Qicun didn't use many medicinal tools. Li Qingyun often saw him treating snake venom. One was an external device used to cut the wound and suck out the venom, and the other was traditional Chinese medicine for internal and external application.
This time I heard that many soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes, so Qicun brought all the pills at home. When Li Qingyun came back, he asked him to pack his things too, saying that he didn't need to bring too many things this time, and the military would be responsible for everything.
.
Li Qingyun understood that Uncle Qi Cun was afraid that he could take out everything from his backpack like last time, which was like a hundred-bag box.
However, no one knew the secret of the small space, so the hidden backpack had to be brought on. So he said hello and said he would go back and get the hiking backpack.
Li Yuncong was very excited. He heard that he could participate in secret operations with the soldiers and explore the mountains. He found it very exciting. Even if he learned some techniques for treating venomous snakes from his father, he would not be bored.
Time was very tight, so he plugged in the power bank and turned on his mobile phone. Li Qingyun called his family and explained his whereabouts. He also called his cousin Yang Yunu and told her to pay attention to safety and be careful of Lu Xiaoguang.
Then he carried a mountaineering bag and boarded the military's off-road vehicle. With Qicun, Li Yuncong sat in the back seat, and a middle-aged officer sat in the co-pilot.
His expression was anxious, but he still patiently explained: "After entering the mountains, you must obey the military's instructions and do not act without authorization. The mountains are very dangerous now. Venomous snakes are very aggressive, and some wild beasts have also been attacked.
He also became irritable and aggressive."
"When we arrive at the foot of the mountain, a military helicopter will come to pick us up. By the way, my name is Sun Yan. I will be responsible for the medical and logistics affairs of this operation for the time being. If you need anything, you can contact me directly. I will always follow you.
Together."
Li Qingyun asked: "This morning, I saw four military ambulances crossing the river. There are so many military doctors and they can't treat the injured soldiers. Is it really okay for us laymen to pass through?"
"It's not a problem of manpower. Some medical experts said that the snake venom has mutated, and the snake venom serum originally prepared is no longer effective, and may even cause abnormal reactions. There is no way now. Someone suggested that a nearby doctor who treats venomous snakes come over. It depends on whether it works or not.
Give it a try." Sun Yan said.
"Do you know Chu Yang? I heard that he is also on a mission here." Li Qingyun asked tentatively.
"Huh? How do you know? This is a secret after all. With Captain Chu's personality, it is impossible to leak it to others easily." Sun Yan's expression changed slightly and he stared at Li Qingyun with burning eyes.
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "Chu Yang and I are friends. I saw him performing an inspection mission the day before yesterday, so I said hello. Although he didn't say anything, you can guess that he was performing a mission nearby, otherwise he would not have appeared near our village.
.”
Hearing what Li Qingyun said, Sun Yan's expression softened and he smiled: "Haha, I know him. He belongs to a special organization and most of the tasks he performs are dangerous. Wherever there is an emergency, you can see him. We are on the top of the mountain.
The medical area is also guarded by special security personnel under his command. If anything happens, he will definitely show up."
Seeing Sun Yan's change of attitude, Li Qingyun guessed that Chu Yang might have a high position and be in a special unit, so he kept talking about the confidentiality regulations all day long. No, just find an officer who knows him and tell him
Just find out his situation.
Qicun suddenly coughed twice, cleared his throat and said: "Fuwa, Datou, since there are more wounded people on the top of the mountain, I will first explain to you the principles and basic treatment methods of treatment, so that you can be mentally prepared."
As soon as he said this, he heard Li Yuncong protest dissatisfied: "Dad, will you die if you call me by my name? It's okay if others call me my nickname. Why do you call me all day long? If you call me by my name again, I will worry about you!"
Qicun's response to him was just a slap in the face and scolded: "What can you do if you are anxious? I am happy to call you Datou. Didn't you listen to what others said, Datou is smart, I wish you could be smarter. I just started teaching you.
With a little bit of basic knowledge on treating snake venom, you just make a fuss, don’t you deserve it?”
Qi Cun is an honest person. He usually doesn't get angry, but when he gets angry, his aura is a bit scary. Li Yuncong suddenly lost his temper, hung his head, and listened to his father's explanation honestly.
Li Qingyun grinned and did not interfere in the conflict between their father and son.
"Listen carefully, what I'm talking about has been passed down from generation to generation and has been verified by modern medicine to form a unique treatment plan. You should be more attentive and learn it well. This will affect your success in saving people in the future.
Speed, human life is at stake, so we can’t be careless.”
Qicun did not shy away from the presence of officer Sun Yan. What he wanted to talk about was only basic knowledge. The real secret recipe was the Chinese medicine he prepared to treat venomous snakes, not these basic knowledge.
"Most venomous snakes have triangular heads, thin necks, long teeth, and open their mouths wide when they bite. The venom glands of venomous snakes are connected to the fangs. When they bite, the venom is injected into the human body through the teeth. There are two holes in the bite area.
Among the teeth marks, the front two appear deeper and thicker than the others. If these conditions occur, then this snake is likely to be a venomous snake."
"It's not enough to just know it's a venomous snake. We need to identify the type of venomous snake bitten from the wounds. This requires a certain amount of experience. If you can't tell, you need to ask the injured person to describe the length of the snake that bit him.
