Zhujiagou is located on the north side of Chang'an City, adjacent to the Jing River, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although there is little fertile land, the villagers can barely get by because the temple is entrusted with no taxes.
"So, your great-grandfather's generation only settled in the village?" Li Shan deliberately inquired about the inside story of Zhujiagou. He must know that Li Dewu was sent to Lingnan, but looking back at the memory of his predecessor, his mother Zhu's surname was from Lingnan, and even There is also an elder brother in Lingnan.
Zhu Ba said casually: "I heard from grandpa that when the world was in chaos, the Zhu family moved to Chang'an from Luoyang, but the Zhu family was actually originally from Guanzhong."
Li Shan thought about it in his mind but didn't find any clues. At this time, the two of them had entered the village. In the long and narrow village, there were people greeting people from time to time, but they were all greeting Zhu Ba and turning a blind eye to Li Shan... Apparently, a few days ago, Li Shan left a less than positive impression on the villagers.
"Ouch!"
Leng Buding received a slap on his butt. Li Shan turned around in pain and saw an eight or nine-year-old child stabbing him hard with a wooden stick in his hand. He looked pretty decent.
There was a dull sound, and Zhu Ba, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stopped the head of the stick with a bag filled with plaster, and shouted: "Little stone, what are you doing!"
The young woman carrying a bucket on the side curled her lips and said: "I went down the mountain early in the morning and just came back now. I heard that the elder of the Li family went to the city?"
The crowd of onlookers immediately started chattering a lot, with some insults mixed in.
"I will eat mutton soup cakes in the future, so why would I want to stay here!"
"Didn't you say that he doesn't recognize his son?"
"Not necessarily, maybe he went to hang himself outside the Pei Mansion again today..."
"I just have pity for Madam Zhu..."
Li Shan listened speechlessly, his reputation in the village was so bad... You tried your best to leave your mother behind to enjoy wealth, even children will look down on you.
Nowadays, the imperial examination has not been carried forward, and the character of filial piety is highly recognized both in official circles and among the people. What's more, although my mother, Zhu, has only been in the village for more than half a month, she is straightforward and enthusiastic, and is highly praised.
At this moment, a shrill shout suddenly came from the distance, and seven or eight people came running over carrying the door panel, followed by several women who were crying.
"what happened!"
"Stone, Stone, something happened to your father!"
The child who had just stabbed Li Shan with a stick was crying and running over, "Daddy, daddy..."
"Eighth uncle, help!"
"Uncle Eighth, go and ask for the doctor!"
There is no other surname in Zhujiagou. The patriarch Zhu Wei is the eighth in the senior generation. He looked at the man on the door with a livid face, stamped his feet and cursed: "It's already winter, there are no birds and beasts, why are you going up the mountain?!"
Outside the crowd, Zhu Ba, who was biting his lip, explained to Li Shan in a low voice that lying on the door panel was his cousin Zhu Jie in the next room. He made a living by hunting. The children in the family were greedy in the past two days, and the father wanted to go up the mountain and try it. As luck would have it, he accidentally rolled down the mountain and was pierced through the chest by a sharp branch.
Li Shan squinted his eyes for a while. The branch had been removed and the bleeding had stopped. If there was no infection, the problem should not be serious... As soon as this thought appeared, the man on the door panel suddenly opened his mouth and took a big breath, and his face quickly turned purple. .
His scalp was numb, and something spontaneous and compulsive appeared in Li Shan's mind. Without thinking, he pulled Zhu Ba and pulled out a knife from the guy's boot, "Go find a towel, or... The cloth must be clean.”
"Go quickly!"
After just two words, Zhu Jie on the door panel was already sweating profusely, as desperate as a fish thrown ashore. Some of the villagers next to him were crying, some were wailing, and some were crying silently. They couldn't do anything.
Zhu Wei fought on the battlefield when he was young. He knew at a glance that there was no way to save him. Not to mention that the doctor couldn't come in time, even if he came, he couldn't be saved... At this time, a huge force came from the side, and an arm violently swept him away.
