Looking at this scene, Bai Ling felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.
"Brother Li He!"
Bai Ling called softly, supported the branches beside him, and rushed to Li He's side in a hurry.
After getting close, Bai Ling realized that Li He was leaning against the old tree and was already speechless in pain. Holding on to his right leg, he frowned.
Bai Ling slowly helped Li He up, sat on the root of the tree, and asked with concern: "How is it, Brother Li He, are you alright?"
The heavy rain splashed on Li He's face, making him look a little pale. I don't know if it's because of the excessive pain, or the rain is too cold.
Li He endured the severe pain from his right leg, reluctantly smiled at Bai Ling and said, "It's nothing...it's nothing...just a small injury, just sprained my ankle."
Bai Ling didn't believe Li He's words at all. Following Li He's legs, he began to check. After he was completely sure, Bai Ling's heart suddenly became heavy.
In the demon world for such a long time, Bai Ling really read a lot of things like medical books. Bai Ling knows a lot about all the pathologies of pain and intractable diseases. In Li He's current situation, most likely he has broken a bone.
As for how serious it is and where the injury is, it needs to be carefully observed.
Now in the heavy rain, it is not easy to check the wound. In addition, Li He's pants are now covered with a layer of mud, which is not easy to observe at all. Therefore, everything has to wait until after going down the mountain, and then ask the doctor to come over to look at it.
Bai Ling looked at Li He distressedly and said, "Brother Li He, there is nothing on this mountain, and there is no lighting for heating. I'd better carry you down the mountain to see a doctor, right?"
Li He broke out in cold sweat from the pain, and gently opened and closed his white lips, saying, "It's raining too much now, and the road down the mountain is not easy to walk at all. Plus it's dark... in case you There are three long and two short... "
Regarding this, Bai Ling refused without hesitation: "No! Brother Li He, your injury must be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, the root cause of the disease will definitely fall in the future!"
Bai Ling's attitude was very firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Seeing this, Li He nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, just let me hold your shoulders and support you. Let's try to be careful."
Bai Ling nodded lightly, and carried Li He up. Let the weight of his whole body be basically on his shoulders. The two staggered like this, and walked down the mountain cautiously in the heavy rain, supporting each other.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong along the way. Moreover, even the rain is much less.
After finally helping Li He to his home, Bai Ling non-stop boiled hot water for Li He and wiped him. He also helped him take off his muddy clothes and put on a new set of clean clothes.
After doing this, Bai Ling didn't stop at all. Holding up an oil-paper umbrella, I rushed towards the town. Half an hour later, Bai Ling rushed home with the best bone setter in the town.
The person here is a very experienced old doctor in his sixties. He is very good at dealing with broken bones, bruises and sprains.
At first, old doctor Wang didn't want to run such a long way to see a doctor in the middle of the night under such heavy rain. But he couldn't help it, and Bai Ling stayed outside the door, begging bitterly.
In the end, it was the benevolence of the doctor who couldn't help but soften his heart. He agreed to Bai Ling's request and came over with Bai Ling.
Old Doctor Wang carefully examined Li He's wound by the light of the oil lamp. Finally, they were informed that the calf bone of Li He's right leg was indeed broken, and the injury was not serious.
Fortunately, as soon as Li He was injured, he immediately asked Bai Ling to invite Old Doctor Wang over. Otherwise, if it is delayed overnight like this, the situation is really not easy to say.
But since he came, old doctor Wang naturally tried his best to do his best and treat Li He's illness without reservation.
And this cure is just one night.
That night, Dr. Wang relieved Li He's pain with acupuncture and moxibustion, reunited the bones, promoted blood circulation and removed blood stasis. Until the wound medicine is finally applied, the bandage is wrapped, and the splint is fixed. The sky was already lit up with a gray light.
One night passed inadvertently like this.
Finally, when the work was finally done, Old Doctor Wang himself was already sweating profusely.
Old Doctor Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's all right! It's finally done."
Bai Ling looked at Li He's right leg which had been taken care of, and a hanging heart finally fell down. Now, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Ling said gratefully to Old Doctor Wang: "Doctor Wang, thank you so much! Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
Old Doctor Wang waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I haven't told you some things yet. Although his leg can still walk in the future, it has been broken after all. Walking later, there will definitely be some problems. Lame, you can't be completely like a normal person. This, old man, I hope you all understand."
Bai Ling didn't speak, but turned to look at Li He.
Li He looked at Bai Ling, smiled and signaled to him: "It's okay, it's just a little inconvenient, and it's not like I can't walk at all. Xiaobai, don't worry!"
"But!!!" Bai Ling hesitated to speak, wanted to say that, but couldn't.
