Lin Xiao had already supported her the moment she cried out, but it was evident she had severely sprained her ankle. Lin Xiao had distinctly heard a "crack" from her bone.
That sound was undeniably real.
"Hiss..." Li Shuxiao tried to bear the pain, but the ache in her ankle made her involuntarily gasp for air, attempting to relax, her entire body's muscles almost taut.
Lin Xiao glanced at it; it was already beginning to swell. He immediately pulled Li Shuxiao to a chair by the side.
"It hurts..."
Li Shuxiao pointed to her ankle. She was wearing flat shoes, but the weather hadn't been very warm lately, and her legs were covered in thick tights. However, the pressure from these tight, thick tights was now causing her unbearable pain.
"Let me take a look."
Lin Xiao said, squatting down directly to remove her shoe.
"Ah?"
Li Shuxiao was taken aback.
"Don't worry, I've studied medicine for a long time and have done quite a bit of research on the human skeletal system. Rest assured, I won't mess around. If I can't handle it, I'll take you to the hospital immediately." Lin Xiao held Li Shuxiao's foot, performing a preliminary examination.
Coincidentally, he also asked Luo Bing to come closer and observe.
"Bingbing, this situation is quite serious. The bone is slightly dislocated and needs to be set back into place." Lin Xiao said, already preparing to demonstrate.
"Brother-in-law, you..."
Li Shuxiao was about to speak when she felt a wave of excruciating pain, letting out a scream, "Ah!!"
She tried to pull her foot away from Lin Xiao's grasp, but his grip was strong, and she couldn't free it.
"There."
Lin Xiao said, "Bingbing, did you remember the technique just now?"
"Not very well."
Luo Bing scratched his head. "Uncle, you were too fast. I could only see the general movement..."
"It has to be fast, because if we perform this kind of treatment, we must be quick, precise, and accurate. This way, we can minimize the patient's suffering," Lin Xiao explained. "Just now, Aunt only had time to feel pain for a moment, and it was quickly over."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Li Shuxiao was about to protest, intending to scold Lin Xiao thoroughly, saying, "What were you messing around for, that hurt so much!" She planned to complain to Lin Xiao later, calling him a scoundrel who didn't take her foot seriously!
However, just as she was about to speak, she realized that the pain in her ankle seemed to have subsided? It felt like only a little pain remained, and she even tried to move her ankle, finding that there was nothing wrong with it?
What was going on?
Did Lin Xiao actually have this ability?
"Alright, your foot is fine now. Get up and try walking a couple of steps." Lin Xiao said, standing up.
"Really?"
Li Shuxiao blinked, clearly not entirely convinced. But when she put on her shoe and walked a few steps, she discovered that it was indeed fine!
She had only witnessed something like this before from an old Chinese physician in Huadu, but that man was already white-haired and had been practicing medicine for decades. Lin Xiao was so skilled?
"It's alright now, isn't it?"
Lin Xiao saw her surprised expression and said, "Perhaps we should head back first."
"Ah... okay."
Li Shuxiao was still reeling from the shock of what had just happened.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you become a doctor?"
