Chapter 004 The Ghost Fetus

　　The sky is getting dark, Hansheng lit up the oil lamp, ready to pick the lamp to read at night. 　　The big yellow dog barked again, the courtyard came the sound of rapid footsteps. 　　Hansheng busy hiding the scriptures to welcome out the door, is a sweaty middle-aged man, remembered that yesterday came to seek medical treatment of the maternal family. 　　"Dr. Zhu asked me to come and get the medicine." The man panted, holding a post-it note in his hand, a list of medicines that Pops had prescribed. 　　"What, haven't you given birth yet?" Chanson asked. 　　"Trouble, is not born, also dare not send to the hospital, more than ten miles of mountain road for fear that the mother-in-law can not stand." The visitor reddened his face, tears are about to come out. 　　"Good, you wait a while, I'll go and grab the medicine." Hansheng took the list and quickly dispensed the medicine, and in a moment, he grabbed all the medicine and carried it out of the room. 　　"I'll go with you." Hansheng said, he was worried that his father's body couldn't handle it and wanted to go and help. 　　The two left the house in a hurry, leaving the big yellow dog to watch the house. 　　This to the maternal home need to walk seven or eight miles of mountain road, good thing the moon is bright, the mountain road is clearly discernible, walk up also fast. The man on the way to the maternal situation said a rough. 　　Maternity is the second child, the day before yesterday at noon to deliver food to the field, fainted in the mountains of a valve in a barren cemetery, since then has been unconscious, and the amniotic fluid rupture, the symptoms are like labor. Dr. Zhu arrived, used a lot of methods, has not been able to let the mother wake up, the fetus has entered the birth canal, but just do not show the head, the whole family is anxious. 　　Less than an hour, they have rushed to the farmhouse. Grass hut is surrounded by a dark piece of bamboo forest, the house is lit with oil lamps, from time to time there are figures in front of the window swaying. 　　Entering the door, Hansheng saw Pops with dark circles under his eyes, leaning wearily on a bamboo chair, seemingly much older overnight. 　　"Pops." Hansheng heart sour, a moment speechless. 　　"Ghost fetus." Father whispered. 　　"What?" Hansheng was startled. 　　"Maternity fainted in the graveyard, must be Yin Qi invaded the mother's abdomen, resulting in nerve disorders and prolonged labor, if this continues, I'm afraid that ...... Alas, you first go to boil the medicine." Father sighed. 　　Ghost fetus? Hansheng came to the stove room, while decocting the medicine, he searched. 　　The Yin Qi in this graveyard can be powerful enough to suppress the midday Yang Qi and come out to harm people, this can indeed be a bit fishy. I used to hear my father talk about the role of Feng Shui on human physiology, and this time it seems to be true. 　　Looking at the bubbles rolling in the pot of medicine, these ordinary herbs are useful? According to his own observation, father is also no practical grasp. 　　Hansheng secretly smiled, "Qing Nang Jing" has a party specializing in treating ghost fetuses, why don't I give it a try? Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and tried to recall the composition of that prescription. 　　The scripture said, the evil yin invades the fetus as the ghost and propulsion, with half a day of the river as a guide, that is taken from the head of the bamboo hedge or empty tree hole in the aged water, live earth dog three, remove the wings and feet into the half a day of the river water decoction, a dose can be eliminated. 　　Hansheng jumped up, picked up the flashlight on the table, and secretly found an empty bottle, and then on the pretext of relieving himself slipped out of the grass house, to the bamboo forest behind the house. 　　He thought of the bamboo forest behind the house must have cut down the bamboo piles, the bamboo piles cavity accumulated rainwater, is not a half-day river? The earth dog, the scientific name of mole crickets, summer and fall in the ground is a lot, catch it a few should be easy as a slap in the face. 　　Sure enough, did not go far, in the flashlight, found a few bamboo stakes, due to the felling time has been long, the inner area is full of yellowish-brown rainwater, the water there are dozens of tsetse swimming. Chansen filled a small bottle, it should be enough, the next step is to catch the earth dog. 　　Hansen walked around in the bamboo forest with a flashlight, but he didn't even see a shadow of an earth dog. The dogs themselves are not like crickets that chirp, so they can't be caught by sound, and can only be found with the naked eye. 　　