"If the shaking is too severe, it can easily tear the wound. What if it gets injured again?"
"It wouldn’t be worth it, would it?"
"Okay, I know, just do as you did just now."
The uncle was still very attentive, always watching.
"Um, right."
The two carefully switched positions, and only after seeing the uncle’s operation did Dr. Yu stand up with confidence.
Lu Jing was just stuck halfway up the mountain depression.
Seeing this, Yu hurriedly stepped forward to lend a hand:
"Dr. Lu, co, let help you down."
Lu Jing trusted Yu completely and imdiately handed over his hand.
Finally, he didn’t have to climb down step by step, anxiously holding his breath.
The ground was too slippery, a careless move could lead to a fall.
Lu Jing dared not take that risk.
With soone helping, of course, the speed was much faster.
Once he was finally down:
"The feeling of having solid ground under your feet is really good!"
He said, quite moved.
"Are you okay?"
Lu Jing shook his head:
"I’m fine, very well, thank you. I’ll treat you to hotpot when we get back."
Dr. Yu also smiled:
"Sure, as long as Captain Jiang has no objections."
Lu Jing suddenly felt embarrassed for a mont, it seed everyone knew soone was a jealous type?
Ahem, ahem, ahem.
"Stop the chatter, back to work!"
"Alright, alright."
The teasing lightened everyone’s heavy mood considerably.
Lu Jing squatted down and began to check the village chief again.
The more he examined, the more concerned his expression beca.
"I’m afraid it’s not just a fracture."
Hmm???
The village uncle was the first to ask:
"If it’s not a fracture, then what is it?"
Lu Jing pursed his lips:
"Uncle, please help Yu to lift the upper body of the village chief a bit. I need to feel his lumbar spine."
Clearly, the uncle was panicked.
"Okay, okay."
Yu, too, put aside his relaxed attitude, squatted down with the village uncle, and according to Dr. Lu’s instructions, they lifted the village chief.
"Dr. Lu, is this okay?"
"It’s okay, hold it like that."
"Okay."
Lu Jing felt around several tis with his hands, very carefully and ticulously.
The gravity never left his face; it hung there all this ti.
After about half a minute or so, he finally spoke:
"Put him down."
???
Not just the village uncle, even Yu was curious now.
"Dr. Lu, what exactly is the situation?"
Lu Jing sighed:
"It’s not a fracture, it’s completely severed."
Severed?
That’s really troubleso.
Even with surgery, a full recovery couldn’t be guaranteed.
And there’s a very high chance he’ll be wheelchair-bound for life.
For soone living in the mountains, it’s not just the future living and dical expenses, but mainly that he wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore.
The village chief was only in his fifties; by rights, he should be able to keep working for another ten or twenty years without any problems.
But now, he would have to stop here; could he ntally handle that?
For a mont, everyone fell silent.
However, the village chief himself was still relatively rational at this mont:
"Ah, it’s okay, at least I’m not dead."
No matter what, he still clung to life.
If the heavens didn’t take him, what could he do?
He would have to live life as it ca, wouldn’t he?
Though he said this, only he knew what his feelings really were.
Lu Jing took a few deep breaths:
"Please lift him up again; I need to perform ergency treatnt."
"Ei, ei, okay."
No one spoke anymore, only the sound of the gauze being cut and the village chief’s occasional groans of pain could be heard.
