Zhao Hengshui's gaze immediately changed, and Lin Man hurriedly explained, "Don't look at me like that. I'm not here to steal your medicine. Actually, I have a paralyzed relative, so I want to know how you use the medicine. Do you use any psychics to assist? How do you do that? Of course, if you tell me all this, I can trade with you. Do you still need some sweet potatoes?"
Half an hour later, the aroma of sweet potatoes wafted from the pot in the Zhao family's house. Because the doors and windows were closed, it didn't waft outside. The Zhao family, who were already asleep or pretending to be asleep, gathered in the main room, each chewing a sweet potato with sweet potato soup in their bowls.
A few sticks of firewood burned in a clay pot, the flames dimly lighting up a small area. Lin Man looked at the Zhao family, who were starving after not seeing them for a few days and were now wolfing down their food. He was surprised: "Have you not eaten in the past few days?"
Zhao Hengshui smiled bitterly. "People like us are always living hand to mouth. Last time, to get that linen, I had to take everything out of the house, but I ended up with the linen hanging around. Later, to exchange for medicine, we only kept a few of your sweet potatoes and gave the rest to Lu Youjie. Plus, these past few days are a critical period for my mother's recovery, and Lu Youjie has someone watching outside, so we don't dare go out either."
Fortunately, there were still a few sweet potatoes to fill my stomach.
Lin Man looked at Zhao's mother who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair: "It seems that she has recovered well."
Just now, while waiting for the sweet potatoes to cook, Zhao's mother had stood up and walked a few steps for her to see, but she could only walk a few steps - she had only been taking medicine for a few days, and it was said that she could not stand up at all before.
Mother Zhao put down the sweet potato and wanted to talk to Lin Man. Lin Man said, "Just keep eating and talk to me while you eat."
Mother Zhao smiled but put down the sweet potato. "You want to know how to use superpowers to assist? This nerve repair medicine is very effective, but it's also very overbearing. The repair process is quite painful. Superpowers can relieve pain, enhance the efficacy of the medicine, strengthen the body, and promote recovery... But our superpowers are called healing superpowers. They are completely different from the overbearing superpowers of other superpowers. They are very beneficial to the body. They are like gentle flowing water, enveloping the areas that need repair and treatment."
Lin Man listened in deep thought, like flowing water...wrapping...
"Can you try it on me?"
Zhao's mother said, "You have no injuries."
This is easy. Lin Man took out a hard iron spike that she had sharpened to a very sharp point and poked it on her fingertip. Blood immediately oozed out: "Now I have it."
Mother Zhao glanced at her, stretched out her hand and loosely held her fingers. Lin Man felt something that seemed warm and cool covering her fingers, and the pain suddenly disappeared. After a while, Mother Zhao withdrew her hand, and the wound on Lin Man's fingertips had disappeared, leaving only a little blood stain.
This is amazing.
Lin Man asked Guan Guan: "Guan Guan Guan Guan, did you see what she did?"
Guan Guan hesitated a little: "There is a spiritual energy from her hand to your fingers."
"that's all?"
"Yeah." Guan Guan muttered, "If it were that simple, wouldn't I be able to heal injuries too? Those immortals can heal people so easily, without any need for chanting spells or performing any magic tricks."
Lin Man heard this and said, "Come to think of it, Guan Guan, weren't you a fairy bird in the past? Don't you know any magic to heal people?"
Guan Guan hummed softly, "I'm just a bird that hasn't transformed into a human form yet. It's good enough that I know how to draw a contract and form a spiritual seal!"
Okay, Lin Man accepted this explanation.
Mother Zhao continued, "There's another possibility. This paralyzed patient might also have other critical health issues, like dislocated bones, unhealed fractures, or a blood clot compressing the brain... In short, there are many situations where this medicine wouldn't be effective. Therefore, a psychic therapist is needed to heal any injuries beyond the nerves first."
Lin Man was shocked. His mother had fallen before she became paralyzed. Since she had no conditions to see a doctor, he had no idea what was going on.
Lin Man asked: "Then how can you tell if a person has other problems?"
Zhao's mother said, "Let your superpowers be your eyes, and they will tell you everything." Then she added, "This is the gift of healing people with superpowers."
Lin Man wanted to scratch her head. This was too mysterious. She looked at her hands, placed them on her knees, and released her spiritual power. She couldn't "see" what was happening inside her knees! She just felt a warm and comfortable feeling.
Lin Man's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps, this kind of warmth was a kind of therapy in itself?
After thinking about it, she told Zhao's mother about Mother Lin's situation.
"You said the patient had fallen before becoming paralyzed, but even before the fall, his legs were already weak, making it difficult for him to get up, and he always had pain in his lower back."
