My village can't be like this

Chapter 315
When Zhang An came back from Zhang Xinmin's house, it was completely dark.

After the New Year, the time of darkness will gradually be postponed.

Even though it was already dark, their family hadn't had dinner yet today.

Not only Zhang An's family, but almost everyone in the village didn't eat.

Because today is the Little New Year, every household has to worship the Stove God Bodhisattva, and they have to wait until dark before they can start worshiping the Stove.

Therefore, everyone will eat dinner after serving the Kitchen God.

The customs in the south are different from those in the north, and Zhang An and other places in the southwest mountains are also different.

When offering sacrifices to the stove, change into new clothes and prepare a table of dishes for the stove god to make a good sacrifice.

Those who are particular about it will even kill a rooster to honor the Kitchen God.

As for other customs, a lot of them are saved in Hongyan Town.

Maybe families who are more particular about it, or families from ethnic minorities, may do more.

Here at Zhang An's house, it is considered complete after the sacrifice.

Anyway, with Zhang An at home, there are never any leftovers.

Moreover, Wang Fang has cooked such a table of delicious dishes, and the Kitchen God must have been very comfortable eating, and he will not talk nonsense when he goes to heaven.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang An and Su Ying had gone back to their rooms to rest. In the past few days since the power outage, they had developed the habit of going to bed early.

Wang Fang was the only one left downstairs still mixing coal. She was going to go to bed after covering the stove with wet coal balls.

He seemed to hear someone shouting at the door, and Wang Fang walked out to see who was coming.

"Auntie, are brothers Zhang An at home right now?"

The person at the door was a woman in her 30s from the village named Wu Fengqin.

"I'm at home. I just went back to my room to go to bed. Oops, what happened to Cangming?"

While Wang Fang was talking to Wu Fengqin, she walked over and opened the door for them.

Although I was about to go to bed, if someone came to my door, I had to let someone come inside to talk.

After opening the courtyard door, they discovered that Wu Fengqin had come here on the back of her husband, Wang Cangming.

Wang Cangming looked a little pale now, and there were some beads of sweat on his forehead.

I saw him holding his left hand in his right hand, and the teeth in his mouth were clenched.

"Come in quickly, why is it like this?"

Wang Fang opened the courtyard door and let them go inside first.

"When I came out to relieve myself just now, my foot slipped and fell on the ledge, and my hand fell off."

Wu Fengqin supported Wang Cangming and explained to Wang Fang.

"My mother said Brother Zhang An can cure bone injuries, so we came over to ask him for help."

The story that Zhang An removed the hand bones of Li Laifu and then reattached them all at once has long been spread throughout the village.

So when the old lady of Wang Cangming's family saw that her son's hand was falling off, she asked her son and his wife to come over to see Zhang An.

But Wang Cangming and Wu Fengqin have been working outside and only came back during the Chinese New Year.

I just heard from the elderly at home that Zhang An can set bones. Neither of them believed it because Zhang An was too young.

But there’s nothing you can do if you don’t believe it, because it’s late at night and it’s inconvenient to go anywhere.

Whether you go to the hospital or find someone to see you, you have to wait until dawn.

But seeing Wang Cangming in such pain, he broke out in sweat.

So they could only come over to Zhang An and give it a try. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a human being to wait until dawn.

"You guys sit down first, I'll go upstairs and wake him up."

In the master bedroom, Zhang An turned off the lights and was about to go to bed when he heard Wang Fang knocking on the door.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiao An, your brother Cang Ming has taken his hands off. Get up and help him look at it."

"Okay, I'll come down right now."

Hearing his old mother's voice, Zhang An got up, got dressed and got out of bed.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go down and see what's going on."

Su Ying wanted to get up and take a look together, but Zhang An didn't let her get up.

The temperature outside is not high now, so it’s easy to catch a cold when you get up.

"Brother Zhang An, he is really in pain. Please help me take a look."

Seeing Zhang An, Wu Fengqin stood up and said anxiously.

"I'm from a village. If you don't talk about this, sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll take a look at Brother Cangming's hands first."

Zhang An sat in front of Wang Cangming and wanted to see the condition of his hand.

But because of the winter, he wore thicker clothes and needed to take them off.

"Sister-in-law, help Brother Cangming take off his cotton-padded clothes, otherwise I won't be able to see."

After Zhang An closed the door, he explained to Wu Fengqin.

