Chapter 121 Healing the Leg

"Wait a minute."

After saying this, the old lady got up, opened a cabinet under her bed, rummaged through it, and finally took out two items, which she handed to Xu Sui.

"Give it to the two children in advance."

Xu Sui was stunned when she saw it.

These are two small gold locks, exquisite and delicate, with fine workmanship, and engraved with the words "peace and health," which are very pleasing.

Not to mention children, even she, an adult, likes it.

"Thank you, Grandma. I'll bring the babies to see you after they're born." Xu Sui smiled and accepted the gift without hesitation.

Grandma Xu glanced at Xu Sui's belly and said, "You and the two children are both quite healthy right now. The man you chose hasn't made you and the children suffer."

"Go back and live a good life from now on. Don't cause any more trouble."

In such a famine year, it was already a feat to ensure that pregnant wives and children didn't go hungry.

Xu Sui subconsciously touched her stomach, smiled at the old lady, and said, "Grandma, I'm leaving now."

"We'll come see you again when we have time."

Grandma Xu suddenly remembered something else, and she quickly waved her hand, "Wait, call your husband in, I want to see his leg."

He's a good person, but I'm afraid his leg will cause problems. If that happens, no matter how good his background and abilities are, he won't be able to join that unit.

Xu Sui, who was about to get up and leave, paused and asked curiously, "Grandma, when did you learn medicine? I've never heard of it before."

Grandma Xu rolled her eyes at her. "Your father also knows some medicine. I taught him. Our Xu family has produced several famous doctors in the past, and we owned more than one pharmacy."

"His family fortune was all earned through practicing medicine and running a pharmacy. Didn't he tell you and your children about that?"

Originally, she wanted her son to pursue a career in medicine.

Unfortunately, the son was determined to get into a military academy, but he failed the exam because of his poor physical fitness. He then went to a random school and returned to his hometown, where he met Wang Yinhua, a widow. From then on, he became even more unwilling to study military academies.

Xu Sui paused slightly, thought for a moment, then shook her head. "It seems not."

Her few memories of her father, who died young, were that he was a refined and fair-skinned man who treated all his children equally.

In those years, the family lived a very happy life.

Her father would occasionally prepare small surprises for her mother, and the couple remained loving and sweet even after many years of marriage.

Grandma Xu sighed, "It's nothing worth mentioning, so let's just leave it at that."

"Call your man in, I want to show him."

Xu Sui nodded, turned around and went out, quickly calling Qin Yunzhou, who was sitting in the living room, in.

Before going in, she whispered to him, "Grandma knows medicine, she wants to take a look at your leg."

Qin Yunzhou was somewhat surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply nodded and followed Xu Sui inside.

The couple went inside.

The old lady produced a set of silver needles from somewhere; they were all different sizes and shapes.

"Sit down and roll up your trouser legs."

Qin Yunzhou obeyed and did as instructed, putting his crutch aside and quickly pulling up his right trouser leg to reveal his injured calf. The injury had already healed, leaving only a series of hideous and terrifying scars.

Just by looking at him, you can tell how much pain he endured back then.

Since Qin Yunzhou was able to walk with crutches, Xu Sui hadn't seen his injured leg for a long time. Seeing it again suddenly filled her with mixed feelings.

No one knew better than her how much Qin Yunzhou loved the military and how passionate he was about protecting his country.

Besides the wound on his leg, he had countless other wounds, large and small, all over his body, including several bullet wounds that left scars from bullets piercing his flesh. He was just a hair's breadth away from dying from his heart and lungs.

When Grandma Xu saw the injuries on Qin Yunzhou's body, her expression improved considerably, and her attitude towards him became much gentler.

Soldiers who defend their country deserve respect, even if they are her juniors.

After taking his pulse and examining him.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. "Yunzhou's recovery ability is quite good. It's only a matter of time before his leg fully recovers. However, his years in the army have left him with many hidden injuries. It's not a big deal now that he's young, but it will be too late when these injuries erupt in his old age."

"He needs to take good care of himself now. He needs to come to me for acupuncture once a month. He should avoid bumping or bruising himself. He can recover, and once he recovers, his body should be even better than before the injury."

"Now it depends on whether you believe in this old woman and whether you are willing to let me perform acupuncture."

Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui were taken aback, and they looked at each other.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Qin Yunzhou spoke first, "Grandma, we trust you, please help us with the acupuncture."

If it were someone else, he would indeed hesitate.

After all, it involves a serious matter of health, and it is very dangerous to seek help from someone who has no reputation and whose medical skills are unknown.

If you're not careful, a few needles from the other person could backfire and cause paralysis.

However, this person was none other than Xu Sui's biological grandmother. The old lady's behavior just now did not resemble that of an ordinary old lady.

The other person speaks and acts with elegance and a scholarly air, indicating that they are literate and educated.

In the old lady's generation, people who could read and write were not ordinary people.

Grandma Xu wasn't surprised. She nodded and said, "Alright, I'll begin."

After saying that, she picked up the silver needles beside her and calmly inserted them into several acupoints on Qin Yunzhou's legs.

The long silver needle pierced through.

Qin Yunzhou barely felt any pain; instead, a warm current flowed through his injured right leg, a warm and comfortable sensation. Then, he felt as if his entire body had relaxed…

The treatment was completed.

Qin Yunzhou's last worry was also relieved.

The old lady was definitely a good doctor. During his years in Beijing, he was also fortunate enough to meet some truly skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and the feeling was similar to that of the old lady.

"Grandma, thank you." He thanked her sincerely, never expecting that there would be such a skilled doctor in such a small county, and that this doctor was someone close to them.

Upon hearing Qin Yunzhou's words, Xu Sui quickly realized that the old lady was indeed a person with real skills.

"Grandma, you're amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

Grandma Xu took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands.

"That's right. Back in the day, I was the only woman running the Xu family's pharmacy."

"Now, some of the older generation in our county still remember that there were several Xu family pharmacies in our area back then."

Leaving aside the past, even now, people still occasionally spend a lot of money to see her for medical treatment.

With these acupuncture treatments, and if she comes back once a month, Qin Yunzhou's leg will heal much faster. At this rate, he'll be fully recovered in less than six months, allowing him to return to his unit sooner.

Without her help, Qin Yunzhou would have needed at least half a year to fully recover.
