Chapter 33 Acupuncture

Dingyuanhou Mansion.

As soon as Gu Luo got out of the car, he was led into the inner courtyard by the woman who had been waiting at the door of the outer courtyard early in the morning.

Instead of going to the main house, I went directly to a side courtyard where my aunt lived.

The smell of medicine was very strong in the room. The aunt was leaning on the bed sickly. When she saw Gu Luo coming in, she probably wanted to say hello, but after opening her mouth, she didn't have much energy to speak, so she could only face Gu Luo.

Made a laugh.

It looks like there is less air coming in and more air coming out.

After taking a deep breath and taking a noseful of the medicinal smell, Gu Luo frowned and stepped forward.

There was a maid standing beside my aunt's bed. The maid was dressed resplendently and her face was rosy. "Medical Officer Xu said that Miss Gu Er is very skilled in medicine and asked Miss Gu Er to save our aunt."

His voice was pitiful, and there wasn't a single tear in his eyes.

Gu Luo glanced at her, said nothing, and reached out to take her aunt's pulse.

This aunt looks to be in her twenties or less than thirty years old. Her skinny wrists are all separated from each other. She is afraid of the cold, has metrorrhagia that has been dripping for half a year, and has pain in her navel and abdomen (jiao three times), and her blood is red.

There are no blood clots..."

As Gu Luo was talking, his body suddenly stiffened.

When she was taking a pulse, her aunt's other hand suddenly stuffed something into her other hand that was placed on the bed.

Like a small strip of cloth.

His heartbeat suddenly jumped, and Gu Luo looked towards his aunt.

My aunt half-closed her eyes and leaned there weakly, as if every time she took a breath it took a lot of effort.

Gu Luo frowned, closed his hand that was taking pulse, held the small piece of cloth in his palm, stood up and walked to the table, opened the medicine box, "Let's do acupuncture first to get rid of the cold."

As he spoke, Gu Luo reached into the medicine box to get the silver needle and dropped the small piece of cloth into the medicine box. There were two words on the piece of cloth: Go quickly.

The color is bright red, as if it were written in blood.

Gu Luo's heart, which was already beating a little fast, jumped into her throat.

What's the meaning?

Why tell her to leave quickly?

Gu Luo carefully recalled the aunt's pulse condition. It was indeed uterine bleeding. Although the degree was a bit serious, it was not hopeless. The smell of the medicinal soup in her room seemed to be symptomatic, but she was...

He looked like he was about to be buried.

Gu Luo's heartbeat was pounding, wondering what the aunt meant when she sent these two words.

Go quickly.

What will happen if you walk too slowly?

As Gu Luo took out the silver needle, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Could someone want to take this aunt's life and then put the blame on her?

She couldn't think of anything else but this, but as a doctor, she couldn't just watch the patient die without doing anything.

Gu Luo turned back with the silver needle and said to the maid next to her: "My aunt is afraid of the cold. Can you please put a brazier in the room when you apply the acupuncture?"

Gu Luo said it politely. The maid glanced at Gu Luo and then said with a smile: "Of course, I'll have someone prepare it right now."

As she spoke, she did not move. She just turned her head and shouted outside, "Prepare the brazier."

Just as she turned her head, the aunt suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed Gu Luo's hand, and said quickly with her chapped lips: "Let's go!"

Her eyes were full of anxiety.

However, after the maid's voice fell, all her movements and emotions had been completely covered up, and she still looked like she was about to die. She was leaning there with her eyes closed, and her hand on the bed was slightly bent, a distance away from Gu Luo's hand.

far away.

The maid glanced at her aunt and then at Gu Luo, and finally said to Gu Luo: "Can our aunt's disease be cured?"

Gu Luo just said: "When the brazier comes, let's try acupuncture first."

The maid said nothing else.

The brazier seems to have been prepared early in the morning, otherwise how could the weather in June have arrived so quickly.

Gu Luo pointed to someone and put the brazier next to the bed, then stood up and placed the silver needle on top of the brazier to burn it.

While it was being roasted, she blocked the maid's view with her body and quickly threw the piece of cloth in her hand into the charcoal fire.

As soon as the tongue of fire licked it, the strip of cloth immediately disappeared into ashes.

In just such an instant, the maid had moved her position. She stood from behind Gu Luo to in front of Gu Luo, staring at the movements in Gu Luo's hands, "What's the use of baking silver needles like this? I've always done this before seeing Dr. Xu."

Burn it with a candle."

Gu Luo smiled and said nonsense: "Of course it needs to be burned with candle fire. Roasting it will wake up the needle."

Seeing that the strip of cloth disappeared completely, Gu Luo took the silver needle and wiped it with a handkerchief soaked in wine, burned it on a candle, and then sat down in front of his aunt.

"I'm going to prick the Sanyinjiao point on the calf. Don't be nervous, it won't hurt."

Gently rolled up his aunt's trousers to expose the acupuncture points. Just as Gu Luo was about to inject the needle, his aunt suddenly trembled. Gu Luo didn't look at his aunt. Just as she was shaking, Gu Luo turned around quickly and saw the maid next to her.

He stared at the aunt with cold eyes.

The maid may not have expected that Gu Luo would suddenly turn around. She was startled, and the chill on her face froze there. She licked her lips and took a breath, "What's the matter? Miss Gu Er?"

Gu Luo shook his head, feeling a thrill in his heart.

For a condition like my aunt's, she must use the mountain-fire acupuncture method. After using this acupuncture method, my aunt will definitely sweat all over her body and her sweat pores will open.

And the medicinal smell in this room must contain aconite.

Aconite can indeed be used as medicine to treat metrorrhagia if used properly. However, with such a strong smell of aconite and a dying patient, if the sweat pores open, the aconite gas will enter the body along with the sweat pores.

Ordinary people would not be in danger, but this aunt's body could not withstand it. She was afraid that she would die from aconite poisoning.

Moreover, just now the maid said how good Dr. Xu was with the acupuncture. Does that mean that Dr. Xu also gave the aunt acupuncture?

Is there such a strong aconite smell in the room when the acupuncture is being performed?

Does this mean that the injection she is administering now will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back?

So Dr. Xu asked her to come.

So the aunt asked her to leave quickly.

Does the aunt know that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone with a borrowed knife?

Gu Luo averted his eyes and glanced at his aunt, took a deep breath, pinched his aunt's calf, and steadily inserted the needle.

Maybe it was because the environment in the room was too quiet. The moment she put in the needle, she even heard a soft sigh from the maid behind her.

Breathing?

Do you think it’s a sure shot?

The silver needle penetrated three-thirds of the way into the skin. Gu Luo fixed the needle there, then got up and walked to the window.

The maid immediately followed nervously, "Whatever the second young lady wants to do, just tell me to do it."

Gu Luo smiled and said: "Open the window for ventilation. The smell in your house makes me uncomfortable. It takes half an hour to apply the acupuncture. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
