Under the joint treatment of Doctor Liu from the neighboring village and Doctor Huang from the county town, Gu Dashi's legs were finally bandaged up.
"His leg has been broken before, but fortunately, it healed well and didn't leave any disability," Huang Zhong'an said to everyone after washing his hands. "However, this time is different. The previously healed bone has broken again, and it probably won't be that easy to recover.
"If he heals well, he might still be able to stand, but his mobility will likely be impaired."
That meant he would be a cripple. Everyone present understood the implication.
"And what if it doesn't heal well?" Gu Yuanjin asked.
"After all, he is quite old, which is exactly what I'm worried about," Huang Zhong'an replied. "If it doesn't heal well, he'll likely be confined to this bed for the rest of his life."
