Chapter 267: Fracture

My fragile lower leg bone snapped loudly on the last step, and I licked my wounds painfully and sorrowfully like a sheep with a broken leg.

Aunt Wanru opened her mouth in shock and couldn't close it, standing blankly in place watching my wailing. Sister Xiao Mei, whose face was pale with fright, dialed 120 for emergency help without hesitation. Before the ambulance arrived at the door, I had already been laid on the long sofa by my uncle's broad chest and powerful arms.

I smiled weakly. The bone-deep pain made me sweat profusely. This is the pain of a broken bone, which is more thorough than bone-deep. My strong body couldn't withstand this fall, and I sighed in my heart at my own fragility.

The ambulance sent me directly to the hospital. After examination, X-rays, and re-examination, an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor with a gray beard came in, circled around me a few times, and suddenly pulled, rubbed, and patted my fracture. Just as I was in so much pain that I wanted to kick him out, he held a mouthful of cold water, spat it on my leg, and a chill came over me.

Before I could react, he patted me with a smile and said: "Alright! Young man, rest assured for a few days, and it will be the same as before."

I looked at him suspiciously, and just as I was about to thank him, he had already drifted out, as if he were an immortal who had descended from thin air.

Sister Xiao Mei patted her chest to thank Heaven, and a blush gradually appeared on her pale face. From the moment I got on the ambulance, she accompanied me by my side, pushing me to do various examinations tirelessly like a robot.

"That was the 'water master' arranged by Secretary He, the best bone-setting master, with ancestral skills," Sister Xiao Mei tucked the quilt for me and said with a smile.

"Water master," in our south, is actually an honorific for bone-setting masters. These people set bones for others, relying on a pair of hands, a mouthful of water, and a few incantations, and the bones they set can be as good as new, which is miraculous. To this day, no one can explain the mystery of this skill.

My lower leg bone was just fractured, which for a water master with fifty years of experience, is simply not a matter. After a mouthful of cold water, I felt a cool breeze coming from the fracture, and it seemed I could hear the sound of the bones stitching together.

After Sister Xiao Mei was busy for a while, she finally stopped, sat by my bed, reached out to probe my forehead, and muttered: "Fortunately, no fever."

I laughed out loud. A small fracture has nothing to do with a fever. She is also a junior college student, yet she doesn't even have this common sense.

I said: "Sister Xiao Mei, what kind of worry is this? Even fever, why don't you say I have tuberculosis?"

She curled her lip and said: "Tuberculosis your head, tuberculosis is a woman's disease. You are a big man, and you still want to get a woman's disease, and you don't know how to be ashamed."

I asked in surprise: "Is tuberculosis only for women?"

"Of course," she pursed her lips and smiled: "Men and women have different bodies, of course they have different diseases." After speaking, she felt it was wrong, reached out and patted her mouth lightly, and said: "I am a crow's mouth, everything is fine, why talk about illness, it's so unlucky."

She got up to pour me water. Although she was wearing thick autumn clothes, she still couldn't hide her charming figure. She turned her back to me, bent over slightly, and her raised buttocks drew a beautiful arc, plump and firm.

I am staying in a high-level ward, which is a place arranged by my uncle. To be able to heal in such a ward, the lowest level is also at the deputy department level.

This is a suite, with a small reception room outside, with a few soft sofas. I am lying on a bed that can be raised and lowered and moved at any time. On the bedside cabinet is a beautiful vase with a few beautiful flowers inserted in it.

The room is warm and quiet, and you can't smell half a bit of medicine, and you can't even see half a bit of the hospital. Even the doctors and nurses coming and going are wearing different clothes.

A person with a broken leg is a useless person! I am like a fish lying on the beach, looking at the white ceiling lonely and helplessly.

Thinking of coming to find my uncle, I came with two hidden agendas, but neither of them was revealed. I annoyed myself and hammered the bed. The sound startled Sister Xiao Mei, who came over nervously and asked concernedly: "Does it hurt?"

I shook my head, signaling her to take my clothes, I want to make a call.

