Chapter 143 The main point is to catch people off guard!
Old Man Tai also held the pipe tightly in his hand, but he smiled to comfort his grandson.
"Don't worry, just follow Doctor Wang's instructions. The pain will pass in a moment, and we won't have uneven legs anymore. We can run and jump freely. Then, Grandpa will take you into the mountains and roast a rabbit for you to eat!"
Tai Jizu was also heartbroken and wanted to suffer for his son, but it was impossible.
He was not good at speaking, so he could only pat his son on the back, hoping that this would give him some strength.
Tai Jizong rubbed his hands and whispered to his nephew, "Second uncle has made a cane for you. After ten days or half a month, the pain will be gone and you can go out and play."
As for Yang Lihua, Liu Dongniang, and the two little boys, they were just driven out by the old man. He was afraid that they would be frightened, and also afraid that they would cry and make their grandson more nervous.
Only Zhuzhu was kept, because in the old man's heart, his granddaughter was a little lucky star.
At times like this, with his granddaughter by his side, he could be sure that nothing would happen to his grandson...
The whole family was worried, but Old Wang didn't take it seriously at all.
In the past, even if someone’s intestines were dragged out of his stomach, he would still be able to save him.
All we have to do is reconnect the broken leg, that's easy!
He checked the items and saw that there was nothing missing, so he took a cloth and stuffed it into Tai Yongning's mouth. Then he exerted force with his hand and Tai Yongning's leg bone broke!
Tai Yongning never expected it to happen so quickly. He was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back and he passed out without even a scream.
The old man only had time to cover his granddaughter's eyes and even forgot to breathe nervously.
Unexpectedly, Zhuzhu was not afraid at all. She actually ran to hug her brother's head and comforted him in a childish voice, "Brother, get well soon! Brother, get well soon! Zhuzhu is the luckiest child. All Zhuzhu's blessings are for brother."
Old Man Wang was not as superstitious as the blind half-immortal, and he didn't think that what the little girl said would be of any real help.
But he liked the closeness and harmony among the Tai children, which was not something that could be easily faked.
In wealthy families, it is common for legitimate and illegitimate children to intrigue and suppress each other.
If they were placed in a poor family, they would be hungry and miserable, and the children would fight over any little food they had, which was both pitiful and lamentable.
But these are completely absent in the Tai family.
No matter what the three boys eat, their younger sister is the first person they think of, and the little girl will share the good things with her brothers first.
Seeing this, he, a bachelor for many years, couldn't help but regret why he didn't find a partner when he was young, otherwise he would have a house full of children and grandchildren now.
Thinking of this, he lightened his grip and tried to be more careful.
Soon, the broken bone was reconnected, applied with black ointment, wrapped with cloth strips, and fixed with a splint.
At this time, Tai Yongning also woke up.
Old Master Tai, Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong hurried forward to inquire.
"Yongning, does it hurt?"
"Did you bite your tongue? Just hold on, it will stop hurting soon."
Tai Yongning wanted to speak, but beads of sweat were already dripping down his forehead.
Zhuzhu was heartbroken. Her eldest brother always had to work, and her third and fourth brothers were mischievous and had their own "teams" to lead, so they were often not home. In fact, it was her second brother who spent the most time with her!
The second brother is the most patient. He never gets tired of playing with her, speaks gently, and even wipes her face and hands.
Sometimes, the second brother is more like an older sister.
Zhuzhu's eyes turned red as she thought about it. She tried her best to pout and blow on her brother's injured leg, hoping that it would hurt less...
Tai Yongning looked at his grandfather, father, and uncle, not wanting to make them worry, but when he saw his beloved sister like this, tears began to fall from his eyes.
"Grandpa, it hurts..."
Grandpa Tai's heart was broken into pieces. This most sensible and quiet grandson would never have said that if he wasn't in great pain.
He gently touched his grandson's forehead and coaxed him in a low voice, "Grandpa knows that Ning Ge'er is the best! Let's just bear with it, it will be fine soon. Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Only when it hurts does it mean our leg is fine. If it doesn't hurt, it means it's useless. Be good, it will be fine soon, it will be fine soon."
The old man's beard was trembling, and after he finished speaking, he quickly looked at Old Wang.
"Doctor Wang, does this child still need to drink the medicine soup? Can you add some painkillers? As long as the child suffers less, my family is not afraid of spending money. At worst, we can sell the ginseng!"
Old Wang nearly jumped up, shouting, "No, you can't sell it! It's just for pain relief, it's no big deal. I brought the herbs, I'll make the medicine right away!"
After that, he opened the medicine box he brought, poured a pill from the small porcelain bottle and fed it to Tai Yongning, and then took out another medicine bag.
Soon, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang prepared the medicinal soup. Tai Yongning forced himself to drink it and fell asleep after a while.
I don’t know if it was because the medicine took effect or because he didn’t feel the pain because he was asleep, but in any case, Tai Yongning’s face looked much better and not as pale as before.
The Tai family breathed a sigh of relief, leaving Yang Lihua to do needlework and look after Tai Yongning, while the rest of the people retreated.
Old Wang was still thinking about the ginseng, so he asked, "Brother Tai, your grandson's leg is cured. Drink the medicine for half a month and don't get hurt. I guarantee he'll be full of life in two months. Look, will you sell me that ginseng?"
Old Master Tai gave his children and grandchildren a look, and Tai Jizu and others retreated.
Grandpa Tai hugged his little granddaughter, took a few puffs from his empty pipe, and then responded, "Brother Wang, you may have heard that I am a retired wounded soldier from the border army. Even though I have been home for many years, I still miss my comrades in the army. They have sacrificed too much to resist foreign enemies.
"I'm going to keep the oldest ginseng I dug up from the mountain. I'll find a way to send it to the border later. Who knows, it might be a life-saving treasure someday.
"If you don't mind, I can give you the remaining small ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in exchange!"
What Old Wang wanted most was the big ginseng. When he heard that it couldn't be exchanged for him, his eyebrows twitched with heartache.
But Mr. Tai is not doing this out of selfishness, nor because he wants a high price. He is doing this for the soldiers who are defending their country at the border. No one can refute this reason, otherwise it would be a crime of conscience!
Old Wang hammered his teeth for a long time, then finally said, gritting his teeth, "Okay, the small ones are fine, and the Ganoderma lucidum, I'll take them all. But if you find any good medicinal herbs in your family in the future, you must sell them to me first."
Old Master Tai laughed heartily and deliberately tried to provoke him.
"That's easy to say, but it also depends on whether Brother Wang has what I want. Otherwise..."
"What do I not have?" As expected, Old Man Wang got anxious and rolled up his sleeves, shouting, "Just tell me what you want, and I have it. Even if I don't have it, I can still exchange it for it!"
Old Master Tai stopped beating around the bush and lowered his voice, "Brother Wang, our family has been targeted by an enemy. This person is secretly trying to bite us at any time, and he wants to kill us. I want to find some self-defense for my family, whether it's poison or weapons."
