Chapter 13: Blood-Stealing to Extend Life (1)

“Yun Ye went to the Yiguo Gong Mansion and heard that he was going to use his blood-stealing skills again.” Emperor Li Er was bored and was playing with a jade bracelet. He said to the empress, who was combing her hair.

“Does Your Majesty have any thoughts on observing?”

“There are countless strange and ingenious techniques in the world, often concealing their ulterior motives with devious tricks. Blood-sucking to prolong life? Hmm…”

“That’s different. In the Longyou army, the Marquis of Lantian once performed a miracle and saved a life. This is a fact that is hard to deny. I heard that his current bodyguard was saved by him. His military power is no different from that of ordinary people. Cheng Qian told me that it was true, and there were more than one or two people who saw it with their own eyes in the army.” The empress said slowly.

“In that case, I’ll go and take a look. I haven’t seen Shubao for a long time, so I’ll go and visit him.”

I don’t understand! Yuchi likes to capture enemy generals, and he grabbed Yun Ye like a chicken and carried him under his arm. He walked quickly to the back hall. The sweat glands under his arms exuded a strong odor that penetrated Yun Ye’s brain. Oh my god! If you have body odor, don’t just put people under your arm, okay? He strongly suspected that the enemy general he captured alive was not killed by being caught, but was killed by being smothered alive. When he got there, he threw the man to the ground, and his feet were numb.

There were four generals sitting on the bed, drinking around a small table. Qin Qiong was still wearing a fur coat in the room. There were three braziers on the ground, and the room was filled with smoke and fire. Not to mention that he was sick, even a good person couldn’t stand it. His weak body and fear of the cold formed a vicious circle. The colder it got, the more braziers he used to keep warm. The more braziers he used, the more carbon monoxide there was in the room. The blood quality was already poor, and the oxygen quality was poor, so he inhaled more gas. It’s good, it’s good, drinking a little wine and eating meat again can live to the tenth year of Zhenguan is a miracle.

After bowing to the elders, he turned to Qin Huaiyu and ordered him to remove all the braziers in the room and open the windows and doors to ventilate the room. Seeing Qin Huaiyu’s reluctance, he pushed him aside, opened the windows and doors, threw the three braziers outside, and then threw the wine pots and meat trays of the older brothers outside. Little Qin was stunned and at a loss. The old brothers were worthy of their reputation for having survived the sword and fire. In the face of sudden change, they still looked at Yun Ye smilingly without changing their expressions or beating their hearts. They did not speak or stop him.

“Huaiyu, please ask your aunt to come out. I have some medical advice to give you.” Ignoring these old farts, they are pure bad friends. Could it be that they are afraid that Lao Qin will not die quickly enough? Outside, the servants and maids were in a mess, busy cleaning up the overturned brazier, smashed wine jugs and dishes. They couldn’t understand why such a rude guy would dare to stir up trouble in front of the five state ministers. I’m afraid even the emperor wouldn’t do this to these gentlemen.

Old Cheng winked at Li Ji and said, “What do you think? The kid I like has a bit of a temper, doesn’t he?”

“He has a temper, but if he can’t name one, two, or three things, I’ll show him how to clean up his act. He dared to mess with our business, he’s got a death wish.”

Li Jing smiled and didn’t say anything, Yuchi Lao was dumbfounded, and Lao Qin seemed to be thinking.

Not long after, Mrs. Qin hurried over, seeing the mess on the floor and wondering what had happened. Yun Ye went up to greet her.

“Aunt Qin, I came to see my uncle for a medical consultation, but I didn’t expect to see the scene I least wanted to see. Several things that are harmful to my uncle’s health just happened to be all over. My uncle’s body can’t stand the smell of fireworks. There are three braziers in this room. Alcohol and meat will increase the burden on the body. My uncle is weak and can’t take it anymore. Please remember, Auntie.”

Mrs. Qin had heard about Yun Ye’s medical skills, and when she heard this, she nodded quickly. Then she looked at Qin Qiong’s friends with a somewhat resentful look.

Old Qin touched his nose: “I’m just a little sick, kid. Are you exaggerating?”

