With Lu Tao's repeated assurances, the old lady finally put down the stick in her hand and turned around and returned to the house.
"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really can't help you!" Lu Tao said.
Lin Hai said: "Brother Lu, are you worried that we will deceive you? If so, we can give you the advance payment first, without you spending a penny yourself!"
"No, no, that's not the reason." Lu Tao scratched his head, gritted his teeth for the last time, and said, "My mother is not worried that I will be deceived by you, but... she is worried about the people of Xinglong Company."
"Have people from Xinglong Company given you any trouble?"
Lu Tao sighed, "Not only did they cause trouble for me, they also made my leg lame. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to save my life. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive now. In order to treat my leg, I spent all my family's savings.
I spent all my money and my wife left. My mother was worried that I would offend Xinglong Company again, so she refused to let me touch grass thistles again."
"Xinglong Company dares to beat people to death blatantly? Isn't this illegal?" Xiao Ru said.
"There is no way, they have backers in the city, so no one in Wenqu County dares to mess with Xinglong Company. Except for Xinglong Company, no one dares to come out to buy grass thistle. If anyone dares to touch grass thistle, they will fight
Who. A few years ago, there was a person who was buying grass thistles like me, but he suddenly disappeared and has not been found until now."
"Was this person killed by Xinglong Company?" Lin Hai asked.
"Nine times out of ten!" Lu Tao said with an angry look on his face, "That person's name is Zhang Hui, we all call him Lao Zhang, he is a very good person, he disappeared on his way home after collecting thistles, he disappeared.
The place is only two miles away from their village, and there are no wild animals or cliffs nearby."
"Don't the police care?" Xiao Ru asked.
"The police came, but nothing was found. Lao Zhang just magically disappeared."
"These people are so brave!" Xiaoru said angrily.
Lin Hai asked: "Who is Sun Erhu's backer, his brother?"
"I heard that Sun Dahu is a brother-in-law with the leaders in the city. Even the police chief is his brother's friend. Who in our county dares to control Sun Erhu?"
Lu Tao smiled self-deprecatingly, "I don't dare to offend them anyway. If I do it again, I won't be able to save my remaining leg."
Lin Hai asked again: "What is the price for Xinglong Company to acquire Grass Thistle?"
When Lu Tao mentioned this, his face showed anger, "It's very low! In other places, a pound of thistle can be sold for more than five yuan. As a result, Sun Erhu took advantage of no one to compete with him and lowered the price of grass thistle to one yuan a pound.
Farmers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, but had no choice but to sell to him in the end. Some people were really angry and secretly transported them outside to sell them. However, they could not be discovered by people from Xinglong Company, otherwise they would definitely be beaten.
Indispensable."
At this moment, a motorcycle stopped in front of Lu Tao's house.
Lu Tao stood up and said, "My father and my son are back."
Lin Hai turned around and found to his surprise that what got off the motorcycle was the grandfather and grandson he and Xiao Ru met halfway.
They also recognized Lin Hai and Xiaoru, with equally surprised expressions on their faces.
When Lu Tao learned that his father and son fell down on the road and it was Lin Hai and Xiao Ru who saved them, he immediately bowed to Lin Hai and Xiao Ru.
Lin Hai quickly helped him up and said, "Don't be so polite. We just happened to meet him. If someone else had met him, they would definitely not have spared him."
"You are good people, I could tell that when I first met you!" Lu Tao said.
Later, when Lu Tao's mother found out about this, she also wanted to bow to Lin Hai and Xiao Ru. After being stopped, she said a lot of words in the local dialect.
Lu Tao relayed: "My mother said thank you very much and wants to treat you to a potluck dinner at home!"
"How embarrassing!" Lin Hai said quickly.
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Don't be polite. If it weren't for you, my father and my son would have been lying on the road all night, and they might have been picked up by wild animals at night, so this meal must not be missed! But in our mountains
There’s nothing good here, it’s just home-cooked food, I hope you don’t dislike it!”
Seeing that their family was so polite, Lin Hai could only agree.
"Can you let me see your legs?" Lin Hai pointed at Lu Tao's legs and said.
"This..." Lu Tao hesitated.
"Don't worry, Lin Hai's medical skills are very good and I promise he won't cure you!" Xiaoru said.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. My dad also said just now that Mr. Lin's medical skills are very good, so I'm not worried that Mr. Lin will help me heal my leg. Besides, my leg is already broken. No matter how bad it gets,
It can’t be any worse!” Lu Tao said mockingly.
"I've seen many doctors, and they all said that my leg is completely broken and cannot be cured. Mr. Lin, I really don't need to trouble you!"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "It's okay. I have nothing to do anyway. I'll check it for you."
Then, he asked Lu Tao to put his lame leg on a chair, and then began to check him carefully.
"Have you ever broken the hamstring in this leg?" Lin Hai quickly discovered the problem.
"Yes, those bastards cut it off!" Lu Tao said angrily, "If I hadn't closed the leg in time, the whole leg might not have been saved!"
With the level of modern medical technology, a broken hamstring is not an incurable disease, but for rural people, a broken hamstring means that the leg is basically useless, so Lu Tao became disabled.
After finding the crux of the problem, Lin Hai asked Xiaoru to take out the silver needle from his bag, disinfect it carefully first, and then said with the silver needle, "I'll give you a few acupuncture needles to see the effect."
Lu Tao didn't take it seriously at first, but when the silver needle pricked his leg, Lu Tao immediately felt as if a stream of hot air was continuously entering his leg.
Especially the injured area became very warm, as if a heater was baking it, and it was not that hot, making it very comfortable.
Lin Hai used silver needles to continuously transfer the true energy into Lu Tao's legs. After more than ten minutes, he waved his hand and all the silver needles immediately flew out of Lu Tao's legs and landed in Lin Hai's palm.
After putting down the silver needle, Lin Hai continued to massage the injured area on Lu Tao's leg repeatedly, and it took more than half an hour to stop.
At this time, Lin Hai was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and Xiao Ru, who kept wiping his sweat, had also used up two packs of tissues.
"Come on, let's try taking two steps."
Lin Hai helped Lu Tao stand up and said with a smile.
Lu Tao looked at Lin Hai and took a step forward doubtfully.
In an instant, the expression on his face suddenly became dull.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly took the second step, the third step...
In the end, he simply threw away the crutches, but he still walked steadily and showed no signs of limp.
"My legs are healed!"
Lu Tao suddenly shouted, with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Beside him, Lu Tao's parents and son were as excited as he was.
