Chapter 148 Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain

The little girl in bloom is lying on the ground and letting the dog jump over her. Doesn't this make Zhou Taohua feel embarrassed?

"The black dog must jump from the shoulder seven times, otherwise it won't work!" shouted a woman nearby.

Another woman bumped Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law with her elbow and said, "Look, I didn't jump from the shoulder last time, so it won't work. This time, let your peach blossom endure it and finish dancing."

Bai Ruozhu was really curious, so she leaned over and asked softly: "Aunt Zhou, what are you doing?"

Zhou Deshun's wife saw Bai Ruozhu coming over with the child in her arms, and hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Ruozhu, come here for a visit. After the dance, let's go inside and talk."

Seeing the relaxed look on Zhou Deshun's wife's face, Bai Ruozhu thought that it might not be a serious matter, so there were so many people that she didn't ask any more questions.

The dog jumped from Zhou Taohua's shoulder twice more. After the woman next to her agreed, Zhou Taohua stood up from the ground with great effort and walked towards her yard with a red face, but it was very difficult to limp under her feet.

Peach Blossom Girl hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and Zhou Deshun's wife also pulled Bai Ruozhu into the yard.

"Sister Peach Blossom's leg is injured?" Bai Ruozhu became more and more confused as he looked at it. Has she become stupid? I can't understand it at all.

"Peach Blossom has a big blister at her feet. She can't walk because of the pain. The old people in our village have a saying that she can be cured by letting the black dog jump from her shoulders seven times." Zhou Deshun's wife took Bai Ruozhu's arm and said. road.

Bai Ruozhu's mouth opened wide when she heard this. She couldn't digest this matter at all. If there was something wrong and she could use a local method to apply some incense burner ashes, she could still understand. But letting a dog jump from the shoulder seven times could cure the disease?

This is simply feudal superstition!

Zhou Deshun's daughter-in-law didn't notice Bai Ruozhu's surprise and continued: "A few days ago, Taohua's mother asked the dog to jump over her, but she said it didn't go over the shoulder, so it's not healed yet. Today it jumped, and in a few days Lets see."

"Didn't you go see Dr. Li?" Bai Ruozhu asked, her jaw about to drop in shock.

"It's not good for girls to show their feet to men. Taohua's mother won't allow it. We have always used this old method to treat them in our village." Zhou Deshun's wife explained.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but cover her forehead. How could she be so miserable as a woman? She couldn't even see a doctor when she was sick. If it was serious and fatal, her life would be in jeopardy.

She glanced at Zhou Taohua in front of her and saw that Zhou Taohua was walking very hard. She looked very serious. Aren't they worried that Zhou Taohua's legs would be ruined?

Bai Ruozhu felt that something was really going to happen to this flower-like girl, and she couldn't bear it, so she called out to Taohua and her daughter.

"Aunt Dehai, I know some medical skills, otherwise let me show it to Sister Taohua. I'm a woman and it doesn't matter." After Bai Ruozhu finished speaking, she saw the two people turned back to look at her, but there was not much agreement in their eyes. She hurriedly said He said, "I don't know how many days it will take for the dog to be effective after it jumps. It's not a solution if you are in such pain. Don't you want to get better as soon as possible?"

Bai Ruozhu had no choice. The earthy methods believed in in the village had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If she directly criticized those earthy methods, it would arouse everyone's dissatisfaction. So she could only change her words tactfully.

"Then let Ruozhu take a look at you, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable." Zhou Dehai's wife was indeed shaken, and asked Bai Ruozhu to go to the back room, and then helped Zhou Taohua take off her shoes and socks.

When Bai Ruozhu saw that Zhou Taohua was in severe pain even when she took off her socks, she knew that it must be serious. These people actually expected the dog to jump a few times to heal itself. It was so stupid!

Sure enough, when she saw Zhou Taohua's feet, she couldn't help but take a breath of air. Oh my god, these feet are swollen like pig's trotters and you still don't want to see a doctor?

