Ji Yinghuai noticed that there was something wrong with his breath, so he stood up and lit the oil lamp next to him.

Without caring about anything else, Ji Yinghuai sat down on the edge of the bed, gently pulled the quilt aside a little, revealing Jiang Shian's arm.

At this point, differences between men and shyness are no longer a consideration.

Jiang Shian gasped in pain, and a layer of mist formed in his eye sockets.

The arm was facing the oil lamp, and the originally fair and slender arm was now swollen. It was especially obvious when compared with the right arm.

"Why is it so serious?"

Jiang Shian took a breath. It was just a casual fall. He couldn't even move. If it was a dislocation, it would be okay. But if it was a fracture, it would be troublesome and he would have to rest for at least a month.

Unfortunately, his expectations were dashed.

Ji Yinghuai had seen this kind of injury before in the military camp. He took a cushion from the side and asked Jiang Shian to put his arm on it as a pillow. "I think it should be a fracture. Don't move. I'll go get Doctor Wang."

Jiang Shian nodded with a bitter face.

Ji Yinghuai quickly got up and walked out of the house.

It was already getting dark, and apart from the blue smoke coming out of the chimneys on the roofs, there were not many people on the road.

At this time, I guess everyone is eating at home.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Doctor Wang's house, Doctor Wang and his family were sitting at the table having dinner.

Doctor Wang was a little surprised to see him coming, and he quickly stood up and greeted him, "Why are you here, little brother Ji? Come on, come on, sit down and have dinner. Is Shi An at home? Why are you here?"

Ji Yinghuai didn't bother to greet him and immediately told him about Jiang Shian's injury: "Thank you, Doctor Wang, but you don't need to come for dinner. Shian was injured at home. Please go over to see him."

When Doctor Wang heard this, he responded, hurried back to the house, picked up the medicine box and went outside with him.

When they returned to Jiang Shian's bedroom, Jiang Shian was sitting on the bed, sweating coldly from the pain.

The bathtub was still in the middle of the room, and Ji Yinghuai took the water in the wooden basin out and poured it out.

Doctor Wang put the medicine box aside, walked forward and carefully examined his arm, then pulled Jiang Shian's hand and moved it a few times.

"Hmm..." Jiang Shian couldn't help but groan.

Doctor He sighed, turned around and got something from the medicine box, and said, "How could you be so careless and hurt yourself so badly? This is a fracture. I thought it would be less painful if it was a dislocation."

He held a jar in his hand, and there was a bamboo stick next to the jar, which contained a black and sticky substance. He scooped up some and rubbed it on Jiang Shi'an's swollen arm: "This is the best medicine for treating fractures. It can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain. I will prescribe another medicine for you later. I happen to have the required herbs at home. You can ask Xiao Ji to follow me to get them."

Jiang Shian looked down at the black stuff on his arm. The smell was a bit pungent. He suppressed the urge to sneeze and quickly turned to look at the door.

Just then, Ji Yinghuai came in carrying a wooden basin. The man took the handkerchief hanging on the wooden rack and soaked it. He looked at them and asked Doctor Wang, "How is it? Is the injury serious?"

Doctor Wang repeated what he had said to Jiang Shian, and at the end he warned: "Don't even think about doing anything else in the next half month. You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise your bones will grow crooked and you'll become disabled. You have to rest well."

"Okay, I know." Ji Yinghuai responded, took the wooden basin and walked to the bed, then gently wiped the sweat from Jiang Shian's forehead with a wet towel.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked softly, his face full of worry and heartache.

It looks like the injury is quite serious; the swelling is almost as thick as the calf.

Even though his bones were broken, he, a man, couldn't remain calm, let alone that Jiang Shian was a boy with a sensitive body.

Jiang Shian looked up at Ji Yinghuai and forced a comforting smile on his face: "It will be much better after taking the medicine, don't worry."

A layer of cloth was wrapped on top of the ointment. Doctor Wang also used a bamboo stick to fix Jiang Shi'an's arm in place for fear that moving around would affect bone growth.

Ji Yinghuai stood aside and watched with an expressionless face.

"Okay, you just need to be more careful these days. I'll come to change the medicine in two days. I have the medicine at home. Just follow me and I'll prepare a dose for him tonight. Otherwise, he will be in so much pain that he won't be able to sleep at night." Doctor Wang looked at Ji Yinghuai and said.

"Okay, thank you." Ji Yinghuai thanked him and took out a copper coin from his pocket to pay.

Doctor Wang waved his hand and picked up the medicine box beside him. "I dug these herbs from the mountain. They are not precious and will not cost much. No need to pay for them."

The tooth powder had earned him a lot of money, enough to support his family for the past two years. Now he and Jiang Shian were developing something for facial application, so these herbs were nothing to him.

Ji Yinghuai was not a very talkative person. He looked at Jiang Shian, who smiled and nodded at him. He then understood what the young man meant and took back his purse.

Doctor Wang put on his medicine box and said, "It's done. Let's go."

Ji Yinghuai did not follow immediately: "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he walked towards the yard. Doctor Wang probably thought he was going to get something, so he stood there waiting.

After Ji Yinghuai returned to his room, he picked up the quilt from the bed, then returned to Jiang Shian's bedroom. He folded the quilt and put it behind Jiang Shian. He pressed it with his hand and said, "It will be more comfortable if you lean on it. Try it first to see if it is comfortable. If not, I will adjust it."

Jiang Shian nodded, and with the hand that had not fallen, he gently supported his injured arm and slowly leaned back. When he touched the soft quilt, he exhaled and smiled at Ji Yinghuai, "Yeah, it's comfortable."

Ji Yinghuai pulled the quilt for him again, settled Jiang Shi'an down, and then followed Doctor Wang out of the yard.

Although Doctor Wang is old, he is curious as everyone else. As he walked out of the yard, he looked back from time to time at the handsome young man lying on the bed under the candlelight.

He looked at the two men and felt that they didn't look like brothers, but more like lovers.
