Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 220 Eight Evils Remove Snake Venom

This kind of threatening conversation usually occurs only between parents and children.

I saw the two of them, one standing with a straight face and a fierce look; the other squatting on the ground wiping tears, with an expression of indescribable grievance, they were really alike.

Everyone looked at her amused and anxious, fearing that Wang Chengzhou was really evil-hearted and unwilling to treat her.

However, the fact is that although the Protozoa viper is one of the top ten venomous snakes in the country and the most common venomous snake common people see, its lethality is far inferior to that of real highly venomous snakes.

As far as the toxicity of the venom of the protozoa is concerned, for a normal person, the general lethal dose is about 50 mg.The amount of toxin excreted by an adult adder is only 27 milligrams.That is to say, if a normal person is bitten by this thing, it is impossible for him to be poisoned to death.

Those words were just exaggerated by Wang Chengzhou to scare her.

Just like the saying that rural women often say when children make trouble at night, "If you don't go to bed, the old mahu will eat you later." It has the same meaning but the same purpose.

Ma Hu refers to two cruel and easy-to-kill generals in ancient times, Ma Qiu and Ma Hu.

"Taiping Guangji" says: Later Zhao Shile general Ma Qiu was a Hu from Taiyuan.Vegetative fungi are dangerous and poisonous.When a son cries, the mother is so frightened that she will be so frightened that she stops crying.That’s the story.

Seeing that she relented, Wang Chengzhou walked up to her, squatted down, and pulled up her pants.

The crowd quickly gathered around.

There were two obvious tooth marks on Jian Mo's calf, which seemed to be bites from poisonous snakes.It only took a while and it was already swollen.

Both sisters were born and raised well. Their skin was originally fair and tender, but now there were two red marks on them, which looked shocking.

The strange thing is that the wound is not big, but it is bleeding outward.

Yu Hua felt nervous for a while and said hurriedly:

"Wang Xiucai, what...what's going on?"

"I heard people say that being bitten by a venomous snake is very troublesome, and you have to go to the hospital to get antivenom injected."

"Xiao Mo, can you...can you do this?"

When Jian Li heard this, she cried even harder.Holding her sister's legs, she burst into tears.It was obvious that he didn't quite believe Wang Chengzhou.

Everyone lowered their heads, probably thinking the same thing.

A village health worker doesn't have much ability to begin with, and this is a barren mountainous area. Where can he get antivenom?

Han Xuenong and Li Jigong didn't expect that Jian Mo's wound looked so serious. They were a little irrational at the time and even had to carry her to the hospital regardless of the situation.

But the county hospital is fifty or sixty miles away, and by the time they get there, everyone might be cold.

Jian Mo was so frightened that she stared blankly at the wound on her leg.There was indescribable sadness on the little face.

When Wang Chengzhou saw this, he quickly stopped the two hot-headed male educated youths and chuckled:

"Yu Hua, what you are asking is a bit insulting."

"It's just a poisonous snake bite. Don't mess up and cause me trouble."

"If you really care about her, look around to see if there is Hedyotis diffusa and bring it to me."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pinch the wound on Jian Mo's leg, squeezed it slightly, and blood spurted out.The pain was so painful that she felt like her soul was returning to her body. She cried out in pain and couldn't help but hold his big hand, tears streaming down her face.

But remembering the promise she had just made, she didn't dare to say anything. She just bit her lip and held his hand tightly to prevent him from moving.

Everyone swallowed, and seeing him so calm, they felt a little calmer.

Yu Hua's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "What... what flowers?"

"Hedyotis diffusa."

Wang Chengzhou freed her little hand, took out the needle he had with him, and explained:

"It's the kind with small white flowers, the calyx is like a round ball, the leaves are slender, and the rhizomes are sparse. We have met it many times on the way here."

"However, it's harvest season now, so there must be no flowers left."

"You can just pull out the whole plant based on what I just described and bring it to me."

There was once a beautiful legend about Hedyotis diffusa, so Wang Chengzhou was very impressed.

When everyone heard this, they started talking and immediately spread out to look for it.

Almost as soon as he turned around to search, someone exclaimed: "I found it, I found it!"

Wang Chengzhou took a look and nodded.

Diao Qingsong held the grass and scratched his head, very excited.

Hedyotis diffusa is not uncommon and can be found in fields and small mountain villages throughout the Central Plains.

I remember that at the end of that story, someone wrote a poem:

"Hedyotis diffusa is slender, lying on the ground and lingering beside the farmhouse. Since ancient times, good intentions have been rewarded with good deeds, and spiritual insects have spread their virtues and medicines."

To thank the spirit snake who transformed into a woman in white.

It also proves from the side that this kind of slender grass is very common.

It is cold in nature, slightly bitter but sweet in taste, and returns to the heart, liver, and spleen meridians.It has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, diuresis and treating stranguria.It can be used for cough due to lung heat, jaundice due to damp heat, sore throat, and insect and snake bites.

Even if used alone, there is no problem in treating the poison of cauliflower soldering iron tip.

Everyone's mood cheered up and they quickly gathered around again.

At this time, the wound on Jian Mo's leg began to hurt. She tried to hold it back, but finally couldn't help but hum.