"Brother Cangming, when you take off your clothes, you may get a little bit of it and it will hurt a little."

"It's okay, brother Zhang An, I can handle it."

Sure enough, when Wu Fengqin was taking off his clothes, even though she was very careful, she still touched the injured area.

Wang Cangming gritted his teeth and took off his clothes.

Zhang An slightly lifted up his shirt, and his entire arm was exposed.

At this time, Zhang An discovered that Wang Cangming's right elbow had indeed fallen off.

The protrusion on the back of his elbow indicates that the elbow joint is obviously displaced and the elbow has protruded backward.

After touching it gently for a while, Zhang An got the idea.

Zhang An pinched his forearm with one hand and Wang Cangming's upper arm with the other hand.

While rubbing the area that had become swollen due to poor blood circulation due to dislocation, he talked to Wang Cangming and his wife.

"What are brother Cangming and sister-in-law doing outside? Their hands are still white."

"We entered a towel factory, but we suffered the disadvantage of not having any culture, so we could only help others look at the machines."

"That's okay. Every day's work should be very relaxing."

"Leisure is leisure, it is work...ah...low wages."

When Wang Cangming wasn't paying attention, Zhang An suddenly exerted force and restored his dislocated arm to its original position.

After all, the joint was dislocated, and it would definitely be excruciatingly painful to restore it.

Wang Cangming's sudden scream scared Wu Fengqin next to him to stand up, thinking that Zhang An had been cured.

"Okay, Brother Cangming, your elbow joint has been displaced. I have reset it for you. Please feel if it still hurts as much as before."

After hearing what Zhang An said, Wang Cangming, who was in pain, realized that his crutch, which had been jutting backwards just now, had returned to its round shape.

"I still feel a bit like crawling ants, but it's not as painful as before."

"Hey, let me let you feel it. Don't move it casually, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital to get a plaster cast."

Seeing Wang Cangming trying to reach out and move around, Zhang An quickly stopped him.

"The displacement of your joint is not serious. After I help you reset it, you can recover by hanging it for a while."

"But during this period, you can't move around, you can't hold heavy objects, or you can't do anything, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital." After all, the bones have been displaced so much, and the blood vessels, meridians, etc. inside have been injured. A period of recovery is definitely needed. .

As soon as Zhang An said this, Wang Cangming, who originally wanted to make a move, immediately did not dare to move.

If you go to the hospital, it will cost you tens, hundreds or even more.

"Thank you, brother Zhang An. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have hurt him to death tonight."

Seeing Wang Cangming's recovered hand, Zhang An said what should be paid attention to.

The couple felt relieved and thanked Zhang An gratefully.

"It's also because you came in time. If it took a long time, it might be difficult to treat even if you go to the hospital."

Joint displacement is not scary, especially if the displacement is not serious like his.

But if you keep putting it off until the blood flow inside is blocked for a long time, it will be troublesome.

As soon as they heard Zhang An's words, the couple felt scared. At the same time, they were very happy to listen to the old lady's words and come over to see Zhang An first.

If we put it off until tomorrow as we thought before, it would be bad.

Later, Zhang An found a piece of cloth at home and hung up Wang Cangming's hand.

Fortunately, the displacement was not serious, otherwise a splint or a plaster would have been necessary.

"I won't prescribe the prescription for you. When you go home, you can find some Panax notoginseng, chop it up and swallow it. If you can't swallow it."

"Just take it once a day for three days."

Zhang An originally wanted them to find Shijiang, which is Drynaria.

But now in the winter, this stuff is hard to find, so I might as well use Panax notoginseng instead.

Panax notoginseng can remove blood stasis and activate blood circulation, which can help speed up the recovery of injured areas.

Wang Cangming's arm is not serious, so he can buy medicine without a prescription.

After all, once this prescription is prescribed, it will cost money to buy the medicine, and it will make you uncomfortable to drink the medicine.

There is no need to buy panax notoginseng in the village. It is easy to find in the mountains. Many people will dig some and dry them at home.

Even if you don’t have it at home, you can get some by asking at the homes of relatives, friends, and neighbors in the village.

"Brother Zhang An, I'm really sorry to wake you up so late at night."

After Wu Fengqin helped Wang Cangming approve the clothes, she took out 20 yuan from her pocket as the medical fee.

"Sister-in-law, I don't want this to happen if it's just a matter of convenience."

