Chapter 9 To cure my mother's illness, can you promise me one thing?
Lu Yan stared at He Yunxi closely, trying to see something in her eyes, but other than that she was different from before, he couldn't see anything else.
He intellectually didn't believe her words, but when he thought that the famous miracle doctors said that his mother could only delay her life, he hoped that what she said was true.
He Yunxi tried her best to make herself look normal, but Lu Yan's gaze was too sharp, making her feel like she had nowhere to hide. Just when she was about to lose her strength, she heard Lu Yan ask: "How sure are you?"
"About 70%." He Yunxi didn't finish his words, "But this is a protracted battle, and it won't be resolved in a month or two."
"Completely cured?"
"A good seven or eight points?" He Yunxi still didn't say enough.
"How long can my mother live like that?"
"If it is 70% or 80% better, it will last for more than ten years. If it can be cured, it will last even longer." He Yunxi said, "If it continues like this, it can last for up to one year."
Lu Yan's body was shaken. This was the same time as the miracle doctor said.
The miracle doctor only said this to him, and none of the other children in the family knew this.
And she actually told the same time.
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "How to treat it?"
He Yunxi was a little surprised. He agreed immediately? Did he believe her words so easily?
"I want a pair of silver needles. Also, see if you can find mugwort that is more than three years old. I will tell you what other medicinal materials you need later." He Yunxi said.
"Okay." Lu Yan agreed, "I will find the silver needle for you as soon as possible. As for the mugwort, you come with me."
Lu Yan turned around and went down the mountain, and He Yunxi followed him. The two took a path to an abandoned house at the back of the village.
This house looks very dilapidated. Half of two houses have collapsed, and the other one that has not collapsed is also crumbling.
He Yunxi was a little curious as to why he brought her here.
Lu Yan didn't explain anything. He went over and opened the half-open door, and He Yunxi saw the pile of mugwort piled inside.
The days of those mugworts are not short at first glance.
"Why are there so many dry mugworts here?" He Yunxi asked curiously.
"There used to be a helpless old woman living here. She used to cut a lot of mugwort to sell before the Dragon Boat Festival. She was found dead in the yard three years ago." Lu Yan explained, "All these mugworts were
She prepared it before, it has been three years."
The mugwort looks plentiful, but in fact it has not been burned, and it has a strong smell when burned. They are backed by mountains and have no shortage of firewood, so they did not take it seriously and kept it until now.
He Yunxi looked at these mugworts with bright eyes.
Seeing how happy she looked, Lu Yan asked, "Is this medicinal material?"
He Yunxi nodded: "These are not ordinary medicinal materials, these are treasures!"
oh?
Seeing that he didn't believe it, He Yunxi said: "Mugwort is bitter, pungent, and warm in nature, and enters the spleen, liver, and kidneys. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: The leaves of moxa are used as medicine, and they are warm in nature, bitter in taste, nontoxic, and have pure yang properties.
It clears the twelve meridians and has the effects of restoring yang, regulating qi and blood, removing dampness and cold, stopping bleeding, and relieving fetuses. It is also often used in acupuncture. "Materia Medica Congxin" also says: "Moxa leaves are bitter and pungent, warm, warm when cooked, and have pure yang properties."
, it can return the dying yang, open the twelve meridians, move the three yin, regulate qi and blood, drive away cold and dampness, and warm the uterus... Using moxibustion fire, it can penetrate the meridians and eliminate all diseases."
"so smart?"
"That's natural. Moxibustion was very popular before..." He Yunxi said, "Many conditions can be treated with moxibustion."
"What is moxibustion?"
"Crush moxa leaves to make moxa velvet, then make moxa velvet into moxa sticks, light them with fire, and use moxibustion on different acupoints to have different effects." He Yunxi said, "My mother's body is too depleted, and just taking medicine alone
It is already difficult to be absorbed. But if you use moxibustion, the effect will be very obvious. However, this mugwort cannot be used for everything, it must be aged for three years."
"Then let's move these back."
After hearing that it was effective for the Liu family, Lu Yan directly moved all of them back.
There was a lot of mugwort in the house, and Lu Yan only moved a small part of it. When he came, there were three little tails following him.
Lu Ming has already gone to town, and here are Lu Yu, Lu Yunjiao and Lu Qi.
Even though the three of them are small, the mugwort is not heavy, and they can carry a bundle. Together with He Yunxi and Lu Yan, the five of them carried the rest back.
This much mugwort is enough for Liu to use until her body recovers.
Later, there will be more mugwort.
She watched Lu Yan carry the last big bundle on his back and sighed: "This is too much. Did the old woman sell so much mugwort?"
"Some are for selling, and some are for burning." Lu Yan said, "As I get older, it is impossible to carry firewood on the mountain. These are lighter."
"This is an advantage for us." He Yunxi was still relatively happy, "I will start making moxa sticks when I get back, and then I can start treating my mother."
Lu Yan responded: "I will find the silver needle for you as soon as possible."
"Okay. Acupuncture and moxibustion, the combination of acupuncture and moxibustion will have better effects." He Yunxi said.
Hearing what she said, Lu Yan became even more concerned about it. He planned to go to the mountains tomorrow to see if he could hunt a big prey, so he could buy her a silver needle as soon as possible.
They quickly returned to their home halfway up the mountain. Before entering, He Yunxi stopped Lu Yan and said, "Lu Yan."
Lu Yan looked back at her and heard her say: "Lu Yan, if I can cure my mother's disease, can you promise me something?"
"What's up?"
"Something that is good for you and me." He Yunxi smiled, "How about it?"
He Yunxi is not a top-notch beauty now, but the smile on his face dazzled Lu Yan. He was silent for a moment and said: "If it doesn't touch my bottom line, I can agree."
"No, no." He Yunxi waved his hand, "I definitely won't embarrass you."
She knew that Lu Yan also hated his original body, and if she hadn't come here for joy and made Mrs. Liu feel better, he might have divorced her long ago. As long as her mother's health recovered by then, she said she would divorce her.
He probably wouldn't object.
After receiving Lu Yan's assurance, He Yunxi was very happy and pushed the door open and went in.
"Brother, are these hay used to make fire?" Lu Yunqing asked.
"No, it's for mother's medical treatment." Lu Yan said.
"Can this hay cure diseases?" Not only Lu Yunqing, but the other three little ones also looked unbelieving.
"Of course it can cure diseases." He Yunxi said, "If you have nothing to do now, just pull off the leaves. I only want the leaves. I will decoct the medicine first, drink the medicine and then make moxa sticks."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen, took out the herbs he dug yesterday and started frying them.
Lu Yu asked doubtfully: "Brother, didn't Doctor Liu only prescribe medicine for one day? Why does she still have medicine?"
