Seeing that Zhang Shi’s concern was written all over his face, Zhao Yan found it perfectly normal for someone unfamiliar with medicine to worry about his own recovery; he had encountered many such patients and had grown accustomed to it.
Zhao Yan spoke in a soothing tone, "Uncle Zhang, the itching you feel is just the new flesh growing where your leg was injured. I have already set the bone back into place; now, with the medicine applied and the bamboo splints holding it steady, you just need to wait for the bone to knit back together. You needn't worry about anything else."
Zhao Yan patted Zhang Shi’s uninjured leg, "Come now, relax your leg and don't hold it so stiffly. I need to undo the splints to check on your progress and change your dressing."
