Qiu Wuhen had already raised enough tailwind flags, so he would not go too far. He nodded, put the copper coins on the table into the cash box, and took out the golden needle to prick the target's acupoints.

The opponent's acupuncture point flashed in his eyes, reminding him of the location, and the golden needle automatically entered his body as soon as it approached. A trace of white air from the gourd of Chinese medicine in his mind passed through his hand and flowed into the golden needle, entering the opponent's acupoint.

The whole process went smoothly and basically you didn't have to put in any effort on your own.

Immediately after the golden needle entered the body, Tie Yaozi gasped and screamed: "Oh, it's sore! Numb! Swelling! But it feels so comfortable, so comfortable. Hey, why doesn't it hurt anymore?"

This time, Qiu Wuhen was sure that the white qi of the traditional Chinese medicine gourd in his mind could indeed greatly enhance the effect of acupuncture. No wonder the acupuncture pain relief given to the sick woman just now had an immediate effect.

When I was studying Chinese medicine in college, I remember that an old professor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture once said frankly that Chinese medicine acupuncture can only have a significant effect on mild pain, and the prerequisite is that the acupuncture points must be selected correctly and the techniques must be used correctly. However, for moderate and severe pain, just

It is difficult to have an obvious analgesic effect, which is why clinical acupuncture is basically not used for surgical analgesia.

Both the sick woman just now and Tie Yaozi now were in severe pain, but acupuncture on their own had remarkable effects. This was obviously due to the magical white gas exhaled from the medicinal gourd.

The pain stopped, the golden needle was pulled out immediately, and the whole process was completed in a blink of an eye.

Tie Yaozi was so happy that he kept moving his chin and said: "It feels good, it doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt at all. That's great, thank you, Qiu Langzhong, you are the real miracle doctor. By the way, I just said

As I said, I will forgive you ten cents of debt as a thank you gift. However, after I take this injection, will I not have any more toothaches in the future?"

Qiu Wuhen shook his head: "In fact, the root cause of your toothache is not in the teeth. This is why the pain did not stop even after your tooth was pulled out. I just acupuncture the acupuncture points, but it can only temporarily relieve the pain. To cure your toothache, it must be completely cured.

Your disease itself. So you have to take medicine."

"Then what's the reason for my toothache?"

"You want to know?" Qiu Wuhen looked at him coldly, her voice cold as she hadn't completely recovered from her previous anger.

"Well, I've had a toothache for ten years. I've never heard of anyone having a toothache that lasts so long. What's going on? Can you tell me?"

"Okay, twenty cents!"

"Ah? Why?"

"Because it takes a lot of words to explain your illness, why don't you drink tea to soothe your throat if you have a dry mouth? This is just a small tea fee. Twenty coins will allow you to figure out the cause of the disease that you have been unable to cure for ten years. It is not expensive, right?

?”

"But shouldn't the doctor explain clearly to the patient what the disease is?"

"Of course you should, but I told you, your disease is toothache."

"I know this."

"That's it. I've made it clear to you that your disease is toothache. As for why you have toothache, it involves very profound medical principles, and these principles are called knowledge. If you want to learn knowledge, you should pay, just like

You go to school to study and learn culture, shouldn't you give your husband a gift?"

"...Okay, you are right. Twenty cents is just twenty cents, and it will be deducted from the debt owed to me."

"No! You have to pay in cash to learn knowledge, and you can't pay off debts." He said, reaching out and shaking it.

He looked like he was determined after eating the weight, and there was no need to discuss it.

Tie Yaozi had no choice but to nod, took out twenty coins, put it on the table, and pushed it to Qiu Wuhen.

He was willing to go all out. Anyway, the last time he went to the county town to see Dr. Kuang for a toothache, he took out a hundred coins at a time, but it was not that effective. This time he only charged ten coins, even if he asked for another twenty coins to explain the symptoms.

The money is not too much. I have been suffering from toothache for more than ten years. No matter how I treat it, I can't cure it. Even pulling out the tooth has no effect. He really seems to understand the reason, even if he can't understand it.

