Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 516, Tetanus
Yang Xiaole stood on the steps, looked around, and without thinking much, walked towards the educated youth point.

"Hey, Yang Xiaole is back."

As soon as we got here, people in the yard started shouting and screaming.

The one who spoke was naturally Wang Laoer.

Seeing him approaching, he said with a grin, "Tell me the truth and tell me whether you have done that or we will torture you severely."

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Get lost!"

Then he took out the cigarettes in his hand and said, "Nine cents a pack! I won't give it to Wang Lao Er. You two can share it!"

Feng Aijun took it and ran away crying.

Naturally, the others were also happy to share the cigarettes.

"Hey, you traitors! Take me a copy!"

Wang Laoer yelled in dissatisfaction and followed the crowd into the house.

Yang Xiaole was left alone.

The girl was cooking there at this time.

Feng Xue looked at him coming over and said with a smile: "Hey! Tsk tsk tsk~"

There was a teasing tone in his voice.

At this moment, everyone looked at them curiously. It was impossible to say that they were not curious.

After listening to H books these days, everyone's anger has been aroused, but the only thing is the lack of practical experience.

Yang Xiaole ignored them and looked at Liu Yan and asked, "Has anyone died in the village in the past two days?"

Liu Yan thought for a moment and shook her head: "No! If someone was dead, then we would definitely know about it. There are only a few families in this village, so there shouldn't be any."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole didn't care anymore.

He laughed and said, "When will the meal be ready? It's already past three o'clock."

"It's early! Wait!"

Yang Xiaole nodded, took a look at the food, and asked curiously, "Is this food newly arrived?"

We still know what the level of their food is.

It was broken before.

It is estimated that it will arrive in two days.

Sure enough, Liu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it was delivered yesterday, but we are still short of several kilograms per capita!"

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Gaps are normal.

It would be strange if there was no gap!

When I came into the house, it was filled with smoke.

"Hey, Xiaole, the team leader said that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will have to do farm work. Our private plots have been marked out, and the arable land has been marked out. When will we start working?"

"So early? The frozen ground hasn't thawed yet!"

This is the north, where the temperature is relatively low, and we can only farm in late March or early April.

Rice will not be harvested until May, but breeding and farming are also in April.

It is now the end of February and there is still a month until the end of March.

"Not digging the ground. They said it's too early to do that! We need compost. We need to transport the manure from every household and the farm to the fields and pile it up. We'll spread it out when we start working in the spring."

"Oh, you mean this! I see."

Yang Xiaole realized that composting could be done in advance.

This is not the mechanization of later generations.

Not to mention that chemical fertilizers can be directly pulled into the fields, even compost can be transported using tractors, which is very convenient.

Now everything depends on manual labor, and everything has to be done in advance, otherwise the spring ploughing will be delayed.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Have you asked the captain? When is the right time to do it?"

With 2.8 acres of land per capita, it is not as easy as it seems.

"The captain said it will take another twenty days, in mid to late March."

Wang Laoer muttered something.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly. It was basically the same time as spring ploughing.

At that time, part of the frozen soil had melted, but it still carried some ice debris, so the land could be cultivated from the afternoon until dark.

Not so frozen.

It's still very cold.

Thinking of this, he nodded: "Then when it's almost done, let's get started!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

Yang Xiaole stayed in the educated youth store for a while, and generally speaking, nothing big happened.

Thinking of the health center mentioned earlier, he said hello and walked towards the village.

"Yang Zhiqing! You're back!"

I met a fellow villager on the road and said hello to him.

Yang Xiaole responded with a smile, "Yeah, I'm back."

It was a middle-aged man. I didn’t know him, but he looked familiar.

The other party nodded with a smile and left.

Yang Xiaole didn't ask any further questions.

He often met people who greeted him on the road, and he responded to them one by one.

Arriving at Xie Hongbing's courtyard, he shouted inside: "Tiehua, open the door!"

At this time, Xie Honghua was collecting clothes in the yard.

I heard a voice shouting, "The door is not locked, come in!"

Yang Xiaole naturally knew it, but out of politeness, he still asked.

Gently push open the gate.

Seeing this, Xie Honghua said directly: "My brother is not at home!"

"Oh, I'm not looking for your brother. Is your father home?"

The other party was one of the people sent out to dig a canal. I wonder if he is here!

Here, he no longer has the habit of peeking.

Anyway, you can ask it.

"Oh, I'm here. I just got back. Dad! Dad! Someone's looking for you!"

