Chapter 255 Simple Surgery

Hearing what Mu Min said, everyone changed color.They are all modern people, and they all have the basic concept of human rights. Now someone (a woman) is about to die unjustly and unjustly because of some superstition.They really can't see this kind of thing.

"We want to save her." Mu Min said.

Everyone was silent: This is Li District, and the passerby is an outsider.Historical experience tells them: When you don't have enough power to influence others, no matter how good your intentions are, don't interfere in other people's affairs casually, otherwise it will only cause resentment.

Xiong Buyou said, "How can we save it?"

"She's innocent—" Mu Min stopped after saying this, they knew that there was no such thing as "forbidden" in this world.The problem is that people here don't think so.

"Let's play by ear." Cui Yunhong said, "Didn't Wang Gong specifically take care of us this time, to follow the customs of the ethnic minorities and not to interfere at will?"

"You can't just ignore death, can you?" A few people's sense of justice erupted

"Whether she dies or not has nothing to do with us!" Fang Jinghan said suddenly.Everyone couldn't help being taken aback. They didn't expect this good old man to say such cruel words suddenly.

"What did you say?!" Someone burst out with universal values, "An innocent person is going to be killed! You actually said that it has nothing to do with us?!"

Seeing that things have not been done yet, a big discussion on values ​​and human rights theory is about to start.Cui Yunhong stopped drinking:

"Okay!" He also felt that the life and death of this woman had little to do with them, but now that it was brought up, it would definitely cause internal conflicts if he publicly said that he could not save her. "What are you talking about now?"

He Ping said: "It's not difficult to save people, but I have to ask, will the executive committee agree to us taking in this woman?"

"Of course we take her in," Mu Min replied without hesitation, "regardless of her ethnicity, we need her even as a laborer."

"Otherwise, it's fine to be Xiao Wang's wife."

"I think you are tempted by yourself, right?" Some people have already started joking with each other.Cui Yunhong thinks that one of the biggest characteristics of modern people is that they are heartless and can laugh at any time.

"I can't be tempted without tattoos."

"Don't think about it." Mu Min said, "Although women of all ages and classes are accused of being 'forbidden mothers', they are mainly middle-aged and elderly women, especially widows with no parents, because they Lack of protection from family power."

He Ping nodded and said, "Since I'm willing to take her in, I'll give it a try when the time comes. I dare not say if it will be successful."

Aoya has come here to urge her, and a large number of curious people have gathered outside.Cui Yunhong hurriedly made some assignments

"Comrades," Cui Yunhong said. "Now we have to take precautions. If necessary, we have to escape as soon as possible. Now let everyone be familiar with the plan. In case of any accident, everyone will act according to the plan. Do you understand?"

It is decided that Xiong Buyou will accompany He Ping to see a doctor, and Huang Zuozhao will be the bodyguard.

Cui Yunhong gave them the only Glock pistol in the team.

"In case something happens, get out immediately." Cui Yunhong took care, "Life is the most important thing. If you lose the medicine and equipment, you will lose it."

Mu Min also came to take care of her: "Don't be impulsive in doing things. The most important thing in Li people is to be faithful in what you say, and you have to leave room for what you say. Don't be so nervous." She sighed, and she didn't approve of Cui Yunhong's arrangement as if she was facing a big enemy. Always felt like an overreaction.

"We all understand."

Everyone else packed their bags and got their guns ready.The expedition team brought 4 Remington shotguns and 5-shot shotguns, as well as several Gerlind pistols, all loaded with ammunition, wrapped in banana leaves, and kept at hand.

well arranged.Early the next morning, He Ping and his party followed Aoya and Li Benqing to Dongzhu's house with a travel medicine box.

The residence of the cave master is larger than the surrounding houses, and the materials are also exquisite.The class differences in Mei Foo Li are relatively obvious.He Ping's face was solemn, and the strong men in the village blocked the crowd while advancing with him.After a while, an old man came to welcome Ferjiusun, who was one of the cave master's confidantes.

The light in the room was dim, He Ping blinked his eyes for a long time before he saw a young man lying on a bamboo couch by the side of the room.Surrounded by a group of people, mostly women, it seems that someone is sobbing.The outside of the bed is covered with a bamboo strip wall.

