Granny Zhang's words could be described as sharp and an, because Liu Zixuan, the official doctor, ca and disrupted her chance to show off, which developed so hostility towards him.
The beautiful village chief, Liu Ruyan, couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward saying, "Granny Zhang, it's rare to have a doctor here now, why not give it a try, even if it's just treating a dead horse as if it's alive!"
Now, Liu Ruyan had placed all her hopes on Liu Zixuan because previous doctors ca one after another but left without success, leaving her unable to bear the pressure, and no doctors were willing to co.
Now that Liu Zixuan arrived uninvited, she felt that perhaps it was heaven lending her a hand.
Granny Zhang said coldly, "I'll give face to your chief and let him treat, but we must co to an agreent first!"
"This..."
Liu Ruyan frowned, unsure of what to do.
But Liu Zixuan just smiled and said, "Three agreents, ten agreents, it's fine. Go ahead."
"Don't get too cocky, kid."
Granny Zhang glared fiercely at Liu Zixuan and said, "If that man dies at your hands, not only will you stay in the village, but you must also work for us every day until you die."
"Is that all?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Exactly! But that work includes a lot of things." Granny Zhang said with a deeper aning, considering the village has ninety-nine won, discounting children and the elderly, there were thirty to forty young won. Because no n dared to co to the village, there were so who were quite desperate.
Liu Zixuan laughed and said, "I agree!"
"You!" Liu Ruyan widened her beautiful eyes, wanting to speak but hesitated; she didn't understand why Liu Zixuan was so confident!
Liu Zixuan shook his head at her, then turned to Granny Zhang: "But what if I heal him?"
"If you heal him, you'll be our village's honored guest. Seeing you're young, you probably don't have a wife yet. If you really heal him, I, this old woman, will make the decision for you to choose any woman in the village to be your wife." Granny Zhang said.
"Deal!" Liu Zixuan instantly nodded and agreed, then turned to Liu Ruyan: "Go prepare the wooden tub and hot water."
"Okay." Liu Ruyan went to prepare it.
Once everything was ready, Liu Zixuan helped the man into a room and said to the others, "I'll be going in to treat him now. You guys wait outside."
"I want to go in and watch." Granny Zhang stepped forward.
"No way." Liu Zixuan imdiately refused: "My dical skill cannot be seen by outsiders, and there's also a matter of gender difference."
"I'm an old woman and don't fear such things." Granny Zhang insisted on going in.
Liu Zixuan showed a trace of anger: "I said, you can't go in!"
Just as Granny Zhang was about to retort, she suddenly looked up and saw a hint of coldness erging in Liu Zixuan's deep, bottomless eyes. The sight of his gaze also made her feel a bit of fear, with a chill running down her back.
She shrank back and said, "Fine, we'll just wait outside and see how you save him!"
Liu Zixuan went inside and locked the door behind him. Looking at the man lying on the bed, he smirked: "You better pull through for , my lifelong matters are in your hands now!"
After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, lifted the man and stripped off his clothes, then placed him into a wooden tub filled with hot water.
He casually took out a black elixir and shoved it into the man's mouth, then took out the silver needle to begin acupuncture on the acupuncture points.
...
Outside the door...
"Do you think he can cure that man?" Two won whispered with Granny Zhang.
"I think it's unlikely. Granny Zhang is a shaman, and even she couldn't cure it. I'm afraid no one in this world could cure it!"
"I was thinking of waiting until that man wakes up and spends a night with him."
Hearing their conversation, Granny Zhang coughed and said, "You two stay quiet. If you're looking for n, I'll have my relatives get you a couple secretly, to satisfy you."
The two won were delighted at Granny Zhang's words but still said, "Granny Zhang, I feel it's still better if he's cured. With this doctor here, we won't fear n coming to the village and bringing diseases."
"Could a kid who hasn't even grown hair cure him?" Granny Zhang sneered, thinking to herself: As if he could cure it, it's not a disease but poison I personally administered.
Liu Ruyan was pacing at the door, worried and anxious, feeling that ti was moving very slowly. She wanted to rush in and ask what was going on.
Seeing her anxiety, Doudou's mom ca over to comfort her, "Ruyan, wait a little longer. I think that young man is quite calm and stable, likely different from those fraudulent doctors before."
"Big brother is very capable."
Little Doudou pouted and said with a cute smile: "I was bitten by a little snake when bad people bullied in the forest. Later, it was big brother who helped with the detox."
"You were bitten by a snake? Where were you bitten?" Upon hearing this, Doudou's mom reacted with concern.
Doudou obediently said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine now. Big brother's dical skill is great; I didn't even feel any pain."
"Where exactly were you bitten? Let see." Doudou's mom was still slightly worried.
"I was bitten... on my little bum..." Doudou said, blushing.
Hearing this, both Doudou's mom and Liu Ruyan blushed. What if they got bitten there and needed Liu Zixuan to treat them...
This made the atmosphere a bit awkward.
"It's been over half an hour already. I think it doesn't look good." Granny Zhang sneered, looking at the ti: "Chief, it seems you've misjudged again this ti."
Creaaak…
The door opened, and Liu Zixuan ca out, noticing everyone's gaze on him. He shook his head slightly and sighed.
Liu Ruyan and Doudou's mom lowered their heads, appearing as if the treatnt had failed.
"I told you so, could a young and naive kid really cure soone? What a joke!" Granny Zhang looked at this situation and a hint of triumph grew on her face, her words full of contempt.
"Is he… dead?" Liu Ruyan struggled to get the words out.
"Dead?" Liu Zixuan shook his head: "King Yama would have to ask first before taking his soul. Could he be dead?"
"If he's not dead, then why did you sigh?" Liu Ruyan hastily asked.
Liu Zixuan gave Liu Ruyan a strange look but before he could reply, Granny Zhang spoke, "Probably won't live long either."
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrow slightly, eyes filled with coldness as he looked at Granny Zhang: "Your mouth is really quite annoying!"
"I'm just speaking the truth." Granny Zhang looked at Liu Ruyan: "Now that he killed the last man, you as the chief should know what to do!"
It's just that… during their argunt, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
