Chapter 78: Shen Ning: Panic in the heart, as stable as an old dog
Even though Butler Zeng’s questions were illogical, it was not difficult to guess that the ghost doctor had treated Xiao Yunqi, probably using some kind of medicine to prolong his life, but now he has run out of medicine.
If heart disease could be cured, why would people around the world look for ghost doctors to stay alive?
But Shen Ning couldn't tell the truth, otherwise his head would be in danger.
And you can't answer it wrong, otherwise your life will be in danger.
This put her in a difficult situation, and she could only think of a universal answer to deal with it. But since Xiao Yunqi was taking medicine, there was no universal answer.
No one gave up hope. The officers and soldiers were sharpening their knives and could call it a day after this.
Shen Ning was anxious and looked around secretly, trying to find the best breakthrough point, hoping to survive.
She quietly stepped back, holding the dagger tightly in her sleeve, intending to break out of the encirclement, "Nine Turns of Resurrection Pill."
This was the only copy she saw at the Museum of Ancient Chinese Medicine. It was said to have been dug out from a thousand-year-old tomb. The only copy was relatively well preserved. She was lucky enough to read it. It was full of rare and rare secret recipes.
Among them, the secret recipe of the Nine Turns of Resurrection Pill is the most legendary. It is said to be able to cure all diseases in the world, but future generations only treat it as a joke.
The Ancient Chinese Medicine Association was interested in researching the secret recipe, but more than a dozen medicinal materials were either extinct or unheard of, so they had to give up in the end.
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Zeng's expression suddenly changed.
Shen Ning was in mourning. Just when she was about to use Qing Kung Fu to run away, Butler Zeng rushed towards her as fast as lightning and grabbed her arm and asked, "Nine-turn Resurrection Pill?"
"Yes." He was panicking inside, but on the outside he was as calm as an old dog.
Butler Zeng's pupils were shocked, "Can you make the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill?"
Shen Ning was confused. Could it be that a blind cat met a dead mouse-accidentally?
Her mind was spinning very fast, and she dared to commit suicide. She took the opportunity to clear up the relationship, "My father was once kind to the ghost doctor. In order to repay his kindness, the ghost doctor taught him the technique for three months and left behind the secret recipe of the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill. I have little talent and little knowledge." I don’t know how to make it.”
There is a secret recipe for the unique medicine, but since the thing is similar and the person has the same name, it may not be the same medicine at all. It is more important for her to keep her head.
Butler Zeng stopped her from leaving and said nervously: "Do you know where the ghost doctor is now?"
Shen Ning looked troubled, "I received guidance from my master twenty years ago, but I still don't know clearly now."
Housekeeper Zeng had seen countless people and had extremely sharp eyes. He couldn't help but be suspicious of her identity. He suddenly came up with an idea, "Since you have been given the guidance of the ghost doctor, and I think your medical skills are not bad, why not join the ordinary application."
If he was really capable, Shen Ning would naturally not be afraid.
She felt relieved, nodded and said, "Thank you, housekeeper, for your support."
Butler Zeng was eager to clear up the confusion and led Shen Ning to skip the oral examination and jump directly to the medical consultation.
Come in from the side door, go through the corridor and come to the courtyard. There are two rooms on the left and right, and there is a patient in each room. "Doctor Li, please."
Shen Ning, whose pseudonym is Li Chunniu, is an ugly middle-aged man over forty years old.
She has rich clinical experience and walks in with her head held high without any dissatisfaction.
Lying in the room was a man with a swollen abdomen. His face was sallow and thin, his expression was painful, he moaned from time to time, and his consciousness was semi-conscious.
Shen Ning looked, heard, and felt, felt her pulse, and then looked at her eyelids. She found that her body was thin and her lower limbs were swollen.
Lifting up the patient's shirt, one could see that the abdomen was surprisingly large and stretched thinly, exposing cyan blood vessels.