After He Ping glanced at the scene, he walked to the bamboo couch.This person was only fifteen or sixteen years old, just when he was young, his complexion was sallow under the dim light, his head was covered with sweat, and he was panting in pain.

His body was covered with a tie-dyed kapok cloth, and there was a faint smell of rancidity in the air.

He Ping frowned, this smell does not seem to be sick, could it be a traumatic infection?

"What disease?" He Ping asked.

There was a middle-aged woman with a face on the side, and she hurriedly said something to Li Benqing, and Li Benqing said:

"It turned out that it was just some redness and swelling on the legs. It suddenly became ill a few days ago. There was a big swelling and the whole body was very hot."

Lifting the quilt, He Ping gasped. There was a huge pus cell on the man's leg, and his body temperature felt very high.He opened the box, wiped his fingers with alcohol cotton, and pressed the pus. It was hot, and there was a soft place in the middle that felt like it was beating.He Ping already knew that it was an infection caused by trauma.

In this case, surgery is impossible.He Ping disinfected and poisoned his fingers again.Although it was only a minor outpatient surgery, he had never tried it on humans.This can't help but regret it.

Seeing his distressed face, the woman next to him burst into tears knowing that he was in danger, and the people around him also shed tears.

The old man who greeted them asked: "Genius doctor, is Dongzhu still alive?"

"It's hard to say," He Ping said cautiously, "You can try it, but your life is not at stake. I can't be responsible if you die. If you agree, I will cure you, otherwise you can only resign."

Ao Ya fully agreed, saying that she could live one more year, and she only asked the divine doctor to cast a spell.

He Ping asked someone to carry the patient outside—it was too dark to operate.The caretaker surrounded the patient's bed with curtains and built a shed above it to shade.Outside the shed, a firepit was piled up with stones to make a fire, and people were asked to bring brand new clay pots to boil water.They also brought some white cloth, cut it into three large pieces, and dug a hole in the middle to use it as a surgical gown.The rest were made into masks and hats.After it is done, it is boiled in water and dried in the sun.

The Li people in the village looked at what they were doing with fear and curiosity.It's all over.It is already noon.When the three of them came out of the shed wearing white cloth hoods, white hats and masks, the children ran away in fright.The old people's eyes also showed great anxiety and worry.

He Ping opened his medicine box and sorted out his belongings.Say to Xiong Buyou and Yellow Claw:

"His illness should be caused by a streptococcal infection in the wound. If he doesn't have an operation, he won't recover. If it drags on for a few days, he may die of high fever or sepsis."

"Surgery and drainage?" Huang Zawzi is a lover of outdoor activities, and knows a little about self-treatment of minor injuries and illnesses.

"Yes, only an operation can save his life," He Ping said, "You can help me as my nurse."

"Okay, what do you want us to do?" Yellow Claw agreed.

"First help me sterilize the equipment and prepare the materials. By the way, I need to prepare some normal saline."

"Need an infusion?"

"For washing wounds, pay attention to the preparation concentration of 0.9%."

"okay."

There is not much alcohol in the medicine box, so the simplest method of boiling disinfection is used for surgical instruments. The instruments to be used are boiled in boiling water for another 5 minutes and then disinfected with alcohol.He Ping put on gloves.Taking a deep breath, he picked up the scalpel.

The middle-aged woman outside—probably the mother of the cave owner, became uneasy when she saw them dressed in strange shapes and boiling all kinds of shiny things in the water. When she saw He Ping picking up a knife, she Almost going crazy, those who were crying and making noise outside were about to rush in, but were stopped by a few Oyas——He Ping had already taken care of them in advance.

"What's your body temperature?"

"39 degrees 8."

"Put some cloth in his mouth and hold him down." He Ping took care of them.

He Ping first used alcohol to thoroughly disinfect around the pustule, and then found the soft and wavy place on the pustule—he remembered that when Hippo taught him the simple operation, the surgical treatment of pustule is to cut from here Incision for draining pus.But it's easy to say, but it's a bit timid to really cut it on a big living person.He adjusted his breath and cut it down.

Pus and blood almost spurted out, splashing all over the makeshift surgical gowns on their bodies.

