Chapter 43 The Flies

After more than two hours of tossing, the medical palace finally took a rest. The copper rod inserted into the body was carefully removed. Because the artery was not damaged, the blood flow was blocked. The wound was roughly cleaned with the alcohol that he had prepared before. As for the silk thread suture, the medical Yin Fengli found a spirit woman, who sewed the wound like a sewing clothes.

Everything that should be done is done. Cai Bao is dead or alive, and he can only look at the will of the Grand Secretary.

Fengli looked at Cai Bao, whose breathing was getting smoother, and the spirit girl also looked at him. Just now, the doctor Yin Fengli summoned him urgently. She thought that the king had repeated his condition, but who thought he was an irrelevant person. "This person will wake up tomorrow. The spiritual medicine is precious. Next time..."

The spirit girl is a witch girl. Unlike the witch girl, in addition to dancing Nuo dances and playing ghosts while exorcising ghosts, the spirit girl often has to attract spirits with the male staff Jiaohuan during sacrifices. Cai Bao forgets the pain. The medicine that is unconscious is the spiritual medicine taken before the witch girl attracts spirits. This time the spiritual medicine is taken to an ordinary person, so the spirit girl has the meaning of not being an example.

"Don't blame Mr. Li, your eldest son wants to create a healing technique. This is an experiment. It is not Li's spiritual medicine." Ying Li did not dare to look at the spiritual lady's front, but just lowered his head and spoke, and moved the prince out again.

"The spiritual medicine was collected from Wushan. It was hard to get. If you use it, you wouldn't be willing to help me." The spiritual girl told the truth. Xiong Jing, who was serving his father, had just entered the room and the atrium was empty. He heard the echo and asked, "Does the spiritual medicine be produced from Wushan?"

"I have seen Your Highness." Hearing Xiong Jing's voice, the spirit girl was one step slowing down. She was a little curious when she looked at the approaching prince. "Haitting her hair and black clothes, and her tender face had the expression of an adult, which really made her stunned.

Li Jun looked at Xiong Jing, and Xiong Jing also looked at her. The light of the candlelight was a bit hazy. The spirit woman in a witch robe was tall and concave. Under the robe like night, her skin was crystal white and crystal clear. What was most memorable was her eyes, which was full of autumn waves like a deep pool, which made people want to jump down desperately.

"Mr. Li has seen Your Highness the eldest son." Xiong Jing's eyes were sucked by the spirit girl until the spirit girl followed Feng Li and called him "Mr. Zi".

"Cough cough..." Xiong Jing's face was hot, and he had seen several spiritual women when he was performing sacrifices in Taimiao. He didn't look closely at it, but now he realized that the spiritual women were so attractive. "How about Cai Bao?" He took a lot of effort to ask Cai Bao.

"Report to Your Highness, the wound has been cleaned and sewn, but I don't know what to do..." Win Li answered as if nothing had happened, serious.

"Buying knows." Cai Bao lay flat on the couch, breathing smoothly. Xiong Jing's heart was also calm. This was a loyal guard who was injured for him and had an uncertain life and death. "I was most worried about infection after the operation, once it was infected..."

In the era without antibiotics, it is not difficult to deal with wounds, but the difficult thing is to prevent postoperative infection. Penicillin is impossible. Not to mention how to extract it, it is just to know how to extract it. Before the yield of bacterial strains increases, the penicillin production in a year cannot cure a patient.

"The spiritual medicine is only produced in Wushan?" After releasing the antibiotic, Xiong Jing asked about the spiritual medicine, and he was very curious about it.

"Yes, Your Highness. There may be some other places, but it is not as effective as Wushan." The spirit girl replied, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xiong Jing again. However, the more respect she was, the more it made Xiong Jing feel itchy. What kind of spirit girl is this? This is clearly the devil's charming maid. No matter what part of her body is, it is not tempting to commit crimes. When she grows up, she must be carefully examined. Xiong Jing thought of it.

