Chapter 43
Lei Qi had to lie down sadly because the wound on his waist was too big. Tang Yi leaned closer and saw that his face was purple-red, his teeth were clenched, and hissing sounds were made in his chest, as if he had broken a bellows.
Beside Lei Qi, there were Tang Xiucai, Wang Shimao, and an old man who kept shaking his head.
"Oh, Lei Qi is also a master. I really didn't expect that he would end up like this!"
Tang Xiucai frowned and asked, "Is there no way?"
The old doctor with white hair shook his head and sighed, "Grandpa Tang, I am a little famous in Jiangnan, and I can deal with any difficult and complicated diseases. However, Lei Qi was injured too much, and evil qi entered the body. If the yang deficiency was cold outside, yin deficiency was heat inside. Now Lei Qi was heated inside and outside, and the external heat was heated together. The external and internal symptoms were caused. The wound became suppurated, and the consciousness was unclear, and the disease was terminally ill. If my junior brother was there, there might be some help, others...ah!"
Tang Xiucai also knew some medical skills. Knowing that Lei Qi was in a bad condition, he hurriedly asked, "Who is Junior Brother Ling? Can you find him?"
"Oh, my junior brother is Li Shizhen. His ability is far above me. It's a pity that he is now far away in the capital. It will take a month to come back at the earliest. Lei Qi is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for even three days..."
Tang Xiucai couldn't help but have red eyes. Good people don't live long. They just washed away their grievances and were about to die. Is God so ruthless?
"Dad, don't listen to him." Tang Yi and Wu Tiancheng walked in from outside, and took a few steps to Lei Qi, touched his forehead with the back of his hand, which was hot, and then pulled open his shirt and checked the wound. Lei Qi had many wounds on his body, but because of his strong physique, most of them had healed. Only a large area of the back waist was filled with yellow pus and stinking, and Tang Yi couldn't help frowning.
Tang Xiucai hurriedly asked, "Yi'er, do you have a way to save Lei Qi?"
"The boy dares not say he can save him, at least give it a try!"
Lei Qi's condition simply means that wound infection causes fever, confusion, coma, further development, and even sepsis. In the era without antibacterial drugs, large-scale injuries and infections are basically equivalent to death.
However, Lei Qi has a good foundation in his health. If he rescues him in time, he may still have the possibility of survival.
The most urgent task is to clean the wound and prevent the infection from expanding. The best way to clean the wound is alcohol. Tang Yi dared to say that even though he searched all the Ming Dynasty, he could not get enough alcohol.
It seems that I want to use my golden finger, Lei Qi, Lei Qi, you gave me two hundred taels of silver. I saved you twice. There is no such cheap thing in the world. Just laugh secretly!
Tang Yi frowned and glared at him. But he got so angry that the old doctor couldn't help but cough twice.
"Boy, don't cause trouble if you don't understand medical skills. I have prescribed medicine and let him take it, and I still have 30% chance of saving you."
Tang Yi chuckled: "Old sir, how do you see that I don't understand medical skills?"
"Do you still need to ask? If you don't even touch the pulse, how do you know the condition?"
"Hahaha, the four methods of looking, listening, asking and cutting do not necessarily require a pulse!"
The two of them got into trouble and Tang Xiucai coughed.
"Yi'er, if you really have a way, just save someone quickly." The implication is that if you can't, get out of here. After all, Tang Xiucai didn't believe that his son understood medical skills. Wu Tiancheng and Wang Shimao are both the same virtues and are not optimistic about Tang Yi.
Tang Yi was still twisted and thought for a while and said, "I'm saved Lei Qi. Cousin, go get some honey and pollen immediately, and mix it and take it for Lei Qi!"
"Honey? When it comes to nourishing, it's better to use ginseng!" Wang Shimao said with his head shook.
Tang Yi said unhappily: "Cousin, can you save people, or can I save people?"
What else can Mr. Wang say, "It's done, cousin, I'll listen to you."
Wang Shimao turned and left, Tang Yi called Wu Tiancheng over again and ordered: "Tiancheng, go to the street to buy dozens of barrels of strong liquor. The more intense the better the better, all of them will be delivered to your home."
"Master, do you want to drink?"
"You're just drinking it! I'm saving people!" Tang Yi said fiercely: "Remember, don't be afraid of how much money you spend. Then let Lei Qi go."
It's not yet saved, I just want to blackmail Lei Qi. Master, you are so good! Wu Tiancheng ran away and Tang Yi called his father over.
"Dad, what the child wants to make next can not only save Lei Qi, but also open up a source of wealth for our family. Go home immediately and prepare as I told you. You must remember that you must not let outsiders know."
