The prescription was taken for several days, but there seemed to be no change in Alanyue's legs.
Jiang Yubai took a small hammer and tapped various places on his legs.
Zhao Litang was watching from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Didn't Doctor Jiang say that Yue'er's legs are more fragile and sensitive than most people? Isn't this too strong? Don't want to hurt him. Should we be a little gentler?"
Jiang Yubai stopped what he was doing and rolled his eyes, "Am I the doctor or are you? General Zhao, I told you to wait outside, but you insisted on coming in. Not only did you come in, but you also kept questioning me. You're disturbing me, don't you know? If anything happens to Ah Yue, it'll all be your fault..."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "No, it's your fault."
Several people have completely understood what happened back then, and they also know the entanglement behind Zhao Litang and A Lanyue, but from an outsider's perspective, neither of them did anything wrong, yet it seems that they both did something wrong.
They had originally agreed not to mention the past in front of the two of them, but Jiang Yubai knew Alanyue's injuries best. Every time he came to treat him, he felt very sorry for him when he saw him having to drink so many medicines and undergo so many painful treatments all year round.
The most important thing for a doctor is to maintain a compassionate heart. Jiang Yubai looks heartless, but in fact, he is softer than anyone else.
Zhao Litang didn't say anything else. He pursed his lips and sat beside her, looking at A Lanyue quietly.
Seeing Jiang Yubai's angry look, A Lanyue said, "Doctor Jiang, it's okay. I trust you. I will do whatever you want me to do. I know you are doing this for my own good. You are even more worried about my injury than I am. I will listen to you in everything."
After hearing such sensible and well-behaved words, Jiang Yubai felt even more distressed for him. He put away the small hammer, turned around and walked to Zhao Litang.
"This hammer is not used to hurt him, but to relax and massage the muscles on his legs," Jiang Yubai stuffed the hammer into Zhao Litang's hand, "three times a day, half an hour each time. During this period of medication, you must tap and massage on time, and you must pay attention to each acupuncture point and the strength..."
Jiang Yubai talked for a long time, and finally stared at Zhao Litang, "Did you remember it?"
"Yeah." Zhao Litang agreed.
"What did you remember?" Jiang Yubai said unhappily, "I see you didn't remember anything. Come over here and try knocking on it. I'll see if you've learned it."
Zhao Litang was just like a child being taught by his teacher. He listened to whatever Jiang Yubai said. When he was told to squat next to A Lanyue, he went over and squatted down.
Jiang Yubai stood by and gave instructions, "Put the hammer aside and start massaging first."
Zhao Litang put down the small wooden hammer and rolled up his sleeves.
“Start from the calf, and slowly move upward along the tendons at the back. Press the calf bone with your thumb, and gently rub with your four fingers in a circular motion…”
Jiang Yubai talked for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Litang's hand stretched out but not moving, he asked loudly, "General Zhao? What are you doing? Are you asleep? Why aren't you pressing it?"
Zhao Litang raised his head slightly and looked at A Lanyue who was right in front of him, and was dazed for a moment.
Although the two of them often met in the past few days, A Lanyue never looked at him directly. When he saw him, he lowered his head and avoided him. Zhao Litang didn't know if it was because he scared him that night, so he was still angry with himself, so he didn't dare to force him anymore.
He wanted to see him, talk to him, and take care of him, but he could only endure it in frustration. Zhao Litang admired how he had developed such strong self-control.
A Lanyue originally had his eyes lowered, but after hearing Jiang Yubai's words, he raised his eyes slightly and looked over. His eyes met Zhao Litang's. He quickly looked away as if he was burned, but his fluttering eyelashes and clenched fingers revealed his inner panic.
"Ayue, I've been taking care of you at home these days, and I haven't been to the clinic. I think Xiaojiu is too busy to handle it alone. Pei Zheng doesn't like me anyway, so he will take the opportunity to beat me to death..." Jiang Yubai coughed twice, "After thinking about it, there is no one else at home, and your follower was taken to the clinic as a slave by Pei Zheng, so only General Zhao is left. He has nothing to do except taking care of you every day. I think he is the most suitable person to take care of you..."
A Lanyue knew that what Jiang Yubai said made sense, so she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Yubai leaned over and whispered in his ear, "... Also, he's physically strong, knows martial arts and has internal strength. Find a way to get him to share some of his strength with you. It will definitely help with your recovery."
As he was speaking, Zhao Litang's hand slowly reached out to A Lanyue's slender calf. One palm was able to cover most of his calf. Then, his slender and powerful fingers began to gently knead him according to the method Jiang Yubai said.
But the force used was too light, and Alan Yue only felt an itchy touch drawing circles on his calf.
Jiang Yubai also noticed it and asked in confusion, "General Zhao, where did all the energy you used to kill enemies on the battlefield go? Are you tickling Ah Yue?"
