Chapter 235: Checking the Injury
Manbao's eyes lit up, "Can you show it to me?"
"If the host wants to read books, he can only purchase them with points."
"Buy it!" Manbao felt that this kind of book was very useful. Apart from anything else, her family members were often sick. Once she had read all these books, she wouldn't have to wait for a doctor in a hurry when she encountered an emergency. She would be able to see the doctor herself.
"Let's buy the most basic one first?" Otherwise, it would be a waste to spend the points. Anyway, the prices of the books in the encyclopedia will not increase.
Manbao nodded.
Koko watched and bought it for her.
Seeing her nodding her head with a serious look on her face, Zhou Dalang endured the pain and asked, "What did you see?"
Manbao said seriously, "Brother, you might have internal bleeding from being kicked, but it shouldn't be serious. Just lie here and don't move."
Zhou Dalang: "...Little sister is so amazing now, she can even treat illnesses?"
Manbao was honest: "Not yet, but soon, soon."
Zhou Dalang: ...
Xiao Qian was the head chef. Although she was worried about Zhou Dalang, she only had time to bring him a bowl of hot water. After asking if he was okay, she went back to the kitchen.
But on the other hand, after confirming that all the injured villagers were not fatally injured, the village chief winked at Lao Zhou, and everyone quietly walked out of Lao Zhou's house and found a free place outside to talk.
There was no way. Old Zhou's house was too busy now. Some were cooking, some were washing vegetables, some were taking care of the wounded, and some were idle and had not been used. Seeing that the roof of Old Zhou's house was badly damaged, they helped go into the house to pick up the fallen tiles.
There was nothing they could do on the roof for the time being. After all, it was already dark. If one of them missed a step and fell down, it would be a disaster.
However, many people told Zhou Erlang that they would come to help early tomorrow morning, and at the same time reminded Zhou Erlang to quickly buy tiles so that they could help put them in place. Otherwise, it would be terrible if it rained with such a large area of the roof exposed.
Old Zhou left these voices far behind him. The village chief walked to the river with his hands behind his back. Seeing that no one was around, he asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Old Zhou squatted on the ground with a headache, holding his head and said, "I don't know."
"Uncle Jin, you have to think about this matter whether you want to or not. Let me ask you, are they here for Uncle Yin?"
Although Zhou Yin is not older than his eldest son, the village chief still has to call him uncle because of their seniority.
Old Zhou was silent for a moment before saying, "With so many people here, we don't have a chance to ask. Besides, even if we asked, they wouldn't necessarily answer. What do you think we should do?"
"Just now, several elders told me that if they are really looking for Uncle Xiaoyin, we can only keep our mouth shut. Otherwise, the people in our village..."
Old Zhou immediately said, "Don't worry, if we can't hide it any longer, we won't implicate anyone in the village. But I don't think they're good people."
Old Zhou said, "Mr. Zhuang is very knowledgeable. He said they are fake. I think they are hiding their true intentions and they really don't seem like good people."
Of course the village chief knew this, and the reason he acquiesced to everyone's action was because he saw this point.
I know it, but I always have doubts in my heart, afraid of what if something happens?
Old Zhou knew that the village chief was afraid, and in fact he was afraid too, but he had to comfort him, and also comfort himself.
He lowered his voice and said, "They couldn't find anything six years ago. Six years have passed. What do you think they can find out?"
Yes, they were the ones who carried the person back and buried him. We couldn’t find out at that time, and it would be even more difficult to find out now.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Okay, I'll call the heads of each household to a meeting later, and we'll keep this a secret."
"As for the Bai family..."
The village chief paused and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Bai. He was willing to cover up for us back then, so it shouldn't be a problem now."
Only then did Old Zhou finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Zhou family was bustling with activity. Soon, the doctor arrived on a cart pushed by Zhou Liulang and his men. As soon as he entered the house, he knew that the remains were from a gang fight. He frowned and asked, "Which village did you fight with?"
In the countryside, most fights are between villages. The old doctor thought about it and was confused. "There's enough water here, it's enough to drown people. Why are you still fighting over water?"
Basically, fights are either over water or over land, but I haven’t heard of any village having a land dispute recently.
The village chief coughed lightly and said, "We didn't fight with the locals. It was three bastards who came from nowhere and tried to deceive our villagers. Our children were almost taken away. We got so excited that we started fighting. Do you think they're okay?"
The old doctor exclaimed, "Oh my!" "Did you run into a beggar? Did you beat someone to death?"
The village chief was startled and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, please don't scare me. Are we that kind of people? We were arrested, and we are being held by the Bai family now."
The old doctor also breathed a sigh of relief. As he expertly applied medicine and bandaged the patient, he said, "It's good that no one is dead. Go ahead and beat them. Those thugs deserve to be hacked to pieces. Don't take human life for yourself. Well, your bone isn't broken, it's dislocated. I'll massage it and put it back in place."
The old doctor looked at the medicine they used and felt a little distressed. "This is good medicine. Why do you need medicine for such a small amount of bleeding? Look, the cut is so small, the bleeding will stop without medicine."
Injured: ...
Seeing Zhou Dalang, he felt his pulse and pressed his stomach. After a long look, he said, "It's okay, it's okay. There's some bleeding. Fortunately, you took the medicine. I'll prescribe you three more days of medicine. Boil it up and drink it soon. It will stop the bleeding and dissolve the blood stasis."
He also warned Qian, who was sitting beside him, "Pay attention to your stomach at night. If your stomach feels bloated, call me immediately."
Qian agreed.
The one who was most seriously injured was Zhou Dalang. The others mostly had external injuries, and either needed to stop bleeding or reduce swelling and blood stasis. These doctors were quite skilled and they treated everyone quickly.
Xiao Qian also brought people to prepare the food, and then the tables and chairs moved from various houses were placed in the two courtyards. The old doctor and Mr. Zhuang were seated at the seats of honor, and everyone then had this belated dinner.
On the other side of the river, the Bai family had finished their dinner.
Mrs. Liu put down her chopsticks, took the water to rinse her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to her daughter-in-law, "Shanbao has been making a fuss today. I'm afraid he's frightened. Ask the kitchen to make him a bowl of calming soup. You can go and sleep with him tonight."
Zheng agreed.
Liu stood up and held the nanny's hand, saying, "Okay, I'll go down and rest now. You take good care of Shanbao."
Zheng naturally listened to her mother-in-law.
Liu held the nanny's hand and walked out of the dining room, but did not return to the house. Instead, she went to the back of the backyard.
