Chapter 1282: Scare People
Mrs. Han Wu hadn't eaten anything this morning. Now it was dark, but she still couldn't eat, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Manbao had just finished dinner and encouraged her, "Why don't you get out of bed and move a few steps? You can eat after the gas is exhausted."
Lady Han Wu: "Exhaust?"
"It's just farting," Manbao said, "You can eat after you get rid of all the gas in your stomach."
Mrs. Han Wu: ...
Everyone was puzzled, "Why do we have to fart before we can eat?"
"The purpose of expelling gas is to restore the intestines," Manbao said. "Don't worry. If you still can't pass gas tomorrow morning, I'll give you acupuncture and try. But you also need to move around a bit, which will help with the expulsion."
Mrs. Han Wu didn't quite understand, but seeing Manbao insisting, she endured the pain and moved a little, but she still couldn't get out of bed because it was too painful.
Manbao helped her move her feet. Seeing that she was screaming and Mrs. Han beside her covering her mouth, wanting to help but not daring to stretch out her hand, she moved her feet for about half a minute and then stopped.
In fact, she had prepared a lot of exercises to help with exhaust, but it didn't look like Han Wu Niang could do them.
Manbao sighed.
Mrs. Han Wu drank some warm water, but later she was so hungry that Manbao reluctantly agreed to let her drink some rice soup.
Originally, the kitchen had prepared vegetable soup for her because Manbao said vegetable soup would be fine.
So the kitchen used the best meat and ribs to stew the soup, and put in fresh vegetables that were particularly rare in this season. When it was served, Manbao looked at the meat in the soup and took it to eat.
She said to Han Wu Niangzi, who was looking at her eagerly, "I'm doing this for your own good."
Then he asked someone to go to the kitchen and get her a bowl of rice soup.
Han Wu Niang had been hungry for a whole day and night, and the next day her eyes were blurry and she felt completely exhausted. Man Bao thought for a moment and then forced her to get out of bed and move a few steps with the help of the bed. She had no choice but to give her an acupuncture injection. "This is just an auxiliary measure and may not be effective."
As a result, not long after the needle was inserted, whether it was because the acupuncture was too effective or it was just a coincidence, Han Wu Niangzi began to release a series of air.
Upon hearing the voice, Li Ma and other servants remained calm, but Madam Han turned away with some disgust.
Manbao remained calm, but quietly took a few steps back and encouraged Han Wu Niangzi, who was about to hide under the quilt, "That's right, that's it."
You can eat after you have passed the gas.
Manbao checked her wound and changed the dressing, feeling very satisfied. He gave her a painkiller injection and then advised, "Try to eat liquid food, some soup or porridge, etc. Don't eat anything too greasy. Take good care of yourself."
As Han Wuniang drank her soup, she watched Manbao put away his needle bag and stand up. She asked, "Doctor Zhou, are you leaving?"
Manbao nodded. "You've passed gas and didn't have a fever last night. That's almost it. The rest is to recuperate. Oh, and since you're still living in this room, don't let too many people in. Keep some extra Atractylodes at home. I'll see if it needs disinfection later. If necessary, fumigate again."
Manbao asked Madam Han to go out with her, and happened to see several ladies from the Li Mansion coming together to visit Madam Han Wu, but they were stopped by the maid at the door.
But Manbao could see that the maids were probably unable to stop them, and sure enough, they quickly rushed over to Madam Han and asked with a smile, "Sister Han, how is Madam Wu?"
Madam Han smiled and said, "Much better. This time, thanks to your help, the things prepared in the mansion are so complete."
It was also the first time for the ladies to meet Manbao face to face after the operation, because before that she either stayed in her own guest room or stayed in the delivery room with Madam Han Wu. All of them who wanted to see her were stopped by Madam Han.
So after asking Madam Han, they looked at Manbao with five parts curiosity, three parts excitement and two parts suspicion, asking about Madam Han Wu's situation, and by the way expressed their desire to go and see and comfort her.
In fact, they wanted to see whether Han Wu Niangzi was really alive and conscious now.
Manbao refused their request, but seeing the excitement still gleaming in their eyes, and Madam Han's hesitation after repeated requests, Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Actually, a cesarean section isn't that difficult compared to other medical techniques, but no one has ever thought of giving birth this way. Do you know why?"
The ladies were all very interested because they had all given birth to children or were about to give birth to children, so they showed interested expressions.
Manbao said, "Because it's easy to get killed."
Ladies: ...Does she need to say this?
Manbao asked again: "Do you know why it is so easy to die?"
Mrs. Li Er hesitated and said, "What about opening the abdomen? Because of blood loss?"
Manbao nodded, "That's one aspect, but natural childbirth also has the risk of heavy bleeding."
Man Bao said: "Suture is actually not that difficult. With more practice, you will become proficient. The real difficulty lies in the presence of external evil."
Man Bao stretched out his hand, waved it in the air, and said, "Whether it's the spring breeze, the summer breeze, the autumn wind, or the winter chill, external evil is everywhere. Besides diseases that come from the inside out, the rest are diseases that come from the outside in. These diseases that come from the outside in are called external evil."
Before leaving, Manbao simply told them her own understanding of "being sick", "Look, this is skin, very intact, with only tiny pores."
Manbao held out his hand and rolled up his sleeve to show them. "At this time, if external pathogens want to invade the body, they can only enter through the mouth, nose, and these pores. However, because hands are often exposed, the body naturally has a high degree of resistance. In comparison, external pathogens prefer to enter through the neck, mouth, and nose, which are more sensitive and larger areas. That's why often when you see a doctor with a cold, fever, or dizziness, the doctor will often say it's an invasion of external pathogens."
The ladies were stunned when they heard this. This was easy to understand, so they nodded repeatedly. Then what?
"Then, one day, I cut my already sensitive belly and opened it up. Wouldn't the omnipresent external evils rush in?" Man Bao drew his hand through the air and described it in detail. "Once my belly is opened, the external evils can rush in without passing through the skin. Don't you think this is terrifying?"
The ladies turned pale, frightened by the description of Manbao's image.
Manbao continued, "Do you know why soldiers on the battlefield are not killed by swords during battle, but always die after being injured?"
"It's because of these external evils that cesarean sections are so difficult."
Madam Han was also frightened, "Then the Fifth Madam..."
"Fifth Lady is fine now because I fumigated the room with Atractylodes lancea before the operation, which reduced the 'external evil' in the room. I also washed my hands thoroughly with medicine before the operation and covered my hair. I have done my best."
