Chapter 13: Lu Erbai's Leg
Lu Erbai couldn't help but look at San Ya. Even if the little girl had self-control, she was still young and had not eaten good food before. Lu Erbai immediately said, "San Ya, the adults are discussing things, you go outside and see if your brother has come back."
"Okay." The little girl obediently nodded, but she took a few steps and turned back to look at Shu Yu before running away.
Shu Yu noticed something strange. Lu Erbai seemed to have not told his family the reason for his injured leg. Otherwise, with the old lady's temperament, she would not have been so calm about it.
However, he didn't say anything, and Shu Yu felt more and more uneasy.
She couldn't help but look at his left leg and asked, "How's Lu Uncle's leg? I heard you guys talking earlier, it seems like he fell again. Did he see a doctor?"
"The village doctor happened to be away, but I think there's no big deal. It'll be fine after a couple of days of rest," Lu Erbai said hurriedly. Although he said so, his expression didn't match his words.
In fact, he had looked restrained since they were in the courtyard earlier.
Shu Yu naturally noticed this, "Otherwise, let me take a look at Uncle Lu's leg."
Before Lu Erbai could speak, the old lady asked in surprise, "Does Miss Shu know medicine?"
"A little bit." In fact, she knew more about nursing knowledge. In her previous life, the reason why the top boss retreated was that he had some health problems. As his confidante, Shu Yu needed to understand and learn about this aspect for emergencies.
But the old lady saw Shu Yu's calm demeanor and felt that she was very capable. She quickly got up and made way, "Then please help me take a look at my second son's leg. It was smashed by a stone a year ago, and it was fixed at that time, but it was not healed properly and was broken again. As you can see, the situation in our family is not good, we can only rely on the village doctor to help us reconnect it, but it hasn't healed for such a long time."
Lu Erbai blushed and felt very embarrassed, and he shrunk back, "Mom, this is not appropriate. Miss Shu is a young lady, and she is also a noble lady. How can she see the leg of such a rough person like me?"
"Lu Erbai saved my life, so I'll take a look. It won't hurt. Besides, I'm not really a noble lady. For now, you can treat me as a female physician," Shu Yu said, already squatting down.
Lu Erbai hesitated, but Shu Yu had already grabbed his leg.
He immediately dared not move, and Shu Yu felt around a little before frowning, "Your bone is misaligned and hasn't been fixed."
"What?" The old lady quickly asked, "What should we do?"
Lu Erbai still wanted to refuse, but Shu Yu had already taken action.
"Knock it off and reconnect."
The three members of the Lu family stared in shock and took a deep breath, "Knock it off?!"
Shu Yu looked up at Lu Erbo with a serious expression, "If we don't reconnect it, it will only get worse in the future. Especially since you fell today and there is water accumulation in your legs, if it's not treated, it's highly likely that your blood vessels will be blocked, and your leg will become completely useless."
The Lu family was scared and their faces turned pale, "How could it be so serious? The doctor in our village said it was just a bruise and that a few more patches would make it better."
Well that's some backwater hillbilly "doctor" for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat time period is this set in though ? I'm still trying to figure it out, no cars so it is ancientish times?
No matter the time period, a peasant ignoring a leg injury seems stupid since they wouldn't be able to farm if any of their limbs were damaged. The heck is "it will get better"? Honestly I wouldn't recognise this debt because I don't like the family, she already paid.
