Volume 1, Wars and Chaos, Section 47, Distilled Alcohol
After Li Shizhen heard what Luo Yu said, she looked away, stretched out her hand to feel Zhang Yuan's pulse, and after a while nodded and said: "It's not serious, no need to bleed, little lady, please help me take good care of her."
Jin E nodded hurriedly, came to Zhang Yuan, and wiped the sweat from her face.
Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out the needle from his hand. Blood was still coming out of the vein. He quickly pressed the needle with linen cloth, shook his dizzy head, sat on the stool, drank two large sips of water and closed his eyes.
rest.
Don't worry about Zhang Yuan's syringe, Li Shizhen will take care of it. The only thing that is a little worried now is the little girl Jin E. From her adoring eyes, she seems to regard Luo Yu as a god.
Regardless of still feeling dizzy, he said: "Sir, do you know how many types of human blood there are?"
Li Shizhen, who helped Zhang Yuan handle the needle point, heard this question, was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "I only know that the blood of parents is soluble in water with the blood of children, but is incompatible with the blood of other unrelated people.
This is the basis for blood recognition among the people. As for the model you mentioned, I have never heard of it, and it has not been recorded in medical books."
"Okay, it's time to be a popularization teacher again. I hope that this little knowledge of mine can inspire you, old man, to save more lives." Luo Yu thought in his heart, but said: "I have a book at home.
According to records, human blood can be divided into four common categories: 'A, B, C, and D'."
At this point, he paused for a moment to let Li Shizhen, who was sitting aside, record it. Seeing that he had finished writing, he said, "Sir, why don't you let the junior write it down and then give it to you for reference?"
Li Shizhen said: "Just tell me, I will remember it more clearly if I write it once!"
Luo Yu was no longer reluctant and continued: "Type A blood corresponds to the transfusion of type A blood, type B blood corresponds to the transfusion of type B blood, and type C blood is special. It can only transfuse type C blood, but it can be exported to the other three common types.
Blood type. The same applies to type D blood. Only type D blood can be transfused."
After Li Shizhen remembered it, she said: "How do you distinguish these four blood types?"
Luo Yu smiled bitterly and said: "To tell you the truth, I don't have the tools to tell the difference now. I only know that I have type C blood. So as long as Zhang Yuan does not have a rare special blood type, I can give her a blood transfusion."
Li Shizhen nodded and said: "I see, what are the special blood types you just mentioned?"
Luo Yu said: "It is relatively rare. There are hardly one or two in a million people. If they are injured and bleed too much and cannot find the same blood type, they will have to wait to die."
Li Shizhen wrote it down in the notebook again, thought for a while and said, "How do you know how much blood a person has lost to be considered excessive blood loss?"
This old master has almost wiped out what little stock Luo Yu has, and he still won't give up. Oh, forget it, let's just make some contribution to Chinese medicine, tell them all and let their doctors study it.
After pondering for a while, he said: "The blood volume of an adult is about five bowls, which is the big bowl we use to serve food. When the blood loss reaches more than one bowl and less than three bowls, it is considered excessive blood loss. If treated in time, there is a chance that
Survive.”
Li Shizhen asked: "If you take more than three bowls, it will be hopeless?"
Luo Yu smiled bitterly and said: "It's true. It's hard to save a fairy. I saw that she could still breathe, so I didn't hesitate to take the risk and give her a blood transfusion."
Li Shizhen thought of another important question: "Human blood is rationed. How can the lost blood be replenished?"
Luo Yu smiled and said: "The human body is amazing. Our spine has a hematopoietic function. The lost blood will be slowly created to maintain the daily needs of the human body."
Li Shizhen asked again: "So, can people with amputated limbs also be blood transfusion recipients?"
Luo Yu said: "As long as there is an appropriate amount, anyone can become a blood transfusion recipient. However, there are hidden dangers. Some diseases will be hidden in the blood and passed to the recipient. Therefore, it is not a last resort. When it is impossible to verify whether the blood transfusion recipient has any disease, the younger generation cannot
This method is recommended."
Li Shizhen wanted to ask again, but Zhang Yuan had woken up. Jin E heard their conversation and understood the reason. Although it was not as beautiful as imagined, she still admired Luo Yu's profound knowledge.
Seeing Zhang Yuan wake up, she hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Li, she's awake!"
