Chapter 333 I don’t want anyone else to know about the treatment I gave you today
Old Liu looked at Lan Xiyue gratefully, his clear eyes filled with sincere gratitude. "Thank you! Thank you for helping me get back on my feet."
Lan Xiyue smiled calmly, "Okay, you can leave now. Let others come in to treat him."
Old Liu nodded repeatedly and walked slowly towards the dilapidated wooden door. The moment he opened the door, the people outside looked at him in shock. The body that once needed crutches to support was now standing steadily. Their eyes were all focused on Old Liu's right leg, with a mixture of confusion and surprise.
"Oh my God, Old Liu can stand steadily without a stick!" an old man said excitedly.
"Huh? Is this made of iron?" Someone couldn't help but step forward and knock on Lao Liu's right leg, making a crisp sound.
Everyone's confusion grew even more intense. They looked at Lan Xiyue inside the room, their hearts filled with puzzlement. They clearly didn't see anything in her hand just now, so where did Lao Liu's right leg come from?
Lan Xiyue's voice sounded at the right time, interrupting everyone's thoughts, "Next one, why haven't you come in yet?"
When everyone heard Lan Xiyue's voice, they realized that the next person was the old man Lan Xiyue met outside the disabled village when she first arrived. He slowly crawled in with his hands.
By the time the sun set, Lan Xiyue had treated more than a dozen people, installing prosthetic limbs for them and healing their old injuries. When she walked out of the thatched hut and stretched, she could not hide the fatigue on her face. She was so tired.
Zhang Wu's eyes sparkled, and he fell to his knees, his voice filled with endless gratitude and admiration. "Miss Lan, you are the god sent by heaven to save our disabled village!"
The other villagers knelt down and echoed Zhang Wu's words: "Yes, Miss Lan is the fairy sent by God to save our disabled village."
Lan Xiyue smiled gently, "Don't be like this. It's late today. I'll come back early tomorrow and continue to treat you."
Zhang Wu waved his big hand and shouted, "Everyone, go away! Miss Lan has been busy all afternoon and must be very tired. Let her eat something and have a good rest first."
Upon hearing this, the villagers dispersed and returned to their simple houses.
Chuchun came forward and said, "Miss, the food has been delivered a long time ago. Some women here and I have already cooked the porridge. Miss, are you hungry? Just have some wild vegetables and rice porridge."
Lan Xiyue looked around, her eyes settling on the healthy women and children in the distance. A hint of confusion crept into her heart. "I thought the Disabled Village was full of disabled people, but I didn't expect there were healthy people here too. Why? I didn't see any when I came here just now?" She asked with a hint of curiosity and confusion.
Chuchun heard this and a wry smile played on her lips. "Miss, those women and children are their family. They couldn't stand the strange looks from the villagers, so they followed my husband to the Disabled Village. They just went to the nearby area to look for wild vegetables and fruits. Some women went out to wash clothes to earn money, while others went out to beg and haven't returned yet. However, I heard from those women that some people in the Disabled Village have no family left, while others have been rejected by their families and driven out." Her tone was full of sympathy.
Lan Xiyue nodded, a flicker of understanding in her eyes. "Oh, I see!" After hearing what the system said, she really thought the Disabled Village was full of disabled people.
At that moment, Chu Xia ran over, her face filled with excitement and admiration. "Miss, you are so amazing! You can make people with broken legs stand up again. They all think you are a god sent by the gods to save them!"
Lan Xiyue smiled without saying a word, just quietly looking at the brand new table and chairs not far away. She slowly walked over and sat down.
An Yi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and walked over. "Master, I have followed your instructions and mobilized a group of secret guards to come and help. We used local materials and worked with the secret guards to cut down nearby bamboo and make simple tables and chairs. In addition, the secret guards also used trees to rebuild houses for the villagers. Although simple, they are much better than thatched huts."
Lan Xiyue nodded gently upon hearing this. "Well done, An Yi. Let them all rest for a while and eat something to fill their stomachs. These secret guards will stay in the disabled village tonight and continue building houses tomorrow morning."
An Yi responded and retreated.
With Lan Xiyue's arrival, even though she only treated a dozen villagers that afternoon, her hope was like a spring breeze, blowing away the gloom in the villagers' hearts. Their faces were filled with unprecedented smiles because they saw a turning point in their lives and hope for the future.
Lan Xiyue held a bowl of porridge made with wild vegetables and tasted it quietly. After she finished the bowl, she put down her chopsticks and did not eat any more.
"Let's go back and come back tomorrow morning." Lan Xiyue said softly, turned and walked out of the disabled village.
Early spring and early summer followed, and when the villagers of the Disabled Village learned that they were leaving, they came to see them off.
Lan Xiyue stopped and turned to look at the villagers. She smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late. I have to go back. I will come back to treat you tomorrow morning. Also, I don't want anyone else to know about my treatment for you today."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu said loudly: "Don't worry, Miss Lan, you are the god of our disabled village! From now on, the people in our disabled village will only listen to your orders, and whatever you say is what we do! Even if you ask us to go through fire and water, we will not refuse!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, full of firmness and determination.
The other villagers also echoed, and the voices were as surging as the tide, full of admiration and gratitude for Lan Xiyue. It seemed that Lan Xiyue had really become the god in their hearts, leading them towards light and hope.
Lan Xiyue nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes. Although she didn't want them to go through fire and water, she had exposed a lot today. She had given them so many prosthetic limbs for no reason. They must be curious. It would be bad if someone with ulterior motives made a big fuss about it. However, the human heart cannot be said too absolutely. Even if someone made a big fuss about it, she, Lan Xiyue, is not afraid.
After leaving the disabled village, Lan Xiyue got on a carriage beside her, followed closely by Chuchun and Chuxia. When An Yi saw that they were seated firmly, he gently whipped the horse-drawn carriage, and the carriage slowly drove away in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Inside the carriage, the chirping of early spring and early summer birds was as clear and melodious as the song of birds in spring. They talked about the details of the disabled village, their words full of sympathy and compassion for the villagers.
Lan Xiyue curled up the corner of her mouth into a faint smile. The two girls were well-behaved today and did not ask about the source of the prosthesis.
