Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 751 Strong Daughter
In the past few years, among the imperial physicians who have been invited, it's not that they didn't look at Tianhui's eyes as "blind eyes".I also tried the "Golden Needle Pulling Obstacle Technique" on Tianhui Eye, but it didn't work.

Later, the imperial physicians had to lament, and only said that Tianhui was a "natural disease", which was carried in the womb and could not be cured.Cao Yong and Chu Yu can only be disappointed and then disappointed.

Now, hearing that Mr. Fang Zhong had seen a similar patient, both of them couldn't help paying attention, and then they heard him continue to say: "The patient in Quanzhou is not a natural disease, but a scholar who makes a living by copying in the library. Old books hurt his eyes and he is tired. As a result. Coupled with the lack of money for diagnosis and treatment, it took a long time to delay, and the eye disease became more and more serious. Later, when the little old man passed through Quanzhou, he met this scholar, and he couldn't help but try his skills..."

Hearing this, Fang Zhonggong seemed to be lost in memory, stopped speaking, and frowned.Chu Yu couldn't bear it any longer, and asked, "What's the matter? That scholar's eye disease has healed?"

Fang Zhonggong nodded, but his brows were furrowed even tighter, and there was no joy on his face.

Chu Yu could only feel her heart trembling wildly, rubbing her chest, wondering if she was wrong.She turned her head and looked at her husband with a little hope and panic.

Cao Yong also saw that Mr. Fang Zhong was wrong, and followed Xuanxin, asking: "Mr. Fang, is there anything wrong with it being cured?"

Mr. Fang Zhong sighed, and said: "That scholar has only been ill for two years, and his eye is still necrotic. In the end, only one eye reappeared. Although Ling Ai is not yet three years old, since the disease was born in the womb, it has been more than three years. .What will happen in the end, I don’t know the little old man.”

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you have to try. The worst plan is just a waste of time. Please try your best to Fang Lao." Cao Yong said sincerely without any hesitation.

Chu Yu was by the side, nodding after hearing her husband's words, tears were already coming out.

Although there shouldn't be much hope, there is finally a glimmer of hope.For Chuyu, who has been looking for a doctor for her daughter for three years, this hope is still very exciting.

Fang Zhonggong is also a father, so he can naturally sympathize with Cao Yong and his wife's love for their daughters.He said seriously: "Master Cao, Grandma Cao, this is not an ordinary eye disease, so the little old man did not use the ordinary golden needle technique. This treatment method is too painful, even adults may not be able to bear it. It is used on children , even the little old man who used the knife finds it difficult to do so."

Hearing this, Cao Yong was stunned.

In Chinese medicine, I have never heard of "eye surgery".Could it be that Fang Zhonggong studied western medicine in Fujian and Zhejiang?
Feeling suspicious, he asked bluntly, "Old Fang, is this a method of Western medicine?"

"No, this is the earthwork of the mountain people in southern Fujian." Fang Zhonggong replied.

Next, Fang Zhonggong explained the specific treatment methods in detail.Hearing that, Chu Yu's face turned pale, and Cao Yong felt heavy in his heart.

However, Cao Yong still remembered what Fang Zhonggong said just now, the longer the delay, the less hope of a cure.

"Governance. This is a major event related to the child's life. We can't delay it because we are afraid of her pain." The first sentence was said by the other party's seed, but the latter sentence was said by Cao Yong to his wife.

Chu Yu nodded, also agreeing with this opinion.

Fang Zhonggong nodded and said: "The season is good now, although it is already summer, there is no summer heat yet, so you can suffer less."

Cao Yong has never seen Fang Zhonggong use a knife, but he has seen other imperial physicians use a knife.The surgery at this time is all using sharp blades on the fire, acting as a "scalpel", which is too unhygienic.

Fortunately, there is still "alcohol" brought back from Rehe last year in the mansion, which can be used for disinfection.

The husband and wife put all their minds on their daughter's "surgery".Because they didn't know the result yet, they didn't dare to tell Cao Yin and Li Shi, because they didn't want the two elders to worry.But the housework in the mansion always needs someone to take care of it, so they sent someone to pick Zijing back.

Zijing heard that she was going to treat Tianhui's eye disease, so she followed suit.

On April [-]th, everything was ready, and Cao Yong took two days off in the Yamen.

Indus Court, upper room, east room.

This place was used as Tianhui's treatment place, all the sundries in the room were moved out, and alcohol was spilled on the ground.Besides Fang Zhonggong, Cao Yong and his wife and Fang Qiniang stayed in the house.

