After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 461: Earth Remedy
The other car was a jeep off-road vehicle, which looked very new. Unfortunately, the right rear wheel was stuck on a rock on the cliff and had a flat tire. Even the wheel hub was a little deformed, which was quite serious.
Not to mention that the car can't be driven up, the current tire is no longer suitable for the journey. Even if the car can be driven up, changing the spare tire will be a hassle and will waste time.
The woman did not stay at her car, but walked straight to the corner not far in front of the car, squatted down and said: "Dad, someone is here to help, don't worry, there will be a solution soon."
This place happened to be a protruding rock. Xu Boan walked forward two steps and saw a man lying there, leaning against the hillside.
The man's face is relatively square, with clear jaw lines, giving people an impression of firmness and courage.
But at this moment, there was a hint of fatigue and pain in his expression, and a few drops of crystal sweat hung on his forehead and cheeks, sparkling in the sunlight.
There was a lot of mud on his jacket. He held his stomach tightly with one hand. His facial muscles were tense, and he was obviously gritting his teeth.
Seeing this man's condition, Xu Bo'an immediately frowned.
The woman stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and said to Xu Bo'an who was walking over, "Please give me a hand, let's push the car down."
Xu Boan shook his head and said, "No need!"
The woman was stunned, thinking that Xu Bo'an was unwilling to help, and immediately said anxiously: "Why? How can we know if we don't try? This car looks big. As long as we work together, it may not be impossible to push it down."
Xu Bo'an shook his head and said, "Even if we push this car down and drive my car to the hospital, your father may not be able to withstand the bumps on the mountain road in his current condition."
The woman was about to speak when her father interrupted her softly, "Yes, this young man is absolutely right. I feel unbearable pain every time I move. The mountain road is rugged and bumpy. If I drive all the way down, I'm afraid I'll be in excruciating pain!"
The woman became even more flustered upon hearing this, and immediately asked in a crying voice: "What should I do? What should I do!"
The woman's father suggested a plan: "How about this, you find a way to get down the mountain first, call the hospital, and arrange for an ambulance to come up. If it's really hard to go, find two doctors who can perform surgery and help me remove the iron skewer here."
The woman nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, Dad. I'll find a way right away."
As she spoke, the woman looked at Xu Bo'an again pleadingly and said, "Sir, I just want you to help me push the car away and then take me down the mountain to find a place with cell phone signal. Is that okay with you?"
Xu Bo'an shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. Your father's condition is already very urgent. It will be too late for us to call the doctor up to open his stomach for surgery. If you trust me, I have a method that may be useful."
"What? You have a solution? Are you a doctor?" the woman asked in surprise.
Xu Boan shook his head and said, "No, I only know a folk remedy. If you agree, I can try it."
The woman looked unhappy and said quickly, "Folk remedies? My father's condition is not a simple illness, but he accidentally swallowed a skewer. I believe that folk remedies can cure coughs and colds, or even difficult and complicated diseases, but in this case, the skewer must be taken out! I have heard of prescriptions to cure diseases, but I have never heard of prescriptions that can remove excess things from the body."
To be honest, she didn't believe Xu Boan's so-called folk remedies at all.
But now she needed help from Xu Boan, so she couldn't say anything final, so she expressed her thoughts in a tactful way.
Xu Bo'an said softly: "My folk remedy can most likely take out the iron skewer, but I have to first confirm the approximate size of the iron skewer that your father swallowed."
The girl's father raised his hand and gestured, saying, "About half a centimeter!"
The woman said with a grim expression: "I still think it's safer to go down the mountain to see a doctor. My friend, brother, please help me push this cart and take me down the mountain."
Xu Bo'an shook his head again, walked closer to the woman's father, and asked, "Old man, are you feeling unbearable pain in your stomach now?"
The old man nodded and said with difficulty: "Yes, I think it is very likely that this thing has scratched my stomach and intestines, and it may even pierce me."
Xu Boan comforted the old man and said, "It is very likely that a cut has already occurred, but it is unlikely that a stab will occur. Although the iron skewer is sharp, it is not sharp enough to penetrate the inner wall of the stomach.
But every time you move, you will increase the possibility of scratching yourself, so I don't recommend you to go down the mountain again. As for calling a doctor to perform surgery, it will also be a big burden for your current body. If you are willing to believe me, why not let me help you, maybe you can solve this problem without surgery!"
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, young man, meeting is destiny. I believe in you, just give it a try."
When the woman heard what her father said, she hurriedly said worriedly: "Dad, why are you..."
The old man raised his hand and said, "Well, this young man is kind-hearted. He is willing to help, which is great. What's more, he is right. At my age, it is better not to have surgery if possible. Besides, cutting open my stomach is too scary to think about. I'd better forget it!"
The woman looked at Xu Bo'an worriedly and said, "Sir, please...excuse me, how are you going to treat my father? Are you sure?"
Xu Boan shook his head and said, "I can't tell you how to treat it now, but I can tell you that I have heard of this kind of case before, so it's not unfamiliar to me."
"Are you very sure, then?" Seeing that Xu Boan did not answer the question directly, the woman asked again unwillingly.
The old man stopped him and said, "Okay, don't bother this young man. He is willing to help me, which is a great favor. Don't put pressure on him! He has no grudge against me and it is impossible for him to hurt me on purpose. Don't worry."
Seeing that the old man was reasonable, Xu Bo'an also said something more, explaining, "Don't worry, even if we are not completely sure about this matter, the situation will not get worse. My folk remedy is non-toxic and harmless, and it will take less than an hour at most. For the old man's condition, waiting for an hour or two will not have any effect."
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I know my own condition. Young man, just feel free to treat me."
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go back to the car to get some things."