Li Shizhen didn't bother to ask any more questions, put down her pen, walked over, observed for a while, and said, "Okay, Madam, help her change into clean clothes, and change the bed board too!" After that, she pulled Luo Yu out.
.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, a general wearing black armor walked quickly outside. Luo Yu saw the person and said happily: "Uncle Niu, long time no see!"
As he spoke, he went to greet him. Before he could salute, Niu Jinda laughed and said, "You kid, long time no see!"
Changsun Wuji also came over quickly, saluted Niu Jinda and said, "I've met Uncle Niu!"
Niu Jinda waved his hand and handed him a letter and said: "Boy Wuji, your wife asked me to bring you a letter. You can read it first and have two drinks together in the evening."
Changsun Wuji took the letter with a smile, said, "Thank you, Uncle Niu!" and stepped aside to open the letter.
Luo Yu introduced Li Shizhen to Niu Jinda, and the two chatted for a while before Li Shizhen was called to change the dressing. The two cherished each other, which made Luo Yu laugh.
Niu Jinda patted Luo Yu on the head and laughed and scolded: "I have admired this folk miracle doctor for a long time. Why don't you chat with him more? Don't you want me to help you anymore?"
Luo Yu begged for mercy and said: "Uncle Niu, my nephew doesn't dare. You have been working hard all the way, please come in and have a cup of tea. I just want to ask you something!"
Niu Jinda said: "That's pretty much it. Lead the way!"
The two of them came to the captain's house while talking. Luo Yu made tea and brought it to Niu Jinda and said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, why did Tang Gong call Xiuning back to Taiyuan?"
Niu Jinda took a sip of tea and said angrily: "Are you really stupid? Of course Xiuning returned to Taiyuan because of you!"
Luo Yu said in astonishment: "My nephew really doesn't know the reason. Please ask Uncle Niu to explain it!"
Niu Jinda hated the iron and said: "You kid, how come you don't know anything about the ways of the world? Duke Tang called Xiuning back because he wanted you to go to Taiyuan to propose marriage. Have you ever seen an unmarried couple go back to her parents' home together?"
Only then did Luo Yu understand why the three girls didn't tell him. Li Xiuning's shy look after reading the letter should have guessed that this was the matter, so he was stupid enough to ask them.
It really deserves a beating. No wonder Gongsun Xiaomei said those words, but it seems that this cannot be blamed on Luo Yu. He didn't know the customs of this era, so he didn't dare to reply after being scolded by Niu Jinda.
After Niu Jinda cursed twice, he said with sincerity: "The Li family has been a noble family for generations, and Xiu Ning is a heroine. Of course I would be happy to see you two fall in love and get married. In these troubled times, people's lives are like grass.
Ning is a general and there is no guarantee that she will fight on the battlefield in the future. Have you made preparations to spend the rest of your life with her hand in hand?"
Luo Yu was in a daze. To be honest, before coming to this time and space, he never thought that he would experience such a cruel thing. In the past few days with Li Xiuning, he had escaped from death several times, and his good luck would eventually run out.
If the war continues, if Li Xiuning or himself sacrifices one day, the person left behind will definitely be in pain, just like Chai Shao in his original time and space, depressed all day long, and finally breathed his last in longing, and he will be only five years old.
ten.
At this moment, Niu Jinda asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He just murmured: "Uncle Niu, is it possible that we will not go to the battlefield after we get married?"
Just as Niu Jinda was about to answer, Li Shimin, who was attacking the Mongolian military camp at night, hurried in. Without even greeting Niu Jinda, he took Luo Yu and walked out, saying urgently: "Yu Dong was seriously injured in the bombing in order to save me. Please follow me quickly."
I gonna go see!"
When Luo Yu heard this, he stopped asking and hurriedly followed Li Shimin towards the side room. As soon as he entered the door, Li Shizhen arrived with a medicine box on his back.
Yu Dong's back was covered with traces of gunpowder burns, red and white, which were shocking at first sight. Li Shizhen had never seen such injuries, so she had to use silver needles to protect Yu Dong's heart veins, and then proceed to debridement.
Luo Yu didn't know what to do for a while. There was no alcohol and there was no way to disinfect.
Suddenly a flash occurred in his mind, yes, alcohol. Niu Jinda should have brought alcohol here. It should be no problem to extract the alcohol. Thinking of this, he said to Li Shizhen: "Sir, please stabilize his pulse first, and I will go find him."
Bring me some debridement medicine."
