Chapter 11 Enter Lizhai

Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao slowly walked towards the gate with a backpack on their backs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xu Lang reached into his clothes, and the palm of his hand holding the May Fourth pistol was sweating again. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the location of the big tree not far away, Zhang Hai and Liu Jun had already found a suitable position to set up their rifles, which made him feel a little relieved.

Suddenly, there was a banging sound behind the gate. The two of them stopped in unison.

"Brother Xu, I'm a little unable to stand."

"Don't talk, wait." Xu Lang pretended to be calm, but in fact, his legs were also trembling slightly.

The gate of the village opened, and more than a dozen people rushed out of it, led by a tall figure, of course, this tall man is compared with the current Ming Dynasty people. But the distance was too far to see the faces of the people who came.

Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao put their backpacks on the ground, then took a few steps back, and stood quietly in place waiting.

More than a dozen Li people got closer and closer, stopping at a distance of 2 people 4,5 meters. The man at the head was wearing a tube skirt, a large earring on his ear, and a knife in his hand. It is said to be a knife, but it is actually a rusty piece of iron. He looked Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao up and down very strangely, and then said a few words.

Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao looked at each other, and both asked each other: "What did he say?" ”

Sun Tianhao took 2 steps forward, opened his hands and began to gesture: "We, exchange, food, food, food." You understand? ”

Seeing that these Li people did not react, Sun Tianhao took out a bag of salt from his backpack and tore it open, dipped it with his finger again, and wiped it on his mouth, "This, this, salt, very good, verygood, exchange, exchange work, understand?" ”

Even though he was so nervous, Xu Lang almost stopped laughing: "You are in Japanese and English." ”

The leader of the Li people took the salt bag handed over by Sun Tianhao with a puzzled face, and also dipped his finger in Sun Tianhao's example and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the leader's eyes lit up, and he turned to the others and said something, and the other Li people also gathered around, each dipped a finger of salt in his mouth, and sucked it. More than a dozen men smacked their fingers together, and this scene was quite funny.

Sun Tianhao turned his head and said to Xu Lang ostentatiously, "How is it?" ”

"Yes, keep fooling." Xu Lang smiled, "You have a lot of work." ”

Sun Tianhao's confidence has increased greatly. He walked over again and patted the leader of the Li people who was smacking his fingers, and pointed to the knife in his hand, "You, this, no, no, no, no, no." ”

After speaking, Sun Tianhao pulled out his 95 bayonet, turned the head of the knife, and handed the knife handle over: "This, good, very good." ”

The leader took the bayonet and tried its edge with his thumb, his eyes shining again. Sun Tianhao struck while the iron was hot, took a crossbow from the hand of a Li man next to him, and gestured and said: "This, for you, this, for us, exchange." Understood? ”

The leader of the Li people seemed to understand what Sun Tianhao meant, and turned around and said a few words to a person, who ran quickly towards the stockade.

Sun Tianhao pulled things out of his backpack one by one as if by magic, and basically every one of them would make these Li people curious for a long time. The weapons in the hands of these Li people have long been placed on the ground, and each of them is studying and pondering with various different things, and some of them still have 2 or 3 weapons in their hands.

Xu Lang finally withdrew his hand from his clothes, there should be no problem for the time being. At this time, there was another noise at the gate of the village, and a group of men and women came over with an old man in their arms.

"It should be the lord who is here." Xu Lang said to himself.

According to Lu Tianxiang, in the Song Dynasty, the social organization of the Li nationality in Hainan was called "Dong", and each family name was a mountain, and the whole island was lined with Li Dong but the scale was small. The mountains and the mountains are independent of each other and do not belong to each other. In the Ming Dynasty, the social organization of the Li nationality area was still the village, and the number of villages was relatively large. According to Gu Yanwu's "Tianxia County Guoli Disease Book, Guangdong Xia" in the early Qing Dynasty, the number of Li Tong in Yazhou was 92.

The old man walked up to Xu Lang and the two people, waved his hand, and someone next to him held the tobacco leaves, cigarette barrels and fire sickles in front of the two people.

"What do you mean?" Sun Tianhao asked Xu Lang.

"Aren't you out of smoke, please smoke." Xu Lang took the tobacco leaves and the cigarette tube, but pushed the fire sickle aside, took out a disposable lighter from his pocket, lit the flame, and smoked 2 puffs.

"Cough, cough, cough." Xu Lang snorted and burst into tears, "Good guy, how strong is this." ”

Xu Lang understood that according to the custom of the Li people, guests were invited to smoke outside the house first, and then went inside to drink. But who knows the smoke of the Ming Dynasty, is this still called smoke?

Seeing that the old man was staring at the lighter in his hand in confusion, Xu Lang smiled slightly, then took out a cigarette and handed it over along with the lighter.

With the help of Xu Lang, the old master lit a cigarette and smoked 2 puffs, his face showing a happy color. Then he gestured to let Xu Lang and the two people into the village.

"Please wait a minute." Xu Lang waved his hand again and again. It shouldn't be dangerous now. Regardless of whether the old lord could understand what he meant, Xu Lang turned around, took out a small red flag from his clothes and waved it a few times in the distance.

After a while, Zhang Hai and Liang Chengdong arrived one after another. Seeing that there was a woman among the people who came, and she was dressed strangely, these Li people were very surprised, and some Li women even touched Cheng Yiyi around, and Cheng Yiyi was not hiding, and she was very embarrassed.

At this moment, a Li man suddenly ran from behind, and shouted something at the old lord with a nervous expression. The old lord's face changed suddenly, he didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Xu Lang's hand reached into his clothes again and grabbed the pistol tightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Commissioner Xu." Liu Jun, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke, "I seem to understand what they are saying." ”

"What?"