After all, if it wasn't because he was too timid, he wouldn't dare to go down the mountain in this thunderstorm weather. Li He, who would not offend him, was worried, so he ventured up the mountain to find out. Although the person was found in the end, Li He's injury...
Li He gave Bai Ling a comforting look and said, "It's okay, it's just a little problem, it won't hinder me."
Bai Ling was moved in his heart, and his eyes turned red unconsciously...
After all, since Bai Ling was trapped on the mountain, Li He came out to find him. After finding him, he accidentally broke his leg. Until now, when Old Doctor Wang treated his leg injury well and told him that he would be lame in the future, Li He never said a word to complain about him. On the contrary, she kept comforting him and told him not to worry too much.
I'm afraid Bai Ling has never met such a person in his life.
Such a gentle, caring person. Even Fang Ye, who used to like him so much, would not be like Li He. Do anything to him without complaint or regret, without asking for anything in return.
Because he was afraid that Li He would see him crying, Bai Ling simply turned his head away without looking at Li He.
"You... as long as you don't mind..."
After finishing speaking, Bai Ling asked Old Doctor Wang again: "Doctor Wang, how long will he..."
While packing his things, Old Doctor Wang replied: "If you want to go to the field, at least it will take three or four months. But for these three or four months, you have to stay at home all the time. Otherwise, it will be better." Slow. As for the complete recovery... it is impossible without more than half a year."
Bai Ling nodded lightly: "Well, I'm sorry."
As he said that, Bai Ling took out the money bag at home and said, "I don't know how much money it will cost to invite Dr. Wang out for treatment this time?"
Old Doctor Wang looked at Bai Ling, but he was not polite to him, he pinched his fingers and calculated carefully.
"Counting the wound medicine, plus the money for the bone setting...together, I will charge you two taels of silver."
Looking at the only two taels of silver left in the purse, Bai Ling suddenly felt stretched.
After Bai Ling handed over the last two taels of silver in the purse to Old Doctor Wang, Old Doctor Wang said again: "By the way, come to me to change the wound medicine on your brother's leg every half a month, four times a time." Ten pennies."
Bai Ling nodded, expressing his understanding. I thanked Old Doctor Wang again and sent Old Doctor Wang out.
After Dr. Wang left, Li He saw Bai Ling's sad face, and when he walked in with an empty purse, he couldn't help asking, "Xiaobai, do you have no extra money at home?"
Bai Ling looked at Li He lying on the bed, the splint on his leg was just fixed. For a moment, some didn't know how to speak.
Originally, the two of them relied on their daily labor and what little savings they had. Although the life is a bit rough, it is more or less passable. But a while ago, because of Bai Ling's suggestion, Li He used all his savings to buy sweet-scented osmanthus wine and ingredients for sweet-scented osmanthus candy. The last two taels of silver left are used for daily expenses and to buy some vegetables, rice, oil and salt.
But now, before the osmanthus candy and osmanthus wine were sold, Li He's leg was injured. The last two taels of silver left behind were also used to show Li He's legs.
I'm afraid the days ahead will be very difficult...
And not only that, the wound medicine on Li He's leg had to be changed every half a month. It costs forty Wen to change one time. Judging from the current economic situation of the two of them, it is not easy to barely maintain food and clothing. If you add the medicine money...
That is simply too difficult!
Bai Ling looked at the empty purse, but felt very uncomfortable. He didn't even hear Li He talking to him.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai!"
Li He called twice with a little effort, and finally brought Bai Ling back to his senses.
"Xiao Bai, what are you thinking? Are you worrying about money?" Li He looked at Bai Ling's self-blaming expression, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
Although it is true that he has broken his leg now, he can no longer do some physical work for others. But as long as it was for Bai Ling, even if his leg was broken, he would persevere and find other jobs. Absolutely don't let Bai Ling go hungry with him, don't have enough to eat, and don't have warm clothes.
Li He looked at Bai Ling, and said again: "Xiao Bai, don't worry, I will definitely..."
"I will definitely heal Brother Li He's leg!" Bai Ling said seriously: "Brother Li He, you can rest at home and recuperate. Leave the money to me!"
After all, it's all his fault.
If it weren't for him, how could Li He endure such great pain, lying on the bed, unable to walk.
If it weren't for him, Li He would have lived his leisurely and hard-working life.
It was his appearance that made all this change so dramatically.
Now, it is time for him to shoulder the responsibility again.
As he said that, Bai Ling took up the already soaked oil-paper umbrella, and taking advantage of the dawn of the sky, he resolutely plunged into the heavy rain to find a new way of life for him and Li He.
