Chapter 122 will hurt a lot.
In this era, traditional Chinese medicine is actually in a rather declining period.
Although some older generations still prefer traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine.
However, at that time, very few practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine had medical licenses; they were considered unlicensed.
Therefore, Zhou Qishan's question to Su Niannian was somewhat abrupt.
However, there was truly no one in his circle who could treat that old man's illness.
He was just giving it a try. Although Su Niannian looked young, he felt that she was a capable person.
Moreover, she had visited Zhongcaotang several times, and Zhou Qishan thought Su Niannian was a very nice person.
“Okay, when?” Su Niannian agreed immediately, which surprised Zhou Qishan.
"I need to talk to the old gentleman first. How about two days from now?" The old gentleman Zhou Qishan mentioned had a very eccentric temper.
He might not want such a young girl to examine him, so he gave the old man some time to persuade him.
Two days seems like a reasonable amount of time, and I think I can convince the old man.
"Okay, I'll come here in two days." Su Niannian nodded, indicating that she was ready.
"Okay!" Zhou Qishan felt that Su Niannian was not like an ordinary girl; she was decisive in her actions and had a good personality.
If the old man can really be cured, it will be of great benefit to the little girl's future, after all, the old man's identity is not ordinary.
After agreeing on a time, Zhou Qishan escorted Su Niannian away from Baicaotang.
Su Niannian returned to Gu Nan's side and told him what had happened inside. Gu Nan said he could come with Su Niannian later.
Su Niannian did not refuse. Letting Gu Nan accompany her meant that he cared about her, and it would also allow her to spend more time with Gu Nan. Why would she refuse?
Gu Zhendong sat in the back seat of Gu Nan's car, watching the two talk, and thought that Su Niannian's personality was really quite good.
Gu Nan has struck gold.
The three of them prepared to return to the village.
In less than an hour, the three of them returned to the village.
It was right in the afternoon, the time when people were supposed to start work, and there weren't many people in the village.
It happened when I was passing by someone's house and was seen by an elderly person who couldn't go to work.
But all I saw were two bicycles whizzing past my door.
The three of them returned to Gu Nan's house together, where Gu's mother and Gu Ningning were waiting in the courtyard.
Worried that they might be thirsty, Gu's mother had boiled some mung bean water with some sugar in advance. Now the temperature was just right and it wasn't too hot anymore.
After Su Niannian entered the courtyard, she parked her bicycle and greeted Gu's mother, Ningning.
"We're back." Su Niannian smiled, and Gu Ningning ran over to hug her.
Gu Ningning is now so fond of her future sister-in-law that she completely ignores her two older brothers.
Gu's mother walked over to Gu Nan and Gu Zhendong and helped hold their bicycles.
Gu Nan carried Gu Zhendong on his back and placed him on a chair with a backrest in the yard.
"Did things go smoothly?" Gu's mother asked Gu Nan.
"It went smoothly, and we even had a meal at a state-run restaurant," Gu Zhendong answered first.
Gu Nan simply nodded.
Then take the things out of Su Niannian's basket and put them on the table.
"Niannian also packed three meat dishes for you and Ningning to eat," Gu Nan said to his mother after putting down the three aluminum lunch boxes.
"This child, even when we go out to eat, he still thinks of me and Ningning." A gratified smile appeared on Gu's mother's face.
Su Niannian is truly a very nice young girl.
Su Niannian smiled and put away the oil paper packets containing the Chinese medicine.
"This contains Chinese medicine for soaking your brother's legs, and of course, there's also medicine for internal use. We'll use both internal and external medicine, a two-pronged approach," Su Niannian said with a smile. After taking Gu Zhendong's pulse, they could start preparing the Chinese medicine.
Gu Nan then placed the pastries and snacks that her older brother had been carrying on the table. "You and Ningning can eat these. Take Niannian's portion back with you."
Su Niannian smiled. Love and care are mutual. She liked this feeling, when she was thinking of others, she was also being thought of by others.
Gu Ningning opened an aluminum lunchbox, inside which was braised pork. Gu Ningning's eyes lit up.
"Is all of this meat?" Gu Ningning asked the two aluminum lunch boxes next to her.
“Yes, it’s all meat,” Su Niannian said with a smile.
"Great, there are cakes and pastries too! Ningning wants some."
"Then let's eat. From now on, we can eat whatever we want." Su Niannian stroked Gu Ningning's hair and handed her a small cake.
It's the kind of old-fashioned pastry, the most basic kind of small cake made with water, flour, and eggs.
Gu Ningning took it, broke off half of it, and held it to her mother's mouth.
"Mother won't eat," Gu's mother said instinctively, but Gu Ningning insisted that her mother eat.
Mother Gu then smiled and opened her mouth.
The family was enjoying a happy time together, and Gu Zhendong felt that this atmosphere was really good.
If it were my own leg...
Gu Zhendong's gaze fell on his legs.
Su Niannian noticed.
"Brother, may I take your pulse first?" Su Niannian moved a chair and sat down not far from Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong hesitated for a moment, but still extended his hand.
Gu Zhendong was actually a little scared, afraid that the hope he had just ignited would dissipate after Su Niannian took his pulse.
Su Niannian took Gu Zhendong's pulse.
Everyone held their breath as they watched Su Niannian.
Even Gu Ningning, who was eating a small cake, stopped eating.
Su Niannian felt Gu Zhendong's pulse and realized it was more serious than she had imagined.
"Gu Nan, I want to see my brother's legs," Su Niannian said, turning to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded, squatted down next to Gu Zhendong's legs, and rolled up Gu Zhendong's two trouser legs.
Because he hadn't moved for a year, Gu Zhendong's calf muscles had atrophied quite severely.
In addition, the previous bone misalignment and fracture did not recover well, making the bones in both legs appear somewhat deformed.
The kind of deformation that is visible to the naked eye.
It wasn't that we didn't want to treat Gu Zhendong at that time, but some of his bones were so badly damaged that they couldn't be set.
Su Niannian knew that if these two legs were to be fully healed, they would need to be broken again...
The pain of having a leg broken and then broken again is indescribable.
Especially around Gu Zhendong's leg bone, there were still many bone fragments left inside.
Experiencing that leg-breaking pain again will definitely be much more painful than the first time.
It must be extremely painful, but if it's not broken again, even the magic spring water can't make the crooked bone grow back to normal.
Su Niannian was thinking about how to treat Gu Zhendong so that he could fully recover.
When Gu's mother, Gu Nan, Gu Ningning, and Gu Zhendong saw the expression on Su Niannian's face, they immediately felt that things might be turning bad.
