The two of them walked to the back of the crowd and talked in private away from others.
"I heard him tell me the whole story before you came, haha." Qu Ting covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in Tian Cai's ear. Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help laughing. She quickly covered her mouth, "I suspect that the shit in the broken house was all caused by Old Man Feng!"
Tian Cai was a little helpless, "Did you see it?"
Qu Ting shook her head. "Why didn't you tell me why he ran into this shabby house so late at night instead of staying at home?"
No one knew what this old man Feng was doing running to the dilapidated house in the middle of the night. He said that he was put in a sack and attacked by more than one person, who hit him on the head and kicked him on the legs. It seemed that both of his legs were broken by different people.
His mouth was covered at the time, but he finally broke free and shouted loudly, scaring away several people. It is said that judging from the footsteps, there may be more than two people.
"A few days ago, Old Man Feng took Dapao to several houses and insisted that Dapao's arm was broken by their firecrackers. He asked them to pay compensation. If they didn't pay, he would throw a tantrum and sit at their doorstep, cursing your ancestors for eight generations." Qu Ting shared with her the gossip she heard when visiting the villagers during the New Year.
Tian Cai really didn't expect that there would be such a follow-up to Dapao's injury. No wonder the children were particularly worried at the time. Did they already know what the Feng family was like?
The two looked at each other and both thought that the person who took action today might be the father of these children, but it was not easy to say it out loud, so they changed the subject tacitly.
"Why didn't Mimi come with you?" Qu Ting had just looked around. In the past, Mimi would always be by Tian Cai's side whenever he went out to see a doctor at night. It made her feel especially safe.
"It went up the mountain and hasn't come back yet."
…
On the other side of the village, a dark figure knocked lightly a few times outside the gate. Soon someone came to open the door, and two people entered the house quietly.
"How about it?"
"Doctor Tian couldn't take the operation. She said the other injuries weren't serious. The most serious one was that one leg bone was shattered into pieces, while the other was a normal fracture." The man's voice was full of laughter. "Third brother, you're really strong. I don't have your leg strength!"
"He wants money, right? Just think of it as the medical expenses we paid in advance for him. Let him enjoy himself, hum!"
-------------------------------------
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Tian Cai received a message from Du Chunyan, asking her to go to the county when she is free.
Du Chunyan would definitely not look for her if there was nothing wrong. She thought there should be enough shampoo. She couldn't guess what the matter was, so she simply went to the county the next day. She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but learned that Du Chunyan had taken a leave of absence today, so she went to look for her according to her memory.
This time was different from the Spring Festival holidays in later generations. A while ago, she saw a notice in the commune newspaper to break the old custom of not taking holidays during the Spring Festival. Therefore, the supply and marketing cooperatives and various units in the county did not have holidays. Everyone took turns to rest as usual. They tried not to rest if possible, grasped the revolution and promoted production, and the emphasis was on "no stop on the 30th, and continue working on the first day."
At this time, the Spring Festival atmosphere in the city was far less strong than in the countryside. Tian Cai walked around the streets and found that most families only put up Spring Festival couplets, and many even didn't, and almost no one set off firecrackers.
When Tian Cai arrived at Qian's house, Qian Liming had gone to work and Du Chunyan was the only one at home.
"Oh, Tian Cai is here. I've been thinking about you every day these past few days. Since you haven't come yet, I sent someone to give you a message yesterday."
Tian Cai smiled slightly. "It's the New Year these days, and there's nowhere to go, so I'm staying home. What can Sister Chunyan do for me?"
"Nothing, I just missed you after not seeing you for a while. Where did you get off? You must be tired after walking a long way. Come sit down and have a rest. Your brother-in-law will be back soon, and we can go to the state-owned restaurant to have something delicious."
Tian Cai thought of the daily newspaper article and said, "Let's not go out to eat. Just eat something simple at home."
"That's okay too."
Du Chunyan was smiling and extremely enthusiastic. Tian Cai felt that he had to listen to her words carefully. He had never missed her before, and since she was so enthusiastic this time, it must be something big.
But Du Chunyan refused to say anything and kept saying that she had to wait for Qian Liming to come back, so this matter must be related to him.
He thought that Du Chunyan and he had a mutually beneficial relationship, so if there was anything he could help with, it would be fine. But if the request was too big and she couldn't help, then there was nothing he could do.
Du Chunyan chatted with Tian Cai for a while, talking about the cases she had treated, and also asked about her teacher's teachings and acupuncture techniques.
Tian Cai felt that she had already learned the basics of acupuncture. Simple procedures were no problem for her, but she didn't dare to do anything too complicated, let alone inserting needles into a delicate area like the brain.
Besides, the villagers don't have any serious illnesses, so she hasn't been prescribing medicine lately and is trying to practice her acupuncture skills. Well, the reason why the villagers are willing to do it is probably because it's cheap and most of the time it's free.
At noon, Qian Liming went home for lunch, accompanied by a kind-looking, thin old man.
Qian Limin's eyes lit up when he saw Tian Cai. "Doctor Tian is in town? I haven't seen him in a few days!"
Tian Cai smiled and said, "Of course, is your aunt's legs and feet okay now?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I don't know how to thank you enough. My mom hasn't suffered any harm this year. She can even go out for a walk!"
Tian Cai also smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with going out for a stroll. Just remind Auntie to keep warm."
When the old man on the side heard what the two said, he couldn't help but look at Tian Cai twice. He didn't expect that such a young girl could give acupuncture. He just didn't know how good her technique was.
As a family member of a patient, Qian Liming knew very well how serious his mother's cold legs were, so he was surprised to see her wandering around the house a lot this year.
He turned around and said to the old man, "Second Grandpa, aren't you looking for a doctor who knows acupuncture? I think Tian Cai can be the one."
Tian Cai raised his eyebrows. Looking for someone who knows acupuncture?
