Chapter 1916 It Is Food
"The little inkstone is poisoned? What is a ghost potato?" Gu Jinli asked as he rushed into the house and took his medicine box: "Come on, take me to take a look."
"It's a poison that grows underground. It's rare. I didn't expect it to be found on Changliang Mountain." Qin Sanlang took the medicine box, took Gu Jinli's hand, and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
After Qin Sanlang got on his horse, he pulled Gu Jinli onto the horse's back and ran towards the pharmacy tent.
A lot of people had gathered outside the pharmacy tent. Dou Chengzi, Bao Fukang and other relatives' children were all surrounding the tent, waiting anxiously.
Wen Rong was kneeling outside the tent... It was all his fault. He didn't want to harm Xiao Yantai. He was just angry that Xiao Yantai took Mrs. Qin's words as an imperial edict. As soon as he found Guimingshu, he was like a treasure and kept asking questions. He, what is this? Is it food or a life-saving medicinal material?
He was tired of being asked, so he replied to Xiao Yantai: "Don't you know how many you have eaten?"
Xiao Yantai saw that the ghost potato looked a bit like a sweet potato. After hesitating for a while, he actually ate it, but something happened.
Xiao Pingxi was in the pharmacy tent and cried worriedly: "Xiao Yantai, don't die, my second aunt is coming soon, she will definitely save you, woo woo woo..."
Xiao Yantai had a terrible stomachache. She was curled up with nausea and vomiting. She had to take the time to say her last words to Xiao Pingxi: "Ooooooo, brother Pingxi, don't cry, vomit... If I die, after you see my father, Tell him...I like him very much...I'm not angry at all that he lost me...vomit..."
"Xiao inkstone, stop talking. If you talk anymore, you will vomit to death... No, no, you won't die. My second aunt will definitely save you!" Xiao Pingxi wiped his tears and knelt down next to the small inkstone, crying. .
Ye Dakou also said: "Little inkstone, be obedient and stop talking."
The little inkstone nodded and stopped talking, but kept vomiting.
After a while, he opened his mouth wide and kept inhaling. However, he was getting more air out than in air, and it became difficult to breathe.
Ye Dakou was shocked and hurriedly shouted outside the tent: "Is the smelly potion here?!"
"Come on, come on!" Several soldiers who studied medicine with Ye Dakou rushed in with wooden buckets and added a batch of smelly potion. It was smelly and fishy, and the smell of it made people sick.
Ye Dakou: "Give it to him."
Xiao Yantai thought it was urine and didn't want to drink it, but he had difficulty breathing and had to rely on his mouth to breathe and had no mouth to speak at all.
The soldiers hurriedly scooped up the smelly water in the bucket and poured it into the small inkstone.
Ye Dakou was afraid that the little inkstone would be choked to death, so he asked him to lie on his back in his arms, gave him a place along his throat, and said to the soldiers: "Fill!"
After the soldiers drank a gourd of stinky water, they hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"
He used his hands to move the small inkstone from his neck to his ribs, so that the air could fall into the little inkstone's lungs, so that the little inkstone would not suffocate to death.
But Xiao Yantai was young, and the symptoms of poisoning were more serious, and the symptoms of dyspnea were getting worse and worse.
There was no other way, so Ye Dakou could only transfer Qi to the small inkstone according to the Qi transfer method mentioned by Guo Jinli.
After taking three breaths, he immediately ordered the soldiers: "Continue to pour the smelly water."
The soldiers quickly poured another ladle of smelly water into the small inkstone.
When Gu Jinli came in, he saw that the small inkstone had been filled with water until his belly was slightly bulging. He immediately said to Ye Dakou: "Put him upside down on your knees and let him spit out the water."
"Hey." Ye Dakou hurriedly followed the instructions, turned the small inkstone over, and hit him in the stomach with his knee.
Wow~
The small inkstone spat out a puddle of water.
