When Yun Dashu heard this, he quickly tapped his pipe.
"Oh, good."
As he said this, he looked at Zhu Jiumei again and smiled innocently.
"Look, old woman, I told you Comrade Su is kind-hearted!"
Zhu Jiumei was so angry at Yun Dashu's silly look that she felt amused, and tied another circle of straw rope on Su Man's shoes.
The mountain roads are all slippery muddy, and rain boots are not slip-resistant.
Villagers usually wear straw sandals, which are light and non-slip.
"Comrade Su, drive slowly."
"If it doesn't work, we won't try to be brave and let your uncle carry you down the mountain."
Zhu Jiumei tied the straw rope around Su Man and looked up to give Yun Dashu a push.
"You're so bored every day. Go and carry some corn up."
Actually, the widow on the mountain is Zhu Jiumei's distant cousin.
However, she married and moved to another place that year, and we haven't had any contact over the years.
Not long ago, she moved back with that crazy woman.
She said that all the men in that place had died, and this crazy woman was her sister-in-law.
I brought him back because there was really no one to take care of him, so I lived with him.
Now her family members have either left or died, and the only relative she can still count is Zhu Jiumei.
Otherwise, Yun Dashu wouldn't have responded so quickly.
Zhu Jiumei packed a bag of corn for Yun Dashu and also took some pickles and steamed buns from home.
Yun Dashu carried the weapon on his shoulders and, leaning on a stick, called out to Su Man to follow.
"Let's go, Comrade Su, let's go up the mountain!"
The way up the mountain was more difficult than Su Man had imagined. Yun Dashu took her health into consideration and stopped frequently while walking.
It was almost noon when the two of them arrived at the house halfway up the mountain.
Yun Dashu walked to the door, put down the bag on his back, and knocked on the door.
"Zhu Wangdi, I found a doctor to check your legs. Open the door!"
“Come, come!”
I only heard a crackling sound in the room.
"Get in there, or I'll kill you!"
Zhu Wangdi cursed a few times and then opened the door.
She was limping on one leg and standing against the wall.
When I saw Yun Dashu, tears came to my eyes.
"Oh, brother-in-law, you're finally here. I was starving to death."
"My legs hurt so badly..."
As she spoke, she stepped aside to let the two of them in.
It can be seen that she moved back temporarily.
There was nothing in the room except a bed and a cabinet.
There were two stools, one for her to sit on and one for her feet.
There was a barn behind the room, which was now locked, and there were rustling sounds coming from inside.
It's obvious that no one has lived in this house for a long time, and there's no food in the barn, so it's impossible for a mouse to get in.
Could it be the crazy woman they were talking about?
Su Man frowned and couldn't help but look at it twice more.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Zhu Wangdi raised her hand towards Su Man and said rudely.
"You are the barefoot doctor in the village, right? Although I don't really trust the medical skills of you barefoot doctors."
"There's nothing I can do now. Please take a good look at me."
"If you don't see it well, I won't forgive you!"
Su Man frowned and pretended to leave with the medicine box on her back.
"Since you don't trust me so much, why don't you let the village chief send you directly to the town hospital?"
Seeing Su Man turning around to leave, Zhu Wangdi's arrogance suddenly subsided.
He lowered his head and said pitifully.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to cure me and leave me disabled."
"It would be fine if I were alone, but there's a crazy woman I have to take care of, right?"
"What will she do if something happens to me?"
Yun Dashu helped put the food into the kitchen. When he heard what Zhu Wangdi said, he retorted in a bad mood.
"She treated all the injured people in our village this time, and every one of them praised her excellent medical skills."
"You're still picky here? If you want to see it, let's go down the mountain."
Zhu Wangdi nodded quickly: "Let's take a look."
She quickly lifted her legs and let Su Man sit down.
"Doctor, don't be angry, please take a look at me."
Su Man didn't sit down either, but lifted Zhu Wangdi's legs and looked at them.
It's either a fracture or a dislocation.
But because it was delayed for a long time, the bones were a little dislocated.
"Just bear with it..."
Before Zhu Wangdi could come to her senses and figure out what to endure, she saw Su Man raise her hand and twist and press.
With two clicks, Zhu Wangdi let out a pig-slaughtering howl.
"It hurts so much..."
Su Man quickly found two wooden boards to fix Zhu Wangdi's legs, and then tied them with gauze to ensure that they would not move.
Only then did he have time to wipe the sweat off his face, hold his waist and take a deep breath.
"It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. For the next two or three months, it's best if you don't move around."
"Otherwise, if you really become a cripple, I won't be responsible."
After the initial pain passed, it seemed to be less painful.
Zhu Wangdi grinned and looked at Su Man, somewhat unsure.
"You mean, I can't go down the mountain for the next three months?"
"Then, what should we do?"
She still has a lot of things to do and needs to go down the mountain!
Yun Dashu squatted outside, took out his pipe and took a puff.
After a long time, he frowned.
"My wife and I are worried about you living here alone."
"It's not a big deal to send some food, but your leg is injured, so you'll definitely need to apply some medicine or something later."
"That's a bit inconvenient. Why don't you move down the mountain and live with us?"
"Anyway, the old house at home is empty, and it's rare for my Chengcai to come back..."
He wasn't afraid of the trouble, but if Dr. Su were to crawl up and down with a big belly, and something bad happened to her, he would never be able to rest in peace with his conscience for the rest of his life!
