Song Yi

Chapter 5 Sleeping alone in the inn
The pain relief from acupuncture just now made the young woman full of confidence in Du Wenhao, and she hurriedly said, "Let the doctor treat the child!"

The child's mother has said so, and of course the second daughter has no objection.Xue Fei'er hurried to prepare, fearing that it might not be done well, she simply brought the fire here, brought a basin of clear water on the fire, put a knife, gauze and new chopsticks in it to cook.

After cooking, Du Wenhao washed his hands with a mixture of flavescens and other medicinal materials for disinfection, and wiped the affected area again with a cotton ball for disinfection.

He picked up a high-temperature sterilized knife, cut open the abscess with the sharp edge, turned the knife upside down, and picked it open from the inside out to drain the pus.

Use chopsticks to extend into the abscess cavity, separate the intervals, and then use the chopsticks to guide, use a knife to extend the incision from both ends to the edge, and cut the abscess completely.

Then, wash the wound cavity with a mixed disinfectant solution dipped in medicinal cotton such as rhubarb and other medicinal materials.

After cleaning the abscess cavity, use chopsticks to hold the gauze and soak the anti-inflammatory solution mixed with Coptis chinensis and Nuxyche, one end is sent into the abscess cavity, and the other end is left outside the abscess cavity, and a drainage strip is buried.

Finally, put a clean gauze pad that has been steamed in a steamer on top, and wrap it with a triangular bandage to fix it.

Surgery is complete.

Du Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, don't let the wound touch the water, keep it clean. I'll prescribe a decoction for the child to take after a while, it's for anti-inflammation... this one, to prevent the wound from suppurating again."

He saw that the second daughter was very surprised by the word anti-inflammatory, so he changed the explanation.I reminded myself that this is ancient times, and modern vocabulary should not appear, lest it shock the world.

Because the pain was reduced by the gold needles, the child cried during the operation, but it was not as heart-piercing as before. After the operation was completed, the child seemed to know that a smile appeared on the little face, revealing two small white spots that had just sprouted. Tooth, very cute.

Du Wenhao was somewhat worried about this crude operation. After all, the medicine was just enough, and the knife and gauze hadn't been strictly sterilized, so he didn't know if the wound would be infected.

Fortunately, the abscess is only in the superficial skin layer, so it is not a big problem. If it is a deep skin abscess, or a critical part such as the head, or even a body cavity operation, then such a crude surgical condition may cause problems.

When Lin Qingdai and Xue Feier saw the child smiling, they couldn't help but also smiled, and looked at Du Wenhao approvingly.The mother of the child was even more tearful and thanked the three of them.

Xue Fei'er smiled at Du Wenhao and said, "I can't tell, you doctor Ling really has a lot of skills. Is that enough?"

"Basically, it's all right. I need to change the drainage strip tomorrow afternoon..., ah no, change the dressing. Check the wound healing and re-bandage the wound. If there is no suppuration, then it will be fine."

"Okay, then I have to trouble the doctor to change the medicine for the child tomorrow. By the way, what's your last name, doctor?"

"No expensive, my name is Du Wenhao."

"Oh, my name is Xue Fei'er, this inn is opened by my father, and this is shopkeeper Lin Qingdai from 'Wuweitang', she is my good sister."

Although Du Wenhao has only traveled to the Song Dynasty for a day, but in the modern society, movies, television, novels, magazines, networks, and various media have gained a lot of knowledge. He also knows the etiquette of the ancients. With yesterday's observation, he quickly learned the basic etiquette of the Song Dynasty , imitating the manner, cupped his hands and said: "I have seen two girls."

Xue Fei'er giggled and said: "You can call me a girl, but you can't call her. Sister Lin is a lady, not a girl! Her man... passed away two years ago, you can't bark."

Du Wenhao was startled, it turned out that Lin Qingdai was a little widow, she was widowed at a young age, but she deserved it.

Filled with sympathy, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm so rude, I've met Madam! Please forgive the crime of recklessness just now!"

Lin Qingdai also gave a blessing, with a sad expression on her face: "Young master, I am serious. I am a widow. Please call me by my name or the shopkeeper."

"Okay, shopkeeper Lin!"

Xue Feier asked: "Du Langzhong, where do you live?"

Du Langzhong? ——Why does it sound like "Tu Lang Zhong"?
If he calls himself Doctor Ling, then he is a native doctor.

At the moment, he sighed leisurely: "Walking in the rivers and lakes, making his home all over the world, I met bandits, who sold medicine pills under the guise of wrapping up their clothes, and were all robbed. Now that I have no money, it seems that I can only sleep on the streets."

Xue Fei'er thought for a while, and said: "How about this, if you don't mind, just stay here at my father's inn for one night, and it happens that you have to change the medicine for the child tomorrow. I will find some patients for you to see a doctor How about earning some capital, and then buying some medicinal materials from Sister Lin to make pills and plasters at a cost price, re-purchase your outfit, and then be your wandering doctor?"

Du Wenhao said that he was a bell doctor, but he just said casually that he didn't want to drift around the world.

But it's a good idea for this little girl to find a few patients for herself to see a doctor and earn some money.

At the beginning, he also played a guest role as a sitting doctor in his uncle's pharmacy clinic, and ordinary illnesses did not bother him.

Immediately imitating the Song Dynasty people, bowed ninety degrees, and gave a long salute: "Thank you, beauty!"

"Don't call me beauty." Although Xue Fei'er was happy to be called beauty, she was embarrassed and finally corrected her, "You can call me by my name, or call me Fei'er. Everyone calls me that, it's mine. Nickname."

"Okay, sister Fei'er."

