Quick Wear: After Saving the Cannon Fodder, I Became a God

Chapter 293: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 21

"Apart from the fact that you're a little weak, I don't see anything wrong with your pulse?" Old Li had a puzzled look on his face.

"But my stomach hurts so much that I can't even walk!"

"Maybe I am not knowledgeable enough to diagnose you, but there is nothing wrong with your pulse. Maybe the pain will go away after a while. So, I will prescribe a medicine for constipation. Why don't you go back and try it?"

"This... okay." Zhao Mei didn't understand either, but since Lao Li said so, she could only do as he said.

"The wound on your knee looks serious, but actually your tendons and bones are not injured. Go back and use a cotton cloth dipped in clean water to gently wipe off the blood stains, and then try not to touch water. It will heal naturally after a while. If you are worried, I will prescribe you a herbal remedy?"

When Gu Ming heard that it could heal itself, he spoke before Zhao Mei, "How long will it take to heal without medication? Will it delay work?"

"You'll get better faster with medication. If you don't, it depends on your physical condition, which I can't predict. A leg injury will naturally affect your work. It's best for Zhao to rest for two days."

"I can't not be able to work!" When Gu Ming heard that it would affect his work, he refused to do it.

He may not be able to work with this leg, and Zhier is gone now. There are only three able-bodied people in the family, and now they all fall ill. How can this be?

"Then let's prescribe some medicine for her." Gu Ming said reluctantly.

Looking at the prices on the list, Gu Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Gu Yong hasn't received the two hundred coins yet, and now he has spent dozens of coins on medical treatment. What a spendthrift woman!

"Okay." Old Li wrote out the prescription, handed it to the apprentice, and said to Gu Ming, "Come, let me see your ankle. Which foot is it?"

"This one..." Gu Ming lifted his foot onto the stool. At this time, his ankle was already swollen.

Seeing this situation, Lao Li frowned slightly.

"Old Li, what's wrong? It's not serious, is it?"

While massaging Gu Ming's ankle, Lao Li asked, "How did it become like this?"

"When I helped her over, I accidentally twisted her and she fell." Gu Ming said through gritted teeth, a look of pain on his face.

Old Li nodded. "It's just a sprain, no fractures, but it's a serious injury. You can't use force on this foot in the near future, you must rest for a few days. I'll prescribe some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine for you, apply it on time every day."

After saying that, Lao Li wrote another prescription.

Gu Ming took the prescription and looked at the price, groaning in his heart.

This is another big expense!

But he also knew that if he didn't get proper treatment, the injury would become more serious.

After paying the money and getting the medicine, Gu Ming and Zhao Mei supported each other and went home.

Along the way, Gu Ming kept complaining about Zhao Mei, saying that she shouldn't waste money seeing a doctor.

Zhao Mei felt extremely aggrieved, but she did not dare to refute.

Although Fuwa brought a golden bead to their family when he was born, they all thought it was a gift from God, so they did not exchange it for money at all. Instead, they hid it as a family heirloom, preparing to pass it down from generation to generation.

So, in fact, their family's lives did not improve with the arrival of the golden beads.

A lot of money was even spent to take good care of Gu Xi.

Because Zhao Yue'er would always whisper in their ears that the Fuwa must be raised well in order to bring blessings to the family.

So much so that other families might only smell a little meat once a week or a month, but Gu Xi could eat meat almost every day.

Of course, she was the only one in the family who had this treatment. After all, meat was very precious to them.

At this moment, Zhao Mei suddenly thought of something.

"Old man!"

Gu Ming was startled by Zhao Mei's sudden voice, "Why are you making so much noise?"

"Old man, listen to me, this is really mysterious. I just said the name of the disaster star, and my stomach suddenly hurt. What do you think is the reason?"

"Are you saying that we are like this because of Gu Qian?" Gu Ming didn't believe it at all. He felt that Zhao Mei was just trying to shirk responsibility by dragging Gu Qian into this.

"It must be! That Gu Qian is a disaster!"

"Oh, do you still want to push the responsibility onto her and ask Gu Yong for money?"

"Of course we can't have it! It's because they gave birth to that disaster that we are so unlucky!"

"I... Ouch!" Gu Ming's irritability and impatience surged like a tide, and he was about to burst into curse.

At this moment, a sharp pain came over him, and he lost his balance and fell forward.

There was a dull thud as his mouth hit a hard rock, blood splattered everywhere and two teeth were knocked out.

Not only that, his hands were also covered in blood due to the intense friction with the ground, which was a shocking sight.

"Ah! Old man, you...what should I do?" Zhao Mei looked at Gu Ming, who fell to the ground with blood all over his face, in horror. Her hands trembled involuntarily and she didn't know what to do.

Their noise quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers.

Not long after, they returned to Lao Li's doorstep again.

"Old Li, please take a look...ah!"

Zhao Mei limped and stumbled into the house anxiously, completely forgetting that she needed to bend down to pass through the low door beam of Old Li's house.

Then, the tragedy happened - her forehead hit the door beam hard, making a dull sound.

The violent collision made her eyes go black, and her injured leg was in severe pain. She could no longer hold on. Her body went limp, and she fell backwards, falling to the ground in a miserable state.

Fortunately, the ground was flat and there were no stones, otherwise the fall would have been much more serious.

"Oh my God, Sister Zhao, are you okay?" Old Li's wife was shocked and hurried over to support Zhao Mei.

Looking at the obvious deep purple-red color on her forehead that seemed to have a hint of blood, Old Li's wife felt the same way.

How painful it must be! Will this Zhao sister ask them to pay for it?

"I..." Zhao Mei's mind was in a mess. She had no idea where she was or what she was doing.

"Help me quickly!" When Old Li's wife saw the situation, she knew something was wrong, and quickly asked someone to help Zhao Mei to the inner room to lie down and rest.

Everyone worked together to carry Zhao Mei into the inner room and let her lie flat on the kang.

Old Li carefully checked Zhao Mei's injuries and found that except for the superficial bruise on her forehead, she was fine. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, please go out and let her have a good rest." Lao Li said to everyone.

The villagers left the room one after another, leaving only Lao Li and his wife.

"This Miss Zhao is really something. How could she be so careless?" Old Li's wife complained softly.

"Alas, she is too anxious. I don't know if the Gu family ran into anything when they went out today, and they got hurt again and again."

"Hey, could it be..." Old Li's wife suddenly lowered her voice and said to Old Li with a wink.