Xiong Buyou almost cried out, the situation was really scary, he obviously felt the patient under him twitch, struggling, and immediately suppressed him with all his strength.

At this time, there was a noise outside and the footsteps of many people. He Ping began to wash the wound with salt water, and the young Dongzhu struggled even harder.Huang Zuozhao and Xiong Buyou had to exert all their strength to control him.

While he was busy talking, Li Benqing came in from the outside. Seeing this scene, his face turned pale with fright.Xiong Buyou scolded, "What are you doing here?"

Li Benqing said with a bitter face: "There is a commotion outside, saying that the master of the cave will be handed over to you for treatment——"

While talking, someone seemed to be arguing outside, and Li Yu, who couldn't understand, came out louder and louder.All three were tense for a while.But this is the end of the matter, and it cannot be left halfway.He Ping simply ignored it and just cleaned the wound. After the wound surface was completely cleaned, he inserted a gauze drainage strip coated with Vaseline into the wound, and then loosely covered the wound with cotton wool.

"Don't you need anti-inflammatory powder?" Yellow Claw asked.

"Drainage is needed now, give him oral penicillin." He Ping looked at the wound dressing, although it was a bit ugly, it was still qualified.

"Wait, you give him penicillin orally, what if he is allergic? It's not dead!"

"I forgot!" He Ping was startled, "Change to sulfa tablets."

The patient was given oral sulfa.At this moment, the noise outside stopped.He Ping told the family members to come in.It was the cave master's mother and the old Aoya who invited them who came in from outside.

Dongzhu's mother saw that her son's face was sluggish, but it seemed that he was not in so much pain, and she showed a slightly relieved expression.Old Oya said a lot of things to Li Benqing again.Li Benqing said:

"He thanked you for saving his nephew. He asked if this was a cure?"

"Not yet, it will take a few more days." He Ping knew that he was still in danger before his body temperature dropped, "You can give him water and light food, but don't let his wound touch water or dirty things Find someone to take care of him day and night, he will have a fever, and you need to soak him in cold water with a cloth..." He Ping took care of a bunch of precautions, and finally said, "Choose the most reliable person to take care of him, Other than that, no one else is allowed to enter the shed, no one else! Come to me quickly if you need anything.”

When old Aoya heard what He Ping said, a look of worry could not help but appear on his face.But he didn't say anything, he just said that he would do everything according to the orders of the divine doctors.

The trio emerged from the shed, their bloodstained burqas causing another commotion.Everyone cleaned the instruments by hand, and then boiled them in boiling water to disinfect them.After the cooking was over, the pottery was smashed and buried.The burkas and masks made temporarily were all thrown into the fire and burned.This practice was originally just to prevent the pollution of medical waste, but unexpectedly, it was understood by the local people as a witchcraft ceremony.So many years later, when the work team that traveled through the regime returned to this place, a certain young team member recorded this paragraph in his social investigation notes:

"...the final stage of exorcising a patient from 'ghosting' involves throwing a white cloth, stained red and sometimes blood, into the fire, and finally smashing the earthen pots for cooking. All the rubbish Will be buried. The whole ceremony is officially over..."

Back at Li Benqing's house, someone brought food: grilled chicken, eggs, fish, rice in bamboo tubes, rice wine, etc., which were very rich.It's just that everyone in the expedition team didn't have much appetite: the three people who underwent surgery were covered with pus and blood just now, and the others were worried about what would happen in the next few days.The commotion outside the shed just now, the people inside didn't see it, but they could see it clearly.A young man kept instigating something, and the crowd outside became commotion several times. Fortunately, those Aoya were trying their best to suppress outside to maintain order.

"Don't worry, the owner of the cave will definitely have a fever for a few days. With antibiotics, he can't die." He Ping said, "It's just a little strange."

"what?"

"He didn't get inflammation for no reason." He Ping took out a paper bag from the enamel box of the medicine box, which contained a thin bamboo thorn. "I pulled it out of the wound," he whispered. "It's kind of weird."

"Doesn't he know he was stabbed?"

"It's quite possible." He Ping said, "Hippo and I have told many cases like this. Fortunately, this thing is not iron, otherwise no one can save him from tetanus."

"Fuck, we won't be involved in any court conspiracy, right?" Someone's imagination exploded.
