The Zhang family stared dumbly at Gu Conghua.
Gu Conghua was a doctor and now that Zhang Jianguo was injured, they naturally relied on the doctor.
Gu Conghua went over to examine him. He saw that Zhang Jianguo’s face was all bruised and swollen. He lay on the bed with a look of terror on his face as he continued to shout that it hurt, and… there was a ghost!
He was shocked!
My God! Whoever had beaten him had been truly brutal. Which kind soul had beaten this bastard up so badly?
Gu Conghua was not the type of gentle scholar who remained kindly in every circumstance. He had no intention of harming others, but this Zhang family had always bullied his family and he knew it.
He did not have any good feelings towards the Zhang family. He was inwardly delighted to see that a scumbag like Zhang Jianguo had been beaten up. But he could not possibly display his feelings in these circumstances.
Zhang Jianguo was still shouting and yelling. Gu Conghua went over and said to him, “Don’t move. Let me examine you…”
“Ah Ah Ah Don’t come near! Don’t come near… Ghost…”
Wang Mingtao’s temple throbbed when he heard that. “Zhang Jianguo, shut up! How can there be a ghost in bright daylight? What era are we in? What are you yelling about?”
“You’re befuddled with drink, aren’t you? Shut up now!”
In these times, these were considered superstitions. Most people did not dare to mention them, and only believed in science. They were not even allowed to pay their respects at their ancestors’ graves as these were feudal superstitions, much less shout openly about it like Zhang Jianguo.
Zhang Jianguo had been terrified out of his wits. He could not forget the eerie events of last night. The terrifying sounds…
“No, No, there really was… really was wu wu wu… I was… she’s the one who beat me… it was a female one wu wu wu…”
A chill shot through the listeners!
Wang Mingtao was enraged. “You shut up. You’re always fooling around outside. Goodness knows who you’ve offended and now they’ve beaten you up. What nonsense are you spouting? Judging by your state, you might even have fallen after drinking too much! Hmph!”
Old Madam Zhang, who was standing nearby, cried loudly, “Brigade leader, how could he have fallen? Our Jianguo is so obedient, he certainly would not have fallen. Which vicious person beat my son up like that? Wu wu wu, Brigade Leader, you must certainly give us justice. My son…”
Wang Mingtao’s head ached from the racket. He summoned a few men in the brigade. “Hold him down. Old Gu, you examine him and do something for his leg!”
The men hurriedly held Zhang Jianguo down. Gu Conghua did not say anything. He opened his medical kit and took out some tools like bandages, scissors and so on!
He needed to disinfect the wounds and set the broken leg!
In these times, medical conditions were poor, especially in the villages. The medicines used by Gu Conghua were all herbs that he had picked himself on the mountainside. He was certainly not as well equipped as a hospital.
Without anesthesia, the process of setting a bone was agonizing. The moment Gu Conghua touched his leg, Zhang Jianguo wailed terribly.
“Ah…”
Everyone jumped at the terrible scream!
Gu Conghua was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.
When Old Madam Zhang saw her darling son screaming so terribly, she rushed towards Gu Conghua. “What are you doing? Be gentler. If you hurt my son, I’ll kill you, old man !”
Gu Qingyao was indignant. Despicable!
Old baggage. If she had known, she would have hit Zhang Jianguo a few more times last night.
Wang Mingtao said angrily, “Why are you shouting? The bone is broken, and of course, it hurts to set it. Go wait somewhere else!”
