Chapter 122: No Accompaniment
All men are created equal, and that may just be a slogan. It is indeed Xu Ao's greatest wish since he came to this world.
What made the Qin army pay the price and avenge the old widower. When a million people died in front of him, they were slaughtered, grabbed, and devoured by a wild god. He did not feel pleasure at all, but a deep pain and self-blame.
The death of the old widower had already made him feel a pain. I deeply understand what it feels like to lose a loved one. Today, more than 900,000 soldiers have died in battle. How much family pain will there be behind it?
The old mother who guards under the old tree at the entrance of the village, and the wife who sews and threads at home. The movie picture of a needle flashed in front of Xu Ao's eyes repeatedly.
If you let the Qin and Yan armies in the city who managed to survive suffer infections and die of torture from their wounds. Xu Ao may not really forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Out of General Qin's courtyard, Xu Ao ran straight to the wine shop at the corner of the avenue outside the city guard's mansion.
"Eh, little boy, what's so urgent. Come on, take a sip of hot tea to moisten your throat. Yaoyao, the shopkeeper of the wine store, saw Xu Ao coming straight to his shop, hurriedly poured a bowl of water, and handed it over.
Xu Ao waved his hand and eased slightly: "Boss, how much wine do you still have at home?" I also need tools for steaming sake. ”
"Childe, you want so much wine, is it for a banquet in the castle guard's mansion? Wine is easy to do, but I can't give you the tools for steaming wine, it's all made of civil engineering, and I can't move it." The owner of the liquor store was secretly a little annoyed in his heart, he had just returned from a big defeat, why did he have to use so much wine?
"No, no, no, it's not for drinking, I'm using it to clean the wounds of the wounded. Boss, you distill as many times as you can for me. The purity of the wine, the better. Xu Ao even said with a gesture, and the boss finally understood what he meant.
The boss smiled: "Childe, I don't know what is the use of washing the wound with wine, my two-year-old doll once accidentally poured wine on the bird, if it wasn't for his mother to find out in time, she almost cut it with a knife." It can be seen that it is still extremely painful. ”
"Boss, don't worry if it hurts. See how long it takes to help me distill those wines. Xu Ao is going crazy, how to explain the role and principle of alcohol disinfection to people who have no medical foundation? Even if he does, how long will it take. You know, there is no better time than this moment to explain what it means to be a life.
Seeing that Xu Ao didn't seem to be joking, the boss also became serious: "How much wine does Childe need?" I can mobilize the neighborhood to take out the wine at home." Steaming sake together can also save a lot of time. ”
"Three hundred catties, and cotton, this year's new cotton, the clean kind!" Xu Ao said as he looked around for paper, trying to write down the things he needed. I never thought that who could know his stick words.
"Three hundred catties shouldn't be much, but the steaming time may be a bit long, and it may not reach the concentration required by the childe. The owner of the liquor store didn't know what the concentration Xu Ao was talking about. In the past, what was distilled twice was already considered a spirit, and it had to be distilled again. What exactly does it have to be distilled to be considered a childe's needs?
"Boss, in this way, you add quicklime to the wine and then distill it. After distillation, mix eight parts liquor and two parts boiling water. Forget why you do this, just do what I say. I'll bring you the money. As soon as Xu Ao's words fell, the person had already appeared in front of the door of the medicinal herb shop diagonally opposite, knocking the door and window.
Somehow, the owner of the liquor store felt a warm heart. Having such a general is always a good thing for those wounded sergeants. Tightening his clothes slightly, he pulled up his collar and knocked on the door next door.
One wine shop after another, Xu Ao knocked it all over. One pharmacy after another, Xu Ao almost searched the bottom of the house. The cotton seller was stopped by Xu Ao and collected all the cotton. Even the bedding that had been made was dismantled by Xu Ao and only took cotton.
Hearing that the son of this small family gate lord was running around so much, just to save the lives of a few more ordinary soldiers of the Yan and Qin armies. Each family also took the initiative to empty the inventory, and only charged a cost.
For a time, the city was full of smoke, and the smell of wine was everywhere.