What kind, what kind of color, what kind of pattern. If you ask these questions clearly, half the battle will be won."
"You must ask why. Because although there are many poisonous snakes, they can be divided into four types based on their venom."
"The first type is blood circulation toxins, such as vipers, bell snakes, bamboo leaf greens, five-step snakes, etc. It causes rapid swelling and hardening of the bitten area, bleeding, severe pain, purple-black skin, and often skin necrosis.
, swollen lymph nodes. It can spread to the head, neck, limbs and waist and back within 6-8 hours. The sick dog trembles, has elevated body temperature, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, and cannot stand. Nose bleeding, blood in urine, convulsions. If bitten
If no effective treatment is received within the last 4 hours, death will occur due to heart failure or shock.
"
"The second type is neurotoxins, such as the toxins secreted by snakes such as Bungarus and Bungarus. After being bitten, the local symptoms are not obvious, the bleeding is small, the redness, swelling and fever are mild. However, within a few hours after the injury, there is a sharp systemic
Symptoms include: the patient is excited, restless, in pain, has muscle tremors all over the body, foams at the mouth, has difficulty swallowing, has difficulty breathing, and finally lies down on the ground, with whole-body convulsions, respiratory muscle paralysis, and death."
"The third type is mixed toxins. The venom of snakes like cobras and king cobras is mixed toxins. The local wound will be red, swollen, hot, painful, and may have necrosis. After the toxin is absorbed, the systemic symptoms are severe and complex, including neurological symptoms and
There is damage caused by circulating toxins, and ultimately, the dog dies from suffocation or cardiac failure.”
"The fourth type is cytotoxins, and sea snakes are cytotoxins. The venom of sea snakes mainly damages the voluntary muscles of the human body, not the nervous system. Sea snake bites are painless, and there is a latent period for the onset of toxicity. After being bitten by a sea snake,
There are no obvious symptoms of poisoning within 30 minutes or even 3 hours. However, it is very dangerous and can easily make people paralyzed. In fact, sea snake venom is absorbed by the human body very quickly. The first thing you feel after poisoning is muscle weakness, soreness, drooping eyelids, and rigid jaw.
, a bit like the symptoms of tetanus, and the heart and kidneys will also be severely damaged. People bitten may die within a few hours to a few days. Most sea snakes only hurt people when they are harassed."
After hearing this, Li Qingyun thought thoughtfully and said: "Uncle Qicun, we have the first three types of venomous snakes here, but we have never seen the fourth type of sea snake. Do we also need to learn how to treat sea snake venom?"
"There is no need to learn, because I don't know how to treat it. Our ancestors have lived in Qinglong Town for generations, and the only things that can be treated are common poisonous snakes on land. In fact, I only have two kinds of pills here, one is mainly used to treat blood circulation toxins, and the other is mainly used to treat neurotoxins.
The two are used together to treat mixed toxins. The ointment applied to the wound can be used or not. If this ointment is not available, it can be rinsed with water."
And Li Yuncong was lazily lying on the back seat, almost falling asleep, and said in a daze: "What's the use of talking about this? Wouldn't it just tell us the secret recipe of medicine? It's useless to eat one kind, and then give another one.
It’s just a kind of thing, but it won’t kill anyone if eaten.”
Qicun slapped his son on the head again and said angrily: "Damn! What are you talking about? Who said eating a person can't kill you? If you are bitten by a venomous snake, it will be different one minute earlier than one minute later. Bite by the same venomous snake
Injuries, because the amount of injected toxins is different, the dosage of medicine must also be adjusted, and the weight of the injured person is different, and the dosage of medicine must also be adjusted. If you don’t understand this, isn’t it easy to eat dead people?”
"Hit me on the head again. Even though I was smart, you made me stupid." Li Yuncong muttered a few words, but when no one sympathized with him, he immediately closed his mouth.
Seeing that his son had calmed down, Qicun continued to preach: "When you first see the injured, tie them up to prevent the toxin from spreading throughout the body. If the back of the foot is bitten, tie it up on the calf. If the back of the hand is bitten, tie it up on the calf."
Tie the arm. You can use ordinary rope or a tourniquet. However, you must pay attention to the time of tying, and loosen it for two to three minutes every twenty minutes, otherwise the blood circulation will stop and the limb will become necrotic."
"The next step is to clean the wound, just rinse it with water or saline. If the bite site has been sealed, you need to use a knife to open it, and use a cupping cup or breast pump to suck out the toxins. The sucker I made myself is based on cupping.
The shape is modified. If time is urgent and these tools are not available, you can only suck it with your mouth. Before sucking, it is best to drink rapeseed oil to prevent toxins from poisoning yourself through oral wounds. After sucking, rinse your mouth with water.
"
Then, Qicun took out two bottles of medicine and explained to the two people: "Basically, feed them different medicines based on the type of toxins of the injured. Later I will teach you how to distinguish the two medicines, as well as the key points of preparation. If the injured
If the pain is unbearable, you can also apply some homemade ointment on them."
Li Yuncong suddenly laughed and said: "Dad, you have only taught us everything in these two moments, how can you make a living in the future? Otherwise, you can keep your unique skill of catching snakes yourself, and you don't need to teach us."
