Later, the whole Xuyang County, including the capital city, knew that there was a man named Zhao Chengmo who was destined to have bad luck. The timid ones didn't dare to even look at him for fear of getting involved in some bad luck.

After listening to these things, Gu Lingze sneered at them.

Things like difficult births can also be attributed to a baby's fate.

If Zhao Chengmo was really born with bad luck, then the Zhao family would have suffered a bloody disaster before.

Why was it that after the master finished speaking, the Zhao family's fate became increasingly miserable?

I'm afraid only the person who did it knows the trick.

"Lingze, you said that this kid Zhao is really like what the master said..." Aunt Tao asked hesitantly.

Gu Lingze smiled and shook his head, saying, "Aunt, if you believe me, you don't have to listen to these nonsense. Zhao Chengmo's fate is definitely not what the rumors say."

Of course Aunt Tao chose him. After all, the master from the capital was far away, but Gu Lingze, who was right in front of her, was truly capable.

Just after lunch, Zhao Chengmo came with someone on his back.

Gu Lingze asked him to put the man in the inner room and lie him down, then pulled up the man's trouser legs.

After a careful observation, Gu Lingze did not say anything, and Zhao Chengmo could only look at him anxiously.

Surprisingly, the person lying on the bed was the most relaxed, and said in a comforting tone: "If it is cured, it is a blessing. If it is not cured, it is fate."

Then he turned to look at Gu Lingze and said politely, "Excuse me, young man."

Gu Lingze admired his mentality. After he felt the position, he said, "If your leg is delayed for another ten days or half a month, even I can't completely cure it."

Hope ignited in both of them when they heard this.

"But don't worry." Gu Lingze gestured, "This brother's leg is different from Shopkeeper Qiu's. His bones are deformed now."

“So, we have to break the bones again and reconnect them.”

After saying this, Gu Lingze looked at the two of them. If they didn't believe him, he would not treat them.

"My leg is already broken. Now there is a way to cure it. All I have to do is break it ten more times. What can I not endure?" said the big brother with some self-mockery.

"Brother is straightforward. Don't worry, I will definitely cure your leg." Gu Lingze admired this elder brother more and more. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a loyal and kind person.

"Go to Doctor Li to get some medicine first. Drinking it can at least relieve some of the pain." After saying that, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription.

After writing it, she asked him to bring Doctor Li's silver needle. Zhao Chengmo nodded, took the prescription and turned to leave.

Gu Lingze prepared other things. Just like Manager Qiu did last time, he asked Uncle Xu to help him cut two flat wooden boards and prepare some cloth strips.

Zhao Chengmo came back after a while, and Doctor Li followed him.

Gu Lingze did not hide his thoughts and agreed to let Doctor Li watch and help at the same time.

Boil the herbs you brought and let them cool to the appropriate temperature.

Gu Lingze carefully compared the angles of the two legs and gave the medicine to the big brother to drink, but this time the other party did not become drowsy like Shopkeeper Qiu.

Gu Lingze took out the silver needles and inserted them into the Baliao, Futu, Xiyan, Jiexi and other acupoints. These acupoints can at least relieve some of the pain.

After everything was ready, he took out a piece of cloth and motioned for the big brother to bite it in his mouth.

But the other party shook his head and refused. Gu Lingze did not comment and prepared to take action.

Gather the spiritual energy between the two palms, find the right spot, and slap it down with force.

With a crisp sound and a muffled groan, Gu Lingze quickly adjusted the angle from his knee and pushed his leg bone upwards with force.

Even Doctor Li broke out in a cold sweat. This kind of treatment was so painful just for the person watching it.

Then Gu Lingze immediately fixed the wooden boards on both sides of the legs and instructed them as before not to get on the ground or move around.

He removed the needles from his body, put them away, and handed them to Doctor Li.

Doctor Li was still deep in thought and research, so Gu Lingze did not disturb him. He put the things aside and walked out with Zhao Chengmo first.

"This brother is not young anymore. If I don't want to have any sequelae, I will need a set of tiger bones." Gu Lingze looked at him.

Zhao Chengmo only lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "Okay, I will go to the mountains tomorrow."

"We can wait until spring. The tiger has been sleeping for the whole winter and is weak. Wouldn't it be more convenient then?" Gu Lingze was a little confused.

Zhao Chengmo himself is a hunter, so how could he not understand these principles? However, if he waits until spring, he might not be able to do it.

Seeing that the taciturn man remained silent, Gu Lingze shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk towards the main room.

Even though the other party didn't say anything, he had guessed it was almost certain. But since the other party didn't say anything, Gu Lingze didn't want to point it out.

In the afternoon, Zhao Chengmo sent half a wild boar and some nice-looking skins, with one hundred taels of silver wrapped inside the skins.

"I know this is far from enough, and I will find a way to make up for it in the future."

What about the future? He’s half dead now, Gu Lingze felt sad in his heart, then took out the silver and handed it to Zhao Chengmo.

"That's enough. We are from the same village. You took care of Jinzi before, so this is just to repay you for the favor."

But Zhao Chengmo refused to take it, so Gu Lingze, like last time, stuffed the silver into the hands of Uncle Xu who was standing beside him.

Uncle Xu had no choice but to persuade Zhao Chengmo, with a helpless smile, to take the silver back. After all, the big brother lying inside still needed to take medicine later.

Zhao Chengmo didn't have any land of his own and relied on hunting for a living, but the harvest in winter was far less abundant than when the weather was warm.

"Lingze is just like that. When he gives something away, he never takes it back. You should just keep it for yourself."

After being persuaded by Uncle Xu for a long time, Zhao Chengmo quietly put the money away. He looked at Gu Lingze's tall back, not knowing what he was thinking.

The elder brother who treated the injured leg was named Wu. Because he couldn't move, he was temporarily placed in a wing room on Gu Lingze's farm. Zhao Chengmo returned home alone at night.

There were knocks on the door early in the morning. Uncle Xu came out from the inner room, putting on his coat as he walked.

I have seen Uncle Xu once in the county town before, but he was far away and I am not sure now.

But seeing that this person was dressed richly and had jade ornaments on his body and hands, he felt that there was at least an 80% chance that he was looking for Gu Lingze.

"Excuse me, sir. Is this the residence of Master Gu Lingze?" asked the butler who had knocked on the door just now.

"Yes, what do you want with him?"

"This is our master, the county's candidate for the title of Zhen." The housekeeper gestured sideways, "My master has something important to discuss with Master Gu. Please let him know, brother."

Although the words were spoken politely, there was a hint of arrogance on his face.

After saying that, he took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and handed them over, but Uncle Xu didn't take them.

"The housekeeper of the Zhen family is so arrogant that he wants to reward my uncle with copper coins. If you have extra, give me some too."
