Chapter XVIII
Saving people is like fighting a fire, and the three of them did not delay for a moment, and after cleaning up a little, they didn't care about having breakfast, so they hurried on the road.
Amu's grandmother lived in the Qinglong tribe, which was about forty miles away from the Shenlong tribe, and several people got on their horses and hurried, and after crossing a few mountains and wading through a few rivers, the three of them arrived quickly. Originally, Xiao Jian was still a little worried about whether his bumpy ride on horseback would affect the wounds on his body. I didn't expect it to be so good than the war horse I used to train in the army, not only running fast, but also extremely stable, galloping all the way, I couldn't even notice the slightest bump.
The three of them pushed the door in, only to see that the house was already full of people on the inside and outside of the house, and they should all be neighbors on the left and right. I saw that they were all worried, and a few women were hiding their faces and weeping.
When Xiao Jian saw the expressions on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart-Could it be that the patient is no longer dead? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hands and wanted to separate everyone and go in to check, but he didn't expect that the people in the room would suddenly become vigilant when they saw this visitor who suddenly appeared with a very unusual dress and appearance. One of the sturdy middle-aged men even stretched out his hand to stop in front of Xiao Jian, and shouted with an unkind face: "Who are you? What are you doing here? I don't know that there are patients inside, why don't you get out quickly!"
Just as Xiao Jian wanted to explain, Amu behind him hurriedly squeezed to the front, gently brushed away the strong man's big hand that stopped Xiao Jian, and pointed to Xiao Jian next to him, explaining: "Uncle Mutu, this is the new guest of my family, Xiao Jian, Brother Xiao." I specially invited him to come over and see my grandmother this time. Please get out of the way and let us in. ”
"Where did your guests come from, and how are they different from the people we have here?" Although Mu Tu still had a lot of questions in his heart, when he saw Amu stepping forward to explain, he didn't stop him anymore, and turned sideways to open a way for Xiao Jian, letting Xiao Jian walk in.
Xiao Jian walked to the hospital bed and took a look, only to see an old woman with a haggard face and gray hair lying on the bed. She was now breathing with her eyes closed and mouth open, struggling to breathe. The lungs heaved sharply with breathing, like a worn-out bellows, gurgling. Xiao Jian reached out to probe the old man's forehead, and obviously felt a hot feeling coming from his fingertips. Obviously, the patient's condition is serious at the moment, to the point where there is no time to delay.
"Asika, you and everyone go outside the room and wait, there are too many people who will disturb my diagnosis, Amu, you stay, give me a hand." Xiao Jian knew very well in his heart that the inflammation of the patient's lungs at this time was already very serious, and if it could not be controlled immediately, he was afraid that his life would be in danger at any time. Now I happen to have a few vials of penicillin by my side, which should have a good anti-inflammatory effect for this person who has never used antibiotics before. "I hope she won't be allergic to penicillin," Xiao Jian said in his heart, "If the old man has an allergic reaction to penicillin, then there is nothing I can do." ”
After everyone walked outside the door under Asika's persuasion, Xiao Jian motioned to Amu to close the door, and then took out the needle and penicillin from the first-aid kit, preparing to give the old man a skin test first, this penicillin is different from other medicines, if the patient is allergic to it, it must not be used.
"Brother Xiao, what is the thing you are holding in your hand? What is in that bottle? Is it the medicine for my grandmother's treatment? Just a little white powder, can it be effective?" When Xiao Jian was dispensing the medicine, Amu asked curiously while looking at the small needle in Xiao Jian's hand. For Amu, the needle in Xiao Jian's hand is something he has never seen before, and he has no idea what this small transparent tube has to do with the treatment of his grandmother's illness.
"This is a shooter, for injections to patients. This small bottle contains penicillin, which is used for anti-inflammatory. Okay, let's not talk about it for now, you take out your grandmother's hand, and I'll give her a skin test first to see if she can use this medicine. Xiao Jian knew that the treatment method he was using now could not be explained clearly in a few words to Amu, who was not in the same world as himself at all, not to mention that he didn't have so much time to explain it now. The reason why he sent Asika and the others away just now was only one aspect of the noisy crowd affecting him, and the main reason was that he didn't want others to make a fuss about his treatment. You must know that the clash of two completely different cultures cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and the most rational thing to do now is to find a way to cure the patients in front of you first, and if there is an appropriate opportunity in the future, it is not too late to slowly spread your advanced ideas and advanced technology to them.
After Amu took the old man's hand out of the quilt, Xiao Jian used the needle vial to extract a little liquid, and then used the tip of the needle to pick up a small piece of skin on the patient's wrist to inject the potion into it, and then pulled out the needle. "Okay, let's take your grandmother's temperature first. Xiao Jian took out the thermometer and handed it to Amu, "You put this head under your grandmother's armpit and hold it, and take it out later." ”
"Is this okay?" asked Amu Yiyan after putting the thermometer away, looking at Xiao Jian, who was already sitting on the side with nothing to do, with puzzled eyes.
