Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

Chapter 87 Popularization of Medical and First Aid Knowledge

To ensure the team could manage common injuries and illnesses in her absence, Ye Wan decided to use the system to teach everyone some basic medical and first aid knowledge. She understood that, in addition to food and self-defense skills, medical knowledge was equally essential for wilderness survival. By mastering basic first aid skills, the team could reduce pain and danger in the event of an accidental injury, improving their overall health and self-rescue capabilities.

On a quiet afternoon, Ye Wan gathered everyone in the center of the valley and announced the day's training. She spoke calmly but firmly, "Living in the wild, minor injuries and illnesses are inevitable. Today, I'll teach you some basic first aid, including bandaging, hemostasis, and burn treatment. Mastering these fundamental skills will allow us to quickly address minor injuries and prevent them from becoming more severe."

Everyone listened attentively, realizing the importance of this knowledge and eager to learn. Under the eager gaze of the team, Ye Wan began demonstrating the most basic bandaging techniques. She retrieved some cloth strips and bandages from the system and simulated bandaging different areas.

She held up a piece of cloth and patiently explained, "If you have a scratch or cut, first press gently on the wound with a clean cloth to help stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding stops, cover the wound with a cloth or bandage to protect it from dust and bacteria."

She demonstrated bandaging a member's arm with a bandage, explaining the appropriate tightness, reminding everyone to avoid bandaging too tight, which could impede blood circulation, and not too loose, which could cause the bandage to fall off. Everyone observed her carefully, then began bandaging themselves or their companions. Under Ye Wan's guidance, everyone gradually mastered the art of bandaging wounds safely and effectively.

Ye Wan then taught everyone how to deal with minor burns. Using a wet cloth, she demonstrated how to cool the burn and explained first aid methods in detail: "If you're accidentally burned by fire, first rinse the wound with cold water or gently apply a clean, wet cloth to the wound to quickly cool it down and reduce pain. Never apply ointments or other substances, as this can cause infection."

She demonstrated how to bandage burn victims and ensure they heal in a dry environment. Everyone listened carefully, fearing they would miss a single detail. A young member, recalling a previous burn near a stove, said with emotion, "Before, I didn't know how to treat a burn. Now I know to cool the burn down first. This is incredibly useful knowledge."

To help everyone better understand first aid, Ye Wan also taught bleeding control techniques. She explained, "If you're accidentally cut by a sharp object and bleeding profusely, gently wrap a cloth or ribbon around the wound and tie a knot to help stop the bleeding. However, be aware that this only stops the bleeding temporarily; avoid using a bandage for extended periods, as this may affect blood circulation."

She simulated an emergency hemostasis scenario, demonstrating how to quickly respond to a bleeding wound. Everyone watched carefully, then tried to practice, adjusting again and again until they mastered the technique. Ye Wan was deeply pleased to see everyone's progress. She knew that these first aid skills, though simple, could save lives in critical moments.

In addition to first aid skills, Ye Wan also used the knowledge gained from the system to teach everyone about some common medicinal herbs. She led the team to the edge of the valley and pointed out several herbs to introduce them to everyone: "This is plantain. Its leaves are broad and thick, and it can stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. If you have an infected wound or bleeding that won't stop, you can crush the plantain leaves and apply them to the wound."

Everyone diligently memorized the characteristics of plantain, some even plucked a leaf and examined it closely. She then introduced everyone to pistachio, explaining, "Pistachio is also very common, with long, slender, dense leaves. It's very effective in reducing swelling and relieving pain. For insect bites or minor muscle aches, crush the pistachio and apply it to the affected area."

She patiently explained the characteristics and uses of each herb, ensuring everyone memorized them. Everyone was curious about this information and expressed their desire to try collecting and using these herbs. Ye Wan reminded them, "When collecting herbs, be sure to identify them accurately and avoid using poisonous plants."

To reinforce everyone's learning, Ye Wan arranged a simple simulated first aid scenario to test their understanding. She divided the participants into small groups, set up different "injuries," and had each group take turns treating them. Some groups simulated stopping the bleeding, others bandaged the wound, and still others applied herbs. Through this hands-on simulation, everyone became more familiar with first aid procedures.

One member performed exceptionally well in stopping the bleeding, quickly bandaging the injured and stopping the bleeding, earning praise from everyone. He excitedly remarked, "I used to think these procedures were complicated, but I never expected them to be so useful in an emergency. I feel like I've learned real first aid skills!"

After a period of training, the team members gradually mastered basic first aid knowledge and were no longer helpless when faced with minor injuries. Ye Wan's patient guidance taught them how to protect themselves and provided an additional layer of security for the entire team. Their health improved significantly, and they no longer needed to rely on Ye Wan to handle minor injuries and illnesses alone, enhancing the team's independence.

At the evening gathering, everyone expressed their gratitude to Ye Wan. One older member said with emotion, "Miss Wan, thank you for teaching us this knowledge. Now we know how to take care of ourselves and can help each other when you are not around. You are truly our benefactor."

Ye Wan responded with a smile, "I hope everyone can be independent and self-reliant, not only for their own safety, but also for the safety of the team. Only when everyone knows how to protect themselves can our team be truly stable and long-lasting."

Ye Wan's guidance not only enhanced the team's medical response capabilities, but also made everyone feel her care and wisdom. Her leadership not only provided daily support but also taught everyone the ability to protect themselves, allowing everyone to find confidence and security within the team.

Through the popularization of first aid knowledge during this period, the team's cohesion and health have been significantly improved. Everyone's trust in Ye Wan has deepened, knowing that she is not only a leader, but also their guardian and mentor.
