Chapter 167 Light
In the title system of Yu State, the imperial brothers and princes are all named princes of the country;
The son of the crown prince, the king of the county;
The son of the prince, the successor is the heir king, the other sons are the county princes, and the one who advances with kindness is the county king;
Invade the king of the county, heir to the king, and become the Duke of the country.
Li Chenghe, the king of Changxiang County, was the second son of the third brother of the first emperor, and was originally the Duke of the county. Because he saved the life of Emperor Yu Li Shun in a disguised form when he was young, he was promoted to a rank and was named the king of the county.
The king of Changxiang County, Li Chenghe, usually lives in Xingning Fang, and had no intersection with Li Ang before.
If you want to say that you have met once, it must be traced back to the Shangyuan period, when the clan representatives and the new nobles went to Daming Palace to meet Emperor Yu together.
The reason for Li Chenghe's sudden visit is also very simple, to treat illnesses.
"Le Ling has also grown up."
Wearing a purple robe, Li Chenghe, who was thin and yellow-faced, barely sat on a chair with the support of his guards, and smiled weakly and ingratiatingly at Li Ang, "Please forgive me for my sudden visit as an old man. "
"No problem."
Li Ang was not used to talking with clan nobles, so he said bluntly, "Why don't you let me see the condition first?"
Li Ang is already a well-known little medicine king in Quanyu Kingdom,
If it wasn’t for his status as a disciple of the academy and the order issued by Emperor Yu that ‘no idlers should be disturbed at will’,
I'm afraid that people who come to visit and seek medical treatment every day can line up from the West Market to the East Market.
Because the foundation of surgery is immature, Li Ang can’t actually perform a real large-scale surgery, so every once in a while, he will take time to secretly go to Chang’an Ward,
See what you can do yourself.
"Thank you Mr. Li Xiaolang."
Changxiang County King Li Chenghe nodded and accepted Li Ang's physical examination.
His situation is indeed not optimistic, it can even be said to be extremely bad.
Jaundice, ascites, emaciation
After some physical examination, Li Ang's complexion gradually became serious, and the disease was locked in the liver.
He used percussion, palpation and scratching and auscultation to listen to unvoiced sounds, determine the upper and lower boundaries of the liver, and measure the upper and lower diameters of the liver.
Pointing to Li Chenghe's right rib, he asked, "Does it usually hurt here?"
"Yes. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn't hurt. It's just a recent thing. When it hurts, the whole right shoulder and right back hurt like hell."
Li Chenghe noticed the expression on Li Ang's face, and forced a smile, "Li Xiaolang, this disease"
"Lie down on the table first."
Li Ang greeted the guards, moved a long table, and asked people to help Li Chenghe lie down on the table, let him bend his legs slightly, take a deep breath,
I touched the lower edge of Li Chenghe's right rib.
Lumps.
There is a clear hard lump on the hand.
Li Ang's expression changed slightly, and various information flashed in his mind.
Mild hepatomegaly is seen in viral hepatitis and toxic hepatitis;
Moderate swelling is seen in congestive hepatomegaly, extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, bacterial liver abscess, schistosomiasis, etc.;
Severe hepatomegaly, seen in primary or metastatic liver cancer, polycystic liver, etc.
Considering that the liver is hard, there are nodules of different sizes on the surface, liver tenderness and percussion pain, conductive pulsation in the liver area, jaundice, spider nevus, liver palms, ascites, and significant weight loss in a short period of time.
Li Ang took half a step back, shook his head heavily, "Sorry."
Liver cirrhosis, liver cancer.
Cirrhosis of the liver is caused by disordered tissue structure and liver dysfunction. Even in a foreign world where medicine is highly developed, there is no cure. Only early detection and prevention of disease progression.
And now it has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer, and the cancer is too large to be cut.
"Is it."
Changxiang County King Li Chenghe lowered his eyes slowly, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to come from another world, "Little doctor, how did this disease cause it? How long do I have?"
"The most likely cause is drinking too much alcohol, drinking unclean water, or being exposed to poison, etc."
Li Ang said: "As for the time, it may be three months, or it may be half a year."
"That's it."
Li Chenghe showed a bleak smile on his face, and slowly got up from the long table, "I understand, please trouble Mr. Li Xiaolang. Three months is still a lot of time, and I can still arrange some things."
With the support of the guards, he went down to the ground, cupped his hands at Li Ang, then straightened his clothes, and went out slowly.