After Tiehua finished speaking, she started yelling inside.

Then he said to him, "Come in, he's on the kang!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole nodded and walked into the main room.

Tiehua's mother passed away two years ago, and her father lives with her and her siblings.

Xie Hongbing, also known as Tiedan, had already reached the age for marriage in the countryside, but was delayed because of things that happened in the past few years.

When I came in, there was steam coming out of the pot on the stove.

Obviously cooking and eating.

"Uncle, you're busy!"

As soon as I arrived at the main hall, I saw an old man in his fifties walking out.

Judging from the situation, the other party should not be too young when he gets married.

Yang Xiaole greeted him with a smile and handed him a cigarette.

"Yang Zhiqing!"

The old man took the cigarette and greeted him with a smile, saying, "What are you busy with? Not busy, I just went to visit Sanzi's house. What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Yang Xiaole didn't understand who the third son he was talking about was!
I didn't ask either.

He smiled and nodded: "Yes, the captain asked me to find you and asked you to help me build a kang in the clinic that was built before."

Hearing this, the old man thought for a moment, "Isn't that the brigade's clinic? Why are they laying on the kang?"

"Oh, I'm planning to move in. The captain agreed and asked me to come and see you."

"Oh! So that's it! It's cold outside, let's talk on the kang!"

As he spoke, he walked inside.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole followed.

The room was very tidy, with a lot of carpenter's tools and some boxes hanging on the wall.

After he got on the kang, Tiehua came over and poured him a cup of hot water.

"Thank you!"

Yang Xiaole waited for the other party to calm down before saying thank you.

"Thank you for what!"

Tiehua smiled indifferently.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Yang Zhiqing, I heard that you have medicine, can you give an injection to the third brother's wife?"

Yang Xiaole was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"My third brother's wife is dying of 'seven-day wind' after giving birth. Can you treat her?"

Tiehua was speaking quickly there.

Xie Danian shook his head when he heard this: "It's useless! I have seven days of wind, and the health workers in the commune can't cure it. It's useless. Even gods can't save me."

Hearing this, Tiehua also sighed.

Just prepare to leave.

Yang Xiaole looked confused and asked, "Can you two speak more clearly? I don't quite understand what I'm saying."

Probably got it.

Who has some weird disease that can’t be cured!

So Tiehua asked.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "What is 'Seven Day Wind'? Is it serious? How is it related to childbirth?"

Upon hearing this, Tiehua said directly, "Oh, it's the 'Seven Day Wind'! It's for giving birth to a child. Oh, by the way, the health worker at the commune said it's called... what was it called? I forgot."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought about it for a moment.

What to break?
Is it about having children?

He reacted instantly: "Are you talking about tetanus?"

"Oh, yes, yes, that's it! It's said that even gods can't cure it."

Tiehua nodded quickly.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole understood.

As for why it is related to childbirth, it is because of the medical conditions in rural areas.

The commune has a health center.

But for the production team, people basically would not go to the health center to give birth, but would find a famous midwife in the local area to deliver the baby.

This was also the disease with the highest mortality rate among infants and mothers before liberation.

After delivering a baby, this is a hurdle. If you can get through it, everything will be fine. If you can't, it will be very troublesome.

The situation in cities is relatively much better now, but it is still not popular in rural areas.

So giving birth to a child is really a journey between life and death for women.

As for treatment.

Not now.

Once you get tetanus, there is no cure in the future. When you die depends on your fate. The mortality rate is very high.

Then he looked at Tiehua and asked, "How do you know she has tetanus?"

“That’s what everyone says!”

Tiehua said blankly.

Yang Xiaole nodded after hearing this, thought for a moment and asked, "How long has it been?"

"Born on New Year's Eve!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole said to Tiehua's father, "Uncle, I'll come back to you later about the house. I'll go see what's going on first."

"Can it be saved?"

Xie Danian was a little bit unconvinced.

"No matter, let's try it first!"

After saying that, he got off the kang directly.

Seeing this, Xie Danian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look too!"

Then he got off the kang and went out.

Seeing this, Tiehua looked at the stove anxiously, lifted the pot, looked at the steamed buns, and put out the fire underneath.

He ran out.

Yang Xiaole and his companions left the yard and walked towards a yard far behind.

While walking on the road, he asked Xie Danian, "Uncle, whose daughter-in-law is this?"

He basically knows all the people in the militia, and he hasn't heard of any of them planning to have a baby!

"Oh, is it Xie Hongsan's family?"

