Chapter forty-ninth medical saint
Ma Zhou was not the first person to be moved to tears by Liu Jing. Before him, there were his clan brother Liu Liang and the dwarf slave Tao Guan.
Liu Jing could only lament that the Han Dynasty was not far away from ancient times, and people's minds were still very simple. He deliberately teased: "Zi Jin, you are a great husband who shocked the city of Linxiang, how can you behave like a daughter? If someone sees you
, isn’t that going to make your eyes pop out in shock?”
"I made Liu Jun laugh." Ma Zhou hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "After I tied up my hair, I never shed tears again. Today, I felt Liu Jun's deep love and righteousness, so I shed tears."
Liu Jing asked in a harmonious voice: "From your accent, it seems that you are not from Linxiang."
Ma Zhou replied: "Liu Jun's guess is correct. I am from Leiyang County, Guiyang County. I came to Changsha just a few months ago."
Liu Jing smiled and said: "Leiyang is a good place. It produces paper and iron. It is quite wealthy."
"Exactly," Ma Zhou nodded and said, "I am coming out of the Autonomous Iron House."
"Then why did you come to Changsha?" Liu Jing pretended not to know that Ma Zhou was on the run and tested him with words to see if he would tell him the truth.
Ma Zhou didn't know that his true identity had been exposed long ago. He hesitated several times in his heart, but finally told the truth: "To be honest with you, Liu Jun, something happened in my hometown and I fled here."
Liu Jing was very satisfied with Ma Zhou's honesty in his heart, but said seriously on his face: "A true man should do something and not do something! If Zi Jin is wanted by the government for bullying the good and overpowering the weak, I will never protect him.
Instead, I will arrest you and escort you back to Leiyang."
When Ma Zhou heard this, he immediately became excited and said: "In Liu Jun's eyes, am I, Ma Zhou, a cowardly rat who oppresses the younger ones? The reason why I am wanted by the county is because I offended a powerful man in Leiyang.
He took advantage of the power in his hands to force him to leave his hometown and go to Changsha. With this hatred of being framed and the hatred of death, when he returns to his hometown the next day, he will definitely behead this person with his own hands!"
In the custom of the Han Dynasty, it was not a big deal for a ranger to kill a lot of people, but Liu Jingzhi was different from the ancients. Knowing that Ma Zhou was not a murderer, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and advised:
"In the past, Huaiyin suffered humiliation from the crotch, but in the future, he became successful and famous, and he did not kill people to vent his anger. What's more, in my opinion, it is not a bad thing for Zijing to leave his hometown. Leiyang, a remote and small county, even if it is famous as a county, is just a frog in the well.
Linxiang is the county seat of Changsha and the center of the four counties of Jingnan. With Zijin's ability, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to make great achievements in the future?"
Liu Jing suggested that he give up revenge. Ma Zhou was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't say it directly. Throughout the ages, how many people have been as generous as Han Xin? Anyway, he couldn't do it.
It had been some time since he was injured, and due to the loose bandage and excessive blood loss, Ma Zhou's face became increasingly pale, accompanied by bouts of dizziness.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before the city officials Liu Jing sent to the doctor returned with the doctor.
This doctor is about forty years old, seven feet tall, with a thin face, sparse eyebrows and bright eyes, a neat beard, wearing a large official uniform, and carrying a bamboo medicine box.
Through the introduction, Liu Jing learned that the visitor was not an ordinary medical official, but a medical official. The medical official was indifferent, which meant that he was the chief official of the medical officer.
What shocked Liu Jing even more was that his surname was Zhang Mingji and his given name was Zhongjing.
Medical Saint???
He has the same name, the same surname, and the same prefix, and he is also a doctor. There is no such coincidence in the world. There is no doubt that this person is a "medical sage".
Liu Jing didn't know much about Zhang Zhongjing's life story. He didn't know whether the latter had ever been a medical doctor in Changsha. He only vaguely remembered that Zhang Zhongjing seemed to have been a prefect of Changsha.
