Lu Erbai couldn’t help but look at Sanya. No matter how much self-control the little girl had, she was still young and had never eaten good food before. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the meat and sweets.
Then, he immediately said, “Sanya, we have things to discuss. Go out and play and see if your elder brother is back.”
“Alright,” The little girl nodded obediently. After taking a few steps, she turned back and took one more glance at Shu Yu before running away.
Shu Yu noticed a problem. Lu Erbai did not seem to have told his family about the reason behind his leg injury. Otherwise, with the old lady’s personality, she would not have treated her so calmly.
He didn’t say it, but Shu Yu felt increasingly upset when she thought about it.
She couldn’t help but look at his left leg and ask, “How’s your leg? I heard you guys talking just now, and it seems like you fell again. Have you seen a doctor?”
Lu Erbai hurriedly said, “The doctor in the village is not around, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.”
Although he said that, his expression was telling a different story.
In fact, he seemed to be enduring pain ever since he had been in the courtyard.
Naturally, Shu Yu could tell. So she asked, “Why don’t I take a look at it, Uncle Lu?”
Before Lu Erbai could say anything, the old lady had already asked in surprise, “Miss Shu, do you know medicine? ”
To be honest, she knew more about the field of nursing. In her previous life, the reason why the big boss retired was that there was a problem with his body. As his trusted secretary, Shu Yu needed to understand and learn about such matters even if she was not a professional in case of emergency.
However, when the old lady saw Shu Yu’s calm expression, she inexplicably felt that the latter had great skills. She quickly stood up and made way, “Then, I’ll have to trouble Miss Shu to take a look at my second son. His leg was broken due to being hit by a stone a year ago. It had been fixed at that time, but it was not fully healed before it was damaged again. You’ve seen our family’s situation. We could only ask the village doctor to help reconnect the bones, but it has been so long and the condition hasn’t recovered at all.”
On the other hand, Lu Erbai’s face flushed red in embarrassment. He shrank back and said, “Mother, this isn’t appropriate. Miss Shu is a lady from a big family. How can she look at the legs of a rough man like me?”
Shu Yu had already squatted, “Uncle Lu, you saved my life. I’m just taking a look. It’s no big deal. Besides, I’m not some rich young lady. You can just treat me as a female doctor now.”
Back then, the Shu family had the Daoist temple keep Shu Yu’s identity a secret as if they were afraid that Lu Erbai would leech on the Shu family by relying on the fact that he had saved Shu Yu’s life. Hence, Lu Erbai did not know who she was.
Lu Erbai still wanted to refuse, but Shu Yu was already holding his leg.
With that, he didn’t dare to move anymore. Shu Yu felt his broken leg a little and couldn’t help but frown, “Your bone has been dislocated. It’s not even connected properly.”
“Ah? What should we do then?” The old lady asked.
“Break it and reconnect it.”
The eyes of all three from the Lu family widened as they gasped, “Break, break, break it?”
Shu Yu raised his head and looked at Lu Erbai with a serious expression, “If you don’t reconnect it properly, the condition will only get worse in the future. Especially since you fell today, there’s fluid build-up in your leg. If you don’t get treatment soon, the blood vessels will likely be blocked, and your leg will be crippled then.”
The three members of the Lu family were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
“How could it be so serious? Doctor Yan from our village said it’s just a bruise and he’ll be fine after applying a few more patches of ointment.”