After patting it gently with my hands a few times, I immediately came to a conclusion.
In the second room is a woman, also with a big belly, but she wears a veil on her face, her clothes are luxurious and exquisite, and her wrists are white and delicate.
A slippery pulse, like a jade bead rolling on a disk, is a sign of pregnancy.
However, the pulse conditions are slightly different at different stages of pregnancy.
Shen Ning looked at her swollen belly and frowned slightly, "Miss, please stick out your tongue."
"Bold!" an angry voice sounded.
Shen Ning was neither humble nor arrogant, "To cure a disease, you need to see, hear, listen and listen carefully. If the girl is unwilling to cooperate, how can I be treated?"
Surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and she hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Men and women cannot be intimate."
"Human life is at stake, not to mention that I am open-minded and have no wrong thoughts." Looking at her words and deeds, Shen Ning's judgment became more certain, "Furthermore, the girl has a noble status, but she is willing to be recruited as a patient. Don’t you want to cure the disease?”
The woman was worried, "Can't you diagnose your pulse?"
"Taking the pulse is only one of the means of diagnosing a disease. The pulse conditions of many diseases are very similar and easy to confuse, so it cannot be accurately diagnosed and treated."
The woman was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she lifted the veil and exposed her tongue.
Shen Ning looked at her eyelids and then asked to touch her abdomen.
The woman scolded her angrily, but Shen Ning was the first to say, "It's very possible that the girl is not pregnant."
Her face turned red, and after a long hesitation she exposed her belly.
It felt as hard as a stone. Shen Ning patted it gently to see if there were any signs of discomfort and vomiting. "How long has this been going on?"
The woman found it difficult to say, "Five years."
After coming out of the room, Housekeeper Zeng was waiting with her hands folded. Even several famous doctors from Xuanhu Pavilion were there. They were all waiting with solemn expressions, as if she could not leave alive unless Ziwu Maoyou came.
Butler Zeng said, "Does Doctor Li have any diagnosis and treatment results?"
Shen Ning looked serious, "The male patient has a tumor in his liver, causing necrosis and hardening, and a large amount of fluid in the abdomen. The female patient is a parasitic fetus. Because the tumor continues to grow, it has squeezed other organs. If not treated, she will die. Danger."
As soon as these words came out, Butler Zeng and several miracle doctors looked shocked, especially when they heard about the parasitic fetus, their jaws almost dropped.
Butler Zeng invited Shen Ning into the hall to "serve tea."
Not only did he serve tea, but his manner of talking was much better, which showed that he had predicted the condition of the two of them.
Sclerotic ascites caused by late-stage liver cancer is very common in later generations. As for the chance of parasitic fetus, the incidence rate is much lower, with an incidence rate of one in 500,000.
Shen Ning once performed an operation on a case. Under the conditions of advanced medical technology, the operation was not difficult, but now it is regarded as a difficult and complicated disease, and it is not easy to perform a smooth operation.
"Is there a cure for liver cirrhosis?"
"It was discovered too late and there is no possibility of cure. We can only use medicine and acupuncture to relieve his pain while he is dying."
"Where is the female patient?" Butler Zeng asked nervously, "What is a parasitic fetus?"
"A parasitic fetus is a fetus within a fetus. When the mother is pregnant with twins, at the beginning of the fetus's growth, one of the fetuses partially or completely devours the body of the other fetus and allows it to become parasitic in its own body."
Everyone was shocked, and one of the doctors spilled the tea with trembling hands, and said excitedly: "Nonsense, that girl is clearly pregnant, how could there be such a ridiculous birth theory as a parasitic fetus?"
"There are laws in the pregnancy of all things. A person can only conceive in ten months." Shen Ning asked politely, "That girl has been pregnant for five years and has not given birth. Please give me your advice, sir."
She spoke sharply, and the doctor's face turned red and hesitantly said: "That girl is most likely pregnant with Xiangrui."
