Chapter 175 Save a Life

For some reason, Lu Xiang felt a little sad when she saw Fu Zhi crying.

The environment here is so bad that it is really uninhabitable.

Lu Xiang said, "I'll go back and get something for you."

Lu Xianglai left in such a hurry that Village Chief Bai didn't even catch her. When Village Chief Bai arrived, she had already left the village.

After Lu Xiang went back and told her mother, her mother's eyes immediately turned red and she was full of self-blame. She had looked for it before but had never found it.

I didn't expect Fu Zhi to be so close to me. What a twist of fate.

Lu Xiang immediately went to find a quilt. Mother Lu found the steamed buns that the family was reluctant to eat and wanted to go with her.

When they got there, Mother Lu couldn't stop crying and kept saying that she regretted it.

It is really painful to see that Fu Zhi, the young girl of the past, has become an old woman.

Lu Xiang turned her back and quietly wiped away her tears.

Lu Xiang and her mother made the bedding and sent the person in to keep him warm, as the weather here was too cold.

When she returned, Mother Lu's eyes were filled with pain.

Lu Xiang said, "Mom, don't get angry. I can find a way to deal with this matter!"

Mother Lu said, "Thank you so much, if you need money, just tell me!"

The snow stopped the next morning and many people wanted to go to the county. They all wanted to try and see if they could buy things without a ticket. Lu Xiang went with them.

Lu Xiang went to the city to do some business, and after they arrived in the county town, they split up into two groups.

Lu Xiang took the note written by the village chief to find the director and explained the situation.

Everything was in accordance with the procedures, and the director was very straightforward. He said to Lu Xiang directly: "Okay, sign it."

The procedure was not complicated. After Lu Xiang signed, the official seal was affixed. The worry that had been weighing on my mind for a long time was finally put to rest.

When Lu Xiang returned, she went to Baijia Village first.

Village Chief Bai is over here. Lu Xiang showed him the official seal and documents.

Village Chief Bai said, "Oh, so that's what it is. Okay, go and pick him up!" He agreed to pick him up.

But after finishing his work, he still stayed by Lu Xiang's side, wanting to talk to her more, hoping that Lu Xiang would come up with some good ideas to revitalize Baijia Village.

Lu Xiang knew exactly what he was thinking, so she said, "Village Chief Bai, I've been busy lately. If you need me in some way when I'm free, please let me know."

Village Chief Bai was counting on this sentence. After hearing what Lu Xiang said, he was so happy that his teeth were not visible. He saw Lu Xiang take Fu Zhi away and finally found a bullock cart to transport her.

Fu Zhi's legs were severely injured and she could not walk.

So Lu Xiang thanked Village Chief Bai again and followed him back to the village.

Lu Xiang wrapped Fu Zhi tightly in a quilt.

Arrived at Dayu Village.

There was snow everywhere, but there were still many idle people gathered under the trees in the village, not afraid of the cold, and chatting here.

Seeing Lu Xiang bringing someone back, everyone gathered around. After a closer look, someone said, "Who am I thinking? Isn't this Fu Zhi?"

"Who is Fu Zhi?" Many young wives didn't know her and hurried over to ask. Only the older people knew her and explained in a low voice.

Even if you don't know who Fu Zhi is, you'll still have some recollection of what happened.

For a moment, exclamations rang out one after another.

Lu Xiang ignored these people and took Fu Zhi back home.

Fortunately, her house had many rooms, so she could spare one and the bedding was ready.

When Mother Lu heard the news, she rushed over and saw Fu Zhi being taken back. She knew that all the suffering was over! She could no longer bear her emotions and burst into tears: "Sister Fu Zhi, you have suffered!"

Fu Zhi didn't react at all, just stared at her blankly.

Lu Xiang said, "Give her a bath first, then check the injuries on her body. I'll go find Old Yang."

"Okay!" Mother Lu couldn't say anything else. She was always at a loss in such big things. Fortunately, Lu Xiang was calm.

Mother Lu hurried to boil water, and Sister Lu also came over to help.

Fu Zhi hadn't washed her body for a long time. If she soaked her skin in clean water or rubbed it gently, thick mud would appear.

Fu Zhi had wounds and frostbite all over her body, some of which were red and swollen, and some were ulcerated. She looked even more miserable.

And she was so skinny that Mother Lu couldn't help but shed tears.

They were afraid of touching her wound, so taking a bath almost exhausted all their energy.

After washing, her old clothes were already in tatters, so she found Lu Xiang's old clothes.

Lu Xiang was a little shorter than her, and Fu Zhi's sleeves and legs were very short, leaving nothing inside. This showed how thin she was.

Soon, Old Yang came over. He was the Chinese medicine doctor who diagnosed Lu Xiang with pregnancy.

He took her pulse and said, "Fu Zhi's illness is too serious."

He had seen many patients in his life, but this was the most serious case he had ever seen. It looked like he had been in deficit for many years.

His legs were injured again: "If it's any later, I'm afraid I'll have to be sent to the hospital for amputation."

Mother Lu said, "Doctor, please, we will treat you no matter how much it costs!" Fu Zhi, who was lying on the bed, looked at Mother Lu.

Old Yang said, "It's not a question of money. This medicine is only available in the county's traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy." He then wrote out a prescription, which was full of precious Chinese medicines.

Old Yang said: "This is for internal use first, and for external use as well. You need to take a bath every day, apply thick layers of Chinese medicine on your knees, and also do acupuncture!" Just what he said was very troublesome.

After a pause, Old Yang added, "Even so, there's no guarantee that her leg can be saved. It's just a try, and it'll cost a lot."

Lu Xiang asked, "How much will it cost?"

Old Yang said, "At least two hundred yuan!"

Two hundred is not a small amount of money. Many families cannot save this much money in a year.

Mother Lu said without a single stutter, "I'll pay for it. You prescribe the medicine first."

When Old Yang heard this, he immediately prescribed some medicine: "This is to warm up the body first. If you don't adjust your body well, no matter how expensive the medicine is, it will be useless. You can only take it step by step!"

The medicine that Old Yang prescribed was already available at home.

I'll get the medicine here first. He said that I can use the good medicine from the county in three days!

Fu Zhi's condition was a major challenge for the doctor. He had never seen such a serious patient before. Furthermore, he didn't care about the money. This was quite rare in the countryside.

Now we are eager to cure the patient.

Sister Lu went to boil medicine, and Mother Lu accompanied her.

Lu Xiang said, "I heard she didn't eat anything yesterday. I'm going to make something easier to digest."

Sister Lu said, "Let's make some cabbage." Cabbage is mild and easy to digest. Her body was so weak that she couldn't eat rich food all of a sudden.

The dumpling soup that Lu Xiang made was made with white flour. It tasted smooth and delicious, much better than coarse grains and brown rice.