"Xie Hongsan?"

Yang Xiaole was puzzled for a moment, then asked, "Didn't he go out to deal in some things? Is he back?"

"No! I don't dare to come back. I don't know where I am hiding now!"

Xie Danian sighed after he finished speaking: "Sanzi is a very pitiful guy. His father died early, and his mother has always had a bad back. She has been confined to bed in recent years. He got his wife in exchange for grain during the difficult years when he was dealing in things. Now he has encountered this problem again. He originally had a boy, but now..."

He just shook his head.

Yang Xiaole didn't say anything. People nowadays are really suffering.

As they chatted, the two came to a yard.

After coming in, there were several people inside, including Xie Hongbing.

"Third uncle!"

Everyone greeted him.

Xie Danian nodded to everyone and asked a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Hongwen, have you put your things away?"

Yang Xiaole looked at the other person.

I don’t think I’ve seen it before.

The other party nodded: "Okay, put it over there in the cellar."

Xie Danian nodded and introduced:
"This is the captain's son, Xie Hongwen. He has been at the logging camp and just came back. Hongwen, this is Yang Zhiqing from BJ. He said he wanted to see the third daughter-in-law."

Xie Hongwen looked at him, puzzled for a moment, but still greeted him: "Hello!"

"Hello there!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded.

The other person's face had some frostbite and was a little rough.

He was wearing a sheepskin coat, like a man from northern Shaanxi.

However, there are also many people in Northeast China who dress like this. You can feel the difference at first glance, a feeling that is hard to describe.

Then he said, "I'll go in and take a look!"

Seeing this, Xie Danian nodded and led his men in.

When I entered the room, I saw a young man in his thirties sitting on the edge of the kang with red eyes.

Seeing someone coming in, the other party called out softly, "Uncle!"

There were two girls next to them.

One is about ten years old and the other is about six or seven years old.

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment, and then he suddenly understood something.

I guess this person is Xie Hongsan.

Otherwise, why would your eyes be red?

Just cry!
But it is understandable that these people are hiding their intentions. After all, Xie Hongsan can be said to be a wanted person by the commune.

Reselling.

Without saying anything, he went to the kang and took a look.

At this time, there were two people lying on the kang, including an old lady with half of her hair white.

The other one is a woman in her early thirties.

At this time, the other party clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and had a painful expression on his face.

"Second sister-in-law! This is Yang Zhiqing from BJ. He can treat illnesses. He came to see Cuicui!"

Xie Danian shouted to the old lady.

The sound is a bit loud.

The other person looked at him lifelessly, nodded, looked at his daughter-in-law on the kang, and then turned around.

Nodded: "Well, let's see!"

Obviously no longer holding out hope.

Hearing this, Xie Danian looked at Yang Xiaole and told him what to do!
Yang Xiaole looked at it and asked, "Can we eat now?"

The older girl next to him shook her head: "I can't eat, my mouth won't open!"

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded, looked at it for a while and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and get something."

After that, he left directly.

After everyone left, Xie Hongsan looked at the person on the bed and asked, "Uncle San! Stop making trouble! Cuicui..."

Speaking of this, he also felt sad.

Xie Danian sighed: "Let's give it a try! What if there's a chance?"

After hearing what he said, Xie Hongsan didn't say anything.

Now he is helpless.

……

After Yang Xiaole came out, Tiehua just happened to come over in a hurry.

"Yang Zhiqing, what's wrong? Can it be cured?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes and shook his head: "I can't guarantee it, I can only say I'll try!"

Tiehua was speechless when he heard this.

"Then why are you shaking your head?"

Then he asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Go back and get the medicine!"

"Oh, then why don't you go quickly? What are you doing here?"

Yang Xiaole looked her up and down, with a speechless expression, shook his head, and left.

Tiehua was confused for a moment.

Didn't care.

Rushed towards Xie Hongsan's home.

……

After Yang Xiaole came back, he left with the medicine box and syringe without waiting for everyone to react.

When I came back with my things, most of the people who had been there had left.

Xie Hongbing stayed here.

Seeing him coming over with a medicine box, Xie Hongbing asked in a low voice: "Is there any hope?"

Yang Xiaole took out the medicine and said, "I can only say that there is hope, but I can't guarantee it."

Take out two bottles of medicine.

One bottle of white powder and one bottle of light brown water.

"What medicine is this? Penicillin? I've already had this medicine injected."

Xie Hongsan saw that he was holding penicillin and said something.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was surprised for a moment and put the medicine away.

