"Let me take a look." A clear female voice rang out, silencing the noisy crowd for a moment.
An Ge looked in the direction of the sound and saw a frail woman dressed in white walking out of the crowd. It was none other than Liu Tingxue.
As Old Lady Wang was arguing with the onlookers, she turned around and saw a beautiful and delicate woman appear.
"Go away, you brat, don't cause trouble."
"Mother, let this little sister take a look. Ouch, little sister, it hurts so much!" Wang Ergou's eyes widened, and he even forgot about the pain for a moment.
Old Mrs. Wang cursed under her breath, calling her a "vixen," but unable to dissuade her son, she had no choice but to agree. In her mind, this woman, who didn't look like a doctor at all, must have taken a fancy to her son, Er Gouzi.
Seeing that the woman was well-dressed, the two old ladies' eyes lit up. If the woman came from a good family, they would reluctantly agree to let her into the house.
An Ge looked at Wang Ergou's lecherous eyes and became somewhat anxious. Although Hu Jiu had said that Liu Tingxue was not easily bullied, her appearance was too deceptive. If Hu Jiu hadn't been holding her back, she would have already beaten Wang Ergou up.
“Miss, this person’s injuries are too severe. You must not act rashly unless you are certain of your safety,” Yang Shouxin quickly advised, partly because he couldn’t bear to see this vulnerable woman being taken advantage of, and partly because it was a diagnosis based on her condition.
In her view, the woman was too young, and even if she had studied medicine, it was only superficial.
Liu Tingxue glanced at Yang Shouxin and smiled, "My family has been practicing medicine for generations, so I am confident in my medical skills."
After saying that, he squatted down and took out the tools he always carried with him.
Wang Ergou was still hoping that Liu Tingxue would touch his body. Although he had no feeling in his lower body, it didn't stop him from enjoying it.
Just as he was immersed in the wonderful fantasy of being caressed by a beauty, he saw Liu Tingxue take out a row of silver needles and, before he could react, quickly and easily stuck the needles into his legs.
"Ouch, it hurts so much! Mom, she's trying to hurt me, it hurts so much!"
"What do you want to do to my son, you bitch?" Old Mrs. Wang looked fierce, wishing she could fight Liu Tingxue to the death.
Liu Tingxue slowly withdrew the silver needles, her posture even somewhat elegant. "What's the rush? He's regained consciousness, isn't he? Let him walk around and see."
Everyone then realized, "That's right, the doctor just diagnosed him as having no feeling below his waist. Now that he's feeling pain, it means it's working!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Niang, who had been in a daze, forced a bitter smile before falling silent again.
"I can walk now, haha, I knew I'd be alright." Wang Ergou took a few steps and laughed triumphantly.
Grandma Wang ignored Liu Tingxue and hugged Wang Ergou, crying and laughing at the same time.
Yang Shouxin was somewhat surprised. He considered himself a skilled physician, but this woman, who looked no more than twenty, had cured someone with just a few acupuncture needles. He had previously called Yang Yi a frog in a well, but now it seemed he himself was no different.
Are medical skills outside really that advanced? Yang Shouxin couldn't help but doubt himself.
Seeing that Wang Ergou had been cured, the crowd felt a mix of emotions. After hearing Wang Dashi's words, they felt an intense aversion to Wang Ergou. However, the people of this era were still quite simple and honest, unlike many in their previous lives who would love someone so much they would die for them, or hate someone so much they would wish them dead.
Seeing her son recover, Old Mrs. Wang's gaze towards Liu Tingxue softened considerably. "I knew this young lady was quite skilled; thank you so much. Those so-called 'Medical Valleys' are all scams. By the way, where do you live, young lady? How many people live with you?"
Yang Shouxin was considered a fraudster...
Liu Tingxue packed her things and said softly, "Actually, you don't need to thank me so soon, because I didn't intend to cure him." She then smiled sweetly.
Old Mrs. Wang had a bad feeling when she saw that smile. "Young lady, you're joking. My son is all better now."
“No,” Liu Tingxue said playfully, but her words were chilling, “He’s about to pass away.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wang Ergou's painful cry rang out, "It hurts so much!"
Old Mrs. Wang was startled and anxiously supported Wang Ergou, glaring angrily at Liu Tingxue, "You bitch, if anything happens to my Ergou, I will never forgive you."
Liu Tingxue said indifferently, "He was a cripple to begin with, what does it have to do with me? Oh right, if you hate me, you might have a reason, since your son is really beyond saving now."
Yang Shouxin's expression changed, and before Old Lady Wang could react, he quickly examined her. After looking at her, he was somewhat alarmed.
If there was even a glimmer of hope at the beginning, after a few injections, there was absolutely no hope left. Just as she said, even a god is hard to find.
Yang Shouxin gasped. The ability to find the root cause of the illness and restore the patient instantly, as well as to cripple the patient swiftly and ruthlessly, was something even the Valley Master of the Medical Valley could not do.
"Since you were able to cure him, why did you make him even worse?" Yang Shouxin clearly did not approve of Liu Tingxue's behavior.
"Don't you think it's interesting that someone like that goes from hell to heaven and then back to hell?" The playful voice spoke words that sounded like those of a demon.
"Whoosh—" As soon as Liu Tingxue finished speaking, the people who had been surrounding her scattered instantly.
Only Hu Jiu remained calm; the senior sister of the Xinglin Sect he knew was never a kind person.
An Ge stared in disbelief at the somewhat sickly-looking Liu Tingxue, silently swallowing hard.
She was wrong. She shouldn't have judged people by their appearance. Liu Tingxue was not some gentle and kind older sister at all; she was clearly a devil with a kind face but a wicked heart.
"Liu Tingxue is still kind to kind people." Seeing An Ge's shock, Hu Jiu gave a dry explanation.
An Ge took a deep breath. "I know you said she still has principles. I don't blame her. In fact, I even approve of her behavior."
Even so, An Ge still felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing the seemingly weak woman suddenly change her expression.
Yang Shouxin frowned, clearly disapproving. "A doctor should have a benevolent heart. Since you have the ability to help others, why don't you lend a hand?"
Liu Tingxue rolled her eyes inelegantly. "I recently learned a new word called 'Holy Mother,' no, you should call her 'Holy Father.'"
Yang Shouxin didn't understand the meaning of the word, but he intuitively felt that it wasn't a good thing.
"You harmed my son, I will make you pay with your life." Old Mrs. Wang pulled out a knife from somewhere and stabbed directly at Liu Tingxue.
The crowd gasped in shock, and many closed their eyes, unable to bear watching this frail woman perish on the spot.
"Watch out!" Yang Shouxin rushed forward, trying to block the knife with his own body.
Liu Tingxue scoffed, "You really are a saint, huh? I just can't stand people like you." Without even looking up, she pulled Yang Shouxin aside and kicked Old Lady Wang away.
A deathly silence fell over the scene!
