Li Ang's confusion did not last long. He coughed lightly, turned to Guan Lishu and asked: "Aunt, do you have any cloth at home? No silk, just ordinary linen and cotton. And scissors."

"Everything is available."

Guan Lishu nodded, turned and walked into the back room. After a while, she came over with a piece of linen and a pair of scissors.

Li Ang asked Guan Lishu to put the linen cloth and scissors on the stone table in the courtyard, then he picked up the scissors and cut out a triangular piece of cloth.

Under the curious eyes of the family of three, Li Ang picked up one end of the cloth, passed it around the back of the child's neck, and lowered it to the chest. The other end was pulled down under the child's arm, and wrapped with the vertical line of the triangular cloth, which had just completed the dislocation recovery.

arms, and finally tie the two ends of the triangle cloth together.

This is how the fracture triangle is completed.

Li Ang took a half step back, observed the effect, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "This triangle towel needs to be worn for a week. During this period, the child's arms can no longer be stretched and can bathe and sleep normally. Remember to put the triangle towel on when moving.

"

He rambled on and gave a lot of medical advice to Pu Liuxuan and Guan Lishu. He also told them to drink boiled water as much as possible in the future and not drink raw water.

When she had finished talking, Guan Lishu carried the groggy child back to the house, leaving the master and apprentice in the courtyard.

"Zi Liu."

Li Ang, who had a dry mouth, took a sip of the already cold tea. I have to say that the taste of Qujiang slices is indeed good, mellow and rich. No wonder it is so expensive. Two small cans are estimated to cost four to five hundred yuan.

It seems that we have to find a way to return Aunt Song's favor...

"The sun is rising."

Pu Liuxuan's voice interrupted Li Ang's thinking.

"Sir, please tell me."

Li Ang put down his tea cup and sat upright.

Pu Liuxuan asked casually: "Where did your bone trauma skills come from?"

coming.

Li Ang felt something in his heart. The orthopedic trauma skills of doctors in this era were quite limited. It was impossible for him to say that this was a family skill.

He cleared his throat and said what he had already prepared, "It was learned by the disciples themselves."

"Self-taught?"

"Yes."

Li Angping said: "During this period, the student has been observing filial piety at home. Once when drinking chicken soup, the student ate every piece of chicken, leaving only the bones. The student originally wanted to throw away all the bones, but unexpectedly discovered that there were many chicken bones.

There are grooves and protrusions at both ends of the head and tail, which are connected to each other to form a whole.

Those independent bones are connected through fascia, cartilage, muscles, etc.

As long as you find the pattern, you can reassemble the outline of a chicken from a pile of scattered chicken bones.

So the students wondered whether they could use this method to restore the skeletal structures of other creatures.

The students bought dishes made from fish, frogs, turtles, snakes, etc. from the restaurant. After decomposing and disassembling them, they discovered some wonderful things.

For example, the hyoid bone of a frog is cartilage and is not connected to other bones; the back and plastron of a turtle have two layers, the inner and outer layers; the skulls of non-venomous snakes are generally oval, while the skulls of venomous snakes are generally triangular..."

Li Ang paused and said slowly: "After analyzing animal bones again and again, the student thought that maybe the experience of animal bones can be extended to humans.

Since each bone has its own shape and pattern, when you encounter some patients with bone injuries, you can heal the pain by adjusting the bones according to the disease and restoring the bones to their original positions.

The technique used to treat Ju'er just now was figured out by the student by figuring out the bones of his own elbow.

In addition, students also discovered that as long as they gently hammer the raised leg with their fist below the kneecap, they can make people want to bounce their legs uncontrollably.

Although I don’t know the reason behind this, it probably has something to do with the bones.”

Li Ang crossed his legs and showed Pu Liuxuan a knee-jerk reaction. In fact, the knee-jerk reaction is related to nerve reflexes, but it's just a bluff. Don't worry about so many details.

Pu Liuxuan subconsciously wanted to cross his legs, but he immediately reacted and wanted to maintain his dignity as a teacher. He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and nodded calmly, "Not bad, not bad..."

He nodded and was silent for a moment. Suddenly his face tightened slightly, and he looked at Li Ang seriously and seriously, "Risheng, have you ever thought about... going to the Academy to study."

Academy?!

Li Ang's eyelids jumped suddenly. This word has a special magic power for any Yu country person.

There are academies everywhere in the world, such as Lizheng Academy in Luoyang, Songzhou Academy in Longxi, and Bailu Academy at the southern foot of Mount Lu. However, there is only one that can be called without any prefix.

Chang'an Academy.

The history of the Academy can be traced back to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty went south to destroy the Chen Dynasty, ending the nearly three hundred years of division and chaos in the Central Plains. He suppressed the barbarians from all directions externally, founded three provinces and six tribes internally, promoted the imperial examination, weakened the aristocratic families, and established a new system in Chang'an.

To the west of the city, a large-scale college was built to attract talents from all over the world.

The Academy not only teaches Confucian classics and poetry, but more importantly, one of the purposes of the Academy is to study things and gain knowledge.

The way to know is to examine things, and then you will know after examining things.

Under the guidance of this purpose, the Academy takes the study of the principles of heaven and earth as its key link and aims to benefit the people. It studies celestial phenomena, investigates geography, collects living things, compiles illustrations, studies mathematics, and improves iron forging technology, textile technology, and dyeing.

Technology, oil pressing technology, sugar making technology, bridge making technology, paper making technology...

It was precisely because of the existence of the Academy that the former Sui Dynasty could last for hundreds of years. Before the assassination of its last emperor, which gave birth to the 18th Route and the 64th Route to rebel against the king, it still had a population of 20 million.

After the fall of the former Sui Dynasty, the State of Yu, which inherited most of the legacy of the former Sui Dynasty, did not abandon the Academy, but instead expanded its scale, making the Academy the most important pillar of the rule of the State of Yu.

The never-blocked river in Zhenzhou City, the heavy cargo ships sailing on the river, the candy cubes eaten by civilians, the coal used by every household, the albums in the hands of scholars (the former Sui and early Yu states used scroll books),

Exquisite and lightweight coins, flying coins that are difficult to imitate...

What the people of Yu State eat, use, and wear are all inextricably related to the academy.

That academy is the temple of knowledge and reason, the source of invention and creation.

"Think...I have thought about it."

Li Ang said: "However, it seems that it is very strict... I read in the newspapers that the Academy only accepts a few hundred people every year.

If students from Yu State want to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, they have to compete with all their peers from more than 10, 600 prefectures. In each prefecture, only the top ten in the annual provincial examination are eligible to advance.

And even if you are promoted, you still have to go to Chang'an and compete with the princes and nobles in Chang'an City who have received the best education since childhood for the one out of ten enrollment places.

Moreover, once a student reaches the age of eighteen, he or she will automatically lose the qualification to enter the palace."

The population of Yu State has exceeded 60 million households and 40 million people in the past few years, but the Academy only accepts hundreds of boys and girls of the right age every year.

The difficulty of this kind of competition... is even more brutal than in Li Ang's memory of another world, when thousands of college entrance examination students crowded into a single-plank bridge.
