“Where does it hurt?” After she asked, her eyes fell on the young boy"s legs. His legs looked abnormal.
“My legs hurt, I can"t move." The young boy"s voice was hoa.r.s.e. Obviously, he cried and screamed out loud. Now, he can barely make a sound.
Bai Zhi immediately pulled the young boy"s trousers to check his injuries. As expected, his calf was swelling and fractured.
After careful examination, she muttered to herself: “Fortunately, it is a transverse fracture, no surgery is required. After aligning, the splint bones will be fixed. There will be no further problem."
Bai Zhi then said to the young boy: "I will help you bandage it, it will hurt a bit, but you have to bear it."
The young boy said with a low voice: "I can"t move my left arm, is it disabled?"
Bai Zhi took a glanced at his arm and smiled. “It"s just dislocated, it"s not a big deal. I will fix it for you." As soon as she finished, she held the young boy"s left arm and twisted it. After a *crackling* sound, the young boy hasn"t had time to react, but he could feel his left hand move.
Bai Zhi doesn"t have splint with her. She could only find some suitable branches to use as a splint. Once they returned to the village, she will take him to Doctor Lu. Doctor Lu has many splints.
With the help of the branch and the young boy"s belt, Bai Zhi successfully put a splint on the young boy"s calf. However, when they were about to leave, she saw five to six people rushing towards them.
After seeing the young boy on Bai Zhi"s back, a woman took a step forward: "Dongzi, my son, what happened to you?"
Dongzi was lying on Bai Zhi"s back. When he saw his parents coming over, his body shrunk back. His eyes were filled with fear.
“Father, mother—”
The woman reached out and tried to lift Dongzi from Bai Zhi"s back. But Bai Zhi busily said: "You have to be careful. He has a broken calf and a dislocated arm. I just fixed it for him, he shouldn"t move too much, so that it won"t get dislocated again."
The woman carefully lifted Dongzi from Bai Zhi"s back. And then she screamed at Bai Zhi with a fierce look in the eyes: "How can your heart be so poisonous? Just for a few red fruits, you will go this far? How are you going to pay for my son’s injuries?"
Bai Zhi was stupefied, what was going on? When did she hurt her son? She saw the child was pitiful, so she lent a helping hand, how did it become her fault?
Bai Zhi said to the woman: "Why don"t you ask your son who hurt him?"
The woman coldly snorted and said: "What else is there to ask? You"re the only one here. Who else could have hurt him?"
Bai Zhi frowned: "If you will not ask, how will you know if it was me?"
Beside the woman, a man was standing. He was the famous lazy man in the village, Jia Dazhuang. He opened his mouth and screamed at Bai Zhi: "You hurt my son, everyone has seen it, you can"t fool us."
Bai Zhi swept her eyes to several men and women, who came with Jia Dazhuang and asked: "Who among had seen I hurt his son?"
Several men and women hesitated for a while, but then didn"t say anything. However, one woman still dared to open her mouth: "Although I didn"t see it with my own eyes, you are the only one here."
Bai Zhi"s eyes rolled. She doesn"t want to speak with these people anymore. She turned around and face Dongzi, then asked: "Why don"t you tell your parents and these uncles and aunts how did you get hurt?"
The young boy lowered his head. He looked very scared. He didn’t dare to open his mouth.
Jia Dazhuang yelled at the young boy: “Are you dumb? Why don"t you speak? Tell me!"
