"What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is so young, how could she possibly marry someone so old!" Liu Guihua said angrily, wishing she could tear Tian Cai's irritating mouth apart.
"If you're not looking for someone this old, why do you care if they can find a partner? You live by the sea, why do you care so much?"
Liu Guihua felt a lump in her throat, and a mouthful of blood rushed up, almost choking her to death. She was sick, there must be something seriously wrong with her brain. There were so many people in the village, but she had to catch this dead girl and talk to her. She was simply sick!
"you--"
"What do you mean by me?" Tian Cai was feeling the sunburn. Who had the time to argue with her about useless things in such hot weather? So she continued to speak venomously, "I'm not like some people who have so much time to spare that they can't even talk nonsense. They have so much time every day that they might as well take care of their own husbands. Why do some people like to stare at other people's trivial matters and gossip about them? It really is true that people can't eat too much, otherwise they will be full and have nothing to do."
When the women nearby saw that Liu Guihua was being teased by Tian Cai again, they all laughed in their hearts. However, as soon as the corners of their mouths curled up, Tian Cai's gaze swept over them. They quickly lowered their heads and pretended to ask each other for advice on needlework.
After Tian Cai left, the few people felt more and more that something was wrong. They felt that the glance she gave them just now was a curse on them as well!
In the Yu family yard separated by a wall, Yu Guoqing clearly heard what the few people had just said. The windows were open, and Yu Xuewei, who was lying on the kang, could also hear it.
Yu Guoqing glanced toward the window twice, but didn't hear any movement from his son. He became more and more worried. He had wanted to curse back at these gossipers in the village for a long time, but as a grown man, it was not easy for him to argue with a bunch of women. Tian Cai's words hit the nail on the head.
Yu Guoqing never thought of looking for Tian Cai. The doctors in the military hospital were helpless. What could he do for a little girl? He could only take care of her like this and hope that a miracle would happen one day.
After arguing with the man, Tian Cai returned home in a good mood, thinking that he had some friendship with the Yu family, and to be frank, it was Yu Xuewei who first took the wound medicine and hemostatic powder to the army, so he was kind of helping to make the connection. It seemed a bit unreasonable that he hadn't visited the family yet.
She finished processing the herbs in her hand and sat in the pavilion. She guessed that the reason Yu Xuewei was carried back was probably because of an injury to his legs or spine. If it was other parts of his body, the Yu family father and son had taken care of him for such a long time, and this person would not have been carried back.
She got up and went into the pharmacy, picked up the small dustpan on the table, and her hands moved up and down the medicine cabinet. Soon, the herbs in the small dustpan piled up into a pile. She planned to make some bone-healing ointment, which was very effective in healing bones. She had used this thing to recover from her broken calf bone before.
If it was spinal nerve damage, she might be able to learn some treatment methods. When she treated Old Man Shi for paralysis, she had made up for her lack of knowledge about the spine, and now she can tell you a lot about it. Old Man Shi can already walk, but the degree of recovery has not yet met her expectations.
It was the next day that Tian Cai finished preparing the ointment. She did not bring her medicine box, but only the prepared ointment and a small basket of vegetables like the villagers, and went to Yu's house alone.
As soon as Tian Cai turned over here, several women who were gossiping beside the big willow tree saw her, and they were like geese with their necks strangled, and they stopped moving at all.
Tian Cai was in a good mood today. He greeted two of the aunts he was familiar with as if nothing had happened, and then turned into the Yu family under their embarrassed gazes.
When Tian Cai disappeared, they looked at each other and then went home with their own sewing baskets in tacit understanding.
Tian Cai pushed open the half-open door and entered the yard, and saw Yu Guoqing with a sad face under the eaves, lost in thought. His drooping eyelids made him look very listless.
"Uncle Yu, I'm here to see Second Brother Yu." Seeing that Yu Guoqing didn't notice her, Tian Cai was the first to speak and greet him.
Yu Guoqing was awakened by the sound. Seeing that the person coming was Tian Cai, he quickly forced a smile and stood up to greet him, "It's Xiao Tian, come in and sit down."
After the two entered the house, Yu Guoqing turned around and led them into the room where Yu Xuewei was.
Yu Xuewei doesn't want to see anyone recently. He doesn't want to see the villagers' eyes full of regret and pity, as that would make him feel like a useless person.
Yu Guoqing just remembered that his son had written a letter to Tian Cai before, and thought that the two had some friendship, so he should be willing to meet... right?
"Xuewei, look who's here?"
Yu Xuewei was lying on the kang with his face slightly tilted towards the inside. When he heard the sound, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was no different from usual. The irritability in his eyes had completely disappeared. As soon as he turned around, he saw Tian Cai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Only then did I feel relieved, "Doctor Tian."
Tian Cai nodded, put the basket on the table, and sat down on the kang very naturally. "Where are you hurt?"
When others asked this question, Yu Xuewei could always hear the regret or gloating in it, but Tian Cai asked it in a calm tone, which made him feel like meeting an old friend and he wanted to talk about it.
"The military doctor said the two most serious injuries were to the lower back and thigh. The lumbar spine was shattered in two places. They've been reassembled and fixed now. I'll just have to recuperate. The fracture in my thigh has also been fixed and I'm in a splint."
Yu Xuewei said this and patted his left leg gently.
Yu Guoqing was already very excited to see his son was willing to speak, not to mention that he took the initiative to mention his injuries. He couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and his eyes became softer when he looked at Tian Cai. This girl came at the right time!
Yu Xuewei saw his father staring at Tian Cai as if he had seen some treasure. He coughed lightly and pointed at the kang cabinet and said, "Dad, hand me the film we brought back."
"Hey hey hey"
Tian Cai raised her eyebrows. Movie, is it the movie she thought it was?
When Yu Guoqing took out the translucent X-ray film, Tian Cai's guess was confirmed. There was already an X-ray at this time?
Yu Xuewei took the film and showed it to Tian Cai. "This is an X-ray. It's imported equipment from abroad and has only been used in military hospitals in recent years. It can see through the body and show the bones inside. This is a picture of my waist. This one was taken when I first entered the hospital, and this one was taken after the operation."
Tian Cai nodded, not saying she had seen this thing before. She took the two films and examined them carefully. Although they were not as clear as those in later generations, she could clearly see the appearance of the injured part. The injury was between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae, which was a very clever placement. Thinking of the power of the bullet, Tian Cai said in admiration, "The fact that you can survive in this situation is already remarkable."
