As the Jackson sisters entered their house, Peter Brown was also shaken. The Jackson family could be said to have nothing good, and the bare condition of the house made one’s heartache. Although some bamboo was used to enclose the space, one could see the light from outside entering through the gaps on the sides and the roof. All this showed that it was a house with leaks everywhere.
Upon entering, there was a tattered quilt full of patches on the bed, and a disheveled woman lay on it. Due to the lighting, it was hard to see clearly from the doorway.
Looking at the cooking area, Peter saw pots and bowls that were old but extremely clean.
This family’s life is so hard!
Looking at the sisters who followed him, Peter knew that their lives must be very difficult.
At this moment, Peter thought about the rural girls who went outside to work in the entertainment venues. Now he could understand that they didn’t want to live a normal life, but they really didn’t have the ability. They had no education and no skills; what could they do in the big cities?
Clasping his fists, Peter thought that the development of the village still relied on the farmers themselves. There is no savior in this world; only through one’s own efforts can success be achieved. He must develop the village so that everyone could have a good life.
"Lana, you’re back?" The woman on the bed struggled to sit up.
"Mom, Peter is here. He said he would help treat your leg injury." Lana quickly rushed to the bedside.
"Boss Wang is here? Why don’t you pour some water for him to drink?"
Peter activated his True Qi at this moment, his eyes quickly adapted to the indoor environment, and he saw the woman sitting up clearly. She was a very thin woman who looked somewhat like the Jackson sisters.
"Peter, please help check my mom’s leg."
"Mhm, you guys get ready, I’ll drink some water first."
Peter pretended to drink some water and then walked over.
She had put on her shorts, revealing her pale, long legs.
When Peter looked, he saw the severely atrophied legs. This woman didn’t just break one leg, but both legs were broken. He didn’t know how she was treated before. If it were someone else, they would have definitely had amputations.
"Madam, what’s the situation with your legs?"
Peter really didn’t know what her condition was.
The woman sighed, "Ten years ago, I went to the county with my husband to work. I fell from a building, and when I was sent to the hospital, the doctor said I needed surgery to amputate my legs. The boss of the construction site only gave us 5,000 RMB and didn’t care about anything else. My husband thought that even if I had my legs amputated, they wouldn’t be of any use so we opted for conservative treatment. We found a bone specialist who applied herbal medicine on me, then sent me back home. I was expected to die, but I made it through..."
This time, Peter had already pressed on the woman’s legs and checked them with True Qi. He was surprised that the woman managed to survive. She must have had extremely strong nerves to endure such pain.
Peter believed what the woman said. Her condition must have been unbearable without any treatment.
Seeing Peter’s doubtful expression, the woman, being smart, smiled and said, "You might wonder how I endured the pain at the time, right?"
"Yes, I just checked, and your legs actually have comminuted fractures. Even surgery can’t restore them. The bones inside are broken into pieces, and the pain is unbearable. There’s also internal bleeding. Most people, I guess, would not survive."
Peter said straightforwardly.
The woman nodded, "My family has an ancestral medicine; I survived because of it."
Lana brought over some herbal medicine and said to Peter, "Peter, this is the ancestral medicine my mom uses every day. Take a look."
When Peter took a look, his eyes narrowed. He found that some of these herbs were actually Lingcao, a rare kind of spiritual grass.
Seeing this medicinal concoction made of Lingcao, Peter understood. This woman’s family must have had a cultivator before, otherwise, they wouldn’t have this ancestral medicine.
Peter knew that this medicine was called Bone and Muscle Soup, a decoction used for body refining techniques. Some cultivators would crush their bones while practicing a body refining technique and then use this decoction to rebuild their bones. Once the bones are reassembled, a refined body can be formed.
Looking at the woman, Peter knew that her family must have lost the body refining techniques, otherwise, her legs wouldn’t be .
With this in mind, Peter checked the woman’s legs again.
"Peter, can it be cured?" Lana asked worriedly.
Lily also said, "Peter, as long as you can cure my mom, I’ll do anything for you!"
At this time, Peter had a clear understanding. After withdrawing his hand, he looked at the blushing woman and said, "I can treat this injury, no problem!"
"Of course it’s true. Don’t worry, I can cure your injury, and you’ll be able to stand up soon!"
This time, Lana couldn’t help but burst into tears. She suddenly felt the heavy pressure on her body lifted as she threw herself into Peter’s arms and cried loudly.
