A very ordinary farmhouse, simple but full of warmth.
"Has the tiger mother returned?" A weak voice came from inside. It was a man. His voice was not high-pitched, but there was a lot of anxiety in it.
"Dad, we are back, and we have a guest." Huzi ran in first and shouted to the man half lying on the bed.
The man coughed twice, stretched out his hand to take Huzi's chubby hand, and asked hurriedly: "Why are you back so late? Did something happen?"
Huzi's eyes immediately turned red when he thought of what he had experienced in the mountains today. He wiped away tears and said, "My mother was injured. It's my fault. She wanted to eat pears. She accidentally fell in while trying to pick pears for me." In a mountain col.”
The man became excited immediately and struggled to get out of bed.
At this time, Xia Yuanqiu had already carried Hu Ziniang into the room. Hu Ziniang hurriedly said to the man: "I'm fine, don't move around."
Xia Yuanqiu quickened his pace, placed Hu Zi Niang on the bed, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "We are finally here. If not, I won't be able to hold her."
Huzi's father looked at Xia Yuanqiu curiously, and then asked Huzi's mother: "What happened to you? Where did you fall?"
Hu Zi Niang endured the pain, forced a smile, and said: "It's okay, I just sprained my foot. It will be fine in a few days."
Dad Huzi obviously doesn't believe it. I sprained my foot. Does it need to be splinted? He had seen the doctor Niu in the village put a splint on a villager who had broken his leg, which was very similar to the bandaging method used on Hu Ziniang's foot.
He turned to look at Xia Yuanqiu and asked doubtfully, "Who is this girl?"
Huzi said hurriedly: "She is Sister Xia. She was the one who saved my mother. My mother said she is a great benefactor to our family."
Hu Zi's father hurriedly raised his hands to Xia Yuanqiu: "Thank you very much, girl, for your righteousness in saving me!"
Xia Yuanqiu waved his hand: "I am a doctor, how can I not save her even if I die? No need to say thank you, this is what I should do. In this case, you lie down on the inside first, and I will check your wife's leg injury first."
Huzi's father quickly moved his body to the inside so that his wife could have a place to lie down.
Xia Yuanqiu removed the splint on her leg and touched the bones of the obviously swollen calf back and forth with his fingers. The pain made Hu Zi Niang bite her lips purple.
She asked Hu Zi to fetch a cloth and asked Hu Zi Niang to bite it, and said: "Fortunately, it is just dislocated. I will help you connect it now. Please bear with it."
The tiger girl nodded quickly and bit the cloth obediently.
Xia Yuanqiu's bone-setting technique is different from that of ordinary doctors. There are almost no tricks. He pinches the calf with one hand and presses the leg with the other. With a little force, there is only a click sound, and the dislocated joint is reset smoothly, and the pain is not as bad as expected. It hurts so much.
Dad Huzi has seen Dr. Niu treat dislocations on people. Good guy, he has so many different gestures, making it seem very difficult. But now that the girl in front of him is treating dislocations, it's as easy as playing.
Xia Yuanqiu took off the cloth from Hu Ziniang's mouth: "Does it still hurt?"
Hu Zi Niang quickly shook her head: "It's much better. Thank you very much. Your medical skills are really very good. If my injury is treated by Doctor Niu, I may suffer a lot."
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be polite to me. You can't use your legs these days, let alone fall again. You have to rest for at least seven days before you use them again."
Hu Zi Niang glanced at the sky outside. The fire clouds in the sky had receded, and the room was already very dark. She said awkwardly: "There is nothing to eat at home, and I don't know how to entertain you."
