Chapter 128: The Ox and the Man
Save a cow or save a person? It may be a question that does not need to be thought about at all in modern society, but it is really in front of us at this moment, and many people find it difficult to choose, including this woman's husband.
The man kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said nothing when his companion said that he couldn't kill the cow, his attitude of not speaking was already very clear, and he was also hesitating!
Yang Zixi's eyes widened, she couldn't understand this mentality of preferring to sacrifice her wife to keep the calf.
The woman's wound had been exposed for a long time, and because it was located in the abdomen, in addition to the severe blood loss, there was also a high chance of infection in the abdominal cavity, so the longer it dragged on, the more unlikely it was to be rescued. The horn was stuck in the woman's wound, and it was not clear what was inside, and it was not known whether it had hurt the peritoneum. If it is pulled out suddenly, it will bleed heavily, and it is easy to drag the internal organs out of the body, so the best way is of course to cut off the horns of the cow and take the woman back to take a film, and see the internal trauma clearly before making a decision. However, in the absence of a chainsaw, it is almost impossible to cut the horn from the middle, and the only way to dig the horn out of the root is to dig it out entirely.
Digging the horns from the roots, the cow naturally can't survive, for Yang Zixi, there is no doubt about killing the cow and protecting the people, but it is ......
She was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, and still looked at Yang: "Get ready, wait for Xiaoshi and they bring the anesthetic, anesthetize the cow first, and then you cut off the horns......"
"You don't have the right to do that! This cow belongs to our village, how can it survive if it has its horns cut off? Doesn't that mean killing it? The man who had spoken out against it earlier said hurriedly.
Yang Zixi said coldly: "I'm not a veterinarian, I only care about people's lives and deaths!" ”
"Then we don't want you to save it, can't we?" The man said indignantly.
"No! Since you ......," Yang Zixi was just about to speak. But she was pulled by Sister-in-law Yu and asked: "Little master, the croppers have the difficulties of the croppers." Ploughing cattle are different from cattle on the side, and the government is not allowed to slaughter them at will. Ploughing cattle, even if it is a calf, it is also registered, if it is not for the death of disease and old age, the person who kills the cow in private will be severely investigated and punished by the government, and the light will be beaten forty boards, and the heavy may be punished for forced labor, not only that, but I heard that the whole village will also sit together, so this cow really can't be killed! Little master. Is there any way you can just pull out the horns and heal the wound? ”
"It's too risky to pull it out!" Yang Zixi shook his head and said, "The best treatment plan I chose is naturally, the horns are deep into the abdominal cavity, the internal damage is unknown, and it will only backfire if you pull it out rashly!" I can only further examine the horns before I can perform further examinations, and after confirming the situation, I will have 100% confidence in rescuing her, but if I pull it out directly...... It's the same as gambling! ”
"I ...... I'm willing to take a risk! The man kneeling first stood up and said in a deep voice.
Yang Zixi's gaze was from his body. Transferred to the people around her, including everyone in Renhwatang, almost everyone looked at her with expectant eyes, hoping that she would say, 'Good!' No problem! Or, 'OK!' I can do it! ’
She suddenly realized. After all, this is not the twenty-first century that she is familiar with, but backward antiquity. It is a crime to kill a cow, so even if the cow hurts someone. Nor can it be killed, as for the wounded woman...... If it's gone, it's gone. Who told her to die badly?
Her gaze returned to the man, and she said with a little anger, "Why did you decide whether to live or die for her?" ”
"Just because I'm her man!" The man's answer was reasonable. "There are still five children in the family to feed, if I kill this cow because I saved her, it doesn't matter if I am arrested by the government and beaten by the government, our family will be punished as slaves! Instead of letting the family be unlucky, I want Xiuying to ...... Will forgive me! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! Suyoung is my own sister! Don't I want her to be good? The man who initially opposed the killing of the cow also wiped his tears and said, "But do you know what it means to kill a ploughing ox for our village?" I...... We can't afford it! ”
Yang Zixi sighed and said: "Save the life or not save the dead, I'm not a fairy......"
"We're willing to take a gamble!" After several men looked at each other, they said in unison.
Since this is the case, Yang Zixi has nothing to say, Wang Xiaoshi and Yang Huan brought surgical instruments. Yang Zixi first tested the woman's blood, hung up the blood supplemental blood bag, and then pushed an anesthetic injection to the cow, and soon the cow closed his eyes. The men in Baishi Village were startled, thinking that she had killed the cow, while Yang Yi and the others were busy explaining to them what anesthesia was.
Because the woman and the cow were connected together, it was not suitable to move again, and the operating room of the medical hall could not accommodate the volume of such a cow, so Yang Zixi could only operate on the spot. Yang and his family erected wooden stakes around the clearing and covered them with a cloth to cut off everyone's sight.
