Chapter 34 Fine Dog
"Let me see."
Li Ang walked forward with the medicine box, and the wounded lying on the mat suffered from trauma, fractures, dislocations, abrasions, contusions, and cuts.
Among them, the wound traces of the incision wound are very strange. The wound is long, the wound cavity is boat-shaped, the wound wall is rough, and there are inter-tissue bridges between the wound walls.
Neither like a regular incision made by a dagger blade, nor like a piercing.
It looks like some kind of strange blunt instrument contusion.
Could it be that a martial arts master cut someone with chopsticks?
"It can be cured, but whether you will die or not depends mainly on whether the wound is infected or not."
Li Ang took out a simple mask and gloves from the medicine box, put them on for himself, and took out a bundle of silver wire.
All the villagers on the scene stared straight at the scene, and a family member of a patient couldn't help asking: "Doctor, what is this?"
"Sewing thread."
Li Ang replied calmly, using pure wine to disinfect the silver thread.
An experienced person in the village asked in a low voice, "Isn't the bark used for sutures?"
"You mean Morus alba, right?"
Li Ang said casually: "Tear off the thicker tendons on the inner side of the mulberry bark, and make thin threads from the remaining outer bark. When you need to use it, put it in the steam of boiling water to fumigate it to make it soft as new, and use it for sewing.
is a no-way solution, but it is still easy to cause wound infection, that is, inflammation.
If silver wire is used, it has high tensile strength, little reaction to tissue, easy sterilization, and is not easy to cause inflammation. The disadvantage is that it is expensive. "
Li Ang held a silver hook tied with a silver thread, and skillfully disinfected, debrided, sutured, and bandaged the wounds of the wounded.
"Fortunately, the wounds are all skin trauma, and silver wire can be used to treat them. If the deep abdominal tissue is injured, the only option is catgut."
Because there was no means of anesthesia, Li Ang dealt with the trauma as quickly as possible to relieve the pain of the wounded.
There are three types of surgical sutures he can get now, silk, catgut and metal.
Silk threads are not absorbed by tissue,
Sheep catgut can be absorbed by tissues, but it reacts strongly to tissue stimulation and is easy to cause infection.
Metal wire has high tensile strength, little tissue reaction, and easy sterilization, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive.
‘If you encounter a patient with a more serious injury in the abdomen in the future, you must use absorbable catgut, and it is best to treat it with iodine to achieve sterility.
However, the premise of iodine treatment is iodine. To obtain iodine, you must find sulfuric acid and seaweed ash, and let the sulfuric acid react with potassium iodide and sodium iodide contained in seaweed ash to form hydrogen iodide.
Hydrogen iodide reacts with sulfuric acid to generate free iodine.
To obtain sulfuric acid, we have to find saltpeter and sulfur, and use the nitrification method.’
Li Ang's sewing movements are skillful and fast, and his thoughts roam the sky. Modern industry affects the whole body, even if it is just a small sterile sheep intestine suture, it needs complicated procedures.
A group of villagers and soldiers of the Zhenfu Division watched Li Ang's fast stitching in amazement.
The originally hideous and ugly wounds gradually closed under the stitches, leaving only long and narrow scars.
"Tell me in detail how these people were injured."
Cheng Juxiu turned his head and looked at Zhou Pingchun.
"yes."
Zhou Pingchun subconsciously stood up straight, and began to narrate tremblingly.
Two days ago, that is, on the night of May 17, some villagers were asleep and heard dogs barking and goats screaming from their barn.
He thought it was a wild wolf coming down from the mountain, so he immediately went out with a torch and a pole.
Wolf hunting is the responsibility of all villagers. After all, no one can say whether the wild wolves who sneak into the village will steal their livestock or children.
The people came with shovels and hoes, and lit the barn with torches, only to find that the door of the barn was open, and a watchdog, three goats were dead inside, and two lambs were missing, suspected of being kidnapped.
The dead dogs and goats all had severe bites, scratches, and slaps, and some limbs were missing. It looked like a ferocious beast like a wolf, leopard, or tiger did it.
Considering that two goats were taken away, it is very likely that there were three or more wolves.
The village built by the mountains has rich experience in defending against wild wolves. The next day, the villagers and hunters were immediately organized to go up the mountain to look for wolves.
During the search, Orion Wang Liubao's hunting dog was attacked and dragged away. Wang Liubao stepped forward to catch up, but failed to catch up.
"Are you Wang Liubao?"
Cheng Juxiu glanced at the dull and honest Orion with a bow on his back, "Did you see the thing that attacked the hound?"
"Only saw a little bit."
Wang Liubao nodded in trepidation, and said with an accent: "That thing was lying on the ground, with long black hair growing on its body, like a wolf, it jumped out of the grass, bit my dog to death, and dragged it into the grass. I didn't even have time to shoot an arrow."
Cheng Juxiu frowned slightly, "The body is covered with long black hair?"
"Yes, this morning we organized people to go up the mountain to search again, and many people have seen it."
Zhou Pingchun said: "That thing is like a big wolf without a tail, rushing down from the mountain, breaking through all the fishing nets we have set up.
The Orion in the village shot arrows at it, but it couldn't even pierce its hair. Instead, it rushed into the crowd and injured many people.
It was not driven away until the whole village, old and young, drove it away with torches.
Look, this is a broken fishing net. "
"Limbs on the ground, body covered with long black hair, no tail, infinite strength, invulnerable, afraid of fire"
Cheng Juxiu summed up several characteristics, frowning and thinking.
"Xing Xun, could it be Sand Boy?"
Niu Wenshu asked: "Demons, level five, one three one.
Looks like a wolf, with infinite strength, the beasts in the mountains will smile when they see it, and throw themselves into their arms and let it be devoured. Sixty years ago, someone witnessed it in Liangxi Huishan. "
"It's possible."
Cheng Juxiu nodded and said: "However, there are too many low-level demons and demons with similar characteristics.
Based on black hair, invulnerability and other characteristics, it may also be [raccoon dog], [rhinoceros dog], [human wolf].
The specific kind is further tested.
Judge Niu, let the sniffing dogs go. "
"yes."
Niu Wenshu turned around and asked his subordinates to lead a black and white fine dog.
The dog has a slender body, slender limbs, drooping ears, blunt and round ear tips, and particularly agile and alert eyes.
Even though he ran the fifteen-mile mountain road with the horse riding team just now, he didn't show much fatigue.
"This kind of fine dog is a breed specially bred within the Zhenfu Department. It has been rigorously screened and trained since childhood, and each one is produced in Chang'an.
It can sniff out various odors including blood stains, sweat stains, alcohol, and sachets, and perform long-distance tracking and locking.
Over the past three hundred years, he has helped Zhen Fusi and local yamen cracked thousands of cases, and eliminated a large number of human traffickers who harvested and cut them. "
Cheng Juxiu explained casually,
The Zhenfu Division soldier who was in charge of leading the fine dog to sniff out the broken fishing nets had a proud expression on his face.
Although in a sense, this fine dog has a higher military rank than him.
