Chapter 34
"Let me see."

Li Ang walked forward with the medicine box. The wounded lying on the mat were all traumatic, including fractures, dislocations, abrasions, contusions, and cuts.

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 intertissue bridges between the wound walls.

Neither like a regular cut made by a dagger blade, nor like a piercing.

It's like some kind of blunt instrumental rupture.

Could it be that martial arts masters cut people with chopsticks?
"It can be cured, but whether it will die or not depends 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 wires.

All the villagers at the scene stared, and a family member of a patient couldn't help but ask, "Doctor, this is"

"Suture."

Li Ang replied calmly, disinfecting the silver wire with pure wine.

A knowledgeable person in the village asked in a low voice, "Isn't the bark used for stitching?"

"You mean mulberry white skin, right?"

Li Ang said casually: "Tear off the thicker tendons on the inner side of the mulberry skin, and make the remaining outer skin into thin threads. When you want to use it, put it on the steam of boiling water to fumigate it to make it as soft as new, and then use it for sewing.

It is a no-brainer, but it is still easy to cause wound infection, that is, inflammation.

Silver wire has high tensile strength, small reaction to tissue, simple sterilization, and is not easy to cause inflammation. The disadvantage is that it is expensive. "

Li Ang held a silver hook with a silver thread, and skillfully disinfected, debridement, sutured, and bandaged the wounds of the wounded.

"Fortunately, it's all skin trauma and can be treated with silver wire. If the deep tissue of the abdomen is injured, you can only use catgut."

Since there was no 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 now obtain: silk, catgut and metal.

Silk thread is not absorbed by tissue,

Catgut can be absorbed by tissues, but it has a large response to tissue irritation and is easy to cause infection.
Metal wire has high tensile strength, small reaction to tissue, simple sterilization, and the disadvantage is that it is expensive.

'If you encounter patients with more serious injuries and injuries in the abdomen in the future, you must use catgut that can be absorbed, preferably with iodine treatment to achieve sterilization.

However, the premise of iodine treatment is iodine. To obtain iodine, sulfuric acid and seaweed ash must be found, and the sulfuric acid and the potassium iodide and sodium iodide contained in the seaweed ash can react to generate hydrogen iodide.

Hydrogen iodide then reacts with sulfuric acid to generate free iodine.

And to obtain sulfuric acid, you have to find saltpeter and sulfur, and use the nitrification method.'

Li Ang's stitching movements were skillful and fast, and his thoughts roamed the sky.Modern industry can move the whole body at one stroke, even if it is just a small sterile gut suture, it requires complicated procedures.

A group of villagers and the officers and soldiers of the Zhenfu Division watched in amazement at Li Ang's quick stitching action.

The original hideous and ugly wound was gradually closed under the needle and thread, leaving only a long and narrow scar.

"Tell me in detail how these people were injured."

Cheng Juxiu turned around and looked at Zhou Pingchun.

"Yes."

Zhou Pingchun subconsciously stood up straight and narrated tremblingly.

Two days ago, on the night of May [-], some villagers were sleeping when they heard the barking of dogs and the screaming of goats from their barn.

He thought a wolf came down from the mountain, and immediately went out with a torch and a pole.

His wife rang the gong to wake up the neighbors.

Fighting wolves is the obligation of all the villagers. After all, no one can say whether the wild wolves who sneak into the village will take away their own livestock or children.

The crowd came with shovels and hoes, and used torches to light up the barn. Only then did they find that the door of the barn was open, and a guard dog and three goats were dead inside. Two other lambs were missing, and they were suspected to have been taken captive.

The dead dogs and goats were left with severe bites, scratches, slaps, and some missing limbs.It looks a lot like wolf, leopard, tiger and other ferocious beasts.

Considering that two goats were abducted, it is highly likely that there were three or more wolves.

The village built on the mountain has rich experience in defending against wild wolves. The next day, the villagers and hunters were immediately organized to go up the mountain to find the traces of the wolves.

During the search, hunter Wang Liubao's hound was attacked and dragged away. Wang Liubao stepped forward to chase, but failed to catch up.

"Are you Wang Liubao?"

Cheng Juxiu glanced at the dull and honest hunter with a bow on his back, "Did you see what attacked the hound?"

"Just a little bit."

Wang Liubao nodded fearfully, and said with an accent: "That thing was lying on the ground, with long black hair on its body, like a wolf, it jumped out of the grass, killed my dog ​​and dragged it into the grass in one fell swoop. I didn't even have time to shoot."

Cheng Juxiu frowned slightly, "The body is covered with long black hair?"

"Yes, this morning we organized people to go up the mountain again to find it, and many people saw it."

Zhou Pingchun said: "That thing was like a big wolf without a tail, rushing down from the mountain and breaking through all the fishing nets we arranged.

The hunters in the village shot arrows at it, but they couldn't even shoot through its hair. Instead, it rushed into the crowd, injuring many people.
It was not driven away until the whole village, young and old, chased it away with torches.

You see, this is a broken fishing net. "

"On all fours, with long black hair on the body, no tail, infinite strength, impenetrable by swords and guns, and afraid of fire"

Cheng Juxiu summed up several characteristics and frowned in thought.

"Xing Pao, could it be Sha Hai'er?"

Niu Wenshu asked: "The monsters, the fifth level, one, three, one.

It looks like a wolf, and its strength is boundless. The beasts in the mountains will smile when they see it, and throw themselves into their arms and let it be devoured. Someone once witnessed it in Liangxi Huishan 60 years ago. "

"It's possible."

Cheng Juxiu nodded and said, "But there are too many low-level demons and demons with similar characteristics.

Based on the characteristics of black hair and invulnerability, it may also be [raccoon dog], [rhinoceros], [human wolf].

Specifically, that is still to be tested further.

Bull Judge, let the sniffing dogs go. "

"Yes."

Niu Wenshu turned around and asked his subordinates to bring a small black and white dog.

The dog is slender, with slender limbs, drooping ears, blunt and rounded tips, and especially 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 small dog is a breed specially cultivated by the Zhenfu Division. It has been rigorously screened and trained since childhood, and each one is produced in Chang'an.

It can sniff a variety of odors, including blood, sweat, alcohol, and sachets, and track and lock at a long distance.

Over the past 300 years, he has helped Zhenfusi and local yamen cracked thousands of cases, and eliminated a large number of human traffickers who harvested and cut them. "

Cheng Juxiu explained it casually,
The soldier of Zhenfu Division, who was in charge of leading the small dog to sniff the broken fishing net, had a proud expression on his face.

Although in a sense, the rank of this fine dog is higher than him.