Holding the phone, several people popped into my mind. Chen Meng? Huang Weiwei? Aunt? The shadows of several people spun rapidly in my mind, and I didn't know who to call at all.

Sister Xiao Mei stood by and reminded me cleverly: "Why don't you call Secretary He and report that you are safe?"

I shook my head. My uncle wouldn't care about my call. In the eyes of a man who has walked through a hail of bullets, my small accident doesn't even deserve the term "being wounded," not to mention he has already arranged everything.

"Why don't you call your girlfriend?" Sister Xiao Mei hesitated for a long time and said: "The person who cares about you the most now should be her. Such a big thing, it's better to tell her."

I still shook my head. Huang Weiwei is a girl with a weak personality. She has never seen suffering in her life. She doesn't know that life has tears besides laughter, and she doesn't know that there are more thorns in the world besides flowers. If she knew, the world would immediately be covered in dark clouds, and she would cry and have no opinion, which would only add worry to others.

"Who do you want to call?" Sister Xiao Mei asked me dissatisfiedly, blaming me: "Actually, it's better not to tell others. With such a small injury, it's fine for me to serve you here. Telling others will only make them worry."

Her words made me flash a thought. Among these people, only Chen Meng would not worry about me! What's more, I still shoulder the responsibility related to her.

I decided to call Chen Meng.

Chen Meng's voice was lazy and sexy, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and her voice was as small as a mosquito: "Is it Chen Feng? It's so late, where are you?"

I said: "Mengmeng, I'm in the hospital, I broke my leg."

She paused over there, and suddenly her scream came: "Which hospital are you in? Is the injury serious?"

I smiled faintly and said: "It's fine, just a fracture."

"Why are you so careless? I'll come see you." I heard the sound of lifting the quilt, the sound of putting on clothes, and her hurried footsteps in the receiver. Then came her anxious voice: "Which hospital?"

I know that if I don't tell her at this time, with her sharpness and intelligence as a reporter, she will find me within a few minutes. What's more, from this series of her behaviors, I know that she is concerned about me.

I felt uneasy in my heart. I was afraid she would come, but I vaguely hoped she would come. Chen Meng is a fiery girl, but in the matter of He Jiaxiao, I can fully see the timidity and softness in her heart. She is like a beautiful glass bottle, beautiful and strong on the outside, but as long as it falls lightly, it will be smashed to pieces.

When Chen Meng came in, she brought a sense of autumn. Her hair, which she hadn't had time to tidy up, was scattered on her chest, looking extremely charming and sexy.

Sister Xiao Mei greeted her cleverly and stood aside. Chen Meng also knew Sister Xiao Mei, was surprised by her presence, and stared at me.

I smiled weakly. I estimate that in the white sheets, my smiling face must look like an ugly potato.

"What are you here for?" I asked, somewhat happy, but somewhat hesitant.

"How did you do this? You broke your leg for no reason, what do you want to do?" Chen Meng was clearly very angry, but I heard worry and anxiety in her words.

"Nothing, I wasn't careful when going down the stairs. Just a fracture," I said, not looking at her face.

"Just a fracture. If you fall and become a cripple, who will marry you?" She laughed without any scheming, lifted my quilt, and wanted to check my injured leg.

I was shocked. When I set the bone just now, I was left with only a pair of underwear. Now I am a naked fish, how can I be exposed on the hot beach?

I finally failed to stop her action. My words were still stuck in my throat, and she had already lifted the quilt. On the white sheets, my two legs were like two tree stumps, shyly trying to hide under the sheets.

Chen Meng was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she turned around, not daring to look at me.

Sister Xiao Mei, standing on the side, pursed her lips and smiled, helped me cover the quilt, and greeted Chen Meng to sit down and talk.

"If you're fine, I won't sit. You rest well, I'll come see you tomorrow." She didn't look back and ran out of the door as if fleeing.

Her embarrassment made Sister Xiao Mei laugh, and she pursed her lips and said: "This big girl, she doesn't know how to be careful."

I didn't answer, and the scene of Chen Meng coming and going without a trace was still circling in my mind. ===== CHAPTER 268 =====
