Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 352 I gave him three silver dollars, and he almost killed me
Facing an old man who had great prejudices against traditional Chinese medicine, Fang Yan tried his best to make his words appear more precise.

As to whether it could be cured immediately with acupuncture, Fang Yan said to the old man:
"Acupuncture won't cure you instantly, but it can certainly help with the problem of urinary retention."

"Inability to urinate is called urinary retention and anuria in Western medicine, and stranguria in traditional Chinese medicine. It is also called stranguria in the "Lingshu. Benshu"."

"This name first appeared in Suwen. Wuchang Zhengda Lun."

"Meaning: A person with urination problems cannot urinate, and a person with stranguria has difficulty urinating."

"In the Jingyue Complete Book of Urination and Retention, the causes of urinary retention are summarized into four aspects: one is due to the accumulation of fire evil in the small intestine and bladder, which causes the water spring to dry up and the qi gate to be blocked by heat; the other is due to heat in the liver and kidneys, which causes the water channel to be blocked by either sperm or blood; the other is due to the exhaustion of true yang, the rootlessness of the primordial sea, and the blockage of qi; the other is due to the liver being strong and the qi being reversed, which obstructs the bladder and causes the blockage of qi being full."

"This is a very typical disease. Thousands of years ago, ancient people had studied treatment options. Gay men will basically encounter this disease more or less when they get older."

The old man looked dazed, nodded and said:
"Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, you must be really capable since you can explain it."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then asked to Fang Yan:

"I just have one question, after the injection, can I pee immediately?"

The old man doesn't care about anything else but this practical problem. Now urinating every day is what annoys him the most.

It's obviously very swollen, but I just can't pee, and even if I do pee, it's only a little.

It is painful to have to stay in the toilet for a long time over and over again to urinate in several times.

So he really wanted to know whether what Fangyan meant by solving the problem was what he thought it was.

"If you just mean pee it out, that's fine." Fangyan nodded.

Then he added:

"But it still needs follow-up treatment to get rid of the root cause. Otherwise, it will only work for a week at most and then the problem will recur again."

Upon hearing this, the old man stretched out his hand and said:

"Then what are you waiting for? If you can see immediate results, just do it!"

Fang Yan pointed to the bed beside him and said:

"You have to lie on the bed and I'll stab you in the lower body."

The old man was shocked and blurted out:

"You want to stab me in the head?"

Fangyan was speechless and explained to him:

"No, I mainly needle the Guanyuan and Zhongji points in the lower abdomen, and the Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, and Yinlingquan points in the lower limbs."

After hearing Fangyan's explanation, the old man heaved a sigh of relief and nodded:

"Oh, that's...that's okay!"

Fang Yan asked him:
"Do you have any alcohol or cotton?"

"Yes!" The old man nodded, and then shouted outside:

"Ronaldo!"

The door opened and Sister Luo walked in.

The old man waved his hand:

"Bring the medical kit from home!"

The latter nodded and immediately retreated. At this time, several people outside the door looked inside, and Ye Yun asked:
"Grandpa, are you going to start treatment?"

The old man nodded:

"Well, they said they would give me two injections and the problem would be solved in a while."

Hearing that the problem can be cured with just acupuncture, Ye Yun still remained skeptical and said:

"Brother-in-law, can you just give me two injections?"

This is what other people want to ask.

The dialect said:

"It's not just two needles, it's about nine needles, and acupuncture is only a temporary relief for the symptoms, and it will need to be combined with Chinese medicine treatment next."

"Oh...oh-oh!" Ye Yun suddenly realized.

Zhu Lang also said:

"That's what I said. It's not that simple."

At this time, Xie Yongliang frowned and asked:

"But nine injections can relieve the symptoms? This condition has lasted for quite a while."

Xie Yongzhen reminded at this time:

"Brother, you forgot again that he was the one who prescribed the prescription for treating stroke."

Xie Yongliang suddenly realized.

Because their grandfather doesn't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, the rest of the family doesn't believe in it either. The hospital in their army mainly uses Western medicine for battlefield rescue.

So I really don’t know much about Chinese medicine.

Xie Yongguang, who had been silent all this time, frowned and asked:
“Is Chinese medicine really so magical?”

The dialect explains:
"It's not Chinese medicine that's magical, it's the meridians in the human body that are magical. Chinese medicine is like finding a switch and matching the key. Using the right method can make the body react accordingly."

After hearing the metaphor of dialect, everyone showed a look of enlightenment.

At this moment, Sister Luo came with a medical kit with a red cross on it:
"The medical kit is here."

The old man pointed at Fangyan and motioned Sister Luo to give it to him.

After the dialect result, I opened it and took a look, and found alcohol and cotton inside.

There are also many tools, and the preparation is indeed very complete.

The old man said to the others:
"Okay, just wait outside, I'll be done in a moment."

After he finished speaking, he was not sure whether it would be finished in a short time, so he asked Fang Yan:

"Young man, it will be over in a moment, right?"

The dialect said:

"It takes half an hour, and the needle needs to be left in the acupuncture point."