Listen to it too.

Qiu Wuhen originally wanted to tease him a few words to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he was quite honest and actually willing to spend twenty coins to understand.

He glanced at his small pile of copper coins and asked Yao Gulu in his mind: "Can you tell me the cause of Tie Yaozi's toothache?"

The medicine gourd shook twice, and a few lines of words appeared.

Qiu Wuhen glanced quickly and roughly understood what was going on. After all, he also studied medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine still have many similarities, but the causes and treatment methods of diseases are different, making it easier to draw parallels.

At that moment, Qiu Wuhen looked at him and said, "Have you ever heard of the trigeminal nerve?"

"San Sha, um... he must be the third oldest fool. I don't know how crazy he is. Is he a human being? A person named San Sha?"

"Forehead……"

Qiu Wuhen didn't know how to explain what neurosis was to a person from the Ming Dynasty. He didn't bother to think about it. Anyway, it would be more troublesome to make a four-dimensional resemblance. Let's explain it first. If you don't understand, you won't understand. These medical principles have not even been learned.

Modern people who have had medical experience may not be able to fully understand it, let alone ancient people.

"The trigeminal nerve can be understood as the meridian on the face. It comes out from the side of the ear and bifurcates into three strands. One strand passes through the orbit, one passes through the upper jaw, and the third strand passes through the lower jaw, so it is called the trigeminal nerve. Your toothache is not actually a problem with the tooth itself.

It's because the trigeminal nerve on this side of your face is diseased and causes severe pain. So even if you pull out the tooth and the trigeminal nerve disease is not cured, you will still feel pain, because it is not toothache, but neuralgia. You are ten

I have been treating toothache for many years, but of course there is no way to cure it, so this is the reason why it cannot be cured. Do you understand?"

Tie Yaozi looked confused and shook his head.

It's like a chicken talking to a duck.

For the ancients, it is estimated that traditional Chinese medicine is more reliable. Qiu Wuhen decided to use the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge shown in the medicinal gourd to explain: "There is a medical book called "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Diseases", have you heard of it?"

As the saying goes, a doctor can become a doctor after a long illness. Tie Yaozi still knows some medical skills. This medical book is very famous and is one of the main references used by doctors to treat diseases. Of course, he has heard of it and nodded immediately.

"There is a sentence in this medical book called..." Qiu Wuhen began to recite the words on the medicinal gourd, "'The tendons of the three yangs are connected to the jaws and cheeks, and are clamped in the mouth. If the yangs are attacked by wind and cold, then

Tension. 'Cold is a yin evil, and its nature is stagnant. The yin-cold invades the head and face, and blood stasis blocks the veins, so the pain in the head and face recurs..."

Tie Yaozi looked miserable.

Qiu Wuhen had only read half of it, so he had to stop and push the twenty cents back: "I told you that you don't understand. If you insist on listening, it will be a waste of money. Forget it, if you don't understand, you won't be charged, and the money will be returned.

for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Qiu, you are such a good person." Tie Yaozi quickly collected the money and put it back into his purse while smiling, "Actually, I roughly understand. Does it mean that my disease is not toothache, but meridian pain?"

, the meridian pain on the face, as long as the meridian pain is cured, the toothache will not hurt, right?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Then can you cure my pain in my three...sansi meridian?"

"No problem, it can be cured."

"How much is the total? I can't afford too much money. I still hope to collect the debt and go back to buy food, oil and salt to live by. Although the whole family is not old enough to lift the bottom of the pot, we are seeing the end of the year and we have to save some money to buy new year's goods.

no?"

Qiu Wuhen knew that their Mingshan Village was located deep in the mountains and lacked fields, so most of the villagers lived below the subsistence line and did not have enough to eat all year round. They had to use some wild vegetables, rice bran and the like to maintain their food supply.

Life has been almost as miserable for a year. Although Tie Yaozi's life is relatively better in the village, it is only relative. Life is also relatively difficult, so Qiu Wuhen will not ask for exorbitant prices for medical treatment.
