Liu Xiaojun walked in and saw an old man with a sad look half lying on a simple bed.

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and the words "face to the earth and back to the sky" were almost carved on his forehead.

Even with the thin quilt covering him, one could tell he was shivering from the cold.

Liu Xiaojun grabbed his grandfather's hand and took the opportunity to take his pulse.

"Is this my grandpa? How is he? What did the doctor say?"

The old lady was originally happy because her grandson came, but when she heard her grandson asking about the old man, her face suddenly became full of worry.

"My leg was seriously injured when I was fixing the roof beams. The doctor said it can't be saved and must be amputated."

Grandpa sighed.

The old lady also stood by and said:

"The old man refused to agree, saying that a broken leg would be a burden to the family. Look, he's been dragging his feet and refusing to get treatment."

Liu Xiaojun knew that medicine was not well developed back then, and doctors would usually recommend amputation directly if a leg was broken.

But there are other ways.

He thought about many Chinese medicine options for treating legs and found that the most amazing one was acupuncture.

But now he doesn’t have any knowledge about acupuncture.

"Is there a Chinese medicine doctor in the team?" Liu Xiaojun asked casually.

"Yes, yes. Speaking of that Chinese doctor, I call him uncle. He said that he could have cured your grandfather's illness ten years ago, but now his hands are shaking and he can't give acupuncture, so he can't cure it."

Liu Xiaojun nodded after hearing this.

Hand shaking?

His master, Wang the Fitter, also had this problem, but he didn't have the medical skills to know how to treat it.

But now that I have picked up the medical skills, I can show it to Master Wang when I return to the city.

"Grandma, you and my mom should go cook first. I'm a little hungry."

"Oh, there's a rabbit I brought in that sack. Ask Mom to stew it for lunch. I eat a lot, so ask Mom to stew more and invite my uncle and his family to come and eat."

Liu Xiaojun wanted to send the two men away so that he could check on his grandfather's leg alone.

"Okay." When the old lady heard that her grandson was hungry, she followed him out.

Grandpa also said: "Mother-in-law, cook the cornmeal for lunch thicker, don't let my grandson go hungry."

"You old fool, you don't even know how much food your eldest grandson has given us. We don't eat cornmeal at noon, we eat white rice and white flour!"

The old lady said with a proud look on her face.

"Old woman, you're talking nonsense in broad daylight. Don't you know the situation of your grandson's family? How can you afford to buy white flour and rice?"

Grandpa was anxious and wanted to get out of bed excitedly.

"Oh, Grandpa, just take a rest and wait for the meal."

Liu Xiaojun hurriedly supported him.

The old lady didn't listen to grandpa and went out immediately.

Don’t let his good grandson go hungry, I have to cook.

After a while, the smell of food came from the kitchen, mixed with exclamations from time to time.

"Huizhen, why did you add so much oil? This life is unbearable..."

"Huizhen, the meat can't be stewed too much, otherwise it will make you hungry..."

“…”

In grandpa's room, Liu Xiaojun did pull open the quilt covering his grandpa.

"Grandpa, can I see your legs?"

"What's wrong with that? Look." Grandpa just thought it was out of curiosity.

Liu Xiaojun looked at his grandfather's legs and pressed the upper part:

"Does it hurt here?"

Suddenly, Liu Xiaojun spoke.

This voice makes people want to answer as soon as they hear it.

Grandpa was stunned. How could this tone be exactly the same as that of the old woman's uncle, an old Chinese doctor?

But he couldn't help answering:

"It hurts, but I feel it."

"Here?"

“It’s also sentient.”

I searched many places and found that they were all more or less conscious.

Liu Xiaojun finally felt relieved:

"Grandpa, what I'm about to say might be a little scary."

"I can cure this disease, but it requires acupuncture, and I don't have needles."

Grandpa: “???”

I couldn’t believe it at first, and I still couldn’t believe it in the end!

"My dear grandson, please don't make fun of me. I know this leg is probably useless. I'm just making a last stand. When it can't hold out any longer, it will have to be amputated."

"Grandpa, I'm not kidding you. I studied Chinese medicine with a master before, but I kept this a secret from my mother, so she never knew."

"My previous heart disease was cured by that master."

Seeing that his grandfather still had doubts, Liu Xiaojun had to tell a little lie.

"Yes, Xiaojun...Xiaojun, is your heart disease healed?" Grandpa looked shocked.

The child has always had heart disease, so he and his wife always save some herbal medicine and give it to Huizhen for the child to take home and boil for water to drink.

Unexpectedly, the child's heart disease was cured.

What about my legs???

Is there really hope?

Grandpa grabbed Xiaojun's shoulders, which hurt a little.

"My dear grandson, you are not kidding me, can this disease of mine really be cured?"

Liu Xiaojun nodded solemnly. Although the leg could be cured, his grandfather actually suffered from another serious disease - epidemic encephalitis B.

Japanese encephalitis, also known as "encephalitis."

If Liu Xiaojun remembered correctly, the disease broke out severely in Beijing and Tianjin, with the mortality rate even reaching 30%.

Moreover, in 1959, a serious "encephalitis" disease broke out in Shijiazhuang, and the mortality rate of this disease in Shijiazhuang was as high as 50% at one time.
