The operation was over, and it was noon the next day. The tired Chu Chu did not rest, but his eyes were brightly looking at the Mandala medicinal powder.

: "I didn't expect that the anesthetic effect of Mandala is no worse than that of anesthetics!"

The effect of mandala made Chu Chu overjoyed. He secretly blamed himself for having won the good things left by his ancestors after he was a senior Western medicine practitioner. The whole mountain was covered with herbs, but he turned a blind eye to him, but he still begged his father to seek medicine everywhere!

But we can't blame Chu Chu for this. She learned Western medicine from the beginning. If you talk about amoxicillin, norfloxacin, etc., she will immediately know what medicine it is, what disease it is, and how much it should be taken every day. However, she has no contact with traditional Chinese medicine, let alone know about herbs! I didn't expect that it was normal.

Zhang Ziyan, who was drinking tea, looked at Chu Chu speechlessly: "Mandala is a good or not, and it was used much earlier than Western anesthetics. When Hua Tuo discovered the effect of mandala in ancient times, after research, combined with Xiangbaizhi, Chuanqiong, Tiannanxing, Shengcaowu, etc., Mafei Tang was used to take it before the surgery. The effect was excellent. Until now, since many people began to choose hospitals for surgery, Chinese medicine began to decline gradually, and Chinese medicine almost did not perform surgery and other operations, so Mafei Tang was no longer used, but it does not mean that its effect is not as good as Western anesthetics. We now use improved anesthetic powder for the wounds. Sprinkle it directly on the wound for a while and will produce anesthetic effect. Unlike Mafei Tang, you have to drink it."

Chu Chu looked at Zhang Ziyan in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to know a lot. Have you learned it specifically?"

Zhang Ziyan smiled and said, "Do you still need to learn this kind of thing? All three-year-olds understand it."

:Does three-year-olds understand?

Chu Chu glanced at Zhang Ziyan with annoyance, thinking what do you mean? Are you saying that I am not even as good as a three-year-old child!

When Zhang Ziyan saw Chu Chu's eyes, he knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained with a smile: "Political Commissar Chu, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that we have been injured since childhood and are treated with these herbs, so it is normal to be able to recognize them. And you are a person living in a big city and have always learned Western medicine knowledge. You have never been exposed to these Chinese herbs, so it is understandable if you don't recognize them."

: "I now find that I seem to have studied the wrong subject. If I had studied traditional Chinese medicine at the beginning, it would have been easier to treat these wounded people now."

Zhang Ziyan shook his head and did not agree with Chu Chu's statement: "Everything is not absolute. You should be restricted by conditions and have such thoughts. In fact, whether it is Chinese medicine or Western medicine, their ultimate goal is to cure diseases and save people. As long as people can be cured, it is a good medicine. You see, you are using Western medicine methods and the efficacy of Chinese and herbal medicines. This combination of Chinese and Western medicine will not have a good effect."

Chu Chu nodded and said, "I know this truth, but what we lack the most now is medicine. Many of our Eighth Route Army soldiers were injured on the battlefield, but they were sacrificed because there was no shortage of medicine that could not be treated in time. If we could know how to use these Chinese medicines to save people at that time, we would not have to watch those soldiers die in pain one by one, they would be still young!"

As Chu Chu said, his eyes began to turn red.

: "It's not your fault to calm down. At least we are not short of medicine now. You see, you have saved so many people today, and everyone regards you as Guanyin who saves the suffering. You should be happy."

Chu Chu smiled and said, "Thank you for your comfort. As a doctor, I hope that every wounded or patient I treat can recover as before. Now, it is really difficult. I really hope that I am Guanyin Bodhisattva, so that I can save everyone and no longer watch the fresh lives disappear from my eyes, but I can do nothing."

: "I didn't expect that our female political commissar of the Eighth Route Army would be a sentimental person, which would be beyond my expectations!"

Chu Chu gave Zhang Ziyan a blank look: "I respect life, and I am our own people or only treat good people. If it is an enemy, no matter how many deaths the other party dies, I will not pay attention to it."

After a pause, Chu Chu asked Zhang Ziyan: "Do you have any books to lend me a book about traditional Chinese medicine?"

Zhang Ziyan shook his head and said, "I don't have it, but the barefoot doctor should have a shot of hole."

: "Kong Yijian? Could this person know how to acupuncture and it works in one shot?" Chu Chu asked curiously.

Zhang Ziyan said funny: "When you hear him call Kong Yijian, you think that he will treat people with a needle. If he is called Kong Banxian, wouldn't he really become an immortal?"

Chu Chu said in even more puzzledly: "Since that's the case, why did he call this name? Isn't it because of his superb medical skills?"

: "Although Kong Yijian is a little Chinese medicine, it has nothing to do with his name. In the past, there was a custom in rural areas that after his child was born, his parents walked forward and the first thing he encountered would give his children a name according to this thing. But when he heard that Kong Yijian's father had just crossed the threshold, he saw a large needle lying in the middle of the road and shining in the sun. At that time, the superstitious Kong Yijian's father was very happy. He thought that this needle would bring blessings to his family and allow his son to carry forward the Kong family in the future, so he gave Kong Yijian a very embarrassing name."

: "This is OK?" Chu Chu was speechless. She thought that a person's name was the label of her life. Every parent quoted the scriptures and thought hard. There was no such casual name as Kong Yijian. This was beyond Chu Chu's expectation.

Zhang Ziyan smiled and said, "The countryside is not like you urban people. Most of them don't care about this. Instead, they think names like A Cat and A Dog will be better supported. Okay, after being busy for so long, you go back and rest first. When you have time, I'll take you to borrow a book from Kong Yijian."

: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading books. It is good to have books, but if you have time, you will take me up the mountain to identify some Chinese herbal medicines on the spot. Theory and practice will be better! I wonder if you would like it or not?"

Zhang Ziyan paused: "Oh! Actually, it's nothing. If you are not afraid of hardship, I'm fine. If you want to go one day, just look for me. However, I'm afraid that you won't stay here for too long. You should know that learning to identify Chinese medicinal materials cannot be learned in a day or two. I'm afraid that your team will have already left before you can learn it."

Chu Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't leave for the time being. We are here to help you fight against the troops in Luliang City, and to establish a revolutionary base here for you to resist the upcoming Japanese army. Now, Battalion Commander Sun Guoqiang has already negotiated with several patriarchs. So, I should have enough time to learn and identify Chinese medicinal materials."

Zhang Ziyan sighed inwardly: I didn’t expect that this woman would be so persistent in learning things. With her lazy personality, I’m afraid she will have to calm down for some time in the future!
