Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 465 Fresh Use

Song Ying looked at the snake in his hand, and seemed to have just realized Mr. Xu's fear, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's dead, it won't bite you. This is a good thing, your illness needs it."

As she spoke, she looked at everyone in the room and asked, "Do you have a knife? I want to cut open a snake's gallbladder."

While she was speaking, the other people in the room finally reacted and helped Master Xu up. Master Zhang asked questions worriedly.

The frightened Master Xu felt a little better when he heard that it was a dead snake. But he felt that he had lost face and dignity just now. He was a tall and strong man, but he was frightened into a disgrace by a snake.

He turned to a maid standing beside him and scolded, "How did you do your job? There was water on the ground and it caused me to slip."

The maid of the Chen family was obviously well-trained. After a brief shock, she knelt down to apologize, "This servant deserves the punishment. I accidentally missed it when I was cleaning."

"Get out of here!"

The maid stood up, bowed again and left.

Master Xu felt that he had finally saved some face, so he pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you doing by cutting open the snake gallbladder?"

Song Ying grinned, "Of course it's for you to eat."

Master Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The little doctor is too enthusiastic. Just leave this matter to the people in the kitchen."

"No, snake gallbladder does not need to be cooked, it must be consumed fresh."

"Fresh, freshly eaten?!" Master Xu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard. He pointed at the snake and said, "You're going to eat it after you cut it open? This is snake gall, not a vegetable."

Song Ying nodded, thought for a moment, and then added seriously, "Just rinse it with clean water after you cut it out."

Master Xu stayed where he was.

Song Ying did not give him more time to accept it. She looked at the remaining maid standing in the room and said, "Sister, please help me get a knife and some clean water."

The maid agreed and went out. After a while, she came back with a knife and a basin of water. Song Ying took out the snake gall bladder neatly, put it in the water and shook it, then picked up the gall bladder and handed it to Master Xu, "Eat it while it's fresh."

Mr. Xu's face turned pale, "Do you really want to eat it?"

"I know you'd like to accept it, but good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. How can your illness be cured if you don't take it?" Song Yingwen was serious and patient in persuading the patient.

Master Zhang was very convinced by Song Ying, and he also advised: "Yes, Master Xu, just eat it, everything is for the purpose of curing the disease."

"This, I..." Master Xu was so panicked that he couldn't help but look at Doctor Ma, "Old doctor, you must be the uncle of the little genius doctor, right? Do I really have to eat snake gall? Is there no other way?"

In the mind of County Magistrate Chen, he deliberately emphasized that Song Ying was the apprentice of Doctor Lin and also mentioned her relationship with Doctor Ma to increase credibility, so Mr. Xu was very clear about their relationship.

Doctor Ma was very unhappy when he heard him teasing his own nephew just now. Before he could open his mouth to stop it, Song Ying had already taken action to deal with it. He did not say anything and just watched silently.

At this time, facing Master Xu's eyes that looked like he was looking at a life-saving straw, he said vaguely with a serious face: "Black snake gallbladder is a good thing, it is time to use it."

In fact, the gall of the black snake can only help Mr. Xu with his illness. His illness is caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, dampness, phlegm and qi stagnation. The main effects of the gall of the black snake are to dispel wind, clear away heat, resolve phlegm, and improve eyesight, and it can play a role in resolving phlegm.

For his illness, we directly used Smilax glabra and Fritillaria cirrhosa, which can not only resolve phlegm, but also disperse nodules and promote blood circulation.

Mr. Xu had never studied medicine, so he naturally didn't know the ins and outs of this. After hearing what Doctor Ma said, his last glimmer of hope was shattered. He looked at the black snake gall and his scalp began to tingle again.

Song Ying was very considerate and careful: "If you are not used to chewing raw meat, just swallow it directly, it won't be so uncomfortable."

Master Xu felt even more uncomfortable and was reluctant to take the snake gall.

Song Ying urged seriously: "Hurry up, it won't be fresh in a while. One bite will make you feel uncomfortable for a while. If you don't eat it, the disease will not be cured. By the way, are you married? Do you have children?"

After hearing this, Master Xu finally took the snake gall with trembling hands. He was already married, but had no children. Several of his concubines had gotten pregnant before, but they all miscarried for unknown reasons. If this disease could not be cured, he would have no descendants.

He looked at the snake gall in his hand, hardened his heart, opened his mouth wide, and put it in. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt the fishy smell was particularly strong, rushing straight to the top of his head, and he subconsciously wanted to spit it out.

Song Ying hurriedly said, "Don't spit it out. Swallow it. If you spit it out, you'll have to find fresh snake gall."

Master Xu had to hold it in desperately, tilting his head back and stretching his neck to swallow. The snake gallbladder didn't look big, but it was still big enough for him to swallow it whole. He choked so much that his nose and tears came out, and he wanted to vomit several times.

After a lot of trouble, when he finally swallowed the snake gall, he felt like he had survived a disaster.

"Once is new, twice is familiar. This time is difficult, but it will be easy later. It is best to use two fresh snake gallbladders a day. I believe that with Master Xu's ability, it will not be difficult for him to find two black-necked snakes every day. If possible, take another one today."

"Is there still food?" Master Xu's face turned pale again.

Song Ying nodded, "Of course, there is no disease that can be cured by taking medicine once."

Master Xu was dumbfounded. This was true, but it was too painful!

Song Ying ignored him and looked at Doctor Ma, "Master, have you felt my pulse? Let's discuss the prescription."

Doctor Ma pinched his beard and nodded, "Mr. Xu's condition is not very serious. There is only a round lump in his left chest, which has lasted for half a year. Later, he also had symptoms of restlessness, insomnia, and sore waist and knees."

Song Ying nodded. "His pulse is also different from Master Zhang's. Master Zhang's pulse is stringy and rapid, while his is thin and fine..."

Master Xu listened to Song Ying and Doctor Ma talking about the symptoms and pulse with a bitter face. He did not realize that there was anything wrong with Song Ying asking him to take snake gall after only feeling his pulse and not knowing the specific symptoms.

After some discussion, Song Ying and Doctor Ma decided on Liuwei Dihuang Decoction combined with Muxiang Liuqi Drink with modifications, and also discussed the ingredients and dosage of the Sanjie Paste for external application.

Then ask them to send someone to accompany them to the clinic to get the medicine. As for the ointment, it will not be prepared until later.

When Song Ying reached the door, he kindly reminded him again, "Master Xu, don't forget to send someone to find the black-necked snake.

Also, you need to control your lower body and pay attention to sexual intercourse, otherwise the condition will worsen and the treatment time will be extended. It’s not bad now because it’s hot and it’s easy to find black-necked snakes, but it will be difficult to find them in winter when the snakes hibernate.”

Master Xu's face turned even paler. He swallowed snake gall until winter! He is not going to let people live!

When he thought of the string of snake gallbladders waiting for him, he felt a fishy smell in his throat again. He couldn't help it and bent over to retch.

"Take good care of Master Xu." Master Zhang instructed the maid who brought the knife and water, then smiled and said to Song Ying and Doctor Ma, "I'll take you out."
