Human nature is that you should be pregnant for ten months and give birth as soon as possible.

Counting the days, it was almost a month ago. However, many changes occurred during this period of time. Cao Ji jumped over the dragon gate and suddenly became a supervisor with a rank of six hundred stones.

This huge change made the whole family a little confused! Afterwards, Cao Peng and Deng Ji were busy looking for a house and tidying up their residence, and inadvertently ignored this important event.

The distance from Longshan to Xudu is not that far.

It was just that the bumps along the way were so severe that Cao Nan couldn't hold on as soon as he got out of the car.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan carried Cao Nan towards the mansion, but as soon as they reached the steps, Cao Nan cried out in pain, and her voice was particularly sad.

Dong Xiao also rushed over from behind at this time. When he saw this situation, he quickly shouted: "Don't touch her, put her down quickly, put her down!"

But the problem is, it's cold on the steps and there's not even a mat.

Cao Peng ran to Cao Nan, pointed to the concierge behind the gate and said: "Go in first, go in first... hurry up and ask Mrs. Wen to deliver the baby!"

But where can I find Wen Po in this short period of time?

Dong Xiao said: "It looks like it's too late! Aunt Hong, madam, come and help. Let's stabilize the situation first."

"Yes, yes, let Anan lie down first."

Everyone was busy, some went to boil water, and some went to hold the mattress.

The area of ​​the concierge is not large, but it is enough to be used as a temporary delivery room. A simple bed is covered with a thick layer of mugwort...

In the Central Plains, mugwort has the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

Whenever they move into a new house, people like to visit some wormwood in each room to drive away the evil spirits in the house. There are a lot of wormwood piled up in the gatehouse. Someone took the mattress from the car and spread it.

On the mugwort, and then helped Cao Nan lie down.

Cao Nan kept whining in pain, and Dong Xiao was also a little helpless.

The reason is very simple, he is a man... In these days, there were no men to deliver babies, and most of them were women.

But the problem is, Po Wen didn't come.

Dong Xiao could only try to ease Cao Nan's pain, and at the same time kept urging.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Hong have both given birth to children, so they have more or less experience.

They couldn't drive Dong Xiao out. After all, Po Wen hadn't come over, and they still needed Dong Xiao to stabilize Cao Nan's condition. Cao Nan cried out in pain, and Mrs. Zhang was also a little helpless. Cao Peng wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Hong.

, and kept pushing it out.

"Your sister is giving birth, what are you doing here? Go out quickly and see if Po Wen is here."

"Mom, Po Wen will come when she should. I'm here and can help..." Cao Penner was a little confused when he heard Cao Nan cry out in pain. After all, this is his sister in this world. Although

Cao Peng and Cao Nan didn't have much emotional exchange, but the same blood flowed in their bodies. Cao Peng wanted to help Cao Nan, but right now, he didn't know how to help.

"When a woman gives birth to a baby, how can you, a man, help?"

"Afu, please go out...you will get bad luck if you stay here."

Cao Nan also endured the pain and persuaded Cao Peng to go out. But before she could finish her words, she screamed again.

Cao Peng scratched his head as he walked out. Suddenly, he tripped over the mugwort placed at the door, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Mr. Dong, use moxibustion!"

"ah?"

"Use moxibustion!"

Mugwort has been recorded as early as "Mencius": if you are sick for seven years, you need three years of moxa.

But the real use of mugwort was first recorded in detail in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty.

The leaves of moxa moxa are used as medicine. They are warm in nature, bitter in taste, non-toxic, pure yang in nature, open the twelve meridians, have the functions of restoring yang, regulating qi and blood, removing dampness and cold, stopping bleeding and relieving fetus. Therefore, it is also called a medical herb.

Materia Medica records that mugwort leaves can be used for moxibustion, warming the uterus, and removing cold and dampness.

Cao Peng had not read the Compendium of Materia Medica and did not know much about the specific effects of mugwort.

But when he was a child, he often saw his father using moxibustion at home. Once, when Cao Peng was on a mission, he saw his sister-in-law in a mountain village about to give birth, but the doctor had not arrived yet. The local old man used moxibustion to treat the disease.

