Chapter 55: Pick Up the Bullet
The white ape looked at Ming Yan with confused eyes, as if to say, will you cure the disease?
After a night of getting along, Xiaolan no longer had a trace of fear for this strange-looking ape, and ran over to pull the big furry hand and said, "Brother Monkey, don't worry, Brother Mingyan's medical skills are very good." ”
The white ape grinned and smirked, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, which looked particularly cute, and did not explain how Yan's medical skills were, for Xiaolan, the "little sister" of the monkey brother who opened his mouth and closed his mouth, he was still very relieved, so he picked up a piece of animal skin from the ground and dragged his body clumsily, walked to Ming Yan's side, and sat down on the animal skin on the ground.
This guy is very particular, Ming Yan smiled secretly, after seeing the leg wound of the white ape, he couldn't help but be shocked, this ape's two legs were all gunshot wounds, at first he thought it was the kind of double-barreled shotgun in the countryside, but after a closer look, he knew that it was a rifle, the caliber was about eight to nine millimeters, and the bullet was still in the flesh, fortunately it did not hurt the bones, otherwise it would be useless in this life, and even starved to death in the cave because its legs were disabled and could not get out.
Judging from the scabbed blood around the wound and the erosive skin inside, this situation has not been a day or two, at least it has dragged on for half a month or even longer, but fortunately, it is now winter, if it is summer, I am afraid that the whole cave will stink.
Ming Yan admired the perseverance of this monkey from the bottom of his heart, when they met for the first time last night, the other party looked like he was jumping around, and he couldn't tell that there was a wound on his leg, as for why its wound suddenly deteriorated later, the explanation given by Ming Yan was goose meat.
Yes, the problem lies with the two swans, whether the swans or the domestic geese, their physical characteristics are similar.
As early as ancient times, people knew that goose meat belonged to a kind of hair, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang once sent a steamed goose to his generals, when the general had sores on his back and pus to recuperate at home, but after eating the steamed goose, it didn't take long for him to die, and Zhu Yuanzhang also removed a big trouble.
This story also told people in later generations that they can't eat goose meat after being injured, especially those who have undergone surgery, when a person is sick, his internal organs are more humid and hot, and then excessive consumption of goose meat, it will be more humid and hot, so that the body can not recover for a long time, and it will aggravate the condition, even if the cholesterol of goose meat is low, but its fat is very high, for some people with three high diseases, especially people with high blood pressure and high blood lipids should eat less goose meat.
Half of these inferences come from the folk, and the other half can be traced back to the medical notebook written by Huang Yougui, so there is nothing wrong with that.
"Quack—"
The white ape was about to scratch with his fingernails because of the itchy wound, Ming Yan picked up a branch and hit it the center of its hand, it quacked in pain, and stared at Ming Yan fiercely.
Xiaolan said softly: "Brother Monkey, if you want to get better quickly, you have to listen to Brother Mingyan, and besides, your fingernails are poisonous, and the more you scratch the wound, the more itchy it will be." ”
Mingyan nodded with satisfaction, the little girl's words did get to the point, there are two major poisons in the human body, one is teeth and two nails, a good piece of skin If you scratch it with your nails from time to time, it will become something after a long time, which is why doctors and nurses in many places are not allowed to keep nails.
So before taking the bomb, he gave Xiaolan a task - that is, to cut off the long nails of the white ape that were kept like the Empress Dowager Cixi, the white ape was a little resistant at first, but under Xiaolan's repeated good words and persuasion, it sat there very tamely, and let Xiaolan trim its nails for it.
The next job is to take the bullet for the white ape, but Ming Yan currently only has a rusty fruit knife and a little anti-inflammatory medicine on hand, plus some fine needles for acupuncture, no anesthetic, no disinfectant water, and even no gauze to tie the wound, so the difficulties can be imagined.
Seeing Ming Yan's sad face, the white ape seemed to have understood the difficulty in the other party's heart, and stretched out his big furry hand to pat Ming Yan's shoulder, his eyes were full of affirmation.
Ming Yan could only say guiltily: "Brother Monkey, it may be a little painful for a while, you bear with it." ”
The white ape nodded firmly.
The process of taking the bomb was relatively smooth, except for the wood contained in the white ape's mouth was bitten off several times, but there was no oolong incident.
After the wound bullet was removed, Ming Yan quickly poured the anti-inflammatory medicine that had been pounded into powder on it, there was no bandage, only some clean strips of cloth instead, as long as the wound was not exposed, there was no problem.