“My nephew discovered the other day that your uncle should have aplastic anemia, weak, dizzy, a slight headache and fever, and he is bedridden, and it is not easy to get better. In the spring, everything is flourishing, and the spirit will be much better. In the hot summer, he will be drowsy all day long. sleep, and the autumn days will be less severe. The winter is the hardest time, unable to taste food, unable to sleep peacefully, feeling as if a stone is pressing on your chest, and even breathing is difficult. And you actually burn braziers, drink strong spirits, and eat meat in large mouthfuls. Isn’t this treating life like a game? Yun Ye said one sentence, and Mrs. Qin nodded her head once. When she got to the back, she was so scared that her face turned white. Yun Ye was right.

“Master.” Just as she said that, tears came down. Old Qin was at a loss, and several of his friends were also embarrassed.

“I called you here to treat my brother, do you think there is a cure for anemia?” Old Cheng asked Yun Ye to change the subject.

“Wait for my nephew to examine you carefully.”

Please ask Lao Qin to lie on the couch, take out his cell phone to check the time, feel his pulse, which is very rapid. It may be because he has just finished drinking. His pulse is 120 beats per minute, which is obviously insufficient blood supply to the heart, and the burden on the spleen is also very heavy. These common sense things are not difficult for him.

He then listened to Qin’s heart and lungs with a stethoscope. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a blood pressure monitor, but if he had, he would have found that his blood pressure was very low and his heart and lungs were weak.

It’s a problem. He is indeed anemic. I told Qin Huaiyu to raise Lao Qin’s feet and lightly prick the soles of his feet with silver needles. The blood is black and the oxygen supply is insufficient.

“Uncle has been drinking today, causing a pulse disorder, but I can already tell that he is severely anemic. This is related to the fact that he was injured too much in his early years, and his body’s hematopoietic function has weakened, causing him to be both blood and qi deficient. He needs long-term rest, and today’s events cannot be repeated, otherwise even if I were a fairy, I would be helpless.”

He solemnly warned Lao Qin that his body was not his to do as he pleased, and that the habits he had developed in his early years of drinking large bowls of wine and eating large mouthfuls of meat must be resolutely abandoned.

Lao Cheng was delighted and grabbed Yun Ye’s hand and said, “So my brother’s illness can be cured?”

“Uncle Cheng, it’s not easy to make up for the losses of the early years. My nephew can only treat the illness by tonic food and medicine, first of all, to improve your uncle’s health, then to cure the illness. Here are two tonic food recipes. Huaiyu, please take note. First, red dates and lotus seed soup: soak ten red dates in hot water, remove the seeds from two taels of lotus seeds, preferably red lotus seeds, simmer over low heat, add a little sugar, three bowls of water to make one bowl, drink the soup and eat the red dates and lotus seeds, once a night. The second is immortal porridge. Take one or two Chinese yam roots, boil them until they are thick, then remove the residue. Boil the same amount of glutinous rice and five red dates together. When the rice is soft and the dates are cooked, it is ready to eat. On weekdays, it can be used for breakfast. I will find the right ginseng and make pills.

“Kid, from what you’re saying, it sounds like your brother is suffering from a lack of blood flow,” said Old Cheng.

“That’s exactly what it is.”

“Why don’t you just draw blood for my brother? Why go to all this trouble? Zhuang San Ting stopped drawing blood from the Qiang people and is still alive and well, isn’t he?”

He couldn’t explain to Lao Cheng that Zhuang San Ting had no choice but to give blood directly. Lao Qin had a problem with his own body, and his body was not producing enough blood. A blood transfusion would not solve the problem.

“Kid, don’t worry about not having enough blood for my brother. There are plenty of death row inmates in prison. It’s not a problem to get a few of them out!” Yun Ye always felt that the eager-to-try old idiot Yuchi was not trying to cure Qin Qiong, but to see how to draw blood from people.

“Dear uncles, blood transfusion is indeed the fastest and most effective way. Now, unlike Zhuang Santing, Uncle Qin’s own hematopoietic function has declined. After a blood transfusion, he will lose blood a second, third, and fourth time. This is the last resort, and it should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.”

“Just tell me, how many days will I feel better after a blood transfusion?” Lao Qin was really fed up with his illness and didn’t want to be sickly for another day. It’s true that a general who is invincible in battle should not be allowed to stand unsteadily, walk slowly, drink no wine, eat no meat, and touch no weapons. It would be better to kill him than to let him spend the rest of his life like an old man who is trembling and unsteady.

“Six months, maybe less.”
