Chapter 18 to the West
Ma Shaoteng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and it was too important for a soldier to be able to deal with wounds.
Injuries are the most common thing in soldiers, and some people will be injured in training and fighting.
In the barracks, there is a shortage of Langzhong, and he can only give priority to senior officers and serious illnesses and injuries, and he has no time to take care of ordinary sergeants, and he can't take care of some minor injuries in time.
If some swords, guns and arrows are treated in time, for a sergeant, it is tantamount to saving a life at a critical time.
Ma Shaoteng accompanied the smiling face and said, "Miss Wang, Sister Siyi, I also look at itchy hands, and I also want to learn some skills in sewing clothes, why don't you teach me too?"
provoked Wang Siyi to roll his eyes, but he did not refuse.
"Wound treatment is actually very simple, the wound is cleaned, sutured, and the powder is applied. Just to clean the wound, you need to use spirits. ”
"Duo Lie?" Ma Shaoteng asked.
Lei Shaoxuan is just a teenager with no life experience, he can only listen and learn, but he will not ask questions.
"The stronger, the better. Wang Siyi said.
"But there may not be liquor on the battlefield or in the death row camp, what should I do?" said Ma Shaoteng.
"No, you can use boiling water. Wang Siyi thought for a while and said: "The field battlefield, the conditions are simple, there is really no these, I guess it is okay to use the water of the snowy mountains, the clear spring water is also acceptable, but the muddy water must not be used, but the last cleaning must be done with wine." ”
"After the wound is sutured, apply the plaster powder and change the dressing on time. I have already prepared some medicines for you and written you a few prescriptions, so that you can take them with you at all times in case of accidents. ”
"In the camp, you should wash your feet and bathe frequently, don't drink unboiled water, and wash your hands before and after meals......," Wang Siyi told Lei Shaoxuan.
"Where can it be so exquisite? It's a barracks, a prison cell. Ma Shaoteng muttered.
"Hmph, if you don't want to get sick, do what I say, if you can't do it, it's nothing more than laziness. ”
Ma Shaoteng smiled bitterly.
"Now you should practice sewing the dog's belly first. ”
Wang Siyi pouted and said, "Do you think that killing dogs is for you to eat? ”
turned around and left, still muttering: "It's been a long time since I've made a dog skin plaster, and it's really fragrant to think about dog meat." ”
Lei Shaoxuan stayed in Jirentang for five days, and although he did not recover, the prisoner escort could no longer be delayed. Fortunately, Lei Shaoxuan's body is still weak, but his illness is no longer hindered, and when he is on the road, he does not need to walk the whole way, as long as he feels tired, Hu Youde can still carry him.
Ma Shaoteng also stayed with Jirentang for five days.
Originally, Ma Shaoteng took care of Lei Shaoxuan, for the sake of Gongsun Qian's face, these days have been getting along day and night, and the relationship between the two has really become closer, and Wang Siyi has repeatedly threatened that if Lei Shaoxuan is not sent to the sea of bitterness safely, it is estimated that he will not have the face to see Wang Siyi.
Five days passed, Wang Siyi had no choice but to bid farewell to Lei Shaoxuan, after all, the military affairs were located, and they could not be delayed.
Wang Siyi gave Lei Shaoxuan a package, attached with a lot of specially configured medicines, and a set of tools for suturing and treating trauma. In the years that followed, this set of small tools saved Lei Shaoxuan's life countless times, shed countless scars on his body, and accompanied Lei Shaoxuan through many years of hardship and suffering.
Lei Shaoxuan took a deep look at Shen Weiyong and thanked the first teacher who taught him to observe the world in the most difficult years of his life. He taught Lei Shaoxuan how to observe the environment, use people's hearts, build confidence, and establish life goals, so that Lei Shaoxuan initially understood the complexity of human nature and did not let Lei Shaoxuan sink.
Although Lei Shaoxuan was still ignorant, Shen Weiyong had already taught Lei Shaoxuan to open a door to observe the world.
Shen Weiyong and Wang Siyi stood in the city tower, watching Lei Shaoxuan slowly disappear behind the rolling hills with the team.
......
To the west of Kami-gun, it is called Saikaido.
The Saikaido winds along the banks of the Huanshui River to the west.
The water has dried up, and both sides are plateaus with loess accumulation, called Tuyuan.
The earth plain is thousands of miles in circumference, and there is little drought and rain all year round. On the vast soil plain, there is pure loess, not an inch of grass grows, a tree does not grow, only between the cracks and rifts of the soil plain, there are occasional sparse willows, grasslands, and people.
For tens of thousands of years, the Huanshui cut through the soil plain, forming a narrow canyon plain on both sides of the riverbank, because the Huanshui has dried up for a long time, the canyon plain is only sparsely covered with wild grass, and the roads are barren.
In recent years, the Saikaido has been plagued by drought and starvation, so much so that most of the people along the way have fled the famine, and the villages have been abandoned, often walking for days without seeing a single village with no people.
"Another corpse. Hu Youde covered his nose and said.
Leaving Shangsi County and walking on the Saikaido, I have lost count of how many corpses I have encountered on the side of the road.
Lei Shaoxuan had seen too many corpses, but he was still very shocked when he saw this corpse.
It was a child, only a few years old, scrawny, with hollow eyes, cloudy eyes, showing a frightened gaze, maggots surging on the corpse, flies "buzzing" and flying, apparently dead for a long time.
