The young man sighed, “The woman is alright; most of her injuries are external. Her internal injuries can be treated with medicine for three months and she will recover. However, the burns on her face are too severe. Although they can be healed, they will inevitably leave scars. The man’s ribs and kneecaps have been set, and his head injury has been treated. He is not in any serious condition for now, but we need to leave him here to see if he can wake up. The most serious problem is that his right ankle bone is shattered and cannot be reattached. Our doctor, Dr. Chen, said that if the bone fragments are left in his body, they will damage other tendons and blood vessels. He suggested that the broken bone in his ankle be amputated.”
Upon hearing this, both the grandfather and grandson turned pale.
Old Master Li swayed, feeling dizzy and his vision blurring.
Xiaolian quickly helped him up.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the porcelain bottle in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said...
"Grandpa, medicine, the medicine the employer gave us!"
Grandpa Li realized what was happening, and suddenly gripped the thing in his hand tightly, afraid of dropping it, and said anxiously.
"By the way, we have medicine here that can treat internal injuries and broken bones."
Seeing the two of them like this, the young man assumed they were desperate and grasping at straws, saying, "You'd better make a decision soon, otherwise if you damage your tendons and veins, you might have to have your whole leg amputated."
Old Master Li's breath hitched.
Xiao Lian hurriedly said, "Young man, could you please take this medicine to Doctor Chen? This medicine was a gift from a noble person, so it must be effective."
The boy frowned. "A gift from a noble person? Who is it? What kind of medicine is it?"
After saying that, he shook his head again, "Even the imperial medicine in the palace is fine for internal injuries, but I have never heard of it being able to heal broken bones."
Upon hearing this, the two men turned even paler.
But the medicine was given by the employer, and if the employer said it was okay, then it was okay.
Old Master Li gritted his teeth and pleaded again, "Please help me, young man."
The boy shook his head helplessly, took the porcelain bottle and box, and said, "Alright, I'll have Dr. Chen examine it first, but you should discuss it quickly."
After saying that, he turned and went back to the medical room.
The room was empty except for six beds covered with white sheets.
At this moment, only two beds were occupied by the Li siblings, who were still unconscious.
Li Erhua's face was wrapped in gauze, and other parts of her body were also treated with medicine.
Li Shurong's head was also wrapped with several layers of gauze, and a wooden board was placed under his knees and secured with gauze.
There was only a doctor and an apprentice in the room.
Dr. Chen is writing out prescriptions for internal and external medications to treat the leg after amputation.
Upon seeing the bottom of the document, I asked, "Have you made a decision?"
The boy said helplessly, "I'm still considering it."
Dr. Chen paused slightly, frowning as he said, "You haven't explained the situation clearly to them; this matter can't be delayed any longer."
The young man said, "I have spoken to them, but they haven't made a decision yet."
They raised their hands, seemingly both amused and exasperated, as if they had just thought of something.
"They even claimed to have medicine that could treat internal injuries and broken bones, saying it was a gift from a noble person. They were just desperate and grasping at straws."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen frowned even more deeply, his gaze falling on the porcelain bottle and box in the man's hand, his face full of disapproval.
He put down his pen, intending to go out and persuade them himself.
Unexpectedly, they smelled a medicinal fragrance that instantly cleared their minds.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at the porcelain bottle in his disciple's hand, the stopper of which had been removed, and immediately snatched it away.
Outside, the grandfather and grandson stared intently at the curtain, their hearts pounding in their throats.
They were terrified that the doctor would come out and tell them that it wouldn't work and they would have to amputate the foot.
Just then, the curtain was lifted, and Doctor Chen strode out.
The two had just been imagining things in their minds when they saw Doctor Chen actually come out.
In an instant, his face turned ashen, filled with despair and hopelessness, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
As soon as Dr. Chen approached, Old Master Li swayed and almost fainted.
"Grandpa!" Xiaolian quickly stepped forward to support him.
Dr. Chen quickly helped him up, saying, "Help him sit down first."
He called over his disciple, who quickly inserted silver needles into several of his acupoints.
Old Master Li finally regained some consciousness, and tears streamed down his face.
"Doctor, please, please save my grandson, please."
Doctor Chen sighed, "I will do my best to save this old man, but..."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and held the porcelain box and bottle up to the two of them.
"Where did you get this? Do you know how to use it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaolian immediately repeated what her employer had said to the doctor.
Then, cautiously, she asked, "Doctor, can this cure my older brother's foot?"
Dr. Chen shook his head thoughtfully.
The grandfather and grandson's hearts sank again upon seeing each other.
But then I heard him say...
"Among the pills in this bottle, some are indeed top-grade medicinal materials for treating internal injuries. I couldn't smell the other ingredients, but the pills should indeed have the effects they claim. As for this bone-healing ointment, I can confirm that some of it is also made from extremely rare and top-grade medicinal materials, but I can't guarantee whether it will have the effects described by the person who gave it to me. After all, I have never heard of any medicine that can heal broken bones."
Upon hearing this, the grandfather and grandson exchanged a helpless glance.
Xiaolian gritted her teeth, "Then, can my older brother try it first?"
Dr. Chen sighed, "This medicine will definitely take some time to work, but your brother's foot injury is very serious. If we delay any longer, it will affect his entire leg. So now it's up to you, the family, to decide."
The two opened their mouths slightly, understanding what the doctor meant.
If you choose to use medication, and if it's truly effective, that's good.
If this is ineffective, Li Shurong will inevitably have to have his entire leg amputated because he missed the optimal time.
But if we don't use medicine, then we have to amputate the foot.
Ultimately, the choice is theirs to make.
"I'll give them the medicine first. You should decide as soon as possible. I can only give you a maximum of one hour."
After Dr. Chen finished speaking, he took the medicine and went back into the doctor's room.
When Li's father and Li Shuheng, who had rushed over after hearing the news, arrived, they found the grandfather and grandson looking like they had lost their souls, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Father, Xiaolian, how are the eldest and second children?"
The two turned their heads in a daze.
Upon seeing them, Xiaolian couldn't help but cry again, but she still managed to clearly recount what had happened.
The old man sat to one side, completely lost and unable to make a decision.
A moment of carelessness could cost you a leg; this is a decision that cannot be made lightly.
After hearing this, Li's father turned to look at the clinic, at the heavy bag of silver money in his hand, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed pain.
Li Shuheng's face also turned pale, his eyes filled with hatred and self-blame.
If I hadn't been so useless, the Dong family wouldn't have dared to bully my second sister like this, and my eldest brother wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
Father Li clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bloodshot.
Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's try. I trust my employer. If it really doesn't work, then it's his fate. In the end, he can't even save this leg."
When Dr. Chen learned of their decision, he let out a long sigh.
He could understand the family's wishful thinking, so he didn't try to persuade them any further.
Moreover, he also had his own selfish motives.
He also wanted to see if the bone-healing ointment would work.
Although he thought it was impossible, he could smell that the medicinal herbs in this medicine were not only rare and of the highest quality.
They are all aimed at external injuries and musculoskeletal issues.
Since the Rejuvenation Pill was so effective, he also wanted to know if this thing could be effective as well.