Yang Zixi carefully inspected the wound, the woman was injured in the waist and abdomen, and she could only cut the skirt to expose the waist and lower body, which was of course inconvenient for a man to be present, so Wang Xiaoshi and Yang Yi and others were also cleared. In addition to her, Yang Huan had to hand her a scalpel, surgical forceps, etc., and Sister-in-law Yu was responsible for helping her fix the wound to facilitate the operation. The rest of the sisters-in-law, Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law, Chen, and Huang, were to follow her instructions and pull out the horns of the cow at the right time from the woman's wound.
Huang Sister-in-law and the others are three people, if the left and right forces are uneven, it is easy to deviate when pulling the corners, which will expand the injury. But if only two people pull it, they can't drag the calf at all. Looks like we'll have to find someone else to help anyway.
"We need help, and we have to be a woman." She turned to Sister-in-law Huang and said, "Do you think there is a suitable candidate in the village?" ”
Sister-in-law Huang thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable person, so she poked her head out to scan the crowd of onlookers and asked, "Can anyone's daughter-in-law come in and help out?" ”
The crowd was silent, let alone helping, there were not many girls at the moment, and most of the women hid aside and vomited as soon as they saw the patients who spilled blood all the way, or fainted directly to the ground.
Just when Sister-in-law Huang saw that no one answered, and she was disappointed, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.
"I'm willing to help, can I?"
It was a tall and handsome girl who spoke, and seeing that her dress was very different from that of the people in Xiangfang Village, Sister-in-law Huang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Are you from the village?" ”
"Yes, but it's not anymore, so what's the matter?" The girl smiled indifferently.
When Sister-in-law Huang was hesitating whether she could trust it or not, Yang Zixi also poked her head out, she saw the woman, her eyes lit up, isn't this what she has just seen, the groom's official chasing after the 'queen'?
"That's you! Come on in! Yang Zixi smiled at her.
"Nope! Big girl! You can't go! Suddenly, a voice came out of the crowd, and I saw that it was the original protagonist of today, the groom, who spoke. As soon as he spoke, the eyes of the onlookers were focused on him.
The eldest girl sneered and turned her face and said, "Why can't I go?" ”
Sun Yaoyi was in a hurry, and he regretted it as soon as he said it, he looked left and right, and when he saw his father's disapproving expression, he could only change his words hesitantly: "No...... It's not me stopping you, it's ...... Be...... It's your sister who worries about you. ”
The bride on the side had a stiff face, but she also agreed: "Yes, sister, you can't help anything!" So where is a woman's house to touch? ”
The eldest girl and her mother suddenly came out of nowhere, and at the head of the youngest daughter's words, she stepped forward and pulled the eldest girl and said, "Isn't it! You're a maid in the palace, how can you touch these pickled things? ”
The eldest girl shook off her mother's hand with a little anger and said, "Yes, I am the maid of the palace, do you want to be a maid!" Pouring night incense, receiving phlegm boxes, what pickled things haven't you done? Mother, you sold me to be an inferior person at the beginning, why do you dislike me now and don't let me do inferior things? ”
Ignoring her mother, he walked quickly into the curtain.
Inside, the first thing she saw was the bloody hulaza woman on the cart. Yang Zixi kept an eye on her, only to see that her face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure, and even her eyes did not deliberately avoid the woman's wound.
This woman is so bold! The first time I see a trauma patient, I can react from this, but it is rare! Yang Zixi nodded a thumbs up in his heart with great satisfaction.
In contrast, Yang Huan, who acts as Yang Zixi's exclusive nurse, has not been able to look directly at the operating table so far!
"What do you call a girl?" Sister-in-law Huang asked with a smile.
"Chen Yuqing." The woman rolled up her sleeves and replied, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Isn't it a big girl? Is it a nickname? Yang Zixi was stunned, but didn't ask. "You stand on Sister-in-law Huang's side, hold the left horn with her, and pull it out again when you hear my command." She lowered her eyes and commanded.
Chen Yuqing stood beside Huang's sister-in-law as she said, so that the number of people next to the two horns waited.
Yang Zixi reached out and gently pressed the skin near the wound, and preliminarily deduced the damage in the abdominal cavity. Then she ordered the people to move the woman's body and the calf, and adjusted it to the most suitable angle.
"Ready, I say start, and the four of you will work together." She commanded.
Chen Yuqing nodded with the women, secretly biting her lower lip, her heart beating like a drum. She didn't expect that she would participate in this kind of thing at all, too many things had happened to her that day, which made her emotions a little out of control, and she hastily agreed, which was also impulsive, but now looking at the woman in a coma, she suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart: she was in control of the lives of others at this moment!
Yang Zixi prepared the hemostatic equipment, checked the patient's condition again, and then pressed the woman's body with Yang Huanyu's sister-in-law, and said to Huang and the others: "Let's start!" ”
Everyone worked together, and with a pop, the horns were pulled out of the woman's wound, and blood swept Chen Yuqing's head and face. (To be continued......)
