Chapter 11 Chapter Ten Ghost Embryo (Part 1)

The mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, but I finally found a few silkworm potatoes halfway up the mountain.I took a medicine shovel and dug out the two largest ones. When I saw the snow-white lumpy rhizomes, I was greatly relieved, and one of these lumpy rhizomes still had traces of insect bites. —— I knew that it was the silkworm. I took out the flashlight and took a photo of the inside of the massive rootworm's mouth. Sure enough, a white and fat worm with a trace of red silk thread crawled inside the rootstock. I took out the small bamboo basket that I had prepared earlier, with a lid on it, put the silkworm potatoes and their roots in the bamboo basket, covered the lid, and tied it firmly with a thin rope.Otherwise, if you are not careful, the celestial worms in the potato will run away, and the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced.

In fact, ordinary potatoes also have this kind of bug, commonly known as soil silkworm.Generally, these soil silkworms hide under the ground and live by eating the roots of plants.It's just that this kind of potato is a bit weird, and the medicinal effect is very good, which is not comparable to ordinary potato silkworms. I dug up the silkworm potatoes, and I was in a good mood. I was busy carrying the medicine basket and preparing to go down the mountain, but I was a little hesitant in my heart. Should I go down this mountain road, or go back to the top of the mountain, and go back the same way?Looking up at the sky, the sunset glow all over the sky has dissipated, leaving only a smear of bright red in the sky, and it will be dark soon.

You have to make a quick decision, otherwise, when it gets dark at one o'clock, let alone wild animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards in this mountain, even if you encounter snakes, insects, rats and ants, it will be very dangerous. Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided to go down the mountain road. Since there is a narrow path here, it proves that people often walk around, maybe there are people at the foot of the mountain. My luck was pretty good. I went down the mountain road. Although the road was rugged and difficult, when the moon rose, I still walked to the foot of the mountain, and the road gradually became flat.In the distance, there are a few sparse families vaguely seen, probably hunters in the mountains.

I was overjoyed when I saw this, and hurried up quickly, but it was getting late, and the few houses that were left were dimly lit, so I couldn't disturb them rashly.Walking all the way, fortunately, there was the last family, with evening lights on the windows.I thought about it, and immediately walked over bravely, reached out and knocked on the wooden door. After a while, a man in the room asked, "Who is it, what time is it?" "Hello, I'm a doctor who went to the mountains to collect herbs. I missed Sutou, and I want to stay overnight. Is it convenient?" I hurriedly raised my voice.

"Oh, doctor?" The voice of the man in the room hesitated for a moment, then there was a faint rustling voice, and then he said again, "Wait a minute!" "Okay, thank you!" I hurriedly thanked. After a long while, the door creaked open, and a stout young man poked his head out, looked me up and down for a moment, and asked, "Are you a doctor?" I hurriedly nodded and said: "Exactly, because I went to the mountains to collect herbs, I missed Sutou—" "It's good to be a doctor!" The young man breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a coincidence that you came here. My daughter-in-law is seven months pregnant. I don't know what's going on today. There seems to be something wrong." door, please let me in.

I couldn't help being stunned, there is such a coincidence in the world? Seeing the look of surprise on my face, the young man hurriedly said, "See you soon, doctor!" I had no choice but to step in immediately. On the walls of the room, there were some animal furs, and in the corner, there were some hunting tools used by hunters, such as knives and forks.I felt a little scared in my heart, I shouldn't have knocked on other people's doors hastily. It's just that the young man was very considerate and greeted me: "Doctor, can you treat my daughter-in-law?"

"Of course it's possible." I nodded hurriedly. Since I studied medicine, I have always taken it as my duty to treat diseases and save others. As long as there are patients, why don't they treat them? "Then come in quickly!" the young man said anxiously, "I have no idea!" The young man really had an anxious look on his face. It didn't look like it was fake. Seeing that he had already raised a broken curtain in the inner room, and he didn't know what kind of animal fur it was made of, he immediately followed him behind him. walked in. "Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, don't worry, there is a doctor passing by picking herbs, maybe someone can be saved..." The young man entered the inner room, hurriedly walked to the bed, and said to a woman on the bed.

