Chapter 144: September, a month of many disasters
September was a month of many disasters and difficulties for most of the villagers in Tashan Village.
The continuous exposure to the sun made the villagers afraid to walk outside at will during the day, for fear of being sunburned by the scorching sun. In the evening, when the sun finally went down, giving the earth a little respite, the mosquitoes began to run rampant again.
They can be said to be pervasive. If a mosquito is found at home, the whole family is like a frightened bird, first digging three feet into the ground to eliminate the mosquitoes that threaten people's lives, and then begin to check their own family members to determine whether they have been bitten by mosquitoes, until they have checked their bodies many times to make sure that they have not been bitten, they will feel at ease. If you find something similar to a mosquito pack on your body, then the person's psychology will go through the test from life to death, or from death to life.
Heart-rending cries can be heard almost every day during the month.
Many families have experienced the matter of watching the mosquito bag waiting for God's judgment, and if there is no change in the mosquito bag after one night, there will also be a cry, and this cry is the bitter cry for the rest of the life. If the mosquito pack changes, and it becomes red and swollen, the cry that comes out is the kind of mournful cry that people are about to die.
The crying every night for a month, my heart is also irritable, I know that my heart is not as hard as I imagined, watching the person I know is about to die, I still can't be indifferent. But I also know that I can't do anything, and it's a coincidence to save Chen Ming, and there is another person. It may not be so easy to save life, otherwise it is impossible for other medical experts to be unable to study a way to treat it for more than a month.
I just buried myself in my work every day, so I didn't have time to think about the problems I couldn't solve.
One morning. As soon as we came back from the field, Qin Hanbin ran to my house with red eyes, and when he saw Jiang Zhi and me, he held our hands and cried silently, without saying anything, I watched a one-meter-eight man crying so silently in front of me, I followed his tears and worried my heart, I couldn't stand it and pulled Jiang Zhi. Jiang Zhi sighed and said, "Who is infected, I'll say it first." I can try, but I'm not guaranteed to save it. ”
After Qin Hanbin heard Jiang Zhi's words, he wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said with a choked voice: "Brother Jiang." I know. I just couldn't watch my friend die in front of me and I didn't do anything, that's why I came, I know I'm sorry for you, but I just want to give him a chance to live. ”
After that, we took the medicine kit and went with him to a villager's house, and saw the young man lying on the bed, we knew him. I remember his name was Zhang Han, and he once helped our family plant seedlings. Also had a meal at our house.
At this time, he was lying on the bed with a dim face, without a trace of life on his face, just waiting for death.
After Qin Hanbin led Jiang Zhi in, he said a few words to Zhang Han's father, I listened carefully, and the general meaning was that Jiang Zhi used to be a surgeon, and he wanted Jiang Zhi to use a scalpel to cut off the red and swollen part of Zhang Han infected by the A virus, and wanted to see if there was any hope for life.
Zhang Han's father didn't speak, and Zhang Han on the bed said loudly: "Dad, I want to try, I don't want to die." ”
Zhang Han's father saw his son say this, and couldn't bear not to agree to his son's last request, so he said to Jiang Zhi: "Jiang Zhi, I'm sorry for you." After saying that, he secretly touched his tears, turned around and went out.
Jiang Zhi came to the bed and asked, "Where are the mosquito bites?" ”
Zhang Han turned over and exposed his back, there was a large red and swollen area of his back against his shoulder, blood red and bloody, and a sharp tip emerged in the middle of the red and swollen, and in a few hours, it would start to suppurate outward from this sharp point, and then begin to fester.
After Jiang Zhi checked it, he frowned and said, "This infection has been a bit long. It's already about to start suppurating, and it may not be useful to cut off these infected places now, and I don't have anesthetics, and you're standing up during the operation, and you've figured out whether to suffer this crime or not. Jiang Zhi was not sure that he would be cured, so let him decide for himself.
Zhang Han didn't even think about it and said: "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry for you, you can do it, I don't want to die, I still have elderly parents to take care of, if I die, what will they do?" After saying that, he cried out uncontrollably.
Outside the door, I also remembered the cries of the two elders, especially Zhang Han's mother, who cried and shouted, "Son, if you go, Mom won't be alive, Mom will go down to accompany you." ”
I couldn't stand it anymore, this kind of life and death parting was not suitable for me, I tilted my head, afraid that the tears in my eyes would flow down.
"Okay, then let's start, I can only say that life and death are in the sky, and I will do my best." Jiang Zhi is not a hard-hearted person either.
Then, Jiang Zhi began to disinfect, and Qin Hanbin found a towel for Zhang Han to bite it in.
After Jiang Zhi cut open the red and swollen flesh skin, he saw that there was only pus under the small tip of his flesh skin, and there was still meat in other places, Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and I took a hemostatic charm for Zhang Han in time.
