Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long didn't have time to drink his milk tea and hurried to see how Talihar was doing.

Not to mention the wounds on his head and face, which were obviously caused by branches. They look terrible, but are actually not very serious.

Because Talihar was sitting on the wooden kang with one leg horizontally placed and the other leg bent on the ground. Li Long could see at a glance that the leg horizontally placed on the kang was also bandaged.

The wound on the right arm was quite serious. Li Long gestured, and he and Halimu slowly untied the gauze.

Li Long had brought the gauze with him. After untying it, he saw that his arm was as swollen as his thigh. The wound on his arm was about twelve or thirteen centimeters long, red and swollen, and oozing yellow fluid.

"How many days have you been injured?" Li Long's face looked a little serious. It was obviously an inflammation.

"More than two days," Talihar was still conscious. He grinned, moving the wound and twitching in pain. He whispered:

"The day before yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I took my gun and went out to shoot an elk. There were elk hoof prints in the mountains near us, so I followed them across two mountains and found the elk running up the mountain, so I chased them, hoping to catch them alive.

As a result, halfway through the chase, a group of wild boars rushed down from the mountain. They rushed too fast and knocked me down directly. I had no time to dodge. Then a big wild boar lifted me up and threw me into the snow..."

"You're really lucky!" Li Long could smell the white medicine sprinkled on the wound. He touched Talihar's forehead. Talihar felt a little embarrassed and turned his head away subconsciously.

It's a bit hot, probably a low-grade fever.

"Come, let me take another look at the wound on your leg." Li Long carefully wrapped the gauze and said to him, "Don't be embarrassed, your wound is festering. If it continues like this, your arm will be lost."

Talihar was really embarrassed to let Li Long look at his legs, but Li Long had no choice at this time.

The wound on the leg was also wrapped in gauze. Li Long opened it and looked at the wound that was already oozing pus. He shook his head and said:
"Let's go down the mountain and go to the hospital."

"No, no, no, it can be cured here. Nathan's grandmother can cure it." Talihar shook his head hurriedly. "I came here to ask her for treatment. It's okay. She really can cure it. There's no need to go down the mountain, no need!"

Talihar's attitude was still firm, so Li Long had to turn his head and look at Halimu.

Halimu's mother could treat this kind of injury? Li Long was a little surprised.

"My mother did learn some medical knowledge of our Ha tribe before," Halim explained, "and she can treat external injuries, but I don't know if she can treat injuries like Talihar's."

Li Long had heard in his previous life that the Kazakhs also had a complete set of medicine, but it was mostly passed down orally, and the same was true for the Uyghurs.

Twenty or thirty years later, Uyghur medicine, Harbin medicine, and Mongolian medicine all had their own specialized clinics in many counties in northern Xinjiang.

And it is indeed very effective for some diseases.

He himself has heard of some treatment methods. For example, after a fracture, Uyghur doctors do not use plaster or steel plates and nails. After the bone is set, they use egg white to apply gauze layer by layer, which acts as plaster and is wrapped around the fracture site of the patient. This process is quite long, perhaps two or three months.

Of course, the gauze needs to be changed once a week, and wrapped again with egg white. Of course, this also helps relax the muscles and blood vessels.

It will basically heal after three months, and there is no need to remove steel plates and nails like in current hospitals to treat fractures.

Li Long had only heard of it. Someone around him had used it on a fracture that was not particularly serious, and the effect was quite good.

He didn't know how to treat the old lady.

Li Long looked at the old lady.

The old lady had obviously seen Talihar's wound. She shook her head and talked to Halimu and Li Long for a long time.

"My mother said that if the injury is relatively minor, it can be cured with mountain herbs, but Talihar's injury is serious right now, so we should not delay. She encountered a similar serious injury at the foot of the mountain in the summer, and it was cured faster in the hospital. She asked Talihar to go with you."

The old lady said so, and Talihar was speechless.

"Can I go with you?" Halimu said, "I can go there to take care of him. There are some things that may be inconvenient for you to do alone."

"Okay." Li Long said, "Should we tell his family about this?"

"Don't worry about that. Nathan's mother can just ride over and let them know."

"It's not that serious, right?" Talihar said stubbornly, "I thought I could just stay at home for a few days and then I'd go find my gun..."

It turns out that this guy also threw away his gun.

Li Long didn't say much. He and Halimu helped Talihar put on his clothes. Halimu explained everything to his family, and then helped Talihar get into Li Long's jeep.

Li Long drove slower on his way back, after all, there was an injured person in the car.

But the road condition is really bad. Li Long didn't notice it when he was driving by himself, but now he can clearly feel it when he is pulling Talihar.

The young man was really patient and would only hum when he really couldn't help it. Along the way, Li Long counted and found that Talihar hummed at least twenty or thirty times.

It wasn't until the jeep reached the Uyhi Highway that Talihar felt better.

Li Long hesitated for a moment when he got on the road, then turned left and drove towards Shicheng.

If you want to treat it, then treat it well. Ma County Hospital can also treat it, but in terms of medical skills, Shicheng Second Hospital is definitely better.

