029 Smooth Acupuncture
The morning light is breaking.
Sun Sicheng and his entourage had breakfast, the carriage was already harnessed, and they were ready to set off.
Butler Huang came running over, "Help, Master, help me."
Sun Sicheng was shocked. This shouldn’t be the case. After taking the medicine, the hyperactivity should be under control.
"What's the matter?"
Butler Huang knelt down with a thump, tears streaming down his face. "My Lord, my old master suddenly passed out. His nose and mouth are crooked, and he is gasping for air. I'm afraid he is not well."
"Ping'an, come with me. Ruyi, take the medical kit with you. Jixiang, take Erqiang and set up the carriage. I'm afraid we can't leave today.
Brother Wan, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, you should go back to your room and rest. "
"It's okay, it's okay. Just go ahead and do your work." Something has happened to the old man in the county magistrate's family, so the eldest son definitely cannot leave.
Wan Changsheng was busy packing his luggage with Jixiang. The mules and horses had to be settled, and some of the luggage had to be taken back to the room.
County Magistrate Huang was walking around in the mansion when he was knocked unconscious by the sudden situation. It seemed that his old father was about to die.
In addition to being sad, he also lamented about his future.
It’s the time and the fate.
The old father was seeking death, it was his fate, but it ended up hurting himself.
The carriage stopped.
Magistrate Huang and his wife hurried over to greet him, "Young Master, please save my old father's life."
Sun Sicheng's schedule was interrupted, so his face naturally didn't look good: "Why is this happening? Didn't you take your medicine last night?"
County Magistrate Huang blushed, but had to say, "Last night, the servants prepared some medicine, and one of the old master's concubines took it and said she would deliver it herself.
As a result, before the medicine was fed into her mouth, the medicine bowl was knocked over. When the concubine begged for mercy, my father forgave her. Seeing that it was getting late and he felt much better, he thought it would be fine to rest for a night without taking the medicine, so he..."
"What else?" Sun Sicheng's face was gloomy. There should be more than just these.
County Magistrate Huang's ears turned red: "I just found out this morning that the concubine didn't leave at night."
But now she has been locked up in the woodshed, and all that awaits her is to be sold.
"Sir Huang, your father is courting death. This may affect your future and now it has delayed my trip. I am ready to leave and everyone is busy.
If you have a patient like this at home, you should be very careful. Take us there. "
It's really confusing. He had already given clear instructions, but he still wanted to commit suicide.
Lord Huang was sweating profusely. It was rumored that the eldest master would give up medicine if he was in a bad mood. Fortunately, it was okay.
Ping'an walked into the room and saw the old man lying on the kang at a glance. He looked completely different from yesterday. As the housekeeper said, his nose was crooked, his mouth was crooked, he was drooling, and he twitched from time to time.
This is a more serious stroke.
Sun Sicheng didn't have time to get angry. He quickly opened the medical box, took out silver needles and bled his ten fingers.
Ruyi immediately started to squeeze the blood, and the blood that came out was black.
"Master Huang, I can only say that you should try your best. This is a serious stroke. If it happens half an hour later, we will have to go straight to the funeral.
Moreover, even if your father is rescued, he will probably be paralyzed on the kang for a long time. If he recovers, he can walk slowly, but he won’t be able to walk like before.”
County Magistrate Huang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was alive, that was good enough. As long as he was alive, that was good enough.
"Please, Sir, save my old father's life no matter what. I am willing to pay any price."
Sun Sicheng glanced at him. The Huang family was wealthy and had a lot of money. He collected two hundred taels of silver just for the daytime consultations.
"I'll try my best. Everyone else should leave. I can do it by myself, the three of us. The old man needs to get acupuncture done right away."
"Thank you, young master." Lord Huang hurriedly led his people out.
The eldest son was willing to have acupuncture, so his father's life was basically saved.
He then slumped down in the chair in a completely ungraceful manner.
He was just a little bit away from the eldest young master's death. Without the eldest young master's silver needle, he would have to observe mourning this time and his future would be ruined.
He suddenly became furious: "Housekeeper, sell that concubine far away, immediately, right now."
He looked at his wife, who had also softened, and said, "Madam, I have delayed the eldest son's schedule this time. I have to ask him to stay for a few more days. I don't trust him.
So, you can give him a nice gift. He treasures the little disciple very much. You can also give him a purse and one or two pieces of gold jewelry. I heard that the child's parents are also in the inn."
Mrs. Huang nodded quickly, saying that these were trivial matters. Her father-in-law had been doing business for many years and the family was quite wealthy.
Ping An knew that this was just a stroke and it was not very serious. He should be able to recover most of the time with the help of the master.
But the master has a knack for speaking. He always says that the condition is as serious as possible and the treatment is as effective as possible. If the patient is really saved, then he will be very grateful.
It is true that a doctor has his duty, but he has to fleece the patients when it is time to do so, otherwise how will the doctor feed himself?
Modern medicine has done a lot of research on stroke. As long as it is not particularly serious, the life can usually be saved. As for whether hemiplegia will occur, it depends on each person's fate.
He has several very good prescriptions in this regard, but he doesn't know how to use them for the time being and it is not convenient for him to use them. As for the field of medicine, his master is now introducing him to the world for the first time.
"Ping An, in this case, the first step is to let his finger bleed, and then acupuncture. However, there are not many people who know acupuncture in Da Zhou at present, and most of them are just shoddy. You should watch the master's technique carefully."
Ping An nodded and smiled. He should know more about the acupuncture points on the human body than his master. He remembered many famous acupuncture methods very clearly. He had practiced them before, but after all, he practiced on a mannequin and had never used them on a real patient.
This is different.
Sun Sicheng was better than his father and grandfather in acupuncture, truly surpassing his father.
"Ping An, look, the main acupoints are Ting Hui, Dicang, Hegu, and Yingxiang, and the auxiliary acupoints are Feng Chi, Shui Gou, Jia Che, and Si Zhu. This set of acupuncture mainly treats deviated nose and crooked mouth.
The master will perform the second set of acupuncture later, which will treat hemiplegia, so please watch carefully."
While performing acupuncture, Sun Sicheng explained everything to Ping An in detail, including the depth of the silver needles.
Ping An stared closely. He was lucky to have met a good master who was completely devoted to his apprentice.
A quarter of an hour later, one set of needles was removed and another set began. When the silver needles stood trembling on the old man's acupuncture points, Sun Sicheng was already sweating profusely.
Ping An immediately took out a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off his master. Sweat would sting the doctor's eyes, which was a bad thing, so in his previous life, doctors who performed surgery would often have assistants around them to help wipe the sweat off.
Sun Sicheng raised his lips, feeling very happy, and said in a gentle voice: "This kind of acupuncture will probably take five days. We can't leave these few days. I will write a prescription for a two-pronged approach. I will review the prescription in three days. Whether to change it depends on the patient's condition."
"Master, it is really pleasing to watch you perform acupuncture. I want to learn acupuncture in the future."
Sun Sicheng laughed, "Silly boy, it cannot be said to be pleasing to the eye, it has to be said to be smooth and flowing. The master will definitely teach you, but it is probably not easy for you to learn to the master's level."
The only outsider in the room was an unconscious patient, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the master's brilliant smile.
Ping An grinned, thinking that having such a master was really great, he was really lucky.
