I am really curious about Lao Chou. Where did he come from? Why did he want to go to Hetao Village but then said he would not go? Moreover, I have never seen him. From beginning to end, only when he was about to go
I said something to him when I got off the car, but not only did he guess my name correctly, he actually knew that I was intersex?!
It seems that folk strange people are really out of the world. When I saw Lao Chou today, I was able to see it. However, I turned around and thought about it. The matter of my fourth aunt was such a big fuss. If I inquired about it in the village, I should know all about it.
Chu, everyone in the village knows about whether I am a foreigner and my name. Thinking of this, I feel a little contradictory, but the people in the village have absolutely no idea about intersex people, so my thoughts are all the same.
The emotions are flowing out, and my reason is reminding me to be wary of strangers, but in my heart I am inexplicably convinced of him. I have never had this feeling with others, it seems to be an instinct, tell me again,
He is not a bad person.
When I followed Sanlin to his house, I kept sizing up this old ugly uncle secretly. The energy in his eyes was not deceiving. He must have some abilities, but as for what he said in the car
It is unclear whether he inquired about the matter or calculated it.
Thinking of this, my heart seemed to be slightly suspended. This old ugly man was either an enigmatic folk figure, or a charlatan with excellent acting skills. But, what was the point of him lying to me?
As soon as the author's idea came out, it seemed to be directly rejected by him.
"You think I don't look like a good person."
As soon as I entered Sanlin's house, Lao Chou suddenly said this behind me, as if my little thoughts had already been filtered through his eyes. I was startled for a moment, and looked back at him with some confusion.
He smiled awkwardly: "Uncle, I..."
"It doesn't matter."
Lao Chou interrupted me with a magnanimous expression: "It is essential to be on guard against others. Trusting others is a taboo in our industry. It is not about your ability to tell the truth. The most important thing is whether you are a talented person. Go in first."
Well, I'll rush there whenever I say it, but the victim can't afford to wait for anyone."
I nodded and was about to speak when I heard Sanlin shouting from inside the room: "Sir! Come in quickly and show my wife!!"
I responded. I didn’t have time to say anything more to the old ugly man, so I turned around and walked directly to the back room. No matter whether this old ugly man was with me or not, he was right in saying that the victim couldn’t afford to wait for others.
No matter how many questions this old ugly man has, he has to deal with Sanlin's wife's affairs first!
"Mr. Ma, please come and take a look! Look at what my wife is like. Is it right for me to ask Erli to pay for my wife's legs!!!"
Sanlin's wife was lying on the kang, her eyes were closed, her face was flushed, her teeth were chattering slightly, she looked like she was shivering from the cold, she seemed to have a fever, Sanlin yelled at me
After shouting, he reached out and lifted up the quilt covering his wife's body, and a black leg was exposed. In an instant, Sanlin's wife shivered even more violently, her eyes closed and she kept mumbling.
: "Cold, cold...I'm cold..."
"Cuiling, please be patient. Your husband is here. He came to see you and your illness will be cured soon..."
"It hurts, it hurts... help me..." Xu Shi heard Sanlin's voice. Cuiling closed her eyes and muttered in pain, looking sad.
Sanlin comforted his wife with a distressed look on his face, "It won't hurt anymore. Sir, I'll show it to you right away. Just bear with it for a little while."
Seeing this scene made me feel a twinge in my heart. Looking back now, he felt sorry for his wife and went to question Erli. His words may have been too extreme, but it was excusable. After all, it was his wife who suffered, and it would be wrong to deny her relatives if he got anxious.
Normal, thinking, I watched as Sanlin slowly opened the gauze wrapped around his wife's calf, and untied the gauze in circles. The air, which was already damp because of the rain, slowly spread...
There was a trace of rotten smell, and when the gauze was completely untied, the rotten smell came to my face in an instant, just like the smell when my fourth aunt spit foam outside that day. Looking at Cuiling's legs, it turned out to be as big as the palm of her hand.
The wounds were huge, and the rotten flesh was turned over. If you look carefully, you can see the white leg bones inside. Yellow mucus and black water are still flowing out along the rotten flesh.
It was dripping. As soon as the gauze was brought, the flies buzzed and landed on Cuiling's calf wound, greedily feasting on it, even if they dared not open it——
Fortunately, I didn't eat anything, so although my stomach lurched twice, and finally two mouthfuls of sour water came back into my throat and I swallowed them without changing my expression, my cousin couldn't control it. He held it back.
Instead of spitting it out in front of San Lin, he turned around and ran straight out the door to find a place to solve the problem himself.
Sanlin no longer cared about other people's expressions when they looked at her daughter-in-law's legs. A grown man also shed tears: "What's going on? Tell me, who should we mess with? Let's go to the toilet."
I was bitten when I was young, and then it became like this. People said it was wrong for me to go to Erli, so who should I go to?"
I silently did some mental construction, telling myself that the yellow water and black foam on Cuiling's legs was nothing, and it didn't matter if it smelled a little. I am a husband, and I must not be like my cousin at this time, otherwise I will look down on myself.
I, especially a man as old as San Lin, cried in front of me. My sense of mission forced me to handle this matter. Thinking about it, I took two steps forward and looked.
