Chapter 41 Inquire
She carefully got out of the carriage with the prescription in hand, and said to Fei Nanxing, who was waiting outside the carriage, "Long wait."

Then the two of them braved the wind and snow and returned to the old gentleman's yard. After arriving in the yard, Zhou Ran took out the prescription, tore it in half under the exclamations of several people, handed the upper part to Fei Nanxing, and said: "Young master, please take the prescription to your respected master for a look."

Fei Nanxing nodded and went in with the prescription.

After a while, an old man in his fifties with messy hair rushed out of the room. He looked at Zhou Ran and the others and asked, "Where is the remaining half of the prescription?"

Seeing the old man like this, Zhou Ran knew that the prescription was not ordinary. After sighing in her heart at the reliability of the system, she said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, old man. As long as the old man can help us look at the injury, there is still half of it left." I will naturally give the prescription to the old gentleman."

The old man looked Zhou Ran up and down, walked up to Zhou Ran, reached out and pinched Zhou Ran's wrist a few times, causing Zhou Ran to almost scream in pain.

The old man took back his hand and said with a look of disgust: "It's just a twist. It's not a serious injury. It will be fine in more than a month."

Shopkeeper Peng looked depressed after hearing what the old man said. If Zhou Ran could not participate in the embroidery competition, their Linglong Embroidery Workshop would definitely lose.

Zhou Ran was relieved when she heard this, but she didn't want to give up this embroidery competition just like that, so she asked the old man again with a hint of hope, "Can you help my hand heal as soon as possible?"

The old man didn't raise his brows, turned around and walked into the house, saying: "Come in."

Zhou Ran and others hurriedly followed.

After entering the house, the old man took a look at the wound on Fang Xiu Niang's forehead, took a small porcelain bottle from the shelf nearby and threw it to her, saying: "Find a place to clean the wound and apply medicine."

"Thank you, old man." Fang Xiu Niang thanked him quickly.

The old man waved his hand and drove everyone out, including Fei Nanxing. Then he took out a set of silver needles from the cabinet on the side and said to Zhou Ran: "Sit down, roll up your sleeves and stretch out your arms."

Zhou Ran rolled up her sleeves obediently, stretched out her arms, and watched the old man pierce the silver needles into his wrists one by one.

After the acupuncture was completed, the old man gave Zhou Ran a pair of topical ointment and a bottle of home-made bone bruise pills, and said: "Okay, the acupuncture will be supplemented by external application and oral administration. Your wrist will be back to its original state after three days of keeping it. Can you give me the remaining half of the prescription now?"

Zhou Ran thanked him, took out the remaining half of the prescription and handed it to the old man.

After taking it, the old man waved Zhou Ran away.

As soon as Zhou Ran left the house, Shopkeeper Peng rushed to greet her and asked Zhou Ran with concern: "Ms. Zhou, how are you? Did the old gentleman tell you how long it will take for your hands to heal so that you can participate in the embroidery competition in time?"

"If there are no accidents, we should be able to make it in time." Zhou Ran always felt that this old man was not just an idle person. Seeing how sure he said it, it didn't sound like he was talking nonsense.

"It's really God's blessing." This news meant that Shopkeeper Peng would not hesitate to survive a desperate situation.

Village Chief Li's house was not far away. A few people left the old man's house and walked a hundred or so steps eastward to the entrance of the village chief's house.

Although the village chief's house is the most spacious in the village, it is only relatively speaking. It is definitely impossible for the six of them to have a room each.

Village Chief Li's family has vacated a total of two houses, one for Zhou Ran and Fang Xiuniang, and one for the rest of the family.

Zhou Ran and Fang Xiuniang lived in the village chief's daughter's room. As soon as they took their things into the room and put them down, the village chief's daughter and his daughter-in-law came in with two basins of hot water. "You two distinguished guests, please freshen up first. The meal will be ready in a moment."

"Okay, thank you." After Zhou Ran thanked her, she declined the help from the village chief's daughter-in-law. She washed her hands briefly, applied ointment to her wrist, and took another pill.

Fang Xiu Niang also washed her face and applied medicine to her forehead.

Not long after the two of them finished cleaning up, the female family members of the village chief's family brought in the food. Stewed chicken soup, stir-fried bacon, and cabbage stewed with tofu. There were three dishes in total. The portions were large and the taste was good.

Zhou Ran and Fang Xiu Niang were frightened and injured today, and they were already tired. They went to bed early after dinner.

The next day, when Zhou Ran opened her eyes, it was already bright outside, and there was no one around her. Fang Xiu Niang was nowhere to be seen. She stood up and was about to get dressed. Only then did she realize that her right wrist didn't hurt much anymore. She looked down and said, The swelling has also improved a lot.

Zhou Ran looked delighted. Although the old gentleman had a bad temper and no kindness as a doctor, his medical skills were really good.

I just don’t know if this old gentleman is only good at trauma, or if he is good at other things as well. I can ask the village chief’s family later. If the old gentleman’s medical skills are really good, maybe she can try to ask the old gentleman to give Ye Ximing some medical advice. Go check it out.

Just as Zhou Ran was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. After Zhou Ran called out, the village chief's daughter-in-law came in with hot water to wash Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran smiled sheepishly at the village chief's daughter-in-law and said, "I've caused trouble for you."

The village chief's daughter-in-law said with a smile on her face: "No trouble, no trouble. If your distinguished guest needs anything else, just let me know."

Shopkeeper Peng was generous and gave enough money. The village chief and his family were happy to serve Zhou Ran and the others.

"Okay." Zhou Ran responded. After washing up with the hot water sent by the village chief's daughter-in-law, she walked out of the room and realized that the sky was bright outside not because it was late, but because it was reflected in the snow.

It snowed heavily all night last night, and the snow on the ground was more than a foot thick.

Shopkeeper Peng, who was standing under the eaves, saw Zhou Ran coming out and greeted Zhou Ran with a smile, "Mrs. Zhou is up? Is the injury on your hand better?"

"Well, thank you for your concern, Shopkeeper Peng. It's much better." Zhou Ran responded, looking at the snow outside the courtyard, and said, "Such a thick snow won't melt in two or three days, right?"

After hearing Zhou Ran's words, Shopkeeper Peng completely relaxed and said with a smile: "Yes, we have to stay here for another two or three days, but this is good, it just allows you to take good care of yourself. Heal the wound on your hand.”

Anyway, it's only more than two days away from Fucheng. Even if they walk a little slower, it will only take three days. As long as Zhou Ran's hands are healed, they will definitely be able to participate in this embroidery competition.

The two talked for a while, and the village chief's breakfast was ready, so he asked them to go have breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhou Ran found the village chief and asked him about the old man.

The village chief sat by the brazier and flicked the charcoal in the basin while talking to Zhou Ran: "The old gentleman came to our village with his young apprentice more than nine years ago. After he came, he lived in the village. For a long time we We didn’t even know that the old gentleman knew how to heal. One time, a child in our village became seriously ill and almost died. He saw him and saved him, so we knew he knew how to heal.”