In the evening, he finally scraped together enough three hundred catties of wine that Xu Ao needed. Two donkey carts carrying wine stalls, cotton, and several big girls and daughters-in-law followed Xu Ao to the school field where the wounded soldiers were concentrated.
"Young Master Xu, what are you doing?" The sergeant on patrol had a good impression of this young general of the Qin army who was still charging in front of the wild gods, and saw that he actually brought the wine and women that were banned in the barracks into the barracks, so he had to come up and persuade a few words: "Gongzi Xu, these are strictly forbidden to enter the barracks, the wine is better to say, we really can't put women in, you have to take care of it." ”
"I'm here to save people! Don't worry about it for now, General Le Niu and General Qin are there, I will naturally explain. Let us in, hurry. Xu Ao jumped out of the car first and pushed open the gate of the school yard.
After all, Xu Ao was a junior general of the Qin army, and how could the Yan army, who was on duty guarding the camp, dare to stop it, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform General Leniu and General Qin, and sent someone to accompany Xu Gongzi to escort things into the barracks.
By the time General Qin and the angry General Le Niu arrived, more than a dozen wounded soldiers had been carried out of the tent. From time to time, there was a muffled snort or a scream from the tent where the curtain was closed.
Seeing that the commanders of the two armies had arrived at the same time, the guards hurriedly lifted the curtains.
I saw that in the tent, Xu Aozheng used the limited medical knowledge in his previous life to teach several lightly injured sergeants how to wash their wounds with cotton dipped in alcohol. One by one, the wounded soldiers were lifted on wooden planks and lay on the ground. The sergeants were carefully cleaning the wounds of the seriously wounded with cotton. Blood-stained cotton was already piled up in a corner of the tent. After the wounds were cleaned, the wounded soldiers were carried aside, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law baked embroidery needles with lamps and sewed their wounds together like shoe quilts.
Then there was an alcohol wash, and finally a few sergeants carefully wrapped the wound of the seriously wounded with cotton cloth and tied it with a slipknot. It was then carried by two sergeants to a few tents that had just been carved out.
General Qin approached Xu Ao and observed Xu Ao's movements for a while before asking in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
As soon as Xu Ao looked up, he saw that the generals of Qin Yan's two armies were almost crowded in the room, and then he reacted, it turned out that General Qin and General Le had arrived. Xu Ao took General Qin's arm and walked out.
Everyone also hurriedly followed.
Xu Ao pointed to the inside of the tent and said, "I collected a few hundred catties of wine with silver, and made a total of three hundred catties of alcohol. Alcohol to wash the wound is painful, but it can avoid suppurative infection. Do you know about purulent infection, right?" Xu Ao hurriedly made a comparison, but fortunately, the people present were all generals who had led the army to fight all year round, and they were very clear about the consequences of not treating them in time after being injured. It didn't take a while to understand what Xu Ao was trying to express. Xu Ao saw that everyone understood what he was trying to express, so he continued to explain: "The small wound heals on its own, and there is no problem. However, the kind of wound that is so big that the flesh is rolled up cannot be healed by itself, and must be sutured with thread. Wait until the wound heals before removing the stitches. So I brought in some girls from outside who were skilled in needlework, and they came with me to treat the wounded. ”
Xu Ao looked at General Qin: "Three hundred catties of alcohol plus cotton, a total of fifty taels." It should be enough for these 50,000 or 60,000 people. I also asked the general to be able to transport the wounded from other places, and I would organize a unified treatment. ”
"Where did you learn these methods?" Le Niu didn't believe that these methods could be created by a doll less than ten years old.
Xu Ao looked at General Qin, saw that General Qin nodded slightly, and then turned his head and said to General Le Niu: "I learned it at Sunset Pass." ”
Everyone had the same expressions on their faces. Sunset Pass has been fighting against Xirong all year round, and it is normal to know how some Central Plains countries will not know.
Xu Ao lowered his head, approached General Qin slightly, and whispered, "General Qin, I don't know if today's incident will offend the general. But I still want to say something. Every life is equal, and please don't put them on the scales. After that, regardless of General Qin's reaction, he returned to the tent with his head held high.
There are still people waiting for treatment, so I will not accompany them!
