Chapter 21 21. Snakebite

Among many creatures in the cat's ear hole, poisonous snakes are the most sinister neighbors.In particular, the terrain is lower than ordinary caves, and there are fewer pythons (the Laoshan war zone has a three-dimensional climate, with cool high places and hot low places), and poisonous snakes are more rampant. Xiang Xiaoping, a cold gunner known as the "No. 1 Killer in Laoshan", came to post No. 205, and the post chief decided to hold a cave banquet for him.He shot cold bullets at Xiaoping without fail, and gained a great reputation in the war zone.Wherever his shooting position is shifted, the results of the battle will follow.Vegetables are old-fashioned, canned.He took out half a bottle of brandy from the crevice of the stone, the whistle chief hesitated, what should I do if I finish drinking the anti-snake wine?In a blink of an eye, he became ruthless and drank first before talking.The wine is poured in a simple container.It is the glory of our post that Lao Xiang came to the cold cave, there is nothing to entertain, come, my brothers are happy, be the first to kill.Come on, good things come in pairs, brothers, let's do it.After the banquet, the wine was hot, and Xiang Xiaoping went out to survey the shooting position. The whistle chief grabbed the empty wine bottle and was worried.

He asked, "What if the snake comes out?" The soldiers said, "It's okay, there are five of us." It's easy to say, once the poisonous snake comes out, there are black, pink, and green flowers, and there are two red heads and black in the middle, and they don't want to kill, who the hell can do it? The python is easy to handle, just feed it enough, and there is no fundamental conflict of interest with other people.Poisonous snakes are not good, if you can afford to feed them, you can’t keep them, you have to invite them out of the cave, don’t just think it’s delicious and delicious to stay here.First of all, prevent poisonous snakes from entering the hole.Some of the realgar issued by the superiors will be distributed at various imports and exports.Sprinkle some shredded tobacco on the key high-defense areas.The place where the poisonous snake crawled was pulled with a stick to prevent it from returning with its own smell.etc.Despite these measures, venomous snakes can still penetrate, and cracks large and small will make you hard to guard against.Once inside, the old method is to blow smoke at the snake. Several people smoke together and spray together. The thicker the better, the faces are not too close.Later, the smoke was not very effective, and it was changed to spraying wine, which was okay.The soldiers said that sooner or later, the snake would become addicted to alcohol and would have to change its tactics.However, the cave is very dark, and often poisonous snakes crawl in and cannot be found. People are lying naked, and poisonous snakes climb up.Poisonous snakes generally do not bite people actively, but in your sleep, something cold swishes up your belly, do you want to react?Therefore, snakebites during sleep are mostly on the right hand.

At the beginning of this chapter, it was mentioned that the soldier who was bitten three times by a coral snake while hanging a mosquito net was called Tan Minglu.Xiaoqin was a soldier in the third class of the third aircraft company. The incident happened at 3:30 pm on September 18, 1987.He said: "I bit the left tiger's mouth first, and thought it was pricked by something, like a hook and a sharp wire. I pulled it up with my right hand, and two more bites were connected with the index finger of my right hand. The snake bit tightly and hung on the finger. At this time, I knew there was something The thing bit me, I didn’t care to guess what it was, so I shook it away. When I yelled, the recruits ran over, killed the snake, and chopped off its head. I told you in class before entering the cave. , otherwise I don’t know what kind of snake it is, so it’s hard to handle. Two years ago, my hand hurt, and I kept going up, swollen, and dizzy. I knew the hygienist came, and I was confused afterwards. It’s night when I woke up, doctor , Female soldiers, busy around, measuring and measuring, panicked, unable to move, lost oxygen for 7 days, and were discharged from the hospital in 45 days, and they are still weak now.” Wang Zhiyong, the health worker, said: “I ran to see their sentry post. Ring snake, blood poison. Tie both arms with tourniquets, incision and drainage with a knife, drain snake venom, send to regiment health team in 15 minutes, give trypsin, procaine seal, transfer to hospital, take snake The medicine, antibiotics, saved me, and it took several days before I got out of bed, the corona snake is like a belt, one section is black, the other section is white, it is quite big, very scary."

The seepage from the roof played beautiful music for a long time before it dripped to the top of a can.Hu Guang, the whistle chief, will carefully pick up the can, put it into the mouth of the plastic bucket, and slowly pour it in.There is not much water at the bottom of the bucket, a little is a little.He didn't expect that a snake slipped into the bucket to steal water to drink; he didn't even expect that the snake that drank enough water and took a bath would repay its kindness with revenge.He immediately pinched his arm with his left hand, which was swollen at that time. Ask: "What snake?"

