Chapter 96： Special medicine

Ying Bao and Chun Niang walked into the courtyard of Patriarch Chen’s house and were shocked by the sight before them.

The yard was filled with smoke, and there were two five or six-year-old children dancing in front of the incense table.

Both of them were wearing five-color ribbons, holding colorful rope whips and safety fans, and copper bells were tied to their wrists and ankles, which made a ringing sound when they jumped.

This is a witch doctor?

An old woman wearing a feather crown came over and started dancing around Yingbao.

Chun Niang’s face darkened, she immediately picked up her daughter and turned to ask Patriarch Chen: “Uncle Chen, what do you mean?”

 Chen Fu touched his nose in embarrassment and did not dare to tell the truth. He only said to Song Shenpo: "Ying Bao wants to go inside to check on my son's condition. Get out of the way."

Song Shenpo understood and immediately twisted her body and stepped aside.

Chen Fu said to Chun Niang again: "The goddess is doing the magic. Let's go to the house first."

Chunniang saw the goddess ducking aside, so she walked into the house with her daughter in her arms.

The house can still smell a strong smell of incense and candles, as well as a faint rotten stench.

Chunniang frowned and put her down at the girl's signal.

Yingbao walked to the kang and stood on tiptoes to look at the patient.

Seeing that he couldn't see anything, he asked Chen Fu to bring a chair and stood on the chair to lift the quilt.

A fishy smell hit my face.

This Chen Zhu is not wearing trousers, only a crotch bag.

Chunniang gave a low cry and was about to take her daughter away.

Ying Bao waved his hand and said to Chun Niang: "It's okay. Doctors do not distinguish between men and women. Mom, please go out first and I will take a look at the patient's injuries."

Since she is studying medicine, she will inevitably have to deal with the human body in the future. She may have to dissect corpses and examine internal organs. If she can't even see a man's body, then her dream of being a miracle doctor will really become a dream.

Chunniang had no choice but to leave the house and stand guard at the door.

Ying Bao inspected the wound on Chen Zhu’s leg and saw that there was a lot of black ointment on the injured area, so she suggested that Chen Fu on the side wash the ointment off.

Chen Fu immediately asked his fourth wife to bring hot water to clean his son's injuries.

“Is there any strong liquor?” Yingbao asked.

Mrs. Wen said that for trauma, the affected area needs to be cleaned with strong alcohol to kill the bacteria and poison, and then apply medicine to get twice the result with half the effort.

Chen Fu shook his head, "There is no strong alcohol."

He has only heard of strong liquor, but has never seen it.

In a country like theirs, not to mention strong liquor, even rice grains are not common.

"Then let it cool down with boiling water and then clean it. The cloth must also be boiled and dried." Ying Bao ordered seriously.

Shao Shi did not hesitate and immediately did as Ying Bao said.

Then Ying Bao felt Chen Zhu's pulse and pulled his eyelids to check his pupils.

Mrs. Wen said that as long as the patient's pupils are dilated, the patient will most likely not survive.

Yingbao has never seen anyone with dilated pupils, but today she finally encountered one.

 Chen Zhu’s pupils are really dilated, which is indeed different from the normal people’s pupils that can expand and contract freely.

Ying Bao took out a pill from the small bag. Considering that Chen Zhu could not swallow solid food, she asked Chen Fu to get a bowl and pour some tea into it.

Crush the pills and dissolve them into the tea, and let Chen Fu feed his son to drink it.

After a while, Mr. Shao brought hot water to clean her husband’s wound, while Ying Bao stood on the chair and watched.

The wound on the thigh was hideous, with a hole in it, which looked very scary.

Shao sobbed while washing, his tears dripping into the basin.

Yingbao really wanted to tell her not to shed her tears. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a little boy with narrow phoenix eyes looking up at him, his eyes dark.

He is Xiaoyao, the son of Chen Zhu.

Yingbao sat down and waved to the little demon.

The little demon hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward.

Ying Bao took out a cooked water chestnut from her bag and handed it to him: "Here you go."

The little demon took it and looked at it, but didn't eat it.

“The wound has been cleaned.” Shao said softly.

Yingbao nodded and asked Shao to get a basin of clean water for later use. He took out a sharp knife from his bag.

This knife was used by her to harvest golden ears, and she used it to cut Chen Zhu's wound today.

Shao's expression changed when he saw Ying Bao take out a knife, and then he heard the girl say again: "Bring the candle lantern."

Shao followed the instructions and brought candles and lanterns.

Yingbao put the lamp aside, urged Shao to prepare hot water, jumped on the kang, and cut Chen Zhu's wound.

 Chen Fu was stunned when he saw it, but this little fairy boy was invited by himself, so even if he had too many doubts, he did not dare to say anything at this time.

Yingbao pressed the area around the wound. Seeing Chen Zhu twitching, she quickly ordered Chen Fu: "Grandpa Chen, ask a few people to come in and hold him down. Don't let him move."

Chen Fu hurried to the door and called for his eldest son and grandson.

The three of them pressed Chen Zhu down, and Shao also brought water and two ironed cloth towels.

Ying Bao washed her hands with water, washed the knife, and burned it back and forth on the candle for a while.

When the knife was cold, Ying Bao squatted beside Chen Zhu's leg and incised his wound a little bit, releasing a stream of smelly pus and blood.

Chen Zhu was woken up by the pain and his legs moved wildly. Fortunately, Chen Fu and others were able to hold him down.

Ying Bao endured the discomfort and made two more cuts around the wound, releasing more pus and blood.

When you see that the pus and blood are almost flowing out, wipe it with a clean cloth and apply the ointment you brought.

This ointment contains not only Wuding Zhi, but also skullcap, honeysuckle, Dan Shen and Sangui powder.

These medicinal materials were all bought from the drugstore in the town, just to deal with sudden trauma in the future.

Since Yingbao read Shennong's Herbal Classic and the Folk Herbal Classic given by Sister Wen, she planned to prepare more medicinal materials in the cave and prepare various ointments and pills together with Wudingzhi in case of emergency needs.

Because there will be no peace in the future, the imperial court will continue to recruit troops to go to various places to quell rebellions, and some of her relatives may be recruited away one day, so she has to develop more special wound medicines.

Today is the first time she has prepared this wound medicine. She just gave it to Chen Zhu to try it to see how it works.

After applying the medicine, Yingbao jumped off the kang, took out a few more pills and handed them to Shao: "Give him two pills every two hours, wrap the wound with a clean cloth, and tie it well so as not to rub the ointment off. I will do it tomorrow." Let’s see again.”

Shao nodded repeatedly.

Yingbao looked at Patriarch Chen and said, "Grandpa Chen, you have to give me the money for the medicine this time. The medical fee is not included, but the pills and ointments are very expensive."

Chen Fu was not surprised and asked: "How much is the total?"

“Five taels of silver,” Ying Bao said.

Chen Fu was stunned, so he went to his room and took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to Ying Bao.

Ying Bao picked up the silver and ran out of the house. Chun Niang quickly picked up her daughter and walked out.

What Goddess Song wanted to say was interrupted mercilessly by Chen Fu: "Yingbao has already given Zhu'er the medicine, and she said she would come and have a look tomorrow. Goddess, I'll let Dalang give it to me now. I still have to arrange some things, so I won’t send the goddess off.”

Song Shenpo secretly rolled her eyes, said nothing, and immediately asked her grandchildren to pack their things and prepare to go home.

snort! Do you really think that little kid is a fairy boy? I just said that on purpose.

 Chen Zhu will die tomorrow, and with Ying Bao'er in charge, no one else will be able to blame her, Mrs. Song, no matter how much they say.