"...what is it?" Xiong Jing spitted out this sentence in his dry throat, and the words were not meaningful. He immediately corrected: "Why is the spiritual medicine?"

"Your Highness, this is the spiritual medicine." The spirit girl's jade hand penetrated into her arms and then reached in front of Xiong Jing.

"Is this a spiritual medicine?" There was a red mushroom on the jade palm, the red one was so charming and weird.

"It is. The spiritual medicine is collected from Wushan and can only be taken after the secret preparation." Xiong Jing saw it, and his jade hand penetrated deep into his arms again.

"It seems that I can only use it in a small amount." The mountains on the spiritual girl's body were undulating, and Xiong Jing took a lot of effort to move her eyes away. "Ying Li, go catch some fly from tomorrow. Remember, just green."

"Fly?" The spirit girl was originally a witch who lured gods and ghosts to come to earth to sacrifice. She had a charming appearance and a beautiful manner. Fengli was very worried that the prince would be attracted to him, but the prince's order was too unexpected. Catch the fly,

What are you doing when catching fly? "Your Highness, what is the so-called catching fly? Flies are filthy."

"Treat the injury." Xiong Jing originally wanted to prevent postoperative infection, but was worried that Feng Li would not understand it, so he could only summarize it.

"Can fly cure injuries?" Feng Li still couldn't believe it, but the effect of willow bark juice reminded him again that what the prince said was not false.

"Yes." Xiong Jing nodded. What he wanted was not a fly, but a mercerized green fly larvae. In layman's terms, it was a maggot.

Human medicine has long been used for insects. It was leeches at the beginning. The ancient Egyptians often used it to suck away the "bad blood" of the injured. Maggots appeared later. In the Age of Discovery, maggots were used to remove the carrion from the meat eaten on board. During the Napoleon period, it was used for gunshot wound treatment. Because of the emergence of penicillin, this increasingly mature therapy was temporarily abandoned by people until the resistance to bacteria appeared.

If Cai Bao is infected after surgery, only maggot therapy can be saved. However, maggot therapy is not achieved overnight. It took humans hundreds of years to find that only green-light silk flies only eat carrion and not good meat. Green-light silk flies are big green-headed flies, so it is not difficult to find. The real difficulty is infection - no matter which type of flies it is, they carry countless germs on their bodies. How to remove these germs is the key to maggot therapy. Xiong Jing didn't know how to do it in medicine in later generations, so he could only try it, after all, the direction was the right one.

"Your Highness, the spirit girl leaves." Seeing that the prince and the medical Yin discussed the matter, the spirit girl wrapped her witch robe tightly and bowed to Xiong Jing.

"Get back." Xiong Jing swept her and moved her eyes away, her neck stiff as rusty.

"I dare to ask Your Highness, fly can be caught, but how can I treat the wound?" Feng Li didn't look at the spirit girl, but just asked about the wound.

"Flying flies lay eggs, eggs grow larvae, larvae eat rotten meat, and they are injured." Xiong Jing explained, after all, they are witch doctors. Although they don't understand some things, there are no taboos. "I said last time that everything has bacteria, and there are more than tens of millions of bacteria on the body. Before treatment, be sure to remove the bacteria of the fly."

When talking about bacteria, Xiong Jing thought of microscopes, and when he thought of microscopes, he muttered about glass. Because the charcoal fire was not warm enough, the glass manufacturing level in Chu State was low. The price of glass - idiom: The beads that buy beads to return beads are actually glass beads, which have always been made of gold. Xiong Jing doesn't care how valuable glass is. He just hopes to build a microscope as soon as possible. One day before the microscope is created, the maggot therapy will be successful one day earlier. Cai Bao was injured today. What if it was himself?

"What Your Highness said about fly larvae, but... maggots?" Feng Li finally understood, a little dumbfounded.

"That's right." Xiong Jing looked at him, "Are you scared?"

"I am not afraid." Yingli shook his head quickly. "How can the injured person be afraid and not want to use maggots to treat the wound?"
