Chapter 249 - Bloodletting

(Not Edited)

It was snowing heavily again on this day. The snow from the previous days had not melted completely, and new snow was coming soon.

Originally, Gulan thought the weather conditions were pretty good these days, with the sun shining brightly, so he thought about going to the fields and the mountains to take a look.

It has been almost a month since she moved into the new house. At first, she was busy with the household affairs, then she bought a new guest, and then it snowed and she was afraid of the cold and really didn't want to go out.

But after continuous treatment, Gulan felt better, and the snow melted a lot, so he came up with this idea.

To be honest, I really should go and check it out. I can't possibly not even know the exact address of my fields.

But he didn't expect that just as he started to think about it, another heavy snow came unexpectedly. Looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky and swirling down, Gulan could only continue to stay at home.

No one would go out in weather like this without any particular reason.

However, just as Gulan and his son had just finished their breakfast and were digesting the food in the yard in the snow, there was a knock on the door of the house.

The knocking on the door was rather urgent, as if something had happened, and was accompanied by a man's shouting.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gulan took his son and followed Butler Jin to the gate.

"Who is it?" asked Butler Jin.

"It's me, Li Youzhi, I'm looking for Master Gu." One could clearly hear the anxiety in his voice.

"Open the door"

As Gu Lan finished speaking, the door opened, revealing Li Youzhi's anxious face.

"What happened?" Gulan frowned.

"Master Gu, do you know some medical skills?" Li Youzhi asked hurriedly.

During the days on Tongshan Road, he learned from the guards that it was Master Gu who saved their young lady, which led to this question.

There was no other way. The elder of the Yong tribe suddenly fell ill, and it was snowing heavily. There was a thick layer of snow on the road, making it difficult for the carriage to pass.

Relying on manpower would be too time-consuming. You know, it takes a moment to drive a horse-drawn carriage. You can imagine how fast it would be if you only relied on two legs when the ground is covered with snow.

Now that the person is in a coma and has a high fever, I am afraid that he may not make it to the clinic, so I can only go to Master Gu to ask for help first.

"Why do you ask?"

"Master Gu, he's an elder of the Yong tribe. He was fine last night, but this morning he suddenly had a high fever for some reason and is now in a coma."

"Why don't you send him to the hospital right away?"

"Master Gu, I will tell you the details on the way. If you know how to do it, please come with me." Li Youzhi said anxiously.

Gulan frowned. Although he had read several medical books these days and basically memorized everything, and tried it on himself and his son, he really had no confidence in treating other people.

But seeing how anxious Li Youzhi was, I really couldn't not go. I had to see him first to know the specific situation.

"Okay, wait for me."

After saying this, he led his son back to the room quickly and gave him some instructions. In short, he told his son to study and practice calligraphy well in the room. He also told Jinbao and Jindan to look after the young master before returning to his room.

After thinking about it, he took out a fever-reducing pill from the space, ground it into powder, and a bowl of soju, then hurriedly followed Li Youzhi to Yong Zulao's house.

As they walked, Li Youzhi told Gulan the reason.

The main reason was that the disease came too suddenly and fiercely, and the elder of the Yong tribe was too old. If he stayed in the city for too long, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, so he had to think of Gulan.

"I only know a little bit and can't guarantee anything." No matter what, Gulan still had to say it out loud.

"Master Gu, don't worry. I will tell Uncle Shun about this."

Li Shun is the eldest son of the clan elder, ten years older than Li Youzhi.

"Hmm" As they spoke, the two of them quickened their pace.

The Yong tribe's hometown is located in the front part of Lijia Village. The road was slippery due to the snow, so even though we increased our speed, it still took us nearly half a cup of tea to get there.

Seeing Master Gu coming, the family members of the Yong clan elder all rushed over as if they saw hope.

"Master Gu, you must save my father." As he said this, his knees went weak and before he could kneel down, Gulan grabbed him and lifted him up.

"I'm not an expert in medicine, I can only try my best." Gulan looked at Li Youzhi, who quickly grabbed Li Shun.

Village chief Li also came out after hearing the beautiful news. When he saw Gulan, his eyes lit up and he quickly pulled him to the inner room. The others followed quickly.

As soon as he entered, Gulan saw an old man who looked gloomy and tired sleeping on the bed, covered with one quilt after another. His face, full of traces of time, revealed an unusual hint of redness, and it was obvious that he had been badly burned.

At this moment, the person knew nothing and lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

Gulan looked at the quilts on the elders, and the first thing he did when he stepped forward was to pull open all the quilts, even the elders' undershirt.

"Master Gu, what are you doing? My father has a high fever, how can you pull the quilt away? It's so cold, won't it get worse?" Li Li didn't care about respecting Master Gu at this moment and couldn't help but say that if the village chief hadn't quickly grabbed him, he would have stepped forward to cover his father.

"If you understand, then come here." Gulan turned sideways and looked at Li Li indifferently.

Li Li was choked suddenly. If he knew how to treat a disease, why would he be so anxious at home?

Then Gulan sat on the high bench in front of the bed, took the hand of the Yong elder, and tried to take his pulse.

He remembered the theory and tried it on his son and himself, but Yong Zulao was the first real patient.

As soon as he touched it, he felt the pulse beating rapidly and forcefully. It was too fast and too strong, which was not good for an old man of the Yong clan at this age.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is a rapid pulse caused by fever. Not only the pulse will accelerate, but the heart rate will also increase, causing increased burden on the heart. For an elder of the Yong tribe at this age, it is indeed very dangerous if not treated in time. If you are not careful, he may never wake up.

Next, after a series of examinations, especially listening carefully to the chest for a while, it was found that the heart rate was indeed too fast.

It did match what she had learned from medical books.

The current situation requires immediate cooling down. Only when the temperature drops can the body's functions slowly recover.

"Do you have a needle?" Gulan looked at the elders of the clan.

"Yes, yes, yes," Li Shun's wife said quickly and ran out in a hurry.

"Uncle Li Shun, Uncle Li Li, both of you come here."

The two brothers who were called hurried forward.

Gulan handed them the wine he brought with him and said, "Wipe your chest, back, armpits, and limbs. Remember to wipe for about one-third of a cup of tea each time."

This time, neither of the two brothers raised any objections. They followed Master Gu's instructions, one climbed onto the bed and the other stood beside the bed, pulled open their father's clothes, and began to wipe them with wine.

At the same time, Li Shun's wife took the needle. There was no other problem with it except that it was a little thick.

Gulan looked around the room, fixed his eyes on the oil lamp on the table, lit the burning needles in one go, then came to the bedside, grabbed the ten fingers of the Yong elder and began to bleed him.

It pierced through fiercely, scaring the people in the room so much that they squinted their eyes.

I saw that every finger was pierced and blood was squeezed out, but the blood was a little black in color.

Gulan squeezed each of his fingers hard a few times until the color of the blood gradually turned red and was no longer the dark black color at the beginning.

Gulan glanced at the dark bloodstains on the ground. It was obvious that the blood flow was poor due to high fever.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, bloodletting has the effects of reducing fever, expelling toxins, refreshing the brain, calming the liver and calming wind.

The Yong elder fainted because of the high fever that caused blood and qi to stagnate, and the increased intracranial pressure caused him to lose consciousness. Bloodletting can help speed up blood circulation in the body, thereby unblocking the blocked parts and reducing brain pressure. (Please do not take it personally)
