Mountain and River Festival

Chapter 35 Treatment
Shen Tang had a premonition that the treatment might be more wonderful than the original examination, so he wanted to kick Dugu Qingli out and stop him from being watched endlessly.

that's the truth.

During the examination, it is nothing more than pinching the muscles and feeling the tendons to determine the situation, while treatment requires relaxing the tendons first.

Because the tendon is broken, the two ends need to be put together before we can consider reconnecting it, which is the same principle as bone setting.

No one can see where the broken tendons are with the naked eye, so one needs to feel them with their hands, and use spiritual energy to smooth them out bit by bit.

Shen Tang watched as Lu Xingzhou reached out his hand, lifted her skirt to her thighs, grabbed her ankles, and gently stroked upwards along the tendons of her feet.

If you don't find the right position the first time, you have to try again and rub it repeatedly.

This time, let alone his face, his whole body was red, even though Shen Tang didn't actually feel anything.

She had no feeling, but Lu Xingzhou did. The feeling of touching her all the way was simply indescribable.

Her shoes were taken off, leaving only a pair of white socks, which made her feet look even more beautiful and delicate. Some games require her to wear them like this, which is really tempting.

No one knew that Lu Xingzhou was not a pure virgin. He had two girlfriends in his previous life, but they broke up...

It's true that I haven't tasted sex for nineteen years, especially since I spent every day with the stunningly beautiful Yuan Muyu. Being able to look but not touch was even more difficult. Yuan Muyu initially played the role of a little sly woman, teasing him with a sweet smile, nudging him and making him smell sweet. Yuan Muyu assumed he was a teenager at the time, teasing him for fun. But who knows what lies beneath that shell is the soul of an adult. It's a real pain.

In other words, Lord Yan Jun had actually been taking advantage of an adult for several years without even knowing it... Lu Xingzhou was not as gentlemanly as he appeared to be, and he would not take advantage of anyone if he was offered the favor.

But no matter how much he takes advantage of her, he would never go to the extent of lifting her skirt and touching her legs... Shen Tang's feet are not as beautiful as his two girlfriends combined, and the feel of them is even more different... This thing is not only based on natural talent, but practice can also improve the skin, and the real jade bones and ice skin are an advantage that cannot be found in the world.

Lu Xingzhou, who had been holding it in for nineteen years, really couldn't bear it anymore. His heart was swinging like a swing.

I subconsciously touched it a few more times with my hands, and when I reacted, I secretly despised myself. After all, this was a treatment, and I really shouldn't be distracted... So I calmed down and pushed up carefully along the tendon.

Shen Tang had been leaning against the headboard, looking at his profile. Although she didn't feel any extra touching, she seemed to be able to see the change of his mind at that moment from his slightly red face, and she spat secretly.

Did you take advantage of the opportunity to touch her a few more times? But asking this question would only make everyone embarrassed, so Shen Tang had to hold it in. Fortunately, he was not a mean person, and he soon returned to normal.

Shen Tang sighed softly. Men...

He also made no secret of his love for Qingli.

I thought you had no feelings for me, but you're still a bit of a pervert.

Shen Tang's mind gradually wandered. He liked Qingli... which was fine actually. At least now was not the time for him to think about men and women, and his status was not suitable... But why did he always feel a little jealous when he saw his attitude towards Qingli?

If Qingli was really his subordinate, then it would be nice to have him as a matchmaker. At least he wouldn't always be thinking about leaving... But Qingli was not a subordinate.

I don't really want to tie this red string.

Just as his mind was wandering, he felt a faint tingling sensation below his left knee. Shen Tang was caught off guard and subconsciously made a "hmm~" sound.

The sound was so soul-stirring that Lu Xingzhou's hand slipped and touched above his knee.

It is even softer than fat.

The "hmm" sound became more frequent, and there were also more gasps: "You...you..."

Lu Xingzhou quickly withdrew his hand and said nonchalantly, "An accident."

"You..." Shen Tang couldn't tell whether this was an accident or intentional, so he could only pretend that nothing happened and said while biting his lower lip, "Be gentle..."

Lu Xingzhou: “…”

Outside the door, Dugu Qingli stood there expressionlessly. A little head leaned against the door, listening. Upon hearing this, his eyebrows danced with joy: "Sister Qingli, don't you want to listen?"

