Chapter 187 Still Pure
After hearing what Uncle Dafu said, Bai Tieying controlled himself and put Mu Qingqiu on the bed. He then said loudly that there was boiled water at the door, then turned and left. The next thing had to be left to Uncle Dafu.
But standing at the door of the mud house, looking at her uncle who was coaxing the lynx like a child, not to be afraid of the pain of cleaning its wound, she took two steps forward and stopped again.
Bai Tieying's mind was in a mess. Sometimes he regretted why he thought the gyrfalcon and the lynx were stronger than himself. Sometimes the scene of the lynx and the wolf fighting each other appeared in his mind... He was only a child in body, but when did he become like a child who needed to be dependent?
"Master, please take a look at this boy. Although he doesn't have a fatal injury, he has lost too much blood and now has a fever." Uncle Dafu opened the door and said to my uncle.
"It's the same with the lynx. You clean his wound first. I'll go after I finish this. Tieying, please boil some cortex phellodendri water. I'm not confident using only well water." The uncle replied.
When Bai Tieying heard that there was something to be done, he hurried to the kitchen to boil water, and then went to peel the bark of the hundreds-year-old Phellodendron chinense tree that the lynx had grown to take the Phellodendron chinense.
Looking at the rapidly rolling bubbles in the jar, she silently recited the effects of Huangbai in her mind: "clears away heat and dampness, purges fire and eliminates steaming, detoxifies and treats sores..." No, why did she have to boil water!
Bai Tieying slapped herself on the head angrily, and then quickly told her uncle that she knew a better detoxifier, but it would take some time to make.
Although Uncle Ye was busy, he also noticed Bai Tieying's condition, so he said, "Okay, go ahead. I've seen their injuries and they can all be treated. There's no rush."
Bai Tieying prepared the boiled Huangbo water for Uncle Grandpa and Uncle Dafu, and then crushed it in a ratio of 50% wheat, 30% barley, and 20% peas, then added 40% water and mixed it evenly. Under the acceleration of time and the effect of well water, it soon fermented into koji.
Then, the sorghum and wheat in half proportions are steamed, cooled to a low temperature, and then 10% of distiller's yeast is added. After the fermentation is accelerated over time, it comes to the most critical step - distillation.
Because there was no suitable wine steamer, Bai Tieying could only use the steamer used for cooking at home, sealed it with space, and distilled and condensed it again and again. Finally, the wine with the head and tail removed was mixed together and distilled in water to obtain high-proof alcohol. Finally, a little less than a quarter of distilled water was poured in to obtain medical alcohol.
The yard was filled with the aroma of wine. Uncle Dafu had gone back to the east room to sleep. Bai Tiexiong said he wanted to wait for his sister, but ended up falling asleep on the floor next to the wooden bed with his arms around the eight little ones.
It was neither too hot nor too cold here, so Uncle didn't move him. After treating the wounds of Gyrfalcon and Mu Qingqiu, Uncle prepared medicine in the yard while waiting for Bai Tieying and preventing the patients from having a fever again at night.
Bai Tieying first sent Bai Tiexiong and the others to Sanheyuan, and then told his uncle that he could use alcohol to disinfect medical equipment and the skin near the wound, and that he could also dilute it two to three times and wipe it to reduce fever.
"Disinfection? That's an interesting word."
Uncle wanted to ask just now, but seeing Bai Tieying's tense and focused look, he didn't bother her. Besides, she blamed herself for the injuries of the gyrfalcons, so it would be good for her to do something to distract herself.
After looking at the small clay pot in his hand, he poured out a little, smelled it, and tasted it. Then, the uncle asked her what this thing called "medical alcohol" that she had spent so much time to make was.
Bai Tieying knew that her uncle was sensible, so she didn't stop him from trying. She only answered when she heard her uncle ask:
"Uncle, this is what I saw in my dream. It is very effective in treating external injuries, killing pests, and resisting evil spirits.
Although I have never done it, I know the method. Fortunately, with the help of space and well water, I can be considered to have done it. I don’t know if the specific effect can reach what I saw in the dream, so I need to test it. But it’s not blindly done, I am not responsible for them, but I just say that the effect may be discounted. ”
Seeing that Uncle nodded to show that he understood, Bai Tieying continued, "The dream said that there are many bacteria and viruses in this world that are invisible to our naked eyes. Some of them can cause harm to our bodies, especially when there are exposed wounds, which will open the door for bacteria and viruses, thus aggravating our condition.
Using medical alcohol will cut the skin of bacteria and viruses just like a knife cuts our skin, killing them from the inside. So when dealing with trauma, alcohol can be seen as an auxiliary medicine that gets twice the result with half the effort. It's the same as when you use fire to roast needles, scissors, knives and other tools during acupuncture and wound treatment, which can kill germs to a certain extent.
However, because the effect of alcohol is too strong, it cannot be applied directly to the wound unless absolutely necessary. First, the severe stimulation will make the patient unbearable pain, and second, it will be detrimental to wound healing, because while killing bacteria, it will also cause damage to the human body to a certain extent.
Although there was another kind of disinfectant in the dream that could be applied directly on the wound, it was very troublesome to make and the final result was not easy to preserve. I could only make it in the future when I had the conditions and time.
As for when to apply alcohol directly to wounds, you need to prescribe the right medicine for the right situation, but it is still very effective for disinfecting medical equipment. For example, you will save a lot of effort when you need to perform acupuncture in the future, and it also avoids the spread of germs between different patients. "
Seeing Bai Tieying's high praise for the alcohol, Uncle also became interested, so he asked Bai Tieying to tell him what she saw in her dream. Although it was already late, Bai Tieying was really stimulated by what happened in the afternoon, and she didn't want to sleep, so she picked out some of the things she knew and told them.
Even so, Uncle Ye sighed greatly, it was a pity that he could not see it with his own eyes and experience it personally. He asked Bai Tieying to go to bed, but when he saw Bai Tieying shaking her head, he did not force her. He told her to pay attention to whether they had a fever at night, and then went to sleep in the east room.
"Oh, this brat didn't wash his feet again!" The uncle muttered as he opened the window and covered Dafu's feet with a quilt - just sleep like this tonight!
Through the window, one can see Bai Tieying's little head looking up at the sky, and no one knows what he is thinking. Uncle sighed in his heart: Even though this child has lived in a dream for twenty years, his life is still very pure!
As she said, her parents protected her very well, so when she came back, or when she woke up from her dream and needed her to shelter them from the wind and rain and act as her parents to support the family, she was taking on a very heavy burden for herself!
