Under the combined care of Doctor Liu from the neighboring village and Doctor Huang from the county seat, Gu Dashishi's leg was finally tended to.
"This leg of his has been broken before, but fortunately, it healed well and didn't leave him with any disability.
This time is different, however. The bone that had been set before has broken again. A full recovery won't be so easy.
If he recovers well, he'll still be able to stand, but he might have difficulty getting around."
Huang Zhong'an finished washing his hands before speaking to the group.
He'd be a cripple, then. Everyone present understood.
Gu Yuanjin asked, "And if it doesn't recover well?"
"He's getting on in years, after all," Huang Zhong'an said. "That's what worries me.
If it doesn't heal properly, he'll likely be confined to this bed for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Li Cuicui's taut nerves finally loosened. "In that case, Doctor, could you check him over for any other ailments?"