"Really?" The traversers around them were surprised.

"I see." Liu Jun suddenly clapped his hands, "Those two Ming Dynasty shows are from Haikou, not Sanya, no wonder I can't understand them." Now these people are Sanya people. Haikou dialect is not the same as Sanya dialect. The Haikou dialect is Hainanese, and the Sanya dialect is partly derived from the Li dialect. ”

"Whatever you say, just understand it." Xu Lang rubbed his hands excitedly, "You also have a piece of work." ”

"What did they just say, how did the old man go, is there any danger?" Zhang Hai asked on the side.

"It's none of our business." Liu Jun finally saw his own value, and was a little excited, "It seems that some of the children of this lord are sick, and the situation is quite serious, so I have heard about it." ”

"It's a pity that Dr. Ouyang didn't come, otherwise, sending medicine to the hospital is a good way to get closer to ethnic minorities." Gu Yunkun said regretfully, Doctor Ouyang is the ship's doctor on the Pearl.

"Not necessarily, maybe I can try." Zhang Hai said.

"You? Do you know how to heal? "It was strange for the crowd to say such a thing to a Marine.

"My grandfather is a Chinese medicine practitioner, although I have not studied medicine, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I still know something, I have never eaten pork, but at least I have seen pigs run. Besides, the Marine Corps has also been trained in first aid. Let's go check it out first. ”

Hearing that these people outside the village could cure diseases, the old lord was overjoyed and hurriedly invited these traversers into the village.

Xu Lang, Liu Jun and Zhang Hai followed the old lord into a damp and gloomy boat-shaped house. Inside the room were two women kneeling and caring for a child lying on the ground. Seeing the old lord come in, the two women hurriedly stepped aside. Zhang Hai leaned over to look at the child lying on the ground, and then reached out and tried the child's forehead, which was hot. The child was about 11,2 years old, flushed and had a fever.

The old lord said a few words on the side, and Liu Jun translated: "The old lord said that the child's injury is on the leg. ”

Zhang Hai casually lifted the rag covering the child's thigh, and a foul smell came to his face. The wound on the child's leg had been infected and suppurated, the wound was constantly bleeding pus and blood, and there were maggots crawling up and down on the leg, Zhang Hai felt nauseous for a while.

"How?" Xu Lang asked when he saw Zhang Hai after reading the wound.

"Come out and say." Zhang Hai called Xu Lang outside, "The trauma is infected, it's very bad." ”

"Can it be cured?"

"Cure is curable, this thing is simple, it is to remove rotten meat, reduce inflammation and reduce fever. The first aid kit we brought with us was sufficient. Zhang Hai said, "But now there are two problems. First, we only have 20 first aid kits in total, which are impossible to replenish on this plane. Even if we are on our own, we can't use it until we have to. I don't have that decision. Second, we don't have anesthetics and antibiotics now, and even after the operation, no one knows if the child will survive. ”

"That's right." Xu Lang was silent for a while, "I am the commander of the northbound group. My personal opinion is to save this child, not to mention what benefits we can exchange, at least saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this sentence is true both in the original and now. Still, let's vote on seven people. ”

"You." Zhang Hai shook his head helplessly, "Vote determinism plus universal values." ”

"Do you have a better way?" Xu Lang asked rhetorically.

As a result of the vote, 5 to 2 agreed to use the first aid kit. Cheng Yiyi's female sympathy was overflowing, and she gritted her teeth and said to Sun Tianhao and Liu Jun, who voted against it: "I curse you to be a bachelor for a lifetime, and no woman likes it when you are old." ”

The surgery was performed by Zhang Hai and Cheng Yiyi. The child was lifted onto a makeshift plank. Kun and a few Li people were tying the children's hands and feet to the wooden plank according to Zhang Hai's request. Kun He was the first Li leader to come into contact with Xu Lang and them. When a man grows up to a certain age, after he gets married and starts a family, the elders of the clan pronounce the names of the ancestors in turn in the ancestor worship ceremony, and then choose a syllable with the same initials as the names of the ancestors as his name, which is the same as the initials of the ancestors' names. And the name is pronounced in Li, so when Kun said his name, Liu Jun couldn't translate it, so everyone had to call him Kun He according to the similar pronunciation.

It took a long time to explain the treatment method to the old master, and Liu Jun made a long-term comparison with his teeth and claws to make the old lord understand that these people who were going to pull a knife on his grandson were saving his grandson's life, not his grandson's life.

Cheng Yiyi brought over a basin of normal saline prepared by himself, there is no distilled water, only boiling water and table salt can be used, and it is configured according to the estimated proportion. Zhang Hai contributed it with Gu Yunkun, and the pure cotton T-shirt boiled in boiling water was dipped in normal saline and slowly wiped the wound. I don't know how many years this child hasn't taken a bath, and it took three basins of salt water to see the original skin color. Zhang Hai roasted the 95 bayonet on the fire next to him, and then gently pulled the child's wound open with the tip of the knife. There were no scalpel blades in the first aid kit, so they had to be replaced with bayonets. The tip of the knife plunged into the flesh, and the child twitched in pain.

"Hold on, don't let him move." Liu Jun commanded Kun and his men.

The operation lasted for half an hour, and all the rotting and necrotic muscle tissue was cleaned up. Zhang Hai used the first-aid tweezers in the first-aid kit to gently wipe the wound and disinfect it with an alcohol swab. Then cover with a hemostatic pad and sterile gauze, and tie it firmly with a bandage. Finally, the child was fed a piece of anti-inflammatory medicine that he carried with him.

"It's over, and the rest is up to his creation." Zhang Hai raised his body tiredly.
