Chapter 720 Bone Correction Part 2
Manbao held his upper arm with both hands, exactly where she had held it just now, but this time she held it with both hands and only pulled back, which would save a lot of effort and require more strength.
Zhou Silang finally realized something was wrong, but before he could say anything, Doctor Ji had already grasped his lower arm and said, "Alright, I'll count three, two, one, and we'll push together."
"Three, two, one—"
What rang out in the room was Zhou Silang's screams...
Doctor Ji continued to push, saying repeatedly: "Keep going, keep going, okay, slowly relax... Yes, that's it, let's do it a few more times..."
Zhou Silang, who had just fallen silent, opened his eyes wide, tears streaming down his face, "Doctor Ji, Doctor Ji..."
Doctor Ji comforted him casually, "It's always like this when it comes to bone straightening. It's better to feel pain now than to suffer pain day and night in the future. Come on, Manbao, I'll count to three, two, one and we'll continue..."
By the time it was over, not only Manbao and Doctor Ji, but even Daji was sweating all over, not to mention Zhou Silang.
Zhou Silang’s voice was hoarse from shouting, and he sat in the chair sobbing in grievance.
Doctor Ji was very tired. He waved to Manbao and said, "Apply the medicine to your fourth brother."
Manbao agreed.
Doctor Ji took out an ointment and applied it to Zhou Silang. He smelled something strange and asked, "Why doesn't this smell like the ointments we usually use in our pharmacy?"
Manbao smiled and said, "I made this myself using a different recipe. I heard this ointment is a better one?"
It is said that this was naturally said by Teacher Mo, and this prescription was also mentioned in class a long time ago.
Manbao took two days to cook it.
Doctor Ji thought about it and it seemed that when Zhou Lijun went to the pharmacy to see his son the day before yesterday, he bought a lot of medicinal herbs.
Doctor Ji nodded, smelled the ointment and did not ask any further questions.
Ointments are different from prescriptions.
The latter can be widely spread by enlightened doctors to cure diseases and save lives, and may even be discussed among doctors, but the former will definitely become their own secret recipe.
For some families, a secret recipe of plaster can support a family for a hundred years. Doctor Ji knew this taboo, so he would not ask.
For example, their Jishidiang’s ointment is unique, and even his son is not qualified to know the formula.
The ointment felt a little cool, and Zhou Silang didn't feel much pain at the moment. The ointment felt quite comfortable when applied on him.
Zhou Silang's face regained some color. He watched Manbao bandage him up and then go get the wooden board. He snorted, "You still need to wear this after your bones are straightened?"
Manbao nodded, "You have to wear it. Not only do you have to wear it, but you have to tie it tightly. You can't even move your hand, so you better be honest."
Zhou Silang could only sit there and watch her bandage the wound, while Doctor Ji also sat beside him and watched.
But one is a layman watching the fun, and the other is an expert watching the fun.
Doctor Ji looked at it for a long time, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. How often do you change the ointment?"
Manbao said, "Three days, then slower, five days, and then ten days."
Doctor Ji nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, I'm relieved that you have an idea in mind. If you have any questions in the future, come and ask me."
Manbao nodded.
Zhou Silang quickly asked, "Doctor Ji, are my bones straightened?"
"I've felt it, and it should be straightened. Just be careful while you're healing. Don't move your elbow rashly, and don't use this hand until the bone has grown back..."
Although Manbao was the doctor, Doctor Ji still gave Zhou Silang some detailed instructions.
Zhou Silang now has some doubts about his sister's medical skills, so even though it gives him a headache, he still writes down everything carefully.
Seeing how painful it was for him to remember, Manbao said, "Fourth brother, lie down. I'll remember it for you."
Zhou Silang looked at her suspiciously.
Manbao said, "Fourth brother, do you think it hurts just for me or for me and Doctor Ji?"
So the pain is not because her technique is bad, but because bone setting is just painful, okay?
Manbao took Zhou Silang's right hand, patted the back of his hand and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry. Even if my bone-setting skills are not very good, the subsequent dishes are still very good. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."
If worst comes to worst, she still has Koko. She can spend points to let Koko scan it, so that she can at least see what's inside.
Zhou Silang was convinced by her and asked, "Do you still need to pull and tug like this from behind?"
Manbao shook his head, "Once the bone is straight, it won't be pulled again as long as it doesn't become crooked. But if it grows crooked, it won't be pulled, but it will have to be broken again and straightened again."
Zhou Silang shuddered when he heard this and said, "Isn't this too cruel?"
"So you stay still and don't move."
Zhou Silang nodded stiffly.
Doctor Ji listened to her threats and gave her medical advice.
He listened with a smile, then said goodbye and left.
Manbao sent Doctor Ji out, and Zhou Silang then complained to Daji, "You know that Doctor Ji's hand-holding hurts more, why didn't you remind me? I treated you like a good brother in vain."
Daji: "I thought you would like Doctor Ji's bone correction."
Zhou Silang choked and said, "How could I have known that Doctor Ji's bone setting was more painful than Manbao's?"
"A short pain is worse than a long one," Daji said. "With Miss Man's strength, she might not be able to defecate even after a whole day."
Zhou Silang said with a bitter face: "Then you should have reminded me."
Although Zhou Silang was very afraid of bone dislocation, he was unable to stay in the house until the next day after the bone was reconnected. He got up and moved to the yard to sit in the sun.
Manbao didn't stop him. After giving him some instructions, she went to the pharmacy. However, before she left the house, Chen Erlang came and brought them a load of firewood.
He came to tell them that the others had agreed to transport the grain, a total of eight people.
Zhou Silang couldn't sit still when he heard this, and said to Manbao, "My family should have received the letter by now. Once they send it over, we'll set off from here. I have a few friends here who can also be used, probably five or six people, so that's enough."
Zhou Silang was afraid that she would actually go out and hire twenty or thirty people for him, so he almost immediately took over the task. "Don't worry about it. Just go to the pharmacy and learn medicine. I'll let Lijun run errands. She's more familiar with these things than you are."
Manbao was very curious and asked, "Fourth brother, what does your friend do?"
"If you take a job like this, of course you'll be doing the hard labor. Okay, stop asking."
After sending Manbao and Chen Erlang away, Zhou Silang immediately asked Zhou Lijun to go find someone.
When Zhou Lijun heard that he was looking for San'er, he asked, "Fourth Uncle, didn't you say your friend was a laborer? How did you find San'er?"
San'er was a beggar. Zhou Lijun had seen him several times. He was very young, only about eight or nine years old. Zhou Lijun knew him because Zhou Silang took her to find him and asked him to take her around the streets and alleys.
