章節 629: Perks from All Those Years

Flipping out the tiny blade from her Swiss Army Knife, Gu Nianzhi patiently cut at the stubborn piece of bark clinging on. As flexible as the bark was, it was no match for a knife. Soon, Gu Nianzhi had cut off the lingering bark and completely cut the branch off the tree. Feeling it in her hand, she knew it could be used as a cane, but the handle part was prickly with splinters, so it was uncomfortable in her palm. She then picked another even smaller blade to carefully smooth out the top of the branch until it was silky and uniform. She smiled when all the splinters were gone. It felt much nicer to hold now.

With a cane, the next thing to do was cut the willow branch into several pieces to make a splint to secure her fractured left fibula. That way, she could heal quickly and guarantee the bone would heal properly. She didn't want to get a limp.
