Niu Shiming's right foot was amputated two inches from the ankle upwards, and the prosthesis of the second injury did not affect normal walking at all.

Luo Yu looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old Niu Shiming, who seemed to be immersed in his illusory world, indifferent to what was happening outside.

When Luo Yu measured the size of his left foot with a small wooden stick, he also sat on the chair indifferently like an outsider.

Niu Jinda and the two old wives both had tears in their eyes, and their pitiful appearance made Luo Yu's heart ache, and Li Xiuning, who was combing the woman's bun, silently comforted the two anxious aunts.

I couldn't stand it anymore, Luo Yu really couldn't help it, some words were like stalks in his throat, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy, but in order to take care of Niu Shiming's face, he said to Niu Jinda and others: "Uncle Niu, please go and heat the beef tendon first, and some sizes of little nephews still have to be calculated." ”

Niu Jinda understood, nodded and said, "Okay, the old man will go." After speaking, he took the two wives who were not worried and walked out together.

Luo Yu glanced at Li Xiuning, and he didn't know if she understood what she meant.

Li Xiuning blinked, indicating that he understood, and went out with the three of them.

There were only two people left in the room, Luo Yu coughed, pulled a stool and sat in front of him, and said, "Do you think you are pitiful?" ”

Niu Shiming didn't react, but anger had risen in his eyes, Luo Yu struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "I also think you are very pitiful, you are crippled at a young age, and life is better than death......"

Niu Shiming's head was raised, and his eyes looking at Luo Yu were as sharp as knives, if his eyes could kill, Luo Yu would have been dismantled.

"Your father and he have always blamed himself, blaming himself for not protecting your brother, why didn't he die?"

Luo Yu raised his voice and continued: "But look at your current appearance, I am worthless for your parents and deceased brothers, manly husband, such a little blow will be sluggish, are you worthy of them?" ”

Niu Shiming held back his anger and still didn't speak, but tears flashed in his eyes.

Luo Yu said again: "Sun Bin was tortured by cutting off his knees and wrote the book of soldiers, Taishi Gong was punished by the palace and wrote a glorious history, which has been passed down through the ages. ”

Niu Shiming finally calmed down, what the person in front of him, who was no more than two or three years older than himself, said that it really made sense, wouldn't he still have a hand if his leg was broken? The Niu family is a family of poetry and books, and if they can't go to the battlefield, they will learn literature, and they will study hard for more than ten years, but they don't believe that they have no achievements.

Thinking through this, he muttered: "But when will my eldest brother and second brother's revenge be avenged!" ”

Luo Yu finally heard his voice, hoarse and dry, it should have been a long time since he spoke.

"Your eldest brother and second brother fought for the country, and they died a well-deserved death, besides, if they know that the younger brother they risked their lives to protect is now so decadent, can they rest in peace in the heavenly spirit?"

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have tortured everyone who cared about me like this, Brother Luo, I heard my father say that you can help me stand up, is this true?"

Niu Shiming was finally awakened by Luo Yu's words, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it made sense to encounter great changes and drill the horns of the bull, if this situation dragged on for another two or three years, no one would come to relieve him, and his life would be wasted.

Luo Yu smiled: "I can not only help you stand up, but also let you run and jump freely, but you have to suffer a lot in the early stage, can you persevere?" ”

Niu Shiming looked at Luo Yu in disbelief and exclaimed, "Really? As long as you can get back on your feet, no matter how much hardship you endure! ”

Luo Yu said: "Okay, don't be too excited, I'll go get busy first, and call your mother and them over by the way." With that, he turned and opened the door and went out.

Several people outside were waiting in the patio, and when they saw Luo Yu coming out, they hurriedly greeted them, Luo Yu nodded at them and said, "Two aunts, go and accompany Shi Ming, the little nephew and Uncle Niu are going to make prosthetics." ”

The two hurriedly thanked Luo Yu, and then walked quickly into Niu Shiming's house, and then there were painful cries and comforting sounds.

Luo Yu pulled Li Xiuning to Niu Jinda, who was boiling beef tendons, cut off the Bailian steel bar he had prepared according to the size, fixed it with a thin wire, and made it into a foot-shaped frame in a short time.

Niu Jinda naturally learned Luo Yu's steps to do the other one, because Niu Shiming only injured his right foot, so the two of them did a frame with their right foot, saving a lot of things, Li Xiuning blinked and looked at it with big eyes, full of pride.

