The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 25 A Good Life
Wu Mianfeng's leg was broken by Huang Yaoshi, and he was driven out of Peach Blossom Island without any treatment.

The medicine that Taoist Mo prepared was mainly for promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, but he did not treat the patient properly. Fortunately, Wu Chengyu had some medical knowledge and tied up the broken leg with a wooden stick.

For a month, Wu Chengyu went out to beg for food on crutches, walking around in severe pain every day. Then he had a fierce battle with the scum of the Beggar Gang, and his left leg, which had just recovered, was severely injured again. After that, he ignored the injury and caused so many troubles.

Now Wu Chengyu knew without even touching it that the broken bones had grown crooked, and if this continued he would surely become a cripple.

Now with the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, there is hope for recovery, but the prerequisite is to re-break the wound and align the bones.

This process cannot be omitted, but not everyone can do it.

The action must be precise and the force must be just right to ensure that the bones are broken at the connection point without causing other greater injuries.

At present, the only person in Gushan County who can do this and who Wu Chengyu trusts is Hong Qigong. In any case, Wu Chengyu is absolutely not at ease letting Lu Youjiao come. His name is Youjiao, so it seems that he has no sense of restraint.

The next day after Hong Qigong dealt with the scum in the Gushan branch, he went straight to Qingyu Temple and only returned today. Wu Chengyu successfully refined the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, and the timing was just right.

"What on earth do you want to do? Do you really not want this leg anymore? If you don't handle it properly, it might have to be amputated."

"To be honest, Boss Hong, I've always had a prescription specifically for treating bone injuries. I didn't have the necessary conditions before, so I finally prepared it today. However, my bones have grown crooked, so they must be realigned before this medicine can work."

"Really? I believe you can handle the pain of another broken leg, but what if this medicine doesn't work as you claim? What will you do?"

"Seriously, I will never regret my choices. Even if I lose this leg in the future, I will never be useless."

Wu Chengyu is of course confident in the Black Jade Fracture Ointment. After all, his father with the golden finger has already made an appraisal.

"Boss, wait a minute, I haven't, ah... Hong Qigong, your uncle."

Wu Chengyu had already prepared ointment, a wooden ruler and cloth bandages for leg binding, and even a towel to bite in his mouth. Unfortunately, Hong Qigong was an absolute man of action. As soon as Wu Chengyu finished speaking, he attacked. Before Wu Chengyu could get the things he had prepared, his leg was broken.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More than a month later, Hongyun Restaurant in Fangshi, Gushan County, has been doing very good business during the lunch hour.

The restaurant is always full, and the tables even have to be turned over twice. The owner's face has turned completely red. Hongyun Restaurant has become the best in Gushan.

In front of the counter in the northeast corner of the restaurant, Ah Ku was wearing a pink dress, with a red dot between her eyebrows, rouge on her face, and two small buns on her head. She was like a little calf, singing a little tune in a baby voice.

"Peach leaves are pointed, willow leaves cover the sky. Grandpa Ming, who is in your position, please listen carefully to what I have to say..."

Wu Chengyu sat aside, got a small drum from somewhere, smiled slightly, and tapped the drum lightly with the drumstick in his hand to keep the beat for A Ku.

Now Aku is no longer the skinny little beggar. She even has some baby fat on her face and big eyes. She has been eating so much every day for the past month that her belly is round and plump. For Aku, this is like honey and oil. The little girl has also grown taller and is full of energy. The only pity is that her hair is still a little yellow.

The Black Jade Intermittent Ointment was truly effective. After just one month of application, Wu Chengyu was already able to walk, using crutches to take a few steps. As long as he didn't exert himself, he felt almost no pain. Wu Chengyu estimated that in another month, he would be fully recovered. He hadn't been idle for the past month. Although he couldn't walk, requiring Wei to send a cook to help with the cooking, or for Ah Ku to go to the street to buy her favorite meat buns, he taught Ah Ku how to read and sing whenever he had the time. For Wu Chengyu, these were the most comfortable days since his time travel.

Hong Qigong left quietly the day after he broke Wu Chengyu's leg. I don't know if it was because Wu Chengyu called him "uncle", but he left without saying a word.

However, for him, the small Gushan branch took up too much time. The affairs of the Beggar Gang were complicated, and he didn't know when they would meet again.

Lu Youjiao officially took over the Gushan branch. Due to Wu Chengyu's intrusion, his growth trajectory has been greatly different from the original. It is not known whether he can become the later Nine-Pocket Elder or even the leader of the Beggars' Sect. However, Wu Chengyu thinks this is very good. For Lu Youjiao, if he can be a helmsman, he should never be a gang leader.

After lying motionless in bed for a month, Wu Chengyu could no longer bear it, so he ran to Hongyun Restaurant on crutches and started telling stories again, and A Ku also started singing for money.

It's a pity that the original plan to perform crosstalk with A Ku fell through. A Ku really didn't know what the supporting role was or what rhythm was. She was stupid on the stage and only knew the phrase "go to hell". Wu Chengyu really couldn't teach her, so every day A Ku sang the little song first and Wu Chengyu told the story.

After the hero was determined that day, Wu Chengyu's status had changed. No one dared to treat him as a child anymore, and the restaurant owner would bow to him first when he saw him.

"In the previous chapter, we heard that Lü Bu shot the halberd at the gate to resolve the dispute between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu. He shot the small halberd from a distance of 150 steps, and everyone present was terrified.

This Lü Fengxian is indeed the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms. He is eight feet tall, with a waist of eight feet as well. He rides Diao Chan, and is known as the Red Hare Rouge Horse... "

Anyway, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms changes in Wu Chengyu's mouth in many ways. Sometimes it is serious, and sometimes it is nonsense. It is so free and easy. Every time Wu Chengyu sees the audience confused by what he says, he can laugh all day long.

Originally it was just to supplement the family income, but after Manager Wei took care of all the living needs for him and A Ku, Wu Chengyu didn't take it seriously. The Beggars' Gang was a great help to Manager Wei's business, and Wu Chengyu felt that he could afford it, so telling stories every day became Wu Chengyu's best pastime.

But the restaurant's business did improve a lot because of Wu Chengyu. Coming to Hongyun Restaurant to drink and listen to stories at noon became a major event in Gushan City. This could be regarded as repaying the favor of the restaurant owner. After all, the owner did help him in the beginning. Even if he insisted on paying the venue fee, it was just for the sake of psychological balance.

But for Wu Chengyu, the most important thing this month, apart from A Ku's increasingly happy smile, was the great help the bamboo slips provided him.

Take storytelling as an example. It turned out that he just copied some things he saw on the show, but actually knew nothing about it. He tried to practice a few times while lying on the bed. Then Zhujian came up with a new guide to storytelling. It explained clearly to Wu Chengyu what was Kailianer, what was Baiqiemie, how to give praises, and how to form sentences.

Wu Chengyu even knows where to pause, where to emphasize, where to add actions, and where to ask the audience for money. That's why Hongyun Restaurant's business is so good now.

If you don’t have some basic skills and real skills when it comes to storytelling and crosstalk, you won’t be able to retain the audience.

But Wu Chengyu's greatest gain was practicing the Bi Bo Heart Method under the guidance of the bamboo slips, and he even broke through the Bi Bo Heart Method.
