When Lin Dan saw Zhou Nan’s broken leg, he thought with disgust: Who bandaged this wound? Why is the technique so poor? Who found this medicine? It can't treat external injuries at all! If we delay any further, this man's legs will definitely become lame!
Dozens of methods of treating a broken leg suddenly emerged in her mind, and she quickly identified the most suitable one. Then her expression was slightly stunned, and she pondered: Was I a doctor before?
She didn't have time to think deeply, and immediately removed the wooden board and gauze tied to Zhou Nan's legs, and wiped the herbal paste clean.
Zhou Nan was sweating all over from the pain, but he didn't even frown. He just asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm helping you heal your leg." Lin Dan brought a basin of hot water and scrubbed the boy's red and swollen leg.
Zhou Nan was forced to sit up and tried to stop him, "Don't do it. Once we contact my parents, they will send me to a big hospital for treatment."
“Your leg bones are not properly connected and are a little crooked. If we don’t straighten them now, you will become a cripple in the future. When your parents send you to a big hospital, they will still break your leg bones and reconnect them. By then, you will definitely suffer much more than you do now.” After Lin Dan gave the instructions, he went out to look for herbs in the nearby mountains and forests.
Zhou Nan's injured leg hurt so much that he dared not move at all and could only let her do whatever she wanted.
After about an hour, Lin Dan finally came back with a basin filled with some green mud.
"I'll help you straighten your bones. It may be a little painful, just bear with it." She rolled up her sleeves and spoke slowly.
Zhou Nan finally showed a panic expression and decisively refused: "No, really no! You are not a doctor, don't touch my legs casually, it is better to let professionals do these things."
"I'm a professional." Lin Dan held his legs, pulled them hard in both directions, and then quickly closed them. Her movements were very clean and neat. Almost at the moment when Zhou Nan screamed in pain, the bone had been straightened by her. She quickly smeared the mud on the affected area, then put on a splint, wrapped it with cloth strips, and fixed it in mid-air.
It only took her half an hour to do all this, but Zhou Nan was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat and lay on the pillow gasping for breath.
"Okay, you take a good rest, I'll go cook." Lin Dan washed his hands with the warm water that had been prepared long ago, his tone very calm.
Zhou Nan was so angry that he gritted his teeth. His good self-control showed signs of breaking down in front of this daring little girl. He said in a deep voice: "Bone injury is a serious matter. You don't know any medical skills, how can you treat me casually? If my bones are not connected properly, do you know what the consequences will be? I might become disabled!"
"No, don't worry." Lin Dan waved his hand expressionlessly, then went out with the washbasin. After a while, he came back and placed the jade pendant on the bedside table. "This is your thing, keep it well."
Zhou Nan's anger disappeared the moment he saw the jade pendant. His expression was unfathomable, his eyes were dark, and he stared at the jade pendant as if he had seen something terrible.
"This jade pendant is not mine." After a long while, he spoke word by word.
"It's yours," Lin Dan pointed at the pattern and said, "Look, this is the word Zhou."
Zhou Nan was silent for a while, then said: "Then I'll give it to you."
Lin Dan looked at him deeply, then walked out without saying a word. The original owner was blinded by love and could not see how wary Zhou Nan was of her, but Lin Dan was different. Lin Dan didn't take the young man seriously at all, so she naturally wouldn't mistake the rejection and fear in his eyes. This was indeed his thing, but he didn't like it and was even a little afraid of it, so he gave it to someone else.
Fear of a jade pendant, why? Lin Dan was puzzled, but had no desire to delve deeper. She was now tired and hungry, and just wanted to finish her meal quickly and have a nap. As for what to do in the future, she will think about it when she is clear-headed.
While Lin Dan was busy in the kitchen, Zhou Nan picked up the jade pendant and threw it out of the window. The jade pendant fell into the grass and disappeared without making any sound.
…………
The next day, Lin Dan got up early and prepared to go to the town to find the original owner's teacher. She was the only one willing to help the original owner, but the villagers who lived very close to the original owner wished she would die sooner.
"Is your leg better?" Before leaving, she went to check on Zhou Nan's injury.
Zhou Nan was a light sleeper. He woke up as soon as the roosters crowed outside. He was looking at his legs, which had completely lost their swelling, in disbelief. "Much better!" He moved his toes, his expression even more surprised. "It doesn't hurt at all!"
Lin Dan seemed to have expected this, and said confidently: "After the swelling and blood stasis are gone, the bones will grow very fast. You lie down and rest, don't move. I'm going to town to find my teacher and will be back in the afternoon."
"Are you going to town to help me make the call?" Zhou Nan was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I'll ask my teacher to notify your parents for you. The phone numbers are 139XXXXXXXX and 139XXXXXXXX, right? Are there any other numbers to contact them? If I can't get through, I can try another number." Lin Dan held a small piece of paper in his hand and confirmed again and again.
