Chapter 29: Wound Infection

Under the flickering candlelight, a fair-skinned woman was lying quietly on the bed, her long black hair was scattered on the pillow, looking like the legendary sleeping beauty, but even in her sleep, this young woman still frowned slightly, her lips that should have been ruddy did not have the slightest blood, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, looking particularly cute.

When Li Xiu first came in, he really couldn't associate the sleeping beauty on the bed with the legendary Princess Pingyang, in his mind, since Princess Pingyang can command thousands of soldiers and horses, she should be a sturdy woman, no matter what her appearance is, at least her whole body should be full of a healthy and masculine beauty that is rare for women, but when he saw the other party, he found that the legendary Princess Pingyang was not only not a little strong, but also very slender and weak, plus a pitiful look when she was injured, It can be compared with the legendary Sister Lin.

"Boy, take care of your eyes!" Seeing that Li Xiu had been staring at Princess Pingyang on the bed since he came in, Ma Ye reminded in a low voice at the moment, after all, Li Xiu's performance was really too rude, and he didn't see Li Shimin's face change just now.

Li Xiu finally came to his senses at this time, and smiled at Ma Ye with some embarrassment, and then came to Princess Pingyang's bed, carefully examined her face, and found that although Princess Pingyang's skin was fair, there was no trace of blood in this white, and it looked very unhealthy.

"How did the princess get hurt, and what symptoms did she have after being injured?" Li Xiu is now riding a tiger, so he has to ask hard, but he really doesn't have the slightest confidence in himself.

"A few days ago, the third sister supervised the battle on the front line, when the Turkic forces were three times ours, that battle was very hard, the Turkic cavalry broke through our defense line several times, and once actually killed the third sister's side, although in the end was repelled by the third sister's command, but the third sister was shot by the Turks with an arrow, at that time, because of the fierce battle, the third sister did not have time to deal with the wound, still led the battle with injuries, until the evening let people pull out the arrow and hastily bandage it."

When Li Shimin said this, his face suddenly showed a little sad look and continued, "Originally, the third sister's arrow wound was not serious, and the wound was not very deep, but two days ago, for some reason, the wound suddenly rotted and swollen, and the whole person also had a high fever, and the third sister also became very irritable, and she couldn't wake up yesterday, and occasionally woke up during the period, and her spirit was also very chaotic, and sometimes she would talk some nonsense. ”

After listening to Li Shimin's introduction, Li Xiu's brows also wrinkled suddenly, the injured person had already appeared in a coma and whispering, which showed that her injury was very serious, and it may even have caused various other complications, this kind of injury is also very tricky in the big hospitals of the future, not to mention that he is a half-hanger, and he doesn't even have a bottle of hydrogen peroxide for disinfection at hand, how can he be treated?

"Where is the wound, I'm going to check it out for myself!" Li Xiu said again, with such a serious injury, he can only resign himself to fate, try all the treatment methods he can think of, if it can be cured, of course, it is the best, if it can't be cured, it is a big deal that he will be buried with Princess Pingyang!

"This ......" I saw Li Shimin hesitate for a moment, and finally spoke, "The wound is on the thigh, which was originally inconvenient for a strange man to see, but now that human life is at stake, I can only act in power!" ”

"The last general evasive!" Ma Ye took the initiative to speak at this time, and then turned to leave, leaving only Li Xiu and Li Shimin in the room, as well as a few maids who took care of the princess.

Then I saw Li Shimin gently lift the quilt, revealing the princess's legs, only to see the princess's left leg exposed, and the wound was at the lower thigh, but to Li Xiu's surprise, the wound had been stitched up, but the whole wound was not only swollen, but also a little black around the wound, if you smell it carefully, you can smell a faint smell, and even pus and blood oozing out of the wound.

Seeing such a serious wound, Li Xiu's heart also sank, and then asked with a serious face, "Who helped the princess stitch up the wound?" ”

"It's me, because the third sister's wound is getting worse, so the doctor wants to remove the carrion from the wound and re-bandage it, but because the injury is on the thigh, it is inconvenient for others to do it, it just so happens that I have learned from the doctor before that the wound is sutured, but I didn't expect the first time I used it on the third sister." Li Shimin replied again at this time.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he thought about it and ordered: "Help me prepare some sharp knives, gauze boiled in boiling water, and a pot of charcoal, I want to help the princess clean up the rotten flesh on the wound!" ”

Li Shimin immediately ordered people to prepare, and after a while, someone sent knives, gauze and charcoal, Li Xiu chose a suitable knife, and then disinfected it on the charcoal fire, and then dismantled the thread that sutured the wound, and the pus and blood in it also flowed out, Li Xiu hurriedly wiped it with gauze, and then began to clean up the carrion on the wound.

