Ye Yuwei began to go down the mountain with Yuan Mo on her back.
“It’s not that painful, Mrs. Gu. You don’t have to go so fast,” said Yuan Mo who rested on Ye Yuwei’s back with his hands clasped around her neck.
Yu Yuwei carried Yuan Mo on her back and didn’t slow down after what Yuan Mo said. How could it not be painful when his ankle was visibly swollen?
“Just bear with it a little more. You will be fine once we get down the mountain,” Ye Yuwei comforted him softly.
“My mom said boys shouldn’t cry,” said Yuan Mo softly.
Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a second and remembered what Grandpa Yuan said about Yuan Mo not having seen his parents for more than a year because his parents were in the army.
“Well, that doesn’t apply to kids. It’s okay to cry if it hurts.” Ye Yuwei began to feel sorry for Yuan Mo. The little boy that she just discovered who always played with her daughter and made her daughter laugh had wounds of his own.
Yuan Mo pursed his lips tightly and tried his best not to cry.
Ye Yuwei carried Yuan Mo all the way to Master Yao Lao’s place and put him on the bed for patients outside the house.
Master Yao Lao went to the bed, frowning, and reached out to grab Yuan Mo’s ankle. Ye Yuwei quickly pulled Yuan Mo into her arms when he let out a loud cry of pain.
“His bones are dislocated. What did you do, son?” said Master Yao Lao. Knowing his condition, Master Yao Lao didn’t appear to be worried about the dislocation.
Yuan Mo on the other hand was shivering in pain, his face full of sweat.
“Hug him, Wei Wei. I am going to help put his bones back into position,” Master Yao Lao looked at Yuan Mo’s swollen ankle and frowned as she said.
Ye Yuwei looked at Master Yao Lao in disbelief. Yuan Mo was just a child, could he take the pain from putting dislocated bones back into their place?
That kind of pain…
Master Yao Lao held Yuan Mo’s feet and rubbed it gently, and Yuan Mo finally broke down and cried loudly in agony.
Ye Yuwei hugged Yuan Mo tightly and held his little head to her shoulder.
“It will be over soon, you will be fine in no time.”
“Mommy, Mommy…” The pain must have been terrible judging from the way Yuan Mo cried and looked for his mother hysterically.
Ye Yuwei continued to hug Yuan Mo tightly with one hand, and held his other leg still with the other hand.
Ye Xicheng heard Yuan Mo’s crying from afar when he brought his sister back from the mountain. He held his sister’s hand with one hand and held Yuan Mo’s little basket with the other.
Ye Xicheng quickly put down the basket and ran into the house when he heard Yuan Mo crying. He ran to the bed and clenched his fists, tears welling in his eyes when he saw Yuan Mo struggling in pain.
“What happened to Brother Yuan Mo, mother?” asked Xixi while looking at her mother worriedly. The way Brother Yuan Mo was crying sounded painful.
“Get your father, Xicheng,” Master Yao Lao ordered. Ye Yuwei alone was not strong enough to hold Yuan Mo still. It made putting the dislocated bones back into position difficult and more painful when Yuan Mo kept struggling due to the pain.
Yuan Mo cried so loud that it alerted Gu Juexi who was in the house. He was already at the door before Ye Xicheng could go to get him.
“What’s wrong?” asked Gu Juexi as he walked next to Ye Yuwei and took her place. He pulled the struggling Yuan Mo into his arms and frowned when he realized how strong the little boy was.
Yuan Mo didn’t stop crying and looking for his mother. Ye Yuwei was holding his other leg still, and felt heartache as she listened to him cry.
