Chapter 171 Drynaria fortunei
"Sister!" Su Ying heard Yang Chunhua's screams outside and came in to see.
"Aying is here, come and take a look!" Gao seemed to have found her backbone and hurriedly grabbed Su Ying's hand.
Today, Su Bucheng and Su Laoer have not returned yet, so Su Ying took Xiaotao, Atang, Zhaoyan, Bingyan and other little followers to the village entrance to check.
When the villagers heard that Yang Chunhua fell into the ditch, a lot of people gathered outside the village chief's yard and whispered.
After seeing his father and second uncle, he learned that Yang Chunhua had injured his bones and the situation was not optimistic.
There was no doctor in the village and it was far from the town. If Yang Chunhua had not received timely treatment, even if she had survived, she would have been either paralyzed or lame.
"Oh! This child has such a miserable life!" Several village elders couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey!" Old man Yang was full of worry. Just when his life was getting better, his daughter had to deal with this.
The old couple Wang stood by silently, unable to do anything.
"Don't worry, grandma, let me take a look first!" Su Ying didn't understand much either.
But Yang Chunhua was wearing winter clothes, wrapped around her legs neatly.
"Which leg?" Su Ying asked.
"Left leg!" Yang Chunhua's lips were cracked and he was sweating all over from the pain.
"Auntie, please get a bowl of water for my sister first!" Su Ying saw that Yang Chunhua was suffering from dry mouth.
"Go quickly! Go quickly!" Gao finally noticed and hurriedly called her daughter-in-law to fetch water.
A bowl of warm water was brought over, and Yang Chunhua drank it all in one gulp, "I want more!"
After drinking two bowls of water, I felt much better. The pain was gone and I even forgot I was thirsty.
"Sister is injured in the leg. To check the injury, we have to cut off the trouser leg. Can you bear with that?" Su Ying asked.
"It's already this time, what are you still reluctant to give up?" Yang Chunhua smiled bitterly.
Gao brought a pair of scissors, and Su Ying cut from the trouser legs upwards to the knees, exposing her calves.
The middle part of the tibia of her calf was severely swollen, and Yang Chunhua twitched in pain when she touched it lightly.
Su Ying pressed her thigh again, but felt no pain.
"It should be just this one wound!" Su Ying judged.
There is no need to cut the trouser legs upwards. Once they are damaged, you can sew them up and wear them again.
"What should we do? Ah Ying, do you have any good ideas?" Gao said helplessly. She couldn't see or touch the wound, and there was no medicine to use for the knife wound.
"Grandma, I don't know any medicine either!" Su Ying said in embarrassment. She had some basic medical knowledge, but this was a broken bone, not the elimination of diseases and insects.
"You must have a way. You are so smart and capable!" Gao's eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it!" Su Ying persuaded Gao.
What should I do if my leg bone is broken? What medicine should I use? Su Ying thought quickly.
"I got it!" Su Ying thought of something
"Grandma, if we can find some Drynaria fortunei, maybe my sister's leg can be saved!"
"Gynecological rhizome? What is that?" Gao felt happy and worried at the same time when she heard it.
Judging from the name, it is good for bones and can be used to treat bone injuries. But how can such a good thing be easily obtained by ordinary people?
"Well, it's a herb, also known as monkey ginger, cliff ginger, rock ginger, climbing ginger, etc. It grows on tree trunks or rocks in mountain forests and has the ability to promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
As long as Sister hasn't had her period, she can take it internally and apply it externally. This stuff can promote bone healing." Su Ying said.
There is a story about Drynaria fortunei. It is said that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang broke his leg while playing on a swing. The imperial physician tried all kinds of medicine but could not cure him. He suffered from unbearable pain every night.
As a last resort, they called in traveling doctors from the folk to treat him.
A traveling doctor prescribed monkey ginger, which was taken internally and applied externally, and the leg bone healed quickly.
Emperor Taizong of Tang thought that the name monkey ginger was indecent, so he renamed it Drynaria fortunei.
"Really?" Gao said excitedly, "If it is really Ya Jiang, let Dalang and the others go find it now."
