Chapter 558: A Devoted Husband and Wife
The villagers were all anxious, but they were polite while queuing, and no one argued or cut in line.
Yang Cheng felt that these villagers were honest and kind, unlike many people in today’s society who carry hostility and can start a fight at the drop of a hat.
Looking at these innocent smiling faces, his mood brightened, and he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"That elder sister spoke to me first, so you should come for treatment first."
Yang Cheng raised his hand and pointed to the middle-aged woman who had spoken earlier.
The woman looked delighted but a bit embarrassed, saying, "It’s not me who is sick, it’s my husband. But he has difficulty walking, can you come to my house?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Chan pointed to several young men, "You guys, go to Ms. Hong’s house, bring him here for treatment, and everyone else should go home and bring the patients here. The Little Divine Doctor can’t visit each house."
"Alright!"
The young men agreed and ran off.
In a few minutes, the man was carried over and placed on a chair nearby.
The man looked to be in his forties, quite overweight, which is rare in Hidden Cloud Village since they eat pure natural food from the mountains, with little oil. It’s hard to get fat.
"For years, my husband has suffered leg pain, and now he can’t walk at all. Please, divine doctor, heal him, I am willing to give you a year’s income."
Yun Hong pleaded, looking anxiously at Yang Cheng.
Her husband had been ill for so many years, and now she finally saw hope for recovery, naturally, she was excited.
Yang Cheng looked at the man’s leg, noting a scar, and asked, "Was he injured before?"
"Yes! A few years ago, he fell off the mountain and hurt his leg, and although the wound healed, it’s always been painful since then. I suspect there might be dirt in the old wound."
Yun Hong quickly answered, her eyes lighting up.
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, concentrated, and activated his X-ray Vision, observing the man’s leg and frowned a bit.
Seeing his expression, Yun Hong’s heart hung in suspense.
Yang Cheng, looking somewhat seasoned, spoke, "I probably know why now. Your husband’s leg indeed has issues. If it still hurts, there’s a chance to cure it, but if it’s completely numb, even a god couldn’t help."
"Husband, does your leg still hurt?"
Yun Hong asked tentatively, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
The middle-aged man shook his head, sighed, "It used to hurt, but now it’s truly numb."
As soon as he said this, the hope in Yun Hong’s eyes was completely shattered, turning into a look of despair.
"I am a useless person!"
"Honghong, I’m sorry, you should not bother with me anymore, remarry while you’re young and let me fend for myself!"
The man said, covering his face and sobbing.
"Gangzi, why are you saying such nonsense! I will not give up on you. If you can’t stand up, I’ll take care of you forever!"
Yun Hong immediately retorted, holding his hand tightly.
Everyone watching the couple felt deeply moved.
"Little Divine Doctor, can it really not be cured?"
Yun Chan looked at Yang Cheng and asked again.
She thought Yang Cheng was able to heal Da Shan’s parents; how could he not heal Gangzi’s leg?
"Don’t rush, this brother’s leg isn’t certainly beyond cure, let’s give it a try."
Yang Cheng’s lips curved into a smile, then he called Da Shan over and whispered a few words into his ear.
"Brother Cen, what are you planning to do?"
Da Shan looked puzzled.
"Go on, you’ll see soon."
Yang Cheng urged.
Da Shan nodded, turned to go into the house, and a clattering sound was heard from inside.
"Little Divine Doctor, what are you trying to do?"
Yun Hong wiped her tears and asked somewhat confused.
"Though brother says his leg feels numb, we can still try. If the nerves in his leg aren’t entirely dead, there’s still a glimmer of hope."
As Yang Cheng finished, Yun Hong’s eyes brightened again.
"Gangzi, did you hear? Little Divine Doctor says there’s still hope."
Yun Hong hugged her husband, whispering encouragement.
Everyone witnessing this scene silently prayed for them, hoping Gangzi’s leg would recover.
At this moment, Da Shan emerged carrying a pile of tools from the house, and upon closer inspection, they were hammers, hoes, and some messy farming tools.
"Da Shan, what are you doing with those?"
Everyone looked baffled.
"Brother Cen asked me to get them; I don’t know why either!"
Da Shan scratched his head, looking at Yang Cheng beside him.
"I’m using these to test if brother’s leg reacts in any way, if he can feel pain, then I can heal him, so don’t worry."
Yang Cheng waved to reassure everyone, then took out two Silver Needles and walked towards Gangzi.
"N-No need to test, right?"
Gangzi stuttered, eyes filled with fear.
"Don’t be nervous, Little Divine Doctor’s medical skills are superb, you won’t get hurt."
Yun Hong comforted him, holding his shoulder to prevent him from struggling.
"The acupuncture point I’m going to prick may be quite painful, but since your leg is numb, you might not feel it. It’s okay; I will test with all these tools. If you feel anything, tell me."
Yang Cheng smiled slightly and then suddenly pierced the needle into Gangzi’s knee.
"Ah!!"
He suddenly screamed, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Gangzi, do you feel it?"
Yun Hong immediately asked.
Gangzi shook his head with difficulty, gritting his teeth, "I don’t feel anything. I screamed only because I’m afraid of needles."
"Alas!"
Everyone sighed, showing regretful expressions. Yun Hong’s gaze dimmed.
Yang Cheng pulled out the Silver Needle, then picked up a nearby hammer, weighing it in his hand, and smashed it hard on his knee.
"Ugh!"
Gangzi groaned, still shaking his head, "Still no... no feeling!"
Though he said he felt nothing, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
Yang Cheng’s lips curved into a mischievous smile, feigning helplessness, "Then I’ll have to hit harder. If your knee gets smashed, don’t fear; with my medical skills, I can fix it."
Seeing this, hearing his words, everyone gasped.
"Oh my God! This looks terrifying!"
"Yeah, never seen such a strange treatment method, can he still stand if his knee is smashed?"
"Rest assured, though Da Shan’s parents coughed up so much blood earlier, didn’t they recover? Little Divine Doctor’s ways might be odd, but they work!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, sincerely admiring Yang Cheng, without a hint of doubt.
