My 1995 Small Farm.

If the injured person were a human, knowing the severity of their wounds, they would endure the pain even without anesthesia.

But the injured are wild beasts now.

Even though they are primates, and specifically intelligent golden snub-nosed monkeys, their intelligence is actually quite high.

Overall, they are still animals and do not understand human affairs.

They also lack knowledge of the methods and tools used by human society to treat injuries.

Even if they understand to some extent that humans will not harm them, they will still struggle when they experience pain.

“It’s not easy to use anesthesia. These monkeys, even the golden monkeys, will definitely think their companions are dead when they see them unconscious. They will go crazy and get angry, and they will no longer trust us.”

The lynx has extensive experience with this kind of thing.

This is true not only for monkeys, but also for other animals.

"Yes, that's why I said the conventional methods won't work."

Chen Ling thought for a moment and realized that secretly taking the monkey into the cave was not an option; he couldn't go and treat the monkey himself at night.

The wound is quite badly rotten.

No wound medicine could achieve such a rapid effect.

Furthermore, to treat this kind of injury, let alone a doctor, even an ordinary adult with some life experience knows that the rotten flesh must be removed in order to properly treat the injury.

"Should we use fire?"

The lynx thought for a moment, "First, burn the rotten wound with fire until it scabs over..."

"Stop, stop right there, brother! Wild animals are terrified of fire, and these monkeys are too. Aren't you just blatantly harming them?"

Chen Ling was speechless. Lynx used to be quite reliable, so why is this guy giving out random advice now that he's in a panic?

The saying goes that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but that's only true for his wife, Du Juan; it doesn't affect him.

"And it was an injury compounded?!"

"What should we do then? Maybe we should spend more money to send him to the hospital for treatment."

The lynx was also in a dilemma. If they went to the county hospital for treatment, the hospital would definitely not treat the monkey. They wondered if they could get help by offering more money.

"Forget it, it's getting dark soon, let's not bother. I've thought of an idea, let's try it out. If it doesn't work, we'll contact Beijing and have Professor Feng call someone over."

Chen Ling knew that simply treating the wounds on the golden monkey's body with anti-inflammatory drugs would definitely not be enough.

Such rotten wounds require timely removal of the decaying flesh, otherwise they will affect the bone.

Who will treat the monkey's bone wound then?

“Something’s wrong. This female monkey’s wound is seriously infected, and she has a fever now.”

At this moment, the lynx noticed something was wrong again.

The mother monkey was very well-behaved, but she was clearly exhausted and looked much more haggard than the other monkeys.

This was an unexpected event, not exactly a surprise.

It's normal to have a fever when the wound is severely infected.

And one more...

"It's not surprising that it developed a fever. With such a serious wound infection, a sudden heavy snowfall, and having traveled such a long distance, it's already quite remarkable that it didn't fall ill on the way."

As Chen Ling spoke, he stepped forward and touched the mother monkey's body, finding that it was indeed burning hot to the touch.

"Keep the children away from each other to avoid them catching any diseases. This monkey is in serious condition, so we need to be careful."

"Yes, then let's not let them get close. Let them play with the other little monkeys."

The lynx nodded.

While they were talking, the male monkey that Chen Ling had once saved kept running around trying to get close to Chen Ling, while also expressing concern for the female monkey.

They seemed more human-like than other monkeys.

In addition, when Chen Ling and the other person said that the children should play with the monkeys, it would actually bring the monkeys to them and let them play with Rui Rui and the other little children.

Although golden snub-nosed monkeys are generally mild-mannered and not wild monkeys with unpredictable tempers, young golden snub-nosed monkeys can be quite mischievous.

They were already jumping around near the large skeleton of the wild boar king, and standing on high ground to observe the movements of the dog pack and wolf pack.

I was a little unhappy when the big monkey called me down.

However, Rui Rui and his friends' toys soon attracted the little monkeys' attention.

The two groups of kids quickly started playing together.

Chen Ling then told the lynx that he was going to try a new treatment method, and then hurried off alone to the greenhouse.

He really wanted to use a new method to treat the injury.

Nothing else.

These were the sterile maggots he had carefully cultivated multiple times within the cave. Of course.

It may not meet the standards yet, meaning it's not very reliable to use it on people.

However, when applied to the current beasts, there's no need to worry too much.

Saying that golden monkeys were used as guinea pigs might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Because these sterile maggots are almost ready for use.

When used on wild animals, there is not much to worry about.

As for not telling the Lynx and the others explicitly.

He wasn't pretending to be profound about these things.

Rather, it's because the things inside the cave are not easy to take out, so they have to pretend to be mysterious.

Use the warm environment of the greenhouse as a cover.

Otherwise, it won't work.

Where can you find maggots in this freezing weather?

……

So, when Chen Ling returned with a delicate little wooden box containing a box full of white maggots...

Lynx and the others were shocked.

I was really shocked.

Aside from two old men, Zhao Yubao and Professor Zhong, who had heard about it.

Neither the lynx nor Zhao Dahai and Liang Yuemin knew about these things.

Now we see Chen Ling taking out these maggots to treat the monkeys.

Their reaction was predictable.

Besides being shocked and confused, I was also genuinely startled.

no way.

Who in their right mind would associate maggots with curing diseases?

Maggots are filthy things that surge wildly in latrines and seas of excrement.

Used for medicinal purposes?

Even when used on monkeys, it feels a bit too much.

Can't understand.

Incomprehensible.

Several women, including Liu Yinhuan, even showed worry in their eyes.

I'm a little afraid that Chen Ling will use this thing to further injure the golden monkey.

Or it might kill him.

Qin Yueru even had a strong reaction after seeing this thing, and couldn't help but feel like vomiting.

"Can this cure diseases? Is it for monkeys to eat? To supplement their nutrition?"

Zhao Dahai said one sentence.

This caused Qin Yueru, who was already feeling nauseous, to vomit completely.

"Day, could you please say less?"

Chen Ling was speechless upon seeing this: "These are sterile maggots, used to clean rotten flesh from wounds. I've been feeding them in the warm environment of the greenhouse, isolating them from many things..."

While complete sterility cannot be achieved, it is currently safe for use on animals.

"Maggots? Sterile maggots, is that what those friends from Taiwan and those university professors from Taipei were talking about in your papers when they came last time?"

Upon hearing this title, Professor Zhong immediately remembered what it was.

"Goodness gracious! I always thought this thing was still in your initial ideas and experimental stages. Could it be that this thing will actually be used on people in the future?"

Zhao Yubao also found it hard to imagine the scene: "To use Fugui's words, when I think of that scene now, my scalp tingles... Oh dear, I can't think about it, I really can't think about it."

"...Haha, we haven't needed it yet, have we?"

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I won't say any more. I'm going to find a warm room in the backyard to clean the monkey's wounds. If it's too cold, these maggots won't move."

"Come on, come on, I want to see too! I want to see how these maggots cure diseases!"

Men don't have many rules. Although they might find it a little disgusting at first, their strong curiosity quickly prevails.

Everyone rubbed their hands together, eager and excited. (End of Chapter)