Gao didn't expect that it was just a common thing in the mountains, and was overjoyed.
"Da Lang, Er Lang!" Gao shouted outside the house.
"Mother! What's the matter?" Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang came to the door.
"Go find some ginger and Ah Ying's prescription, your sister's leg can be cured!" Gao said happily.
"Yes, mother!" The two sons were also happy.
The two daughters-in-law beside the bed looked unhappy and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Mother! It's dark now, don't let my brother go into the mountains!" Yang Chunhua saw the expressions of her sisters-in-law and hurriedly called Gao.
There are ferocious beasts in the mountains and it is dark, so no one wants to go into the mountains.
The two daughters-in-law don't want to lose their children's father and become widows in order to save their sister-in-law.
"My son, you are really killing me! If I don't pick the herbs, I will just watch you die in pain." Gao turned around and saw the faces of her two daughters-in-law. How could she not understand?
I feel sorry for my daughter's miserable life. She has no support from her husband's family, and she has to look after her two sisters-in-law in her own family.
"Little sister, it's okay. I will find some ginger for you!" As long as they can save my little sister, the two brothers will go through fire and water.
"Uncles, wait a minute!" Su Ying chased after them.
"Aying, what's the matter?" The two brothers were waiting with torches, carrying earthen bows and arrows, and carrying ropes.
Pei Sanlang and Pei Silang also went home to get their bows and arrows, preparing to go up the mountain together.
"Let Atang accompany you!" Su Ying leaned close to the two of them and whispered.
The two brothers looked at Atang beside Xiaotao. The little girl was discussing something with Huzi, Amu and Asang, looking carefree.
"How could we forget about her? Can she do it?" The two brothers had seen the little girl's power, but at this moment they still treated her as an ordinary person.
"Atang, come here!" Su Ying waved to Atang.
"What's the matter, sister?" Atang raised her little face.
"Uncle Yang and Uncle Yang are going into the mountains. Can you accompany them?" Su Ying squatted down and asked softly.
"Yeah!" Atang nodded, "Let's go!"
"Hey, Atang, where are you going?" Hu Zi shouted loudly when he saw Atang suddenly leave.
"I don't want to play anymore. I want to go home and eat!" Atang smiled at Hu Zi.
Yang Dalong and Yang Erlang bowed to Su Ying and followed silently.
Xiaotao and the other little ones didn't say a word when they saw Atang leave.
When Pei Sanlang and Pei Silang came back with their stuff, they found out that the person had already left.
"Why don't you wait for us?" Pei Sanlang asked worriedly.
"You guys go back, there are people to accompany you!" Su Ying advised.
"Someone? Who?" Pei Sanlang asked.
"Don't worry, they will definitely return safely!" Su Ying smiled.
Not knowing when Yang Dalang and the others would be back, Su Ying asked her father and second uncle to take the little ones home first.
"You guys go back first. Chunhua will stay at my house for the time being to recuperate." The villagers had already dispersed, and Old Man Yang said to Old Man Wang.
The old couple could do nothing here, just sitting there. He was worried about them going to Wang's house to recuperate.
"I'll go see my daughter-in-law." Old Lady Wang got up and went to the inner room.
Gao and her two daughters-in-law cleaned Yang Chunhua, changed her dirty clothes, and gave her a bowl of porridge.
My legs hurt so much, I have no appetite, and I am extremely sleepy, but the pain is so severe that I can't fall asleep.
"Chunhua, take good care of your injuries! Mother will come to see you tomorrow!" Old Mrs. Wang said, holding her daughter-in-law's hand.
"Mother, please go back!" Yang Chunhua leaned against the bed. "You two elders should take care of yourselves. This daughter-in-law is unfilial!"
"Kid, what are you talking about? We are the ones who have dragged you down! I'm sorry!" Old Lady Wang said with red eyes.
"Mother-in-law, go back! See the Wang family's parents-in-law off." Gao instructed her two daughters-in-law.
"Yes!" The two daughters-in-law helped Old Lady Wang out.
