Diary of a Healer of Konoha

Chapter 62 I can't eat meat today.

"That's because of the body stiffness caused by the low temperature. This body has been dead for about a week, and the rigor period has passed." Gao Mu Shangren looked at the sign on the foot of the corpse and said: "Kusunin, male, 19 years old."

"I know Kusanagi Village." Obito Uchiha raised his hand first and replied, "It's a ninja from a small country next to the Fire Country. I didn't expect to see the corpses of ninjas from other countries in Konoha."

"Well, it is said that it is a village that is good at imitating ninjutsu from other countries. This should be a ninja who was killed around the village, otherwise he would not be sent to the village." Hatake Kakashi analyzed rationally: "Right, Doctor Takagi."

"That's right." Takagi Shangren agreed: "It is indeed Kusanagi who was caught and killed by Anbu near the village. You should take a look first, and you won't be too scared if you get familiar with it. Oh, by the way, don't lift the blanket. There are girls here."

Takagi Shangren stepped aside slightly to let these children get familiar with the feeling of the corpse. In order to prevent the cold atmosphere in the morgue from making the place too scary, Takagi Shangren also provided psychological counseling for the children.

"Actually, corpses are not scary, but many people don't know about corpses. They are more afraid of sudden death and some strange behaviors of corpses after death."

"What happens after the human body dies?" Nohara Lin asked.

"Good question, this is what I want to tell you, when the human body begins to die, the first thing to stop is the heart, because the blood stops flowing, the body starts to become cold, but it is still possible to save at this time, it is really the beginning of death The brain pumps out all the oxygen, and the most obvious feature is that the pupils look like glass crystals."

In order for the child to have a deeper understanding of the condition of the deceased, Gao Mu Shangren opened the eyes of the corpse with his fingers, and the eyes that were different from ordinary people were exposed.

"This corpse is well preserved, you can take a look."

"Really." At this time, the children's fear of the corpse was much less, and it turned into surprise. "Is this what happens to everyone when they die?"

"Yes, that's right."

Gao Mu Shangren nodded and said: "The death of the brain represents real death, and the brain is the only organ in the human body that cannot be replaced. When the brain loses oxygen, brain cells will die in batches, and thinking will disappear."

"4-5 minutes after death, because the heart stopped beating, the blood pressure disappeared, and the blood stopped flowing, the respiratory system completely failed, and the red blood began to condense into red and black. 7-9 minutes after death, the brainstem died. Death 1- 4 disappears, the muscles begin to stiffen, the rigor process begins, and the skin turns black because the blood clots in the body, as it is now."

The skin color of the dead is completely different from that of the living. It is off-white, and some purple-red areas can be vaguely seen on the exposed limbs.

"Generally speaking, the rigor will end within three days and the body will soften, but it's too cold here, and the various decomposition processes of the human body after death will be very slow."

"Decomposition?" This new term has attracted the attention of several people. "what does that mean?"

"Do you know the leaves? In autumn, the leaves turn yellow and detach from the branches and fall to the ground. Various microorganisms in the soil will decompose the leaves, transform the withered and yellow leaves into various nutrients and integrate them into the earth, making the soil fertile. Animals People also go through this process, but sometimes with the help of other animals, such as flies and vultures."

"Flies and vultures? That sounds disgusting." The girls hated nothing more than bugs and carrion animals.

"Disgusting is for sure, but as part of the cycle of nature, their existence is necessary." As a doctor, Takagi Shangren can't imagine the situation in nature without 'scavenger'. Dead bodies can be decomposed by microorganisms, but they are huge The body shape takes a lot of time.

"If a human body is not dealt with quickly after death, you can see more disgusting things a week later, for example, a large amount of gas produced by the decomposition of microorganisms in the body cannot be discharged, which will make the body look bloated. If it is treated enough External force, such as cutting a wound, will pop like a balloon, and the disgusting gas and internal organs will be popped out."

Several people shuddered again. What Gao Mu Shangren said was too specific, and they could imagine the scene of a dead person's internal organs flying around after the explosion.

"Therefore, the corpse must be disposed of properly, which is why the morgue exists. No one wants their loved ones to turn into balloons."

The children nodded repeatedly. The picture was so disgusting that they couldn't eat any food with meat today.

"Is there anything else you don't understand? You can raise your hand and ask me."

Asma Sarutobi raised his hand, he endured his nausea and asked, "Then what is the best way to dispose of the corpse?"

"Bury it on the spot or freeze it at a low temperature. My personal suggestion is to freeze it at a low temperature and bring it back with a sealed scroll. At least the family should see the deceased for the last time."

"But if you bury it on the spot, won't it be eaten by animals?" Xi Hihong immediately raised her hand and said, "Will that be too pitiful?"

"People are dead. Is there anything worse than people dying?"

Takagi Shangren also had a glorious funeral ceremony in his previous life, but most of the time he was buried in a tomb of clothes, and the corpses were buried in the wild. It has long been unknown whether they were picked up by wild wolves or some animals and eaten.

There are not a few corpses left unburied in the wilderness, but what can be done?The battlefield doesn't give you time to prepare someone's funeral.

"Bring it back if you can, and your companions won't want to hold you back."

"." The children were silent, without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, Takagi Shangren led the children out. They already had a certain understanding of the corpse, which was an extra piece of knowledge for their future ninja career.

"Okay, kids, put on your clothes and I'll take you home."

In the dressing room, Gao Mu Shangren also took off his white coat and put it in his locker. The job of a doctor has brought him many interesting experiences in his life. This is life.

"Goodbye uncle."

"Thank you uncle."

"I am sorry to trouble you, Uncle."

After sending the students home one by one, Gao Mu Shangren and Qingsheng were walking on the way home. At this moment, Gao Mu Shangren asked, "How is it? Do you still want to be a doctor now?"

"Of course!"

Without hesitation, Haruyu said with a firm face, "Whether it's a ninja or a doctor, I want to be a doctor, so I won't be scared off by the corpse."

"Oh?" Takagi Shangren nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll take you to barbecue today."

"Well, another day, I just want to eat something light today."

"Pfft." Takagi Shangren laughed out loud, as expected, the experience in the morgue affected Haruyu a little bit. "Okay, okay, let's have something light today."
