On the third day after the furniture was finished, it rained heavily again, and the roof was facing the first test of rain after it was built.

Overall, it was qualified, and there were only two places where rain was leaking into the house!

One of them had a large flow rate, but it only took two minutes to wet a large piece of the ground, and on a rainy day in winter, I certainly didn't want to risk getting wet and cold, so I had to put two clay pots in the house to catch water.

It rained heavily for a long time, and after the rain, I climbed to the roof of the house with a ladder to fix the leak.

If there is a rain leak, the tile can only be removed from the nearest eaves from the beginning, until the leak is repaired, and then all the removed tiles are rebuilt one by one.

If I stepped on it directly, it would have broken the tile, because the tile couldn't hold my weight at all.

The beginning went smoothly, but something unexpected happened......

The ladder in the open air was very slippery after being wet by the rain, and when I stepped on the first step of the ladder from the roof, my feet slipped and fell to the ground from a height of about 3 meters!

Although he tried his best to avoid physical injury, his left foot, which was first grounded, still had a big problem.

I felt a slight "click" in my ears, and a sharp pain immediately passed into my brain, and then my mind went blank......

"Ahh~~~ It hurts"

After sitting on the ground, my hands didn't care about the mud in my hands, and I quickly hugged my left foot and ankle and yelled, this pain is indescribable, and the pain in the winter is less than half a minute, and sweat breaks out on my forehead.

I'm almost rolling on the ground now, but that only hurts me more, and it doesn't do any good for the wound!

The touch of my hand let me know that the bones were not broken or misaligned, and the fear in my heart was a little less than it was at the beginning.

If it reaches the point of fracture, then it is almost certain that there is no way to get reasonable treatment here, which means that the left foot is wasted, then it will definitely be over, even if it can survive for a while, it will only be dead......

After getting used to the pain a little, I gently let go of one hand to check on my ankle.

However, in just one minute, the ankle part was completely swollen, and even the half of the heel was swollen together, and now it looks as fat as a pig's trotters, and it is accompanied by bruising, local bruising, etc.

Although there is no fracture, it is not clear whether there will be a bone crack, anyway, I can be 100% sure that it is at least a sprain, and in this case, all the work will have to face a stoppage!

Suddenly I thought of the idiom "Misfortune is not a single line", I guess it is me!

My situation fits perfectly with it, and one disaster after another comes one after another, which makes people angry!

I knew that it was useless to just sit on the ground and watch, and the top priority was to find some effective and simple treatment, even if it was to comfort and comfort myself, and the first thing that came to mind was the emergency treatment for sprains that I had seen before.

But before that, you have to crawl slowly into the house, at this time the mud is just after the rain has passed, and the ground is so damp that almost the whole pants are covered with mud, and both hands are all over, even the ankles are smeared with a layer of mud on the hands!

It's torture, a broken foot in the middle of winter, and then sitting in the mud!

The process of returning to the house made me exert all my strength, almost gritting my teeth and persevering, the intense pain made my body sweat constantly, and then soaked my whole body clothes.

At this time, the scene is also miserable with a hint of funny, like a monkey walking on three legs, one leg can only be crossed back.

......

Sitting on the bricked floor of the house, first taking off the soaked pants and shoes, this step is considered to be deadly, but you have to do it, because the cold is just as biting.

The double effect of pain and cold does not cost you your life, but it is also worse!

I have to say that because of laziness, I don't want to go to the well to take it as I go, and now there is a full pot of fresh water in the house, which is also a point of thankfulness, at least I can guarantee that I can go to the well to fetch water in two days.

I slowly tilted the clay pot, and used the clay pot to pick up half a basin of water to clean the mud-stained parts such as my hands and feet, otherwise this body would be dirty wherever I went, and after drying it, I quickly put on a pair of clean pants.

The cleaned injured part is more obvious than at first, but after the swelling, I can't see the reason, so I can only guess that I will treat it with the method I saw before.

The first step is to raise the foot pad to a few tens of centimeters to facilitate venous return, thereby reducing swelling and pain.

When I use something to raise my feet, it does have a little effect, although it is not as obvious as after the medication, and now it is great to be able to reduce the pain by a bit!

The second step is to apply an ice pack or cold towel to the injured area so that the capillary constriction can reduce some of the pain.

But I don't have ice packs and towels, and the misery of life is indescribable, so I can only pour out the dirty water in the clay pot, and pour half a basin of water with a summer short sleeve, dipped in cold water to wrap the left ankle to play the role of ice!

The temperature drops down after the rain, and it is not easy to deal with cold water for a long time in this weather.