Then put the prepared steel frame into the prepared wooden box of suitable size and three inches high, and then pour in the hot beef tendon, and poke a few times with a steel bar as you pour to prevent bubbles from appearing in the middle.

After all the pouring, cover the lid, the shape of the bottom of the lid is also rubbed from the truncated right foot of Niu Shiming, and wait for the shape to fit the cut-off surface of the wound.

Niu Jinda's one is also done, and now he can only wait for the cow tendon to cool down slowly, and during this time, Luo Yu has to explain to Niu Jinda the precautions for making prosthetics.

This beef tendon will become hard after cooling, and there will be wear and tear when walking, so it is a consumable.

When the hardened beef tendon comes into contact with the broken section of the wound, it will naturally cause pain, and it will be very painful at first, so Luo Yu made a special explanation to Niu Shiming.

Almost half an hour later, Luo Yu opened the wooden box, and a translucent cow tendon foot about a foot high appeared in front of him, which was very realistic, and the steel frame inside could be vaguely seen.

Luo Yu took a dagger, shaved off the burrs, polished it vigorously with burlap, and then rubbed it with vegetable oil with fine linen, and a prosthetic leg that was enough to mess with it was ready.

Niu Jinda didn't follow Luo Yu to open another wooden box this time, he only left it for next time, he had to remember how Luo Yu polished it.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin also rushed over after finishing their military affairs, and they were very curious about the prosthetic leg that Luo Yu said.

After a few people saw the ceremony, Li Yuan said: "Virtuous son-in-law, how is the progress?" ”

Luo Yu replied: "Lord Taishan, the little son-in-law is fortunate not to be dishonored, do you see, does it look like it?" ”

Li Yuan's father and son looked at the prosthetic leg in Luo Yu's hand, their eyes were straight, and Li Yuan exclaimed: "If you don't say that this is made of cow tendons, you really can't see that it's fake, what about Shi Ming?" Hurry up and load it for him and try it. ”

Luo Yu hurriedly said: "Lord Taishan, the son-in-law has a request, the first time the trial touches the injury, it may be more painful, or the son-in-law should go over and inform Shi Ming of the precautions first." ”

Li Yuan said: "Go ahead, we will wait here." ”

After Luo Yu saluted, he hurriedly entered Niu Shiming's house with the cow's tendons, and then his two mothers also withdrew, and after closing the door, they came to Niu Jinda's side, and after greeting the Li family's father and son, they waited anxiously together.

Luo Yu wrapped the section of Niu Shiming's broken foot with a thin soft cloth, and slowly put the prosthesis on, and there was a space height of about three or four inches reserved on it, which could be close to his calf and play a role in fixing the prosthesis.

Now is the experimental stage, there is no need to tie it up, and it will be reinforced with cloth strips when you get used to it in the future, and running and jumping will not be a problem.

Niu Shiming raised his foot and tried the weight, it felt very suitable, he was very happy, without waiting for Luo Yu to speak, he immediately stepped on his right foot on the ground, but at the moment when the cross-section of the wound came into contact with the prosthesis, he exhaled in pain, and then immediately sat back on the bed.

When the few people outside heard his cry of pain, their hearts rose to their throats, and the two mothers stood up and were about to go over, when they were stopped by Niu Jinda.

Luo Yu had already guessed that this was the result, and stretched out his hand to support Niu Shiming, who was about to fall, and said: "Don't be too anxious, take your time, although your wound has been two years, it has not borne your weight since it scabbed, and the cow tendon hardens after cooling down, of course it will hurt." ”

Niu Shiming couldn't bear to stop screaming, and just stood up, he felt that it was nothing too bad to suffer a little.

So he slowly stood up with his left foot as the center of gravity, and his right foot tentatively touched the ground until he could bear the pain, and then slowly shifted his weight to the right.

Holding the stool with his right hand, he borrowed a little strength, and just held on to the tea kung fu, and his whole body was drenched with sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

It's already the middle of the day, and today doesn't seem to be as hot as a few days ago, but it's still uncomfortable to stay in the house, seeing that he is sweating profusely, Luo Yu poured a cup of tea for him to drink, and said the precautions for using this cow tendon prosthesis.

