Chapter 544 Needle or Sword
"Miss Fubao is here to treat my eldest brother. She said that after an injection, he will be able to walk in March." Chen Hongxia answered quickly, with tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Finally, the hard work has paid off.
As long as her elder brother can get better, she doesn't mind living ten years less.
"Are you serious?!" When Chen Tianfeng heard the news, he looked at Jiang Fubao in disbelief.
Seems to be waiting for her answer.
"Yes, really. If the effect is good, it is possible to shorten the time to get out of bed to two months. Do you feel it below the waist now?" Jiang Fubao nodded and then asked.
"No, I don't feel anything at all." Chen Tianfeng looked a little lonely, and the corners of his mouth, which he didn't have time to raise, turned down again.
"It's okay. Lie down first. I'll give you an injection. The stone is not here. Sister Hongxia, you can't lift it by yourself. Go outside and call your sister-in-law in. The two of you can help him turn over together."
Although Erya was very strong, Chen Tianfeng was married after all. Jiang Fubao was worried that his wife would think too much, so he did not let Erya go forward to help.
"No need, I'm here. Fubao, drink some hot water to moisten your throat first." Wang Ruer's voice came from outside the house, and she followed closely into the house.
I saw that she was holding two cups of steaming water in her hands.
You can tell at a glance that it’s freshly cooked.
One cup was placed on the table next to Jiang Fubao, and the other cup was handed to Pan Erya.
Then the aunt and sister-in-law helped Chen Tianfeng turn over, from lying down to lying prone.
Jiang Fubao also opened the wooden box and took out a needle from it.
"Fu, Fubao, what is this? Why did you take out a sword? Are you going to chop the kid's father? Or did you bring the wrong thing?" Wang Ruer was so scared when she saw the needles as thick as fingers and as long as legs that she swallowed several times.
"No, this is not a sword, it's a silver needle." Jiang Fubao explained.
"Ah? Silver, silver needle? You said this is a silver needle? Hey, which shop did you buy it from? You were cheated! How can a silver needle be ground so thick? If you stick it in with this needle, it will stab someone to death?" It would have been fine if he didn't explain. After he explained, Wang Ruer became even more scared.
"You misunderstood. This is called a mang needle, which is different from an ordinary silver needle. I will use this needle to penetrate Brother Tian Feng's Tianzhu acupoint and then pass it out from the Zhongliao acupoint. In the process, countless meridians and acupuncture points must be opened up. If the needle is too thin or too short, it will be difficult to operate.
Oh, it's complicated, I can't explain it in a few words. Anyway, if Brother Tian Feng wants to recover to the way he was before, he must be injected with this needle. Ordinary silver needles will not have any effect on him. It's nothing more than being able to walk a few steps with the help of external force. This is already the best result."
Jiang Fubao told the truth.
When Chen Tianfeng heard them talking, he turned his head with difficulty.
When he saw the needle, his pupils suddenly dilated and then contracted.
My heartbeat quickens as well.
Anyone who sees this thing will be scared.
The same is true of the knife used to bleed pigs.
"Ms. Fubao, if we don't insert this needle and only use ordinary silver needles, will my brother really never be the same as before?"
Chen Hongxia was afraid that her brother would be stabbed to death by the needle, and was also afraid that he would really be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life, so she had no choice but to ask Jiang Fubao again.
Her eyes were dark and difficult to read, as if she was struggling with how to make a choice.
"Yes, with my medical skills, if I only use ordinary silver needles, even with your daily massage, the best result is that he can stand up and walk a few steps, and he needs external help. Forget about working. You can choose for yourself."
Jiang Fubao knew that they were afraid, after all, the needle was too long and too thick.
If you fail, you might even lose your life.
You have reason to be worried.
"I am willing to get the injection, even if it means death." Without waiting for the aunt and sister-in-law to think it over, Chen Tianfeng, as the person who was going to get the injection, made the decision immediately.
"The child's father..." Wang Ruer looked at him, her face full of worry.
"Don't try to persuade me. Rather than lying like this for the rest of my life, I'd rather give it a try. The worst that can happen is death. I'll accept it!" Chen Tianfeng gritted his teeth and interrupted Wang Ruer.
"Okay, take off his clothes. I'm going to start."
Jiang Fubao took out another can of iodine from the medical box. She found it in the cabinet in the space. There was only half a bottle left, but fortunately the space could be refreshed every day. She took it out and poured it into the can every day. It would be enough to use up.
Before each acupuncture treatment, she would take out iodine and apply it on the patient's body.
For people here, bathing was not as convenient as it is now. Even if there were servants to serve them at home, they would only take a bath once every six or seven days in winter. Not to mention farmers, many of them only took a bath once a month.
There are even some people who don't even take a bath for the entire winter.
It's good for them to have an extra layer of protection.
Jiang Fubao pulled out a piece of cotton, dipped it in iodine, and applied it to the back of Chen Tianfeng's neck and coccyx.
The cool iodine made Chen Tianfeng shrink his neck. Fortunately, he was paralyzed, otherwise he would have to shrink his neck again when applying the iodine solution to his coccyx.
After applying the iodine, Jiang Fubao took out a small iron hammer from the medicine box. The aunt and sister-in-law opened their mouths wider and wider.
Is this really an acupuncture injection?
Not doing carpentry work?
"I'm going to give you an injection. Relax and don't be afraid." Jiang Fubao's consolation was of no use. Chen Tianfeng was so scared that his face turned pale.
He clenched his teeth and said nothing.
“Boom boom boom—”
"Ouch——" As the sound of the iron hammer and chisel handle rang out, Chen Tianfeng also cried out in pain.
It would be a lie to say that it didn't hurt when such a thick needle was first inserted.
A bead of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
But this is the most painful moment.
Chen Tianfeng had no feeling in his waist, and he didn't even make a sound when Jiang Fubao was clearing his meridians.
"Dad, does your waist hurt?" Wang Ruer covered her face in fear. She only dared to look through the seams of her fingers.
"It doesn't hurt." Chen Tianfeng was telling the truth.
Not only was there no pain, there was almost no feeling at all.
It's just a little soreness in the back of my neck, but it's bearable. It's not as painful as a stiff neck.
However, in Wang Ruer's eyes, she only saw Jiang Fubao holding the sword-like needle and separating the skin and flesh of her husband.
Then it goes out from the coccyx.
Like roasted hare.
What's the difference between this and peeling the skin?
It's just that there's no blood.
Chen Hongxia's complexion wasn't much better.
The aunt and sister-in-law covered their faces and squinted their eyes.
Both were far away.
Pan Erya was the bravest. She stood beside Jiang Fubao, waiting for her instructions.
"Fubao, do you want to remove the needle?" Chen Tianfeng suddenly said after an unknown amount of time.
"Dad, can you feel it?" Wang Ruer's eyes widened instantly, and her lips trembled slightly because of excitement.
"Well, I felt something leaving my back." Chen Tianfeng was also shocked.
When the injection was given, the needle left my neck and went down to my back and I lost consciousness.
How come I can feel it suddenly?
At that time, Old Chen and Mrs. Cui also came back from the fields.
