Lin Qinghuan transmigrated into the body of a pitiable girl who was not doted on by her father, disliked by her mother, detested by her brother, and schemed against by her sister. Facing unfair tre...
Lin Qinghuan slowly stood up and looked at the middle-aged man. She saw that the worry on his face had disappeared, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were filled with joy.
The middle-aged man said gratefully to Lin Qinghuan, "Thank you, young lady, thank you so much."
Lin Qinghuan smiled and said nonchalantly, "It was nothing, no need to thank me."
Lin Qinghuan is a medical student, and she is happy to be able to help others.
"Girl, it's a small matter for you, but it's an immense kindness to us," the girl's mother said with tears in her eyes. Seeing her child suffer, she wished she could take the pain herself.
Lin Piaoxue was shocked. Lin Qinghuan actually knew how to set bones? Who taught her? Why didn't her family know?
When Wei Xiao saw the incredulous expression on Lin Piaoxue's face, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes. Lin Qinghuan knew medicine, but the Lin family didn't know. Could it be that she learned it secretly?
Lin Qinghuan looked at the girl, then squatted down and said to her, "Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."
The girl extended her hand, her face filled with gratitude, and said shyly, "Thank you, sister."
Lin Qinghuan smiled slightly at the girl, placed her fingers on her wrist to take her pulse, and after a moment, Lin Qinghuan released her hand and said, "The other hand."
The girl extended her other hand. After taking her pulse, Lin Qinghuan said, "Your internal organs are not damaged, but your body is too weak. If possible, you should nourish yourself properly and eat more pork liver and eggs."
The middle-aged man felt very sad. He looked at the girl with guilt. His family had no money and couldn't afford pig liver. He was lucky if he could eat an egg occasionally.
Lin Qinghuan noticed that the girl's family had patches on their clothes, so they must not be well-off. Moreover, it was 1982, not long after the land was distributed to individual households, so it was already quite good if they could have enough to eat and wear.
Lin Qinghuan looked at the middle-aged man, sighed, and said, "Uncle, I've already set your daughter's foot, but we need to apply some herbs to reduce swelling and promote blood circulation. We also need to use a splint to immobilize her ankle to prevent it from moving and causing the bone to grow crooked. I'll also prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for internal use, taking care of both internal and external factors. It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury, so she shouldn't do any work for a while and should rest. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion; you should go to the hospital and have a doctor take a look."
The girl's mother looked at Lin Qinghuan anxiously and asked, "Girl, can you help us?"
Lin Qinghuan frowned and said, "Auntie, I don't have any herbs on me, so I can't help you even if I wanted to."
Li Wei asked, "Don't you have any money?"
The middle-aged man pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket—some 10-cent notes, some 1-yuan notes, and even some 1-cent coins—and looked at Lin Qinghuan pleadingly, saying, "Girl, I'll give you all this money. Could you find some herbs nearby to apply to my daughter's wounds?"
Lin Qinghuan looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly; he really dared to say that.
Qin Zhen's lips twitched, and he said, "Brother, you stopped a car when you had no money. You were lucky to run into us. If you had run into someone who was drunk driving, you would have run them over. You wouldn't have been able to save your daughter, and you would have gotten yourself into trouble. Don't be so reckless next time. Also, all the money you have is only a few dollars in total. It won't be enough even if you get to the hospital."
The girl's mother pleaded with Lin Qinghuan, crying, "Girl, you know medicine, please help us. Find some herbal medicine for my daughter to apply so she can suffer less. We'll do anything to repay you."
Lin Piaoxue said with dissatisfaction, "We need to hurry on our journey and don't have time to find herbs for you."
The girl's mother looked at Lin Qinghuan pitifully. Lin Qinghuan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. What was going on?
Lin Qinghuan looked at the money in the middle-aged man's hand. The girl had arrived at the hospital and needed a cast and medication, so the money was definitely not enough.
Lin Qinghuan looked around. There were mountains everywhere, so it shouldn't be hard to find herbs. She said, "I don't want your money. I can help you look around for herbs that can help reduce swelling and promote blood circulation."
The middle-aged man bowed and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, thank you, young lady. You're a good person, and good things will surely come your way."
Lin Qinghuan smiled and started climbing the mountain from the embankment. The middle-aged man quickly followed and said, "Miss, I'll go up the mountain with you to gather herbs."
Qin Zhen followed behind Lin Qinghuan. Wei Xiao took a step forward but then pulled back, feeling extremely annoyed, as he was always a step too late.
Lin Qinghuan and the others searched high and low on the mountain and actually found some herbs that could remove blood stasis, reduce swelling, and promote blood circulation.
As Lin Qinghuan pulled at the herbs, she said with a smile, "Your daughter is lucky. With these herbs applied externally, her injuries will heal much faster."
Qin Zhen looked up at the sky and said, "Qing Huan, we should go back. We can't keep Wei Xiao and the others waiting."
Lin Qinghuan looked at the herbs in her hand, enough for the girl to apply twice, and said, "Okay, let's go back!"
After descending the mountain, Lin Qinghuan walked up to the girl and said, "Crush these herbs, mix them well, and apply them to your ankles. When you get back, find some small wooden boards to fix your ankles in place and rest in bed."
"Thank you, thank you." The girl's mother accepted the herbs and thanked her repeatedly.
"You're welcome," Lin Qinghuan said. "These herbs are all very common. If you need to change the medicine in the future, you can just go to the mountain to find them yourself."
The young man looked at Lin Qinghuan and felt extremely fortunate; his sister had met a benefactor today.
Lin Qinghuan looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "Brother Qin Zhen, do you have paper and pen?"
"It's in the car," Qin Zhen replied.
Qin Zhen took a notebook and a pen from the car and handed them to Lin Qinghuan.
Lin Qinghuan took the pen and paper, wrote a prescription on the paper, looked at the young man standing by the roadside, and waved to him.
The young man jogged up to Lin Qinghuan and asked, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
Lin Qinghuan handed the paper to the young man and said, "This is the prescription. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl and drink it, once in the morning and once at night. Drink it for three days."
The young man carefully accepted the prescription and said with delight, "Thank you, young lady. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Lin Qinghuan laughed and said, "I don't need you to repay me. Just protect your sister well from now on and don't let her be bullied again."
When Lin Qinghuan saw the girl, she was reminded of the original owner of the body, who was often bullied. This stirred her compassion, which was one of the reasons why she was willing to help the girl.
The young man said firmly, "I will never let anyone bully my sister again."
Lin Qinghuan nodded with a smile and said, "Sometimes, being tolerant can be misunderstood as weakness."
After Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, she got into the car and closed the door.
Qin Zhen fastened Lin Qinghuan's seatbelt and said with a smile, "Qinghuan, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so good."
Lin Qinghuan smiled and said, "I'm a little bit better than you think."
Looking at Lin Qinghuan's proud demeanor, Qin Zhen laughed and said, "She is indeed more outstanding than I imagined. She's truly remarkable."