After another tea time, he had slowly gotten used to the weight on his right foot, but it wasn't enough to walk.

The force we have to lift our feet first and then lower them, and there is also an oblique force forward or backward, and Niu Shiming's foot is cut off two inches above the ankle.

This place happened to be the force point of the oblique force, so he not only had to bear the impact of up and down, but also had to endure the push and pull force of the front and back, and the degree of pain can be imagined.

Luo Yu saw that he was already able to stand firmly, so he said: "Now you raise your right foot and step forward slowly, feel where the weight of your body is pressing, and then modify the curvature inside." ”

Niu Shiming nodded, slowly lifted his right foot, three points off the ground, stepped forward, and the moment he stuck to the ground, a huge pain hit, but he gritted his teeth and insisted, without shouting, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and the nails of his right hand scratched out a few shallow marks on the wooden bench.

Luo Yu admired in his heart, the people of the Niu family are all tough guys, he said softly: "I feel pain because after you lift your foot, there is a slight gap between the wound section and the contact surface of the prosthesis, plus the effect of the front thrust, so I told you at the beginning, it was very painful in the early stage, how, can you persevere?" ”

Niu Shiming took a deep breath, drank the tea handed over by Luo Yu, nodded and said, "Thank you brother-in-law for your encouragement, my little brother can persevere, compared to the feeling of rotting in bed, what is this pain?" ”

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and withdrew his right foot, and poked it out again, this time it was much better, he didn't grit his teeth again, but the sweat flowed more.

practiced non-stop for an hour, during which Luo Yu reported the situation outside, and by the way, he brought in some food and water.

Chen Shi passed slowly like this, Li Xiuning came to the window to take a look, and said softly to Luo Yu: "Husband, lunch has been arranged, when will you be okay?" ”

Luo Yu glanced at Niu Shiming, who could slowly move forward and retreat, and said to Li Xiuning: "The results have been seen at noon today, and the junior brother Shiming can go out for lunch by himself." ”

Niu Shiming heard Luo Yu say this, walked to the door step by step, opened the door, and walked out with his legs raised under the surprised eyes of Li Yuan and others.

He seemed to have not seen the sun for a long time, his face was a little pale, and today's sunlight was not very dazzling, but he was stimulated to tears.

Niu Jinda wanted to step over to help him, but when he saw him standing firmly at the door, tears streaming down his face, he resisted the urge to stride, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the two wives who were about to rush forward.

They were so happy that they forgot to cry, Luo Yu really did this kind of thing, and with gratitude in his heart, he made a big gift to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Shi Mingxian's nephew can stand and walk as usual again, Xiao Yu should be the first merit, enter the elder brother, the old man has a capable son-in-law, you have a virtuous nephew, hahaha......"

Niu Jinda also laughed and said: "It's the pole, it's the pole, what about Xiao Yu?" Come and have a few drinks with us at noon. ”

Li Xiuning's voice came from the door: "Father, Uncle Niu, today's protagonist is Shi Ming, don't pour my husband wine anymore!" ”

These words caused everyone to laugh again, Li Xiuning pulled Luo Yu to Li Shimin's side, and watched Niu Shiming move towards Niu Jinda and his wife.

Niu Shiming walked forward slowly, although it was still a little painful, but he could bear it, he came to Niu Jinda and the three of them, and in the eyes of everyone, he arched his hand and said: "The child is not sensible, let the father and mother worry, it is inconvenient to perform the full ceremony today, but the child hopes that the father and mother can feel it, and will work hard in the future to repay the kindness of hard work." ”

Niu Jinda stretched out his hand and patted Niu Shiming's shoulder, the old man was relieved, and said with a smile: "Good, good, worthy of my descendants of the Niu family." ”

The two mothers wanted to help him, but they heard Niu Shiming say: "Two mothers, you have worked hard all these years, don't worry, the child has grown up, and I will definitely honor you two in the future." ”

The two mothers cried happily, wanting to help but not daring to help, and the helpless appearance was distressing.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Now everyone is happy, Jinda, when the big white floats, I still have a burning knife, let's go!" If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

The crowd laughed, and the two drunkards had to get drunk again.

Luo Yu didn't have such a good mouth, as soon as he came out of the gate of Niufu, Zhang Yang came to look for him, looking at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, there should be something big happening somewhere.

In such a situation now, can you go south to Jiandong with peace of mind?
