Chapter 89: Scared Away

  Shoulder dislocation is extremely painful.

  Xing Wendin was like this at the moment, his whole body cold, his fingers stiff. He was in so much pain that he didn't want to live, and tears streamed down his face. Such a big man, crying like this, would make outsiders look down on him.

  His parents were heartbroken.

  The Xing family invited Dr. Nai to come and set Master Xing Wen's bones.

  Ni Dafu is already sixty years old, and his hands and feet are not as steady. Diagnosing pulses is easy to say, but the skill of bone-setting is not as good as before. This has nothing to do with experience. At a certain age, the strength in one's hands is no longer willing to obey. No matter how good the medical skills are, they will not work if the force is not enough.

  Ni Dafu then brought over his two sons to help out.

  His sons, also medical practitioners, carried on the family tradition.

  Ni Dafu came in and took a look, Xing Wendeng's shoulders were slumped.

  "Take off your outer garments and let me feel your bones." Doctor Ni ordered.

  The servant of the Xing family came forward and helped Xing Wendeng take off his jacket.

  Perhaps it touched a sore spot, Xing Wendeng shouted and cried even more sorrowfully.

  Ni Daifu knew the pain of dislocation. A man cried like this, Ni Daifu didn't think it was strange, after all, it hurt too much, piercing his heart every moment.

  "...this is a fracture." Rubbing his head, Dr. Nai saw that Xing Wendeng's armpit was bulging with a bone, and he made a judgment in his heart.

  Shoulder joint dislocation is divided into four major situations: upward dislocation, downward dislocation, inward dislocation and backward dislocation.

  In these four major situations, there are complete and partial drops, as well as slow drops caused by muscle weakness and contraction.

  Xing Wendian's arm seems to have been deliberately removed and is now gone.

  The man who was carrying him on his back was a bit shorter than Xing Wendeng.

  Even so, Ni Dafu continued to feel around. He had been a doctor for many years and was always cautious.

  At this touch, Ni Daifu's heart was greatly shocked.

  His face changed color.

  Next to Mr. Nai, stood Xing Wendings father and Mr. Nais two sons. Seeing Mr. Nai suddenly change his face, the criminal father was anxious and asked: "Mr. Nai, how is my son's injury?"

  "It's not good, it's not good!" Dr. Nai sighed, "Who gave the order to hurt Lang's arm? It's so cruel. Not only is it dislocated, but also half of the bone is displaced and the joint is partially dislocated. If we fix the dislocation now, it will cause further displacement and complete dislocation of the joint, rendering this arm useless!"

  If it falls, it will cause the scapula to protrude and the interscapular space to collapse.

  It's just half a mile away and hasn't appeared yet.

  But it's all downhill from here.

  It's easy to dislocate again after half a mile of walking, and it becomes completely dislocated, which means that one place is cured but another place is dislocated. If so, it's easy to say.

  But the scapula is close to the branch bone.

  That guy who was holding onto Xing Wendings arm ended up dislocating his collarbone too.

  Collarbone, also known as clavicle.

  If the doctor dares to take on this drop, he will immediately cause a half-drop and a semi-dislocation of the limb, resulting in a full drop and a complete dislocation of the limb.

  Curing one place is equivalent to adding two more dislocations, and the patient will suffer!

  Ni Daifu felt frightened.

  "...the one who defeated Lang Hu's arm is not only a master of medicine, but also an extraordinary martial artist." Nai Daifu told Xing Wendian's parents, "I'm too old and powerless to do anything about it!"

  Only those with exceptional medical skills can clearly understand the various joints of the shoulder and clavicle.

  Only those with high martial arts skills can exert just the right amount of force to dislocate joints.

  The person who tied up Xing Wendings arm is intentionally making things difficult for him, and wants Xing Wending to suffer a bit.

  Ni Daifu pondered: Could there really be such a master in Wangxian? The doctors of Wangxian, he knew them all.

  "It's actually someone......" Niedaifu's mind flashed, "Could it be Chen Gongzi's handwriting? His medical skills are stunning. Apart from him, no one else has this skill. When I was young, my hands and feet were agile, but I didn't have this skill either."

  Ní Dàfū had a moment of distraction.

  The crowd of jailers heard this and their faces darkened with anger.

  Xing Wendin cried even more miserably.

  "Oh, it hurts! It hurts!" Xing Wendeng cried out in pain alone.

  It's been almost two hours since I dislocated my arm.

  If treated promptly and rested for several months, there will be no problem afterwards. If delayed, even if the bone is set properly, an old illness will still be left behind afterwards. That old illness will then be difficult to recover from.

  "Ni Daifu, don't say you can't do anything!" Xing Fu said anxiously. "In our county, besides you, who else has good medical skills? Please save my son! If we delay any further, his arm will be crippled! I beg of your mercy."

  Ni Daifu's heart is kind and compassionate.

  However, the more skilled a doctor is, the more he knows his own inadequacies and becomes even more timid.

  Ni Dafu saw this kind of dislocation for the first time.

  He's old and his hands are unsteady. If he were twenty years younger, he might have a chance. Now, he doesn't even have a 10% grasp of it, so naturally he doesn't dare to take action rashly.

  Ni Daifu told Xing Fu: "......either invite another strong and skilled doctor, or invite the person who broke Lao Lang's arm to come back and take over."

  "What?" The Jin family was slightly stunned.

  Is bone-setting also coming in disorder?

  "...This dislocation, there is no luck involved. That person did it on purpose. If not for his exceptional medical skills, familiarity with the body's joints, and expertise in orthopedics, he wouldn't have been able to do such a precise job." Dr. Ni explained, "So, the one who ordered Lang's arm to be broken, his medical skills are even better."

  Ni Dafu had already guessed in his heart that it was probably Chen Jing.

