"This silver needle just looks scary." He Yunxi said, "Mom, lie down, I will continue to give you acupuncture."
Mrs. Liu nodded, feeling much relieved.
Regardless of whether her treatment worked or not, at least it didn't hurt.
He Yunxi quickly pricked her like a hedgehog, spinning or flicking the silver needles from time to time, which made Liu and Lu Yunjiao curious.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing with this injection?" Lu Yunjiao asked curiously.
"This is called twisting. It stimulates acupuncture points to achieve better results." He Yunxi said.
"Then why are some bullets?"
"Different acupuncture points, different sizes of needles, and different stimulation methods." He Yunxi explained.
"Oh." Lu Yunjiao said, "It seems a bit complicated."
"It doesn't count, there are formulas." He Yunxi said.
"Sister-in-law, can you teach me?" Lu Yunjiao asked, feeling a little embarrassed after speaking.
She heard that the medical clinics in the town and county would not easily accept apprentices, let alone those who studied medicine. If she proposed it, her sister-in-law would definitely not agree.
What's more, she is still a girl.
"You want to learn? Yes!" He Yunxi responded, "I will teach you when I have time later."
Lu Yunjiao looked at her in shock: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course." He Yunxi said, "If you want to learn, why don't I teach you? It's just that learning medicine is very boring. If you want to learn it, you have to persevere."
"I will." Lu Yunjiao said excitedly, "I will definitely do it."
Since Lu Yunjiao wanted to learn, she told Lu Yunjiao about acupuncture points while waiting. She told her which acupuncture points had been pricked today and what their functions were. Then she told her what the acupuncture points were.
It was the first time that Lu Yunjiao knew that the human body was still like this, and her eyes were full of novelty. She also tried hard to memorize the commonly used acupuncture points mentioned by He Yunxi.
When the time came, He Yunxi pulled out the needle: "Mom, I'm going to give you moxibustion next. For your first moxibustion, you may have some uncomfortable reactions, such as nausea, fainting, etc. This is normal. More
Just a few moxibustion sessions will help."
"Sister-in-law, why is this happening?" Lu Yunjiao asked.
"Many of my mother's meridians and acupuncture points are blocked. Moxibustion will guide the body to clear those blockages. When the body's Qi gathers in those places, it will easily lead to lack of Qi in other places, which will cause discomfort.
." He Yunxi explained, "After a few more moxibustion sessions, the body becomes unblocked and the problem will naturally disappear."
Mrs. Liu was surprised when she saw that He Yunxi's words were clear and logical.
She has also heard of acupuncture, but because she is a woman and the doctors are all men, she has never experienced acupuncture. However, in all her years of living, she has never heard of moxibustion as a treatment method.
He Yunxi asked Lu Yunjiao to make a bowl of sugar water for Mrs. Liu to drink. Lu Yunjiao was grabbed by everyone when she went out.
"Third sister, what's going on inside? Why did you get out?" Lu Yu asked.
"Sister-in-law has just given my mother acupuncture, and she is going to have moxibustion next. She asked me to make a bowl of sugar water for my mother," Lu Yunjiao said.
"How is mom doing now?" Lu Yan asked.
"I'm in good spirits."
Lu Ming still didn't quite believe in He Yunxi's medical skills: "Sister-in-law, does she really know acupuncture?"
"Of course. My sister-in-law knows a lot. She also said that she will teach me medical skills later!" Lu Yunjiao saw how powerful He Yunxi was and believed in her medical skills even more, "I'm going to make some sugar water for my mother."
Her attitude made everyone feel at ease.
She mixed some sugar water and brought it in. After Liu drank it, He Yunxi began to give her moxibustion.
First the back and front, first up and then down. Because there can only be two acupuncture points at a time, and each acupuncture point can only last a quarter of an hour, it took her more than half an hour to finish the moxibustion.
Liu's condition was fine during the moxibustion, but she was a little dizzy and had no other discomfort. He Yunxi asked her to sleep. After the moxibustion, he covered her with a quilt and went out gently with Lu Yunjiao.
People in the yard gathered around, and He Yunxi said: "My mother's condition is not bad. She is asleep now. When she wakes up, you can go in and see her. Lu Yan, I want to write a prescription."
"follow me."
Lu Yan took her to his study, which was usually locked. The original person had never come in before, and it was also the first time for He Yunxi to come in.
Lu Yan put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone away and asked her to write. He Yunxi stopped as soon as he took the pen.
She has learned calligraphy before, but the characters here are traditional Chinese characters and she can't read them all.
"Well, my handwriting is ugly, so you should write it." He Yunxi stood up and handed the brush to Lu Yan, "I'll read it, you write it."
Lu Yan sat down and wrote whatever He Yunxi read.
He Yunxi couldn't help but marveled when he saw his handwriting.
His calligraphy is also so beautiful, horizontally and vertically, vigorous and powerful, and each character is the same size, just like those rubbings.
"Tsk, your handwriting is really beautiful." She admired sincerely.
Lu Yan has been prescribing medicine for Liu for a long time, and he knows what most of the medicinal materials do at a glance. Some of the medicinal materials are unfamiliar to him, but he can be sure that this prescription is not made by her casually.
However, the cost of this medicine should not be cheap.
He folded the prescription and said, "I'll ask my second son to go to the county."
"If possible, buy some more medicinal materials." He Yunxi gave some more names, "These medicinal materials are used to make medicinal meals. Do not mix them with the medicine in the prescription."
"Yeah." Lu Yan went out, gave the prescription to Lu Ming, gave him all the money at home, and asked him to go to the county to get the medicine.
"Let's go later. I'll fry you two pancakes and you can eat them on the way." He Yunxi said and dove into the kitchen.
Lu Ming is only twelve years old. It is the time when his body is growing. How can he not eat enough?
Lu Ming wanted to say no, but thought of the pancakes in the morning and stopped.
It was just that pancakes were made quickly. He Yunxi quickly fried a few pancakes and wrapped them in big leaves. He also filled a bamboo tube with water and put them together in his backpack.
"If you're hungry on the way to the pancakes, I'll pack some cold water for you. Drink this if you're thirsty. The water in the small ditch on the roadside is not that hygienic after all." He Yunxi said, and then said smoothly: "Be careful on the road."
Lu Ming watched He Yunxi doing these things naturally, pursed his lips, and finally said "oh" and walked out of the yard with a basket on his back.
"The weather is hot now, and the sun is even stronger at noon. If you encounter an ox cart on the road, just take the ox cart." He Yunxi said, "Mom is also waiting for you to come back to get some medicine."
"I understand." Lu Ming responded this time before going down the mountain.
He is not afraid of the heat, but it would be much faster to ride on an ox cart. Thinking that my mother is still waiting for the medicine to come back to cook, he might just ride on an ox cart.
"Sister-in-law!" Lu Yunqing ran over, hugged He Yunxi's leg, and smiled happily.
He Yunxi poked her little head and asked with a smile: "You are smiling so happily. What are you happy about?"
