Xiao Zhenniang hastily straightened Chen Boyuan's bones, tied his legs with two wooden boards, and fed him a pill that Jiang Cheng had brought.
He said to the tribe leader: "I am not good at setting bones. You should ask an orthopedist to take a look at him as soon as possible."
Patriarch Chen was dumbfounded.
Where can I find an orthopedic doctor right now
Doctor Li’s eldest son is good at bone setting, but where should he find him
Patriarch Chen turned his gaze to Chunniang and said, "Wife Sanlang, can your Yingbao set bones?"
He was desperate and tried every possible means to find a cure, but he didn't realize that Yingbao was just a four-year-old kid who had no idea how to set bones.
Chunniang then remembered that her little girl and Jiang Cheng had gone down the mountain for a while, so why hadn't they come up yet
"Where's Bao'er?" Chunniang hurriedly found Jiang Quan: "Why didn't Bao'er come up?"
Jiang Quan had just come into the cave carrying a sack of rice on his back and said, "She and her elder brother are downstairs guarding the mules and horses."
Chunniang wanted to go down to look for her daughter, but was stopped by Jiang Quan: "Aunt San, the torches are almost burned out, don't walk around, Yingbao will be here with her brother soon."
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Cheng came up carrying two large iron pots, followed by Ying Bao who was leading a deer, and Wen Fu who was carrying a sack.
As soon as Yingbao arrived, she went to see Chen Boyuan at the request of Clan Leader Chen, but she didn't know how to set bones, so she really didn't know what to do with such an injury.
"I learned medical skills from my master. Currently, I only know some internal medicine. I am not good at other things." Yingbao told the truth.
Patriarch Chen was dejected.
Han Miaoniang cried even louder as she stayed beside her son.
Suddenly she got up, rushed to Wen Tian and was about to hit her, "It's all because of you! My son brought you up here with good intentions, but you pushed him! Bitch!"
Lin asked her maid to protect Wen Tian tightly, and said to the angry Han Miaoniang: "My daughter didn't mean anything, why are you so angry? She is just an eight-year-old child, how could she push your son?"
Han Miaoniang was so angry that she went crazy and started to fight with Lin. "Your daughter is a disaster! If it wasn't for her, how could my son have broken his leg!"
Patriarch Chen shouted loudly: "Han! Stop making trouble!"
Everyone stepped forward to pull Han away and tried to comfort her.
But Han Miaoniang wouldn't listen at all. She cried and made a fuss, and was finally taken aside by her husband.
Wen Tian was so frightened that she trembled with fear and hid behind the maid, not daring to say a word.
Lin felt sorry for her daughter, but she had no way to vent her anger or support her in the current situation, and she felt even more annoyed with these villagers.
What a bunch of uncivilized and unruly people!
She turned her eyes to her fourth brother's wife, and saw that she, her daughter and the wet nurse had spread a blanket next to the Jiang family members, and the three of them were curled up in the blanket pretending to sleep.
Humph! It's true that everyone fled when disaster struck. They even ignored their own niece and let others bully her!
When she returns to Yuzhou, she will tell the father-in-law about this matter, so that everyone in the family will know what kind of people these four families have married!
The torches on the mountain path went out one after another, and there was only one torch left in the cave.
It just so happened that Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan, with the help of Wen Fu, had already carried up all the things from the mountain, including the bedding and iron pots that Yingbao had put out.
Chunniang pulled her daughter to her side and stayed with everyone in the Jiang family.
Jiang Jie, Jiang Wu and other children had already fallen asleep in their prepared beddings. Even old man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang Liu could not resist falling asleep due to tiredness.
Chunniang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and waited quietly in the dark for news from her husband.
As the last torch in the cave went out, the surroundings gradually became quiet, with only the faint sound of Chen Boyuan's groans being heard.
The pain of a broken bone might last for some time, and Yingbao could do nothing about it.
His consciousness sank into the cave and he carefully checked the situation inside.