The woman casually said, "Okay, if you need help, I'll go with you!"
Xu Boan shook his head and declined, "No, thank you. It's not much. I can do it myself. You stay here and look after the old man. Help him press his legs to prevent him from getting numbness from sitting for too long and becoming unable to move!"
Limited mobility? For a while?
The woman was very curious about what Xu Boan meant. In her opinion, her father was in so much pain that he couldn't even walk or stand up. Xu Boan asked him to move in a moment. What kind of movement was that? Wasn't this a joke?
Although she was curious, since her father had already agreed to accept Xu Boan's treatment, the woman said nothing. She returned and carefully massaged her father's legs.
Only then did Xu Bo'an walk towards the Pajero that he was driving.
Xu Boan said he was going back to the car to get something, but it was actually just an excuse.
He had seen similar cases in the Zhang family's ancestral medical books, which said that the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing had encountered a similar situation. At that time, Zhang Zhongjing adopted the relevant records in the "Shennong Bencao Jing", actively thought about it, and cleverly came up with a treatment plan to cure the patient's illness.
Xu Boan knew the prescription very well, but he didn't have the herbs with him now.
It is too late to go down the mountain to buy it now, so the best way is to find some in the bonsai world.
This matter couldn't be said directly, so Xu Bo'an made an excuse to go to the car to get it and temporarily returned to his car.
As soon as he got back in the car, Xu Bo'an had an idea and his eyes swept across the sky above the bonsai world.
Xu Boan accurately scanned every layer of land within the territory, found some honey on a hillside, and then shook his head in disappointment.
I thought such a large area should be rich in resources, but it seems I was overthinking.
For some rare items, you still have to find a professional place to buy them.
Xu Bo'an immediately generously consumed a wisp of incense and vows, and came to the open-air statue of the City God in Shanyang County.
Xu Bo'an was so generous, firstly, he wanted to save people, and secondly, he would have nothing to do if he didn't save this person.
After all, the car was right there blocking the road, and Xu Boan couldn't just pick up the car and walk over to release it in front of others.
Moreover, whether pushing the cart down to call for help, or waiting for the other party to leave and then using the golden finger to retract and release the vehicle, it would be a waste of time. It would be better to treat them directly, which would save your own time.
Soon, Xu Bo'an had a bird's eye view of the entire Shanyang County, and then found the location of a medicine shop.
After a careful search, he found what he needed in the medicine cabinet of the pharmacy.
Seeing the shopkeeper of this medicine shop resting in the back room, Xu Bo'an immediately said to him: "I am the local city god, shopkeeper, I need some medicinal herbs, and I hope you can find them for me as soon as possible."
The owner of the medicine shop often knelt down to worship the statue of the City God. When he heard Xu Bo'an's voice, his face suddenly lit up and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa City God, I am your loyal believer. Please tell me what you need me to do."
Xu Bo'an ordered, "Go to the front hall quickly and get me one ounce of live magnetite and two ounces of saltpeter, preferably ground into fine powder, and then find some cooked lard and honey."
Although the honey that Xu Boan just found was a large lump, it had not been filtered, so Xu Boan tried not to use it as much as possible.
Hearing the City God's order, the shopkeeper did not dare to be negligent and immediately responded, "I understand. I will go and get the medicine according to your request!"
Soon, the shopkeeper took out and weighed all the medicinal herbs according to Xu Boan's request, and then placed them on a plate.
The next moment, he saw the food on the plate disappear in an instant.
The one who took away these important medicines was naturally Xu Bo'an. These were exactly the kinds of medicinal materials needed for the prescriptions he learned from the Zhang family's ancestral medical books.
Soon, Xu Boan got out of the car with the herbs and walked straight to the old man.
Then Xu Bo'an spread out the herbs wrapped in brown paper and said to the old man sitting there, "Grandpa, this is saltpeter and magnetite, and these are lard and honey. You may not have heard of the first two, but you must know the latter two."
Unexpectedly, the old man said, "Okay young man, you don't need to introduce yourself to me, just perform it directly, I absolutely believe in you."
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay, eat these."
As he spoke, Xu Boan rubbed the things with his bare hands into a pill-sized shape and handed it to the old man.
The old man's daughter looked confused. Seeing Xu Boan's unhygienic appearance, she couldn't help but want to speak, but she saw that her father had already opened his mouth and swallowed the pill Xu Boan handed over.
Perhaps it was because the pill was too big. The moment the old man swallowed it, he felt a little retching and subconsciously bent over and coughed twice.
The vibration of his body once again affected the wound in his stomach and intestines. The old man groaned in pain and his face turned pale instantly.
"Dad, are you okay?" the woman asked anxiously when she saw her father's appearance.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No...it's no problem."
He coughed again while speaking, and subconsciously put his hand to protect his mouth, but saw a streak of blood spurting out directly, staining his hand.
"He's coughing up blood and he still says he's fine. Dad, let's go find a doctor!" the woman said worriedly.
Xu Boan explained: "This blood is just from the damaged wound in the stomach and intestines. It's not a big problem, don't worry."
The woman muttered to herself angrily: It sounds nice to say, but if it didn't happen to you, of course you wouldn't care about anything.
This is my father! If anything happens to my father, I will not forgive you!
Xu Boan didn't know what the woman was thinking. While he was explaining, he reached out and gently massaged the old man's abdomen. The old man immediately felt the pain eased a lot, as if a warm current was moistening his abdomen. Soon, his frown also relaxed.
Then he suddenly frowned and said, "Yeah, I kind of want to poop!"
Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "That's right. It's inconvenient for you to move now, so just solve it here. Your daughter just helped you relax your legs, so you should still have some strength. Let's just step aside for a while." (End of this chapter)