At this moment, driven by instinct, the doctor will transform.
Li Shan, who had a stern look on his face, tore open the man's clothes, turned sideways and put his ear against it, and tapped his chest lightly with his middle finger.
"Master Li, what are you going to do?"
"Don't touch him!"
"He has a knife in his hand!"
A man swung his stick and was about to chop it down. Li Shan suddenly stood up and let out a violent roar.
"Shut up, everyone!"
There was silence all around, and before they could react, Li Shan squatted down, touched the injured man's ribs with his hands, gritted his teeth, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed down hard.
"Hiss..."
Amidst the exclamations of others, a slight hissing sound reached his ears. Li Shan sat down and made a decisive move after only doing a simple physical examination. It was too risky, but with luck, it was indeed a tension pneumothorax.
For Li Shan, who once worked shifts in the emergency department, this is a doctor's instinct and responsibility.
A woman's cry came from the side, and Li Shan didn't bother to pay attention. He put his ear against the injured man's chest, listened to the hissing sound, and tried to pull out the knife.
In this era, there are no needles... This is the only way. Li Shan conditionally launched the most practical plan. Infection is certain, but it is better than waiting to die.
The woman's crying had not stopped, but the others fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were not blind. After the knife was stabbed in, Zhu Jie on the door panel quickly improved. The bruises on his face became slightly lighter, his face became much better-looking, and most importantly, his breathing gradually eased.
"Dalang, how are you?" Zhu Wei, who was a lot older, knelt down and asked cautiously.
"Shut up!" Li Shan reprimanded, and after a moment he said without thinking: "Let me find a piece of bamboo, as thin as you can, and then let me boil water. I want it to boil. Leave it here and don't move it." .”
"Okay, okay."
"Have someone bring me another basin of water, hurry up!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and go!"
After swallowing, Li Shan carefully pulled out the knife, applied pressure to stop the bleeding, and yelled, "Where's Zhu Ba, he's not back yet?"
"Coming, coming!" Zhu Ba jumped high outside the crowd and looked inside.
"What is this?" Li Shan muttered casually, took a piece of red cloth and began to bandage it.
After confirming that the injured person was still alive, Li Shancai straightened up and swayed slightly. Zhu Ba and Zhu Wei beside him reached out to support him at the same time.
"We can only go here. We'll try again later." Li Shan whispered: "You can survive if you can survive, but if you can't..."
"It's already a life-saving grace!" Zhu Wei said decisively: "If I didn't come to the rescue, I would have been in vain by now."
"That's right!" The middle-aged man who came from the side said loudly: "Whether you live or die, the Zhu family appreciates it."
Zhu Wei pointed at the woman kneeling by the door, "If the elder doesn't take action, your husband's life or death is none of his business. You need to know this."
Before the woman with pear blossoms and rain could say anything, the little stone that had been stabbing Li Shan with a stick took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shan to thank him. Everyone's head rang.
Li Shan quickly pulled the child up, his forehead was already bruised and swollen.
"Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, just wait."
Half an hour later, Li Shan used a thin hollow bamboo to make a catheter and tried to drain the air out of the chest. Without the tools and instruments at hand, he could only do this step. Can he survive the subsequent infection? , depends on personal physique.
At this time, the doctor finally arrived. He looked at the injury and listened to the villagers' stories. He sighed at Zhu Jie's luck and took out a box of ointment.
Although he also studied Chinese medicine in college, Li Shan really... could only apply medicine in conjunction with it, thinking that it was reasonable.
After taking off the red cloth, Li Shan felt a little strange. Looking sideways, he saw that all the villagers who were respectful just now had strange expressions.
Li Shan blinked and shook the cloth away from his hand... Even though he had a good psychological quality, his hands trembled and he turned to look at Zhu Ba.
I asked you to find a piece of clean cloth, and you gave me a bellyband? !
