Chapter 4 Entering the City for Healing
In the early morning, Zhao Hu finally woke up. Not because he wanted to open his eyes, but because he was so noisy by that guy, but when he stretched out his hand, a bright board appeared in his palm. There were transparent protrusions on the back, and there were beautiful things inside.
There are rows of pills, and just looking at the level of refinement, they are not something that can be made in ordinary medicine halls.
Zhang Long's persistent voice echoed in his mind again: "Did you see it? This is the latest medicine. Do you know about the headache? It's specially used to reduce inflammation. Take the medicine quickly."
"Wrap your head? Wrap your head? Look at the pills, one end of which is wrapped around the other, it looks really good." After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he picked up the water bag, involuntarily opened the two pills, and drank them with water.
Seeing the gloomy sky outside, he wanted to continue sleeping for a while. At this time, Zhang Long said loudly in his ear: "I can't sleep. You have to throw away your dirty rags and replace them with this first aid kit, otherwise
, your life will be lost, you are so unlucky, a doctor can live in his heart and still direct his hands and feet, so I would be helpless when I meet a fool like you!"
Zhao Hu took off his rag as instructed and looked at the wound again. It was disgusting. The yellow water kept flowing. He didn't know whether it was yellow mud or blood from the wound. However, his hand movements were not slow and he used it very skillfully.
Clean the dirt from the wound with alcohol, then sprinkle it with medicinal powder and wrap it with white gauze.
Zhang Long is really arrogant: "I'm telling you, the wound is rotten and needs surgery, otherwise the leg can't be saved. Oh, don't sleep, you idiot!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Hu finally woke up. His first move was to raise his hand to touch his head: "Well, yes, the fever has gone away, but now am I Zhang Long or Zhao Hu? I have both memories. It’s really cool.
Trouble. Forget it, it seems I'd better call him Zhao Hu. You can call him Hu Zi. It's really unlucky. I earned so many dollars in vain. In the end, I was bombarded here. Fortunately, I brought a workshop, but this
The scale is a bit small!”
The sky was already clear, Zhao Hu fed three horses again, and said to himself: "Well, my craftsmanship is quite good. Since I can feed horses and make guns, by the way, what are these? Hand scrubbing
A wheel? A vise? And two drill bits? I really don’t like it. You can make a gun with just these hammers and hand drills? Forget it, take it with you first, after all, I’ll leave you a thought.”
Zhao Hu, who had become speechless, stood up and tried. He found that although his legs were weak, he could walk for the time being: "It's a pity that I don't have surgical equipment, otherwise I would have cut my own flesh with a knife. My nickname as a fatal doctor is not for nothing."
Yes, I have treated hundreds of injured people, and the success rate is as high as 60%. I just don’t know what it feels like to have a knife on myself. Hey, it hurts just thinking about it!"
Zhao Hu rode on the horse, walked freely, and hummed a ditty happily: "I raised my head to the blue sky, searching for my childhood that was far away. The white clouds were swimming leisurely, and nothing changed. Alas, has it really not changed?"
He pulled out the pistol from his waist, looked left and right, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "This old thing only has ten rings, and it's made in Spain, huh? Why doesn't it have a crosshair? How can I aim?"
He suddenly slapped his head: "Oops, I forgot to ask where this place is and what year it is now."
A voice suddenly appeared in my head: "Republic of China, Hongshui County!"
"What year was the Republic of China?" As soon as he asked, he startled himself: "Damn, you haven't left yet? Ah, no, Huzi, are you still here?"
"I only know it is the Republic of China, but I don't know which year!" Huzi's voice was still so stubborn.
"Wakaka, the Republic of China is great. I can join the army, bring out a group of tigers, and beat the Japanese until they scream!"
"You are not allowed to serve as a soldier. You are not allowed to serve as a soldier until you have a queen. My godfather said that all the soldiers in the government are not good people!"
"Fuck you, you are really a stubborn ass. What can you do to me if I am a soldier? I have turned against you."
"If you become a soldier, I will break your *** myself! This is my final bottom line!"
"Wow!" Zhao Hu slapped his head angrily: "Is this still justified? You've already hid in a corner, and you still want to shake things up? Huh? The sound has disappeared. What's going on?"
Zhao Hu began to imitate the action just now: "As soon as I patted my head, the little guy woke up and started to yell at me. When I patted my head again, the little guy was gone again. Haha, it's fun. I just don't slap my head if I have anything to do in the future."
Already."
No one was talking. Zhao Hu felt very bored. He couldn't help but observe the scenery on the roadside, and his heart was filled with worry. He had never heard of this Hongshui County? Forget it, it doesn't matter where you go, as long as you find someone,
You can just ask.
He took out a compass from the workshop and walked north. Finally, when it was getting late, he found a village in the distance. In such troubled times, Zhao Hu would not dare to rush through it, let alone others.