This place is only seven or eight kilometers away from Shicheng. After Li Long drove into the urban area of ​​Shicheng, he skillfully turned to the Second Hospital.

The jeep drove directly into the hospital yard. Some people who came to see the doctor were curious about which big leader came to see the doctor.

Li Long and Halimu helped Talihar into the surgery department, where someone was seeing a patient.

Seeing Talihar's situation, the people in the queue consciously made room for him and let Li Long and the other three wait at the door.

Or was it that people were of high moral standards at that time—at least in some respects.

Li Long sighed secretly and was about to thank others when a nurse came hurriedly and took a look as she passed by and said:

"If it's so serious, why don't you go to the emergency room?"

Li Long then remembered, yes, there is also an emergency room!
"Yes, yes, let's let this young comrade go to the emergency room. Look, the wounds on his arms and legs are bleeding..." An old man nearby also made a suggestion.

"Go, go, go..." Li Long was a little embarrassed. He still thought that Talihar's condition was not enough to go to the emergency room. He stopped after taking two steps and asked where the emergency room was before going over.

There were not many people in the emergency room at that time. After Li Long and his friends arrived, a nurse immediately took over and helped Talihar onto a bed, calling for a doctor at the same time.

A female doctor rushed over, looked at Talihar's condition, frowned and asked:

"Why did you come just now? It's been a few days already?"

"Three days." Li Long said, "They are in the mountains, it's not very convenient..."

After hearing what Li Long said, the doctor's expression eased a little, and he said while removing the gauze:
"The wound is infected. You need an injection to reduce inflammation. The wound also needs to be treated... Go and pay the fee first. We will process the hospitalization procedures and we will treat the wound now!"

Li Long took the bill and went over to pay, and Halimu stayed here.

When Li Long came back, Talihar's wound had not been treated yet.

"It's very serious!" Halimu said to Li Long seriously, "There's a lot of pus inside. I used gauze to dip it out. When I was applying the medicine, Talihar cried... He told me later not to tell anyone else..."

Li Long also sighed secretly, Talihar was also a disaster-ridden country. He wanted to go hunting before, and had an encounter with a bear, and he almost died.

He had finally recovered and made progress, becoming a well-known hunter in the small tribe, when suddenly this happened.

I don’t know if he will still be in the mood to continue hunting after his injuries have healed.

"By the way, the doctor said that the bones in his arm are also somewhat dislocated and need to be reset. It can be done today, but he can't move easily in the next few days."

Since you have to stay in the hospital, stay well. Li Long knew that once you get to the hospital, you should listen to the doctor. Soon he saw Talihar, who had been re-bandaged. Not only were the wounds on his arms and legs bandaged, but the wounds on his face were also covered with medicine. He was holding a crutch under his intact arm and followed the nurse out with light hops.

The nurse took them to the inpatient department and arranged for them to be admitted.

There were two empty beds in the triple-person ward. On the middle bed lay a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a hat and was looking curiously at Li Long and the others who had come in.

"Talihar, you will be in bed 43 from now on." The nurse pointed and said, "Go get your hospital gown and washbasin later. Don't run around. You will be given an injection later."

When he heard about the injection, Talihar became a little nervous. He looked at Li Long helplessly.

"It's okay, it's okay," Li Long smiled. "Compared to applying the medicine just now, the injection really didn't feel like anything. It's just like a mosquito bite."

The nurse glanced at Li Long and turned away.

"What about meals?" Halimu asked Li Long, "Do I have to stay here with him for a few days?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Halimu, you can go back." Talihar said immediately after hearing this, "You don't have to stay here, I can do it."

"Don't worry, I'll go ask." Li Long said, "There should be food in the hospital. If not, I'll ask outside to bring it in..."

"Yes, there is a cafeteria behind the hospital. You can go there to eat or get food." The middle-aged man in the middle bed said, "There is an ethnic cafeteria and halal food. But you have to prepare a lunch box."

"It's okay, I'll go buy it." Li Long said, "First make sure if he needs a companion."

The ward was heated, so it was very warm inside even though it was very cold outside. There was coal in Nanshan, so there was no shortage of coal in winter, and the hospital's boiler was running very well.

Li Long went to the nurses' station to get his things and asked about Talihar's accompanying care.

"He needs someone to accompany him. He will have difficulty moving for at least the first few days, and he won't be able to do some things on his own." The doctor said, "After the first three days, when the wound gets better and he can move around on his own, he basically won't need someone to accompany him."

Li Long understood. When he got the things and returned to the ward, the nurse was already giving medicine to Talihar and preparing for the injection.

Hang an intravenous needle.

"Come on, Halim, let's go buy him a lunch box and bring back some food."

It was almost lunch time. Li Long didn't know the situation in the canteen, so he planned to take Halimu around first. Halimu would have to stay in the hospital for the next two days. Li Long would go to the mountains in the afternoon to explain the situation, then go home and come back tomorrow.

He drove a jeep to take Halimu to the department store and bought two aluminum lunch boxes and two enamel water bottles, towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes, bedding for Halimu to accompany him, and other daily necessities. Li Long could actually get a set from home, but there was no need to. It would be easier to buy it now.