Looking at Zhou Taohua's feet, there was a big blister, which was already slightly green, and it was obviously filled with pus.

"Did Miss Peach Blossom's foot be punctured by something?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

"A few days ago, I went to the fields to deliver food, and I felt a pain in my feet. When I came back, I was afraid that I would step on something unclean, so I soaked my feet in hot water. As a result, they blistered the next day. They were very small at first. , I didn't expect it to get louder and louder these days." Zhou Taohua said, her voice didn't even think it was louder.

"How many days has it been? There is pus in your bubble. If it is not released, it will continue to hurt. In severe cases, it will cause fever and even coma." Bai Ruozhu became more and more angry as he looked at it. He suppressed his anger and spoke patiently. .

Zhou Taohua was so frightened that she almost cried, "Then, what should I do? I've let the dog jump twice, why can't it be better?"

Peach Blossom Girl comforted her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, maybe it will take effect tomorrow."

They wanted to rely on this method to be effective. Bai Ruozhu was also drunk. She wanted to roar and say to them: "It's weird that it works!"

Finally, Bai Ruozhu calmed herself down a little, and softened her tone and said: "The earthly method of Gou Tiao Jian may not be useful for everything. If the peach blossom girl's injury is delayed any longer, there will be problems with this leg. Don't you think so now?" Do you feel some pain in your thighs?"

Zhou Taohua nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the pain is from the calf to the thigh. What should I do? Will I become a lame?"

According to Western medicine, the white blood cells in Zhou Taohua's body must have exceeded 10,000. She had inflammation in her foot but it was not treated. The pus was always trapped in it. It would be strange if it did not affect the entire leg.

"It's still too late for you to get treatment now. If it's delayed for another two days, I'm not sure what will happen." Bai Ruozhu said.

Taohua Niang looked at Bai Ruozhu hesitantly and asked, "Can you cure Ruozhu? Are you really sure?"

Bai Ruozhu was very unhappy when she asked this question. As a doctor, she didn't like people questioning her abilities. But she thought about it. She was only seventeen years old and had never learned medical skills before. She suddenly said that she could cure diseases, so it was okay for others not to trust her. Understandable.

"I didn't save Xi Dan'er from drowning last time? And Wang Laidi almost had a miscarriage. Did I tell Dr. Li how to save her?" Bai Ruozhu was dedicated to saving people, but she didn't want to hide her clumsiness anymore.

These words were very convincing, and Peach Blossom nodded her head after hearing this, "Yes, yes, why did I forget about this? If I had known, I would have gone to find you a few days earlier, and my Peach Blossom wouldn't have to suffer this."

Taohua looked at Bai Ruozhu with eyes full of excitement. She took Bai Ruozhu's hand and asked, "Sister Ruozhu, how can I cure my blisters?"

"First break the blisters and let out the pus, otherwise there will be pus inside and the inflammation will not go away. Then apply medicine on the feet, and you have to drink a few doses of medicine, otherwise the pain in the legs will not go away." Bai Ruozhu patiently said .

"Ah?" Taohua was afraid of pain and started crying after hearing this, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid of pain. How painful would it be to burst such a big bubble?"

Bai Ruozhu rubbed his forehead and explained in a lighter tone: "The flesh on your feet is now numb. It won't hurt if it is broken. The layer of skin is also dead. What needs to be removed will grow back soon." New skin and flesh. It’s just that the application of the medicine will be very painful, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. If you bite your teeth for a few times, it will get better later. Do you want to suffer from such pain every day? "

——

This blistering on the soles of my feet was experienced by a certain person, and I had to take fluids for three days. It was so miserable. It felt so good when I used alcohol red medicine to break the pustules. My screams could be heard on the whole floor... …Remember before the bubble burst, I asked the doctor if it hurt? She said applying the medicine would be painful. I asked if it would be more painful than giving birth. She said there are different pain methods...Of course, I think giving birth is more painful...