There were a lot of things piled up in a mess in the cave, which also occupied a part of the vegetable garden. A cage of chickens was contented, stretching their necks out of the cage and pecking at the wheat piled outside.
Yingbao scattered a handful of green vegetables around the chicken coop, then ignored them and went to plant melons.
The seeds were the ones picked out from the melon we ate yesterday. Yingbao picked some with full grains and planted them in the black soil.
As for the cucumbers, many of them have grown and some have even turned yellow. It's a pity that we can't take them out for A Niang and the others to eat now.
After a tour, Yingbao left the cave and closed her eyes to sleep.
I don't know how long it had been, but suddenly I heard noises coming from the cave entrance.
Someone whispered, "They're back!"
The villagers guarding the cave entrance stood up excitedly and tiptoed to look down the mountain path.
There were sporadic torches coming towards this side from the foot of the mountain, but it was impossible to tell whether they were bandits or Jiang Sanlang and his men.
Patriarch Chen also woke up and quickly ordered everyone to prepare to meet the enemy.
"No matter who comes, you must not be careless." Chief Chen shouted, "Hurry up and pick up your bows and arrows. If they are bandits, just shoot them."
Everyone then woke up from their dream and hurriedly picked up their weapons, ready for battle.
Torches appeared one after another in the forest, and it seemed like a lot of people were running towards this side.
Chief Chen looked solemn and ordered his men to guard the road crossing.
"It's me! I'm Ginger Wine!"
A wet man appeared at the intersection.
By this time the rain had stopped and the sky was beginning to brighten, and I could just barely make out the face of the person who was coming.
Hearing the sound, Old Man Jiang ran over and shouted, "This is my eldest nephew, let him come up!"
Everyone took back their bamboo poles and bows and arrows and let the men into the cave.
"Da Lang, how is the village?" Old Man Jiang asked repeatedly, "Have you seen San Lang and the others?"
Jiang Jiu wiped his face and said, "Da Lang, Er Lang, and San Lang are all behind us and will be here soon."
Seeing that his nephew was all wet, Old Man Jiang took out a set of old clothes from his package and gave it to him to change into.
Jiang Jiu took off his wet clothes and put on his uncle's clothes, and continued: "A lot of bandits came last night. Fortunately, Sanlang reminded us in time, so that our village was prepared, otherwise I really don't know what would happen."
"So how is your village now? Have the bandits retreated?" Old Man Jiang asked again.
Ginger Wine: "I've withdrawn for now, but I think they'll come back again."
The bandits didn't get what they deserved this time, and suffered many casualties. They will definitely come back for revenge, so the villagers decided to find a place to hide first.
Everyone in Jiangjia Village knew that there was a tiger's mouth here and that the terrain was dangerous and suitable for temporary refuge, so everyone rushed here with their families.
Jiang Jiu was quick and arrived before them.
Old Man Jiang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are Sanlang and the others not injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Jiang Jiu took a sip of the water handed to him by his aunt, and felt scared when he thought about what happened last night.
There were so many bandits, more than 200 of them. All the young and strong men in the village went out, and together with the dozens of people and twenty bows and arrows brought by Jiang Sanlang, they barely repelled them.
If Saburo and the others hadn't gone to warn, he would probably have been killed in his sleep.
As they were talking, many people came over but were stopped by the people guarding the road.
Jiang Jiu ran over when he saw this: "They are all from Jiangjia Village, let them up quickly!"
So dozens of people came into the cave one after another, and there were still many people gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Some people were leading cattle and sheep, some were driving fat pigs, and some were holding chickens and geese.
It is estimated that everyone in Jiangjia Village has come, except for a few young and strong people.
With the addition of dozens of people from Chenjia Village, the cave was soon packed.
However, the buffaloes and donkeys could not come up, and the fat pigs refused to enter the plank road, so the people of Jiangjia Village drove these animals into the woods and waited until the bandit problem was over before looking for them.
Even so, many goats, chickens and geese entered the cave. For a while, feces and urine were flowing everywhere, and the cave was filled with a foul stench.