Hansheng all the way to the depths of the bamboo forest. The path in the forest is curved and cramped, under the flashlight, there are crickets, tengniu and other insects jumping over the road from time to time, and occasionally you will find one or two toads crawling slowly, their eyes are red. 　　Without realizing it, Hansheng walked further and further, and had already left the bamboo forest. In front of him was a small piece of flat dam, there were quite a few fireflies flashing green awns flying around, the distant mountains looked confusing under the moonlight, out of nowhere a white mist floated in, gradually dispersing along the ground. 　　"Prickly la ......" slight sound, a small black spot from the head swept over, flying toward the fog, earth dog! Chansheng knew that mole crickets were born with wings and could fly briefly, he hurriedly chased after them. 　　The earth dog landed, and Chansheng pounced. The fog is hidden, in front of the ground cracked a crack, a large group of black earth dog in the crack in and out constantly ...... 　　Hansen was delighted, tiptoeing close to the prey, was about to start the moment, suddenly a slight movement in the heart, feel a little bit not quite right, stopped and looked around, suddenly realized that this is actually a valve of barren graveyard. 　　In front of me is a new grave, the grass on the grave is only inches long, a piece of thin stone in front of the grave, the moonlight is vaguely recognizable, engraved is the name of the deceased: Shen cauliflower's grave. There is no time on it, there is no monument to the name of relatives, strange, the husband's family will not be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb, but buried in this barren hill, according to local custom, this woman must be a strange death. 　　By the way, here is not that maternal fainting place. That valves of the barren cemetery, Yin Qi invaded the mother's abdomen and the formation of ghost fetus place? Although Hansheng has not yet seen a person alone, but the general pathology is still a little bit of knowledge. Usually, the pregnant woman's body defenses are very fragile, all kinds of external wind and cold evil poison is very easy to invade the mother's body, the impact on the fetus, the graveyard of heavy yin, pregnant women should be completely avoided close to. 　　Where the poison, within a few feet will be restrained. The laboring woman, by this cemetery yin qi injury, the ideal is to be close to find out the restraining things to counteract, thousands of years of the essence of Chinese medicine, is not the five elements of the phases of life, balance of yin and yang it? 　　Hansheng figured out, searching for this group of earth dog is not exactly that Yin Qi's restraints? The words of the Qing Nang Jing are not far from the truth. 　　At this moment, the cracks in the land next to the grave, a black gas slowly penetrated the ground, covering Hansheng. 　　Inside the grass hut, Dr. Zhu paced around the room, Fang had already poured the decocted medicine into the mouth of the woman in labor, and was now waiting to see what the result would be. This little Hansheng said to relieve himself, the decoction of medicine a throw, until now not come back, it seems that this child does not have the qualities to become a doctor, their own successor ah! 　　Just as I was thinking, there was a shout from inside the house, "Dr. Zhu, come and see!" It was the anxious voice of the mother's husband. 　　Dr. Zhu rushed into the inner room, surprised to see the mother's naked lower body in non-stop convulsions, the skin appeared on the point of green bruises, bad, that is the subcutaneous capillary rupture, how can this be? How could this happen? I have never encountered such a situation before. 　　In a pinch, Dr. Zhu drew out the silver needle, and at the same time even stab the mother's sea of qi, the sea of blood, Keimen and yin valley four major points, and heavy-handed twisting needle. A few moments later, the maternal convulsions gradually stopped, but the subcutaneous bleeding points are still increasing, Dr. Zhu sweating. 　　The black corpse gas surrounded Hansheng and was continuously inhaled by him, but Hansheng was unaware of it, and was only concerned about catching the earth dogs that were scattering and drilling in all directions. With his quick hands and eyes, he had already caught three or four of them, then tore off the wings and thin feet of the dogs and threw them into a glass bottle with half a day's worth of river water in it. 　　Hansheng did not know that last night, when he was unconscious on the thousand-year-old tomb, there were dozens of White Tassel fungal threads drilled into his body through his nostrils. The millennium white beard is the world's most poisonous red corpse gas nemesis, the area of ordinary black corpse gas does not matter, I am afraid that Hansheng's body from now on will never be afraid of any corpse gas. 　　