Dead people should not be left in the camp for too long, as it can easily breed plague.

The military doctor checked again and again and confirmed that the person was indeed dead.

At that moment, Gouzi took the shovel and went to find a place to bury his friend without saying a word.

The dog cried very sadly.

Li Mengxi didn't quite understand the friendship between soldiers, but he felt the sadness.

You won't know without looking into it carefully.

Li Mengxi stopped by the wounded soldiers' camp and discovered that, just a few days after the siege, less than thirty of the hundred or ten wounded soldiers died.

As for those who died from infection, there should be no cases for the time being.

It’s not how good the rebels’ disinfection methods are, but the process of infection and death, which is relatively long.

At least, among the large number of wounded soldiers who died, not one of them had time to be infected and died. They died of exhaustion due to injuries to their organs, broken intestines, excessive blood loss, etc.

Li Mengxi couldn't wait any longer.

He wanted to find a pig immediately, stab it, and then see if the pig's intestines could continue to live if its intestines were broken into two pieces and sewn back together.

Li Mengxi went to Liu Bei to explain the matter.

"If you want pigs, no matter how big or small, you have to have a lot of them. Dogs are also fine."

Buying pigs, dogs, sheep, and cattle was part of the plan. The cattle can pull carts, and the pigs and sheep can be used to store meat.

But now, Li Mengxi came and directly said that he was in urgent need. Liu Bei was surprised.

When Li Mengxi said, he wanted to study surgery. That is, if someone's intestines were stabbed with a gun, it would be better to sew them up so that fewer people would die.

Liu Bei was even more surprised.

According to Liu Bei's common sense, if a person is disemboweled, he will die.

August 16th.

Because yesterday, Li Mengxi specifically said that a lot of animals such as pigs, dogs and sheep are needed.

The tourists traveled further, looking for villages and buying small animals.

By the evening of that day, I had bought a half-sized pig.

When the pigs arrived, Li Mengxi was distracted from his routine teaching work.

He asked the village heroes to continue memorizing the multiplication tables today.

After Li Mengxi made hurried arrangements, he found the pigs and the military doctor Bu, and began the first experiment of intestinal suture surgery.

There was only one pig, a black native pig, which was tied to the carriage board with a hemp rope and kept humming without moving.

Generally, if you want to restrict the movement of pigs, you only need to tie the pigs together on four ladders.

But now, we need to experiment with surgical operations, so simple binding methods will definitely not work. We have to tie them as tightly as possible.

Also, the belly of the pig must be exposed for easy disemboweling.

Bu has superb medical skills, but he has no experience at all when it comes to disemboweling someone for surgery.

Similarly, Li Mengxi also has zero experience.

According to the surgical procedure formulated that day, it is roughly as follows - first, a razor is needed. If a wounded soldier has a head injury, the hair must be shaved first to facilitate the suture of the wound. In the same way, pigs have heavy body hair, so this must be done first.

Hair treatment.

Then, there is a rigorous disinfection process.

The surgical knife must be sterilized, the catgut must be sterilized, and the operator's hands must also be sterilized.

By the way, the gut isn’t there yet.

Li Mengxi remembered.

At that time, the gut made from sheep was soaked in alcohol and preserved. I don't know if it can still be used today.

Get the gut.

Li Mengxi looked serious, as did the military doctor Divination.

The two of them luxuriously washed their hands again and again with alcohol.

"Bu, come here."

Li Mengxi handed a broken blade to Bu.

This broken blade is a broken piece of Huanshou knife blade, half a palm long, ground very thin and sharp, and can be used as a razor very well.

Bu had no choice but to take the razor and get busy.

On the side, Liu Xuande was watching. He stared with wide eyes and was extremely curious about how Li Mengxi and Li Mengxi disemboweled the pig, cut off the intestines, and then sewed the intestines together, and still allowed the pig to continue to live.

Bu used a razor to trim the hair, and the bound pig groaned.

Soon, the first step is completed.

The next step is to disembowel it.

Li Mengxi handed over the scissors.

"Be careful and take your time."

Li Mengxi did not take any action himself, but ordered Bu to do this and that.

He picked up the scissors and scratched his head, "I know where this man's intestines and stomach are, but I don't know where the pig's intestines and stomach are."

(You can't scratch your head.) Li Mengxi frowned slightly, as if he couldn't scratch his head. The chief surgeon who performed the surgery on TV put on sterile gloves and didn't touch anything.

Look at your military doctor's predictions. If you have disinfected your hands and touched the pig hair again and scratched your head, won't your hands become dirty again?

Forget about the pigs, the infection is infected.

If you are a human, you will die as soon as you are infected.

During this moment of practice, Li Mengxi suddenly realized that in addition to medical equipment and surgical procedures, surgical standards also need to be considered.

Irregular surgery also affects the success rate of surgery.

Bu gritted his teeth, stared hard, grabbed the scissors and stabbed the part of the pig's belly where the hair had been shaved.

Being attacked in the abdomen, the pig began to howl and struggle, causing the car to squeak and squeak.

Bu was indifferent, took the scissors, and continued to disembowel.

Blood immediately flowed out of the pig's belly.

The pig's shrill scream attracted many people to come and watch.

Seeing that Liu Bei was there, the village heroes smiled and stood aside to watch.

If Guan Yu were in the army, Xiang Yong would definitely not dare to join him.

Guan Yu is more powerful, while Liu Bei is more easy-going.

"Is this another pig killing? Do you want our help?"

You Xiangyong offered help very wisely.

Liu Bei crossed his arms and smiled, "Let's see, wait and see!"

Just watch and don't need help.

Unexpectedly, the fat under the pig's skin was so thick. The military doctor Bu took the scissors and tried his best but could not completely cut open the pig's belly. He was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Li Mengxi realized clearly that pigs were not the best carrier for experimental intestinal suturing.

Other surgeries are easier to say. Intestinal suturing requires disembowelment, and the fat in the pig's belly is too damn thick.

We have to use dogs for experiments. In any case, experiments on dogs are much easier to operate.

At this moment, Zhang Fei was not here. Once the army marched, Zhang Fei led his scouts to run around exploring the way.

If Zhang Fei were here, he, General Zhang San, would be very skilled in killing pigs. He could guarantee that he would disembowel the pig with one strike of his knife and guarantee that the intestines would not be damaged.

Now that Zhang Fei is away, Tian Bu has to do it himself with great difficulty.

My hands were covered in blood, and the scissors were too greasy to hold.

Finally, with arduous efforts, Tian Bu cut open a palm-long opening in the pig's belly.

"Is it done?" Tian Bu raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead and asked what to do next.

After all, it was Li Mengxi who came up with the idea.

Li Mengxi looked at the incision on the pig's belly. Although the mouth had been opened, it seemed that there was still no way to suture the intestines.

Because the wounds are still crowded together.

I remembered that when people perform surgery on TV, they use clamps or something to pull the wound apart to leave room for the surgery.

If some surgical tools are used to accomplish the purpose of exposing the wound, then there is a lack of specific tools.

If it is enough to just use tweezers and pliers to open the wound, then there is a shortage of manpower now.

In addition to divination, some assistants are also needed to help divination separate the incisions so that Tian bu can sew easily.

As seen in TV dramas, the operation requires the cooperation of a group of people to complete it.

That's it, suturing cannot be done by one person.