Answer: "I don't know, it's quite poisonous." He couldn't do it then.After being carried down, she remained unconscious, stabbed open the meat, took drugs, dug holes in the meat, and inhaled violently.The poison spread to his back, and Hu Guang would talk nonsense.Now there is still a dent in my back, and I can't straighten my fingers. In the sunny afternoon, the cat's ear hole is pitch black.Machine gunner Mu Bao was sleeping profusely with sweat, and something cold was moving his mouth on his belly.He reached out to touch it, and was bitten on his right arm.

Mu Bao jumped up: "Snake! Snake!" Kang Shunguo said, "You're talking in your sleep, don't make a fuss." Mu Bao called: "My little arm hurts!" The sentinel shouted: "There is a snake!" Everyone got up, lit the candles, and the snake had gone away.The cat's ear hole is connected to another hole. The hygienist Yang Guifang ran over. Mu Bao's right arm was black, and he put on a tourniquet. He was about to pass through the passage to make a call to report when he heard someone approaching. Let's take a look. , a big black-bodied red-spotted snake with a thick cup mouth and a one-meter-high body. A pair of eyes reflect candlelight on its small head, and ugly horizontal stripes line its wide and narrow neck.

"Cobra!" the hygienist recognized. The cobra was forced by the electric light, neither moving forward nor retreating, whistling and snorting, occupying the passage. Smoking, spraying on the cobra, sucking a fifth of it in one blowjob, spraying thickly. The snake ignored it and nodded. Think of wine, bite off the cork, grandma's,—! ——! ——! The snake collapsed, slipped out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The hygienist rushed to Chongtong, grabbed the phone and reported to the department, requesting that the military doctor be sent as soon as possible.The hygienist came here just before the war. After learning a little about first aid on the battlefield and the treatment of common diseases, he got into the cat's ear hole.Snakebite, he had never seen it before.

On the phone, the military doctor asked, "Are there any snake teeth marks?" The hygienist replied: "Two side by side, black, on the forearm." Just listen to the microphone chatter.The instructor asked the military doctor to rush to Mu Bao's cat's ear hole, but the company commander objected, saying that the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns blocked it, and that going out of the hole would mean death, and no one was allowed to leave the hole before it was dark. The direct sun at 12:30 noon makes the grass and trees outside the cave crackle. The company commander's instructor decided that the military doctor would direct the health workers over the phone to deal with the injuries.

Military doctor: "How are you doing now?" Hygienist: "The arm is swollen and the whole body is black." Military doctor: "Prick a few holes with a needle and squeeze out the black blood." The hygienist pierced it, but couldn't squeeze it out. Military doctor: "Use a knife to make a cross." After a while of fuss in the cave, I found a rusty pencil sharpener, wiped it with an alcohol cotton ball, and drew a white line on Mu Bao's shiny black forearm, and then made a sharp downward cut. , some white and some red, oozing purple blood beads, Mu Bao screamed in pain.

Military doctor: "Use scissors!" There are scissors in the first aid kit, with round heads, for cutting gauze and tape, and the cuts are so blunt, Mu Bao said "Hey -" just once, and couldn't stand it.All the people in the cave went up, holding down their hands and feet, and riding one on their waist to fix Mu Bao. The hygienist gritted his teeth and lowered the scissors. The blunt scissors creaked. Creak, creak, creak. "It was cut, there is black blood." The health worker trembled. "Is the flow fast?" The military doctor asked eagerly. "Not fast."

"Do you have a wound in your mouth?" "No." The hygienist understands.He bent down, parted the cross-shaped incision with his hands, pressed his mouth to it, and lifted his shoulder blades.Suck, spit, suck, spit,... the red blood was sucked out. Military doctor: "Wash the wound with potassium permanganate, and rinse your mouth too." After the treatment, the military doctor asked Mu Bao to take a large dose of snake medicine, and the tourniquet was loosened every half an hour to avoid ischemic necrosis of the limbs. The hygienist's mouth was so swollen that he couldn't open it for three days. All afternoon, the company commander's instructor and the military doctor were suffering on the phone, listening to the hissing and cursing of Mu Bao who was in pain from the tourniquet. Dusk finally came, the longest afternoon in the world. The shoes are torn, the clothes are torn, and there are many poisonous snakes with pierced cat ears.Wearing the stomach, lying down on the bunk, I have experienced everything.Old mountain Amitabha, Amitabha, old mountain Amitabha, Amitabha.Hey, hey hey hey, everything in the motherland is my heart, selfless dedication to the people.Walk, walk, happy, happy, wherever there is danger, I will be there, wherever there is danger, there will be me, old mountain Amitabha, Amitabha, old mountain Amitabha, Amitabha.
