Chapter 145 A Drop of Blood
Two quarters of an hour, almost thirty minutes, and in this short period of thirty minutes, Zhou Xu received bad news one after another. Those seriously injured tribe members successively Died...
He had actually been mentally prepared for this outcome.
Although he had already established a medical department first, the medical level in this era was undoubtedly too poor, and the tribe members were really seriously injured.
Among those seriously injured patients, the fractures could only be considered minor injuries. Some had their hands and feet torn off, and some even had their bellies torn open by the hyena’s claws, and their intestines were hanging on outside.
Although it is the medical department, where have they encountered such a situation before?
Looking at the seriously injured patients, they were all stunned.
In the past, if this situation happened in the tribe, they would simply wait for death, or simply give the other party a happy life.
Let them save now? How can they save this? !
At that time, Zhou Xu anticipated this situation in advance and went to the medical department in advance.
Intestines hanging outside? Put it back! Broken? Find a good location and secure it with wooden boards! No arms or legs? Bandage it first to stop the bleeding!
At that time, he had really pushed his modern-knowledgeable brain to its limit and provided countermeasures for various situations.
But after all, he is not a medical student, or to put it more bluntly, even if he is a medical student, he is probably unable to do anything under such medical conditions.
According to their current medical level, being able to treat the wounds of those with minor injuries and prevent them from dying from wound infection is already a huge improvement.
In total, there were ten seriously injured patients. At this moment, eight were dead and only two were left, who were still unconscious.
According to the report, these two were soldiers he trained, and their injuries were fractures. Among the eighteen seriously injured patients, they were considered to be good, and they were the two with the highest probability of survival.
Suppress the emotions in your heart and let your mind return to normal operation.
[Sixteen...]
This is the number of tribe members he lost this time. This number has exceeded half of the original population of the grassland camp. It is definitely not a small number.
After this, his grassland camp will definitely continue to be maintained. It is also troublesome to transfer such a group of people from other camps to make up for the population loss in the grassland camp.
After all, at this time, Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Camp do not have sufficient manpower.
After that, he had to face another problem, which was the loss of troops.
Fifteen soldiers under his command were all injured this time. Four were seriously injured. Two have died and the remaining two have fractures. In this era, if you want to fully recover, basically It's impossible.
In other words, even if those two people survived, they might not be able to continue serving in the army. This also reduced the number of soldiers under his command to only eleven.
This situation is undoubtedly enough to give him a headache.
Just when he was feeling depressed, Li Ce ran over quickly.
"Chief, the cremation is ready, and the time is almost up."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded, then cheered up and followed Li Ce towards the camp. Go outside.
At this moment, all the tribe members who can reach the camp here have gathered there.
When they saw Zhou Xu coming, everyone’s eyes fell on his head.
After adjusting his mood, Zhou Xu stepped in front of everyone and swept his eyes across everyone's faces. From their expressions, he could feel that everyone's mood was very low, and even the air became depressed.
"Today! We lost sixteen brothers!"
Taking a deep breath secretly, Zhou Xu's voice, full of anger but full of grief, attracted everyone's attention. "They sacrificed to protect our tribe and our homeland!"
"They will not sacrifice in vain. They use their lives for our tribe and our living people." , laid the foundation on this grassland and became the cornerstone of our tribe’s future development! And their spirit will always live in our hearts!”
After a simple speech, Zhou Xu took the torch from Li Ce and lit it himself.
The igniters have been arranged underneath, causing the fire to quickly ignite, sending them off on their last journey with this raging fire.
After the bodies were burned to ashes, Zhou Xu motioned to everyone to collect the ashes, put them into clay pots, and then bury them in an open space outside the camp.
After that, I found a suitable piece of wood and carved the names of the sixteen tribe members on one side. On the other side, it was written that they bravely protected the camp during the battle with the hyenas. sacrifice!
Back at the camp, everyone alive still has things to do, and there is no time to immerse in sorrow.
That simple funeral allowed them to vent their emotions to a certain extent. Now, everyone is cheering up and immersed in the work in front of them.
While it was still dark, several experts from the tribe were sweating profusely while handling the corpse of the beast.
Zhou Chongshan had already completed half of the disemboweling work for them in order to rescue the cubs from the belly of the ferocious beast, and they did the rest of the work quite neatly.
Zhou Xu sat beside and watched the whole process.
During this period, the cub in my arms must have been full of sleep and began to struggle again.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu simply put it on the ground.
At this time, the four legs of the cub were still very slender. After Zhou Xu put it down, its crawling movements on the ground were a bit trembling.
The limbs that looked so thin could not support his body at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu simply let it crawl, treating it as a physical exercise. Anyway, judging from the condition of the little guy, he couldn't crawl very far.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the corpse of the beast again.
At this moment, several experts were taking out the entrails of the beast.
In the past, the internal organs of those small animals could be ripped out in one go without any effort at all.
But this beast was different. It was too big and its internal organs were all stuck together, so they had to borrow a crescent halberd to cut off the internal organs.
When the heart was cut, I didn’t know if the crescent halberd was too big to operate with one hand, so it cut the heart in half.
This itself doesn't really matter, they just threw their hearts aside.
But what people didn't expect was that from the heart that was cut in half, a drop of blood like ruby overflowed from it and slowly flowed down the fracture.
It was completely visible to the naked eye. The texture of the blood was completely different from ordinary blood. It was even different from the blood that this giant beast had shed before.
Zhou Xu's sharp eyes caught this drop of blood at once, and his first reaction was to rush forward to catch it.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a trembling little guy who could not even walk appeared in his field of vision, and then took a sip and swallowed the drop of blood. in the mouth.
“WTF?!”
