Chapter 315 Bone Setting
When Zhang An came back from Zhang Xinmin’s house, it was completely dark.
After the New Year, the dark time will gradually be postponed.
Although it is already dark, their family has not had dinner yet today.
It wasn’t just Zhang An’s family, 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 God.
So 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 for the stove god and prepare a table of dishes to make a good sacrifice.
Fashionable people will kill a rooster to worship the Kitchen God.
As for other customs, a lot of them are saved in Hongyan Town.
Maybe families who are more particular about it, and 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.
And Wang Fang has cooked such a table of delicious dishes. The Kitchen God must be eating very comfortably, 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 of power outage, they had developed the habit of going to bed early.
Only Wang Fang is still mixing coal downstairs. She is going to go to bed after covering the stove with wet coal balls.
I seemed to hear someone shouting at the door. Wang Fang walked out to see who was coming.
"Auntie, is Brother Zhang An home at the moment?"
The person at the door is a woman in her thirties who is 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 Cang Ming?"
Wang Fang walked over to open the door for them while talking to Wu Fengqin.
Although I am ready to go to bed, if someone comes to the door, I have to let someone come inside to talk.
After opening the courtyard door, I discovered that Wu Fengqin had helped her husband Wang Cangming over.
Wang Cangming's face was 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 first, how can it be like this."
Wang Fang opened the courtyard door and let them go into the house first.
"When I came out to relieve myself just now, I slipped my foot and fell on the ledge, and my hand fell off."
Wu Fengqin explained to Wang Fang while supporting Wang Cangming.
"My mother said that brother Zhang An can cure bone injuries, so we came here to ask him for help."
Before, Zhang An removed the hand bones of Li Laifu's and then reattached them all at once. What happened 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.
If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing you can do about 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 had no choice but to come 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 off his hand. Get up and help him look at it."
"Okay, I'll be down soon."
Hearing his old mother's voice, Zhang An got up, got dressed and got out of bed.
"You are asleep first, I'll go down and see what's going on."
Su Ying wanted to get up and have a look together, but Zhang An didn't let her get up.
The temperature outside is not high now, so it is 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. Let's not talk about this. Sister-in-law, please sit down first. I'll take a look at Brother Cang Ming's hand first."
Zhang An sat in front of Wang Cangming, wanting 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 Cang Ming 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 Cang Ming, when you take off your clothes, you may get caught a little bit and it will hurt a little."
"It's okay, brother Zhang An, I can bear it."
Sure enough, when Wu Fengqin was taking off his clothes, even though she was very careful, she still touched the injured area.
While Wang Cangming gritted his teeth, he took off his clothes.
Zhang An scratched his shirt upwards a little, and his whole 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 has been displaced and the elbow has protruded backward.
After touching it gently for a while, Zhang An got the idea.
Zhang An held his forearm with one hand and Wang Cangming's upper arm with the other hand.
While rubbing the swollen area caused by poor blood circulation due to dislocation, I 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 were uneducated. It's a shame, I can only help others."
"It's okay, the work should be very leisurely."
"It's leisure. . . . ”
While Wang Cangming was not paying attention, Zhang An used his strength to put his dislocated arm back into place.
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 Cang Ming, your elbow joint has been displaced. I have reset it for you. Please feel if it still hurts as much as before."
Hearing from Zhang An With that said, Wang Cangming, who had been through the pain, discovered that his crutch, which had been protruding just now, had returned to its round shape.
“There is still a bit of feeling, just like ants crawling, not as painful as before.”
“Hey, let me let you feel it, you can’t move around casually. Otherwise, you will have to go to the hospital to get a plaster cast."
Seeing Wang Cangming trying to reach out, 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 cannot move around or lift heavy objects. , Nothing will work, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital. "After all, the bones have been displaced so much, and the blood vessels and meridians inside have been injured, so 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 again What should be paid attention to.
The couple felt relieved and thanked Zhang An gratefully.
"It's also because you arrived in time. If it had been delayed for a long time, it might have been difficult to treat him in the hospital."
Joint displacement is not terrible, especially if it is not serious like his. symptom.
But if you keep putting it off, it will be troublesome until the blood supply inside is blocked for a long time.
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 I would have had to wear a splint or a plaster cast.
"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."
"Eat it once a day. Three days will be enough.”
Zhang An originally wanted them to find Shi Jiang, which is Drynn.
But it’s hard to find this stuff in the winter now, so I might as well use Panax notoginseng instead.
Panax 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 also 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 up 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 for making trouble for you so late at night.”
After Wu Fengqin helped Wang Cangming sort out his clothes, he took out 20 yuan from his pocket. Yuan is used as the medical fee.
“Sister-in-law, this is not the case for such an easy thing.”
They were all neighbors in the village, and they were just setting bones, and Zhang An didn’t think of taking any money.
Besides, you can charge as much money as you want. If you charge too much these days, people will think you have a bad heart.
If you accept less, you might as well not 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's not a matter of time. Brother Zhang An, please accept it quickly."
Although Wu Fengqin doesn't know how much to give to Zhang An, But there is Shuida Village nearby, and there is an old man there who specializes in touching people's bones.
Every time I charge at least fifteen yuan, I 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 been treating everyone’s illnesses for so many years and he hasn’t received a penny. What would it matter if I took the 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 has been outside for so many years, and it is simply impossible to say that he does not have a penny on him.
After hearing what Zhang An said, Wu Fengqin and his wife stopped giving Zhang An money.
When Wang Fang sent them out in the end, he spoke to Wang Fang with great gratitude.
“What’s going on with 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 and has been reset.”
Wang Cangming and his wife have two children. The eldest one is called Wang Haihai, and he 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 knew it.
But in just a few months, we can now see people. This is too fast.
"Hey, I guess I'm more interested in this aspect, so I learn quickly. Isn't this just about applying what I learn."
"I don't think so. You are a smarter person and can learn anything quickly."
Su Ying knew her man to some extent after being together for so long, and she quickly picked up the skills no matter what she learned.
Whether it’s carpentry, bamboo weaving or studying medicine, it seems like you can do it all at once.
"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 felt strange, she was so smart, what should she study? People who are fast 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 was willing to work hard at that time, but there was nothing I could do if I couldn't learn. I can't let my parents hear what you said, otherwise I won't get any good results."
Zhang When An settled down, he defended himself by saying 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 have met you."
"If I can marry such a good wife like you, it doesn't matter if I don't go to college."< br>
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.
Had she not met Zhang An, she would have been forced by Wu Qiuping to go on blind dates every day.
So, 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 her angry.
If I don’t write my homework to calm down the anger, it will be difficult to play chess with Duke Zhou 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.
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.
