Zhang Fei was breathing hard, and he could not open his eyes because his eyelids were burned and lost consciousness.
But holding on to his consciousness, he knew that he had to tell Zhuge Liang and others the information, so...
"Hey... Military Advisor, Military Advisor, you are here..."
"Yide, I'm here, I'm here!"
Zhuge Liang quickly crouched down next to Zhang Fei - upon hearing Zhuge Liang's voice, Zhang Fei took another hard breath and seemed to use up all his strength to say something:
"It's...a black wine flask...inside...it's filled with black powder."
"Someone threw it at me, and I just broke it into pieces...the powder spread all over the floor, and then...it seemed...it seemed like a light of fire?"
"Then I was pushed away by a wave of heat, until now..."
flagon?
powder?
explode…
Several words were connected together, and now Zhuge Liang confirmed his guess...
"I'm afraid it's Yi Xiaotian's new weapon... I haven't seen them use it before... but it happened to be in a fire scene... I guess that if this thing is to exert such power, it needs fire as a guide."
"In short... Next, we must make our soldiers careful. If the fire is not extinguished... we can't move forward rashly now... Tsk——"
Zhuge Liang analyzed a lot of information from Zhang Fei's few words.
In particular, he captured one of the most critical points, which is fire——
No matter what this new weapon looks like, Zhuge Liang has already thought about it. As long as the enemy uses fire attacks, they must retreat as soon as possible...can't...can't be on guard like Zhang Fei after receiving an impact.
The doctor heard what Zhuge Liang said... Although he didn't understand the war, he basically understood that Zhang Fei's injuries were all caused by burns.
"It turned out to be like this...this injury..."
The old doctor has been in the world for so many years, and he once became a disciple of a famous teacher when he was young, but seeing such an injury, he is not sure now.
Although he is not a real military doctor, he has heard a lot about the tragic consequences of soldiers who were burned on the battlefield - in his opinion, burns are even more terrifying than those wounds caused by swords.
so…
"Mr. Zhong, how is my third brother...you...save him quickly...I will give you whatever...you want!"
Liu Bei was completely panicked. Seeing Zhang Fei in pain, he couldn't bear this kind of suffering.
Liu Bei, who couldn't stop crying, rushed to the doctor and knelt down in front of the old doctor with a plop, which shocked everyone.
"Lord! Why do you have to..."
"Oh, General Liu, you get up first, get up quickly...I will definitely do my best to deal with General Zhang's injury, but there is something I need to talk to you about first -"
As if he had a premonition that the doctor would say something bad, Zhuge Liang quickly waved his hand. Chen Dao immediately understood and dismissed the soldiers around him. Soon... there was no one outside the camp where the people were temporarily stationed, with only a few left.
Famous generals and Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others.
"Mr. doctor, you said..."
Zhuge Liang was worried that the doctor's words would affect the already wavering military morale, so he acted like this. It can only be said... that he did his best.
The old man sighed, pointed at Zhang Fei and said:
"Those of you who lead troops in war may not have paid attention to the injuries of the real low-level soldiers. I will only tell you an example. Once, my eldest son from the same hometown went to join the army. Later, he was burned in a war and had to retreat to the rear.
"
"The general was also very kind and gave him a large sum of money. At that time, the young man only burned one leg. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Who would pay attention to the injury of an unknown soldier alone?"
"Even his father didn't take it seriously... He just thought that if the burned leg was wrapped, it wouldn't be long before it would be as good as before."
The old doctor spoke quickly, and everyone listened carefully. He was telling the truth. In fact, everyone present really didn't pay much attention to the injuries of individual soldiers when they led the troops to fight——
In their eyes, the wounded are often just a series of numbers.
The old doctor continued:
"But here's the problem. I was studying medicine with my teacher at the time and was not in the countryside. Otherwise, I would have told them that this kind of burn should not be underestimated——"
"Not long after that, the eldest son of that family's whole leg was rotten. Not just the leg, but starting from the leg, then the body, and then the whole person..."
"When he died later, his body was covered with scars. Not to mention talking, it was difficult to breathe -"
"And he only burned one leg..."
hiss--
After saying this, there was a gasp of cold air in the audience.
"Why... why is this happening?"
Zhuge Liang didn't understand medical skills, so he naturally asked questions in confusion. At this moment, Liu Bei fell to the ground again, ready to burst into tears.
The old doctor shook his head:
"Don't underestimate the human body. The teacher once told me that you just need to imagine where the sweat comes from when you sweat on a daily basis -"
Zhuge Liang vaguely understood the meaning of the old man's words.
Sweat comes from inside the body, and to be emitted, it has to pass through the skin.
"The teacher also told me that human body skin is not just a skin, it is transparent... Whether it is acupuncture or fire moxibustion... blood can flow out of the body skin even without a wound.
——And burns destroy the human body skin, and not only the blood and gas in the body are disordered, but also various changes that we have never imagined are also taking place."
"So it is not easy to treat burnt people. It is very easy to die. I hope you will be prepared..."
The doctor's words were already very tactful.
He gave an example, but the person in the example only burned one leg and died.
Zhuge Liang and others couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei...
Where did Zhang Fei get burned?
You should ask Zhang Fei where he didn’t get burned...
In other words... Zhang Fei might die because of this?
Zhuge Liang shivered, and the sound of Liu Bei's crying could not be heard in his ears. Fortunately, the doctor was also more domineering, so he pulled Liu Bei away and said to him:
"But don't worry. Although I follow you all for money, doctors have their own medical ethics. I will do my best to deal with the general's injuries——"
"And I don't know if it's fate... You have found the right person when you found me - except for my master who can cure such burns in this world, I dare say I am the only one who has the possibility to cure this general."
The old man's words were like a fire in the dark night, suddenly illuminating Liu Bei and others who were already in despair.
"Then... then I'd like to ask you to take more trouble... Yide is one of our warriors. If..."
"Hmph, don't say frustrating words, and don't waste time."
The old doctor signaled Zhuge Liang not to say any more polite words, and just kept to himself, greeting the apprentice who had come with him to get his luggage.
This made Zhuge Liang finally breathe a sigh of relief.
…
"By the way, let me ask you a question...is your master still alive?"
Zhuge Liang suddenly asked for no reason, which made the old doctor stop cleaning Zhang Fei's wound.
"Hahaha…"
He smiled and seemed to have heard something quite funny - Zhuge Liang thought he had said something wrong, but when he was about to apologize, he heard the old doctor say:
"Even if I die, my master will still be able to live well..."
"Master's surname is Hua. As for his real name..."
The old man shrugged, as if he was thinking of many old things in the past.