The old man said:
"Oh, then half an hour is not long." Then he waved to the other grandchildren in the house and asked them to close the door.

After closing the door, Fangyan instructed the old man to lie down on the bed, lift up his clothes to expose his belly, and then lift up his trouser legs to his knees.

Then Fangyan began to disinfect his acupuncture points with alcohol and cotton.

While disinfecting, he said to the old man:
"When I insert the needle later, your lower abdomen will contract and twitch. Don't be nervous."

"Don't underestimate me, I have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Giving two injections is just a small scene." Even at this time, the old man still did not forget to talk about his past bravery.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Well, lie still, breathe easily, and I'll start right away."

Then Fangyan took out the needle from his wrist and inserted it into the Guanyuan acupoint.

After getting the qi, use the Pingxie technique in the Sancai acupuncture procedure to start the operation.

Mr. Xie responded immediately and said:

"Hey boy, I feel a chill in my stomach."

Fang Yan did not hide it from him and explained immediately:

"This is the drainage technique used in acupuncture, which means the treatment is effective."

Then Fang Yan placed another needle into the Zhongji acupoint. After moving it twice, the old man said in surprise:

"Ouch! My stomach is really cramping!"

The dialect told him:
"Don't be nervous, relax, and breathe slowly!"

"What's the principle behind this?" Mr. Xie felt like his body was not his own. Instead, it was being manipulated at will in Fangyan's hands, as if he was repairing a machine, so he asked hurriedly.

The dialect explains:
"The acupuncture points are stimulated and the internal organs respond."

And told him:

"Relax, I'll give you the needles."

Then, Fangyan began to insert needles into the acupuncture points on his legs one by one.

After each injection, the old man's lower abdomen would twitch, as if some switch in his body had really been turned.

"Why do your legs feel hot again?" asked the old man.

Fangyan responded casually:
"This is to replenish the air, please don't move."

Mr. Xie felt different temperature differences in several acupuncture points, and then felt like a stream of air began to flow through his lower body.

Suddenly it felt quite magical.

Wait until Fangyan finishes his last stitch, then start timing.

The old man said to the dialect:

"Young man, you are really capable. You have a reason for everything you do, unlike the bastard I met when I was young who only knew how to fool people."

When Fangyan heard the old man say this, he knew he was going to tell a story about his youth.

So I cleaned up the scene while waiting for him to continue.

The old man looked up at the ceiling, lost in memories.

He said:
"I was still young at the time and had just joined the army. I went out in the wind and rain, had bad food, and lived a hard life. I was always losing battles. I was so unlucky during that time that even drinking cold water would make my teeth ache."

"I got sick once. I had a fever, pain all over my body, and a dry cough. The people in the army didn't know how to treat me. There was really no other way, so I went to find a Chinese medicine doctor in the local county town."

"That guy is quite famous in the local area. He is said to be able to tell what disease a person has by looking at their birth date and then prescribe medicine to cure the disease. Anyway, everyone calls him the God of Medicine."

"It is said that he is an imperial physician in the palace. He seems very impressive."

Fang Yan couldn't help but say:
"You had no doubts at the time?"

Fangyan had heard of this method in his previous life.

In fact, it is a Taoist medical method.

Use the Five Elements to identify the seasons and the Six Qi to examine the causes of diseases.

He remembered that in his previous life, there was a Chinese medicine doctor in Linyi, Shandong who knew this method.

Fangyan himself does not have this ability at the moment, so he doesn’t know whether it is true or not.

Mr. Xie said:
"I was ignorant at the time, and everyone said he was a god, so I believed him."

"Then I'll go find him."

At this point, he became a little excited and raised three fingers to Fangyan:

"At that time, I told him my birth date and he asked for three silver dollars right away."

Fangyan had no idea what silver dollars were. The old man reacted and immediately explained:

"At that time, one silver dollar could buy 60 kilograms of rice, but he asked me for kilograms of rice at one time!"

Converted to today, the price of rice in Beijing is about 45 yuan, not counting food coupons, so it is indeed a lot.

"He ended up prescribing me half a month's worth of Chinese medicine and told me to take it home and boil it to drink."

"I really believed him, but within five days of drinking it, I started to have blood in my stool."

"I was in a daze, and felt like I was about to see the gates of hell."

"I was really lucky at the time and managed to get through it by just being strong and tough for half a month."

At this point he clenched his fists excitedly and said:
"After I recovered from my illness, I went to settle accounts with this bastard. I had only one thought at that time: I must kill him with my own hands!"

"After I went there, I found out that this guy had run away a few days ago."

"I heard from others that he killed another important person's concubine with his medicine, and they are looking for him to settle the score."

"What happened next?" Fangyan asked.

"Later, I never saw that bastard again, and I would never believe in Chinese medicine again!" The old man sighed and shook his head.

If you put yourself in his shoes, you will find that Fangyan is particularly able to understand him.

Just when Fang Yan wanted to say something, the old man suddenly touched his belly and said:
"Ouch, wait...I feel like there's something unblocked down there!"

After saying that, he immediately sat up, and while busy putting on his slippers, he said:
"No, no, I won't tell you anymore, I have to pee!"