They were all neighbors in the village, and Zhang An didn't think about charging for their bones.

Besides, you can charge as much as you want. If you charge too much these days, people will think you have a bad heart.

If you accept less, it is better not to accept it at all. People will still remember your favor in their hearts.

"That's not possible. Although we don't understand, we also know that it won't happen in a few moments. Brother Zhang An, please accept it quickly."

Although Wu Fengqin didn't know how much he should give to Zhang An, there was Shuida Village nearby, and there was an old man there who specialized in feeling people's bones.

Each time they charge at least 15 yuan, and they also have to buy a bunch of medicine.

She didn't see clearly when Zhang An was resetting just now, so she felt that Zhang An's technique should be better than that of the old man.

So after thinking about it, I decided to give Zhang An 20 yuan for the consultation fee.

"Sister-in-law, let's not mention the money. My godfather has treated everyone for so many years and hasn't received a penny. What will it matter if I collect money?"

If there were people he didn’t know outside, Zhang An would naturally take as many as he wanted.

But if he was a neighbor in the village, he didn't think it was necessary. After all, his family didn't rely on this to make a living.

Besides, Zhang Yixing has been practicing medicine all his life. Except for those rich people, Zhang An has never seen him collect medical fees.

After all, he had been out there for so many years, and it was impossible for him not to have a penny on him.

After hearing what Zhang An said, Wu Fengqin and his wife stopped giving Zhang An money.

Finally, when Wang Fang sent them out, she spoke to Wang Fang with great gratitude.

"What's going on with the people outside? Is it serious?"

Back in the room, Su Ying asked curiously. She didn't know many people in the village, especially those who had been away all year round.

"Wang Haihai's father in your class dropped his hand and his left elbow joint was displaced. It's not serious. He has been reset."

Wang Cangming and his wife have two children. The eldest is Wang Haihai, who is in Su Ying's class.

The younger one’s name is Wang Haiyang, and he is still in primary school.

The couple has been working outside, and the two children are at home with their grandparents.

Su Ying nodded and said she understood.

"Didn't you just learn bone setting for a few days? How can you treat people?"

Zhang An has been studying medicine with Zhang Yixing during this period, and has been reading medical books. Su Ying knows this.

But in just a few months, we can now see people. This is too fast.

"Hey, I guess it's because I'm more interested in this aspect, so I learn quickly. Isn't this just about applying what I've learned?"

"I don't think so. You are a smarter person and can learn anything quickly."

After being together for so long, Su Ying knew her man to some extent, and she quickly got the hang of it no matter what she learned.

Whether it's carpentry, bamboo weaving or studying medicine, it seems like you can master it as soon as you touch it.

"Tell me, when you were in school, were you too playful and careless, so you didn't do well in the college entrance examination?"

Su Ying found it strange that someone so smart and quick to learn everything should have good grades when studying.

Why did Zhang An do so well in the college entrance examination? The only thing she could think of was that Zhang An didn't care.

"What? I could have been more diligent at that time, but I couldn't learn anything. I can't let my parents hear what you said, or I won't get any good results."

Zhang An immediately defended himself and said that he was so talented at that time and he had indeed tried his best.

"Besides, if I went to college, I probably wouldn't meet you."

"If I can marry such a good wife like you, I don't have to go to college."

Su Ying thought about it. Fortunately, Zhang An didn't go to college, otherwise he would probably have taken advantage of others in the future.

If she hadn't met Zhang An, she would have been forced by Wu Qiuping to go on blind dates every day.

Therefore, the hand holding Zhang An's arms tightened unconsciously.

"Teacher Su, why don't you do some homework?"

Su Ying leaned in Zhang An's arms, and the hot breath she breathed not only made Zhang An feel a little itchy, but also made him angry.

If I don't do my homework to calm down my anger, it will probably be difficult to play chess with Duke Zhou again tonight.

As soon as Su Ying heard her man talking about homework, she shyly covered her head with the quilt.

Seeing this, Zhang An smiled and started to stand up and do his homework.

Early the next morning, Zhang An woke up to the big rooster's wake-up call as usual.

He quietly let go of Teacher Xiao Su, who was still sleeping in his arms, and quietly got out of bed.

After washing up, Zhang An went to the yard to practice boxing every day.

Zhang Yixing often told him that practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The only way is to persevere.

So there is nothing special. Zhang An has more than half an hour of boxing time every morning.