Wang Chengzhou smiled, took out the silver needle, and pricked her wound a few more times. The pain made her tremble, and her calf tried to escape from his hand, and she desperately retracted it.

"do not move!"

Wang Chengzhou frowned slightly and glared at her, "The original spearhead adder is less venomous, but it ranks among the top ten venomous snakes in the country. Do you know why?" "Why?"

Jian Mo really hated him in her heart. She didn't want to answer his words, but the wound was so painful that she couldn't help but want to follow his words to divert her attention.

"That's because the original spearhead viper has always been known as the 'King of Rotten Meat'."

While Wang Chengzhou was squeezing out the remaining poison in her wound, he spoke to everyone in a popular science manner:

"The venom of the original spearhead adder is mostly blood circulation poison, hemolytic and anticoagulant poison. This toxin is highly destructive and can easily cause bleeding, swelling, blood blisters and even ulceration at the bite site."

"After being bitten, it is an 'unforgettable' experience for most people. That is what people often say - you can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living crime!"

"It's really admirable that you use practical actions to prove your sacrificial spirit of 'you will suffer the consequences if you don't listen to the old man's words'."

This is a bit damaging to say.

Jian Mo had been tortured to the point of excruciating pain, and when he scratched the painful area, she was so angry that she bit her teeth, her eyes were red, and her tears fell again.

Everyone was silent for a while.Regardless of whether I like it or not, I no longer dare to ignore what he said.

Yu Hua nudged him lightly with his toes, meaning to tell him not to be so mean to a little girl. They are already so miserable, and you are still trying to bully her.

Wang Chengzhou, however, had no sympathy for her.

Such a naughty kid will never have a long memory unless he is dealt with severely.

He took the Hedyotis diffusa that Diao Qingsong had found, squeezed it in his hand, and the juice dripped out, and applied it bit by bit on Jian Mo's wound.

After a period of coolness, the pain subsided slightly.

"Wang Chengzhou, are you...ok?"

Jian Li wiped her eyes and looked at him gratefully.

"not that simple."

Since we want to attack her arrogant temperament, we must carry it out to the end, "When I was arguing with your sister just now, I wasted some time, and the toxin has already invaded the body."

"If you want to get better quickly, you still need to endure some hardships."

"I move very quickly, please bear with me."

Jian Li was so angry that her chest bulged, and she said aggrievedly: "Then why didn't you do something faster just now?"

"I want it too!"

Wang Chengzhou spread his hands, a little helpless.

Jian Li immediately recalled the sarcastic words of her sisters, lowered her chin and muttered: "Yes... I'm sorry."

Seeing her apologizing again, Jian Mo said bitterly:

"Little Li!"

"We have admitted our mistakes!"

"It's not like he's going to die anyway. If you want to be treated, I'll tolerate it if you don't want to be treated. We have clear grievances. We remember a person's good deeds; humph, we'll also remember a person's bad deeds!"

Needless to say, although these twin sisters are unruly, they still have a lot of backbone.

Wang Chengzhou was just helping them deepen their memories, so why did he care whether they hated him or not?
Immediately, he took out the bloodletting needle, held her palm, separated the five fingers, and pricked the blood between the fingers one by one. Eight needles were inserted in a row.

Jian Mo's fingers were so delicate that it hurt when he pinched her, and because he pricked the tender flesh so many times, tears overflowed uncontrollably.

In other words, it seems that the tears on her face have never stopped since she met Wang Chengzhou...

A little girl was tortured like this. The big guys frowned and felt distressed.

Two male educated youths, Han Xuenong and Li Jigong, finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked:

"Wang Chengzhou, what are you doing?"

"Jian Mo was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the wound was on her calf. Why did you prick her hand?"

"The flesh between your fingers is so thin, it hurts when you prick it!"

Wang Chengzhou didn't know what the relationship between these two people was with Jian Mo and Jian Li, but judging from their nervousness, at least in their hearts, they were not just gay.

However, it is not their turn to question themselves regardless of the relationship.

Wang Chengzhou didn't even stop moving his hands, letting Jian Mo shed tears. He grabbed her wrist again, turned it over, and inserted a needle into each of the Neiguan points.

Then, he said:
"Wherever I go, I have my own reasons."

"The reason why she pricked her finger joints is because it is the Eight Evil Points. It has the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, unblocking meridians and relieving pain. It is an extra-meridian acupoint and can deal with many diseases. The important thing is that it can treat poisonous snake bites. It cooperates with Neiguan Point. , in order to enhance the effect of purging heat and detoxifying.”

"Have you seen the redness and swelling on her calf? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there has been inflammation there. Inflammation means heat. It was precisely to relieve her pain that I took the trouble to inject these needles into her again."

"It's just two girls in a movie, who cares about having bad thoughts towards them!"

Wang Chengzhou snorted coldly, cleaned the silver needle and put it away.

Jian Mo raised her face and stared at him dubiously. Suddenly, she was stunned and realized that her body was really much more comfortable than before.

The little mouth couldn't help but open.

Her younger sister Jian Li was even more surprised, and even pulled her and cried with joy.

At this time, everyone knew that Wang Chengzhou had completely resolved the snake bite crisis, and recalling his understatement, their hearts were filled with shock.

How good is this medical skill so that snake venom is not taken seriously from the beginning?

Han Xuenong and Li Jigong couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
