Chapter 210 A Piece of Stone
Another person had their arm bitten by a snake, and after several days, the wound had become inflamed and smelly, and it was beyond saving.
Another issue is necrosis of the blood vessels in the lower leg; to save the patient's life, the affected leg must be amputated.
His family member suddenly fainted.
The three people returned, but they were also severely punished.
The family of the deceased son kowtowed to Xu Rui, crying, thanking him for bringing the child back, at least saving him from being devoured by wild animals, and allowing him to return home.
The man whose arm rotted away, after the pain, accepted his fate. Losing an arm, at least saved his life.
Only the one with necrotic legs, named Yu Jun, couldn't accept it. He was clearly the least injured among them, and he thought that he would recover after being rescued and given some rest.
What does it mean if your legs are completely broken?
After Yu Jun's family woke up, they also disagreed with amputating his leg.
Losing both legs, what's the difference between him and a paralyzed person? His son isn't even married yet, isn't his life over?
His parents knelt before Lu Qingqing and wept bitterly.
"Dr. Qingqing, you must have a way, right? You even saved Lin Zhuang when his stomach was ruptured!"
"Tell us how much silver you need to treat me, and we'll scrape together the money even if we have to sell our pots and pans!"
"Please save my son! He's perfectly fine!"
Lu Qingqing shook her head: "I can't save him. His legs and feet are completely necrotic. If we cut it earlier, we can still save the area above the knee. If we delay any longer, we'll probably have to cut even more."
Please consider it as soon as possible.
She's already had acupuncture, but the blood vessels inside are no longer flowing, so it's certain that her lower leg can't be saved.
"We won't cut it! The leg is perfectly fine; it should heal on its own with some rest!"
“Quack doctors, you’re all quack doctors!” his father shouted.
"Son, let's go. Dad will take you to find a better doctor."
“You will harm him,” Dr. Pang shouted.
He thought that with his reputation in Ming'an County, at least his words would have some effect, but he didn't expect his family to lose their minds and not listen to him at all.
“We are his parents, how could we harm him! I know you just want money!”
Lu Qingqing was very angry.
Normally, she wouldn't have bothered with something like this.
Life and death are determined by fate.
She is a doctor who saves lives, not a saint who knowingly takes on trouble.
But... this person was rescued by Xu Rui and so many brothers who risked their lives, why shouldn't he cherish him!
"Of course you wouldn't intentionally harm him, but your ignorance could kill him!"
"Let me remind you again: if a decision is not made soon, he will not be able to save his life."
Moreover, even if his leg is amputated, whether he survives depends on his fate!
"Finally, don't worry, no matter how much money you offer, I won't get treatment. You don't need to be afraid that I'll rip you off!"
Even if it's cut off, there's no guarantee the patient will survive?
Yu Jun stared blankly at his legs, as if they had lost all life.
“Nonsense, it must be nonsense, my leg is perfectly fine…” his father kept muttering.
His mother went even further, blaming Xiao Zhang for bringing people into the mountains and for not stopping her son from going to dangerous places.
Liu Erzhu became anxious: "Auntie, how can you say that! You were the ones who made me beg Xiao Zhang to go hunting!"
Xiao Zhang warned me about the dangerous place, but he ignored me and went there secretly!
"Erzhu! You don't need to waste your breath on them!" Liu Lizheng took out a contract and unfolded it.
"I knew someone would try to renege on their promise if something went wrong! You all put your fingerprints on this, agreeing that once you entered the mountains, your life or death was up to fate! If you keep making false accusations, get out of Liuyun Village!"
Yu Junniang squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
Xu Rui walked over, his silver mask gleaming in the moonlight.
He had changed his clothes; he stood tall and elegant, his eyes cold.
The voice was cold: "Is this our fault for meddling and saving your son? I think you just think he's a burden now that he's crippled?"
"That's simple. Someone, throw him back into the mountains!"
"No, no, no... no, we were wrong, we were wrong!"
The two hugged their son, not daring to say another word.
By this point, no one cared about their family anymore.
Lu Qingqing and Dr. Pang went to have the injured arm amputated, leaving them to their own devices.
I don't care if you want treatment or not!
They almost caused several deaths and still have the nerve to act like this!
Liu Erzhu's mother spat at the family with a "pui" sound.
"Shameless! Look at the wolf bite wounds on those police officers. In my opinion, you should all be locked up in jail, you harmful creatures!"
The villagers no longer sympathized with their family and held them in utter contempt.
Under the shade of trees.
Qiaoxiu held Liu'er's hand tightly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Lu Qingqing told her to keep a close eye on people, and she held Liu'er's hand tightly without letting go.
The two of them watched as a group of people cried, shouted, and tried to save lives.
Mu Daye has arrived.
He had just gone to the river to wash up and shave his long beard. After being in the mountains for several days, he was smelly and dirty, and he was afraid of scaring people.
"Liu'er, I'm back."
He still habitually called her Liu'er.
Liu'er nodded.
Mu Daye looked her over carefully and felt that she had changed a lot.
His eyes held something new, as if a story had been added to a blank sheet of paper.
Did Doctor Lu remind her of something again?
"Mu Daye, are you injured?"
Liu'er looked at him.
At this moment, her eyes returned to their former innocent state.
No, don't worry.
Liu'er didn't say anything more, shook Qiaoxiu's hand, and lowered her head to play with the foxtail grass.
"Mu Daye, I'm entrusting Sister Liu'er to you!"
Qiaoxiu left after saying that and ran off to help.
Half an hour later, Lu Qingqing and Doctor Pang successfully amputated the arm.
Everyone's wounds have been bandaged up.
Magistrate Xu led his men in retreat.
Xu Rui didn't leave.
He took out a few blades of grass from the blood-stained cloth bag and came to Lu Qingqing.
"Qingqing, do you think this is a rejuvenating herb?"
Lu Qingqing's eyes lit up: "Really! You actually know him! That's rare!"
This kind of climate is rarely seen, at least in Ming'an County.
There were actually some in that mountain.
Huichuncao, also known as Huixincao, deer antler and lingzhi, both the grass and the root can be used.
It has high medicinal value, including tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, and treating mumps and whooping cough!
Lu Qingqing carefully put it away.
A smile appeared in Xu Rui's eyes.
By this time, the injured had all been carried home, leaving only a pile of tattered clothes on the ground.
Several pieces of clothing were stained with grayish-brown mud.
There was a piece of gravel the size of an egg lying nearby.
Those must have fallen into the pockets of the injured people when they got stuck in the crevice and brought them back.
That stone...
Lu Qingqing stared at it for a while, then suddenly went forward to pick it up.
Unexpectedly, Xu Rui also happened to be picking it up.
Their two hands were placed together.
The two looked up at the same time.
This was the first time Lu Qingqing had seen Xu Rui's eyes up close.
Slender, almond-shaped eyes.
The dark pupils are like a universe containing all things, filled with infinite mysteries that invite exploration.
She only stopped staring when she realized she had been staring for a while.
"Well, I think this stone is a bit special."
Xu Rui's ears were as red as ripe mountain fruits, and he gripped the stone tightly.
She lowered her eyes and softly hummed in agreement.
"I think so too."
