Chapter 35 Going Home for the New Year
The soldier suddenly vomited blood and fainted, which scared Lin Qian. Lin Qian asked, "Master, why did he suddenly become like this?"
Meng Yi explained, "This person with a broken sternum looks dangerous on the outside, but there's another type of person who may appear fine on the outside but be extremely dangerous on the inside."
Pointing at the unconscious soldier vomiting blood, Meng Yi said, "Take him for example. He looks normal on the outside, but in fact, many parts of his internal organs have begun to rupture and bleed.
I just used a styptic needle and helped him stop the bleeding."
Lin Qian understood, and then said, "Normal hemostatic acupuncture stops external injuries. However, reverse hemostatic acupuncture stops internal injuries. Is that right?"
"Not bad." Meng Yi touched Lin Qian's head. His apprentice was really smart. He could often draw inferences from one example and could learn things very quickly.
Next, Master Meng Yi and his disciple began to get busy again, and it was not until the moon was at its zenith that there were no more injuries.
The doctor who had been there before finally came over at this moment. "I'm Ye Duhuo, the military doctor. What are your names?"
When Meng Yi heard Ye Duhuo introduce himself, his eyes suddenly became complicated for a moment, and Lin Qian looked up at him.
Meng Yi said, "My name is Sun Xiao, and this is my apprentice."
Ye Duhuo nodded, then asked, "Then I wonder where Doctor Sun's medical skills were learned? I've seen that Doctor Sun has superb medical skills, so I think he must have learned from a famous family."
"This is an ancestral heirloom, but my ancestor was once a disciple of Wang Weiyi." Meng Yi said.
Wang Weiyi, also known as Wei De, was a physician in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was an expert in acupuncture and moxibustion, and he created the Illustrated Guide to Acupuncture and Moxibustion of the Bronze Man.
He also made two bronze acupuncture figures, one of which is missing and the other is in the National Museum.
"So that's how it is." Ye Duhuo nodded. No wonder he had such exquisite acupuncture skills. It turned out that his master taught him this from Wang Weiyi.
Ye Duhuo took a look at the attire of the master and disciple, then said, "Doctor Sun, have you ever thought about becoming an official? The border is in great need of men right now. If you're interested, I can recommend a few for you to the commander-in-chief."
Meng Yi has superb medical skills. If he could stay at the border, he would definitely be able to save more people.
"No, I don't like being bound by constraints. It's better to be a traveling doctor and live freely." Meng Yi rejected Ye Duhuo's proposal.
Ye Duhuo laughed and said, "I was reckless. Doctor Sun is such a good doctor. If he wanted to be a medical officer, he would have done it long ago."
After saying that, Ye Duhuo said goodbye.
After he left, Lin Qian said, "His name is so strange, it's actually Duhuo?"
Meng Yi said, "He is from the Ye family in the capital. Their family has always named their children after medicinal herbs."
Lin Qian nodded. "Duhuo, pungent, bitter, slightly warm, dispels wind and dampness, relieves numbness and relieves pain. Is that right?"
"Hahaha, this young man is teachable!"
"Master, do you have any connection with the Ye family? Otherwise, why would you hide your real name?" Lin Qian asked, remembering that Meng Yi had said his name was Sun Xiao.
Without anyone around, Meng Yi's expression became even more complicated. After a long moment, he sighed, patted Lin Qian's head, and said, "Don't ask so many questions, kid. In short, don't let anything slip."
Lin Qian said "oh" and touched her chin.
Meng Yi had previously introduced him to the eight major medical families in the capital, and the Ye family was one of them.
Looking at Meng Yi's expression every time he mentioned the Ye family, Lin Qian guessed that it was most likely an emotional issue.
From that day on, the master and the disciple temporarily settled in the military camp. They didn't know what was going on these days, but many soldiers were injured and sent here every day.
"Doctor Ye, is there a war at the border? Why are so many people injured every day? But why haven't we heard about it?" Meng Yi asked.
Ye Duhuo explained, "It's not really a war. The weather is about to get cold, and the soldiers on the grassland have no food in the winter. Every year at this time of year, they come to steal food and harass us from time to time. We've become accustomed to it."
So that's how it is. I hope there's no need for a war, Lin Qian thought.
Linjia Village is only sixty or seventy miles away from the border. Once a war breaks out, it will definitely be affected.
In the past few days, Lin Qian's bandaging skills have improved dramatically, and she can now help people set bones and heal injuries by herself.
In addition, she has internal strength and has an inexplicable intuition when it comes to sensing the human skeleton. Meng Yi has seen her progress.
Even Ye Duhuo had privately praised Lin Qian for her talent.
After half a month, there were finally no more wounded soldiers coming. It was heard that the grassland soldiers were defeated.
The next day, Meng Yi took Lin Qian and said goodbye.
It is now the end of November and the weather is very cold. It is even colder at the border. As soon as I left the military camp, I was covered in yellow dust and sand.
"Bah! It's really cold here!" Lin Qian spat out two mouthfuls of yellow sand, wrapped her cotton jacket tightly around her body and said.
Meng Yi asked in confusion, "It's like this every year. Didn't you grow up here? Why do you still feel cold?"
I was careless. Before Lin Qian traveled through time, her hometown was Anhui. Although it was cold in winter, it was not as cold as here.
Lin Qian said, "My home is close to the mountains, so there's rarely any strong wind. I feel like it's a bit colder here. I don't go out much in the winter, so I don't know why it's so cold here."
Thinking that Lin Qian was only ten years old this year and would definitely not be able to withstand the cold, Meng Yi pulled out a piece of clothing from his bag and put it on Lin Qian.
Meng Yi's clothes were very big. When he draped them over Lin Qian, they covered her ankles and made her very warm.
In fact, Lin Qian has internal strength. When it is really cold, she can use her internal strength to drive away the cold, but she didn't say anything and let Meng Yi put it on her.
I remember one time when she was in the second grade, there was a heavy snowfall, like goose feathers. In order to take her to school, Lin Wu took her on his bicycle.
Unfortunately, the snow on the road was too thick and the bike couldn't be ridden at all, so he could only push Lin Qian by himself. At that time, the only helmet was put upside down on Lin Qian's head, and she didn't get cold until she got to school.
However, Lin Wu's face was red from the cold.
Looking at the clothes on her body, Lin Qian looked up at Meng Yi again.
"Master, let's go home." Lin Qian took two quick steps, took Meng Yi's hand, and said.
Meng Yihui held Lin Qian's hand, lowered his head and smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you miss your parents?"
Lin Qian nodded: "A little bit, but the New Year is coming soon, we have to go home for the New Year."
"Going home for the New Year? Yes, it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, and it will be time for the New Year." Meng Yi muttered to himself.
He had been driven out of his family for almost ten years and had almost forgotten what the Chinese New Year was like.
However, Meng Yi looked down at Lin Qian, who was smiling. From this year on, he also had a family and someone to celebrate the New Year with.
"Okay, let's go! Let's go home."
Lin Qian jumped up and down to catch up: "Let's go home!"
