After Liu Ruonan cleaned up, she poured a basin of hot water, then helped Tian Ni sit on the bed, gently rolled up her trouser legs, and put Tian Ni's feet in the hot water.
"Grandma, can you try this temperature?"
The hot water was very hot, and in the summer, the temperature was even higher. Tian Ni was so hot that she didn't dare to stretch her feet.
"Ouch, ouch, it's too hot."
Liu Ruonan smiled softly and said to Tian Ni gently, "Then grandma, you can just step on the edge of the basin and use the hot steam to fumigate it."
After that, Liu Ruonan took out some plasters from her bag. Because she was in a hurry today, she only made ten plasters in total. But it was enough for Tian Ni to use for a while.
Liu Ruonan filled another basin with hot water, soaked a towel in it, and applied the hot towel to Tian Ni's knees. Tian Ni had previously felt a warm current flowing between her knees, which was quite comfortable.
"In the past, when my legs hurt so much that I couldn't bear it, I would apply cold water to them. I always thought the colder the better, and the pain would be less if it was icy." Tian Ni said with a smile, but she had never used hot water to apply water to them.
"Grandma, you have old cold legs. There is already coldness in your legs. How can you apply cold water on them? Don't do this in the future." While Liu Ruonan was speaking, she had already taken away the hot towel, then tore off a plaster and carefully applied it on Tian Ni's leg.
Liu Ruonan is very careful in her work. Even when applying plasters, she can make sure there is not a single wrinkle.
"This thing looks black. Does it really work?" Tian Ni looked at Liu Ruonan in disbelief.
In the countryside at that time, where had plasters been seen? Rich people might go to the city hospital for treatment and buy ordinary plasters, but they had never seen anything like this. Furthermore, the village clinic only provided acupuncture and Western medicine; there wasn't even a Chinese medicine practitioner. This kind of treatment was completely new to them.
Liu Ruonan patted the plaster one last time to make it stick more firmly, then raised her head and looked at Tian Ni, still with a sweet smile on her lips.
"Grandma, try it for two days. At first, it will feel cool, but gradually it will feel a bit hot and painful. You must be patient at this time and don't give up halfway. If you feel it works, keep using it. If you feel it doesn't work, tear it off."
Not only did Tian Ni not believe in herself, but even the entire village had few people who believed in her. But she was the only one who knew her medical skills. She said this because she was convinced that after applying the plaster, Tian Ni would definitely feel something.
Tian Ni smiled and nodded. No matter whether her medical skills were real or not, at least it was true that she liked this child.
Tian Ni held Liu Ruonan's hand and talked for a long time. As she spoke, she thought of her poor daughter and cried for a long time. Liu Ruonan kept comforting her, and Tian Ni finally felt a little embarrassed.
Tian Ni had been reluctant to let Liu Ruonan go. It seemed like after living so long, she finally had someone willing to sit down and listen to her talk. She loved this feeling. This endless entanglement was not a solution. Finally, under Chen Wanglong's persuasion, Tian Ni reluctantly let Liu Ruonan go.
Chen Lei sent Liu Ruonan to the door of her home. Only after seeing Liu Ruonan enter the house did he leave with peace of mind.
On the third day, Tian Ni asked Chen Wanglong to call Liu Ruonan to her home. Tian Ni was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and kept holding Liu Ruonan's hand.
"Nannanya, you know what? My leg hurt so much yesterday, it felt like ants were biting me. I wanted to tear it off, but your grandpa wouldn't let me. Today, it doesn't hurt that much."
It seems that Liu Ruonan's medicine really works.
"That's the effect of the medicine. Now the effect is a little weaker. Grandma, do you think it works?" Liu Ruonan asked Tian Ni with a smile.
Tian Ni nodded heavily, as if to confirm Liu Ruonan: "It works, it works. The plaster made by Nan Nan must work. Look, I even dare to bend it a little bit."
During those two days, she was in so much pain that she didn't dare to get out of bed. Her legs were straight and stiff, and even if she forced herself to get out of bed, she was still shaking with pain.
I have been using this plaster for two days and I do feel relieved. At least the pain is not as severe anymore.
Liu Ruonan filled another basin with hot water, and just like that day, she first tore off the plaster and then applied hot compress.
After the hot compress was finished, Liu Ruonan helped Tian Ni lie down and said to her, "Grandma, do you choose to believe me?"
"Believe it, believe it! How can we not believe it?" Their family has married a treasure!
Liu Ruonan brought acupuncture needles today. She rolled up Tian Ni's trouser legs to her thighs, disinfected the needles, and started to give Tian Ni acupuncture.
Tian Ni was stunned when she saw the long needle. She sat up from the bed and looked at Liu Ruonan with horror, shouting, "Nannan! What are you doing?"
"Grandma, don't be afraid. This is called acupuncture. As long as you trust me, I will come to you every day for acupuncture. Combined with the effectiveness of the plaster, I believe you will be able to walk again in no time!"
Liu Ruonan's words were so calm and composed, but Tian Ni felt like she was on fire. A needle this long, stuck in her flesh, would be incredibly painful!
"I dare not do that." Tian Ni waved her hands quickly.
"Just believe Ruonan. She has her reasons for doing this." Chen Wanglong was smoking his pipe with a serious look in his eyes.
To be honest, he was a little scared. But seeing Liu Ruonan so calm and composed gave her a boost of confidence. Perhaps this girl really did possess extraordinary abilities? The old woman's legs over the past two days were a prime example. Although the effect was minimal, it was effective, wasn't it? After so many years of leg pain, there was actually room for improvement.
Tian Ni was an old woman from the old society, and generally listened to men. Since Chen Wanglong had said so, she didn't dare to say anything else and just lay down obediently.
She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to watch Liu Ruonan perform the acupuncture. Her hands were tightly gripping the bed sheet, causing wrinkles to form on it.
"Why haven't you started yet?" Tian Ni was in good physical condition and had never had a needle in her life. For her, this acupuncture was a fear that came from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Wanglong coughed and laughed twice. The injection was almost finished, and she actually asked if it had started yet? It seemed that it really was not painful at all! No wonder Chen Wanglong had been wondering why Tian Ni hadn't reacted!
"Grandma, don't be afraid, open your eyes and look." Liu Ruonan said with a smile.
Tian Ni opened her eyes and happened to see Liu Ruonan holding a long needle and twisting it into her leg. But she didn't feel any pain! Why was that?
"Oh my God, it's all pierced? But why don't I feel it?" Tian Ni was very surprised. When she was doing needlework, if she accidentally pierced the flesh, it would hurt for a long time. There was no reason to cover it up!
Could it be that this girl is the reincarnation of a miracle doctor?