I followed behind the young man and walked over a few steps. When I saw it, I was immediately taken aback. The lady on the bed was not very old, probably a few years younger than the young man, but her face was sallow and sallow. Obvious stretch marks, covered with a blue and white quilt, lying on the bed on his back, with his big belly sticking out. Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "Why is your wife like this? Has she been fine since she was pregnant?" "It used to be fine!" the young man stomped anxiously, "Yesterday I said I wanted to go back for a walk, but I went to my mother-in-law's house to play with me for a day, and I came back a bit late, so I took a shortcut. Unexpectedly, after returning, It didn’t work anymore, and I didn’t pay attention at first, thinking it was because I was tired and let her rest. Today I went out to hunt, and when I came back, I saw her lying on the bed, her face was really strange..."

"Have you taken any medicine?" I asked anxiously, the appearance of this little woman was not very good. The young man nodded and said: "Because I was thinking about her, I came back early. Seeing her like this, I went to the neighboring village and invited the doctor to come and have a look. The doctor gave me two pills and told me to take one at night and one tomorrow, and I'll be fine." ...It turned out that it was okay without taking the medicine, but after taking the medicine, it looked like this." "Show me the medicine!" As I spoke, I put my hand on the woman's pulse and began to feel the pulse.Immediately, my brows twitched, the pulse - but something is really wrong, this little woman is pregnant, not sick, why is the pulse so weak?

Ordinarily, since a woman's conception, her pulse should be huge and round, like a bead rolling on a jade plate, shouldn't it be so weak?Unless this little woman is going to have a miscarriage, to be honest, I really don't know much about gynecological symptoms.Because of this thought, cold sweat broke out on my head-the so-called yin and yang, it means that you have a child, and those who fight yin fight with your hands; Agitating Huali is not an evil vein at all.Covering yin and seeing yang, but there is no harmony, it is said that yin beats yang, and it is the pulse of pregnancy.

But if you see the yin in the yin, what is it?A line of words on the meridian of green sac meridian suddenly jumped into my heart: seeing yin in yin is called evil disease. "Doctor, how are you?" the young man asked anxiously. In a split second, I didn't know how to explain it to him, but at this moment, the young man hastily took the pill left by the doctor during the day and brought it to me.I took it and smelled it, yes, it is indeed a medicine to protect the fetus and calm the nerves. Instead, I prescribed the medicine to protect the fetus, and it is also here-at most, it is just an extra decoction. "Doctor, doctor—" Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, the young man couldn't help but asked anxiously. "What's the smell?" I sniffed my nose twice and asked, a strong smell of blood, with a peculiar fishy smell, rushed into my nostrils. The young man seemed to know that something was wrong, so he was busy uncovering the quilt, and at a glance, the little woman's lower body was dripping, and the quilt had been dyed red. Seeing this, I stomped my feet and shouted, "Midwife, is there a midwife around here?" "Yes—" the young man said anxiously, "Aunt Hu will deliver the baby." "Go and invite Aunt Hu over here, and I'll boil water for you." I said anxiously, I have never even touched a woman, when have I ever seen a child?However, I still know that boiling water is necessary to give birth to a child. Seeing this, the young man didn't dare to delay even a little bit, and ran away.I was worried that the mountain road would be difficult, so I hurriedly turned on my flashlight, put it in his hand, and told him to hurry up, otherwise this little woman would be in danger. The young man grabbed the flashlight and ran out, and I also started to boil water under the stove... I was just thinking about finding someone to stay overnight, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing and help out with odd jobs temporarily. It's really funny when I think about it, but when I think about the appearance of that little woman, it's really not good.Although I didn't say it just now, I understand in my heart that this little woman's child will probably not be kept. The pulse condition is yin with yang, yin and yang are harmonious, it is the pulse of pregnancy, if it is yin with yin, this little woman must have been blown by yin during pregnancy, causing a miscarriage... Of course, if it is another possibility that I doubt in my heart, it will be even worse. It is recorded in "Qianshu·Lianggong": "The abdomen is big and empty, or the birth is not human, which is commonly called a ghost fetus." If this little woman is really pregnant with a ghost fetus, something is not good.Although there is a treatment method for the ghost fetus recorded in the Qingsang Sutra Supplementary Technique, I don't have enough medicinal materials in my hands now, and I am really powerless. Fortunately, the young man took only a moment to pull a middle-aged woman in her fifties into the room, and I hadn't finished boiling the water yet. "Doctor, doctor—" the young man shouted anxiously. "I'm here, the boiling water hasn't been boiled yet, let the midwife see your daughter-in-law quickly!" I said anxiously. In fact, I don’t need to say it, the midwife has already hurriedly walked inside, and after a while, the midwife shouted: "How could this happen, this... this is a miscarriage! Didn’t I see the chrysanthemum a few days ago? Is it? Dayou...Dayou, hurry up and scoop up some hot water..."