Zijingyuan also wanted to come in, but she still needed to take care of the outside affairs, so she didn't come in.

All four of them wore white cloth clothes, as well as white hats and masks.These objects were prepared by Cao Yong.Although not from a medical background, surgical disinfection is an attempt by modern people.

After listening to Cao Yong's explanation, Fang Zhonggong could only admire his knowledge and knowledge.

On the ground, there were two pots, one filled with clear water and the other filled with half a pot of "alcohol".Fang Zhonggong cleaned his hands first with water and then with "alcohol".

On the kang, Tianhui sat in Chuyu's arms, as if feeling that the atmosphere in the room was not right, her small arms hugged Chuyu's neck tightly.

Cao Yong held a gauze belt in his hand and leaned over to blindfold his daughter.

"Father?" Tianhui finally let go of Chuyu, reached out to wipe the gauze covering her eyes, and said, "If you don't cover it, you won't be able to see it."

Of course Cao Yong knew this, just in accordance with Fang Zhonggong's meaning, just in case, the province's eyes were hurt by the light.

Chu Yu stroked her daughter's hair lightly, and said softly, "Tianhui, if it hurts after the treatment, I will cry, but I can bear it when I cry. When the cure is cured, I will take home all the pastries in Daoxiang Village. Come."

"Really? That's great." Tianhui's small face showed joy when she heard the words, and then she felt a little confused: "But my brothers are not at home, and my aunts are not at home... The elder brother said that my grandfather also likes to eat pastries. Just being embarrassed in front of grandma..."

Later, she "giggled" with a smile.

Cao Yong looked at Mr. Fang Zhong, saw him nodding, and said to Tianhui: "Good girl, the treatment is about to begin, so obediently lie down on the kang. Mom is on your left and dad is on your right. They are all with you. Do not be afraid."

Tianhui didn't make a sound, but just nodded her little head melon seeds.

While talking, Chuyu had already put Tianhui on the kang, removed her coat, leaving only her bellyband on her body.

Although Tianhui was young, she was also a little embarrassed. She lay on the pillow and kept silent.

Fang Qiniang looked at the steel knives and needles placed on the silver plate, and let out a long breath.The last time Fang Zhonggong was treating someone, she was still young and didn't remember anything.

After hearing her father's healing method this time, she also felt terrified.

The common people outside, some patriarchal, don't take girls seriously; in the Cao Mansion, the child Cao Yong and his wife cared most about was this sick daughter.

She thought to herself, she already took a clean veil in her hand, soaked it in "alcohol", and wiped Tianhui's back.

As soon as Tianhui's body became cold, her small body couldn't help shivering.Chu Yu hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand to comfort her.

Mr. Fang Zhongcai put a medicine bowl on the table, which was black soup.Cao Yong looked at this and heaved a sigh of relief.This is the ancient "numbing drug" Mafeisan. I hope it will work and relieve my daughter's pain.

Qiniang took Mafeisan from Fang Zhonggong's hand, and wiped Tianhui's back again as if just now.

This time Tianhui didn't feel the discomfort just now, she groped with her right hand, grabbed Cao Yong's sleeve, and whispered: "Father, Huier wants to hear the story of Shi Houer...does Shi Houer also get sick?"

Cao Yong held his daughter's hand and said: "The stone monkey is also sick. He also hurt his eyes and couldn't see. Later, he invited a doctor and took care of it."

It's not that he was fooling his daughter, but because it's been a long time, he has almost forgotten the plot of Journey to the West.

Sure enough, Tianhui seemed dissatisfied with his father's handling, and said, "Who hurt it? How is it better? Did you cry? Does it hurt?"

"It's King Huangsha, a monster. His younger brother Zhu Bajie invited a famous doctor to cure him. It hurts, but the stone monkey is so strong, so he gritted his teeth and endured it." Cao Yong said casually.

As Tianhui was listening, she felt someone touching her back from the neck down.

"Mom?" Her voice was timid.

"Don't be afraid, Tianhui, it's your sister Qiniang's father, a famous doctor, and he's treating Tianhui." Chu Yu stared at the steel needle in Fang Zhonggong's hand, and replied with a pale face.Because of fear, her body trembled slightly.Tianhui sensed it, but turned off her voice.

Fang Zhonggong's hand had already landed on Tianhui's Dazhui acupoint.

There was also a head of sweat on his forehead.Tianhui is less than three weeks old, and her bones are so small that she can't compare with an adult's body at all.

He took a long breath, took the steel needle, and pierced into the place where his hand was pressing.

