Chapter 61: People in the Bullpen



Old Man Chu didn't expect Xu Zhiyi to come back.

She was holding a vine in her hand, behind which was a board woven from branches and vines.

It turned out that she didn't want to leave.

It was impossible for Xu Zhiyi to use her supernatural powers to heal a stranger she had just met. She was not a sanctimonious person.

If someone really discovered that she could heal other people's wounds instantly, she would most likely be captured and studied.

Such a possibility must of course be eliminated at the source.

"Wait!" Old Man Chu thought that Xu Zhiyi came over and wanted to hold him and sit on the board, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Girl, can you find me some branches of similar thickness and length? My old man's leg is broken, and we need to fix it before we can move it, otherwise his leg will be useless."

When asking for help, the stubborn old man was able to bend and stretch.

"Can the old man heal diseases?"

"Of course!...No, I just heard it from others."

Xu Zhiyi ignored the old man's indignant look and came as he said.

I saw Old Man Chu struggling for a long time, trying to get up and bandage himself, but his face turned red and he didn't get up.

Xu Zhiyi couldn't bear to watch, so he grabbed the wooden stick and began to bandage the old man's leg with swift hands and feet. He tore the outer shirt next to him into strips and tied it up.

Old man Chu's expression flashed, and he began to groan, complaining of pain in his waist, legs, and all over his body.

Xu Zhiyi didn't mind the dirtiness, he carried Old Man Chu onto the board and was about to drag him away.

"Hey, hey, hey! Girl, pick up my backpack for me."

Knowing that the girl had a good heart, Old Man Chu began to reveal his true nature, complaining about the weird way she bandaged her wound.

Xu Zhiyi picked up a basket not far away, which contained a lot of herbs.

He handed the backpack to Old Man Chu and calmly led him towards the cowshed.

Old man Chu was surprised by this. After all, his old bones still had some weight.

How come this girl is so relaxed, as if she is not a living person?

"Girl, how come you are so strong?"

"Are you an educated youth from the village?"

"No wonder you're so brave, going up the mountain alone."

Old man Chu kept on chattering, asking questions one after another, which was really annoying.

"Old man, what's in your backpack?"

Xu Zhiyi hit the target with one strike, and Old Man Chu immediately became speechless and refused to answer.

Although he talked a lot, he still had the necessary vigilance, after all, he was the one who suffered a great loss.

After arriving at the cowshed, a middle-aged woman in the dilapidated thatched hut heard noises outside and ran out in a panic.

"Old Chu, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah Feng, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I just broke my leg. I just need to take care of it."

When Miao Feng heard this, her face became even more worried. Although her husband was a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, it was a real pain for him to break his leg at such a young age.

The three middle-aged men in the room who heard the noise also came out.

"Old Chu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just fell accidentally."

"Lao Zhang, Lao Li, come, let's help carry Lao Chu into the house."

The middle-aged man called Lao Zhang nodded expressionlessly and stepped forward to lend a hand.

Old Li was unforgiving in his words, "You're old, so you'd better be careful. It would be painful if you hurt your bones."

The hands kept moving.

The three of them carefully carried Chu Jueming back into the house.

"Ah Feng, go get the ointment I made and apply it to me."

Miao Feng walked to the corner of the house and took a stone from the many stones in the corner. There was a sealed clay jar underneath.

She opened the cloth stopper on the jar, took out the yellow and black ointment and applied it on Chu Jueming's legs.

The template that Lao Zhang got from somewhere was just right for fixing the legs and preventing the bones from growing crooked.

Only after he had tied the wooden board tightly with cloth strips did Miao Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhiyi, who had been silent since he came over, just watched silently.

He was so anxious to check on his old man's injuries that he didn't notice the little girl followed him in.

She was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. What if she reported them?

Xu Zhiyi must have been staring at the clay jar beside the bed, which exuded a strong herbal aroma. She guessed that there must be someone in this group who knew Chinese medicine.

The most likely possibility is the injured old man.

Maybe it's not the old man?

Just looks old.

"Girl, thank you for today! Please keep today's events a secret. It's like...it's like I, an old man, owe you a favor."

He said this with a red face, which seemed a little funny.

Chu Jueming knew their current situation and could not cause any more trouble.

Now I have nothing and can only write a blank check.

If it can be redressed...

Xu Zhiyi was just helping out and didn't want anything in return.

She knew how many families were destroyed and how many people were killed during this period of history, and how many people vented their anger and hatred on innocent people under the banner of serving the country and the people.

There are so many pillars of the country and talents who have been suppressed and demoted. If you see them, you will do your best to help them.

Although these people have been doing farm work for many years, they have become haggard and helpless.

If someone is willing to help others when seeing strangers around, his character is evident.

The people living in the cowshed were all sent down under various pretexts. Some were reported by their closest relatives and had their ties severed just to protect themselves.

Some were framed by their opponents and were demoted to permanent residence before they had time to react.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it.

When the family is prosperous, people surround them.

Ever since the incident, people have been staying away from him, fearing that they might get into trouble.

The Chu family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Their ancestors were imperial physicians who served in the palace. Their medical tradition is long and famous.

Old Man Chu's real name was Chu Jueming. When the nationwide movement to destroy the four olds broke out, the old man of the Chu family foresaw the crisis and took the lead in closing the clinic and no longer treated patients.

In order to avoid disaster, the young generation in the family was sent to the north thousands of miles away to serve as educated youth.

He was originally very cautious and even moved out of the old house.

Go to another place and be careful and low-key, just hope to be safe.

Who would have thought that the young disciple accepted by Master Chu would come to him in order to cure his sweetheart's illness.

Mr. Chu was concerned about his own family and was hesitant.

On the contrary, it was Chu Jueming, a kind-hearted doctor, who came to the rescue.

The young apprentice's sweetheart was very interested in traditional Chinese medicine and wanted to talk about it to his father, but his father had other ideas.

He deliberately tried to curry favor with the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee and attempted to step on the Chu family to gain power. He used threats and inducements to instruct his young apprentice to turn against them and drag the entire Chu family into trouble.

Their intention was to destroy the Four Olds, so they openly searched homes and destroyed books. The Chu family was criticized and sent down to the countryside.

Fortunately, a friend secretly intervened and the old man and Chu Jueming and his wife were transferred to Xiangyang Village.

The people of Xiangyang Village are simple and honest. Even if someone is sent down, the villagers will just stay away from them and will not be too extreme, which makes their life less difficult.

Of course, it's not much better.

Those who were able to be transferred to Xiangyang Village were basically arranged by someone behind the scenes.

After thanking her repeatedly, Miao Feng sent Xu Zhiyi away.

"Old Chu, do you think this girl will complain? I'm really scared."

"No, Ah Feng, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Chu Jueming held Miao Feng's hand tightly, and the two comforted each other.

Chu Jueming didn't expect that the small and quiet girl would bring him so many surprises.