The city official secretly told him that Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, were brothers of the same clan.
Liu Jing suddenly understood, and immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you very much for Zhang Shi coming in person."
"Liu Shi, you're welcome." Zhang Zhongjing nodded gently.
It stands to reason that such a trivial matter would not involve him, the chief medical officer, in person. He could just send a medical official who knows about gold sores. However, Zhang Zhongjing heard that the person who asked for the doctor was "Liu Zhongda" who has become famous in Changsha recently.
, I had some free time, so I came over in person.
Zhang Zhongjing has a benevolent heart as a doctor. As soon as he saw the injured Ma Zhou, he immediately forgot about Liu Jing. He gently removed the blood-soaked cloth. It was half a foot long, with the skin and flesh turned out, almost covering it.
The hideous wound on the entire forearm was exposed to everyone.
Zhang Zhongjing had rich experience and said at a glance: "This wound is everted and the bleeding is not stopping. If you simply wrap it with gold sore medicine, the recovery will be slow. I suggest you suture the wound with needles and threads. It will be cured within a month."
After obtaining Ma Zhou's consent, Zhang Zhongjing opened the bamboo box, took out the needle and thread, and advised the former to drink more alcohol, because alcohol can numb the spirit and relieve pain.
Liu Jing was curious. He didn't expect that the Han Dynasty already knew how to suture wounds with needles and threads. But it was normal to think about it. You must know that Hua Tuo even dared to gouge the patient's head, so he must have a way to suture.
There was nothing unusual about the iron needle, but it was a thread, which was different from what he usually saw. Liu Jing asked curiously: "May I ask Zhang Shi, what is this thread made of?"
Zhang Zhongjing replied while threading the needle: "This is a thread made by kneading and twisting the bark of new mulberry trees. It is the most perfect thread for suturing wounds. In addition, the sap of new mulberry trees is used to smear the wounds to heal faster."
Then he took out "pieces", something like chopsticks, and asked Ma Zhou to bite them in his mouth.
Although Ma Zhou's face was frighteningly white, his mouth was very tough: "Are you afraid that I can't help but cry out in pain? It's just suturing the wound, even if it's to dig out the heart and liver, there's no need for it."
Zhang Zhongjing secretly shook his head. He had seen many people like this. Each one was more harsh than the last beforehand. In the end, 99% of them couldn't bear the pain. Why bother to ask Han Mei?
Seeing that the needles in Zhang Zhongjing's hands were far from clean, Liu Jing hurriedly ordered an official to light the oil lamp and suggested: "Zhang Shi might as well use a fire to roast the needles before he sews."
"Why roast it with fire?" Zhang Zhongjing frowned slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face.
That is to say, Liu Jing was born in the Guan clan and had a great reputation. If anyone else dared to "point fingers" in front of him, he would definitely walk away. He has been practicing medicine for decades, does he still need the guidance of a layman?
"I see that this needle is not very clean, and fire can remove the dirt." Liu Jing knew that he had violated the other party's taboo, so he closed his mouth and said no more.
Fire needles have been around for a long time, and are mostly used for acupuncture. The decontamination effect mentioned by Liu Jing has never been proposed by predecessors. But Zhang Zhongjing is very doubtful about the effect of this. After all, Liu Jing has never heard of medical skills. Even if he does, a
How can a dissatisfied young man with weak medical skills get any better?
In the end, Zhang Zhongjing did not refute Liu Jing's reputation, since baking needles didn't take much effort anyway.
When it comes to the treatment of trauma, Hua Tuo is naturally the one who is hailed as the originator of surgery by later generations. Zhang Zhongjing, whose "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" has been passed down through the ages, is not famous for treating trauma. However, Liu Jing saw that his suturing techniques were extremely skillful, and three
Divide five by two and the wound is sutured.
