Chapter 251 I was dumbfounded as soon as I entered the house
Shen Tianshu asked Gao Xiuer to take out the ginseng tablets from the medicine box and gave them to Gan Yue to hold under his tongue.
While the ginseng tablets were taking effect, Tan Xu also heard that Gan Yue was not well, so he arranged other things and rushed over.
When he entered the room, he first checked on Gan Yue's condition and saw that his whole body was cyanotic, his limbs were cold, and his pulse was as thin as silk. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly feel it.
Tan Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"I came to see it when it was not dark. The situation was not bad at that time. Why did it suddenly become so serious?"
"His health is too weak, and he will definitely not be able to bear it for a long time." Shen Tianshu said, "Doctor Tan came just in time. I just gave him some ginseng tablets and was preparing for acupuncture. If the effect is not satisfactory, I might give it to him later. If I need moxibustion, you can come over and help me."
"No problem." Tan Xu also wanted to know, if people are like this, what can they do to save themselves?
The ginseng tablets under the tongue gradually took effect, and Gan Yue's pulse became slightly stronger than before.
Shen Tianshu took the opportunity to insert the needle directly into Baihui point.
Gan Yue is a sudden depletion of essence caused by vomiting and diarrhea, leading to the separation of yin and yang, which is a violent outburst.
The Baihui point is the meeting point of all yang, and heavy moxibustion can replenish and enhance yang energy.
Tan Xu understood all this, but Shen Tianshu's acupuncture technique was something he had never seen before, and it was completely different from what he had learned.
I saw her pressing Gan Yue's pulse point with one hand and holding a long needle in the other hand, inserting it into Baihui point and twisting it.
"Doctor Tan, please take a needle and insert it straight into the Neiguan point, inserting the needle half an inch to an inch."
Tan Xu quickly came to his senses and followed Shen Tianshu's instructions.
Moxibustion on both acupuncture points only made Gan Yue's breathing a little calmer, but his limbs were still cold and did not warm up.
"Xiu'er, go find some salt and prepare moxa."
Gao Xiuer originally worked at Shen Tianshu's maternal grandfather's house. There was Mr. Liu, the former imperial doctor at home. Although he didn't know medical skills, he was still very skilled in helping.
She went to the kitchen to get a salt shaker, and then followed Shen Tianshu's instructions to twist moxa velvet into moxa sticks the size of broad beans.
Then spread the salt noodles flatly on Gan Yue's Shenque point, that is, the navel and its surroundings. Place the twisted moxa sticks in the middle. Light it and let it burn out slowly. After it is extinguished, scrape off the moxa ash. The salt noodles will not Move and continue moxibustion.
Salt-separated moxibustion has the effects of restoring yang, stabilizing phlegm, warming the body and dispersing cold.
Generally speaking, acupuncture can basically solve the problem, but Gan Yue's condition was so serious that Shen Tianshu could only use a two-pronged approach to achieve results.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Gan Yue's limbs finally began to slowly warm up, and his body gradually stopped sweating, but his consciousness still did not return.
Shen Tianshu asked Tan Xu to use the acupuncture, leaving only the golden needle in Baihui point, and then asked Gao Xiuer to continue moxibustion.
Tan Xu was very excited when he saw Gan Yue's improvement. Seeing that Shen Tianshu didn't need him, he simply took over Gao Xiuer's moxibustion job.
Almost another quarter of an hour passed like this, before Gan Yue's expression finally improved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Gao Xiuer was the first to discover it and shouted happily: "Wake up, madam, I'm awake."
"I..." Gan Yue's voice was extremely weak.
"Don't move or talk yet." Shen Tianshu raised his hand and gently pressed Gan Yue's forehead, and slowly pulled out the golden needle.
Tan Xu was very excited when he saw someone waking up, and said repeatedly: "Xiao Yue, you are finally awake."
The room was so dark that Gan Yue couldn't see clearly. He heard the voice and asked tentatively: "Doctor Tan?"
"It's me." Tan Xu held Gan Yue's hand reassuringly, "You almost died just now. You are lucky to be able to wake up, but you have to thank Madam Tong!"
Shen Tianshu checked Gan Yue's pulse again. Although his pulse was still weak at this time, it was already out of the danger range.
She breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Xiu'er, go get some warm water, wipe Gan Yue's body, and cover him with more quilts to prevent others from catching a cold."
After going out, Tan Xu asked: "Ms. Tong, will Xiao Yue be fine again?"
"Whether I can recover or not depends on tonight's situation. As long as I can survive tonight, it should be no big deal."
"Ms. Tong is really skilled in medicine. Your acupuncture techniques are unheard of and unseen by Tan. If I were the only one here today, this child would probably be in trouble."
"The previous decoction is not suitable for his constitution. I have to find a place to make a new prescription and ask someone to send it out and make a new batch of medicine for him."
Tan Xu immediately said after hearing this: "I will take you to Yan's house to get a prescription. Yan Weifeng is studying at home and there are oil lamps, paper and pen at home."
If his admiration for Shen Tianshu before was only because of her righteousness and Prince Wang's attitude, now he had unknowingly begun to follow her lead.
"It seems that Dr. Tan is really familiar with the southwest corner!"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I was actually born here. By chance, I was sent by my family to be an apprentice in a medicine shop. My master discovered that I had a talent for medicine and taught me my skills, so that I could take my family out of here and live a better life. Good days.
"I know very well what life is like for people here. When I have time, I will come over to help everyone see their doctor and help as much as I can.
"But this is nothing to me. Madam Tong knew that it might be an epidemic, but she still decided to come to help. This is the true righteousness, and it is really admirable!"
"A moment of courage is simple, but those like Dr. Tan who do not seek fame or fortune, but insist on giving silently every day, are the most rare. If there are more people like you, it will be a blessing to the people."
"Ms. Tong's compliments are too great to be worthy of."
The two people were walking towards Yan's house while talking. When they passed the intersection, they suddenly saw brightly lit lights inside and outside a house in front of them.
"Where is that place?" Shen Tianshu asked strangely.
After staying in the southwest corner for so long, every house was very dark. Suddenly seeing such a bright place made people feel like they were hallucinating.
"That's my old house." Although Tan Xu said this, his tone was also full of doubts, "No one has lived in the old house for a long time. The prince's people asked me to borrow it, so I agreed, but it's so late. , why is it still so bright?”
When the two were confused, Xie Yan walked over quickly and said: "Ms. Tong, the house has been tidied up. You can come and rest at any time. According to the prince's instructions, I have also prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones, commonly used medicinal materials and medicine pills for you. Son, if you need anything else, just ask me."
"That's fine, there's no need to disturb the Yan family." Shen Tianshu followed Xie Yan into the house to prescribe a prescription.
Tan Xu followed him and was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the room.
Is this still the dilapidated old house in my memory?
The originally blackened walls of the main room were covered with bamboo-green brocade, and the floor was covered with soft carpets.
In the corner of the room was a Qiangong bed that I didn't know when I moved in. The bed curtains were drooped, and the smell of incense was still coming out.
If Tan Xu hadn't been convinced that he was indeed in his old house, he would have thought that he had mistakenly entered the boudoir of a wealthy lady.
