Chapter 616 Gauze

Everything has a cognitive process. If Shen Hao hadn't used the hundreds of inspectors under his command as evidence in the Chinese army's tent, the people present at that time would not have taken his remarks about boiling water seriously, and most likely would have concluded that he was Sophistry.

The doctors on the front line here still don't believe that the water in the river will not be afraid of the sickness of the floating corpse after the water is boiled, let alone the ordinary soldiers below.

The consular doctors at one side of the military depot were pressed to the ground with sticks next to the army sticks, and they screamed loudly. It is said that it is not easy to be wounded by the sticks to the abdominal cavity, but it is easy to leave hidden wounds if they hold back. For the rest of the doctors, the penalty was halved, each with fifteen army sticks, and no one in the back could escape.

The same is true of the chief officer of the military station, and just now he kept thanking Chen Zifang, because Chen Zifang clearly said that he would not report it back. But only this time.

On the other side was a large pot of boiling water, and Chen Zifang took the lead to dry three bowls in a row. The water inside was boiled, and it came from the water in the river outside the military station.

"The water in the river outside is running water. You can't drink it directly if there is a dead body floating in it, but you won't be afraid after boiling it. From now on, you can boil water according to the method I just did. After boiling it, let it cool down and drink it. You will even have diarrhea. It’s cured! Remember! It must be boiled, but it’s useless if it’s hot!”

Chen Zifang's ability to order the chief officer to be beaten here is a symbol of status in the eyes of the soldiers. Soldiers follow the crowd and are brave. Seeing someone take the lead and drink first, most of the doubts in their hearts are naturally removed. Besides, if it is really useless, who would dare to make people drink water that will make people sick? In case of plague, anyone can run away.

As a result, some soldiers whose mouths and skins were chapped by the days of lack of water, immediately took out their own bowls to scoop water into the pot under the leadership of Shi Zhang.

I took a sip, it was a little hot, and tasted like drinking cold water, but I had to blow it before drinking, which was more troublesome.

"Put the washed gauze in boiling water for an hour, and then dry it for later use. This can reduce the occurrence of pus filling the wound."

What Shen Hao saw was more than just one and a half problems, and even the normal things in Chen Zifang's eyes were all flaws in his eyes, but he had his own considerations, and he would not speak easily unless he couldn't hold back.

For example, when Shen Hao saw the dirty gauze wrapped on the wounded, he simply washed them and then wrapped them up again, how could this work? Do you think people didn't die fast enough or something?

Originally, with a big gash on his back, he survived hard, but if he died from the inflammation of the wound in the end, he would not be reconciled.

Inflammation and inflammation Shen Hao couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't know how to start it. He could only use the "pus filling" that everyone here knew well. Before the pus is filled, the whole body is usually hot, and then many seriously injured people will be taken away by the inflammation and fever caused by the infection before the wound is filled with pus.

Chen Zifang was stunned for a moment, then stared at Shen Hao, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Shen, this matter is no joke!"

"Shen is not joking. Although this method cannot eliminate it, it can definitely reduce the risk of pus filling."

"What's the point?"

"I don't know, it's just picking people's teeth. But the reasoning should be similar to "drinking boiled water." Shen Hao himself only "knows" but does not "understand". It is impossible for him to explain medical things. So I can only prevaricate. Fortunately, Chen Zifang is not an inquisitive person, he pays more attention to practical effects.

After thinking about it for a while, boiled gauze won't do any harm to the wounded anyway, so it's all a matter of trying to see if it's true or not. So I found twenty seriously injured in the military depot, first carefully cleaned the wounds, applied healing medicine, and then wrapped them with gauze that had been soaked in boiling water for a long time.

"Sure, you must take good care of these twenty wounded, and handle everything according to the steps I gave you before. Send me a message every day, and remember not to miss any details. Understand?"

The consul doctor at the military station who had been beaten up repeatedly nodded yes. Although he didn't know the inside story, he guessed what Chen Zifang was trying, and he didn't dare to neglect it.

So Chen Zifang and Shen Hao stayed at this first military station for three days and then set off again. The next stop was the military station where the accident occurred not long ago: Yushi.

It was already three days later when we arrived at Yushi. The whole group was shocked by the appearance of the Yushi military station. Compared with the previous military depot, the Yushi military depot looked much miserable.

Although the tall wall has been repaired, it can be clearly seen that it has been damaged, and the burnt mark on the wall is still clearly visible. The large tomb at the entrance is still new, and a large stone tablet next to it clearly writes what the people who have been sleeping here have experienced. It also tells the latecomers that the place of life and death is under their feet.

Similar to the situation at the military station in front, the people here also lacked water, and they also didn't believe the statement about drinking boiled water from the general manager's yamen.

Chen Zifang was not polite either, he didn't care if the people here were heroes who lived the rest of their lives after the war, or meritorious soldiers, if they were wrong, they were wrong, and if they were wrong, they should admit punishment. Go up with a stick, then perform drinking boiling water in public, and teach everyone to boil water at the same time. Only after the last set of procedures can these people's minds about drinking boiled water be settled.

In addition, good news came from the 20 seriously wounded men Chen Zifang picked out from the previous military depot. Only two of them died quickly after developing a fever. The remaining 18 people are currently in good condition, and half of them have regained some consciousness and are no longer unconscious.

What does this mean? It shows that the "long-time soaking" method proposed by Shen Hao to treat the gauze wrapped in the wound really helps to reduce the possibility of pus filling the trauma. At the same time, it also supports the explanation of the boiling water theory in terms of wounds. Indeed, there are some invisible "poisons" that can invade the body through "mouths", "wounds" and so on, causing physical discomfort or disease. Boiling with water can kill these "poisons"!

This is definitely a huge find! Even Chen Zifang seems to have determined that his name will appear immortally in medical or history books that will last forever

So every time Chen Zifang looked at Shen Hao, the latter felt frightened and clenched his fists.

After that, Shen Hao kept silent again. No matter how tired Chen Zifang was bombarded, he just kept silent. It was another three days of chattering like this. Shen Hao and Chen Zifang left half of the cavalry and continued eastward. And there is no military station in front, only the first-line military stronghold.

"There are three first-line military strongholds in Jianchuan. The upper, middle, and lower. The upper is 30,000 people stationed, the middle is 20,000, and the lower is 30,000. The middle is the center, and it is also where we are going to report first. The main general on the Jianchuan side, General Shen It's in the central military camp."

While riding beside Shen Hao, Chen Zifang told Shen Hao about the upcoming itinerary. He knew that Shen Hao had just joined the army and didn't know much about the people or the rules, so he said it first every time.

"Not far away?"

"It's not far away. At our speed, we'll be able to reach the Central Military Village in the evening."