Then I can only retreat, there are only these two means that can be used, I don't have more and better means, and my knowledge is very limited, so I can only pray for the problem itself!

......

After a few hours, there were no new problems on my feet, and there was no obvious obstacle to moving my toes except for the pain that was still slowly getting used to, proving that the situation was a little better than I expected.

I think it should belong to the type of bruise and sprain, and the reaction at this time is estimated to be no fracture and dislocation, which is considered lucky!

But don't be too happy, there is an old saying called "a hundred days of broken bones", although that is just a metaphor, but it is also more appropriate, not to say that you really rest for a hundred days, but you can't do heavy work before the year is certain!

Fortunately, there are still a lot of cornmeal and cassava in the house, especially the dozens of catties of cassava that I just dug a few days ago, which can ensure that I don't have to go out to find food in the days when my mobility is the weakest!

The most troublesome thing is feeding the sheep and fetching water, and the left foot is completely unable to get off the ground, and it hurts when it touches the ground, which is really uncomfortable with the work of using the legs.

However, he had no choice but to find a wooden stick to make a crutch, so that he could barely move around a nearby area.

The greens in the field are the most lush, and they will slowly grow old and wither after half a month, which also indirectly helps me.

The food of the sheep is the whole green plant, each sheep is about two green vegetables a day, and there are only three or four hundred green vegetables in the field, and a small part is reserved for seeds.

Therefore, it can't be too extravagant, and it can only be guaranteed that they won't go hungry, and fetching water for sheep can only be done once every two days.

I found that every time I was hurt, the sheep always followed me to bear this injury, which seemed very innocent, but there was nothing I could do, which is also the disadvantage of raising animals in this environment, an unsolvable problem!

......

The time to rest at home is not completely idle, after all, the hands are still intact, and it is very boring to do nothing during the recuperation period.

In addition to three meals a day, I made two pairs of sandals while at home.

A week later, after a few days of recuperation, my left foot was barely able to lay on the ground, and although I still felt pain and was still some time away from walking normally, at least in my recovery, my worries were completely relieved.

In addition to compressing the feet with cold water from time to time these days, another practice is to boil a lot of dandelion water for internal use, I don't know if it has any effect, but I know that its effect is to reduce inflammation and fire, so it should be comforted!

Walking on the ground with my feet bouncing around, the pain was much less than at the beginning, and I could do more things, so I made a wooden box that blocked four windows in my spare time.

Once again, the efficiency of sawing planks decreased, and only two pieces could be sawed a day, but fortunately, one could basically be made from one, and it only took three days to sawn five planks plus the production time.

The amount of work is not large, but there is a lot of consumption, the cornmeal milled at home has been emptied, the mutton has been wiped out in the past few days, and the fish pond is under the hillside, and now the daily food has become a vegan combination of cassava and greens.

......

Ten days later, the foot injury has further improved after more than half a month of recuperation, and he is barely able to walk normally.

Of course, if you exert yourself, it will still hurt, you can't run and use force, and I'm afraid that the condition will recur because of an accident!

The result of these ten days was sawing a few more planks to make four stools, and the reason for doing so much was not because there was nothing to do, because there was no need for anything inside or outside the house.

It can also be used during breaks, and it is something that I have always wanted but have no time to do, and I used to sit directly on the ground or replace it with a rock.

Walking slowly is no longer a problem, it seems that it is time to go out and solve the food crisis, there is not much peanut oil left, and the fish that I have been tired of eating before is starting to miss me again after more than ten days and eight days of being completely vegetarian, today I want to go to the fish pond and catch two fish back.

I haven't been to the fish pond for more than half a month, and there is only forty or fifty centimeters of water in it, and if it wasn't for two rains to replenish it, it would have dried up, and it broke my heart after seeing the situation inside!

More than half of the fish in it had died for unknown reasons and were eaten by the remaining fish, leaving only the bones left at the bottom of the pond.

The cause of the problem may be a lack of oxygen, or the seawater content in the water after two rains is too low, after all, it is full of saltwater fish.

The remaining twenty or thirty catties of carnivorous fish in it are alive and well by feeding directly on these dead fish, but I don't want to do so much, and I can't help the lack of water in the fish pond for the time being.

It is estimated that the water in it will not be replaced until the legs are healed, and the rest of the fish will be fished up by me in a fit of anger and taken home in two trips to be solved.

One of the things that is not very good is that the water in the fish pond is very dirty, and I look at these fish a little disgusted, and I feel like I can't eat them, but I have to eat them in order to survive!

With the exception of one fish with a good taste, which was used for lack of meat, all the other fish were made into dried fish, although they had a very touching taste and were good to use as a strategic reserve.
