Chapter 92: Brilliant Medical Skills
The entire village was gathered around the old well at the entrance of the village. A large fire was lit. While resisting the cold of early spring, they calmed down the panic brought by the earthquake. In the end, they heard wild shrieks and howls coming from the Ding Family’s new residence.
“Ah—”
“Ah—”
“Ah—ah—ahhh—”
The entire village: “…”
“I won’t be able to perform acupuncture if you continue to scream,” Yu Wan said as she put down the long needle that was half-baked by the fire.
Uncle Wan shut up.
Yu Wan roasted the needle again, and Uncle Wan prepared to scream again.
Yu Wan said without thinking, “Drag him out!” She was especially heartless when she treated illnesses!
Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen received their Young Master’s signal and dragged Uncle Wan out. To be honest, it wasn’t Uncle Wan’s fault for screaming. Even their legs went weak from such a terrifying long needle! The two of them looked at their Young Master sympathetically. You brought this upon yourself. Good luck!
The three of them went out.
The village headman opened his mouth but hesitated. Although he never knew that Ah Wan knew how to treat people, Young Master Wan was Ah Wan’s savior. Ah Wan would never joke about Young Master Wan’s life. She must have done it because she was confident. With this thought, the village headman was relieved. He did not expose the fact that Ah Wan was actually a vet and followed the three of them out.
After everyone left, only Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao were left in the room.
Yu Wan roasted the long needle in her hand until it was red on the candlelight and said indifferently, “It’s fine even if you cry out when you’re in pain later. You don’t have to hold on.”
Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?” Without waiting for Yu Wan to speak, he stared straight at her face and smiled evilly. “No matter how many times I cry out tonight, I’ll make you cry out twice as much.”
Why does this sound a little strange…
Yu Wan walked to the bed and looked down at him. “You can’t even protect yourself. How are you still thinking of torturing me? Heal your legs first if you have the ability!”
With that, she restored his dislocated right leg with lightning speed.
Yan Jiuchao let out a muffled groan as beads of sweat fell.
Dislocation and resetting were both very painful. This fellow actually held back his screams. It seemed that her technique was too good!
Young Master Yan, who was in so much pain that he was cramping, was speechless. Was this girl treating humans or pigs? She was so heavy-handed!
Everything was going so smoothly that there was no need for a long needle. She had originally planned to knock him out with a needle if he was too noisy.
Yu Wan packed her things. “You’ve eaten and your illness is treated. Uncle Wan, Shadow Six, and Shadow Thirteen are all awake. I’m not needed anymore. Goodbye!”
Yan Jiuchao did not cause any more trouble, and Yu Wan successfully left the house.
However, the moment she crossed the threshold, a light voice came from behind her. “One sound.”
Yu Wan did not react. Even if she did, she would not take it to heart. She rolled her eyes and went home with her medical tools.
On the other hand, the village headman was worried. He entered the room and took a few more glances at “Young Master Wan”. After confirming that “Young Master Wan’s” legs had regained their feeling, he put his heart back into his stomach. “Aiya, on the first day Young Master Wan moved here, you encountered Ao Yu turning over. Really…”
Yan Jiuchao corrected him. “It’s not Ao Yu turning over, it’s an earthquake.”
… .
After dawn, the villagers who did not wait for the subsequent movements gradually felt relieved. They left the old well one by one and returned to their houses.
Zhao Heng said earnestly, “Everyone, don’t go back to your houses first. The book said that Ao Yu might turn around again…”
Before he could finish speaking, Aunt Bai interrupted him coldly. “It’s not Ao Yu turning over! It’s an earthquake! You’re a scholar, why don’t you even know about an earthquake? Ao Yu turning over? What are you even studying?! Where is the Ao fish in the ground?!”
Zhao Heng was dumbfounded. That was what he said last night!
… .
In ancient times, information was not developed. Yu Wan did not know where the epicenter of the earthquake was this time, but the aftershock was usually not stronger than an earthquake. There was no need to be afraid if it was slightly weaker than last night.
Although they did not suffer any major property losses or casualties, the pheasants in the chicken coop were greatly frightened so they did not want to lay eggs today or in the next two days!
When Yu Wan returned home, it was almost dawn. She washed up and went to bed, but not long after, she was woken up by a furry warmth. She opened her eyes and saw three cute little lads rubbing their heads against her chest.
The sunlight shone through the window paper and onto the heads of the little fellows, making their soft hair shine.
Yu Wan felt her heart light up as well. She could not help but smile. “Morning.”
The little fellows, who did not intend to wake Yu Wan up, seemed to have been caught red-handed. Their eyes widened and they were stunned.
Yu Wan laughed. When she saw these little fellows early in the morning, even her mood became especially good. She did not understand. How could such a man who deserved a beating give birth to such cute children?
Soon, Yu Wan realized that the three of them were holding a piece of paper in their hands. “What are you holding?”
The three of them handed the white paper to Yu Wan.
There were three big words again, but it wasn’t “Ren, Zhi, Dao”. It was “Sheng (living), Mu (wood), Kou (mouth)”.
It was still crooked, but it was smoother than yesterday. Did these little fellows think that she “made up” with them yesterday because she saw that they could write?
Therefore, children’s mindsets were still different from adults. She thought that she had expressed it clearly enough, but who knew that in their eyes, they still felt that her liking them had a price.
Yu Wan did not know what to say for a moment. Perhaps, as time passed, they would believe that she liked them because of them and had nothing to do with what they knew or did not know.
“Don’t practice calligraphy anymore,” Yu Wan said softly.
Such a young child practicing calligraphy was not good for the development of the bones, spine, and eyes.