He dared to talk to him, but this boy's previous identity alone made him daunted. Although he had not participated in harming anyone, if he was recognized by others, he would have no choice but to run away.
He walked to a ravine in front of him to avoid the wind, took out water and food to feed the three horses, and stuffed his stomach before sitting down next to the ravine.
He stretched out his hand, took out a pack of camels, took out one, and lit it with a lighter. Suddenly, a small ball of sparks exploded from the butt of the cigarette. Zhao Hu was so frightened that he almost threw away the cigarette. Fortunately, he didn't give up. Although it was a foreign cigarette,
, but it has a filter after all, so if you smoke one, you will lose one.
I took out the cigarette and prepared to flick the ashes, and found that my tongue was a little numb. What's going on? Are my hands dirty? No, there's just some dust!
Zhao Hu couldn't sit still. Could it be that the ground was poisonous? He was holding the cigarette in his right hand just now, and now his tongue was numb. He was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stepped on the cigarette under his feet. Suddenly, a small ball of sparks exploded under his feet.
So quick!
While breaking out in a cold sweat, he became interested in the dust under his feet. He didn't dare to add any more to it, so he had to grab a small handful, climb to the top of the ditch, find a stone leeward, and carefully light a fire before moving forward.
A piece together.
"Poof" a large group of fireworks exploded in front of his eyes. Zhao Hu was so frightened that he suddenly stepped back, his legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.
"Oh my gosh, nitrate, it must be nitrate, natural nitrate, the purity is absolute! Brother posted it! Where has this nitrate been reported before? Let me think about it, by the way, Gaolan, Gao
Huangyagou in Lan County, and Gaolan used to be called Hongshui County, but now it’s become even bigger!”
At that moment, Zhao Hu climbed and crawled down to the bottom of the ditch. No matter it was saltpeter powder or saltpeter granules, he did not let go even the saltpeter in the cave. He collected them all into the warehouse. Anyway, there was a lot of open space inside. Fortunately, he didn't have to dig it himself.
Otherwise, how long will it take to dig out such a large area?
One night, I only collected a shallow layer on the outside. Since there was no light below and I didn't dare to light a fire, I had to wait until daybreak to see again.
After tossing and turning all night, Zhao Hu continued to open at dawn the next day. At least he noticed that the color of the soil underneath had changed. He tasted it with his mouth and found that it was no longer so spicy.
Seeing that the warehouse was more than half full, he was satisfied and called it a day. Although the soil below also contained a lot of saltpeter, Zhao Hu was no longer greedy. With so much saltpeter, he could make many hand grenades, at least in large quantities.
Explosive packs will do, so you don’t have to pile up rice fields anymore.
Zhao Hu got a big gift package unexpectedly. He was so excited that he didn't want to give it up, so he followed his map and headed north. When he met a town, he went to buy some food and drink, and added some clothes. It was still very cold.
My upper legs felt weak, and I didn't dare to ask around, so I could only move forward silently.
There was a big town in front of me. I finally found an honest-looking man. I gave him a small piece of silver and asked him where Baiyin County was. Unexpectedly, the man looked confused and had never heard of this county.
Zhao Hu scratched his head: "No, is this map a pirated version? But piracy can't destroy a city!"
In the end, I had to ask other people how to get to Jingyuan or Jingtai. Fortunately, there are these two place names, and the person said that Jingyuan is in the east, so go straight north to Jingtai, but I heard that the north is not peaceful.
Zhao Hu wanted to continue walking, but his legs started to rebel, so he had to ask around and finally found a church clinic. The clinic was opened by a bearded foreigner. He gave him a few gold coins and said all kinds of good things, saying that he was a caravan.
A handyman encountered bandits on the road, causing the caravan to be dispersed, but he escaped with the help of the horse's speed. Please ask a doctor for treatment.
As soon as he opened the gauze, the doctor named Derek was shocked: "You have a penetrating injury. Logically, if this leg had not been operated on at that time, it should have been disabled long ago. But you are lucky, there is no inflammation or ulceration.
But I have to stay and get treatment, if it drags on any longer, I will have to have my leg amputated."
Zhao Hu didn't know whether what the doctor said was true or not, but he had no choice but to let him perform the surgery on himself. He used a gauze with medicinal powder, trimmed off the broken skin and flesh, and stuffed it directly into the gun hole. Maybe the anesthetic was too little.
, the pain made Zhao Hu break into a cold sweat.
After the operation, Zhao Hu asked the hospital helper Wu San to put his belongings in the ward, and gave him a piece of Guangyang to look after the horses. Speaking of which, this clinic was really dark. Within a few days, he spent more than half of the Guangyang.
Come on, in troubled times, as long as the poor get sick, they can't survive at all.
