424 Contaminated with Sea Poison
Ping An opened the car door and walked out with his master, Chen Xuan and Fu An.
"Uncle, the sea breeze here is really strong. I admire you for being able to persist in this environment for ten years."
Wang Tao smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. I was not used to it when I first came here when I was thirteen years old. Now I feel good. Although the wind is strong, it's not too cold. Please come in, young master."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of the room. Ping An estimated that he was over 1.85 meters tall, taller than Wang Wei and Wang Tao. In this era where the average height was less than 1.7 meters, he stood out from the crowd.
He is no more than fifty years old, but he has a truly majestic bearing and an indescribable tough guy demeanor. He is handsome, really handsome.
"Father, the eldest son is here."
He is indeed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
"My dear, I haven't seen you for several years."
"My Lord is still as elegant as ever."
"Hahaha, I'm old. I'm about the same age as your father. You should be two years older than Wang Wei."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Sicheng is thirty-five this year, and the prince is thirty-three, so he is indeed two years older."
Ping An and Chen Xuan hurried forward and saluted.
"These young masters are..."
Wang Tao smiled and said, "This is Ping An. I mentioned him to you. He is the benefactor of my Wang family and has a close relationship with my Wang family. He has saved Chu Feng twice. My sister-in-law and nephew are also lucky to have him. Last time I went back, he led people to rescue Ah Xing and me. Ping An, you saved me by the way that time.
These two are Ping An's friends. Chen Xuan's family has the best jadeite. Fu An's mother is the aunt of the Ying family, and his father is an official of the Ministry of Rites. They all came here with the eldest son and his family this time."
"Okay, Ping An, Chen Xuan, Fu An, have fun for a few days now that you are here. The eldest and the younger masters are welcome."
Ping An walked beside the Marquis, and he looked like a dwarf in comparison.
He was fifteen years old and 1.75 meters tall, almost as tall as his master. Chen Xuan was a little shorter than him, about 1.72 meters tall, but next to the Marquis, he was instantly outshined.
Three years later, I should be this tall, right?
Ping An noticed that the Marquis' left foot was bouncing when he walked, and it must be very painful, otherwise such a tough guy would not be in such a state in front of the guests.
Ah Xing took Ming Wanli and the others downstairs to settle down. Although they were going downstairs, they were also in the guest house on the side of the front yard. The general's mansion was very large, covering an area of more than ten acres.
After a cup of tea.
Sun Sicheng asked, "Lord, can you show us your left leg?"
"Of course, I'll trouble you."
The Marquis untied the bandage, revealing the wound underneath.
Sun Sicheng and Ping An both frowned. The wound was more than an inch long. The skin and flesh had been sutured, but the wound was a little black and obviously rotten and filled with pus.
“There was an old military doctor who was very good at treating injuries. He suddenly passed away last year. He died in his sleep. The military doctor Hu who is treating me now is his disciple and is also quite good.
I have done all the disinfection and applied the best medicine, but for some reason it just won't heal. He was planning to dig out the rotten flesh for me in the next two days, but since you are here, please help me."
"My Lord, did you get this injury accidentally at the beach? Was it from a shell or something like that?"
The Marquis laughed and said, "Ping An, you really guessed it. He was scratched by a shell when he went into the sea. Shouldn't it be a cut?"
Sun Sicheng said: "My Lord, the shells in the sea may have been contaminated with some viruses in the sea, and scratched your leg, just by chance, the poison entered your body. Ordinary disinfection is completely ineffective. The wound medicine cannot work until the sea poison is cleared.
This afternoon, Ping An and I will help you remove the rotten flesh, clean the wound carefully, and then help you remove the poison. You will feel better in two or three days."
The Marquis heaved a sigh of relief: "It was just a minor scratch, but I didn't expect it to be poisonous. Last year, a soldier in my barracks was scratched by a piece of broken iron and ended up having his leg amputated. He was only in his twenties, so I had to give him some silver and send him back home."
tetanus.
Ping An knew that the doctors at that time did not take this matter very seriously.
Wang Tao came over and said, "Father, lunch is ready. Let's go and eat. The eldest son and his friends are already hungry."
The loyal and brave Marquis stood up and said, "Sicheng, let's go eat first, and then we can do things after dinner."
Wang Tao said, "Let's go to the small canteen. Ping An, your people have already eaten in the big canteen and have settled in their accommodation."
"Thank you, uncle."
As expected, it’s by the sea, there are a lot of seafood on the table, all served in large bowls.
Sun Sicheng said, "My Lord, you should abstain from eating seafood recently. Seafood is a food that can cause allergies. You won't be able to enjoy these delicacies for the time being."
The loyal and brave Marquis smiled bitterly, "How can I dare to touch these during this period? Aren't you here? Wang Tao asked someone to prepare these temporarily. Eat them. There is plenty of them at the beach. The temperature here is not low in winter, and it is rare to snow. You can also find some seafood, but it is much less than in other seasons. Let Tao take you to the beach the next day."
At the beginning of the afternoon, Sun Sicheng inserted a silver needle into the marquis' injured leg and gave him a local anesthesia.
Ping An took the scalpel that had been sterilized by Qingshi.
"My Lord, it will be quick. Once the rotten flesh is scraped off and good medicine is applied, it won't hurt much."
The loyal and brave Marquis smiled and nodded: "Come on, this little pain is nothing."
Ping An stopped talking and started moving quickly with the scalpel. The wound was not small, and the military doctors here were really bad. In this case, it goes without saying that the rotten flesh would have to be removed. What would happen if it took too long?
The wound was deeper than he had imagined, and even Sun Sicheng beside him frowned.
Ping'an finally handed the scalpel to Qingshi who was standing beside him, and he disinfected, applied medicine, and bandaged the Marquis.
"My Lord, you need to find a military doctor with excellent medical skills. Don't underestimate such injuries. If they are serious, they can be fatal."
Wang Tao said, "The old military doctor was very good, but unfortunately he died overnight. The other military doctors are not as good, but my father's injury was fine a few days ago, but it suddenly worsened in the past few days."
The Loyal and Brave Marquis sighed, "Who would be willing to come to these places if they have good medical skills? The conditions here may be a little better than those in the north and southwest, but every border area is like this. Let's not talk about these. I have been here for fifteen years. General Xu took over in the spring. I also returned to the capital with Tao'er. The imperial edict has arrived."
"Then congratulations, my Lord. The family will be reunited soon."
The Loyal and Brave Marquis laughed and said, "Yes, there is nothing better than having a family together. This is the only thing we can hope for when we grow old."
Ping An tied the bandage and said, "My Lord, I will change your bandage at this time tomorrow. It will be a little painful for a while, but it will be much better in two or three days."
Wang Tao said, "My dear, I am safe. I hope you can stay for a few more days despite your busy schedule. I am really worried about my father's injury."
Sun Sicheng nodded. "Didn't we agree to see the soldiers with joint pain? You should find some more serious ones first. Ping An and I still have to discuss the prescription. We can't delay. After all, we can't stay here for too long. We have many scheduled patients in Mincheng."
