Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 24: The Master's Kindness Can Never Be Repaid in a Lifetime~~~
Falling spring cold.

The cold wind was howling and the rain was continuous.

The dripping rain hit the tent, splashing water everywhere.

"It's always a little uncomfortable when it's cloudy and rainy."

In the wounded camp, Lin Dao, with a pleasant face, comforted the wounded soldiers, "This is not a big deal. Take good care of your injuries. I will take care of your daily life."

"My Lord's kindness will never be repaid in my lifetime~~~"

The wounded soldiers sobbed and expressed their true feelings.

War will result in a large number of casualties.

The wounded soldiers in Yonghe Time and Space are only of noble enough status and high enough position.

Or the family is rich and can afford the cost of medicine.

Otherwise, you can only rely on your own body to resist.

Those who can endure will survive.

Those who can't make it will be carried out and buried.

Because there are no antibiotics, and the medical level, facilities and environment are extremely poor.

Normally, the death rate on the battlefield is only 20% to 30%.

However, in the wounded camp, the death rate was as high as a terrifying 70%!

Many people say that being carried into the wounded camp is like being carried into a cemetery.

This is an exaggeration. After all, most of the wounded soldiers in Yonghe time and space are not qualified to be buried in the cemetery after their death.

When Lin Dao came to the wounded soldiers’ camp for the first time yesterday, he retreated at the door.

The smell here was really unbearable for him.

Not to mention the sanitary environment.

It is no wonder that the mortality rate is so high as the wounded have been exposed to such harsh environment for a long time.

After arranging personnel and carrying out emergency environmental cleaning and ventilation, Lin Daofang came to express his condolences today despite the wind and rain.

"Is this an arrow wound?"

Lin Dao checked the wounds of the wounded man in front of him.

He leaned over and carefully examined the medicine applied to the wound, his face puzzled. "Is this...wood ash?"

The doctor who followed him quickly confirmed, "Master, it is indeed wood ash."

Wood ash is actually very useful.

It can be used to clean the wound directly or applied directly to the wound.

It can play an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal role and promote wound healing.

And it’s safe and has no side effects.

"How can this thing be used as medicine for wounds?"

Lin Dao said, "If this were in the hospital~~~"

If a doctor in a modern hospital dares to apply wood ash to wounds, then that hospital will be closed down.

Picking up the piece of cloth beside him and looking at the blood-stained linen, Lin Dao shook his head repeatedly.

"No wonder the death rate in the wounded camp is so high."

"Everyone." Lin Dao's eyes swept over the wounded soldiers. "I'll go order the best medicine for you!"

"Hold on!"

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Pull these wounded soldiers back from the brink of death and ensure their living standards and treatment.

Their loyalty will surely be rewarded.

After returning to the modern world, Lin Dao did not go to the hospital or pharmacy to buy supplies.

The medicines he bought included antibiotics.

This is a prescription drug, and even if you buy it in the name of a company, there will be very complicated procedures.

In this case, let's deal with it in a simple way.

Lin Dao bought veterinary antibiotics online.

These are the antibiotics that veterinarians use on livestock.

It is said to be for animal use, but in fact there is not much difference between it and human use.

In Lin Dao’s understanding, it probably means that the unit concentration is different, so the dilution ratio is different.

In terms of efficacy, he thinks it's about the same.

At least take it to Yonghe Time and Space, it is a life-saving magic medicine~~~
He placed an order for two barrels directly.

That’s right, veterinary antibiotics are sold in barrels.

In addition to antibiotics, Lin Dao also purchased a large amount of medical bandages, sodium chloride flushing solution, and wound medicine.

Speaking of medicine for wounds, Yonghe Time and Space has the best medicine, called Qilin Powder.

It is made of twenty-three kinds of precious medicinal materials and has a very good therapeutic effect.

Of course, the high cost of Qilinsan also meant that the low-status military households and common people could not even use it, let alone smell it.

"When it comes to medicine for injuries, Yunnan Baiyao is the best choice, of course."

Here in Lin Dao, I placed an order for Yunnan Baiyao very directly.

There is no doubt about this, Yunnan Baiyao is so famous.

In the field of wound medicine, no one can compare with him in fame.

Lin Dao kept placing orders and asked for faster delivery.

That is air express.

As long as the money is in place, cargo planes can transport goods really quickly.

"Those wounded soldiers are all eagerly awaiting treatment."

Having seen too much cruelty in Yonghe time and space, Lin Dao actually felt a little compassion for the world at this moment.

"Every day of delay is likely to result in the death of a group of wounded soldiers."

The biggest cause of death among wounded soldiers in ancient times was wound infection and tetanus.

In ancient times, it was called evil poison entering the body.

Because the tiny bacteria cannot be seen, it is called evil poison.

Various complications caused by wound infection can take a large number of lives.

A day later, Lin Dao arrived at Yonghe Spacetime with a large amount of medical supplies.

"Golden Lotus."

He did not rush to the wounded camp, but called Jinlian and said, "Gather all the women from Sanhe Village, and find some brave, careful, and serious women from the beggars' army."

Jinlian and Sun Rong worked beside him in a similar way to secretaries.

She is a secretary who actually does the work, not a secretary who does nothing but being idle.

Sun Rong was educated and literate, and was primarily responsible for administration and accounting.

As for the illiterate Jinlian, she is mainly responsible for daily chores.

After accepting the military households from Fengdunwu Fort, the population increased dramatically and the secretaries were very busy.

Of course, this can also train people.

It is obvious that Jinlian has exercised well.