Without waiting for Li Shizhen's answer, he strode to Niu Jinda to ask for wine. It would take some time to refine the alcohol.
It happened that Niu Jinda also went out and wanted to come over to have a look. The two met at the door. Luo Yu saluted and said, "Uncle Niu, how much wine did you bring?"
Niu Jinda was a little confused for a moment. When he asked about it, he said: "Not much, only five jars. Why, do you want to drink?"
Luo Yu hurriedly said: "Please ask them to send all the wine here. My nephew is in urgent need." After saying that, he turned around and ordered a pine tower defender to set up a large stove in the courtyard and carry two large pots and a round bathtub.
come over.
It is easy to distill alcohol, but now I am not very handy with the tools, so I have to take a piece of bamboo as thick as an arm, split it, break off the middle bamboo joints, and then soak it in boiling water to sterilize.
With a large number of people, things are easy to do. While Luo Yu was finishing the bamboo work, the defenders of the Songta Tower had already sent over all the necessary supplies.
Luo Yu couldn't leave other things to others. When he had the time to tell others, he did it himself.
An inclined opening was opened in the middle of the round bathtub according to the width of the bamboo. First, the bamboo was fixed, and second, the distilled alcohol could flow along the bamboo into the container connected to the bamboo.
The bottom of the bathtub needs to be removed. When you are busy with this, ask the sergeant to bring cold water and pour all the wine into the large pot below.
Then pour the bath bucket with boiling water twice, place it on the iron pot filled with wine, fix the bamboo, and call two sergeants to lift another large iron pot that has been cleaned and put it on top of the bath bucket.
Add half a pot of cold water.
Everything was ready, and a raging fire was lit below. Luo Yu found another large bowl and went to the end of the bamboo to collect the alcohol.
Fortunately, distilled water started dripping down after a while. I couldn't use the half bowl in the front because there were too many impurities.
The wine brewed at this time was made from sorghum and wheat as raw materials. It was just fermented wine and did not have a high alcohol content. However, it was the best raw solution for distilling high-strength liquor and had a lot of starch.
The fire was so big that the surrounding area was filled with heat. Luo Yu drank the alcohol wholeheartedly. The bowl was almost full, so he called a sergeant over and asked him to bring a stool, put the bowl in place, and then collect the alcohol.
Strictly speaking, this is not pure alcohol, but highly distilled alcohol. However, it can be used as medical alcohol for disinfection, and it is perfectly fine to use it for debridement.
He handed a large bowl of alcohol to Li Shizhen and said, "This is a debridement potion. You can try it by sticking it with a cloth."
Then he turned to Yu Dong, who was unconscious and said: "It hurts a little, please bear with it!"
Yu Dong reluctantly nodded and screamed before he was ready. It turned out that Li Shizhen had already started to wipe his horrific burns with a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, and before Yu Dong screamed for the second time, he was knocked unconscious by him.
Luo Yu knew that this kind of heart-wrenching pain was not really high-purity alcohol, but if it touched the wound directly, the pain would be uncomfortable.
Luo Yu couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Yu Dong's back injury was destined to leave scars, which might affect his future life.
The special forces team suffered another heavy blow, and it seems that an organization for dealing with the aftermath really needs to be set up. Otherwise, more people will be injured and sacrificed, and their families' lives will be very troublesome.
The distillation was still going on, and the water in the pot above had become hot, so he ordered someone to add half a bucket of cold water.
Li Shimin ran out and brought two bowls of alcohol in. Luo Yu then ordered a wine jar to receive the alcohol, and when it was full, seal the jar for storage.
After all this busy work, it was already the end of the day, and it was getting dark. After collecting a jar full of alcohol, Li Shizhen finally walked out exhausted.
Luo Yu did not dare to ask, only hoping that he could tell him the good news. Yu Dong's family only had an old mother, a wife, and a child.
Seeing Li Shizhen nodding happily, Luo Yu felt relieved and came to Niu Jinda happily: "Uncle Niu, thank you for the wine!"
Niu Jinda smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. You have to pay me for a few jars of such strong wine. The aroma of the wine is so strong!"
Luo Yu then remembered that the emergence of highly distilled liquor would make many drunkards flock to it and be unable to stop.
However, Li Shizhen said inappropriately: "I want all these things. If you want to drink, you need to find another way."
Yes, one is for drinking and the other is for medical treatment. I hope they don’t quarrel!
