Chapter 8: A Broken Leg

The three of them had a full meal, Guo'er patted her round belly and smiled happily, Guo Xiang was also very satisfied, the current fish and eggs are natural and inorganic, especially fragrant, which could not be eaten in the previous life, it is really delicious.

Wang Guiying was worried, the food was gone, and her son had to eat sweet potatoes every day before she sent the money back, but she was not afraid, that is, Guo'er and Guo Xiang, afraid that they would not be used to it.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll go buy some food. Do you know who has surplus food? Guo Xiang asked.

"At this time, only the village chief's house remains." Wang Guiying said, "Let's go again tomorrow, it's late today, it's dark and the road is slippery, be careful to wrestle." ”

"Mother, it's okay, you forgot that I have kung fu?" Guo Xiang smiled, if she doesn't buy it today, there will be no food tomorrow morning, she will be fine if she doesn't eat a meal, and the fruit is still too young to make her hungry.

"Then be careful!" Wang Guiying said, took a flashlight from the house and put it into Guo Xiang's hand, "It's hard to walk after the rain, slow down." ”

"Hey, got it." Guo Xiang took the flashlight and responded happily.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, I bought twenty catties of grain for four yuan, which was originally more than a dime and a catty, but Guo Xiang didn't bring food stamps, and spent two cents a catty.

Guo Xiang carried twenty catties of grain and walked back, the road was very muddy, because it had rained and there were potholes everywhere, and some places had collapsed, she walked very carefully, in case the grain was dirty, even if it was cleaned, it was easy to become moldy in this weather.

Suddenly, there was a humming sound from the front, intermittently.

Although Guo Xiang is an atheist, there are still so many things in the world that cannot be explained by science, thinking of some ghost legends she heard before, her cold hair stood up, and she exclaimed in some horror: "Who is it, who is there?" ”

Picked up the flashlight and shone it at the sound, and found a half-old bicycle on the ground, and then looked forward, an old man with half-white hair fell into the ditch next to him, maybe he couldn't get up from the fall, his face was pale, and his mouth was humming.

Guo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a human.

Hurriedly found a slightly dry place to put down the food, jumped into the ditch to help the old man, "Uncle, how are you?" Where did you fall? ”

As soon as he helped the person, the uncle screamed "ah" in pain, "Slow down, my leg is broken......"

"Huh?" Guo Xiang was surprised, his leg was broken so badly?

Carefully helped the uncle to his feet, sat on the edge of the ditch, and then slowly moved his legs up.

picked up the flashlight and found a place to put it away, according to the uncle's legs, he pushed his trouser legs up, his fingers gently pressed and probed on the calf, and pressed it when he touched the misaligned place, and the old man screamed in pain again, and it was indeed a fracture.

"Uncle, your injuries are not light, I'll take you to the hospital." Guo Xiang hurriedly said.

"No, just send me home." The old man waved his hand.

"Then what's going on, your leg is broken, what if you don't go to the hospital? Broken legs are no joke. Guo Xiang was anxious.

She knew that the countryside people were poor and reluctant to spend money on treatment, but a broken leg was a big deal, and if she became disabled in order to save some money, it would be worth the loss.

"No, I'm a doctor myself, just send me home." The old man shook his head.

Only then did Guo Xiang notice that there was a medicine box tied to the back seat of the bicycle, this uncle should be the barefoot doctor in the village, right?

She knew that the medical conditions were not good during this period, there were no regular hospitals in the countryside, and generally barefoot doctors opened a simple health center.

"But your leg is broken......" Guo Xiang was anxious.

"It's fine, I can cure it myself." The old man insisted, "If you refuse to send me home, forget it, I'll go back myself." ”

The old man struggled to get up, Guo Xiang hurriedly held him down, his legs were broken, and he still walked, what should I do if the dislocation is more serious and the connection is not good?

"Okay, okay, can't I send you back?" Guo Xiang compromised, the old man was so stubborn.

She took a flashlight and took a picture on the side, picked up two slightly thick branches as splints and put them on both sides of the old man's calves, searched in the medicine box, found two bandages, and used bandages to fix the old man's legs with the branches to avoid secondary injury.

The old man looked at Guo Xiang in surprise, this girl knows how to heal?

After fixing the old man's legs, Guo Xiang lifted the bicycle up and put it in a stable place.

Propping up the tripod, he carefully helped the old man to sit on the back seat, carried his twenty catties of grain and put it on the bar in front of him, turned his head and asked, "Uncle, where is your home?" ”

"At the west end of the village, on the edge of the Plum Blossom River." Uncle said.

"Okay, I'll take you home." Guo Xiang nodded, pushed the bicycle and felt that something was wrong, only to find that the bicycle chain was broken with a flashlight, no wonder the uncle would fall.

I had no choice but to push and walk.

When he arrived at the west end of the village, Guo Xiang went to the door of a mud house with a red cross according to the uncle's instructions, parked the bicycle, and helped the uncle down.

The uncle handed the key to Guo Xiang and asked her to open the door, pulled the electric light wire next to the door, and the room suddenly lit up.

Guo Xiang helped the uncle into the house and looked inside the house.

There is a glass counter at the entrance, in which some commonly used Western medicines are placed, and there is a white wooden chair next to it.

There is a wooden medicine cabinet behind the counter, and there should be Chinese medicine in small drawers, and there is a row of Western medicine in front of it, and an aluminum box for needles.

Guo Xiang helped the uncle sit down on the white chair, folded the uncle's trouser legs and looked at it again, it was too dark outside just now to see clearly, and now there are some external injuries.

I found an alcohol cotton wool and tweezers on the medicine cabinet, took the tweezers and dipped the cotton wool in alcohol and wiped it off the wound on the old man's leg. After washing the wound and looking at the serious place, I found a bottle of Yunan Baiyao, sprinkled it with powder, and wrapped it in gauze.

The old man didn't say a word when he did this, but silently watched her do it, watching her wash and bandage skillfully, and he was even more sure that she had studied medicine.

"Uncle, your wound is fine, but I can't help this broken leg, I won't be bone-grafted." Guo Xiang said.

Although she was rotated in the whole department during the internship, she was not an orthopedic major after all, and she was afraid that if she didn't take it well, it would cause injury.

"I'll do it myself." The old man said.

Gently lifted the injured leg, let Guo Xiang take a low stool to set it up, untied the bandage that Guo Xiang had tied just now, pressed his calf with both hands, and with a force, only to hear the "click", a layer of cold sweat broke out on the old man's forehead.

"Help me tie it back on." The old man exhaled, and his face became more and more pale, and it seemed that the pain was not light.

"That's it?" Guo Xiang was surprised, and gently pressed the misplaced part just now with his hand, but he didn't seem to touch any bulges.

Guo Xiang was shocked, she had never seen a doctor who helped her bone graft after studying medicine for so long, this old man was not simple, at least he was no worse than his previous mentor in bone grafting.

Guo Xiang found a splint to fix the old man's calf again, and found some anti-inflammatory drugs from the medicine cabinet for the old man to eat, he glanced at Guo Xiang, and did not object, and ate it silently.