  As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel biased towards him.

  Everyone in the Xing family could hear it clearly.

  Others might let it go, but Xing Wendian's mother couldn't bear to hear this and flew into a rage: "That scoundrel is so brazen, even if the authorities don't pursue him, we'll definitely beat him to death! You're also getting senile, speaking such nonsense!"

  The woman's surname is Zhang.

  The Xie family's current status is all thanks to this woman.

  Zhang had a paternal cousin, who was sold to a wealthy family surnamed Wang in Hangzhou due to poverty at home when he was young. He became a personal attendant of the young master of the Wang family because of his cleverness.

  Later, Wang Lao Ye was promoted and went to the capital to be an official. In just a few years, Lao Ye passed away, and Wang Da Shaoye took over as head of the household. The trusted personal attendant by Da Shaoye's side also became the small manager of the estate.

  As the old housekeepers returned home one by one to enjoy their retirement, Zhang's elder cousin became the general manager of the estate.

  Six years ago, Wang was a high-ranking official, serving as Deputy Prime Minister.

  A seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's gate.

  Zhang's elder cousin, as the general manager of the prime minister's office, rose to prominence. Not to mention the small officials in local governments, even high-ranking officials in the capital had to fawn and flatter him.

  Four years ago, Wang Zai went south on a mission for the emperor and stayed in Hangzhou for three months. Zhang's elder brother had been attending him all along.

  That cousin also came back to find his relatives.

  The Zhang family was very poor at that time and encountered several famines. Relatives within the three degrees of mourning either left their homes to go to unknown places or starved to death, leaving only Zhang's cousin behind.

  Zhang's family had married into the Xing family by then.

  With the help of his elder brother, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department, the Xing family, which used to rent a small shop and sell paper horses, suddenly became one of the most prominent families overnight. If we say that the biggest nouveau riche in Wang County is none other than the Xing family.

  Everyone is afraid of them, and even the county magistrate tries to curry favor with them a bit, but they don't show respect for them. There are many who gossip about them behind their backs.

  This Zhang is even more arrogant.

  She is Xing Wendian's birth mother.

  Chen Jiong may not know that the Xing family has this relationship, but Shen Changyu and He Ti are aware. It is said that Chen Jiong had subdued Xing Wending's arm, and Shen Changyu and He's father and son were frightened.

  This thing is hard to end well.

  Ni Daifu merely spoke the truth, but immediately provoked Zhang's anger. He also became somewhat fearful in his heart and no longer tried to persuade her, only saying: "Milady, please calm your anger! I am truly incompetent..."

  Zhang's family was arrogant, but also respected Ni Daifu.

  In her early years, her family was in decline. Her father often fell ill and had no money to see a doctor or buy medicine. It was Mr. Nai who treated him for free and also delivered the medicine for free.

  Being poor in a bustling city, no one asks, Zhang's feelings are the deepest. So, Ni Daifu's good medical ethics and character, Zhang remembers. This person is also considered to be clear about favors and grudges.

  In recent years, Zhang's temper has become more and more violent. When she got angry for a moment, she scolded Ni Daifu a few words. After Ni Daifu apologized, she didn't continue to scold him either.

  "Don't say that, your medical skills are good, we all know. Zhang's attitude slightly eased and said, "What to do, don't shirk responsibility. We all know you're steady. This illness, apart from you, who else can we trust? You treat it boldly, no matter what, we won't blame you."

  "Madam, how could I not do my best?" Dr. Nai sighed and said, "I'm getting old, and although I have the heart for it, I don't have the strength anymore. This kind of orthopedics requires a lot of physical strength, which I no longer possess... My children are also useless, they can't take over..."

  Ni Dafu never used personal gain to coerce patients.

  He said it can't be cured, not intentionally making things difficult for personal gain, but really can't be cured.

  His medical ethics, Zhang was convinced.

  Hearing him say this again and again, Zhang knew in her heart that this old doctor really didn't dare to treat it anymore.

  "Sorry to trouble you." Zhang also didn't make things difficult for him and had someone send him back.

  "Alas, can't go...!" The jailer shouted from behind, "Ayo, the doctor has left, what about San'er's arm?"

  Xing Wendin is the third child in his family.

  "He can't be cured either." Zhang said, not allowing any discussion, "Now going to Mingzhou to ask a doctor, delaying one day's work back and forth, I'm afraid it won't be in time. Under County Magistrate Ni, who else has good medical skills?"

  The whole family asks Dr. Nai for medical treatment and takes his medicine.

  Other doctors, they couldn't afford to invite when they were poor before, and later looked down on them after becoming wealthy, never having any dealings with each other.

  The people of the prison replied to her: "Xu Yixu Daifu, Liu Lingsheng Liu Daifu, these two are from a noble family and one is a disciple of a famous doctor."

  "Please come in." said Zhang.

  The family of the prisoner hastened to attend to it.

  "Go back to Mingzhou and invite a few more doctors with exceptional medical skills, go now." said Zhang.

  She used to think that it was just a dislocation, and Doctor Ni would definitely be able to cure it, so she didn't plan on going to Mingzhou to find a doctor. Now, however, she finds it troublesome, and can only hastily make arrangements.

  "Yes."

  Xing Wendin was still crying nonstop.

  He cried until his voice was hoarse, his whole body was cold and sweaty, and his face was pale.

  Zhang's heart ached with worry.

  She wished she could go to prison at night and kill Chen Jing!

  After waiting for a while, the doctor didn't come, but Meng Yanju arrived first.

  His face was also purple and green in patches.

  The Meng and Xing families have plans for a marriage alliance, and now they are also of one mind.

  "Master Wen's arm, hasn't it been reattached yet?" Meng Yanju saw Xing Wendeng still crying and was shocked. "Didn't you call a doctor?"
