Gu Qingzhou uses lard and willow bark in the kitchen and adds water to cook slowly to boil the willow bark.
Since the Late Jin Dynasty, traditional Chinese medicine has used lard to boil willow bark to treat scalds.
Scald not only damages the skin and flesh, but also leads to heat poison entering the viscera and body fluid damage, resulting in the degradation of self-defense function.
Lard has the function of detoxifying heat, while willow bark can reduce fever and swelling, which are aimed at the heat toxicity of scalded surface.
Gu Qingzhou knew that later, there were many scalding creams with good results, but her master insisted on boiling willow bark with lard.
The master said, "the simpler things are, the more effective they are after years of experience and haven't been abandoned. Treating diseases is not fancy, nor more expensive and complex than your own medicine. Practicing medicine is like using soldiers. It's important to be refined rather than more."
The simple lard willow skin paste invented in the later Jin Dynasty continues to this day, and Gu Qingzhou still needs to use it.
On her side, she seems to be boiling ointment, but her heart is in the rough waves.
"Angong Niuhuang Pill is the best medicine to reduce fever. Generally, the medicine shop doesn't know the prescription, but the natural bezoar and rhinoceros horn are extremely expensive. Yuecheng can't buy it and has to make it by himself. However, can natural bezoar be bought?" Gu Qingzhou was anxious.
She thought about medicinal materials: "western medicine works better. Unfortunately, it is always in short supply, because there is no pharmaceutical factory in Yuecheng."
Gu Qingzhou wants Si Mu to come forward and ask Yuecheng city hall to discuss whether western medicine can be improved.
"... a slight high fever will never go away without medicine. If it keeps high fever, the burned part may bleed heavily tomorrow. Once it bleeds heavily, 50% of the chance of survival will become 20%!" Gu Qingzhou thought again.
These things hovered in her heart.
It was so exciting that she looked expressionless.
The cooks didn't know what she was going to do, so they didn't dare to approach from a distance.
Lard boils bark. It's definitely not for food. But what's the matter?
Cooks often use lard and willow bark. They never think it can be used as medicine.
"Little madam, little madam!" In the hall not far away, there was an anxious but happy voice of the adjutant.
Gu Qingzhou was delighted.
This is good news!
"Young lady, Mrs. Yan is coming." Deputy official.
Gu Qingzhou called the cook and said to her, "continue to add water until the willow bark is boiled, and then filter the bark residue. Let the adjutant immediately take it to the hospital, give it to shopkeeper he and ask her to apply it to He Wei. Do you understand?"
In a few simple words, the cook remembered this little thing and said immediately, "don't worry, young lady, I remember it all."
At the same time, I thought, "what can I do if I send it to the hospital?"
The cook's doubts didn't show up. She quietly took over the work in Gu Qingzhou's hand.
Gu Qingzhou just came from the kitchen, holding a big umbrella. The wind and rain swayed and wet her skirt.
Mrs. Yan is wearing a raincoat, her face is full of rain, and she is holding a small box in her hand.
"I heard that you sent adjutants to look for natural bezoar and rhinoceros horn everywhere. This kind of thing doesn't exist at all now, except for ancestral ones. When I got married, my family had some medicinal materials. The bezoar and rhinoceros horn were much more expensive than gold at that time. My mother gave me two liang each. Do you think you can use them?" Mrs. Yan handed her the things.
Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed and hurried over: "Mom, I thank you for He Wei. You saved her life!"
Again, "it's enough!"
"He Wei?" Mrs. Yan was stunned. "What's the matter with her?"
The adjutant went to find the medicine, but he didn't know what it was for.
Mrs. Yan naturally didn't know.
Gu Qingzhou told her about it.
Mrs. Yan was also surprised: "what a pity!"
He urged Gu Qingzhou, "then go quickly and don't delay!"
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
He's herbal hall doesn't have any medicine in his home, but it has everything.
After getting the most precious bezoar and rhinoceros horn, Gu Qingzhou immediately started to prepare Angong Bezoar Pill.
She took several adjutants with her and sent two adjutants to stay in the hospital.
"Call him once in half an hour and ask him about He Wei." Gu Qingzhou said to his adjutant.
The Deputy official is.
Gu Qingzhou had to wait to prepare medicine, so he came out once an hour.
"Miss he has a high fever of 40 degrees."
"The burn hasn't subsided yet. The burned surface is seeping yellow water."
Another hour passed.
"Young lady, the medicine you brewed was sent to the hospital. Dr. Wang didn't use it. He almost smashed the jar and said that the ointment was too dirty and unsanitary and would kill miss he."
Dr. Wang's name is Wang Qi. He is a student of Dr. AI. He is also a doctor of He Wei.
At night, Dr. AI wants to rest. He is too old to stay up late. Wang Qi will be responsible for ward rounds.
"Shopkeeper he almost fought with Dr. Wang."
"Huo Longtou was present. He asked someone to invite Dr. Wang away and asked our adjutant how to take medicine, so he put it on Miss He."
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
After looking at the time, it's already ten o'clock in the evening.
Gu Qingzhou's Angong Niuhuang Pill can be cured in more than an hour.
So she wrote another prescription and handed it to the adjutant: "let the boy fill the medicine and decoct the medicine. Don't cut off the fire of the medicine stove. Wait until I'm busy. It can't be too cold when I'm sent to the hospital."
If the medicine soup is too cold, the effect will be greatly reduced.
The adjutant looked at the prescription and wrote a long list. What are there: Dendrobium candidum, Gardenia jasminoides, fresh grass root, Coptis chinensis
It's too late to look down. The adjutant took the prescription and gave it to the boy.
Everyone is in a hurry.
At 11 pm, Gu Qingzhou finally succeeded in making two Angong Niuhuang pills.
As Dr. AI said, Chinese doctors know that Angong Bezoar Pill is a secret medicine, which is not available in ordinary medicine shops, and the effect of artificial bezoar is not very good. They have to use the most natural bezoar.
However, natural bezoar, which has a price but no market, depends on luck.
"He Wei has good luck!" Gu Qingzhou said to herself, "if she experiences such hardships before going abroad, she will have a blessing in the future."
When finished, wrap it carefully. Gu Qingzhou took the medicine with him. The adjutants also packed the boiled medicine soup in large jars and wrapped the outer layer with cotton cloth to prevent the medicine soup from cooling.
Drove to the hospital.
The road was still stormy, and many trees were cut off, blocking the road.
The car was in great danger before it got to the hospital.
By this time, it was already early morning.
He mengde and his wife sat in the next chair, while Huo Yue sat at the head of He Wei's bed and kept holding her hand.
He Wei woke up three times in the middle, each time with a heart rending pain, and then fell into a coma due to the pain.
"Canoe." Huo Yue raised his eyes and looked at the boat. His voice was very hoarse.
He stayed with He Wei for five hours and didn't drink a mouthful of water. No matter how strong a man is, he shows a bit of irrecoverable fatigue.
"How?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