San Lin glanced at him: "Uncle Lin, do you have a needle?"
Sanlin nodded repeatedly and didn't ask me what I wanted the needle for. Then he turned around and took out a sewing box from the drawer and handed it to me: "Will this kind of needle work?"
I nodded, took the lighter on the table next to me, lifted the needle, and then lightly pricked Cuiling's wound: "Does it hurt?"
Cuiling closed her eyes tightly and said nothing except for her trembling lips. Sanlin became anxious and held her hand: "Daughter-in-law, do you feel any pain..."
I waved my hand to indicate that he didn’t need to ask questions. He should have squeaked when it hurt. This meant that the flesh was rotten and she was unconscious. I remember that my grandma once showed a leg to someone from the same village, but that person was really sick. Grandma was asking for help.
Xian'er was optimistic about it, and this Cuiling... I exerted a slight force on my hand, and the needle pricked down, black blood gushed out, and the disease was confirmed. When I saw Cuiling's appearance when she had a fever, a sudden thought occurred in my mind.
Flash, three words came out——
"tetanus."
"tetanus."
I was stunned for a moment, and turned around to look at Lao Chou with surprise. He who had never responded actually said the same three words to me at the same time, and I unknowingly let go of my guard.
Sanlin wiped away his tears and nodded: "It's tetanus! People say you have to have your legs amputated if you go to the hospital! You may not even be able to save your life! How about treatment! You two gentlemen! Please save my wife!!"
Lao Chou looked at me with unstinting admiration in his eyes, and moved his hand to Cuiling: "Go on."
I actually felt a sense of sympathy for each other in my heart. It was hard to describe. It was just like what Lao Chou said at the beginning: we are from the same family. Yes, Lao Chou and I should be from the same group.
Turning back to look at Cuiling's legs, I really don't know much about medical skills, and I don't dare to mess around when life and death are at stake. But when my grandma was still alive, she also treated people, and she also used some herbal medicine to cure the disease.
The truth and the truth are always a bit involved. I have never encountered this kind of situation before. I thought I would be in a mess, but when I uttered the three words "tetanus", my mind began to vaguely
The human words that emerged from the dream seemed like a ball of tangled wool. Slowly, I pulled the threads out.
"Mr. Ma, what should we do? Please give us some ideas!"
I breathed out softly and watched Sanlin open his mouth: "Put the fly larvae on Cuiling's legs, wait until they finish eating the rotten flesh, blood and water, and then apply medicine to reduce inflammation, and then there should be no serious problem." I
I don’t know if I subconsciously watched my grandma do it, so I knew it, or it was someone in the dream who told me, but the thread I pulled out told me that this is what I should do, and Cuiling’s legs would definitely be saved.
.
"What the hell are baby flies!" Sanlin looked at me with a sad face: "The flies are all flying around, where can I catch the baby flies!"
I took a deep breath: "It's just maggots."
"Maggots!!" Sanlin's eyes widened: "That thing is so disgusting! Besides, where can I get rid of the maggots on this rainy day? Go to the toilet! Oh my god, who can do that?
It’s done!”
"Can you give me ten minutes?"
Lao Chou suddenly spoke next to me and looked at me: "Your method is good, but it's a bit slow. I have a faster method, but you need to wait for me for ten minutes, okay?"
Of course it’s no problem. I nodded. Saving people is the most important thing. My grandma has taught me since I was a child that I should always have a humble heart. Especially in our industry, where we are outsiders and outsiders, we must not be arrogant, so I did not
Instead of feeling like I was being robbed of the limelight at this moment, I felt extremely grateful to Lao Chou for his help.
"Ten minutes, what are you going to do in ten minutes?" Sanlin asked, sniffing.
Lao Chou didn't say much. When he saw me nodding, he put the dog directly on the ground. He looked at me and said, "Take care of it for me for a while." After saying that, he turned around, picked up an umbrella and walked out the door.
When the silver fox dog saw him leaving, he started to follow him out anxiously. I raised my hand to pick up the puppy and touched it gently, "Don't worry, uncle will be back soon." Only then did I notice it.
She also wore a small silver medal around her neck, with two words written on it, Sanmei.
"What's going on! Where did he go!" Sanlin watched the old ugly man leave and said anxiously: "Mr. Ma, if it doesn't work, I will go to the toilet to get maggots. He doesn't know if it will work or not. I don't know him."
He, but I believe you!"
I looked at San Lin. It was a bit disgusting to have maggots in the toilet. I opened my mouth and said, "Uncle Lin, wait a minute. This uncle is indeed very capable."
Sanlin Ji scratched his head anxiously: "But I am so impatient that I can't wait to hear anything. If you wait one more minute, my wife will suffer for one more minute!!"
Ten minutes is not long. I hugged the dog and comforted Sanlin. In fact, I was more willing to give Lao Chou these ten minutes. If he really had a faster way to save people, then I would have learned something.
And even to get maggots, it takes dozens of minutes. Although this method is effective, it is really annoying!
Just as I was thinking about it, the old man came back with an empty mineral water bottle in his hand. He put the umbrella directly on the ground, took the dog in my arms, put the bottle on the edge of the kang, and looked at me.
:"use this."
I looked at the bottle, and the content inside made me feel numb all over, leech!
