"Brother Lihu, I'm here to help you remove the stitches!" Gu Ye pushed open the door of Zhang Hu's house, carrying a large medicine box in his thin arms.

Aunt Zhang, who was making breakfast, stuck her head out of the kitchen and greeted with a smile, "Little Ye'er, it's so early! Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Except for the heavy autumn harvest and spring planting period, the villagers eat twice a day. Breakfast is between nine and ten in the morning, and dinner is at four or five in the afternoon. However, there are two children in Gu Xiao's family who are growing, and he is not short of money. He will give the children an extra meal at noon, so their family's breakfast is earlier than other people's.

"I've eaten it! Aunt Zhang, I'm going to see Brother Lihu's wound." Gu Ye smiled at Aunt Zhang.

"Let's have a bowl of soup later! They all say that what you eat will make up for what you eat. This is bone soup that has been boiled all night!" They all say that you will make up for what you eat. Aunt Zhang's bones were all begged for by the wild boar that Gu Ye's family killed. to go. For the past two weeks, Zhang Lihu drank bone soup and felt like vomiting.

Gu Ye declined Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm and stepped into Zhang Lihu's room. Inside the house, the restless boy was walking towards the door step by step with one leg on the ground.

"Stop! Go back to the bed and lie down! If you don't obey, be careful that your hamstrings will grow crooked and become lame!" Gu Yehu scolded sharply with a small face, his small appearance was quite powerful.

Zhang Lihu was most afraid of being lame. Hearing that, he lay back on the bed obediently, put his legs on the quilt, and looked behind Gu Ye eagerly. Seeing that there was no one behind her, Zhang Lihu asked inexplicably, "Didn't you tell me to remove the stitches? Where's the old genius doctor?"

"Why bother my master with this trivial matter?" Gu Ye opened the medicine box and squinted at the big stupid man from the corner of his eyes, "Stretch out your feet!"

"You? Are you helping me remove the stitches? Don't make another hole in my leg!" Zhang Lihu stared at the surgical scissors in her hand with horror, and moved the injured leg to the inside of the kang. This little girl has only been with the old god of medicine for a few days before she went out to see a doctor? Wouldn't she have stolen the old genius doctor's medicine box and come to practice with him

"What's your expression like?" His medical skills were questioned, Gu Ye looked unhappy and glared at the stupid big man threateningly. The guy who has eyes but doesn't know gold and jade, your leg, if it weren't for my little aunt and me, I would have been useless! Where are you still in the mood to chatter here

Aunt Zhang, who came in with a bowl of bone soup, saw her son's expression of resistance and uncooperativeness, slapped him on the arm, and said, "The old genius doctor said that Xiao Ye Ye has a very high talent for studying medicine. I’ve been studying for more than half a month, and I still can’t help you to change the medicine? You don’t believe in Xiao Ye Zi, do you always believe in the old genius doctor? Since he is relieved to give your leg to Xiao Ye, it means that he is competent.”

Zhang Lihu stretched out his legs reluctantly. Gu Ye neatly removed the splint on his foot, untied the gauze, and carefully checked the degree of healing of the wound.

"Well, it's healed well! Aunt Zhang's bone soup didn't boil in vain!" Gu Ye noticed Zhang Lihu's resistance to the bowl of bone soup, and added maliciously. Hmph, dare you believe her medical skills, let you drink soup until you vomit!

Surgical scissors cut the suture, Gu Ye grabbed the end of the thread with tweezers and pulled it quickly. Zhang Lihu only felt that the wound was slightly numb, and the thread was pulled out. The small pieces of thread that were cut were pulled out one by one. Gu Ye disinfected it with medical alcohol, sprinkled some anti-inflammatory powder, and wrapped it again with clean gauze.

"Okay, just bear with it for a few more days. After seven days, your foot will be able to slightly move the joints." Seeing the silly boy's eyes suddenly lit up, she added, "But you can't get off the kang, let alone move around. If the sewn tendons are torn apart, even the gods won't be able to heal them!"

As soon as Zhang Lihu heard this, he immediately nodded his head honestly and promised to be obedient. Aunt Zhang smiled and said to Gu Ye: "Little Ye Zi, you still have a way to restrain him. My father and I are both worn out, and he refuses to listen. Come, drink this bowl of bone soup!"

"Ah, I'm drinking bone soup again, can I replace it with something else? Didn't my father go to the pheasant yesterday? Let's make chicken soup, okay?" Zhang Lihu wailed. No wonder he drank enough bone soup, Aunt Zhang's skill in making soup is really bad.

Aunt Zhang stared at her son and drank the bone soup before saying, "The old genius doctor likes to eat game, and your father sent that pheasant to the old genius doctor early in the morning. The old genius doctor helped you heal the leg, and looked at Xiao Yezi's face. If we don't charge our consultation fee, it's appropriate to send him a few more game animals to taste."

