Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 467: Doctor Sun's Medical Skills

Three people were lying on the door panel, their faces were as white as paper and their hair was disheveled.

In such cold weather, everyone's head was covered in sweat.

Doctor Sun squatted there and checked each one. Without raising his head, he said to Shen Yu, "Yuzhi girl, go to the room where I live in the front yard and get the medicine box I brought with me."

"And bring the unused external injury medicine that I prepared a few days ago. Put it on the small table next to the medicine box."

Shen Yu agreed and was about to go out, but Jiang was afraid that she would fall down in a hurry, so she hurried to follow: "I'll go with you, wait for me to light the oil lamp."

It was pitch black outside. Although he was at home, he had to go out through the small door in the backyard to get to the front yard. Shen Yu was more than happy to have someone to keep him company.

The two of them immediately lit the oil lamp, held up an umbrella, and walked out. Li was anxiously shouting behind them: "Slow down, don't fall again, you two."

Doctor Sun said to Li: "Sister-in-law Shen, do you have any bamboo boards or other useful things at home? This man has a broken leg bone. After applying medicine, he needs a splint to fix it."

Li was in a hurry and couldn't think of anything suitable for a moment. She was so anxious that she walked around the shop looking around.

Zheng Sanniang was quick-witted and asked, "Doctor Sun, can I use the big bamboo clips for holding buns?"

Doctor Sun had been staying in the kitchen these days and was familiar with the utensils. He nodded and said, "That will do, too. Break it in half and use it first."

Doctor Sun pressed the acupuncture points on the injured man's calf to stop the bleeding, and said, "Also, find some clean cloth strips. We'll need them later."

Zheng Sanniang and Li agreed and hurried out.

Shen Yu had already brought the medicine box and a packet of external injury medicine, and Jiang also carefully brought a basin of hot water and a new cloth.

Doctor Sun asked the strong men who followed him to help hold the injured person's body down and prevent him from moving, and then began to clean, apply medicine and bandage the injured person.

The Li family brought a few large bamboo clips, some clean cotton cloth and a pair of scissors.

Zhao Erhe took the bamboo clip and, as Doctor Sun said, pressed it against his leg and pulled it apart with force. The bamboo clip split into two wide pieces of bamboo.

Zheng Sanniang quickly went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife. Zhao Erhe took it and with a few quick cuts, he smoothed out the burrs on the broken bamboo.

Li and Shen Yu were there, using scissors to cut the cotton cloth into wide strips, ready for Doctor Sun to use for bandaging the wound.

Everyone worked together and finally bandaged the wounds of both men.

Although both of them were still in pain, it was obviously not as uncomfortable as before.

The one with the injured arm looked seriously injured with blood all over his body, but fortunately there were no broken bones.

At this time, he stopped the bleeding, sprinkled medicine on the wound, and bandaged it. He even sat up from the door panel with the help of his companions, and looked at Doctor Sun in a daze as he treated the third person.

Although the one with the injured waist screamed the loudest, after Doctor Sun examined him, found the right position and massaged him vigorously for a while, he let him stand up and try to move around.

At first the man didn't dare to move and just lay there stiffly.

Doctor Sun stood up and clapped his hands, wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and encouraged him: "You felt pain when you came here, it was because the tendons and bones in your waist were twisted when you fell."

"I checked for you. The bones are not dislocated. They have been straightened by kneading. Try to move and see if it still hurts."

The man then moved his body carefully with half belief and half doubt. Immediately he stopped crying "ouch" and instead said "eh" in surprise and was about to sit up.

Doctor Sun quickly held him down and supported him from behind, saying, "Get up slowly. Although I've straightened you up, you're still a little hurt. You still can't stand any big movements."

"Apply some plasters later, don't do any strenuous work, and rest quietly for seven or eight days and you will be fine.

As Doctor Sun was giving instructions, the man slowly sat up with the force he used to help him up, and then slowly stood up. He said with a look of surprise, "It really doesn't hurt that much, but it still hurts a little to turn around."

"After I fell, the pain was so severe that I couldn't move. I thought my waist was broken and I would never be able to get up again. I was so scared."

As he said this, he raised his sleeves in fear and wiped the sweat from his head.

Among the people who followed him were his relatives and friends, and they also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Everyone saw that Doctor Sun treated the injuries with skill and experience.

After his treatment, the expressions of the three injured people improved greatly, which shows that his medical skills are excellent.

A group of people praised Dr. Sun's medical skills generously.

Zhao Erhe felt relieved when he saw that the injuries of the three injured had been treated. He finally completed the task assigned by Master Liu.

He hurriedly said to everyone, "Everyone, the wounds have been treated, let's go."

"During this important festival, let's not disturb Miss Shen's family from celebrating the New Year here."

Unexpectedly, no one responded after this was said. Everyone looked at each other, with embarrassed expressions.

After a while, the man who had injured his arm and was sitting on the door said with a bitter face: "Alas, it's easy for the yamen runner to say that."

"But it's the middle of the night and it's snowing. Our house has collapsed under the snow. Where can we go?"

At the end, he even started to cry.

The strong men who came to help also sighed.

Someone said sympathetically: "These houses were the first to be built in that area. They are more than 20 years old."

"I thought it was solid and would be fine even in the summer rains, but who would have thought it would fail after a heavy snowfall."

Another person who lived close to them said, "Their family members are still digging out things from the old house. For the time being, even if they go to seek refuge with relatives or friends, they won't be able to find a carriage or horse."

Zhao Erhe said in embarrassment: "Even if your house collapsed, you can't just rely on Miss Shen's place."

"Let's go back first, and discuss it with your families, and think about where to go for refuge."

Shen Yu was listening nearby, and on the surface he remained calm, but in his heart he nodded wildly: "Brother Yacha, you are awesome, what you said is absolutely right."

"My family is just a small food store, and we don't have the capacity to accommodate so many people."

Zhao Erhe continued to persuade: "You are lucky. Fortunately, Doctor Sun lives here these days. Master Liu instructed me to come here to ask Doctor Sun to treat you."

"Otherwise, all the shops in this city are closed for the New Year, and there is nowhere to find a doctor for you."

The strong men also thought so. A large group of people couldn't stay in someone else's restaurant all the time. What's more, the restaurant was full of ladies and it would not be convenient for them to stay here.