Mother Zhao thought for a while. "As a healing psychic, I've seen many patients before, so I suspect the man you're talking about initially suffered from weakness and overwork. People who do physical labor for long periods of time will suffer severe back strain, and intervertebral discs..." Seeing Lin Man's bewilderment, she changed her words. "There must be nerve problems, causing some problems with the waist and legs. He later fell and became completely paralyzed, which must have caused severe nerve damage, but it's hard to say whether there was any bone displacement or nerve compression."
Lin Man listened in silence, and finally asked to take a look at the nerve repair medicine. It was a soft yellow capsule. At first glance, Lin Man thought it was no different from the cod liver oil his mother took, but when he looked closely, he could see that it was different.
This one is lighter in color and softer, and there seem to be some sparkling things in the liquid inside the capsule.
She asked how to distinguish genuine from fake medicine, gave the bag of sweet potatoes she brought to the Zhao family, and left the Zhao family.
So to cure my mother, she needs nerve repair medicine, at least one course of treatment, at most two courses of treatment, and a healing psychic.
She pushed her big hat down and pricked her finger with the iron spike. Spiritual power flowed out of her right palm and wrapped around her finger. However, the wound did not heal. The feeling of being enveloped by spiritual energy was similar to that at the Zhao family, but it was obvious that her spiritual power had no healing effect.
Suddenly she stopped and quickly slipped into the side path.
Two people ran over and pointed at the intersection where she left: "That way."
There were a lot of small alleys and paths in the Nanming base because the residential areas were so densely packed. Just the intersection where Lin Man ran in branched off into three more paths. The two of them split up, but after they left, in the darkness—
"Lin Man, they're gone."
The next moment, Lin Man came out of the space with a serious expression.
Sure enough, he was being targeted. Is he Lu Youjie's man?
"Lin Man, they are back!" Guan Guan shouted again, and Lin Man hurried into the space again.
It turned out that one of the two people thought something was wrong and came back, but after looking around, he didn't find anyone and finally left.
Lin Man hid in the space and did not go out for a while. Now she couldn't leave the base late at night, and wandering around would attract more attention, so she decided to stay in the space for a while.
"Lin Man, what should we do now?"
"I don't know either." Suddenly her face changed, and she left the space and rushed to the Zhao family. However, she was one step too late. The Zhao family had already been controlled by someone.
"Lin Man, there are so many people inside!"
"I know." There were two people in the Zhao family's courtyard, and no one knew what was going on in the house.
"Guan Guan, can you tell me the specific situation in the house?" Ever since Guan Guan absorbed so much spiritual power, his ability to perceive the outside world has become stronger.
"I'll try." After a while, the guard said, "There are two people in the room. One is Lu Youjie, one is the one with the hammer during the day, and the other one is unknown. They have arrested the Zhao family and are forcing them to reveal information about you... Well, the Zhao family hasn't given you up yet."
Lin Man was not happy, as she did not want to drag the Zhao family into this matter. Although the Zhao family, as the middleman, had already been involved, she still felt bad that they would face disaster just because she went to find them tonight.
And once the Zhao family gives her up, Lu Youjie will come looking for her immediately.
"Ah, Lin Man, they are going to kill someone!"
"Kill who?"
"That kid from the Zhao family, that hammer sliced his arm open!"
Before Guan Guan finished speaking, Lin Man heard the crying of children and the roar of adults. The sound insulation in this house was not very good, and the sound traveled quite far. None of the residents around came out to see what was going on.
Lin Man gritted his teeth, squatted in the shadows, looked at the Zhao family's yard opposite, took out a handful of polished iron spikes from the space, and sent them out with his mental power, allowing them to sneak close to the ground.
"Guan Guan, where on the person's body should we strike to make them faint or lose their ability to move?"
"I don't know. Haven't you been studying this recently?"
"But I haven't figured anything out yet! Forget it, let's give it our all!"
Lin Man clenched his hands, his palms were full of sticky sweat, and ten iron spikes came to the two men silently. Lin Man was so tense that every iron spike was ready to go.
Then, suddenly start!
Four of them shot at the two men's eyes, two by two. The two men were very alert and reacted immediately when they found the danger. They moved very sharply and decisively to knock the iron spikes down. However, this sudden change attracted their attention to the sneak attack on their eyes, so no one noticed that there were six more iron spikes shamelessly attacking their eyes.
The next moment, two screams like those of a pig being slaughtered exploded in the Zhao family yard, reaching the sky. Even Lin Man, the instigator, was shocked and trembled.
Listen, it sounds so miserable. Zheng Gang was right. That place is indeed a man's biggest weakness. If the iron spike was stabbed in another place, he wouldn't scream so miserably, right?
Lin Man thought to himself, but rushed forward without slowing down at all.
A man rushed out of the room and asked, "What's going on!" He was holding a golden cone-shaped hammer in his hand and confronted Lin Man head-on.
Without thinking, Lin Man spilled the things he had prepared in his hand.
