After drinking a few glasses of wine, he still played chess with Ma Liang and stretched out his arm to cut it. Holding a sharp knife in his hand, let the primary school put a big basin under his arm to collect blood. He said, "Don't be surprised if someone starts." Gong said, "Are you more afraid of pain than Shu Ren in the world?" He went under the scalpel, cut the meat to the bone and turned it blue; Scraping a bone with a knife, I heard a sound.
Everything you see in the account is hidden. There is no pain in drinking and eating meat, laughing and playing chess. At that time, blood flowed. Scrape off all the poison, apply the medicine and sew it on.
Translation:
Hua Tuo looked at Guan Gong's arrow wound and said, "If you don't treat your arm, I'm afraid it will be abolished! If you want to cure it, you have to tie your arm firmly to the post. Then I cut the meat with a knife until I see the bone, scrape the poison off the bone, apply medicine and sew it with thread. This will cure you, but I'm afraid you'll be afraid. "
Guan Yu laughed and said that he was not a layman and was not afraid of pain, not to mention tying his arm to a post. And let people send food first, saying, "Sir, you have come a long way, please use the dining table first!" " After eating with Hua Tuo for a while, Guan Gong stretched out his right arm and said, "Please start now." . I can still play chess, eat and drink. Please don't take it personally! "
Without further ado, Hua Tuo took out a sharp knife, asked someone to put a basin under Guan Gong's armpit, took a good look at the position, and cut off Guan Gong's flesh with the knife. Guan Gong ate and drank as usual, and Hua Tuo said calmly, "I'll scrape the poison off your bones with a knife, and it will be fine!"
Hua tuo's technique is skillful. Just after that, the knife in his hand has been scraped back and forth on Guan Gong's arm bone, and he also made a knowing sound, and blood flowed out of the basin. When the soldiers saw this situation, they all hid their faces and left, but Guan Yu continued to play chess and eat and drink, without changing his face. Soon, Hua tuo scraped off the poison, applied medicine and sewed up the wound.
Extended data
Luo Guanzhong wrote "Doctor" as Hua Tuo, probably because Hua Tuo was a famous doctor at that time and was good at surgery, so it was not a problem to treat arrow wound. This "well-founded", coupled with the author's ingenious pen, makes the story vivid and realistic. Who doesn't believe in the authenticity of "scraping bone to cure poison"?
In fact, Guan Yu is far from the brave general who had the experience of "scraping bones and healing wounds" in ancient times. According to "History of the North", Chang Sunyan fell from his horse and broke his arm, one inch above his elbow. He ordered the flesh to be cut open to see the bones, bleeding for several liters, and his words and deeds were self-sufficient. Some people think that he is "worse than Guan Yu"
The History of Song Dynasty records that Zhao Kuangyin attacked Shouchun in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "Shooting crossbows in the city, arrows as big as rafters. Zhang Qiong was covered by his teeth, and the arrow hit the moustache, but the arrow could not come out of the bone. Joan drank a lot of wine, which broke her bones, shed several liters of blood and looked calm. "
Han Shizhong, a famous star in the Southern Song Dynasty, once had the experience of "poisoning bones and encircling them with a strong crossbow". In the Ming dynasty, such examples were common in history books, and there are countless examples.
However, what future generations admire most is Guan Yu. One is that Guan Yu lived in an earlier era. Second, the image of "Guan Gong with a broadsword" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In addition, the vivid description in the "History of the Three Kingdoms" that "Fang and the general drink alcohol, blood on their arms and food, and everyone laughs" makes people feel more authentic.
The story of scraping bones and curing poison in Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only exaggerates the extraordinary masculinity of General Guan Yu-hu, but also praises the brilliant medical skill of Dr. Hua Tuo, which is a much-told story that has been passed down to this day.
