Chapter 1261 Dipping
Xiang Mingxue was a good test subject because he was not only obedient, but he could also read and write and knew how to express his feelings.
Every time Manbao gave him an acupuncture injection, she could get complete information feedback from him, and she wrote it all down.
Knowing that pain would make it difficult to sleep, Manbao gave him another injection before going to bed. Seeing that he gradually fell asleep, he calculated the time and removed the needle.
Through the first two experiments, Manbao already knew that different acupuncture frequencies had different anesthetic effects. After the needle was removed, Xiang Mingxue would need about quarter of an hour for the pain sensation to slowly recover, but a person's sensitivity to pain would also decrease during sleep.
I just hope he can get a good night's sleep.
Manbao stood up and whispered to Xiang Chao, "If he's in severe pain in the second half of the night, call me and I'll give him another injection. Be sure to be careful with his feet. Don't let them come into contact with water or dirt."
She didn't have the anti-inflammatory injections written in the book, but she had whiteheada, coptis chinensis, artemisia capillaris, bupleurum, garlic, honeysuckle, andrographis paniculata, isatis root, scutellaria baicalensis, purslane and dandelion, etc. These medicines can also reduce inflammation.
Teacher Mo found her several anti-inflammatory prescriptions recorded in medical history. Many of the medicinal ingredients were extinct there, so there were no conditions for experiments.
But she has it here.
Take it internally and apply it externally, and be more careful. She doesn't believe that Xiang Mingxue's wound will not heal.
God was very kind to us and the temperature dropped sharply that night. Not to mention bacteria, even people would have been frozen to death by now.
Of course, the bacteria were still there, just much less. So the next day, Manbao prepared the ointment again and applied it to him. After bandaging the wound, he felt his pulse.
Manbao nodded in satisfaction. "It must be very painful. I'll give you some painkillers and give you another injection later."
Xiang Mingxue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. He was actually a little worried because she had been asking him to tough it out.
Xiang Liuye and Xiang Chang also came to see Xiang Mingxue. They also did not come in, but talked to him at the window.
It was a cold day with a chilly wind. Master Xiang Liu said only two words before closing the window. He also said to Xiang Chao, "It got cold suddenly. We bought two new quilts. Let's dry them in the sun later and cover the Second Young Master with them at night. He can't stand the cold in this weather."
Xiang Chao responded.
Manbao also put on the new clothes that Zheng made for her and dressed herself up carefully. She clumsily tied her hair according to the hairstyle she learned that day, and then inserted a pearl flower into it. When she went out, Bai Erlang saw her and couldn't help laughing.
Bai Shan couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Man Bao pouting angrily, he suppressed his laughter and stepped forward to pull out the pearl flower. "This braid is a little crooked. Let me help you fix it."
But Bai Shan's hands were even more broken than Man Bao's. She hadn't tied her hair very well to begin with, and after he "tidyed it up", her hair just fell down in disarray.
When Bai Erlang saw this, he held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. When Bai Shan saw this, he couldn't help laughing out loud either.
Mr. Zhuang saw this and shook his head and laughed, "Stop messing around. Go comb your hair. We'll be leaving soon."
Manbao could only go back to the house with a pout, comb her hair into two buns, and then insert two pearl flowers on them.
Old Madam Liu and Zheng came to pick them up and went to Xuandu Temple together. Mr. Xiang Liu didn't quite understand why they chose to go to the Taoist temple for the dip today. They didn't have this custom, so they didn't go.
Zhou Wulang was rarely generous and gave Manbao a hundred coins, asking her to donate it to the Taoist temple in the name of the Zhou family to pray for her family.
This is the largest amount of money the Zhou family has given out so far. You have to know that when they were in Qili Village, they gave away a basket of eggs and a small bag of rice and flour, which were worth far less than a hundred coins.
Old Lady Liu gave a large sum of money to the Taoist temple and asked them to perform rituals for three consecutive days. Because there were many dead souls involved, the list she submitted included not only her son and Zhou Yin and his wife, but also people she knew who died at the hands of King Yizhou twelve years ago.
Five thick and heavy silver ingots were handed to the Taoist priest, and Manbao and the other two couldn't help but follow the silver with their eyes.
Madam Liu turned around and saw them like this. She couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and tapped Manbao's nose and said jokingly, "I didn't feel bad about giving you hundreds of gold before, so why are you feeling bad now?"
She said, "You are not people who are short of money, so don't act like this and make people laugh at you."
The three of them smiled embarrassedly with their heads down.
Manbao was thinking, what about the hundred taels? If it were at home, it would be great to give it to the Taoists. It would keep the money within the family. After all, the steps for performing rituals are similar, and Taoist temples all over the world are like one family...
Bai Shanze thought that he still owed Bai Erlang money, and he didn't know when he could go back to Qili Village to get the money and pay it back to him, or he could find a way to make some money in the capital?
Bai Shan started to think, and followed his grandmother to the main hall where rituals were performed, sitting cross-legged and watching the Taoists chanting scriptures and performing rituals.
They had been good friends with Dao and Daoxu since childhood, so they had naturally read their scriptures. It was impossible for them to memorize all of them, but they knew several scriptures that were often used in rituals.
Hearing the Taoists reciting the scriptures they were familiar with, Bai Shan and the others slowly calmed down and simply closed their eyes and recited along.
For a moment, the only sounds in the hall were their low chanting and the sounds of Taoist priests walking around performing rituals.
The sandalwood incense curled up as the ritual slowly came to an end. Zheng wiped the tears from her eyes, stepped forward to help Old Lady Liu up, and said to the three children who had gotten up, "Go and see where Mr. Zhuang is. Is there any scenery to see? If not, we'll go down the mountain and go home."
Manbao said, "Spring and summer are better, when there are flowers to enjoy."
Madam Liu smiled, reached out and touched her head and said, "You'll be able to see it next year."
Mr. Zhuang and the abbot were sitting in a room in the backyard drinking tea and playing chess. Because of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Chen, he was familiar with the Taoists in the temple, especially the abbot. He and Mr. Jiang were good friends, so when Mr. Zhuang came to Xuandu Temple, he went directly to him.
Manbao and the others also knew about this, so they came over as if they were familiar with the place, and after greeting the abbot, they stood aside obediently.
Mr. Zhuang glanced at the chess game that had just ended and said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
The abbot also nodded and smiled, "What a coincidence."
He looked up at the three young men waiting beside him and said to Mr. Zhuang with a smile, "Good times have come after bad times. Mr. Zhuang is very lucky, and so are the three of you."
Mr. Zhuang smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Master. It seems we came at the right time today."
The master nodded and smiled, "Of course."
After saying that, he stood up and sent them down the mountain. This was the first time that Manbao insisted that it was thanks to the one hundred taels, but Bai Shan thought it was because the master saw that they had a bright future. Bai Erlang followed silently without thinking about anything.
The next update will be around 8pm
