Tian Cai boiled two large pots of water that night, took a bath first, and then washed his hair.
She had just washed her hair when she was hurriedly called over. She wrapped it in a towel and quickly followed the person over.
The direction they were walking in seemed more and more wrong. They were actually heading towards the southwest corner of the village. Tian Cai was a little confused, so she said to Dongzi who came to find her, "Didn't you say it was Old Man Feng? His house isn't in this direction!"
"It was Old Man Feng," Dongzi said, holding a flashlight to illuminate the way for Tian Cai. He couldn't help but shrug. "I don't know what he was doing out here so late at night. He said he was beaten in a sack at the dilapidated house. Then he called Second Brother Qin over, so we had to let him go first."
The dilapidated house has been idle for many years. Qin Ling's house is not far away. The Bao family used to live here. Later, her wife Liu Guihua insisted that Qin Ling was unlucky for her, and persuaded Zhang Defa to move to an empty house. More than ten years have passed, and the house has become dilapidated and no one has repaired it. The roof has collapsed a long time ago. A few years ago, a strong wind blew down the wall, and it became a real dilapidated house.
Some people who have no house to live in after dividing their family property also took a fancy to this place, but they are few. Firstly, the terrain of this place is not very good, and secondly, it is more expensive to renovate the house than to build a new one. After weighing the pros and cons, they gave up and the house has been left there ever since.
The children in the village like to come here very much. The half-high wall can hide their bodies and pretend to fight guerrilla warfare.
If someone's house is missing stones when being repaired, they will just come here to remove them. Over time, the broken house becomes more and more dilapidated, almost turning into a pile of rubble, with a lot of feces and urine in it. No one knows who came here to defecate.
The two of them arrived at Qin Ling's house with the help of the faint flashlight. Many villagers were already standing in the yard. Tian Cai looked up and saw that Qu Ting's family of four had all come, Zhang Defa was also there, and Aunt Du.
"There weren't so many people here when I left just now!" Dongzi muttered softly.
No one looked anxious. Tian Cai even saw excitement in Qu Ting and Qu Yang's eyes. Even Zhang Defa just nodded when he saw her coming, his eyes glancing over the towel on her head. "Xiao Tian, were you washing your hair just now? Oh, I called you here again so late at night."
Tian Cai touched the towel on his head, feeling a little embarrassed, and could only try to ignore its existence. "This is what I should do. Please don't be polite."
"Come into the house first and let me take a look at whether the disease is serious or not and whether it can be cured. If it can't be cured, don't force it." Zhang Defa sighed.
This sounded interesting. Tian Cai immediately understood what she was saying. This was telling her that she should not get treatment if she could avoid it.
Zhang Defa was with her. Noticing Tian Cai's gaze, he nodded slightly to make sure she understood what he meant. Then he opened the door and went into the house. Luo Fuli and Qin Ling were standing aside and talking. Old man Feng was lying on the kang in the inner room, crying out "Ouch, ouch". Tian Cai stretched her head to take a look. He had a lot of sweat on his forehead and it looked like he was in great pain.
Qin Ling nodded slightly at her.
Tian Cai asked silently, "Which leg?"
Qinling made a two.
Both legs were broken.
Tian Cai's eyes widened immediately and he hurried to the kang to take a look.
Old man Feng's face was pale, with a big bump on his forehead and a large bruise, which looked like he had been hit hard. One of his eyes was swollen and squinted, and the most serious problem was that his legs were bent unnaturally. She touched him through his pants and then carefully checked the other side.
Pretending not to hear the screams that Old Man Feng let out after she touched his leg, Tian Cai calmly stated matter-of-factly, "The right leg is a comminuted fracture, and there might even be nerve damage. I can't fix that kind of bone. It needs surgery, or at least be sent to the county. The left leg, on the other hand, has a clean break, so I can fix that."
While Tian Cai was speaking, Feng Guodong, the son of old man Feng, was also called over. He had heard his father's screams and wanted to scold Tian Cai to be gentler, but he was shocked when he heard these words. He thought of the nerve damage and comminuted fracture that Tian Cai mentioned. Although he didn't know what these two terms meant, he could guess the literal meaning. Comminuted fracture means that the bones are broken into pieces. How can they be recovered? There is no way they will be healed in the future.
The first thought that flashed through Feng Guodong's mind was: Who would take care of his father if he fell ill, and how much would it cost to treat him?
Even if he could be cured by surgery at the county health center, his father is so old that he will definitely have some sequelae in the future, and the family will not be able to save any money.
Even Old Man Feng himself moaned much softer after hearing what Tian Cai said.
Feng Guodong looked at Tian Cai, "If my father has the surgery, will he be able to be the same as before?"
"Of course that's impossible," Tian Cai ruthlessly shattered his extravagant hopes. "He broke both legs, both on the line of force that supports his body. And his calves don't have a good blood supply. Ordinary fractures aren't easy to heal, let alone comminuted ones. Even after surgery, the recovery period will be at least eight to nine months, and he won't be able to walk during this period."
Even if a young person suffered such an injury, there is no guarantee of recovery, let alone Old Man Feng who is over sixty years old. Old people are prone to osteoporosis and are prone to fractures, and the fracture was in the calf. It is not known whether the person who did it was an expert or just an accident.
Feng Guodong felt even more disappointed.
Tian Cai was about to go get the medicine box, but after thinking it over, he came back and asked, "Do you want me to take the other leg?"
She didn't finish her words, but Feng Guodong already understood what Tian Cai meant. He hesitated whether to set the bones. From what he had just said, his father's leg might not be healed even after the operation, and the subsequent recuperation time would be very long, so he would definitely be lame in the future. Since he was already lame, it seemed that there was no difference between lameness of one leg and lameness of both legs.
