Huo Er held the wormwood in his hand and slowly and tentatively moved towards the two fruits.
The fruits were quite far away, and it took a long time before I got close to one of them.
The slope here was quite steep. Huo Er stretched out his hand but couldn't reach it, so he took a few steps forward, moved his hand towards the tip of the wormwood, and stretched his other arm as far as possible.
Through such efforts, Huo Er's hand stretched forward finally reached the fruit.
A smile appeared on Huo Er's face. She put the fruit in the pocket of her clothes at her side and continued to move forward to reach the fruit that was lower down.
There was an autumn rain two days ago, which knocked down many fallen leaves and made the soil a lot softer.
The wormwood that was pulled by Huo Er finally couldn't bear the weight and was pulled out by the roots.
Huo Er, who was trying his best to pull down, didn't react at all. He rolled down the slope with the plucked wormwood in his hand...
A few half-grown children from the tribe not far away were climbing on the fruit trees to pick fruits. One of the children turned his head and happened to see this scene.
For such children, especially primitive children who are more agile in reaching their arms, wrestling is nothing, and can be said to be a common occurrence.
So even if you see someone fall and roll down the slope, you won't be surprised.
He stood on the branch, took a look, and continued picking fruits.
After picking a few fruits, he turned his head to look over there, and found that the person who had fallen down the slope was lying there and had not gotten up yet.
The half-grown child couldn't help scratching his head. Shouldn't he stand up quickly after falling down?
After waiting for a while, the person who fell down had not moved. The child, who was not very sensible, finally pointed to the place where Huo Er fell and told the story.
There were other adults picking fruits nearby. When they heard the child say this, they also looked over there. After a slight hesitation, one of the adults realized what was happening and ran over there, shouting loudly...
Huo Er, who was sleeping, opened her eyes drowsily. She wanted to fall asleep just now, but there was always a noise in her ears, making her unable to sleep well.
She opened her eyes and saw several focused and surprised faces, all of them were primitive women picking fruits nearby.
What's going on?
Why are they gathering around me at this time instead of picking the fruits?
Huo Er, who had just woken up, was a little confused. After a while, the gap in his memory was slowly filled.
I just fell down and rolled down the slope...
It was just a fall. It's not like I haven't been fallen before. There's no need to make such a fuss. So many people are coming to me, right?
Wouldn't this delay the fruit picking?
"You guys, pick the fruit."
Huo Er said.
If you don't pick more fruits now, you will starve when the weather turns cold.
As she said this, she dropped the wormwood she was holding tightly in her hand, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and was about to stand up.
She didn't catch the fruit just now, so she will have to pick it up again later.
It would have been fine if she didn't move, but as soon as she moved, a piercing pain came from her thigh, making her scream out involuntarily, her lips trembling slightly.
My leg was hit by a stone.
This was the first thought that came to Huo Er's mind.
When she was young, she fell from a fruit tree, hit her leg on a rock, and bled a lot.
Although the emergence of this thought made Huo Er feel a little uncomfortable, he was not too afraid.
Because her bones were exposed last time, but she was still fine afterwards.
There are not many rocks on this slope. I rolled down by myself, not falling from a tree like before. No matter how serious the accident is, it can't be as serious as the time when I was young.
She thought this in her mind and tried to sit up.
Then there came another piercing pain, which made Huo Er's old face lose much of its color.
What was even more difficult for Huo Er to accept than the pain was that she discovered that her left leg could not move.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her left leg...
When Huo Er fell, Han Cheng was still doing something in the yard.
After hearing the two half-grown kids' panting and unclear words, Han Cheng's heart immediately tightened.
After calling out to Liang, who was fiddling with some dried medicinal herbs, Han Cheng followed the two boys and ran towards the scene of the accident.
My heart was in my throat all the way.
Children are not afraid of falling, the more they fall, the stronger they become. Young people are also not afraid of falling. After falling, they can react instantly and pretend nothing happened to ease the embarrassment.
But this is not the case for the elderly. As old people’s muscles and bones are no longer strong, a simple fall can sometimes lead to something unacceptable for them.
When Han Cheng ran over, Huo Er was still lying on the ground, hardly moving.
It wasn't that the people guarding there were unwilling to help her sit up, but because the slightest movement would cause extreme pain.
Seeing this scene, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, thinking that something bad was probably going to happen.
"God...Son of God"
Seeing Han Cheng running out of breath, Huo Er, who was lying on the ground, greeted him.
Han Cheng reached out and held Huo Er's dry branch-like hand, squeezing it tightly and saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Then he started asking Huo Erdu where he felt unwell.
After learning that it was the leg, Han Cheng felt a little relieved.
Because compared to other parts of the body, even if the legs and arms are injured, it is generally not fatal.
After comforting Huo Er, Han Cheng began to slowly press on Huo Er's left leg to check the severity of the injury, whether it was a fracture or a more serious broken leg.
Even if it was a broken leg, Han Cheng was not too worried. After straightening the body, he clamped it firmly with a bamboo board. After it was fixed, there was a great possibility that it would heal.
Even though he will be left with some disabilities, he will still be able to walk. The only worry is that Huo Er is old and will recover slowly, so he may not be able to hold on.
Han Cheng groped his way up and pressed it, his heart sinking more and more.
When he finally confirmed that Huo Er's thigh was broken at the base, his heart sank to the bottom.
Broken legs and arms can be treated with the rough method he mentioned before, but this treatment definitely does not include the base of the thigh and the base of the arm.
Because there is no way to fix such a part with wooden boards!