Zhang Lihu nodded, but he still resisted drinking bone soup. He hurts tendons, not bones, so why torture him with bone broth

"Mother, how many days can we eat the big bones of our family?" Zhang Lihu prayed that the bones would be eaten soon, and he would be freed.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, tomorrow your father will go to the town to deliver game, and I will ask him to bring back more bones. That stuff is not worth a lot of money, you can get one for two pounds of meat. Root, I can't be without you!"

When Zhang Lihu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and lay on the kang pretending to be dead. When did he become a head!

Zhang Lihu's sister sent Gu Ye out the door and looked at her without saying anything. Gu Ye felt strange and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ting, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Liting is a gentle and quiet girl, she hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I don't know who in the village spread the rumor that the old fairy in your family is a liar. She also said that the world has never seen a person's skin on the ground. Together, we can grow up. It's not a big deal to say that my brother's script will come, but now it's not necessarily."

When Gu Ye heard the words, Yun Danfeng smiled lightly and said, "We have also heard about this rumor. My master said that rumors stop at the wise, and I believe that facts speak louder than words. He can stand up and do normal functional exercises. As long as he resists the initial pain, gritted his teeth and perseveres, he will be healed within the New Year. At that time, these rumors will naturally subside!"

Zhang Liting nodded lightly and said with a hint of envy, "Sister Ye'er, since you took the old genius doctor as your teacher and learned pharmacology and medicine from him, your whole person has changed a lot! It's like facts speak louder than words. Words, we have never heard of it before!"

Gu Ye scratched his forehead and showed a silly smile: "Master not only taught me to recognize medicinal materials and taught me medical skills, but also taught me to read and write. I know the name."

Zhang Liting showed an expression of amazement on her face and said, "Sister Ye'er, you are so amazing, you can recognize more characters than the village chief grandpa, and you are about to catch up with Uncle Gu? To be a doctor to treat people"

Gu Sanshu is the eldest son of the third grandfather's family, the third oldest in the family, and the only one who goes to the town to study. It's a pity that his aptitude is average. After more than ten years of study, he has not been able to pass the exam as a scholar. Depressed, he returned to the village to become a teacher. It is said that he is a teacher, but there are not many students, only a few. Every family in the village is barely able to fill their stomachs. Where can they have the money to study for their children

Gu Ye hurriedly shook his head and said, "I've only been reading for a few days, and I only know a few words. How can I compare with Uncle Gu San? I'm going back, or Master will scold me for being lazy again and working abroad."

Going back from Zhang Hu's house, we have to pass through Dr. Wu's house. From a distance, Gu Ye could see Aunt Wu and Mrs. Liu saying something.

When I got closer, I heard that Aunt Wu said to Liu Shi strangely: "You don't know, I have seen Zhang Hu's son's wound, tsk tsk tsk actually used needle and thread to hold the skin together, and the stitches look scary. The Zhang family is really pitiful, how painful it must be to stitch the flesh! That old liar can also do it!"

Liu Shi was shocked and said: "Really or not? I have only heard about sewing clothes and shoes. I have lived so much, I have never heard that flesh and blood can sew! This household is also real, just let it be like that. Old liar fooling around? His son's feet don't want anymore?"

"That's not it! After I saw it, the head of the family told me that the boy's feet were red and swollen. You know, the trauma is not handled well, but it will fester. I looked at it, that boy's feet are impossible to protect. It's okay! That's what it deserves, don't hire a doctor who knows the basics, you have to hire an old liar!" Aunt Wu, with a sour face, "bah" twice in the direction of Zhang's family.

"Talking right and wrong behind your back, don't be afraid of a rotten tongue!!" Gu Ye suddenly appeared behind the two of them, startling the two women.

"Who do you call a rotten tongue?" Aunt Wu, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, jumped her feet and howled in a shrill voice.

"Whoever speaks ill of people behind their backs and smears others with a black heart will rot their tongues!" Gu Ye kept the medicine powder that made people's tongues fester in the space. It's a pity that she moved out, otherwise, how could Liu Shi still have a chance to talk behind his back

Hearing "Rotten Tongue", Liu Shi suddenly felt a burning pain in his mouth. At the beginning, this girl also downplayed the word "rotten tongue", but she has suffered for more than half a month. Speaking of it, it is also evil. She has several accidents, all of which are related to the dead girl. Thinking of this, Liu Shi felt timid in her heart, and quietly took a few steps back.

Unfortunately, it's too late. When she and Aunt Wu were choreographing their masters, Gu Ye had secretly sprinkled the medicinal powder out. That medicinal powder is colorless and odorless, and can enter the human body with human breathing. In the evening, Liu's and Aunt Wu's tongues began to fester, and the next day, even drinking water became a huge pain.

Wu Danggui gave his daughter-in-law a decoction to dispel fire, and even after drinking it for five days, she did not see any relief. The news spread quickly in the village, and it was said that Aunt Wu and Liu Shi were the people behind the retribution. The rumor that Chuan Yaosheng was an "old liar" came to an abrupt end. Many women with broken mouths are also cautious in their words and deeds. The atmosphere of Qingshan Village is unprecedentedly harmonious.
