C14 Cures

The next morning, Zhang Chunxiao and Madam Wang were finally able to leave the woodshed and return to their rooms.

Mrs Zhao went back to sleep, while Zhang Laosan stayed up all night. Two people were allowed to reunite with him.

Madam Wang couldn't help but cry when she saw Zhang Laosan break his leg with a white cloth. She tightly held Zhang Laosan's black, swollen hands and said with tears in her eyes, "Third Bro, it's you who has suffered."

"It's okay, this little injury isn't a big deal," Zhang Laosan pretended to be a big deal and laughed heartily after hearing what was said. However, both sides could tell that his leg was still in pain, "It's just his leg, we still have hands, and we can still work. As long as I'm here, you two won't suffer."

Zhang Chunxiao's nose twitched. Even she was afraid that he would be powerless to reverse the situation. How could Mrs Zhao let them go? How long could he protect her? Now that Zhang Laosan was defeated, the two of them had no one to rely on anymore.

"Dad, it's all my fault. But don't worry, your daughter will bring honor to you." Zhang Chunxiao said. Her voice was choked with sobs.

Once he said that, Zhang Laosan was stunned. He held his breath, his eyes glued to Lili's body. After a long while, he finally managed to speak, "Chunxiao …" Are you Chunxiao? "

Zhang Chunxiao put on a look of understanding. She knew that if she was like this, people would definitely doubt or not believe her. She helplessly raised the corner of her mouth and said gently to Zhang Laosan, "Dad, it's me. I'm Chunxiao …"

"Chunxiao has recovered her wits. She's a normal girl now." Madam Wang finally felt a little happy and said to Zhang Laosan while smoothing her brows.

Zhang Laosan's face had a hint of excitement that came from the bottom of his heart. He tightly held his daughter's hand and mumbled for a long time with his mouth open. Finally, he said with a joyful tone: "Well, this is great, the heavens are truly enlightened. My fall made my daughter not stupid, it's worth it!"

After years of suffering and patience, as well as years of grievances, he could finally get rid of them. He no longer had to live the life of being looked down upon and being bullied by others. This result made the entire family extremely happy.

"However, Daddy." After the happiness had passed, Zhang Chunxiao's face became serious again. After all, this was only the first step, and they were still struggling on thin ice in this inhumane place, "As long as the three of us know that I have recovered my mind, you don't have to tell anyone else. Otherwise, I'm afraid that things will get even more troublesome in the future. "

"Alright, don't worry about that. I know what I can say, and what I cannot say." Zhang Laosan seemed to not understand, but in the end, he still agreed. After all, he always went along with his daughter's suggestion.

Zhang Chunxiao was worried that they would expose a flaw and tell them everything that had happened. Only then did she finally relax. However, this matter was not really troublesome. Zhang Laosan's legs were the real trouble for them.

If Zhang Laosan really could not stand up, then their three concubines in Zhang Family would not be able to speak any further. In the future, they would probably suffer even more contempt and feel even more anger. Who told them men to be basically disabled now?

There was also a prostitute who seemed like a silly girl to outsiders.

"Dad, can I see your leg?" Zhang Chunxiao pondered for a moment before asking.

"Yes, but do you have any plans?" Zhang Laosan couldn't help but be a bit suspicious, but he still lifted up a corner of the blanket to show her his leg.

From the outside, the bleeding had stopped. The main source of the blood was from the skin wounds. It was enough to properly bandage and change the medicine, so there was no need to worry too much. Mainly, if the leg was broken, then it would be a little troublesome.

Although she didn't understand what era it was, Zhang Chunxiao understood that no matter what happened, a broken bone would be difficult to deal with at this point in time. There was no way she could use her current medical skills to reconnect the broken bones.

She gently pressed Zhang Laosan's leg and carefully felt the degree of injury on the muscles and bones inside. What made her feel more at ease was that it was only an ordinary fracture, it didn't look powdery.

This way, according to modern medical techniques, it could be reconnected completely. Until now, it was just a change of medicine, but it could be cured by the same method. For example, using plaster and splint, and then applying medicine, he would definitely recover after a few months.

However, he couldn't do it openly. Otherwise, if he didn't say it out loud, he might cause Mrs Zhao and her second aunt to curse. If his plan couldn't be carried out, he would cause a lot of trouble.

"Mom, take a look at the woodshed and see if there are any wooden planks. It should be around the length of your dad's calves. Bring two over here." I'll go out for a while and find something. Zhang Chunxiao said in a serious tone. She placed a bamboo basket on her back and was about to leave the room.

"Wait, Chunxiao, where are you going?" Madam Wang got up quickly and asked anxiously.

"I might have a way to get dad to stand up again. I'll go out and find something, then I'll go into the mountains to look for some herbs." Zhang Chunxiao turned around and said to Madam Wang.

Madam Wang was a little surprised, but thinking that her daughter was indeed different from before, she chose to believe in her daughter. However, she wasn't at ease when she went out alone. Madam Wang turned around, intending to leave, "Then mother will go with you. If there's anything you need help with, please help out."

"It's okay, Mom. You should take good care of Dad at home. If Grandma finds out, then we won't be able to handle it," Zhang Chunxiao pushed Madam Wang back to the bed and pushed her back to her original position. She assured her, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to return safely."

Seeing her insistence, Madam Wang showed an expression that didn't allow her to worry anymore, so she could only stop insisting. However, she still held onto Zhang Chunxiao's hand for a long time, giving instructions. Zhang Chunxiao vaguely agreed before she hurried out of the house.

She was used to going out alone, but no one had ever nagged her to be safe. Every time she had lived on the edge of a blade, she had been on the line between life and death. Why was she making people worry like this just by going into the mountains to gather herbs?

This is absurd.

Zhang Chunxiao walked out of the house and started looking around for what she wanted. Gypsum may be hard to find now, but lime should be available in every village, though I don't know where.

Carrying a bamboo basket, she looked around the field, searching for a pond of lime. There were many farmers working in the fields, and when they saw her, they all began to whisper and point at her.

Even with her eyes closed, they could tell what they were talking about. Zhang Chunxiao would occasionally listen for a moment or two, then pretend she hadn't heard anything and pass it off as a joke.