"Hee hee, your mouth is so sweet," Xue Fei'er blushed and looked at him, "But as I said earlier, my inn is full of peddlers, and these people don't have much money for your consultation. , then don’t feel too little.”

"How could it be? Give it if you have it. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. It's the duty of a doctor to cure the disease and save the patient."

"Well, that's good, write a prescription and get the medicine."

Du Wenhao wrote an anti-inflammatory prescription for Lin Qingdai, and went back to take the medicine according to the prescription for the child.

After Lin Qingdai left, Xue Feier found Du Wenhao a simple single room in the bungalow for him to see a doctor and stay.

Before Du Wenhao performed drainage surgery on the child, all the patients in the shop watched the excitement except those who were asleep, and they were also very curious about this doctor's surgery. The high-spirited and bright story of giving back to poor children for medical treatment without charging money won the audience's admiration.

Therefore, not only some traffickers and pawns who lived in Tongpu with minor illnesses came to him for medical treatment, but even some rich merchants who lived in upper houses also came to him for medical treatment.

These diseases are mainly common diseases such as colds, diarrhea, boils and ulcers. These diseases have been treated by Du Wenhao in his uncle's pharmacy before, and he can deal with them freely based on syndrome differentiation and treatment.

It's just that his calligraphy is not very good, and he has never practiced it. Holding the brush is like a knife.

After writing a prescription under Xue Feier's strange eyes, she was sweating profusely.

If you want to survive in the Song Dynasty, you have to find time to practice calligraphy well.

Xue Fei'er helped to find the patient, and when he wrote the prescription, she helped take it to Wuweitang opposite to get the medicine for the patient.The two worked until late at night before finishing the last patient.

Du Wenhao counted the consultation fees for this night. Most of the patients who came to see him were poor, peddlers who were reluctant to spend money. So there are only twenty texts in total, which is equivalent to more than 20 yuan, but it is enough for tomorrow's meal, which is a small gain.

(Note: The coin system of the Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, and the records were full of contradictions. In terms of conversion rate, according to the basic parameter of rice price, the value of 1 tael of silver in the Song Dynasty was about 1 to 1 yuan. This book is for description and understanding For convenience, the exchange formula is determined as follows: 10 Wen copper coins = 1 penny = 0.1 pennies = 1 tael of silver = [-] taels of gold = [-] yuan. One penny is equivalent to one yuan.)
Xue Fei'er was about to say goodbye and leave when Du Wenhao hurriedly said, "Sister Fei'er!"

Xue Fei'er turned around and looked at him: "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, I'm hungry and haven't eaten all day. I don't know if there is any food in the store?"

"Ah? Why didn't you say it earlier, it's already three o'clock, and the chef has already gone to bed."

"I have been busy seeing a doctor just now. I can't let the patient wait and eat first. I can eat whatever I want, as long as I fill my stomach."

The inn of Xue Feier's father mainly provides accommodation. Although there is also a dining room, it mainly does not operate catering, so there are not many uneaten meals left. He said, "Well, I will go to the kitchen to see. You wait Go."

Xue Fei'er hurried out, and after a while, she came back with two hard dry steamed buns and a stack of pickles: "I'm really sorry, this is the only thing left."

Du Wenhao was already very hungry at the moment. Seeing these two dried steamed buns made him more envious than seeing shark fin lobsters. He hurriedly took them over: "It's okay! That's all you need! How much is it?"

"Cold steamed buns, no money, free!"

"Thank you!"

He grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite, and with a bang, his teeth almost fell out.

Xue Fei'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The cold steamed buns are too hard, you have to soak them in water to eat."

Most of the people staying in this inn are peddlers with little money, and the price is so high that others can't afford it, so the noodles used for the steamed buns are also the lowest-grade black noodles, which harden like stones when they get cold.

Du Wenhao hurriedly smashed it into pieces and put it into a bowl, poured water on it, and soaked until softened, then put it into his mouth and chewed it. It's like chewing dirt, but I haven't eaten for a day, so I don't care about it, I pour the small dish of pickles into the bowl, gobble it up and pour it into my mouth.

Xue Fei'er laughed loudly: "Look at you! You must be really hungry. Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

Du Wenhao didn't care about answering, and ate up a bowl of steamed buns soaked in water.After wiping his mouth and stroking his stomach, he smiled awkwardly.

Xue Fei'er also smiled and glanced at him: "Hurry up and sleep, I'm leaving!"

Du Wenhao thanked repeatedly and sent Xue Feier out.

After Xue Fei'er left, Du Wenhao closed the door of the leaky room, spread out the futon that exuded a faint musty smell, took off the moon-white coarse cloth robe, blew out the oil lamp, and lay on the bed.

This is the first night in the Song Dynasty, but the first pot of gold earned is only enough for a day's food, which is not only frustrating.

Thinking about my ten-year cold window, now I have traveled to the Song Dynasty for no reason, and became a wandering doctor, lying pitifully in this dilapidated small wooden house, covered with a musty quilt, gnawing hard cold steamed buns that can be used as hammers, If mom and dad knew that they were reluctant to send their son to the grassroots to suffer hardships at the beginning, they might feel distressed about what he looks like now.

For a moment, I couldn't help feeling sad, and my nose felt a little sore.

However, he is not a sentimental person. He sniffed, turned over, and calmed down as soon as he came, and turned his attention to the new things he saw in ancient times today in his mind, and then diverted his attention.

As he thought about it, he thought of Lin Qingdai, the lady shopkeeper with outstanding demeanor and courage, and Xue Feier, who was lively, lovely and full of compassion.

The two women are so beautiful, and they are also very kind to themselves, and they feel a little warmth in their hearts.

Tired all day, thinking about it, then fell asleep drowsily.