It didn't take much effort to gather the right people, about fifty or sixty women. Lin Dao walked out of the cowhide tent and looked up at the sky full of rolling dark clouds.

"Although the rain has stopped, it seems that it will continue to rain."

"They say spring rain is as precious as oil, but it has delayed me for too many things."

The men and women who came out of Fengbao to seek refuge with him were beggars, as were the refugees he had taken in, the common people living in dens outside the city, and some captured civilians who had surrendered to the Later Zhao army.

Lin Dao now needs to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of 30,000 to 40,000 people.

The first thing is to build a house. We can’t always live in tents or dugouts.

But the weather does have a big impact.

Stepping on the muddy ground, Lin Dao looked at the women in front of him and said, "I came here to arrange a long-term job for you."

"It's a technical job, and you can use the skills for a lifetime."

People always have to distinguish between those who are close and those who are distant.

The woman from Sanhe Village followed Lin Dao all the way to Shangbai, Guangzong County.

Now that there are benefits, he naturally gives priority to those who are closer to him.

And he had made a promise in this regard before.

Doctors, no matter which dynasty, are a respected and high-income profession.

The older you are and the more experience you have, the higher your income will be.

More importantly, even the various Hu peoples understood the value of technical talent.

They will not be served on the table unless absolutely necessary.

"Move everything away."

Lin Dao directed the women to carry the medical supplies. "When we get to the wounded camp, watch carefully how I do it."

Lin Dao was not idle in the modern world yesterday. He took time out to learn some relevant knowledge.

In addition, living in an era of information explosion, modern people basically know a little about everything.

Seeing Lin Dao coming to the wounded camp with a large group of women, many people came over to watch out of curiosity.

When the wounded soldiers in the wounded camp saw the woman coming, they all endured the pain and suppressed their groans.

Men in Middle-earth care about their reputation and are unwilling to show their vulnerable side in front of women.

Lin Dao found a wounded soldier with an infected arrow wound and ordered his men to carry him to a spacious area.

"You can see everything clearly."

Lin Dao first took out the sodium chloride rinse solution. "This is salt water. It can be used to clean the wound."

He turned to look at the wounded soldier who looked anxious, and said with a reassuring smile, "It may be a little painful, just bear with it."

The wounded soldier immediately raised his head and forced a smile, "Master, just do it."

"If I hum, I'm not a hero!"

After untying the cloth and looking at the wound that had begun to become red, swollen and inflamed, Lin Dao poured the flushing fluid on it.

"Hiss~~~"

The wounded soldier immediately widened his eyes.

It really hurts~~~
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Lin Dao said kindly, "This is to treat your injuries."

The wounded soldier's face was distorted and he looked like he was about to cry.

But I still gritted my teeth and said, "No, it doesn't hurt~~~"

Among the women watching, some couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Jinlian glared at them, and they were so scared that they immediately shut up.

"His wound worsened and became infected, which means the evil poison entered his body."

Lin Dao lit the alcohol lamp, took out the scalpel and sterilized it over the lamp. "At this time, we need to cut off the deteriorated part."

He took a towel and asked the wounded soldier to bite it, and called Qin Lang and others who were watching the fun to hold the wounded soldier down before he started to cut him.

It’s not that Lin Dao is unwilling to buy anesthetics.

This thing is really hard to buy.

There was no other way but to let the wounded soldiers endure it.

Lin Dao had no experience, he had just watched some videos and understood some of the so-called courses.

When cutting, it is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries.

By the time it was barely over, the wounded soldier who had been pinned down by several big men had already fainted from the pain.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Lin Dao laughed at himself.

"I'm really not suited to this line of work."

When he was in school, he also thought about studying medicine.

After all, the job is stable and the income is high, and there are so many young and beautiful nurses in the hospital~~~
Unfortunately, I'm not cut out for this.

I can only say goodbye to the beautiful little nurses.

It's fate but not destiny~~~
"After cleaning the wound, the next step is to apply medicine."

Lin Dao took out the Yunnan Baiyao, opened the seal, and the aroma of medicinal herbs rushed into his mouth and nose.

After applying the medicine, Lin Dao took out the bandage and said, "I'll teach you a few bandaging methods."

"Circular bandage method~"

"Spiral bandage method~"

"Eight-Character Bandaging Method~"

"Remember this," Lin Dao instructed earnestly. "Before using the bandage, it must be cleaned and sterilized with high-temperature boiling. Otherwise, it may cause recurrent infection."

"If you don't have this kind of bandage, ordinary cloth strips can barely serve as a substitute."

Finally, he took out the diluted veterinary antibiotics.

"This thing is a miracle drug."

"After using it, it can resist evil poisons from entering the body."

After finishing all this, Lin Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at the women. "Have you memorized everything?"

The women didn't say anything. Instead, Qin Lang, who was holding the wounded soldier, said, "I'll remember."

"Ok?"

Lin Dao glanced at him.

The main advantage of using women to treat the wounded is patience and attentiveness.

In addition, when wounded soldiers face female medical workers, they will feel much less psychological pressure.

Jinlian was left with the women to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

Lin Dao walked out of the wounded soldiers' camp and fetched water to wash his hands.

"Master Lang."

After joining the army, Qin Lang, who changed his address to "Lang Zhu", came over and saluted. "I wonder what arrangements Lang Zhu has made regarding the house?"

"In a few days, it will be time for spring plowing."

"There won't be enough manpower to build houses by then."

Lin Dao looked up at the sky.

"I'll figure it out."