"Yes, there is another phone number that can contact them. It's my father's assistant, his last name is Liao. You can take notes." Seeing Lin Dan's positive attitude, Zhou Nan's expression softened.
Lin Dan found a ballpoint pen and carefully wrote down the phone number before going there. When she walked onto the path leading out of the mountain, she stepped on something hard. She picked it up and saw that it was the jade pendant she had returned to Zhou Nan yesterday. The jade pendant is in very good condition and has plenty of water. The intricate patterns are interspersed with a few traces of blood-red color. It should be a very valuable old item and it would be a pity to just throw it away.
She was too lazy to run back to find Zhou Nan, so she had to put it in her pocket, thinking of returning it to him when she came back. It was still dark at this time, and the mountains in the distance were covered with dark clouds, as if it was about to rain. Lin Dan tucked the umbrella under his arm and walked quickly. When passing by a pond, he saw a figure swaying towards him from a distance. When he got closer, he found that the man was an old man in the village named Shi Gui. He had no children, was poor and destitute, and lived entirely on gambling.
He was one of the villagers who was most hostile to the original owner. When he saw the original owner approaching the village, he would chase him away with a stick and his attitude was very ferocious.
Lin Dan was not afraid of him, but he stood still and hid in the bushes to avoid a conflict with the other party and waste time. But Shi Gui seemed to have noticed her a long time ago, and he ran over faster, smelling strongly of alcohol.
The original owner was very thin and weak, and was no match for an adult. So Lin Dan didn't hide and immediately ran into the dense forest. The two of them chased each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere was very strange. Finally, Shi Gui caught up with the exhausted Lin Dan, and his big hands kept groping her body and tearing her clothes.
Lin Dan said nothing, because she knew that even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, no one would come to save her. She bit with her teeth, kicked with her feet, grabbed with her hands, and used everything she could to resist. But she was a thin girl after all, and due to malnutrition, her body was very weak and she soon succumbed. She completely collapsed and allowed Shi Gui to take off her shirt and pants.
Shi Gui's face flushed, his expression was ferocious, he was breathing heavily, and he looked like he was burning with desire. When he was eagerly trying to unbutton his pants, Lin Dan suddenly stretched out his finger and poked it hard into his eye socket. He screamed and sobered up completely. However, he did not run away in embarrassment because he had lost an eye. Instead, he quickly tried to capture Lin Dan.
Lin Dan turned his head back while running, and suddenly he realized that this was not an ordinary villager. Such a cruel look could only be possessed by a vicious person who had killed people and seen blood. If she hadn't escaped today, she would have lost her life!
She didn't look back, but just ran forward desperately, but she didn't expect Shi Gui to pick up a big rock and hit her hard on the back of the head. The moment the sound of breaking air was heard, she fainted from the pain. When she woke up, she found that her hands and feet were tied and thrown into a deep pool of water.
The surrounding area was full of lush green water plants, and the turbid and cold water rushed into her mouth and nose, causing her to choke and cough continuously. She immediately held her breath, stopped struggling, and let her body slowly sink to the bottom of the water, while her mind was working at high speed. There is no doubt that Shi Gui became murderous after failing to rape her, so he tied her up while she was unconscious and threw her into a pond to destroy her body. She had to untie the rope as quickly as possible and swim to the surface.
It would have been fine if her hands were tied straight, but they were tied behind her back. In this way, even if she wanted to bend down to untie the ropes on her feet, it was impossible. In addition, there was a large stone hanging on her legs to prevent her body from swelling up and floating up and being discovered. This shows that Shi Gui is a habitual offender and his method of handling corpses is very sophisticated.
Lin Dan felt a chill in his heart, followed by boundless anger. But Shi Gui was tied too tightly, and no matter how she struggled, it was in vain.
At this critical moment, a martial arts book called "Ashura Sword" popped into her mind, and her intuition told her that this might be her only way to survive. But unfortunately, just as the inheritance of a sorcerer requires blood power, the practice of the Shura Sword also requires qualifications. The original owner's aptitude was too poor, and he couldn't even gather a trace of internal energy. This only way to survive was blocked in an instant.
Lin Dan closed her eyes and tried her best to calm herself down, but at this moment, the jade pendant in her pocket suddenly lit up, and then the turbid water began to swirl and flow, slowly forming a vague figure.
Lin Dan opened his eyes wide, stunned by this strange situation. When he saw the figure clearly, a hint of surprise flashed across his pupils.
The man was wearing a black robe and had ankle-length hair. The dark green water plants and his black hair were intertwined together, like a dark cloud, giving people a very ominous feeling. His face gradually became clear, and he looked 70% similar to Zhou Nan, except that his temperament was more gloomy, and the teardrop mole under his eye was red, while Zhou Nan's was black. He is also taller and stronger than Zhou Nan, with very profound facial features, which gives people a thrilling feeling. If Zhou Nan were a few years older, he would probably look like him.
His thin, crimson lips were slightly curled up in a charming smile, as if he was savoring the despair of Lin Dan's dying struggle.