Cleaning the wound is a test of a person's courage, and it is also a test of a person's patience, fortunately, Li Xiu is not lacking in both, and even he seems to be too bold, as long as the carrion of the wound is diseased, all of them were cut off by him, and in the end, it was only a small arrow wound, but he cut off half of the flesh of his fist.

Li Shimin had been watching from the side, and he could bear it at first, but seeing that Li Xiu was so ruthless and the blood in the wound had been flowing, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Captain Li, is it really okay for you to do this?" ”

For Li Shimin's question, Li Xiu couldn't help sighing, it just so happened that he knew some ways to deal with this injury, but he still didn't have any certainty, because he lacked too many things, but he still opened his mouth to explain: "The princess's wound has been infected, and it has caused symptoms all over the body, for this kind of injury, the wound must not be closed, but the wound must be cleaned up, and the poisonous blood around the wound must be discharged." ”

When he said this, Li Xiu suddenly thought of something, and spoke again at the moment: "In addition, His Highness asked people to prepare some dandelions, there should be this kind of medicinal material in the barracks, if not, then send someone to find it in the dry grass in the field, although there are no fresh dandelions at this time, but the dried dandelions are barely usable!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Shimin realized that helping his sister to stitch up her wound was not only not beneficial to her injury, but might kill his third sister, which made him blush, and he had a little more confidence in Li Xiu at the moment, and hurriedly sent someone to find Dandelion.

Next, Li Xiu continued to clean Princess Pingyang's wound until all the diseased tissues were cleared, and the pus and blood in it were almost gone, at this time the dandelion had also been found, and was fried into juice, Li Xiu tried the temperature, and after feeling that it was not hot, he used the juice of the dandelion to clean the wound.

Originally, after cleaning the wound, it is best to clean the wound with a disinfectant such as hydrogen peroxide, but it is not okay to use alcohol, but it must be very painful to clean such a wound with alcohol, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear it, but unfortunately Li Xiu has none now, and in desperation, he can only think of a local solution, dandelion is known as a natural antibiotic, and its juice can be smeared to disinfect the wound, of course, if there is no fresh dandelion, it can also be dried, as long as it is fried into water.

In his previous life, he once went to the hospital to visit an injured client, and the other party was also infected with a wound, and the situation of the wound was similar to Princess Pingyang, at that time he remembered very well that the other party's wound was also dug up A large piece of meat, and the wound was so open, revealing the bright red tender meat inside, which gave Li Xiu a great visual impact.

"Is that all there is to it?" Li Shimin saw that Li Xiu did not treat the wound, and immediately asked again.

"Of course not, every half an hour, you need to wash the wound with dandelion decoction water to prevent the wound from becoming infected again!" Li Xiu replied again.

"Can the third sister's injuries be cured?" Li Shimin finally asked a question he was most concerned about at this time, and the relationship between their sister and brother was also very deep, in fact, Li Shimin and Princess Pingyang were not much different in age, and he was also closest to Princess Pingyang when he was a child, and since the princess was injured, he has hardly closed his eyes in the past few days.

Li Xiu was most afraid of this question, but he pondered for a moment at this time, and finally suddenly sighed and said: "The princess's injury has caused symptoms all over the body, and I don't have any confidence in the face of this injury......"

As soon as Li Xiu said this, Li Shimin next to him was furious, grabbed his collar and yelled, "What did you say? After being busy for so long, you said that you were not sure, did you come to take this king's pastime? ”

Li Xiu usually seems to be very easy-going, but he is actually a stubborn temper in his bones, in the face of the angry Li Shimin, he continued without changing his face: "I did everything I could just now, if I don't do it, the princess will definitely die, and I did, then the princess may still have a chance of life, now we can only look at the princess herself, if she can wake up, then let her drink more water, which is conducive to the discharge of toxins in the body, and I have to make one thing, which may be good for the princess's injury!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the furious Li Shimin suddenly let go of his hand in frustration, sat on the chair next to him and was silent for a long time, and finally waved his hand weakly and said: "I understand, do what you want to do, as long as you can give the third sister a chance to survive, you must not give up!" ”