"Give him a breath, then fill him with water, and continue to induce vomiting." Gu Jinli said, feeling the pulse of the small inkstone with one hand, and scooping up a handful of smelly water to drink.
Ouch, the water was so fishy that she almost vomited it out.
The water was only filled with vomiting stink, not the antidote.
"Little fish, swishy mouth." Qin Sanlang's heart twitched, and he quickly took off the sheepskin water bag he carried with him and fed it to her mouth.
Gu Jinli drank a few sips of water and asked Qin Sanlang: "Where is the ghost potato? Have you brought it back? Bring it to me."
Qin Sanlang took a look at the pharmacy tent, locked eyes on one person, and said: "Xue Dazhen, bring the ghost potato!"
"Yes." Xue Dazhen is a soldier from Tianfu County's military post. Now he is studying medicine with Ye Dakou. He hurriedly went to get the ghost potato: "Master Qianhu, don't touch it with your hands, for fear of poisoning."
Qin Sanlang nodded, took the box containing the ghost life potato, handed it to Gu Jinli, pulled out a knife, and pulled the ghost life potato: "This is it, little fish, don't touch it, tell me what you want to see. , I will turn it over for you with a knife."
Gu Jinli was shocked when he saw the ghost potato... This thing looked like a big yam, with brown skin and white heart, but it was not a yam, but very similar to the cassava of later generations. When he got closer and smelled it, it had a unique smell of cassava. As soon as it hit her nose, she was sure that this was cassava.
Dachu actually has cassava!
Cassava was a highly productive crop in later generations, but there is a toxin in cassava, hydrocyanic acid, which can cause poisoning if not handled properly. In severe cases, people can die.
"The little inkstone is poisoned by cassava." Gu Jinli said, closed his eyes and thought for a while. After coming up with a similar blood-purifying and detoxifying prescription, he dictated it to Qin Sanlang and wrote it down.
After Qin Sanlang wrote the prescription, she said: "Let someone grab the medicine, stir-fry the medicinal materials, then rinse them with boiling water, add them to the smelly water, and pour it into the small inkstone to drink. This will induce vomiting and remove more toxins." "
Nowadays, there is a rush to take medicine, and boiling medicine takes too much time. Stir-frying dried medicinal materials and boiling water is the fastest way to get the decoction.
"Okay." Qin Sanlang immediately ordered Xue Dazhen: "Grab the medicine, grab a few more pairs, stir-fry one pair and rinse it with water according to the method Madam said, and boil the others according to the old method."
"Yes." Xue Dazhen hurriedly went to grab the medicine.
Gu Jinli is already injecting acupuncture into the small inkstone, mainly in three places, the face, neck, and head... Cassava toxin will enter the human central nervous system, causing nausea, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. Injecting the acupuncture points in these three places can relieve the pain. If the toxin enters the central nervous system and vomiting is induced in time, the person will not suffocate to death.
They worked hard for half an hour and finally rescued the little inkstone.
"The little inkstone is fine, don't worry." After Gu Jinli felt the pulse of the little inkstone, he smiled and said to Xiao Pingxi and the others.
However, the little inkstone was forced to vomit, and the stomach suffered, so it had to be taken care of for a year and a half.
Xiao Pingxi pointed to the little inkstone lying in Ye Dakou's arms, eyes closed and motionless, and said, "Then why isn't the little inkstone awake?"
Speaking of the last two words, there was a cry in her tone... My mother was asleep and couldn't wake up at first, but after a while she started to stink.
Gu Jinli wiped his tears and said with a smile, "Don't cry. Xiao Yantai was so tired that he fell asleep. He will wake up at night at the latest."
Xiao Pingxi looked up at Gu Jinli: "Really?"
Gu Jinli nodded heavily and said, "Of course it's true. When did Aunt Gu second lie to you?"
and……
She pointed at the ghost potato and said: "Actually, this is not a poison, but a kind of food. Soak it in water for a few days to remove the toxins, then cook it and you can eat it."
