Villager of Daming

Chapter 1202: Living is the Most Important Question

"Can we touch the water with our lips? Just a little, don't drink it."

Ling'er was explaining the situation, and when she had almost finished, Li Dongsheng, who was lying there, finally couldn't help but make a small request.

Ling'er smiled and shook her head: "No, your situation is special now. In fact, there have been other prisoners in more serious situations than you, so..."

She stopped talking here, meaning that she died. Why did she die? Of course, she didn't use such medicine, but just gave it in the normal way of Chinese medicine.

Those who are not dead are gambling their lives. They will be given antibiotics, their intestines will be cleaned, and the necessary stitches will be sutured. But Hanhan brother said that it cannot be cleaned thoroughly unless it is repeatedly flushed with large amounts of saline solution, otherwise infection is inevitable. Just wait to die!

If we encounter someone with a stomach injury, he will basically be sentenced to death immediately. This is because he is lucky. Otherwise, we will have to fight with the King of Hell to save him.

Li Dongsheng actually had no problem. He was just used to eating. His stomach felt uncomfortable because it was empty, and stomach acid was being secreted, making him feel hungry.

Water enters the body through blood vessels and begins to circulate. If he doesn't drink it through his mouth, he will feel hungry and thirsty.

He doesn't want to lose weight, so he won't go to a weight loss camp where he isn't given food or water.

Of course you can lose weight by not eating or drinking, and the effect is immediate. Exercise, go hungry for a day, and don't consume any fat, sugar, carbohydrates, vitamins, protein, etc.

It doesn’t take too much time, just a day and a night, weigh yourself the next day, and you will find that you have lost a lot of weight in proportion.

It is normal for a person weighing 200 pounds to lose ten pounds after working so hard for a day. This is the result.

As for those who suddenly faint due to hypoglycemia and potassium deficiency, if they die, it would be an accident, but if they are not dead, they can still be rescued.

"I can survive, right? Some of the people who fought with me were similar to me, except that their stomachs were opened, revealing some intestines, but they were not broken. They stuffed them back together, applied medicine, and wrapped their waists with cloth. In the end..."

Li Dongsheng finally said that he was afraid of death, but he had been holding it in before.

He is a veteran and has been fighting in the wars all the way. With luck, he always survives. Even if an ant swarm is attacking the city, he can always rush forward.

Now he was a centurion, which was quite impressive! He earned a lot of salary, no, more than the military pay, and also got bonuses.

If he can come back alive this time, he will be promoted to the rank of centurion, and his salary will continue to increase, and other benefits will also be improved.

How wonderful it is to be alive? Enjoy life.

Of course, even without these things he still wanted to live, and when talking about the past, he said he was afraid that it would be useless to tie himself up, and he would still die if he was sewn up.

"Damn, say it, drink some water, ah! Right? Uh-huh!" Zhu Wentian couldn't bear it anymore, why are you so timid?
"Brother Hanhan is right! How could the person you saw say so many words after such a long time like you do now? Does it hurt?"

The third brother Zhu Gang reacted and said, "You only talked about your former comrades, what about now? Your comrades are in the same situation as you."

“Uh…” Li Dongsheng was stunned and blinked: “No, he started talking nonsense the next day, and it was uncomfortable for us to see him.

He lasted five days. He was feeling hot at the time, but no one gave him ice to cool him down, yes, to cool him down.

It’s summer now, but it’s just hot right now. No, it’s not this hot!

We fed him porridge, but he vomited after drinking it, and finally stopped drinking it. We’ll know after we’ve seen it…”

As Li Dongsheng spoke, his eyes turned red and tears flowed down.

"So you can't eat anything, let alone porridge. You are not allowed to touch water. Whoever dares to give you water will kill you."

Ling'er found an opportunity and told the other party not to always think about eating and drinking.

Today you still have a fever! We used all kinds of methods to cool you down, but where did you get ice? Today's ice is still made of saltpeter.

I made it directly, and didn't plan to make it into a cold drink for him. Saltpeter turns into ice when it meets water, and it doesn't need to be frozen hard, as long as the temperature is low, it can be wrapped in oilcloth and placed under the armpits, neck, forehead, etc. "I'm not thirsty anymore, not at all." Li Dongsheng sweated when he heard it.

"Okay, there's no problem with this." A girl from Xiaqiu Village nearby helped to change the medicine with her companions.

The changed medicine contains some anesthetic. The anesthetic effect is not very good, but it can relieve pain and help the body recover.

He had been given an injection of morphine before, and I was afraid he wouldn't be able to survive the anesthesia alone.

"Let's go! Let's find some fruit to eat. It's hot and we're thirsty!" Lao Wu is so naughty! He talks about eating fruit at this time.

Li Dongsheng looked as if he had lost all hope in life. He tilted his head and watched a group of people go to eat fruit.

In fact, no one ate the fruit at all. They continued to walk around the ward and comfort the injured soldiers.

This process lasted until noon, during which time intelligence was continuously transmitted here.

……

"Now there is only one enemy general left, leading his men on the run? How many of the scattered men can he gather?"

The head of the village didn't know much about this aspect, so after learning the news, he asked Xu Da.

Xu Da put pepper into the mutton soup. Today we had mutton soup, which was from wild goats and was quite smelly. We had soaked it in cold water yesterday, changing the water over and over again.

Now it has finally been made into soup. Zhu Wentian did not roast the mutton offal or anything else yesterday, except the kidneys, which he shared with the village head.

Xu Da stirred the soup bowl with a spoon and said, "It's hard to catch him. As long as he runs hard, no one will follow him.

According to statistics, more than 2,200 people have been captured, and the others are evading through various methods.

Some of them probably fell ill with a fever and collapsed somewhere, and our people can’t find them. Eventually they will start to stink, and even their bones may not be left.

They can't run away because the surrounding area has been completely blocked by our team.

Their mobility was reduced, and all their baggage was lost. Judging from the weapons we collected, they did not have enough weapons, and they also threw away a lot of dry food.

The rain has not stopped yet. If it continues until night, it will be the most torturous night regardless of whether it stops or not. This soup doesn’t smell muttony. Let’s try it. Uh… it’s easy to make mistakes if you’re distracted. I wish I hadn’t added salt while talking just now.”

As Xu Da spoke, he tasted the mutton soup. There was no other problem, except that there was a small box of refined salt in front of him while he was talking.

He used a small spoon to scoop salt into the soup little by little. It was an unconscious behavior and his mind was not on the mutton soup.

As it turned out, he tasted it and found that the salt water was not tasty and was too salty!

Ling'er came over in person, holding a large bowl: "Pour the soup here and add more soup. If you hadn't put so much pepper in it, I would have thrown away the salt water."

The solution to the problem of salty mutton soup is very simple, just dilute it. There is a lot of pepper in it, which is expensive. Salt is not valuable, and the soup doesn’t matter either.

"According to this, we can still capture prisoners by noon tomorrow. They can't hold out for much longer. What's the point of just eating wild vegetables? Without salt, they will have stomach acid."

After listening to Xu Da's words, Liu Sheng thought according to his own understanding that his father was the Minister of War and could at least have access to some information and teach him.

"Less than 4,000 people. We can capture less than 4,000 of them alive. The rest will die, or some will escape the encirclement alone."

Xu Da thought about it and gave this answer.
