Chapter 69 Dead Horses as Living Horse Doctors
The thick and blunt bone needles struggled to penetrate the flesh of the wound, and as they pulled the bloody water came out along the needle and thread.
Under the apex of the bone needle, the unconscious hunter's body was still twitching and spasming.
This method of treating wounds is unheard of and unseen by everyone.
The dense onlookers all exclaimed again in horror, and many of them covered their mouths and looked pale.
Xu Chen was not in the mood to take care of the situation around him, and he was focused on suturing the wound.
As he kept threading the needle, the huge wound was slowly forcibly sewn together. After more than ten minutes, he finally finished the last stitch. The whole wound looked like a twisted and deformed huge centipede, bloody and terrifying.
"Huh~"
After the suture was finished, Xu Chen wiped the blood from his hands with a cloth, then poured half a jar of medicine powder on the wound, took out the bandage and wrapped the wound around his waist and abdomen for several layers, until the wound was completely wrapped, and then the binding ended.
There were too many wounds left, and some were still bleeding, but he was no longer in the mood to sew it together. He could only apply a thick layer of medicine powder to a layer, and then someone took a few pieces of clean linen. With the help of Gu Heju, he wrapped the guy from top to bottom like a mummy before stopping.
Ordinary linen cloth has not been disinfected, but it is no longer enough to care about it.
At present, stopping bleeding is the most important thing. As for wound infection, you can only leave it to fate.
Fortunately, it is already late autumn, and winter will begin in half a month. The low temperature will greatly inhibit the breeding of bacteria. As long as the wound does not ulcerate on a large scale, there is still a great hope of survival.
After all, they are all a group of primitive savages, and their resistance to diseases is still very strong.
Xu Chen never said a word from beginning to end, and he was always focused on treating the wound.
At first, a group of Wu people were very dissatisfied and angry under the suppression of the witch, but gradually became stunned. Especially when Xu Chen started to stitch the wound, he was completely shocked, and then he stopped making noise. The fear gradually turned into an incomparable awe.
Under the influence of the patriarch, almost all the Wu people had a lot of opinions about Xu Chen and the Ba people.
But now Xu Chen is saving the bravest warrior in their tribe.
The treatment method is completely unbelievable and understandable.
He also used mysterious and precious linen cloth and even more mysterious medicine powder. After applying it to the wound, he soon stopped bleeding.
Wu stood by the side from beginning to end, and his mouth was opened and closed, but his old and turbid eyes became brighter and brighter, and his emotions became more and more excited.
"Soga, go by the fire!"
Looking at the hunter wrapped in rice dumplings, Xu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He clapped his hands and stood up and turned to gesture to the Wu tribe leader, and pointed to the bonfire at the same time.
The witch first came to her senses, turned her head and gave a few instructions. Soon, several people stood up and carefully carried the unconscious hunter to the bonfire, laying several pieces of animal skins down. In order to keep warm, Xu Chen also asked someone to cover it with a few pieces of soft and thick animal skins.
After finishing it, Xu Chen ignored other eyes and turned around and walked towards the river.
The dense onlookers instantly dispersed.
By the river, Xu Chen carefully washed all the blood on his face and hands, and when he shook his hands and returned to the campfire again, everyone's eyes changed completely, with great respect and even a fiery worship.
"Chenga!"
The witch surrounded the Wu tribe's patriarch and a large group of people excitedly.
Xu Chen probably knew what Wu wanted to ask, but this matter was completely unexplained, so he pointed to the clothes on his body, then pointed to the sewing marks, and made a needle threading action, indicating that sewing the wound was just a sudden whim.
Although other tribes have not yet learned to weave cloth and sew clothes, the process of how to make linen into clothes has slowly spread after two days of communication.
Therefore, although Xu Chen's explanation is far-fetched, it is not unreasonable.
After roughly understanding, Wu nodded constantly, then turned around and gave a few instructions. Soon someone left the river and headed up the mountain.
This simple language contains too much information, even if you can roughly understand it, only those who are very familiar with it can understand the true meaning.
Xu Chen didn't know what Wu wanted to do, so he didn't care. Instead, he found a backpack and took out a few small cloth pockets from it.
The bag of this cloth contains some Chinese medicines he collected and dried and chopped, such as Arita Qi, Polygonatum, Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis pilosula, yam, etc. He brought some medicines that could be found, mainly just in case.
Although the unconscious guy has been treated with his wound, if he can't wake up, it will be a waste of time.
However, although he knew and knew the medicinal properties of some traditional Chinese medicines, he was limited to simple treatment of common symptoms such as bruises and injuries and mosquito bites, such as simple treatments such as bruises and injuries and mosquito bites. He could not say that he was a prescription, but he was just using several common medicinal materials to make simple treatments based on some experiences he learned, such as stopping hemospheric and reducing swelling.