Just at this moment, Hansheng's ears seemed to hear a long hoarse sigh. It was a familiar voice, and as he stood there, a fresh breeze brushed by, and in his ears was the soughing sound of the bamboo forest treetops swaying. 　　Maybe it was an illusion, where would there be people in a deserted grave in the middle of the night, he thought. 　　Hansheng grabbed the bottle in his hand and returned along the original path with great interest, and in a short while, he had seen the three grass huts. 　　There was no one in the stove room, and the empty medicine jar was on the potting table, probably the medicine had already been decocted and brought in. Hansen poured out the dregs of the medicine in the jar, poured his glass bottle of half a day's worth of River Chen water and earth dog into the jar, and put it on the stove to decoct. 　　Hansheng self-satisfiedly went into the inner room, see inside has been busy, the original maternal will drink all the medicine spit out, scattered a bed. 　　"Hansheng, quickly go and decoct another jar." Dr. Zhu caught a glimpse of Hansheng, not bothering to scold him, he hurriedly ordered. 　　"Oh, got it." Cold Sheng answered and retreated to the stove room to watch his pot of medicine. 　　There was something odd about that graveyard, as Chansheng looked at the hyenas in the medicine jar that kept tossing and turning as the water warmed up, something red and wispy floated up, the bodies of tsetse, which were the larvae of mosquitoes. Where had that long sigh been heard? Did it come from the cracks of the grave? No, how could a dead person let out a sigh? Besides, the name of the deceased was Shen Caiflower, but that voice was clearly a man ...... 　　"Hansheng, is the medicine ready? Hurry up and bring it here." His father's call interrupted Hansheng's reverie. 　　Hansheng drained the medicine into a bowl and carefully brought it into the house. 　　The woman's lower body was already full of bleeding spots, bruises and swellings under the skin, and she was already dying. The woman's husband held her head in his hands and squatted in the corner, whimpering. 　　Dr. Zhu peeled open the woman's mouth, Hansen gently blowing cold spoon in the soup, slowly poured in. After a bowl of medicine was fed, Hansheng retreated to the stove, and threw the dregs of the medicine jar of the hyena outside the yard. 　　Qing Nang Jing, I hope you can save this dying woman, Hansheng's heart was silently praying. 　　In a matter of moments, Dr. Zhu was surprised to find that the bruises on the woman s body were gradually fading ...... 　　Hansheng stood in the courtyard, tilting his face up to look at the night sky, the stars were dotted, the Milky Way was hazy, there were meteors crossing the sky, leaving a long tail. 　　Back then, the divine doctor Hua Tuo probably also stood at the door of his cell, looking at the shooting stars in the sky, lamenting his helplessness of not being able to fulfill his ambition before his life was over with in a sad and compassionate mood. 　　"Wow!" The sound of a baby's first cry came from inside the room. 　　The sound reached Hansheng's ears like fairy music, he jumped up and rushed into the house like a gust of wind. 　　Looking at the father's relieved face and the maternal husband's sobbing with joy, Cold Sheng couldn't help but burst into tears as well. 　　"It's a girl." Father said. 　　The woman in labor was half leaning on the head of the bed, gladly holding her newborn baby, she did not know that she had experienced a nine deaths. 　　"Thank you, Dr. Zhu, you saved the mother and daughter!" The man thanked him repeatedly, not bothering to wipe away his tears. 　　"That was close!" The father sat at the table and said to Hansheng while drinking tea. 　　When Hansheng saw his father's happy face, his own heart was also very happy. 　　''The Green Bag Sutra, you really didn't fail me ah.'' 　　"Hansheng, what are you laughing at?" Father looked at Hansheng somewhat strangely and said. 　　"Nothing, Pops, I suddenly felt that when a doctor saves a dying patient, there is actually an indescribable joy in his heart." Hansheng sighed heartily. 　　"Yes, that's why it's called 'hanging pots to help the world', it's a pity that you don't learn it by heart. Alas, I see our Zhu family's ancestral medical skills to my generation is also considered to be over!" Father sighed. 　　Not necessarily, may be better than blue than blue! Hansheng thought in his heart. 　　That night, Hansheng father and son stayed at the woman's home. 　　Dr. Zhu, who had labored for two consecutive days and nights, was really tired, and soon after he went to bed, he was already snoring. 　　The bright moonlight came in through the window, and Hansheng kept his eyes open, not at all sleepy. 　　In the future, his own destiny would be changed by the Green Bag Sutra.