"Mom... woo..." Tianhui never left because of medicine since she was a child, but she had never suffered this kind of crime.In just one moment, his body began to struggle, and he grinned and cried out.

Cao Yong hurriedly held down his daughter, and Fang Zhonggong couldn't care less about Tianhui crying, knowing that if he couldn't do it all at once, he would suffer more and more.As soon as he exerted force on his wrist, the steel needle had picked out a thin tendon from Tianhui's flesh.

He took a small knife from the silver plate with his left hand and cut off the thin tendon.

"It hurts...it hurts..." Tianhui was in so much pain that she cried desperately.

When Chu Yu heard this, she felt her heart, liver and lungs ached. She grabbed her daughter's hand, choked up and coaxed, "Tianhui bear with it, and when she recovers, mother will ask the theater troupe to play the monkey grandson for you." .”

Rao was mentally prepared before, Cao Yong also felt dizzy when he saw his daughter's bloody back.

Listening to Tianhui's cry, Qiniang's eyes were also red, but she still opened her eyes wide, watching how her father operated.

Fang Zhonggong's hand ran along Tianhui's spine, rubbing it up and down, and then stayed on Tianhui's waist.

Tianhui seemed to have foreseen the coming pain, and prayed: "Mom, Dad, it hurts, don't, it hurts..."

"Cry when it hurts, and persist while crying, it will be fine. Tianhui will be able to play and study with her brothers..." Chu Yu said with tears.

Cao Yong's eyes fell on Fang Zhonggong's hands.

The second place was not as smooth as before. It took three times to pick out the protruding tendons with a steel needle.

As the thin tendon was cut off by the blade, Tianhui's body twitched twice, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, and passed out from the pain.

Both Cao Yong and Chu Yu changed their faces. Chu Yu wanted to hug her daughter, but was stopped by Cao Yong.

Mr. Fang Zhong is here, if it is really inappropriate, he will say it himself.Now, he put down the blade and was stroking Tianhui's tailbone.

"There's another place." He exhaled and said.

When the steel needle went down, Tianhui woke up from the pain, her voice was already hoarse from crying.Her small face was pale, her head was covered with cold sweat, and the curtain of her head was wet and stuck to her forehead. It was hard to tell whether it was sweat or tears on her face.

She struggled with all her strength, but after all she was small and weak, Cao Yong and Chu Yu held her tightly.

Fang Zhonggong also felt cold sweat on his back, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Tianhui's voice could no longer cry, her mouth was dry and she kept crying.

Fang Zhonggong stabilized his mind, picked up the steel needle in his hand, and pierced Tianhui's tailbone.

Because of the severe pain, Tianhui's body was stiff, Fang Zhonggong wanted to pick the needle out, but he couldn't.Chu Yu's eyes had long since dared not touch her daughter's back, so she just lowered her head and kept kissing her daughter's small face.

Cao Yong looked straight, as if it was stuck on his own body, and his heart ached.He took his daughter's small arm and said, "Okay, the treatment is over, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

When Tianhui heard her father's words, her small body relaxed, and then there was a piercing pain.

Her cry was extremely shrill, and as Mr. Fang raised his knife, she rolled her eyes and fainted from the pain again.

Tianhui's fair back was not bloody, but three bright red bloodstains still hurt Cao Yong's eyes.

Cao Yong didn't come to his senses until he saw Fang Zhonggong put down the knife and steel needle in his hand, took a bag of hemostatic medicine, and put it on Tianhui, Cao Yong came to his senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Old Fang, the treatment is over?
Fang Zhonggong gave Tianhui the medicine before returning: "It's fine this time, and I have to do it again every half a month. I can see if it has any effect after three times."

The process of suffering like this will happen twice again?Cao Yong was so entangled in his heart that he couldn't bear to see Tianhui.

Chu Yu held her daughter in her arms, but she was afraid of touching the wound on her back, her cautious appearance made people feel bitter.

Tianhui is sick, has a fever and talks nonsense.Mr. Fang Zhong saw that it was caused by excessive fright, and he prescribed a prescription to calm the nerves of the child, and Tianhui got better.

Cao Yong was worried about his daughter, so he asked for two more days off in the Yamen.Take care of Tianhui with his wife.Even Fang Zhonggong regretted it a little, shouldn't this method be used on children.

Two days later, Tianhui's fever subsided, but her little face lost her smile.No matter how Chu Yu and Cao Yong coaxed him, the little guy would turn cold and refuse to eat their food.

Knowing her daughter, Mo Ruomu, Chuyu knew that her daughter had a bad temper, so she must be annoyed that she was forced to treat her illness that day.After coaxing and coaxing, it still didn't work, because she was afraid of starving her, she had to ask Zijing to come forward.

