The old man didn't look like a villager; his demeanor was genuine, and he had a faint medicinal fragrance about him. If Su Nanxi wasn't mistaken, the man was a doctor!

Oh, there's a child behind the old man. He doesn't look very old either, probably around the same age as Mo Jiaxing. He must be the old man's apprentice!

Su Nanxi had no idea why these two people had come to the Mo family. No one in her family was sick, so they were definitely not invited by anyone. Could they be passing by, hungry and thirsty, asking for some food and drink?

It's not impossible!

However, there's no need to come all the way here. There are so many houses at the village entrance; you could just go to any one of them. The villagers are quite hospitable!

Mo Qinghe also had doubts. He became more vigilant, set up a cordon, and his eyes were full of suspicion!

The old man wasn't blind; he naturally noticed the change in the two men. Instead of getting angry, he asked kindly, "Is this the Mo family's residence?"

Su Nanxi nodded. "Yes! This is the Mo family home, but I don't know you. May I ask what brings you here?"

If there's nothing else, then she should close the door!

Su Nanxi's tone wasn't particularly enthusiastic, but it wasn't cold either; she was just speaking in a very ordinary way.

The old man smiled and said, “We’re from out of town, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize us. Here’s the thing: we heard that someone in the Mo family had a leg injury that prevented them from walking for many years, but they recovered after taking medicine. We wanted to come and see if it was true. I have a brother who also has a leg injury and hasn’t been able to walk for many years. When I heard that, I felt it was a glimmer of hope, so I came all this way to find him. I wanted to see if we could find a way to cure him too! We’ve come here so abruptly; we’re sorry for our intrusion! Please forgive us!”

Su Nanxi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

Seeing how happy the old man was, he must have come full of hope. When he heard that this was the Mo family, his eyes lit up instantly, and he spoke very cautiously.

Yeah, she was so happy she could barely speak!

His hands even trembled slightly!

She understood how that felt, so she didn't dwell on it.

But the news about Mo Qinghe has spread far and wide!

People from other places already know about this. Sigh, you really can't underestimate the power of gossip from these people!

She thought only people in the neighborhood knew about it!

People went to great lengths to come and find out what was going on!

However, Mo Qinghe's legs have indeed recovered, but not as those people said; he didn't take any medicine!

Moreover, there are countless reasons for illness, and even for the same reason, the medication may be different. Don't be too happy too soon. Not everyone with leg problems can stand up again. If there is no hope by then, it will be very painful!

It would be very difficult for me to accept!

Su Nanxi didn't dare look into the old man's eyes again. She still didn't want to give him too much hope, and cruelly told him, "It is true that there is such a thing, but our condition is not very serious. Our legs and feet are not injured, so we can slowly get better. There are many reasons why legs and feet are not good, and our situation may not be suitable for your brother."

The old man was clearly disappointed for a moment, but he quickly recovered, probably because he didn't want to give up so easily.

Standing at the door wasn't going to solve anything, and Su Nanxi was wondering whether she should go back inside to talk when Old Madam Mo came out.

Grandma Mo was still worried and hesitated for a while, but decided it would be better to go out and check!

When she came out and saw people blocking the door, she was a little puzzled. "Su Su, who is it?"

Upon closer inspection, he realized he didn't recognize her, so he asked Su Nanxi.

Su Nanxi gave a brief explanation, and Grandma Mo said that they should come in first to talk, as they couldn't speak outside.

So they invited the person in.

Su Nanxi could understand Old Lady Mo's feelings. When Mo Qinghe was not well, Old Lady Mo had gone through the same thing and could understand that kind of pain. Therefore, she felt some sympathy and pity for the old woman.

Since everyone had been asked to leave, she couldn't say much more.

The others were also taken aback when they saw two unfamiliar people come in. They thought that Li Yunmei had secretly run back because she was unwilling to give up, but that wasn't the case!

After hearing their purpose, they understood; it turned out they had come because of a problem with their legs.

They didn't hide anything and told everything they knew, but they found that there wasn't much more to say. Looking back, they weren't really sure how Mo Qinghe had recovered!

They themselves didn't know much about it, and Su Nanxi had been taking care of them the whole time, so Su Nanxi was the one who had the most say.

However, Su Nanxi would never reveal the truth; she only mentioned the less crucial points.

Is the matter of the spirit spring true?

Will anyone believe me if I tell them?

Okay, even if some people believe it, why would she expose herself and create such a huge hidden danger for herself? Does she want to die even faster?

She understood the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime!

That was her secret, and she wouldn't easily tell anyone.

However, she could talk about the medicinal bath, since Old Madam Mo had mentioned it, and if she didn't, it would seem like she was hiding something.

The old man seemed to believe it or not; he lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful, and nodded occasionally. He appeared to believe to some extent, but not entirely.

Believe it or not, Su Nanxi didn't care. They were complete strangers with no connection whatsoever, so it was already quite generous of her to say so much.

When the old man asked where she usually went to see a doctor, Su Nanxi gave a vague answer that she went to the town.

When asked how long she had been taking the medicine, Su Nanxi vaguely replied that she had been taking it for a long time. It was prescribed by the doctor, but she didn't know what kind of medicine it was; she just took it as soon as she got it.

The old man asked very detailed questions, and he felt that there was still something important that hadn't been said. Finally, he asked again, "Have you done any acupuncture or massage for Young Master Mo?"

Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. Wow, she guessed right, didn't she? This person must be a doctor, otherwise how would he know so much!

The person next to him must be his apprentice, or perhaps his medicine boy or something similar—no doubt about it!

It's probably true that his brother is injured and can't walk, but Su Nanxi feels that the old man isn't entirely there for his brother's leg; at least half of his purpose is medical!

I've heard that some people are so passionate about their jobs that they want to tackle those problems they've never been able to solve. They feel a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from taking on such challenges!

This old man is most likely like that!

That's not wrong, and Su Nanxi didn't say anything. It's his business what he insists on doing, and he doesn't judge others' right or wrong!

Perhaps it's a good thing, improving medical skills and saving more lives!

"Yes, we may have had the massage you mentioned. Acupuncture is not something ordinary people like us can afford, so we haven't had acupuncture done! I don't know anything about massage either, I just pressed a little to help my husband relax. If you call this massage, then I really did have a massage."

"Young lady, have you really never studied medicine?"