Li Leling went out to see him into the carriage, looked at the back of the carriage driving away, with a complicated expression, and said softly: "I heard from Aye before that when Uncle Cheng He was young, he was the most physically fit among the children of the Li clan of his generation. , The most suitable for physical training and martial arts.
Just because his father made some mistakes when he was young, he was not qualified to embark on the path of cultivation. "
“.”
Li Ang remained silent. If he was in another world, he would definitely encourage the other party to be positive and optimistic, and use all methods to delay the disease and improve the quality of life.
But here there is no immune ribonucleic acid, interferon, interleukin-2, thymosin, radiation therapy, chemical drug treatment,
Saying those words is just deceiving yourself and others.
It is better to tell the truth and let the other party fulfill their wish to take good care of their family members in the final stage of life.
Li Ang waved his hands somewhat disinterestedly, and returned to the mansion.
Li Leling packed up his things a little, then hurried back to the Daming Palace to pass the news to his parents.
The lively atmosphere for many days dissipated, and only Chai Chai and Li Ang were left for dinner.
After eating, Chai Chai went to study,
Li Ang sat beside the bed in the bedroom, lost in thought.
Changxiang County King Li Chenghe will die of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by excessive drinking, and his age has far exceeded the average life expectancy of Yu State.
More Yu people died of various accidents and diseases before reaching his age.
Li Ang made an estimate, even if he holds a doctoral degree after graduating from the academy, he will gather manpower in a planned way to develop Yu State medicine.
In his lifetime, it is absolutely impossible to advance the medicine of Yu country to the level of another world.
Not to mention the level of modern medicine in another world, even the modern level is still far away.
"It's too difficult."
Li Ang stared at the faintly glowing candle in the oil lamp, and said with a bitter voice, "Polio, filariasis, schistosomiasis, Kaschin-Beck disease, leprosy"
As a disciple of the academy, he can enjoy the resources allocated from all over the country.
He lives in a mansion in Jinchengfang,
The people they associate with are either imperial princesses, descendants of nobles, descendants of wealthy merchants, or rising stars of the Ministry of War.
When it’s cold, you can write talismans to keep warm, and when it’s hot, you can use cool breeze talismans to cool down.
Occasionally, I want to cook and wash dishes by hand, but I can also do it with my mind, without sweating even a drop.
Unknowingly, I have become a monk who is literally "unstained by dust".
But, what about the rest of the world?
Of the 40 million people in Yu State, probably only 10% are living a prosperous life.
The rest are either exhausted for their daily livelihood, have no time and power to change the status quo,
Or simply live near the poverty line, struggling to survive,
Even oppressed by bankruptcy, hunger, disease, evil officials, etc.
He thought of the little flower shop girl with rotten eggs that he saw during the day,
Under the shadow of the sun, in the corners that they cannot see, how many people are still struggling to survive.
Squeak—
The bedroom wooden door was gently pushed open, and Chai Chai walked in quietly, stood beside Li Ang, held his head in his arms, and gently stroked Li Ang's hair with his palm.
The master and the servant cuddled up to each other, as if they had returned to the time in Yunzhou.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Haotian bell sounded outside the window at night.
"Master,"
Chai Chai’s voice came from above his head, “Bad people don’t feel guilty, only good people do.
What you do is good enough. "
".Um."
Li Ang smelled the familiar scent on Chai Chai's body, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and smiled at the little maid, "I'm fine, thank you."
"hey-hey."
Chai Chai smiled embarrassedly, and suggested: "Then do you want to have some more dinner? I feel like I wasn't full just now."
"Okay. By the way, take this."
Li Ang picked up the special pen and paper on the table, wrote Zhang Yanfu, and handed it to Chai Chai.
Perhaps because Mosi has evolved to the fourth stage, Li Ang's control over the aura has also improved a lot, and the flame talisman he wrote is stronger than before. One can set the fire on fire and heat up dinner.
"Um."
Chai Chai took the flame talisman to the kitchen to heat up dinner, while Li Ang sat by the bed, thought for a while, and took out the dark lotus of suffering.
This lotus-shaped alienated object can detect bad luck in the future, and theoretically can detect fatal diseases.
I don’t know if there are similar alienated objects with wider effects in the Dongjun Building of the Academy, which can assist me to promote the development of Yu State’s medicine.
Just as Li Ang was thinking, the petals of the lotus in distress that he held in his hand suddenly closed,
Like a sunflower, it points to the east.