Jiang Zhi began to dig for meat therapy, this time he dug deeper than Chen Ming's time, and he could already see the bones on Zhang Han's back.
Jiang Zhi carefully cut off all the infected flesh for him, and in the end it was the same therapy, using a bottle of space water to rinse his wound, then applying anti-inflammatory drugs and bandaging, and when he was done with all this, Zhang Han was already unconscious in pain on the bed.
After Jiang Zhi washed his hands, he said to the two old men recently: "I can only do so much, and I don't know what will happen to Zhang Han, after he wakes up, you can help him change his dressing, and I will come to see it again at night." ”
His parents pulled me and Jiang Zhi hard to say thank you, saying that they would thank us no matter what the result was.
After that, Zhang Han's condition really deteriorated at night, Jiang Zhi operated on him again, and the infected flesh was removed again, and the wound on his back became the size of a bowl, Jiang Zhi removed some of the muscles on his left shoulder, and if it deteriorated, he couldn't cut the flesh. OK. Zhang Han's condition stabilized after that, and the infection in his back did not spread, but the wound was too big. He started to have a fever, we gave him medicine, and we fed him some creek water, and nothing else could help him.
On the third day, Zhang Han's survival ** defeated death, and he finally survived, and the cries of the two elders came from their house that night. They completely vented their fears.
It was the first time I heard such a cry, and I fell asleep in a comfortable mood.
Afterwards. This kind of flesh cutting therapy has spread, and I have heard that there are also some incidents of such treatment outside, some cured and some not. Most of the cured ones are those with relatively strong physical skills. It has strong resistance and can withstand the pain of surgery, and survives the infection period after surgery. Those are not cured, many of them are infected for a long time, and their physical skills are not good, etc.
Anyway, I am very glad that this incident did not affect our family, and so far no one knows that Jiang Zhi treated Zhang Han. It also saves us a lot of trouble.
In September, in addition to the virus threatening the health of the villagers, there was also a shortage of water that plagued the entire village.
Rice cannot live without water. This is something that all farmers know, since the sun began to rage in July, the rice in the paddy field has been tested by nature, although later the villagers have learned from our family to give rice shade and drip, but it has not completely preserved the rice in the field, basically only 50% of the rice in the field is left.
And the remaining half, in September, the month when the drought continues, the water demand is also very large, at the beginning, the villagers have wells at home, everyone in order to harvest, not afraid of hard work, every morning and evening from the home to draw water, with a flat pole or a tricycle from home to water the rice, but as the drought continues, the water level of the villagers' wells has also dropped a lot, and it does not rise overnight, so the villagers began to be anxious again, this time it is not only the problem of lack of water in the field, if it is still like this, Water at home is a problem.
At this time, our family took out the ice cubes stored in the ice cellar, of course, we did not forget the family of Aunt Guo and Aunt Qin, who had made efforts, and basically let people send over several large pieces of ice every day.
Aunt Qin and Aunt Guo came to the house to thank us, and Mother Jiang said.
"Thank you for what. These are all we help you save, in the winter, you didn't freeze the ice, now you use these are the ones, and this winter, you can freeze yourself, and we don't need us to save it for you. "This is what our family has said a long time ago, at the beginning, the two of them helped us make a lot of ice cubes for free, and we didn't want those, so we thought it was saved for them, and when they needed it, we would take it out for them to use, and now it's it.
"Sister Jiang, we know what's going on, we say it's for us to save, I know, this is your family's intention to help us, we are really grateful, I know it."
When it first froze, I didn't expect that these ice cubes would be able to solve our urgent needs. You said that now there is water in the well at home every day, if people use it, it will not be enough to water the rice every day, and the rice will be harvested in half a month, and it is really reluctant to give up now, that is our family's chewing next year, if you give up, you will have to go hungry in winter. But if this could come with rice, that person would be thirsty now, and on this hot day, if there is no water to drink, wouldn't that kill people! Hey, it's so hard, it's so hard to choose.
Now, with these ice cubes, it is no problem to hold on until the rice is harvested, and by that time, the rice will no longer use water, and the water in the well will be enough. "It can be seen that Aunt Guo is really grateful to Jiang's mother, these ice cubes are really a charcoal in the snow for their family.
When the people in the village saw that our family took out ice cubes, it could quench the heat and thirst, and the extra water could be watered on the ground, so they began to envy and hate, but they were envious and had no choice, until they knew the use of the ice cellar through this time.
I also told Lu Fang to ask her to give our family endorsement money.
It can be said that our family has been a family that has attracted much attention in Tashan Village, and now everyone is watching what we do, they will analyze it, see the purpose of our doing, and generally they will follow suit after we finish it.
This time, seeing that our ice cellar is so practical, someone will find Lu Fang to dig the ice cellar after the autumn harvest. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
