Chapter 015: Old Man
The person was caught, but it was not the meticulous work that Zhu Wenying expected, it seemed that it should be a fisherman. The reason why they are not too sure is because their equipment is too rudimentary.
A fishing net that is not too big has broken a few large holes with the thickness of a bowl, and it can be used to catch crocodiles.
A five-strand harpoon is broken with three strands, and if one strand is removed, it is quite easy to use as a spear or spear.
A strange little duck standing on the side of the ship, mottled with fluff and a little red skin, only a few new black feathers grew on its wings, as if it had suffered from the plague, and stood listlessly on the side of the ship.
An old man sat on the bow of the boat, shirtless, his upper body as dark as his face, a pair of black linen trousers on the lower half of his body, an arrow stuck in his thigh, and an old face of pain and despair crumpled, and it was only from his gray hair that he could be estimated to be fifty or sixty years old.
A boy with a big head, his hair was messily draped behind his head, wearing only a pair of linen shorts, very thin, his protruding ribs were clearly visible, trembling under Zhang Wuliu's obscene power, like a duckling standing on the side of a boat.
The two boats were together, and Madu could tell that the other was terrified, which was not surprising. Later generations will not understand the prestige of the government at this time in the eyes of ordinary people.
The impression of being a soldier is even worse, there is no military and civilian fish and water situation, and the popular thing in this era is that bandits are like combing soldiers and soldiers are like grates, and officers and soldiers are worse than bandits.
What's more, Lao Zhu was originally a "bandit" of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and Liu Chujiu and Zhang Wuliu, who were dressed as Red Turban Army, obviously frightened them.
"Don't be afraid, old man, I'll show you the wound! Five or six spears moved out of the way. Mado tried to be as kind as he could.
The boy who had been squatting suddenly took out something from the cabin, and the nervous Zhang Wuliu pointed the spear at the boy again, and said nervously: "I told you, don't move!" ”
The boy threw the things in his hand on the boat, bang, the water splashed, it turned out that the boy was holding a water scoop in his hand, and stammered: "Leak...... Leaky ship...... The ship sank. ”
Mado glanced into the cabin, and sure enough, he saw a small gap in the bilge, gurgling out of the water.
There was not even a decent boat, and the fisherman was probably extremely poor, so he dared to enter the lake and was not afraid to drown himself.
The whole arrow did not enter the old man's thigh, but fortunately it did not hurt the bones and blood vessels, if it were not for the reeds that weakened the power of the arrow, it was very likely that the thin thigh would be shot through, and the bones would be broken.
Even such an injury is not something that a weak old man can bear, and if it is not handled properly, it is very likely that he will die.
"Old man, you are seriously injured, come ashore with me, and give you good treatment, otherwise you will die."
The old man subconsciously wanted to refuse, looked at the boy next to him, and nodded again. The old man who was very reluctant to break the boat was very reluctant, so he had to bring it with him, saying that he would let his little grandson keep splashing water on it, and it would not sink.
Ma Du was very worried that the old Liu arm of rowing would be scrapped, so he had to say that he would give him his boat, and the old man gave up his broken boat.
The little boy and the old man huddled together, taking up as little space as possible, and looked at everyone on the boat with a pair of dark eyes, and if anyone looked at him, he immediately lowered his head, obviously very nervous.
In order to ease the tension, Madu touched the duckling in the boy's arms and said very unwillingly: "Your duck is very cute and special." ”
The boy stammered and replied, "It's not a duck, it's a black ghost!"
What the heck? Without waiting for Ma Du to react, Zhu Wenying looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha...... I finally caught a shortcoming of you, and the osprey can recognize it as a duck, and I laughed to death. ”
Ma Du didn't expect that the famous cormorant mentioned in the primary school textbook turned out to be this ghost, he always thought it was a very beautiful water bird, it was really blind to the name of cormorant, what kind of black ghost is it to call it.
After rowing for half an hour, he finally reached the shore, but the old man said that he would not enter the city, and forced the boy to stammer, "The city is ...... There is no ...... in the city No good people! Hungry...... Hungry don't ...... Don't go into town! The frightened old man hurriedly covered his grandson's mouth, "Wa'er said nonsense, don't be like him. ”
From the boy's dazed eyes when he looked at his grandfather, he knew that this was actually taught by the old man, and he didn't know how much the old man had suffered in the city. Ma Du is not surprised by this, in the early days of reform and opening up, a large number of such old men emerged.