I didn't expect that he could get penicillin. Now it's a wartime period and the control is much stricter than before.

What's more, Xie Hongsan is not at home all the time.

Ignoring it, I took out the bottle of brown potion.

In fact, this is brown sugar water plus well water.

"Then there's no need for penicillin. Feed this to her. Can she open her mouth? If not, use a needle to inject it through the gap between her teeth!"

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Xie Hongsan asked again.

Yang Xiaole shook his head. "I can't tell you that. I can only say that this has the potential to cure her disease. Think about it for yourself. Do you want to use it? If you want to use it, inject it into her. If not, I'll take it back."

"Then you have to know what medicine it is, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole asked, "Can you cure it?"

These words stopped the other party.

Xie Hongsan hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No!"

"That's it! To put it bluntly, it's better to have a chance to try than not to have a chance to try! It's a ray of hope after all! Don't you think so?"

Yang Xiaole explained.

Xie Hongsan took a deep breath.

Looking at the woman and the baby lying on the kang, he finally nodded: "Okay, you try it!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took the syringe and drew a tube of "medicine".

He said, "Open your wife's mouth a little. Do you want to do it yourself or do I want to give her the injection? Don't hurt her. Just let her drink it."

Hearing this, Xie Hongsan sat down next to the woman's pillow.

Break it apart with your hands.

There was a small gap left by the fingernail.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole squeezed most of the tube in.

Seeing this, Xie Hongsan let go.

Yang Xiaole pointed at the child and said, "Give him some too. This medicine won't do any harm to the child."

After all, children may also be infected, and the probability is very high.

Because tetanus usually comes from things like scissors.

The baby needs to have his umbilical cord cut.

There is also a risk of infection.

And it looks like it's already infected.

Xie Hongsan obviously also knew about this situation.

After thinking about it, he pried the child's mouth open.

If the child is a little better, it won’t be so difficult, but otherwise it is still a troublesome thing.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole squeezed the rest in.

The little guy was smacking his lips, obviously looking like he enjoyed the drink.

After finishing it, he said, "Okay, wait. If she still can't open her mouth to eat by tomorrow at the latest, then there's nothing I can do."

This tube of well water is very pure, and the water inside is made of well water with a little brown sugar added.

Seeing this, the other party nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you! If my wife and son are okay, I owe you my life."

Yang Xiaole collected the things and said nonchalantly, "It's okay!"

Then he asked, "Now that you are back, you must be careful not to get reported by others."

These words made everyone stunned.

Yang Xiaole also felt a hint of chill from Xie Hongsan.

This is an attempt to take action.

But this feeling came and went quickly, just for a moment.

Xie Hongsan's hand on the gun at his waist also stopped.

Then he asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

The others also looked at each other.

Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly and said, "What's so hard about this? The saddest person at this moment is probably you, Xie Hongsan. Look at the look in the child's eyes."

Hearing this, Xie Hongsan looked at the two girls.

There was silence for a moment.

Still nodded: "Yes, I am."

No threats were made, and if Yang Xiaole wanted to report it, he would not say it here.

Yang Xiaole also knew that many blood relatives in the village would help keep things secret if they encountered such things.

The premise is to avoid being encountered by activists.

Then he asked curiously, "Are you with the Russians?"

Because the gun on the other party's waist was not from the mainland. Pistols were not too rare in that era, but they were very rare in rural areas.

Tokarev pistol.

The pistol over there.

Of course, he was just guessing, after all, there was a chance to get a pistol here.

And judging from the opponent's aura, he must have seen blood on his hands.

It is probably from the Russians. If it were here, it wouldn't be as simple as catching him for reselling it.

Xie Hongsan nodded gently: "Yes!"

Not much was said.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole didn't ask any more questions.

He looked at the two people on the bed and said, "I'll go back first, uncle. I'll come to you later to talk about the kang."

Hearing this, Xie Danian looked at Yang Xiaole, then at Xie Hongsan, and said, "Sanzi, I'll go back first too! If you have any problems, remember to call Hongbing, and don't run around."

"Oh, I see!"

Xie Hongsan agreed.

Then he sent them to the door and looked at the direction they left with a frown.

After Xie Danian came out with his two children, he looked at Yang Xiaole and said, "Yang Zhiqing, please don't tell anyone about this."

Yang Xiaole said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, uncle, if I had said that, I wouldn't have said that just now."

Hearing him say this, Xie Danian felt relieved.