Afterwards, Li Long took him to the old street and bought two naan from Keyumu.

"My friend, I haven't seen you for a long time." Keyumu was very happy to see Li Long. "Is this your friend? Adasi, are you okay?"

Halimu felt a sense of time and space illusion when listening to Keyum's pure eastern Henan accent. He did not answer but turned his head to look at Li Long.

"Don't look at me, this is my accent. My home is in this reclamation area, and my neighbors are from eastern Henan and western Anhui. They all speak this accent, so I just learned it." Keyum was no longer surprised. Anyway, this is how everyone looked at him when they heard him speak for the first time.

Li Long and Halimu drank a bowl of milk tea here and then hurried to the hospital.

He found out the location of the cafeteria and took Halimu to the cafeteria, where he saw the word "Halal" there.

Li Long brought Halimu to get some food for Talihar. Yuan Lilong planned to eat with Halimu in the cafeteria, but Halimu wanted to eat naan with water.

"This naan is very good." Halimu ate the naan with great satisfaction.

Li Long did not force him and ate in the cafeteria. When he came back to talk to Halimu and the others, he found that Talihar, who had just finished the injection, was also eating naan.

Ok.

After explaining the situation to them, Li Long stuffed another fifty yuan into Halimu's pocket, but Halimu refused to take it and said he had already brought it with him.

Since he had to come tomorrow anyway, Li Long did not insist. He took Halimu to the nurse to register for accompanying, paid a deposit, and found a bed for Halimu at night.

Although there was an empty bed in the ward, the nurse would definitely not let Halimu sleep there at night, as it might be inconvenient for a patient to come.

Li Long not only took Halimu to see the place where the bed was, the place where the water was turned on, the water room, the toilet and other places, but also showed him how to use the faucet and reminded him to wash Talihar's feet, etc.

Halimu could feel Li Long's caution when he said these things. He knew that he did not look down on him for not knowing how to do these things, but understood that it would take a process.

"As for experience, you need to learn these things, just like I need to learn how to skin and process prey when I go into the mountains to hunt."

Li Long's words made Halimu put away his original inferiority complex. Although he was still a little restrained, he was no longer ashamed of the fact that he and Talihar didn't know many things.

It's normal. It's impossible for people to learn everything. If you don't know it, just learn it.

After Li Long left, the middle-aged man in the middle bed asked them:
"Who is this young man to you? Did he hurt you?"

"No, no, he is our friend." Halimu explained hurriedly.

"My injury was caused by a wild boar while hunting," Talihar also explained, "It has nothing to do with him. If it weren't for him, I would have been recovering in the mountains."

"The doctor said that you have to recuperate in the mountains. Your arm might be damaged later." Halimu sighed, "Your leg might even become lame."

Talihar felt a little scared after hearing this.

He thought it was no big deal.

In fact, basically everyone in this tribe lives this way. If they have minor injuries or illnesses, they just endure it themselves. If they have serious injuries, they will seek help from an old person like Halimu’s mother who has some medical skills, but cannot be called a doctor.

Although they were already members of the pastoral team, they were not used to going to the hospital for medical treatment.

It will take many years to change such habits.

"Then this person is pretty good." The middle-aged man nodded. He got out of bed, slowly put on his clothes, and prepared to eat.

It was only then that Halimu saw the middle-aged man wearing a hat and with gauze wrapped around his head. He had not noticed it before because it was blocked by the hat, but now he saw it when he stood up.

I guess he lives here because he's injured.

Halimu didn't care about that. He moved the radiator in the ward and sat down in front of it. He smiled and said to Talihar:

"You've never lived in a house like this, have you? It's much better than a winter nest. It's warm, spacious, bright, and the food is good...but your feet are a bit smelly, hahahaha..."

"Yours is the one that stinks! After I finish hanging this up, I'll go wash my feet!" Talihar blushed. In fact, he had already felt the nurse's reaction when he took off his shoes and got on the bed.

Their living habits are different. Li Long noticed it just now and told him about it in a low voice.

Halimu was actually teasing Talihar. He could feel that Talihar was a little nervous. He was nervous too, but on the one hand, he was older than the other, and on the other hand, since he came to take care of the young man, he had to calm down, so he also said:
"I want to wash my teeth, too. Li Long has bought all the towels. I'll go to the bathroom and wash my teeth first. I also want to brush my teeth. I've always thought that Li Long's teeth are better. Now I want to try brushing my teeth every day to see if they will become whiter."

"I want to try it too." Talihar said with a bit of competitiveness.

"Okay, I'll teach you later."

It's just brushing teeth, Halimu said it very formally and didn't mean it as a joke.

No, just learn it, it’s no big deal.

Seeing that the medicine in the bottle was almost gone, Halimu hurried over to call the nurse. The nurse came over, removed the needle, told him to keep pressing for a while, and left.

When they felt the bleeding on the back of their hands had stopped, the two of them actually took the newly bought cup, toothbrush, towel and washbasin to the bathroom to wash themselves thoroughly.

At this time, Li Long had already driven his car and turned towards Nanshan again. (End of this chapter)