He has never encountered this man's injury and suffered from severe blood loss and shock. He has never encountered such a fatal symptom, let alone experience in treatment.
But among these primitive people, he is the one with the highest medical skills, no doubt about it.
Therefore, even though he didn't know how to prescribe and decoct the medicine, he had to bite the bullet and try it.
Dead horses are treated as live horses.
Anyway, there will be no medical trouble if you die, and there will be no jail time.
Just think that you have practiced to open the door to medicine.
Xu Chen picked and picked up seven or eight out of his small pockets, and he didn't know if the properties of the medicine were in conflict. Anyway, he used all the blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing and other blood-replenishing and qi-enhancing drugs for him.
Watching Xu Chen poured out some strange tree root residue from the small cloth pocket and put it into the clay pot, then put some water for a woman from the Ba tribe to simmer on the bonfire, hundreds of people were confused to watch.
Especially the witch and the patriarchs of several tribes, they looked at each other seriously without blinking.
After the medicine was cooked, Xu Chen smiled dryly at Wu, Muba and others and sat down by the bonfire. The group of people also sat down slowly.
"Chenga, drink water!"
A young Ba woman came over with a pottery cup in both hands and placed her respectfully in his hand.
"Thanks!"
Although it was a family, Xu Chen still thanked him very seriously and took a few sips slowly.
Xu Chen didn't say anything, Wu and others didn't know what to say, so they could only sit around and watch.
At this time, the atmosphere on the entire river beach completely changed.
The carnival just now turned into an incomparable quiet.
The slaughtered beasts were piled up bloodily on the animal skins. Some of them had not been cut yet, and they looked ferocious and terrifying. The entire river beach was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Under the sunshine, the river breeze whizzes, bringing a cool and cold feeling of late autumn.
The blazing bonfire swayed in the autumn wind, and thick smoke filled the valley with the wind.
As a trace of hot air began to emerge from the clay pot, a faint fragrance of medicine began to emit. Slowly, the clay pot began to gush and boil, and the fragrance of medicine became even more intense.
Traditional Chinese medicine does not need to be cooked for too long, usually it will be almost ten minutes after boiling.
This is what the old professor of the survey team said before.
In fact, Xu Chen has never been through traditional Chinese medicine seriously.
In his era when he was born, traditional Chinese medicine was no longer very popular. Colds, fever, headaches, and fever basically took effect after a few Western medicines. The survey team also often prepared various emergency medicines. Learning to identify traditional Chinese medicine is just in case, especially when bitten by poisonous snakes.
But I didn't expect that learning a little bit of basic knowledge would become a life-saving method in this ancient wilderness era.
It is actually unsure whether he can really save this Wu tribe hunter Xu Chen.
In addition to the powerful medicinal effects of these wild medicinal herbs, he could only pray that this guy was strong enough to survive.
About ten minutes passed, Xu Chen used animal skin to carry the pottery jar out of the bonfire, ordered a pottery bowl and pour out half a bowl of potion.
The brown potion is boiling and emits a stronger medicinal fragrance.
Xu Chen kept stirring a branch gently to allow it to cool down quickly.
After about ten minutes, he looked at his finger and found that it was already warm, so he helped the unconscious hunter sit up, and asked someone to pinch his mouth and feed it with spoonfuls of spoon.
After feeding, put it down and continue lying down.
At this point, he would never be able to get involved or help if he was alive.
Next was a long and quiet waiting.
From beginning to end, Xu Chen had no intention of actively communicating with Wu and others.
Because he could not explain these things at all, nor could he explain them clearly.
Wu, Muba and others didn't know how to communicate with Xu Chen, so they sat around the bonfire and waited silently.
"Empty, Okay~~"
Waiting anxiously and bored, Xu Chen was bored and dazed while playing with his fingers. Suddenly, he heard someone screaming. When he turned around, he saw a group of Wu people surrounding the hunters lying on the ground.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
Wu Yi coughed and helped the two girls. The onlookers quickly made way. Xu Chen got up and followed Wu in and found that the unconscious hunter had indeed made some movement, and his eyelids were twitching slightly, as if trying to open it.
After waiting for more than a minute, this guy finally opened his eyelids, which felt like a heavy burden, and then there was a long time to recover blood.
However, even such an extremely simple action caused the silent crowd to burst into a warm cheer, and they turned to look at Xu Chen in a silence.
Xu Chen went forward and squatted down and pressed his hand on the hunter's wrist to feel his pulse.
Although he couldn't take the pulse, he could clearly feel the pulse beat much stronger this time than at the beginning.
So he let out a long breath, gestured to the excited Wu, then pointed to the mountainside and said, "Rega!"
Chapter completed!