A Lanyue couldn't help laughing when she saw Jiang Yubai's serious expression.
It was the first time that Zhao Litang saw his smiling face in several days, and he felt relieved a little, so he secretly increased the strength. However, he failed to control it well and the strength was too great, which happened to press on a certain acupuncture point. A Lanyue was so painful that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Well… "
Hearing the soft cry, Zhao Litang quickly released his strength. His hand was still holding A Lanyue's calf, but he didn't dare to move anymore. He looked up at Jiang Yubai as if he had done something wrong.
Jiang Yubai sighed and shook his head, thinking to himself, I didn't expect that the general who was once so mighty and capable of planning could not even learn how to give a massage. Love really can make people go to their heads.
"It's okay, don't worry, take your time. This should be General Zhao's first time to trick someone into giving him a massage. It's understandable." Jiang Yubai comforted.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Jiang Yubai, Zhao Litang massaged Alanyue a few more times. He finally figured out the technique and found the right strength. He massaged Alanyue's calves for a long time without being too heavy or too fast.
Jiang Yubai taught Zhao Litang how to use the small wooden hammer to tap Alanyue's thigh to relax her. Seeing that he was doing it well, he said, "Not bad, not bad. From now on, please ask General Zhao to give Alanyue a good massage every day. You must not stop."
As they were talking, several other people came back from the clinic.
The first thing Shen Shijiu did when he came back was to run to A Lanyue's room to see him, and then asked Jiang Yubai about A Lanyue's situation today.
After a while, Pei Zheng and Cheng Feng also came in. In fact, they were all very concerned about A Lanyue's injury.
Then Liu Zhiyuan came in with the boiled medicine. He was surprised to see so many people in the room.
"Why are you all here? Aren't you going to go back and rest?"
He handed the medicine over, and Alanyue reached out to take it, but he didn't give it to her, saying "it's still a little hot". Then the medicine bowl was taken by Zhao Litang beside him.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at the two people in front of him and said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that after so many things, you two could meet again and reconcile again. Sigh, things in this world are really unpredictable."
A Lanyue replied in a low voice, "No, you misunderstood."
Zhao Litang's hand holding the medicine bowl couldn't help but pause.
Liu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at the two people. One of them had a red earlobe and was sitting in a wheelchair. He deliberately avoided the other person who was half-crouching beside him. It seemed like he was shy because there were so many people around.
"Hey, Sir, please don't lie to me. Even if others don't know, don't I know?" Liu Zhiyuan said, "Last time I caught you two, you had this expression on your face. Don't think I've forgotten."
After these words were spoken, A Lanyue widened her eyes in shame and anger, staring at Liu Zhiyuan with a tense face, signaling him not to say anything more, but unfortunately Young Master Liu didn't see it at all.
The other people exchanged glances with each other, and almost knew what was going on. Only Shen Shijiu looked at Liu Zhiyuan, then at Jiang Yubai, then at Chengfeng, and finally at Pei Zheng, with a confused look on his face.
"Mr. Liu, why don't you say anything?" Shen Jiujiu asked in confusion, "What happened when you ran into Brother Tang and Ah Yue? What were they doing? I want to know, too, can't you tell me too..."
Pei Zheng reached out and covered his mouth at the right time, then lifted him to his side and pressed him into his arms. Shen Shijiu blinked twice, becoming even more confused.
Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's not that I can't talk about this matter. Anyway, everyone here knows it. At that time, General Zhao and my son escaped from the barbarian camp and hid in my family's caravan..."
Afterwards, Liu Zhiyuan exaggerated and fabricated what happened in detail, but after he talked about how he rushed into the bushes and saw the two people, he suddenly stopped talking.
A Lanyue explained anxiously, "It's really not like that... I... I was applying medicine to the general... The general was injured at the time..."
Liu Zhiyuan was very secretive. "Well, my master told me this later, but I don't know how serious the injury is, and I still need to...
Applying medicine in that posture…”
Jiang Yubai forced a smile and pretended to think for a while, "I have been practicing medicine for so many years, but there are still treatment methods that I have never seen. I am really ignorant..."
Chengfeng also nodded in agreement.
Pei Zheng curled his lips slightly, pinched the delicate and smooth face of the person in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "Let's try it when we have time."
Shen Shijiu used all his strength to pry away the hand that was covering his mouth and was finally able to speak.
A Lanyue's cheeks, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had already turned red. No matter how he explained, those people simply wouldn't listen to him and didn't believe him at all. He simply kept his mouth shut. Seeing Shen Shijiu looking at him, he looked back and thought that Shen Shijiu was indeed simple and kind, and was willing to believe in him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shijiu looked at Alan Yue and said, "Alan Yue, there are a lot of bugs in the bushes. You can't be there next time, okay?"
