Su Changhe had high prestige in Su Village. These years, he led the locals in planting fruit trees, growing grains and was the first to help any families that had problems or difficulties. He always lent a hand without complaining or regrets. Even his son, the current chief of the Su Village, admired him endlessly and was very filial.
“Xiu’er, do you remember me?”
Su Changhe was a gentle person. The wrinkles on his face immediately stretched upon seeing Tang Xiu, a thick smile blossoming on his old face.
Tang Xiu laughed, “The old village chief grandpa.”
Heartily laughing, Su Changhe replied, “Mmm. Not bad, you’ve grown up into an adult. Hasn’t it been two years since you last came back? And you look taller now.”
“Indeed. I haven’t come back for nearly two years. If not for the accident I had before, perhaps I would have come back earlier,” said Tang Xiu.
Su Changhe nodded, “Even though you’re not surnamed Su, but you’re the child of our Su family village. I just heard from Little Ben that you brought your grandma back to treat her wounds yourself. Tang Xiu, treating an old person’s broken leg isn’t a minor matter. It would be fatal if your treatment isn’t good. Do you have confidence?”
Tang Xiu assertively said, “I’m confident, old village chief grandpa. I’ve been acting as an on-duty doctor at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital recently, and I can also be considered as a doctor now.”
Su Change was shocked, “You’re working at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital? That’s not right! You should only be a high schooler now… and just attend CET this year! How would…”
Tang Xiu smiled, “Old village chief grandpa, your memory is pretty good. It’s true that I really just finished my CET, and you can check my CET’s scores by dawn. As for the why I’m giving medical services at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, the hospital’s President was the one who invited me.”
At the side, Su Ben suddenly spoke, “Tang Xiu, you know someone with authority in Star City Chinese Medical Hospital? The other wounded from our village were sent to Star City. Just when I got to the old village chief grandpa’s house, Genzi called me saying that they had just arrived at Star City Chinese Medical Hospital, but…”
Tang Xiu knitted his brows, “But what?”
Su Ben forced out a smile, “They heard that a divine doctor emerged there recently, and caused a large number of patients across the province to flock to Star City Chinese Medical Hospital. There are indeed doctors on-duty now, but no wards available.”
Tang Xiu took his mobile and dialed a number.
“Hello, Master?”
Dai Xinyue’s voice came out of the phone. It seemed very chaotic there, as it was pretty noisy.
“Are you in the hospital?” asked Tang Xiu.
“Yes, Master. There are too many patients tonight, it’s quite busy. Is there something you need, Master?” said Dai Xinyue.
“I need you to check if there are five injured people surnamed Su from Qinghe County that are waiting for treatment. After you find them, arrange several wards for them.”
“Master, I… I don’t have that authority,” Dai Xinyue hesitated.
Tang Xiu smiled, “It’s alright. If you can’t, go to Sun Wenjing. And if she also can’t do it, go directly to Li Hongji. In any case, help me arrange it tonight.”
“Understood!” Dai Xinyue put down her mobile with a distressed expression.
Tang Xiu glanced at Su Ben and Su Changhe, saying, “Please don’t worry! I called someone to arrange it, so it should be done quickly. Big Brother Ben, keep contact with them for the updated situation over there. Let’s go inside now! I’ll treat grandma.”
“Let’s go inside!” Su Change waved and quickly said.
The dim light was swaying inside the dilapidated roof of the house. The rope-tied light bulb kept swinging by the wind as light and shadow repeatedly changed. Squatting at Zhang Shi’s side, Tang Xiu gently lifted her leg, saying, “Grandma, it will be slightly painful when I treat you, so please bear it for a while. I’ll be able to treat your injury soon.
Zhang Shi smiled, “Go on! I can bear it.”
Tang Xiu nodded. He took the silver needles from the box and quickly sealed the acupoints nearby the broken bone. His fingers rubbed in-between the silver needles in a constant rhythm. Soon, the purplish-red swollen area on Zhang Shi’s leg turned into purplish-black, the swollen area turning bigger.
About half a minute later, Tang Xiu’s finger slowly took one silver needle. In a split second, black blood spurted out. After all the silver needles were removed, black blood also spurted out from the areas not pierced by silver needles.
“Xiu’er… this…”
Su Lingyun’s pupils contracted, fear gushing from her eyes.
Tang Xiu serenely said, “Her bone is fractured, and the broken pieces pierced the capillaries, resulting in internal congestion. So we must clear up the congestion first.”
Su Lingyun suddenly understood, her anxiousness a bit relieved.
Tang Xiu pinched a silver needle. By the time the black blood stopped flowing, his hands held the broken bone area as he exerted strength on both of his hands, adjusting back to the bone’s positions. Controlling his Star Force, he restored the fractured bones to its previous positions. Tang Xiu also adjusted the two granule sized bone sediments into its original location accurately.