Tianhui grabbed Amethyst and didn't let go.Amethyst must accompany him when eating, sitting and lying down.Even when sleeping at night, she has to turn her body sideways and squeeze into Zijing's arms, so that she can sleep soundly.

In her young heart, her biological parents were already liars, and they could no longer be trusted.

After all, there is no miracle, the story of seeing light after one piercing, still hasn't happened.The gauze on Tianhui's eyes has been removed, waiting for the second treatment in half a month.

On Zijing's side, hugging Tianhui, she was about to speak out, but Tianhui still didn't mean to forgive her parents.

Cao Yong and Chu Yu were ignored by their daughters, how pitiful they were.Although they felt sorry for their daughter's suffering, the husband and wife agreed that they should continue the second and third treatments.

Perhaps this is the daughter's only chance to regain her sight. If she misses this opportunity, the husband and wife will regret it for the rest of their lives.

After taking "sick leave" for four consecutive days, Elder Sixteen came to the door.

Seeing that Cao Yong's face was sallow, and his little face became thinner, Elder Sixteen was taken aback: "How could you be so sick? I thought you were pretending to be sick because of the heat, and you were thinking about taking the imperial doctor to hurt you. See I really need to ask the doctor."

Cao Yong has never had a peaceful night's sleep since listening to Fang Zhonggong's description of the treatment techniques.He came from hundreds of years later, of course he knows that the human body has a "nervous system" in addition to bones and flesh and blood.

The place where Mr. Fang Zhong moves his hands is also the most important spine in the human body.If there is a mistake or something, the consequences will be disastrous...

It's not in Cao Yong's heart that he never thought about finding a few similar cases in private and letting Fang Zhonggong practice his hands.But Tianhui suffers from an unusual eye disease, and it is impossible to find a similar patient.

Besides, after all, he grew up in a society ruled by law, and he was full of fear of human life. He was not cold-blooded enough to think that his daughter was precious, and other lives were worthless.

Before Tianhui treated his illness, he just asked Cao Fang to find an empty house, and then found a lot of cats.He shaved the cat's hair, and according to what Mr. Fang said, he used steel needles to pick tendons at different positions on the cat's spine.

After picking more than a dozen cats in a row, I finally picked out a thin tendon not much thicker than a hair at the tailbone of one of the cats.Looking at the cat's eyes again, it was really cloudy inside, and the pupils were dilated.

Somewhat confirming Fang Zhonggong's words, this kind of eye disease is in the spine, and it is not an isolated case.Cao Yong gritted his teeth and let Fang Zhonggong use this method to treat his daughter with peace of mind.

After the first treatment, Tianhui had a fever, and Cao Yong and Chuyu stayed there for two days without daring to close their eyes.When Tianhui's fever subsided, Cao Yong couldn't bear it.Coupled with being those cats, he couldn't sleep.

Therefore, within a few days, Cao Yong became like this.

"It doesn't matter. I have asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription, just sleep for two days." Cao Yong said.

He was really happy to see Brother Sixteen coming to the door.Because I was really tired and wanted to rest for another two days, I was a little embarrassed to ask for leave, and it would be cheap if I asked Brother Sixteen to leave.

Seeing Cao Yong's dark circles, Elder Sixteen hesitated for a moment, and said: "Fu Ruo, do you have something on your mind? Is it because the fourth brother misunderstands that you voted for the fourteenth brother? Or is it that the thirteenth brother will drag you down in the muddy water? You can't be so terrified, can you?"

Cao Yong listened and rolled his eyes.

Could it be that Cao Yong's life was just to make fun of those princes and elder brothers?Compared with his precious daughters, those princes are really nothing.

Brother Sixteen has been with him for many years, seeing his expression, he knew that he was thinking about it, and said with a sneer: "If it's not for this, or what? Look at your troubled look, it's the same as what happened to you. It's like a big deal!"

Brother Sixteen is not an outsider, and it is not shameful to treat his daughter. Cao Yong said what happened in the past few days.

The sixteenth brother was dumbfounded when he heard it, pointed at Cao Yong, and was speechless for a long time.

Cao Yong understood what he meant.It means that he has the courage to let his daughter use such a dangerous method to treat her illness.

Cao Yong didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just believed that Fang Zhonggong would be better than those imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.

After a while, Brother Sixteen sighed, and said, "If Tianhui is really cured, I'd better come up with a proper excuse, otherwise the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital will never have the face to visit Cao's family again..."