Since the old man was reluctant to enter the city, Ma Du did not force it, and placed the grandfather and grandson under a big tree, and pulled out the arrow first. Ma Du first went back to the small courtyard near the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, took the first aid kit and hurried back.
Ma Du, who was trained by his grandfather as a war doctor, is a surgeon, and I don't know how many times I tested on small animals when I was studying for such a wound, which was a piece of cake for Ma Du, and I was glad that it didn't hurt a big blood vessel, and even blood transfusion was saved.
The sharp scalpel enlarges the wound, removes as much human tissue as possible from the adherence to the arrow, and uses surgical forceps to clamp the arrow tightly and pull it out.
Madu unscrewed the plastic bottle of alcohol, and suddenly exuded a rich aroma of wine, and the men around him swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.
Zhang Wuliu diligently opened the old man's mouth, and motioned to Ma Du to quickly pour it into the old man, and even the old man himself was full of expectations.
Madu shook his head and smiled bitterly, holding the cotton ball with tweezers, and washing it with alcohol on the wound. The old man grinned in pain, and looked at Ma Du with strange eyes, obviously saying that the people in the city are really bad people, and they don't drink good wine, but they wipe the dead on the wounds.
The tweezers shuttled through the flesh with shiny needles, and the originally hideous wound became neat and smooth. Zhu Wenying didn't care whether the old man had a pain or not, stretched out his finger and touched the wound, turned around and asked, "You actually know the art of Qihuang?" ”
Ma Du took the gauze roll and replied while wrapping the old man's wounds: "I understand a little, I learned from my grandfather." ”
Zhu Wenying didn't believe it, "Is it really just a half-ass?" Even the old medic in the army can't sew up such a smooth wound. ”
Sure enough, sewing wounds is not unique to later generations, and I don't know what the current level of medical care is.
After bandaging the wound, Ma Du said to the old man: "The old man will come with me to live in the city for a few days, and then go back when the injury is healed." ”
The old man shook his head like a rattle, "The villain is much better, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble to the petty officials anymore." ”
Seeing that the old man was very resolute, Ma Du no longer persuaded him, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the old man, the old man's spirit was obviously lifted, and his originally pale face showed a trace of redness, and he wanted to reach out but didn't dare to take it.
Madu stuffed the silver into the old man, and took out a plate of antibiotics from the first aid kit and gave it to the old man, "If you have a fever, take one three times a day." ”
Considering that the ancients had no drug resistance, one was enough, and he was worried that the old man would eat it with the plastic packaging, Ma Du deducted one on the spot and fed it to the old man.
"Go back and recuperate, you can eat fish, don't eat shrimp and crabs, eat more fruits and vegetables. If the wound is suppurated, you can come to the city again to find me, my name is Madu. If the injury is healed and the medicine is not finished, you can take it back and sell it to me, and I am willing to buy it back for one or two pieces of silver......"
Madu didn't bring many antibiotics, but only two boxes of 10-plate capsules and a box of 5 injections. In this day and age, an antibiotic basically means a life.
His body, which is full of drug resistance, if he has a fever and cold one day, it is obviously not something that one or two antibiotics can solve, so he cherishes it very much, if it weren't for the old man's stubborn reluctance to enter the city, Ma Du was really unwilling to send out a whole plate of antibiotics.
The old man, who had been relatively calm, was excited, grabbed Ma Du's hand and asked, "Can this cure fever?!" One tael of silver! ”
"Yes, fever can be cured. If you have a lot, I'm willing to take one for a tael of silver. ”
Antibiotics themselves do not have the effect of reducing fever, but most fevers are caused by inflammation, and if the inflammation can be eliminated, the body temperature will naturally drop.
The old man looked at the crystal clear white and blue cute pill in his hand, and his eyes were red with excitement, "Yes!" Yes! Such a medicine should be sold for one tael of silver! ”
I didn't see the old man excited like this when he gave the old man a silver ingot just now, and he was so happy with a plate of medicine?
Suddenly thinking that the ingot of silver was only five taels, and there were twelve pills on this board, Ma Du was relieved, this old man is more obsessed with money than me!
(A little spoiler, the old man didn't play soy sauce, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a large space)
