Although Jialin only woke up briefly, it made all the Wuman people happy.
The elders didn't care to cause trouble to Shen Tianshu any more, and they all ran to the ghost master's house and knelt down to praise him.
They felt that the reason why Jia Lin was able to wake up must be that the ghost master's prayers moved the gods.
Li Zian said displeased: "Obviously it was Lady Tong who saved the man, but instead of thanking Lady Tong, they thanked the ghost master.
"If the ghost master's prayers were really useful, wouldn't the person have recovered a long time ago? Why did it get so serious that he had to go everywhere to seek medical advice?
"Now, fortunately, the doctors have worked, but all the credit has been given to the gods."
Qi Fei was quite embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he was the one who persuaded the ghost master to go down the mountain to find the doctor.
On the contrary, Shen Tianshu understood quite well and said: "The customs of various places are the same as the Wuman people. What should you do if you are angry about this?"
"You're just too talkative!" Li Zian frowned.
"When Divine Doctor Jiang was searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains, he was rescued by the Wuman people. Although they live in isolation and are superstitious about witchcraft, they are still relatively easy to get along with as long as they do not insult their gods and ghost masters.
"We're just here to treat people, there's no need to be picky."
Qi Fei hurriedly said: "Thank you, Madam Tong, for your understanding."
In this way, after three days of using up the medicine, although Jia Lin's legs were still purple and black and swollen, the pus was gone, and the previous putrid smell had also been reduced a lot.
Shen Tianshu added a few flavors to the decoction, and simply changed the prescription for the external medicine.
The topical medicine this time is very simple. After mashing the licorice and Adenophora into fine powder, add honey, mix well, and apply it on the wound.
Licorice is not only very effective for those with long-term ulcers that do not heal, but is also effective for nameless swelling of the extremities as well as redness, swelling, heat and pain.
It’s just that when applying the medicine, you must put some insect repellent pills next to it, otherwise in a place like Juzhou, honey may attract many insects and ants.
After changing the dressing, the condition of Jialin's wound was visibly improving day by day.
Ten days later, most of the swelling had subsided. Jia Lin was awake for longer and longer every day. Not only was he able to communicate with others, but he was also able to sit up and eat on his own.
When Shen Tianshu saw that his condition had improved and stabilized, he decided to re-correct the position of his broken bone.
Jialin and Qi Fei have learned Da Qi Mandarin. Although they are not as good as Qi Fei in Wuman dialect, they still have no problem with basic daily communication.
It was precisely because of his sobriety that the attitudes of several Wuman elders finally changed and they no longer troubled Qi Fei and Shen Tianshu every day.
"Jialin, the swelling in your right leg has basically gone away now. I have to re-set your bones now." Shen Tianshu explained to him, "When you were injured, the thigh bone was broken into three sections and it was never reset correctly. , the doctor from Juzhou City even distorted the position of the broken bone in the middle.
"Previously, because your leg was so swollen and filled with pus and blood, there was no way to restore it manually, so we could only clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain.
"Although the swelling has not completely subsided yet, we can't wait any longer. Otherwise, once the bone grows back, it will be difficult to reset it. If not done properly, we will be walking lamely."
"That's not possible!" Qi Fei on the side was even more nervous than Jia Lin himself, "Ms. Tong, you are so powerful, you can definitely restore Jia Lin's legs to their original shape."
Jia Lin smiled and patted Qi Fei's hand, signaling him not to be anxious, and then said to Shen Tianshu very slowly: "Ms. Tong specifically explained it to me in such detail, I guess there must be more to say later?"
"The positions of your three bones are now deviated. Because the delay is too long, they will inevitably form adhesions with the surroundings, or they have slowly begun to grow together with the surroundings. Therefore, it will definitely be very difficult to reset the bones now. pain.
"I can use acupuncture to help you relieve some of the pain, but most of it still needs to be carried on by yourself."
Jia Lin nodded when he heard this and said: "Mrs. Tong, just don't worry, as long as my leg can be cured, I can endure anything."
"You still have to be mentally prepared. It's really not an ordinary pain."
"Okay." Jia Lin nodded, "Then when do we start?"
Shen Tianshu took out a pill, handed it to Jia Lin, and asked him to hold it under his tongue.
"We'll start as soon as the pill dissolves."
Shen Tianshu used acupuncture to seal several acupuncture points on the upper and lower thighs, and then handed Jia Lin a wooden stick.
"Bite this, let's get started."
Li Zian finally came in handy this time. After Shen Tianshu found the correct position by pressing, he asked him to straighten the crooked bone, and then he used his own techniques to reset it.
As Shen Tianshu said, this pain is really not something that ordinary people can bear.
Jialin held Qi Fei's hand tightly, biting the wooden stick tightly in his mouth, his teeth were bleeding. The blood flowed out along the wooden stick uncontrollably, and he roared like a trapped animal in his throat.
The muscles all over Jialin's body were tense, his veins were bulging, and his mouth was full of blood, making him look particularly ferocious.
Qi Fei's hand had long been held until he lost consciousness, but he didn't complain and kept using a cloth to wipe the blood from his mouth.
Li Zian straightened all three bones into their approximate positions as instructed. Shen Tianshu took the prepared splint and laid it under Jialin's thigh, and began to reset the details.
Although Shen Tianshu looks like a weak woman, her fingers are really strong.
Especially her actions were different from Li Zian's just now.
Li Zian only adjusted the general position, while Shen Tianshu was dealing with the details at this time, and needed to constantly press around the broken bone to adjust the position.
If the reduction is not done properly, even if the bone can heal later, disability will remain.
So every move she made obviously made Jia Lin even more miserable. The veins on her neck were bulging, and her whole body was drenched in sweat, making her as wet as if she had just been fished out of the water.
Just when Shen Tianshu finally successfully reset both fractures and splinted them to prepare for bandaging, Jia Lin suddenly heard a sound of phlegm in his throat, and then he fainted.
Qi Fei felt that the hand that had been squeezing him tightly suddenly loosened, and watched as it slipped from his palm. He shouted anxiously: "Jia Lin!"
However, Shen Tianshu was not distracted at all. He tied up the splint three times and then wiped his sweat and said: "Don't worry, he just fainted from the pain. I gave him the Baoxin Pill in advance, so it's nothing serious. "
However, several elders who came after hearing the news suddenly broke down the door and entered.
The great elder entered the room and waved his hand, and a group of Wuman people rushed in and headed straight for Shen Tianshu and others.
