Chapter 53: Heat Stroke
"Oh~" Tucker stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, and said with some confusion, "I thought Sister Ke'er, I thought of a new food recipe!"
Just yesterday, Tucker also ate it, the rare boiled fat sausage, although it is a little troublesome to clean, and it is very smelly, but the taste of the boiled is so good, I can't even tell where the tongue is when I eat it, and saliva is flowing out of my mouth when I think about it.
"Little Tucker, how did you spend the dry season before?" Ye Ke put away all kinds of unrealistic thoughts, and continued to hold his head and chat with Tucker.
During this time, he was just busy making jerky, to be honest, Ye Ke probably guessed that the life of the clansmen would not be easy at that time, but after the dry season approached, they were subjected to this high temperature every day, but they were curious about how the people of the primitive society survived in such a cruel environment.
Hearing Ye Ke's question, Tucker didn't think much about it, "Well, when the dry season is coming, I eat enough every day, and when the dry season comes, I stay in the cave and don't go out." ”
"Don't you eat during the dry season?" Ye Ke was surprised, do these clansmen have any special ability, like camels, they can go without eating for a long time when they are full.
"No," Tucker was about to say when there was a shouting and shouting from outside.
It sounds like a male crying out something, very sad...
"Please have mercy on the witch doctor and save Kelly!"
"Witch Doctor, please save Kelly!"
Hearing the shout, Ye Ke stood up and walked to the edge of the cave to look out, a tanned male, holding an unconscious female, kneeling not far away, his face was crying with tears, and a few drops fell to the ground, but the weather was too hot, and it dried up before it flowed down.
"What's going on~" Grandma Ona also put down the animal skin she was sorting out in her hand and ran over to see.
"It's Kelly. After speaking, he looked at Ye Ke, I don't know if I should let people in, the cave of ordinary clansmen, without permission, can't let people come in casually.
'On such a hot day, the female can't be suffering from heat stroke. Ye Ke hurriedly beckoned someone to come in and asked the male to put the man on the stone bed.
People surrounded Kelly, their faces were not very good-looking, the clansmen who had this situation in the past would not wake up, Tuya also looked sad, and looked at the male angrily, "It's really useless not to protect your female." ’
"It's all my fault,... It's all to blame for not taking a good look at Kelly, she... She came out to help with jerky... After a while... It didn't take long to... Whining... It's all my fault..."This male has been crying miserably, making Ye Ke inexplicable, suspecting that he was wrong, this female named Kelly, could it be that she has other diseases.
Then Ye Ke checked Kelly, her body was very fat, but compared to other females, she was still a little slimmer, wearing a one-piece animal skin skirt, and it was hot to look at.
At this time, her face was flushed, her lips were chapped, and she was sweating all over, "I should have suffered from heat stroke, I sweated so much, I'm afraid she is still a little dehydrated." ’
To figure out the reason, Ye Ke asked Tuya to make a few cuts to dissipate heat on the waist and abdomen of Kaili's animal skin skirt, as well as the back position, and asked the male to use the animal skin dipped in cold water to help her wipe her face, neck, and armpits to lower her temperature.
And Ye Ke went to find two cups, one with some salt in it, and the other with a spoonful of jam in it to melt with water, hurriedly brought it over, handed it to the male, and asked him to help feed it.
I remember that people who suffer from heat stroke need to supplement normal saline, and Ye Ke thinks that salt water and sweet water should be able to replace normal saline and glucose.
"Kerr... Does this really work?" Tuya helped to help Kelly, she could feel that the person was already very weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.
"How did you treat this situation before?" Ye Ke looked at the people with a sad face, thinking that there was something wrong with his method.
Listening to Ye Ke's words, the expression on Tuya's face sank a little more, "The clansmen who have 'heat sickness' are basically dead. "Therefore, in the tribe, when the temperature rises, it is forbidden for the 'weak' females who have not awakened the beast soul to go out of the cave.
"Huh?" Ye Ke couldn't believe it, as long as he cooled down and replenished water in time after heat stroke, he would basically be relieved, but he didn't expect that the people here would die because they couldn't be treated.
Suddenly, she didn't know what to say, and she couldn't count the ignorance of the Luo people, after all, in the primitive society, pharmacological knowledge and medical conditions were indeed backward.
Fortunately, Wolf Yue and Tuya pondered and made a lot of small spoons before, and it was very convenient to feed the water, and after a while, two glasses of water were poured into Kelly's stomach, but the person still didn't wake up, and the temperature outside the cave was not a joke these days.
He also asked the male to keep cooling Kelly, and fed some cool white to drive in, although he still didn't wake up, his breathing was much stronger.
"Huhu~" Kelly suddenly gasped for breath and slowly opened her eyes, "Neil? What's going on~"
She felt very dizzy, her brain was still beating and hurting, her stomach was also very uncomfortable, and she was nauseous for a while, Kelly remembered that she helped collect the jerky, thinking that the dry season had not yet arrived, and she should be fine, but she didn't expect that after standing for a while, she didn't know anything.
The male, named Neil, is one of Kelly's three males, but not her partner, and when he sees the person waking up, he is excited and tears flow together, "You have 'heat sickness', is... It was the witch doctor who saved you~"
"'Heat?'" Kelly struggled to remember, but she still had no strength and turned her head to look around.
It was the petite and thin female at the festival, Kelly looked at Ye Ke for a while, "The witch doctor is so beautiful~" Although she is a little thin, somehow, she also wants to be a little thinner.
"Thank you, Lord Witch Doctor, for saving me, really... Thank you..."Kelly felt that she had walked on the edge of life and death, and she felt a chill in her back when she thought about it, and she was extremely afraid, if she went to see the beast god like this, her three males would definitely be worse than dead.
At this time, several people around looked at Ye Ke excitedly, and their eyes also revealed awe.
Lifting his body uncomfortably, Ye Ke poured another glass of salt water and sweet water for Kelly, "The 'heat sickness' you are talking about is actually not so terrible. ”
After bringing the water to Kelly, she continued, "If you get faint from the sun, rub your body with cold water in time to cool down, and then feed some salt water, you will usually be fine." ”
"To put it simply, it's because it's too hot to faint, so don't worry about it in the future, and deal with it in time. After Ye Ke finished speaking, he looked at a few more people, how did he feel that their faces were even worse.