The sister-in-law temporarily settled down and waited until the doctor arrived to deliver the baby, and the mother and daughter were safe. In other words, does this mugwort have a certain anti-fetal effect?

Dong Xiao turned around in shock, not knowing what to do.

His medical skills are indeed not bad, but after all, he has too little experience and his adaptability is not very good.

Moxibustion?

Does this work?

At this time, Cao Peng had already been pushed out of the concierge.

He had no choice but to shout loudly outside the door: "Mr. Dong, use moxibustion, moxibustion..."

"how to use?"

Cao Peng closed his eyes and tried to recall the moxa-moxibustion method used by the old gentleman in his previous life, and then said it loudly. Dong Xiao hesitated and looked up at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Hong. He stood up and stood up from the pile of mugwort.

Pull out the moxa leaves and quickly roll them into the shape of moxa sticks.

"Ma'am, how about... give it a try?"

"Then let's try it."

Now that things have happened, Mrs. Zhang is also seeking medical treatment for illness.

However, there was another reason why she agreed. Cao Peng had studied with a sorcerer for a year, and God knows what he had learned. During this year, Cao Peng had brought too many things to his wife.

Surprise. Maybe the method he mentioned actually works.

Dong Xiao soon lit up the moxa stick.

And according to the positions mentioned by Cao Peng, he started to use moxibustion.

Cao Peng couldn't explain the reason, he could only tell the approximate position. But that's enough! One thing is clear, all things are clear... Dong Xiao is Zhang Zhongjing's disciple after all. There are certain acupuncture points at certain positions, and which acupoints have what

He knew very well what it was used for.

Outside the concierge, Deng Ji looked pale.

"Anan, hold on!"

He murmured in disinterest, appearing anxious.

Others also gathered at the gate. Cao Ji and Wang Meng kept wandering, looking at the concierge from time to time. Guo Yong stood aside, not knowing how to persuade. He had not been in Cao's house for a long time, so many things were involved.

He doesn't talk. Moreover, he really doesn't know how to handle a woman's birth.

"Why hasn't Po Wen come yet?"

"It will take some time to come from Sirish."

"How could I forget this...last month your siblings accompanied Anan to see Mr. Xiao from Huichun Hall and reminded him that it was only for these few days! He was so busy with moving these days that he unexpectedly

Forgot about this matter. If I had known it earlier, I would have talked about it after Nan was born."

Cao Ji kept blaming himself, and Wang Meng could only comfort him in a low voice.

At this moment, I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from outside the gate.

Wang Mai got off his horse, helped a chubby Wenpo down from the horse, held her arm, and walked towards the mansion.

"Wen Po is here, Wen Po is here!"

The fat woman was panting and her face was pale.

She was packing her things at home when Wang Mai unexpectedly barged in and dragged her over without saying a word.

This young boy didn’t explain anything along the way, he just galloped away. Fortunately, there weren’t too many pedestrians on the road at this time, otherwise I don’t know how many people would have been injured. I thought... Wen Po had been widowed for many years, and she was killed by such a hot-blooded person.

The young man walked all the way, feeling a little worried.

"You, a young boy, don't know what to do.

To deliver a baby, you always need some soothing medicine and a lot of things to prepare. If you pull me over, I will also need helpers."

As Po Wen spoke, she walked into the concierge.

After a while, Dong Xiao came out with a red face and stood at the gate, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Dong, Nan, she..."

"Uncle and grandson, don't worry, my wife's condition is very good. Po Wen is here now and is busy inside with the two ladies. She will be fine."

Dong Xiao was talking and suddenly looked towards Cao Peng.

"Afu, how do you know that mugwort has such effects?"

"This..." Cao Peng's eyes rolled, and he immediately replied: "I saw it in a book."

"what book?"

Dong Xiao suddenly became interested, "Can you lend me a copy?"

"This... I'm not stingy, it's... I saw that book when I was in Jiyang. Later, as you know, my parents were arrested and we lost a lot of things. We were only focused on escaping at that time.
