During the feudal period, the battles between the two armies were basically in close combat.
After a battle, the number of wounded may be several times that of those killed in direct combat.
Due to backward medical conditions, the mortality rate of the wounded was very high.
Especially in the summer, if the hygiene of the military camp is not up to standard, it is especially easy to get infected.
Once infected, whether you can survive it depends on your destiny.
Some of the wounded had their stomachs slashed and their intestines spilled out, but they managed to survive.
Some of the injured may have had only a small cut on their arm, but died of the illness.
This situation is not uncommon.
After a battle, only a few dozen people may die directly on the battlefield, but hundreds of people may die in the wounded barracks.
If the fatality rate of the wounded could be reduced by half, it would be really important to Da Kang.
That's why the Ninth Princess was so excited that she even forgot her identity and reached out to grab Zhou Jin.
"Little girl, is there really a way to make the wounded on the battlefield live half as long?"
Zhou Jin was so frightened that he stammered: "That's it...it's the surgical technique that Mr. taught me!"
"Surgical skills?" The Ninth Princess turned to look at Jin Feng: "Excuse me, sir, what are surgical skills?"
"Your Highness, let go of Jin'er first."
Jin Feng smiled and pointed at Zhou Jin's arm.
The Ninth Princess finally came to her senses and quickly let go.
Zhou Jin was so frightened that she hid behind Jin Feng and never dared to approach the Ninth Princess again.
"Jin'er, His Highness is not a man-eating tiger, so what are you afraid of?"
Jin Feng smiled and patted Zhou Jin on the head, then looked up at the sky: "Your Highness, it seems like it's going to rain. Why don't we go to the medical room to talk?"
"Listen to sir." Ninth Princess replied with a smile.
Several people walked into the medical room along the way.
Xie Guang's old house occupies a large area. When Qing Mulan lived here, many tents were set up in the yard.
Now that all the female soldiers have moved to the back mountain camp, a large area of the yard is vacant.
After Lao Tan, the barefoot man in the village, took over the medical office, he plowed the open space in the yard and divided it into two small areas. One area was planted with vegetables, and the other area was tried to grow herbs.
When Jin Feng and others entered the hospital, they saw two old men digging the ground with hoes.
It was Wei Wuya and Lao Tan.
Seeing Jin Feng come in, Wei Wuya quickly put the hoe aside: "Mr. Jin, you are finally back!"
"After coming out of Wulang Mountain, we went to the ferry to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, so we were delayed for some time and kept Mr. Wei waiting for a long time."
Jin Feng was afraid that Wei Wuya and Zhou Jin would collide with the Ninth Princess, so he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess!"
Wei Wuya has lived in the county for most of his life, and he is a person who has seen the world, so he naturally knows what a princess means.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly wiped the dirt off his body and saluted the Ninth Princess: "Old Wei Wuya, I have met His Highness!"
On the way to the medical room, Jin Feng probably told the Ninth Princess about Wei Wuya's deeds.
The Ninth Princess had a very good impression of Wei Wuya, and raised her hand with a smile: "Mr. Wei, there is no need to be polite. On the way here, Mr. Jin told me that the old man ignored his personal safety, treated people with malaria, and controlled the disaster in time. I am very
admiration.
If it weren't for your great benevolence and righteousness, malaria would have been rampant even if it was not possible. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people."
Wei Wuya was a traditional Chinese thinker. He was praised by members of the royal family, and he saluted excitedly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am just doing my duty."
After learning that Jin Feng had spoken kind words for him in front of the princess, Wei Wuya reciprocated the favor: "In fact, we were able to control malaria only because of my husband's advice and his generosity in donating many materials."
"Sir, do you know how to treat malaria?" Princess Ninth turned to look at Jin Feng.
Malaria has always been a stubborn disease and is very contagious. The Ninth Princess will encounter memorials about malaria every year.
The scene depicted above makes the Ninth Princess feel terrible just thinking about it.
If malaria can be solved, it will be of great significance.
"I have heard some knowledge about malaria before. I only know how to prevent and treat it. For the patients who have already been infected, there is currently no good way." Jin Feng replied.
"Knowing how to prevent and treat malaria can help you control malaria as much as possible before it starts to spread."
Mr. Wei said: "If it hadn't been for Mr.'s advice this time, I might not have been able to do anything."
"In the past, I only knew that your husband had profound attainments in craftsmanship, poetry, and military leadership. I didn't expect that your husband would also make great achievements in medical skills."
Ninth Princess smiled and asked: "Sir, is there anything else you don't know?"
"Yes, compared with Mr. Jin, the old man has lived like a dog at his age."
Wei Wuya nodded in agreement.
"Sir, from whom did you learn all your skills?" Ninth Princess asked curiously.
"I was very playful when I was a kid. I often skipped school and went to the mountains. I met an old gentleman with a fairy-like manner in the mountains. The old gentleman told me many things."
Jin Feng casually made up an expert and responded: "It's a pity that I am young and ignorant. I only learned a little bit of the old gentleman's skills. I don't know where the old gentleman has wandered."
In the feudal period, superstition was the best excuse.
Wei Wuya firmly believed in Jin Feng's words.
Although the Ninth Princess had some doubts, she didn't bother to ask too many questions, so she acquiesced to this statement.
"Mr. Jin, did the old gentleman teach you surgical skills?" Wei Wuya asked.
"Yes," Jin Feng replied: "The old gentleman told me that in corrupt and dark places, many small bugs that are invisible to the human eye will breed. Some of these bugs like to drink blood, and some like to bite people and people.
The internal organs of animals.
Normally, our skin and flesh are blocking the way, and bugs are helpless. But once the body is injured, bugs can enter the body through the wound and cause damage.
Malaria is actually caused by these little bugs, but they are too small and we can’t see them.”
"It makes sense. If you live in a dark place for a long time, you will inevitably get sick."
Wei Wuya nodded in agreement.
"But since this little bug is invisible to human eyes, how did the old gentleman know about it?"
The Ninth Princess questioned.
"The old gentleman said that he once saw a mirror, called a microscope. When you look at things through this mirror, the things will become bigger. When they become big enough, you can see this little bug."
"There is such a treasure in the world?" Wei Wuya was amazed.
"If the treasure is really as powerful as Mr. said, wouldn't one tael of silver turn into several taels if you look at it with a treasure mirror?"
The Ninth Princess is much more rigorous and still skeptical.
"This kind of mirror only makes things look bigger and clearer, but it doesn't really make things bigger." Jin Feng explained.
"So that's it." Ninth Princess suddenly realized.
"That's pretty awesome." Wei Wuya didn't care too much. He pulled Jin Feng's sleeve and said, "Mr. Jin, if you get this treasure in the future, you must ask me to come and see it."
When Jin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
