The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Gauging the weight of the second brother’s leg, estimating the accuracy for setting the bone, she snapped his broken leg back into place with a “crack.” Xiao Yishan furrowed his thick eyebrows due to the intense pain in his sleep, murmuring something softly.

Looking at his face, turned green from the poison, and his furrowed eyebrows, Su Qingyue felt a rare surge of pity.

She had always been interested in traditional Chinese medicine. She began studying medicine at the age of ten, and at twenty-one began working as a doctor in a hospital, but in just four short years, her medical skill became famous and she won numerous awards in the field of medicine.

Her main job was being a “capable survivor” – a killer. An unqualified killer would be wiped out by the organization. However, if one showed exceptional talent, the missions would become more dangerous and critical.

She chose to hide her true abilities, choosing to survive and ensuring the organization couldn’t eliminate her, but not wanting to become number one either.

Perhaps in modern times, even if she didn’t become a killer, she would have made it as a doctor. Unfortunately, once in the organization, death was the only way out.

After her rebirth, living in poverty in the Xiao Family, she was happy.

She found two long cloth strips from a pile of cloths in a cabinet, smeared the medicinal paste over the fractured area around second brother’s leg, picked up two bamboo slices she had just found, and clamped them onto the fracture on the left calf of the second brother. She then wrapped one of the long cloths around one end of the two bamboo slices and tied it securely.

She then took the other cloth strip and tied the other end of the bamboo pieces.

Thus, the two bamboo slices were fastened onto second brother’s shin, providing stability for the broken bone.

However, these two bamboo slices had been previously used to stabilize a broken wrist, so they were a bit small and short for the second brother’s sturdy shin. Night had already fallen, and there were no suitable bamboo pieces available. As a temporary fix, she decided to look for more bamboo slices on the mountain the next day.

As something dripped down her eye, she wiped her face with her sleeve and realized that she was covered in sweat from exhaustion.

When Wang Cuihua brought a medicine bowl into the room, she saw the second brother naked, and reflexively retreated out of the room.

Su Qingyue glanced at her actions, knowing that it was not convenient for a little wife like Cuihua to see another man’s naked body.

Compared to this feudal era, even she should not look, but as a doctor, she was an exception.

She stood up and walked to the doorway, and Wang Cuihua handed her the medicine bowl, “Qingyue, I decocted the medicine according to your method.” “Thank you.”

“No need to be so polite.” Wang Cuihua wanted to peer into the room but felt it was not appropriate, “That… is second brother’s injury serious?”

“He should wake up by tomorrow morning. The snake venom has paralyzed his nerves, so for the next few days, he won’t feel anything in his body, but it will slowly improve. As for his broken left leg, to avoid any lingering issues, he has to rest and recuperate for at least one or two months.”

“So, second Brother Xiao won’t die?”

“Not only will he not die,” Su Qingyue said lightly, “he will make a full recovery. ”

“That’s good.” Wang Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief, “The villagers saw the state the second brother was in and said he couldn’t be saved. Fuquan and I were scared to death. To make things worse, Chuan was unconscious at this time… Speaking of Chuan, how is he?”

“He won’t die.” Su Qingyue thought for a moment, “I still need to figure out his situation more carefully.”

Wang Cuihua looked at her with admiration on her face, “Qingyue, I think you’re amazing.. How come I never knew before that you could treat injuries?”