The son was so serious that Tang Xiucai nodded quickly. Tang Yi said in his ear what the distilled liquor needed. Tang Xiucai went to prepare. As soon as he arrived at the door, he collided with Wang Shimao. Wang Shimao was holding a jar of honey, and a yamen runner came in with bee pollen behind him.
"Cousin, this is what I want from Lord Chen. Do you see enough?"
A jar of more than ten pounds is not enough!
"Let's go, not only Lei Qi, we can come some." Tang Yi smiled and took a spoon and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and fragrant, with the fragrance of flowers and plants. Needless to ask, it must be the best flower nectar.
Speaking of which, don’t look at the little bees, all the things produced are treasures. Honey can moisturize and nourish the body, pollen can beautify and nourish the skin, royal jelly is rich in nutrition, and propolis can even kill bacteria and preservatives. Legend has it that mummies use propolis as preservatives.
Tang Yi originally wanted to take propolis for Lei Qi, but propolis needed alcohol to dissolve, so he could only settle for the second best. He mixed honey and pollen together, added warm water, and knocked open Lei Qi's mouth.
After pouring it in a little, Lei Qi seemed to be stimulated by the sweet smell. He closed his eyes and swallowed constantly. After drinking three bowls in a row, his stomach made a rumbling sound. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the color on his face had improved a lot.
Wang Shimao widened his eyes exaggeratedly and roared: "Cousin, if you don't have a little honey, you'll save Lei Qi. This is too easy!"
"If you think it's easy, then come."
Wang Shimao laughed and said, "How can I have the nerve to steal your credit!"
Of course, it is not that simple to save people. Tang Yi sighed: "Lei Qi's body is weak, and honey and pollen have nourishing effects. It is easy to absorb and restore physical fitness. The most important thing is to be antibacterial and reduce infection. If you want to truly save him, it is still far from it!"
Wang Shimao listened in a daze, and Tang Yi had no intention of explaining. He bowed to the old doctor and said, "Old sir, you may not believe in the boy's methods, but please put the patient first. Take care of him. If you are hungry, feed him some honey. I will prepare some things and you will come here in a day or a half."
The old doctor had a dark face and nodded, "I will do it."
Tang Yi hurried back home. Wang Shimao followed him curiously and ran to the backyard in one breath. At this time, everything was ready, a number one iron pot, a few bamboo tubes, and a few wooden barrels of large and small.
Manager Zhu was sticking out his butt and leading his two sons to build the stove. It is important to save people, and Tang Yi didn't talk nonsense and took action immediately.
Distilled liquor is not complicated. Stick the iron pot and put it on a lid with a bamboo tube. The bamboo tube is bent to lead to a pair of sealed wooden barrels set together. The two wooden barrels are filled with cold water for cooling. Then use a bamboo tube to pass over the small wooden barrels to guide the cooled alcohol to flow out.
Manager Zhu was skillful and quickly prepared the device. With the help of the four members of the Zhu family, the stove caught fire in less than an hour, and the wine gradually boiled. Not long after, the clear wine slowly flowed out of the bamboo tube. Tang Yi hurriedly took a little and tasted it. Well, it looked almost thirty degrees.
"We still have to continue steaming!" Tang Yi was shining his head and sighing, but he didn't see that there were already a few pairs of blue eyes behind him.
They couldn't help but go crazy, and had never smelled such a strong smell of wine. Wang Shimao swallowed his saliva with difficulty and asked tentatively: "Cousin, can I taste it?"
Tang Yi was stunned, his eyes rolled, and he smiled generously: "I will do it."
Wang Shimao took the wine bowl, and the clear wine exuded an intoxicating fragrance. He couldn't wait to drink it, as if a ball of fire burned from his throat to his stomach. He swallowed it with a sip of wine, and his face turned red in an instant.
"Hao, Zhenhao..." The second young master Wang's tongue was no longer straightforward.
Wu Tiancheng took a bowl, gave it to Tang Xiucai with a smile, and then took half a bowl himself, holding the clear and fragrant wine, as if it was nectar. Wu Tiancheng used to be a drunkard, but he couldn't afford to drink it, so he finally could drink enough this time. After a while, he lay straight on the ground.
At this time, Tang Xiucai held the wall and moved into the house with difficulty, and did not forget to instruct Tang Yi with his tongue.
"Son, let me leave more for dad, leave some!"
Seeing them drinking happily, Manager Zhu also started drinking at the time. He had a good alcohol tolerance, but after two bowls, he also lay down next to the stove to meet Mr. Zhou.
Facing the drunkard all over the floor, Tang Yi's face turned blue.
That's right, this is something to save people!
Tang Yi seemed to be a wild beast that had been hungry for ten days, staring at the Zhu brothers fiercely.
"Before the alcohol is steamed, if you dare to take a sip, I will let you die of drunkenness!"
