Chapter 35 Grandfather, Are You in Pain?
Chapter 35 Grandfather, Are You in Pain?
"My master is a man with a weird temper and is very unpleasant. I have eight senior brothers, but now they have all run away. He only goes back once in a while. It's just me, who is still young and has to be under his control." Speaking of Mo Yan, Li Mulan really missed him. She wondered what this old fox was doing now and whether he was thinking of how to plot against her again.
Several people looked at Li Mulan. Although she was muttering bad things about the other party, her eyes were full of nostalgia. It seemed that she had a very good relationship with her master.
"However," she looked at everyone, "I cannot tell you his identity yet because he has such a bad temper. If I don't get his permission, I will definitely be punished."
"Being punished? He also punished you?" Li Yi was a little nervous. Lan'er was such a little girl, his master wouldn't really punish her, right?
Li Mulan curled her lips helplessly, "Yes, I am often punished."
“Then...what is the punishment?” Will I be beaten?
"He punished me by making me copy books, memorize books, and clean the library. Anyway, I'm used to it. I've copied almost all the books in the library over the years. I guess he won't have anything to punish me with in the future, hehehe."
Mo Yan: Haha, no punishment? I underestimated you. I have asked your senior brother to collect a few hundred more books. They should be enough for a while.
Li Xi couldn't help but said, "Hahaha, sister, do you often make mistakes and get punished often?"
Li Cong and others also had smiles on their faces. This kind of punishment seemed quite good.
Li Mulan's expression was a little stiff. She often made mistakes, that was... for sure.
After she recovered, she followed Huo Yuanruo and had fun for a year or two, from Longyan Mountain to Divine Doctor Valley, and then from Divine Doctor Valley to Longyan Mountain. At that time, she thought that her master was good and would not nag her. Who knew that it was not that he did not care about her, but that he did not have the time to deal with her... When he really had time, her Li Mulan's real good days began, and that was really... too miserable, wuwuwuwuwuwuwu...
Li Yi also noticed his daughter's embarrassment and immediately changed the subject, "Well, you must ask your master next time you see him. He is our great benefactor. He not only saved your life, but also taught you so well."
After chatting for a while, Li Mulan proposed to check Li Cong's legs. Li Yi and others were willing to do so, but the old man himself seemed to be uninterested. He knew that Li Mulan must have learned some skills over the years, but his legs... had almost no feeling in the past six months. Medical skills were no different from other things. She was so young, and even if she was talented, she couldn't be very good. But he couldn't persuade everyone, so he had to compromise and agree.
"Then Lan'er, please take a look. However, this is an old illness of Grandfather. It doesn't matter if it can't be cured. Lan'er, don't worry about it."
Li Mulan didn't say anything, and asked her father to help her take away Li Cong's quilt and other things, and pull his trouser legs above his knees.
Li Cong looked a little unnatural, it was the first time he exposed his legs in front of so many people. In the past, Li Xun took care of him more, so Li Yi and Li Xi were shocked when they saw his legs.
"Dad, why are your legs in this state? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Yi's eyes suddenly turned red. Looking at his father's terribly swollen legs and deformed knees, which had all turned purple and red, this must be... how painful it must be.
"Grandfather, does it... hurt?" Li Xi's voice was choked with sobs.
Only Li Xun was sitting quietly, holding a few thick clothes to cushion Li Cong's back. He was the one who took care of Li Cong on weekdays, and never let other brothers intervene, so he knew Li Cong's condition better than anyone else. He had spent a lot of time and effort to find a doctor for Li Cong. Unfortunately, the doctors who came had limited abilities and could not treat him.
In the end, it was Li Cong himself who said that ordinary doctors would be useless in his case and that he should not bother with it anymore. So, his legs have been dragging like this until now.
Li Mulan looked serious and gently pressed Li Cong's leg with her small hand, "Grandfather, your legs are numb now, right?"
Li Cong was stunned. He didn't expect that his little granddaughter was so capable and could actually see it.
Everyone else in the room, including Li Xun, was shocked. He was unconscious, how could...
"Dad, why do you..." Li Xun had a bitter expression as he even hid it from me. How could he not know why? What's the point of telling him? It would only add to his troubles.
Li Mulan said a few words to Li Xun, and he pursed his lips and went out. When he came back, he was holding Li Mulan's small medicine box in his hand, but it was wrapped in two old clothes, so it was not that eye-catching.
Li Mulan opened the medicine box and took out the silver needles. She pressed Li Cong's legs seriously and inserted the needles, occasionally asking, "Grandfather, do you feel anything?"
Li Cong shook his head. He was also anxious at the moment. He was also hoping that his leg would heal and that he could return to Kyoto safely one day.
When Li Mulan's hand touched Li Xun's knee, she frowned and said, "The bone is dislocated."
"Dislocation? No, Dad broke his leg, but your uncle asked... a doctor to treat him."
Li Mulan didn't care who Li Xun had asked for help at that time or why the injury was not healed. She checked it carefully before withdrawing her hand.
She pulled out the silver needles one by one, and everyone held their breath and waited.
Li Mulan sat down beside Li Cong's bed. "Grandfather, your knee must have been hit by a heavy object, causing the bone to shift. The doctor at the time did not reconnect it properly, so you gradually lost strength in your leg. It hurts excruciatingly when you exert force. Also, the location of your injury is very tricky, and it happened to press on several blood vessels. Over time, it has become what it is now."
“Can... it be cured?” Li Cong's voice trembled a little.
Li Mulan raised her chin and said, "Grandfather, you underestimate me."
Li Xun and the others all had tears in their eyes.
"Lan'er, can it really be cured?" Li Yi pulled his daughter's arm, his hands trembling.
"Grandfather, Dad, Second Uncle, I said I can cure it, and I can definitely cure it." In order to reassure everyone, she continued, "You have to know that I learned my medical skills from Lao Feng in the Divine Doctor Valley... cough, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Lan'er is not stupid, okay? Although her medical skills are not as good as those of her brothers in the Divine Doctor Valley who have studied for many years, compared with the doctors outside, she is still very strong." Besides, she has a second senior brother who can revive the dead, known as the Divine Doctor Xuanming. She often goes to help the second senior brother and has learned a lot.
When they heard that Li Mulan's medical skills came from the Valley of Divine Doctors, they immediately felt relieved.
Li Cong was excited at first, but soon calmed down. "I didn't expect that Lan'er would end up in such a situation. God is really watching over me."
"Grandfather's leg can be cured. Will he be able to walk soon?" Li Xi was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he immediately grimaced in pain when he pulled the wound.
Li Mulan said unhappily, "You'd better calm down. Doesn't it hurt?"