Despite starvation, it was rare to see the corpses of children along the way. In the years of famine, children were easily sold and raised, and even if they died, they would be buried.
Most of the children who died on the side of the road were really desperate adults, so that the children were not able to raise them, which also showed that most of the families here were in a desperate situation, even if they fled the famine, they could not afford to take the children, otherwise the children would be a saleable property.
Lei Shaoxuan was already calm about life and death, but Lei Shaoxuan felt the hardships of the world for the first time at this moment.
Perhaps life and death are not the most tragic things in the world. Lei Shaoxuan thought to himself and forced himself to calm down. In any case, the road has to be taken step by step.
The team walked forward slowly, the sun was so hot that Lei Shaoxuan was so scorched that his eyes were full of stars.
"It is said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, and the god Houyi shot down nine of them. These nine suns set on the earth, so that the earthland was extremely arid, and no grass grows, and finally the god of Houyi also died of thirst in the earth, and his body turned into water. ”
"Since ancient times, the Huanshui has dried up and there is no water, and only in the rainy season in July it gathers rainwater to form a river, and the rest of the time it is just a barren beach and dry riverbed. "Beichuan Yashou Yu Zhengdao.
"I can't find anyone anymore, so I can only drink urine. A sergeant said.
"How do you drink pee?"
"Of course you drink Lao Tzu's urine, Lao Tzu drinks your urine, and no one takes advantage of anyone. ”
", drinking urine has become a advantage? Why don't you drink Lao Tzu's urine? No matter enough, Lao Tzu won't drink your urine. ”
"Don't be hard-mouthed, can you pee if you don't have water to drink?"
“......”
The sun is so hot that when you look around, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon seem to be shining with the sun everywhere.
Everyone had a parchy mouth, chapped lips, blank eyes, and staggered steps.
"Master Ma, it's not okay to go on like this. A sergeant said to Ma Shaoteng, "It's better to walk along the riverbed and see if you can find the remaining puddles." ”
Ma Shaoteng looked at Yu Kai, the official who led the way, and Yu Kai shook his head.
"The soil plain is full of loose loess, and there is no way to hide water, otherwise there would be no grass and trees for thousands of miles, and there would be no waste of effort, and there would definitely be no puddles in the riverbed. ”
Yu Zheng raised his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "The only plan today is to find people, let's walk along the riverbank road, while keeping an eye on the riverbed, to see if there is any green in the riverbed." But where there is abundant grass and trees in the riverbed, there may be water holes in the ground, and most of them can dig out water, and even if there is no water, the roots of grass and trees can quench hunger and thirst. ”
Where does the green come from? Where does the green come from? Everywhere you see, above the loess, the heat is steaming, and people seem to float up, and everything they see is distorted and blurred.
In Lei Shaoxuan's eyes, everyone's figure is like a piece of paper, illusory.
Suddenly, a man in front of him twisted and fell directly to the ground, and the chains were pulled, causing the prisoners in that group to stumble to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Ma Shaoteng saw this and stepped forward to ask.
"It's too weak, it's no longer good. A prisoner shook his head and said, "For half a day, he almost couldn't walk, and I was dragging him." ”
The sergeant unfastened the chain and turned the prisoner over who had fallen to the ground.
The prisoner's eyes were closed, his face was pale, his face was chapped and haggard, his clothes were ragged, and his neck, wrists, and chains were black and purple, and in some places ulcerated and pus.
These parts are prone to injury, and experienced prisoners are wrapped in cloth so that they do not wear out, and the ulceration is so bad, apparently some days.
A sergeant looked at Ma Shaoteng, and Ma Shaoteng nodded.
The sergeant took out several large iron nails and nailed the wooden shackles around the prisoner's neck, then stuffed the iron lock keyhole on the chain with an iron bar, took an iron chain and locked the foot, and several people dragged the prisoner to the side of the road and left him to fend for himself.
Lei Shaoxuan's heart was not shocked, he felt a little numb, he knew that he couldn't do anything, taking this prisoner would only kill more people.
But the sergeant could not let him go, after all, he was a death row prisoner. Nail the wooden shackles and plug the keyholes to prevent someone from saving him. Anyone who sees a nailed wooden flail and a plugged keyhole knows that it is a government felon, extremely dangerous, and helping such a prisoner will be regarded as an accomplice.
Hu Youde wanted to carry Lei Shaoxuan on his back, after all, Lei Shaoxuan's illness had just recovered, and his body was still weak, but Lei Shaoxuan resolutely disagreed, so Hu Youde had no choice but to help Lei Shaoxuan move forward.
Hu Youde found that Lei Shaoxuan seemed to be a different person, but Shaoyu was firm and could not be refused.
Lei Shaoxuan didn't know that he had changed, he had a new view of life, he was not afraid of death, but more of awe of the meaning of life.
Such a hard trek, death will die, but you can't affect the relatives around you, Lei Shaoxuan regards Hu Youde as a relative, if he hadn't been with him all the way, he would have died on the road a long time ago.
In the past, Lei Shaoxuan was extremely afraid of death, and he wished that Hu Youde always carried him on his back, but now he knows that the meaning of life lies in the meaning of every step, not to live longer.
Lei Shaoxuan tried his best to follow step by step.
