Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

I don't know how long the old man had been receiving treatment.

Xu Manman stayed in the courtyard until the sky began to lighten and a red moon slowly rose.

The door behind him opened, and the old man walked out looking exhausted.

"The wound was stitched up very well. He's quite tolerant; he's asleep now."

Xu Manman thanked him and went back inside to glance at Fei Huainan.

The old man had been busy all night and still had to go to work; he couldn't even ask for a day off.

With some thugs watching him, he has to go out every day.

Fortunately, Zhou Lei helped out. Zhou Lei is young and was in good condition even though he hadn't slept all night.

Xu Manman thanked the old man, who waved his hand dismissively.

Those who practice medicine treat illnesses and save lives.

While Fei Huainan was asleep, Xu Manman prepared to go back to the village to borrow an oxcart.

There was no other way to bring him here, but on the way back, the road was long and uneven, and Fei Huainan's legs couldn't move. It would be troublesome if he fell.

She hurriedly returned to the village and told Aunt Lin what had happened. Aunt Lin immediately asked her son to borrow an oxcart to pick up Fei Huainan.

The two drove the oxcart back to the county. It was already afternoon, and Fei Huainan had woken up.

He had a bowl of noodles for lunch, which was made by the old man's wife.

Xu Manman and Lin Guohua helped Fei Huainan into the car.

Xu Manman took out ten yuan and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady refused, saying, "I've been with him my whole life, and he's saved countless people. Your family just had a bad accident, and that's exactly when you need money. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman did not insist further, but she still left the money on the table when she left.

Lin Guohua drove the oxcart and finally arrived home before dark.

They deliberately took a detour to avoid the villagers.

When he got home, the house had already been tidied up. Lin Huaguo put Fei Huainan on the bed and went back inside.

The room was a mess, so Xu Manman tidied it up herself.

She went to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, and saw the things she had bought earlier placed inside.

Xu Manman put the medicinal herbs in together.

If you don't have a cabinet at home, you can put a stone in the pot to keep mice away.

The old man made some of the medicinal herbs into a paste, and boiled the rest for oral administration.

The ointment should be applied continuously for a month, and the herbal decoction should also be drunk for a month.

Besides the severe leg injury, Fei Huainan also had a red and swollen area on his back, indicating some internal injuries, which required proper care.

It should take about a month to recover to about 70-80%.

Starting from the second month, you can do rehabilitation and recuperate at the same time.

It will take three months to recover.

However, in order to return to the army and participate in training, this injury will require at least six months of recovery.

As for the ointment, the quantity is only enough for ten days. After ten days, it needs to be reconstituted.

Xu Manman calculated that the ointment and herbal decoction would probably cost another thousand yuan.

The medical fees weren't enough, and there's also Aunt Lin's family; she fell off her bicycle twice, so we should at least send some gifts as compensation.

It seems she needs to find another way to make money.

Or you could try stage plays; they're quite profitable right now.

Xu Manman decided to give it a try.

After settling Fei Huainan in, she went to the kitchen to cook.

For dinner, I made stewed chicken with potatoes, then steamed buns made with a mixture of wheat and water, and rice porridge.

Xu Manman finished cooking and came out to throw away the dirty water. She saw two figures loitering at the door.

"Who goes there? What are you doing at my doorstep?"

"Young lady, you must be from Huainan! What's Huainan like?"

Xu Manman thought the voice sounded familiar, and then she remembered that it was the old lady from the cowshed.

In the dream, Fei Huainan was arrested, and the old lady didn't make it and died.

Fei Huainan was arrested a few days later this time, and the old lady seemed to have recovered from her illness based on her voice.

She knew that Fei Huainan cared a lot about these two people, so she stepped forward and opened the door.

"Huainan is inside the room; you can go in and see him."

Professor Wang and Grandma Wang exchanged a glance. They shouldn't have come, but they were too worried about Fei Huainan.

Ever since Fei Huainan was arrested, the elderly couple had been looking in this direction. They didn't know if Fei Huainan had returned, but they came over to ask after seeing the light in this area.

The elderly couple entered the house and saw Fei Huainan lying on the bed. Grandma Wang immediately burst into tears.

"How dare they resort to vigilante justice? They have no nerve."

The use of vigilante justice is strictly prohibited.

At that time, all sorts of evil spirits and monsters were out there, and it was impossible to control them all, so some fearless people slipped through the net.

Fei Huainan smiled and comforted her, "I'm fine. This time, I actually turned misfortune into blessing. I met a very capable old gentleman who helped treat my leg."

Professor Wang and Grandma Wang didn't think much of it, after all, everyone knew that Fei Huainan's leg was crippled.

They thought it was because the wound was treated well.

Professor Wang was also heartbroken, but his heartache was different from Grandma Wang's. He didn't show it; his face just grew increasingly gloomy.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Xu Manman prepared a meal and invited the two elderly people to stay for dinner. Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately declined.

Fearing they might cause trouble for Fei Huainan and Xu Manman, and seeing that Fei Huainan was in good spirits, they left together.

Xu Manman and Fei Huainan had dinner.

In the kitchen, Xu Manman was still brewing Chinese medicine, which had a very strong smell.

Combining traditional Chinese medicine with medicated ointments can help you recover faster.

When Fei Huainan saw the traditional Chinese medicine, his face scrunched up, and his whole body was filled with rejection.

However, he wasn't a child; he knew he had to take the medicine.

He simply closed his eyes and drank the bowl of dark medicine clean in a few gulps.

Fei Huainan had just finished drinking his medicine when a piece of rock candy was stuffed into his mouth. The sweet taste quickly dispelled the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.

Fei Huainan was taken aback.

Xu Manman smiled and said, "This medicine feels okay. The medicine you gave me when I had heatstroke before was really bitter."

Xu Manman was so distressed at that time that tears welled up in her eyes.

When this matter was brought up, Fei Huainan looked away, a rare sign of guilt on his face.

Originally, there was no Coptis chinensis in the medicine Xu Manman was drinking; he specifically asked the doctor to add it.

Looking back now, Xu Manman was really amazing; she even finished drinking that bitter medicine.

Xu Manman was thinking about other things, so she took the medicine bowl and went out, ignoring Fei Huainan's guilty conscience.

Fei Huainan bit into the rock candy; its sweet taste was sweeter than any candy he had ever eaten before.

However, having suffered a loss of energy, Fei Huainan fell asleep after taking the medicine.

Xu Manman tidied up the yard and house, washed herself, and was just about to go inside when she heard a "crash" and the roof of her house collapsed.

She was startled.

She was so close, so very close, to getting in.

The corner of the tatami mat was the sleeping area, and Xu Manman waited until the house stabilized before going inside.

Standing inside the house, you can directly enjoy the night sky and the moon.

The sound of the roof collapsing startled Fei Huainan, who was fast asleep. He groggily opened his eyes, and as if remembering something, he anxiously called out Xu Manman's name.

Xu Manman went inside and told Fei Huainan what had happened. Fei Huainan looked at her with concern.

Xu Manman explained, "I'm fine. I wasn't inside when the roof collapsed."

Fei Huainan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can stay in this room for now. The kang (heated brick bed) is big enough anyway. You can move back to the other room after it's been renovated."

In Fei Huainan's house, there were only two rooms where people lived. One of them collapsed, so she could only live in Fei Huainan's room.

Fei Huainan slept inside, and she slept outside.

With someone else beside her, Xu Manman thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep in less than five minutes after lying down.

She was exhausted after a long day, and she hadn't slept a wink last night, so she was very tired.
