Ye An understood why Chen Lin named sewing wounds a "skill".
Do people have other ways to solve things they don't understand besides using religious beliefs? After all, not everyone is a scientist who pursues the truth, but Butcher Zhou became very interested in this miraculous technique.
After finally removing the messy linen bandage, I finally saw the wound. Xu Rengang's calf had been broken. He shivered in pain as long as he was touched slightly, and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead.
"Ye Hou, is there any hope for this?"
The anxious Cheng Gongshou became a little desperate when he saw his good brother's calf bending in a strange arc.
"People can't die, but this leg still needs medical treatment before it is possible to go to the ground. It may be more painful later. Xu Rengang, can you still hold on?"
Facing Ye An's inquiry, Xu Rengang smiled weakly and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, I can entrust you with this little man's life. No matter how much you treat me, Xu will die without any regrets!"
Ye An nodded. Fractures were not a fatal disease in later generations, and there was even a high probability that they could be cured. However, in this era, the mortality rate was not low, and it was very likely that the person would be disabled for life.
A man is almost the backbone of a family and all hope. Once he is disabled for life, it will be a devastating blow to the family.
Not only is it unable to support a whole family, it even needs a whole family to support.
The Imperial Guardsmen like Xu Rengang were better off, and there was a sense of brotherhood, but the feeling of being helped was not pleasant. This era cared more about one's own value than later generations, and receiving help was not a glorious thing.
Fractures caused by blunt force injuries generally do not cause very serious trauma. Ye An carefully observed and tested with his hands. Xu Rengang followed Ye An's fingers and let out a horrible cry.
Afraid that he would bite his tongue, Butcher Zhou stuffed linen cloth in his mouth.
Ye An finally stopped what he was doing, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not a fracture, it's a crack. Is there a plaster?"
"Gypsum is used as medicine? It has the effect of astringing sores, promoting muscle growth, absorbing moisture, and stopping bleeding."
Butcher Zhou nodded slightly, confirming Ye An's approach, but Ye An's next words surprised him: "Prepare five kilograms of plaster, and get some warm water."
"Five pounds?! Wouldn't that kill someone?!"
Ye An ignored Butcher Zhou's exclamation. Instead, he carefully observed the arrow wound on Xu Rengang's body. Fortunately, it was protected by armor and the wound was not deep. He turned to Xu Yongzhang and said: "Take lard, rosin, fried flour, yellow wax
, camphor, borneol, and myrrh."
Butcher Zhou pricked up his ears and listened to Ye An's words. These things can cure external injuries, but no one has ever taken them as medicine.
For Ye An, Xu Rengang's leg injury is not the most important thing. Instead, he should cure the profiteer first. After Xu Yongzhang got what he needed, Ye An immediately stirred it with warm water until it became sticky, and then he made a golden cake.
medicine.
He learned this from a barefoot doctor who bought medicine when he was setting up a stall in later generations. The old man was over seventy years old, and he was quite a fairy. However, most of the things he bought were mainly aphrodisiacs.
The glass jar of tiger penis wine is his signature...
In his words, no one believes in the authentic stuff passed down from ancestors, that is, some people buy these "tiger whip wine" brewed with radish and ginseng.
Ye An didn't believe it at first, but the old man got drunk after drinking some wine and insisted on showing it to Ye An late at night, so the injured wild dog on the roadside became the best "test subject".
Not to mention, after applying this ointment to the bites of other wild dogs, they were healed the next morning. The wild dog actually took the old man as its master and wandered in front of his stall all day long. The old man took him in every time he went there.
Come down.
Recalling that summer night of drinking, Ye An unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth. The life of setting up a stall is also full of fun, isn't it?
It's just that such a smile is a little weird in the eyes of the people around you. Who can stand a young man holding a knife and laughing at someone's wound?
After the ox-ear-pointed knife is roasted and disinfected over fire, the carrion in the wound is cut away. In summer, such wounds are most susceptible to decay.
He used the wine in his own kettle to perform a simple disinfection. It wasn't until Xu Rengang fainted from the pain that Ye An shaved off the white rotten flesh inside and carefully sewed up the wound with needle and thread.
A group of burly men around looked at all this, all of them were frightened and turned pale. The impact of the picture was too strong. How could this be something that young people can do?!
After cleaning the wound, sprinkle the prepared gold wound medicine, which is actually a kind of chitosan powder for external use. In order to achieve a better effect, Ye An added water to make an ointment.
Apply it gently on the wound. As long as it can scab, there is no risk of infection and it can heal within a period of time. But the most important thing is that the patient's own immunity is needed.
A round wooden barrel was brought over, and Xu Rengang's feet were put into it. At the same time, the mixed plaster was poured in, and cold water was constantly poured on the outside to cool down, and a plaster mold was completed.
Ye An patted the plaster on Xu Rengang's foot, turned to Cheng Gongshou and Xu Yongzhang and said: "That's it. It can be removed after a month. Whether he can be cured by then depends on his recovery. This period may be
There is some swelling and itching, so don’t be impatient!”
A group of people have been amazed by this miraculous technique. Who would have thought that Xu Rengang, who was about to have his leg amputated, could actually save his leg.
On the other hand, Butcher Zhou stared at the plaster closely and said, "Is this method similar to the effect of willow wood on bones?"
Ye An nodded: "It's similar, except that splints made of willow wood are often used for temporary fixation on the battlefield. Plaster is the best thing to help patients recover. You have seen my techniques, and you have learned what you need to learn.
, you don’t need me to demonstrate it a second time, right? Then it’s up to you to do it according to my method.”
Butcher Zhou became excited immediately. The new medical knowledge was very attractive to him, especially since the effect seemed to be pretty good, and he no longer had any previous dislike and avoidance.
Chen Lin never expected that Ye An would be so generous and impart such exquisite family knowledge to outsiders without any hesitation.
You must know that compared to literati, doctors are more self-taught and never pass on their family knowledge...perhaps it is the medicine accumulated by generations of family members, which is known as a heirloom that cannot be exchanged for a lot of money.
Cao Yi said with a loud voice: "It's really amazing. If we open a shop in Tokyo to treat those Yamen who like hunting, hey... we can make a lot of money in less than a year!"
Chen Lin shook her head slightly and said: "Do you think he is short of such a small amount of money? Do you know that if this kid Changsheng uses his brain a little, gold and silver will come. If you are a certain company, you will spend money on this Puhui company as soon as possible, and you will not be able to do it later.
It’s like sitting on a mountain of gold and silver!”
