Chapter 279 One After Another
The Zhou family looked at Manbao in amazement.
Finally, the slightly more experienced Old Zhou pinched it. After confirming that it hurt and that he didn't need to use too much force, he asked doubtfully, "Broken? How did you fall?"
Manbao tried to recall it, but found that he couldn't remember it. "It just fell with a thud."
"Shouldn't that be a pain in the butt?"
"I was face down with my hands pressed down." Manbao still remembered this.
Old Zhoutou was not sure, "How about taking him to Dali Village to have a look?"
Anyway, it's not dark yet. If we walk faster, we should be able to get back by night. If our hand is broken, there's no need to rush back. We can just stay at Fang's house.
So Old Zhou looked at Zhou Silang and said, "Didn't you fall too? Take your sister to see a doctor. It would be best if she's okay."
Zhou Silang had no objection and asked his mother for money.
Qian came into the house to give him some money and said, "Go with your wife."
If you want to stay overnight, it would be better to bring your daughter-in-law with you.
Zhou Silang was even happier. He asked Fang to pack up briefly and then took Manbao out.
He was limping and walking very slowly, obviously determined to stay overnight.
"Can you walk on your own? I don't want to carry you."
Manbao glanced at his butt and nodded in understanding. Now her hands were hanging down and it didn't hurt at all.
She asked Koko in her heart, "Is my hand broken?"
The host's health was still very important. It couldn't scan others, but scanning the host's health could offset energy consumption points with the main system. So after scanning once, it said, "No."
When Manbao heard this, he was delighted. He simply swung his hands and strode forward, surpassing Thursday at one point.
Zhou Silang was stunned and couldn't help but ask Fang: "She is not lying to us, is she?"
How can the shaking of this hand look like a broken bone?
Fang glanced at him and said, "Do you think everyone is like you?"
Xiao Qian at home was a little worried, while Old Zhou poured a bowl of water and sat in the yard drinking it slowly.
Qian didn't go back to the house either. She sat with him in the yard and asked, "Is Manbao's hand really broken?"
"It's probably dislocated," Old Zhou said with a smile. "Let Fourth Brother take it to the doctor and he can straighten it. It's better than letting it break on its own."
He still had some experience. As for the broken hand, it was just to scare Manbao so that she wouldn't be clumsy and not know the seriousness of the situation.
But I dislocated my joint when I fell off the bed...
Old Zhou frowned and said, "Manbao is quite naughty, why is he still so timid?"
Who hasn't fallen off the bed? No one has ever dislocated their joints after falling.
When Qian heard him speak so confidently, she knew that he was very sure of it, and she felt relieved.
Dali Village is not far from Qili Village. The three of them only brought a few things with them and walked quickly and easily. They arrived in just over two quarters of an hour.
They didn't go to Fang's house first, but went directly to the old doctor.
Although the old doctor's door was open, he was no longer seeing patients. After all, it was past dinner time, so everyone could just wash up and go to bed.
But if a patient comes to visit, he will still see him.
Not only he, a country doctor, but also doctors in the county town and even the provincial capital's pharmacies would not drive patients away unless they saw that the patient was doomed to die.
So the old doctor quickly came from the backyard and sat in the front hall.
Seeing the three people coming in, he subconsciously glanced at Manbao first. Seeing that she didn't look sick, he looked at Zhou Silang who was limping and asked, "Did you fall?"
Zhou Silang was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied "yes", but he pushed Manbao forward and said, "But it's not me who will see it, it's my youngest sister. Doctor, can you take a look at her hand and see if it's broken?"
The old doctor couldn't help but move closer and asked, "Did you fall too?"
Manbao stretched out his right hand and said, "I fell off the bed and my hand was pressed."
The old doctor sat up straight, shook her hand, and asked jokingly, "Can you break your hand by falling off the bed?"
He felt it, asked a few questions, and finally said with a smile: "It's not broken, it's dislocated. I'll fix it for you in a moment."
As he spoke, he shook Manbao's hand, and with a click, it was done. Then he took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the medicine cabinet, "Here, take it back and apply it, twice a day, and it will be healed in two days."
Manbao twisted it himself and found that it was not as painful as before, but there was still a slight soreness.
The old doctor didn't take it seriously. He wasn't some particularly skilled doctor, so how could he restore a dislocated arm to its original state with just a click?
The old doctor applied the medicine to Manbao once, then handed the remaining medicine to Zhou Silang, and finally stared at him.
Zhou Silang first asked quietly, "Doctor, how much is my youngest sister's?"
If it's too expensive, he won't look at it.
The old doctor was used to it and said, "Your youngest sister is a regular customer. I will only charge her for the medicine. Thirty cents will be enough."
Zhou Silang's expression relaxed, and he touched his waist and said, "I fell down, and my butt and waist hurt."
The old doctor took Zhou Silang to the inner room for a checkup. He came out soon and met Man Bao's gaze. He said slowly, "It's okay. It's not broken or twisted. It's just a bit bruised. Just rest for two days and apply medicated wine regularly. It will be fine."
The old doctor asked, "Can you get another bottle of medicinal wine?"
Zhou Silang hurriedly dressed and rushed out of the inner room, saying, "No, no, I'll just use what's left of Manbao, and I have some medicinal wine at home."
"All right, then just give me five cents."
Zhou Silang was happy, but he didn't take out the money immediately. Instead, he pulled Fang forward and said with a smile, "Doctor, would you mind checking my wife as well?"
The old doctor could no longer conceal his surprise. He looked Fang up and down for a long moment and asked, "You fell too? Where did you fall?"
Fang's face flushed.
"Look at what you said. I have to be injured before I come to you." Zhou Silang chuckled and said, "I want you to check if my wife is pregnant."
The old doctor calculated that Fang had been married for two months, so he held out his hand and said, "Sit down and let me take a look."
Fang quickly sat down and took his pulse.
The old doctor half closed his eyes and gently placed his hand on Fang's hand. After a long time, he changed his hand and touched her for a long time.
The old doctor withdrew his hand and said, "It does look a bit like a slippery pulse, but you won't live long. Go home and recuperate first, and come back in a month. But you have to be careful in your daily life and don't do heavy work, especially carrying water or wheat."
Zhou Silang said, "Look at what you said. Do we have a family that would let our daughter-in-law fetch water or carry wheat?"
The old doctor just smiled.
In the countryside, women are the main people who carry water. On the contrary, men who are stronger rarely carry water because it involves a matter of face.
There are very few families like the Zhou family that have a rule that men must fetch water.