"Not yet. Now I'm taking your grandmother's temperature, and I'll have to look at the results of the skin to know if I can give your grandmother medicine. If your grandmother is allergic to this medicine, there is nothing I can do about it. ”
"Oh, can you still be allergic, can't use medicine? What can I do? God, you will be merciful, bless my poor grandmother, and let her old man not be allergic, not allergic, not allergic! Please, God, as long as I can bless my grandmother from allergies, I will kill pigs and cattle to honor you in the future......" It seems that Amu still respects his grandmother very much, and when he heard Xiao Jian say that he might not be able to give his grandmother medicine because of drug allergies, he immediately became anxious, quickly put his hands together, and began to chatter and pray.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was constantly muttering prayers, Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel angry and funny. Is this what is it? Is it allergic to penicillin, can it be solved with a few words of prayer? If prayer really works, then what should I do with myself coming here to heal the disease, no matter how bad it is, call a few more people to kneel on the ground and pray together, and all the problems will be solved? But Xiao Jian has no intention of stopping Amu's behavior. No matter what, Amu's filial piety to his grandmother is still commendable.
More than ten minutes passed, Xiao Jian motioned to Amu to take out the thermometer, and as expected, the old man's body temperature at this time was as high as 39.5 degrees, and he had a high fever to a very dangerous level. Looking at the place where the skin test was done just now, there was no redness, swelling and other abnormalities.
"Your grandmother has a terrible fever right now, and you have to find a way to lower her temperature. You go find a towel first, wet it with cold water, and put it on his forehead, and I'll prepare to give her medicine and injections. Xiao Jian saw that the old man was not allergic to penicillin, and he was immediately relieved.
I don't know if it's because I'm worried about my grandmother's condition or something else. Amu turned out to have absolute trust in Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian originally thought that when he proposed to inject the patient with buttocks, he would be opposed by Amu, but he didn't expect that after a little hesitation, Amu still did it.
"It's time to let them in. After giving the old man the injection and putting away all the things, Xiao Jian let out a long sigh and said to Amu, who was still standing beside him and looking at him with an incredible expression on his face.
"That's all right, but my grandmother hasn't woken up yet?"
"Do you think I used an elixir for your grandmother? How can it be so fast? You can rest assured, it won't be long before your grandmother wakes up." By the way, you can open the door now, or the people outside will be in a hurry again. Seeing that Amu was still a little uneasy, Xiao Jian said with a relaxed face and a determined expression.
As soon as the door to the room opened, Asika and other neighbors, who had been waiting impatiently outside, rushed in.
"How's it going, doesn't it matter to my grandmother?" asked Asika, who took three steps and two steps, walked to the hospital bed at once, looked at her grandmother who was lying on the bed and had not woken up.
"It should be fine, you stay here, and when the old man wakes up, you can call me again." Everyone should be careful to keep quiet and do not disturb the patient's rest. Xiao Jian explained a few more words to Asika, then stood up, patted Amu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "We haven't had breakfast yet, let's go get something to eat first, I'm hungry now." ”
"Good, good. Brother Xiao, I've worked hard for you. Come with me, I'll go get breakfast." ”
"Brother Xiao, the way you treated my grandmother just now is amazing, I've never seen it before. Do you all use this method to treat patients over there?" Amu was very nimble in his hands and feet, and it didn't take long to make breakfast. As soon as the two of them came to the table and sat down, Amu couldn't wait to ask the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
"yes, I used the easiest way to heal people in our place. Fortunately, your grandmother didn't have a particularly incurable disease, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help her. Actually, I'm not a doctor, I just read a few elements and understand some simple treatments. On our side, if you encounter a complex condition, you have to use a lot of instruments, which is quite troublesome. "What Xiao Jian said is indeed the truth, what he just did was to take people's temperature and give people injections, these are the simplest rescue techniques learned in the army. If you really encounter a complicated condition, you, who are not even a half-baked doctor, have no way at all.
"Your world is really amazing, by the way, who is the 'doctor' you just mentioned? Isn't it amazing?" Xiao Jian's every move today is too amazing for Amu, not only has he never seen the strange things that Xiao Jian treats patients, but also the new terms that Xiao Jian said, such as "skin test", "penicillin", "allergies", etc., etc., are even more unheard of. Now his mind was full of questions, but he didn't know where to start.
"'Doctor', it's almost the same as your pill master here. However, there are many kinds of doctors there, with different classifications and different abilities......" Xiao Jian not only did not have a trace of disgust with the young man who had a lot of questions about Amu, but was willing to use what he knew to answer questions for this diligent and inquisitive child.