The white ape thanked Ming Yan gratefully, and Ming Yan was already tired and sweating, and smiled at it casually.
This is the second time he has been treated by himself, but this time it is obviously more stressful than last time, last time it was to save people, this time it was to save monkeys, last time he didn't use the knife, this time he moved two knives.
When he operated just now, the white ape's painful limbs struggled, his facial features were twisted together, and a pair of big hands kept pulling his head on the ground, and the hard stone was stunned by it to scratch two holes.
Although Ming Yan used vines to fix all its limbs on the stone to prevent it from moving, he was still a little worried that it would break the rope on his body because of the pain, and then make more crazy moves, so he didn't dare to take it lightly during the whole operation.
"Brother Monkey, do you still have that pill?" Mingyan and the white ape sat together on the hillside outside the cave, basking in the sun and chatting about the sky.
The white ape shook his head regretfully, and then pointed to the other party's stomach, Ming Yan knew that it was trying to say, there is only one pill, but it has already reached your stomach, Ming Yan said with some shame: "Brother Monkey, you are injured more seriously than me, you could have kept the medicine for yourself, but you left the medicine to me, thank you very much." ”
The white ape rattled and said that this medicine is already commonplace for it, and because of taking this pill for a long time, its body has produced immune antibodies, and the pill will be directly assimilated and diluted by the antibodies before it reaches the stomach, and it will not play any role.
As for the origin of the pill, it couldn't explain it for a while, only that it was left by a famous doctor.
Ming Yan has always had a mystery in his heart, when he was a child, he heard the old people say that the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Binhai City are haunted, and this statement is not a matter of one or two years, it is said that there is such a legend since the Qing Dynasty, can it be said that the white ape was born in the Qing Dynasty? Then according to the time calculation, it is at least more than 100 years old.
There is also this cave, judging from the chisel marks in the stone wall, it should be artificially deliberate, the entrance of the cave is inclined inward, facing the sky, so the biggest advantage is that it is conducive to hiding, it is difficult for people to find such a big cave here under the mountain, unless they climb to the top of the mountain, of course, because of the dangerous terrain here, if you are not careful, you will slide into the abyss, no one will be willing to risk such a danger to climb to the top of the mountain.
Ming Yan boldly speculated, a few decades ago, there was an old doctor who carried a bamboo basket up the mountain to collect medicine, and finally climbed to the top of the mountain and found this white ape, and just in time for the white ape and other animals to fight and be injured in the cave to recuperate, the old doctor saved it and gave it a few body-tonifying pills, the white ape had a lot of strength after eating, and since then there is no need to be bullied by those beasts.
Such an explanation seems reasonable, Ming Yan smiled, and said in his heart that he was really a joker who could make up stories.
"Quack——,quack—"
The white ape suddenly pointed to the distance and suddenly shouted impatiently, shouting while pushing Xiaolan, who was sitting at the entrance of the cave basking in the sun, into the cave, with a few gunshots, five or six bullets passed by Ming Yan's side, two of which fell on the stone wall, leaving a hole the size of a ping-pong ball, and a thick smell of gunsmoke came to the nose.
It is possible to shoot in a place where no one is detected, and the crosshairs are still so high, there is only one possibility, that is, there is a sniper lurking on a hill in the distance, and judging from the direction of the warhead, the other party should be two people.
At first, Ming Yan thought that the white ape's leg wound was left by a rifle bullet, but he didn't expect that the other party had a lot of background, and he could have such equipment and level, there were only two possibilities, this group of people was either the military or the police snipers, but from the perspective of China's protection of animals, whether it was the police or the military, they would never hunt animals easily.
No matter who they were, it was obvious that they had been fighting the white ape for more than a day or two, and those bullets just now were deliberately missed, the purpose was to force the white ape down the mountain, and they wanted to catch it alive.
Ming Yan didn't have time to dwell on these now, it was better to save his life first, the other party could let the white ape go, and he might not be merciful to him, an uninvited guest, so he immediately climbed into the cave with a rolling belt, and together with Xiaolan, he helped the white ape close the thick stone door, leaving only a small gap next to it.
The gunshots continued to sound outside, and the bullets snapped on the stone gate, and suddenly the dust was flying, and it seemed that they would not be able to get out for a while, but if it continued like this, the white ape would be caught by them sooner or later, and they had to find a way to pull out the two nails on the opposite hill as soon as possible.
