【35】Sanlang, I'm back

After finishing everything in the store, Manager Xue went with Su Xueer to see Chi Rui again today.

Su Xueer carried the medicine box and brought Manager Xue into her own yard.

Chi Rui was sitting in a wheelchair chopping wood, swinging the axe one by one.

"Sanlang, I'm back." Su Xueer shouted.

Chi Rui looked back, the light in his eyes was like a meteor that suddenly appeared in the night sky, bright and dazzling.

Seeing Manager Xue behind her, he nodded politely.

"Master is here to check your legs." Su Xueer put the medicine box on her shoulder on the dilapidated wooden table.

Then he walked to Chi Rui and took the axe from his hand, "I'll chop these later. I'll push you into the house first and show you to the master."

"Master?" Chi Rui looked at her puzzledly.

"Well, today I have officially become Master Xue's disciple. From now on, I will become a formidable doctor."

Su Xueer's eyes were full of pride and expectation.

Chi Rui didn't say anything, just nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

Su Xueer pushed Chi Rui into his room, and Shopkeeper Xue followed in.

After checking Chi Rui's legs, he frowned.

"That shouldn't be the case. I let out a lot of blood last time, so why is it swelling again?"

He put his hand on Chi Rui's knee and squeezed it, then looked at him in surprise and asked, "What did you do?"

Chi Rui said nothing.

"What's wrong, Master?" Su Xueer asked in surprise.

Having seen Chi Rui's scars so often, she was no longer as scared as before.

Shopkeeper Xue shook his head and said, "It's okay, there's no thick blood. I'll give you another acupuncture treatment and the swelling should go away tomorrow."

Chi Rui didn't want to talk about it, so Manager Xue didn't ask any further questions.

He took out the needle bag and began to give Chi Rui acupuncture. While doing so, he told Su Xueer beside him about the degree and depth of the acupuncture.

Shopkeeper Xue gave Chi Rui acupuncture seriously, while Su Xueer watched attentively from the side.

I dare not be distracted in the slightest, for fear of missing any details.

After a while, the acupuncture was over. Shopkeeper Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, remember not to overexert yourself these few days. Keep your legs flat and don't put any pressure on them."

Chi Rui nodded slightly to show that he understood.

After leaving the house, Su Xueer grabbed Shopkeeper Xue and asked, "Master, what happened to his leg? Why is it swollen again?"

Shopkeeper Xue shook his head: "Maybe he was trying so hard to stand up that he exerted too much force."

Su Xueer nodded. She remembered that Zhao Yueru had also said that he should not use force on his legs and should not bump into anything.

Shopkeeper Xue glanced at Su Xue'er and said earnestly, "Xue'er, from now on you only need to go to the store for two hours a day to study. The rest of the time you should stay at home and take care of your husband. It's easy to heal a leg, but it's hard to heal a heart..."

After a pause, he continued, "If he continues to be so impatient, his leg will probably never heal."

"Is it really that serious?" Su Xueer asked.

"Well, his kneecaps are all broken, and they were broken by someone else."

All the kneecaps were shattered?

Su Xueer’s heart trembled violently.

When she read the book, she knew that Chi Rui had suffered a lot of torture in prison.

But those were just words, nothing compared to what she saw with her own eyes, which shocked her.

Sanlang, how did you get through that time?

"Master, can Sanlang's leg be healed?" Su Xueer looked at Manager Xue with expectation and pleading eyes.

"I'll try my best, acupuncture and compresses, but it may not cure the disease." Shopkeeper Xue looked at Su Xueer.

Seeing Amelia Su's eyes filled with mist and her face full of worry.

He added, "You don't have to worry. Although he can't be cured, he should be able to stand up and walk short distances. That's fine."

"Thank you, Master." Su Xueer said with tears in her eyes.

One thing that Shopkeeper Xue didn't tell her was that his family had a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation that could cure leg diseases and heal broken bones.

Because the secret recipe needs to be applied to Chi Rui five times in a row to be effective, without interruption in between, and each time requires extremely precious Taipan snake as medicine.

By this calculation, five Taipan snakes are needed.

Not to mention their family's situation, they couldn't afford to buy medicine at all. Even if they had the five hundred taels, it would be impossible to collect five Taipan snakes in the market at once.

He knew her personality well. If he told her, she would definitely go to the eastern mountains day and night to look for Taipan snakes.

It's too dangerous.

You might not find any and even lose your life.

Therefore, it is better not to talk about this method.

Another method is to perform surgery to set the bones, but cutting through the skin and flesh to set the bones is not an easy task.

He had only read about it in medical books and had never practiced it, nor did he dare to try it on a real person.

well!

Shopkeeper Xue shook his head helplessly, "Xue'er, go take care of your husband, there's no need to send me off."

After saying that, he left.

It didn't take long.

Qianyu just came back, so Su Xueer asked him to see off Shopkeeper Xue: "Qianyu, please go and see off my master."

"Your master?" Qianyu scratched the back of his head.

Su Xueer said anxiously: "It's Shopkeeper Xue, go quickly, he just walked a few steps away, you need to hurry up, it's getting dark, he's old, I'm worried."

"Oh oh oh!" Qianyu turned around and chased after him.

Su Xueer returned to Chi Rui again.

Chi Rui got up again and sat in the wheelchair.

Chi Rui looked at Su Xueer. He looked at Su Xueer's tired face, sunken eye sockets and clearly visible dark circles.

"Sanlang? What's wrong with you? Is your leg still hurting?" Su Xueer asked with a smile.

Why are you staring at her like that? It makes her feel uneasy.

I haven't done anything wrong recently.

He wouldn't want to kill himself again, would he?

Chi Rui shook his head grimly.

Su Xueer didn’t know what he was thinking.

"Um, Sanlang, are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."

Chi Rui replied in a low voice: "You go and rest, I'll cook today."

He cooks?

Su Xueer thought she was hallucinating.

"Sanlang, what did you say?"

"I said, take a rest, I'll cook today." Chi Rui repeated.

"Sanlang can cook?" Su Xue'er was a little unbelievable, her eyes widened in surprise, looking at Chi Rui: "Besides, your legs..."

She didn't dare say that he had a disabled leg and it was inconvenient for him.

"My legs don't hurt anymore, you go and rest." Chi Rui used a commanding tone.

Su Xueer nodded, not wanting to say anything like it was inconvenient for him.

To say so is undoubtedly to say that he is a useless waste.

So she obeyed and went to her room.

Just wait and see what kind of dinner Chi Rui can make.

After a while, he ran out and asked, "Sanlang, do you need help?"

"No need, go and rest." This was the same reply.

I don’t know how long I waited, but Su Xueer actually fell asleep on the kang.

Chi Rui turned his wheelchair to her side, but she showed no signs of waking up.
