Chapter 222 How to raise it
It was nearly noon when they opened the door, and Wen Luozhi went outside to stretch her muscles.
"How is it, little sister? Your second brother..."
Yang Guilan rushed up to her and craned her neck to look inside, but Wen Luozhi didn't say anything, so she didn't dare to go in.
The others watched her nervously, but none of them crossed the line.
Wen Luozhi gently patted Yang Guilan's hand. "Everything is going well. Everyone, go inside and take a look."
Only after she gave the order did the others dare to go in. Inside, Jun Qianzi and Yun Hua were still preparing the plaster, while Wen Zizhong lay on the bed with his eyes open, looking dazed.
Yang Guilan walked over and waved her hand in front of him. When he didn't react, she leaned closer and called out, "Husband?"
She was very careful, as if she was afraid of frightening the man on the bed.
Wen Zizhong snapped out of his daze and smiled slightly at her, "I'm fine."
Strangely enough, he didn't feel the excruciating pain and even fell asleep. When he woke up, his leg was already in a splint.
Aside from the current soreness and swelling without any pain, Dr. Jun's medical skills are truly remarkable.
"Second brother, your leg might start to hurt in a little while."
Wen Luozhi saw that he was frowning and relaxing his brows, and he was probably wondering why his leg didn't hurt. She knew that he would suffer when the medicine wore off.
Several people stood happily by his bedside. Xie He waited until Jun Qianzi finished his work before daring to ask, "Doctor Jun, my son's leg..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. As long as you follow my method to recover, it's only a matter of time before you stand up again."
"Thank you so much, Doctor Jun!" Xie He cried tears of joy, gripping Wen Luozhi's hand tighter and tighter.
Seeing Yang Guilan step back from the bedside, Jun Qianzi stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "May I ask how you usually take care of Brother Wen's health, sister-in-law? Could you please tell me?"
Yang Guilan was a little confused by his question. How else could she take care of him? Just let him eat and drink as usual! It's just that the food and drink should be a little better.
"Sigh! How else can we raise them? Just feed them when they're hungry and give them water when they're thirsty!"
Jun Qianzi was somewhat embarrassed, while Wen Luozhi laughed out loud, "I devised the recipe; I'll give it to Doctor Jun for reference later."
That diet, if followed long-term, can strengthen the body and is also helpful in treating illnesses.
Earlier, out of concern, Li Chunxing and Xie He, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, simply cooked to distract themselves, and now it was time to eat.
After giving some more instructions, Jun Qianzi and his apprentice boarded the carriage. To thank them, the carriage was packed full, and even the horses were covered with things.
Jun Qianzi had a headache; if Gu Yunqi were here, he wouldn't have to worry.
Now it's just him and Yunhua in the clinic, who knows when they'll be able to eat there again.
The carriage slowly drove out of the village, and Wen Muchuan also arrived at the school to help.
When he arrived, everyone who was busy stopped and crowded around him with concern, asking, "How is it, Second Brother? Is Zizhong's leg healed yet?"
"We wanted to go check on them, but we're afraid of causing trouble. Is the child alright?"
......
A group of people surrounded him and asked questions. Wen Muchuan smiled and answered them one by one, "Thank you all for your concern. Zizhong is fine! With proper care, he will be able to stand up again!"
Everyone cheered, and the village chief patted him on the shoulder, "We still have an old hen at home. I'll have Afu bring it over for Zizhong to nourish his body."
Wen Muchuan waved his hand to refuse, but the village chief had already told Afu to go back and catch the hens.
"It's food for the child, not for you! Why are you refusing?"
The village chief glared at Wen Muchuan, who had no choice but to thank him, thinking he would send something else as compensation later.
Wen Zizhong was so bored lying in the house that he asked Wen Zijin to move him to the soft bed in the courtyard.
With the fragrance of flowers in the air and his son humming a lullaby beside him, Wen Zizhong felt that he had no regrets in this life.
It was still early, so Wen Luozhi came out to urge them to hurry back to the academy. "Fifth Brother, you should go back to the academy now. Everything's alright at home."
With so many people at home, and the most important things already done, it's not his place as a scholar to worry about anything. He might as well go back to the academy and attend another class.
Wen Zijin nodded. With the provincial examination just around the corner, they really needed to hurry.
Although he had asked Master Su for a day off, now that his second brother was alright, it was good for him to go back.
With only a few women left in the house, Yang Guilan watched Wen Luozhi in the yard before going into her room to read the large stack of letters.
Even she, who is usually thick-skinned, couldn't help but blush when she opened the first letter.
"My wife is still young; I offer you words of comfort and tenderness."
She read it aloud in a low voice, then burst out laughing and collapsed onto the table.
Wife? Helian Yue is too naive; they're only dating.
If this happened in that era, her first reaction to anyone saying that would definitely be, "Pah! What a jerk!"
She continued reading, her eyes filled with subtle longing. After reading it twice, she picked up another letter.
Then she talked about the situation in the Southern Wilderness, and the detailed description of the situation there in her previous post gave her a headache.
It's infuriating that she doesn't know how those people got here; seeing this makes her even more eager to go over.
Thinking of Helian Zhiyan, who was still on her way, she couldn't help but worry whether she had prepared too little for her. After all, even with money, one couldn't necessarily buy good things there.
It will take another four or five days before the two groups can meet, and the child will have to endure another four or five days, maybe even a few more.
Fortunately, she had prepared plenty of compressed biscuits, so at worst she could fill her stomach and comfort herself on the road.
Just as she expected, Helian Zhiyan was munching on a compressed biscuit with a bitter expression, while Xia Yunshu kindly handed her some water.
"Miss, I already have other food, why would I eat this?"
Her little face looked miserable as she held up the remaining half of the compressed biscuit.
Xia Yunshu sighed softly. She had already asked Feng Qian, and the place the little guy wanted to go was still quite far, although theirs wasn't close either...
In that small town, they spent the last bit of money they had, which they had squeezed from the wooden stake. He wouldn't have taken it out if he hadn't promised to pay them back five times when they returned to the manor.
I spent a banknote but didn't see anything in return!
The little guy wasn't willing to spend any money on those things, and he didn't even look at the food.
Indeed, compared to the exotic and delicious food she had brought out these past few days, she herself looked down on the local delicacies in the town.
Xia Yunsheng raised her hand and gently stroked her head. "There are few people on this road, let alone places to buy food. I'm afraid you'll eat it all in one go and then there won't be any left."
She's almost fully recovered now and is eating the same things as her younger sister and the others. She eats two meals a day, each consisting of a steamed bun or a flatbread with water.
The little guy even wanted to share his food, but she couldn't accept any of it. They were just strangers who had met by chance, and they already owed him too much.
Besides, the other party is just a child.