Dugu Qingli: "...I don't need to stick to the door to hear it, and the same goes for you."

Ah Nuo asked, "Do you think I'm going to have a master's wife soon?"

Dugu Qingli said, "No one likes having a stepmother... You even kept staring at me for taking your wheelchair space once, yet you don't care about your master finding a stepmother?"

Ah Nuo was shocked: "You actually know that I don't want you to push the wheelchair!"

Dugu Qingli asked, "Is this something so difficult to judge?"

"It's not difficult, it's just that I thought you were stupid... Oh, no, I thought Sister Qingli was cold and indifferent and didn't care."

"If the swordsman hadn't sensed the malice, he would have died long ago, just like you swallowed the first half of the sentence." But Dugu Qingli really didn't care about the so-called malice. Having said that, he continued to ask the previous topic: "Do you really not care about having a stepmother?"

Ah Nuo stared at the door absentmindedly, listening to the suppressed breathing inside, and whispered: "As long as Master likes it, anything is possible, including letting you push the wheelchair." Dugu Qingli could no longer bear it: "Thank you for your generosity, but no one wants to compete with you for the position of pushing the wheelchair!"

The noise inside suddenly became louder. They both closed their mouths and listened at the same time, but there was no sound.

Ah Nuo was shocked: "So fast? It's only been a few times..."

Dugu Qingli was too lazy to pay attention to her. What does it have to do with me?

Inside, Lu Xingzhou was sweating profusely, injecting spiritual energy into his calf to smooth out the tendons, which was no easy task. He also had to endure Shen Tang's voice, which was even more difficult.

Of course, her voice was because the two ends of the broken tendon were close to each other, and the nerves had already responded and had sensation. The numbness and itching were really unbearable.

"Okay, you don't have to endure it anymore." Lu Xingzhou picked up a smear of black ointment and carefully applied it to her broken tendon. He then took out a bandage and wrapped it around her. "Be careful not to get it wet in the near future."

Shen Tang felt the numbness and itchiness disappear, replaced by a cool feeling, which was extremely comfortable. He let out a long sigh.

But he couldn't say anything in reply. The sound he made just now was so embarrassing.

There's still one leg left, let's do it again...

But seeing Lu Xingzhou sweating profusely, Shen Tang's expression was very complicated, a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude. After thinking it over, he said, "You're tired, take a break first."

Lu Xingzhou didn't hesitate and sat down to rest, taking out a silk scarf from his arms to wipe his sweat.

But he was stunned as soon as he wiped it. Shen Tang's face, which was already very red, was now even redder like blood, as if it was about to drip out.

That was not an ordinary silk scarf, but the handkerchief that was used to wrap the Five Elements Grass when I gave it to him.

Lu Xingzhou paused there, his voice stuttering a little: "This, this is what I wanted to return to you after washing it, but I've been busy these days and forgot..."

Shen Tang held it in for a long time, and finally turned his head away: "No need to return it."

Then I never planned to take it back... Besides, the man used it to wipe his sweat, so who in their right mind would take it back and continue using it?

But in this situation, after saying this, it always feels more ambiguous. I don’t know why... It feels like Lu Xingzhou is neither able to take it nor to return it.

Lu Xingzhou was too lazy to think about it anymore. He just wiped the sweat off his face with the handkerchief, stuffed it back into his arms, and said stiffly, "The other leg."

Previously, the treatment had focused on the outer leg, but now the other leg needed to be treated. Lu Xingzhou, in his wheelchair, would be too far away to be treated, which was inconvenient. Shen Tang moved both legs closer together, so that the outer leg was resting against Lu Xingzhou's.

The two pretended not to know, and Lu Xingzhou continued to treat the other one with an expressionless face. Not long after, the "hmm" sound was heard again in the room.

"Swoosh!" Sheng Yuanyao appeared outside the house and saw Dugu Qingli and An Nuo standing guard. Before he could ask any questions, he was startled by the sound inside.

Dugu Qingli glanced at her and said nothing.

Sheng Yuanyao also remained silent, and the number of people listening became three.

What are you doing here... Forget it, nothing is more important than this live gossip!
The treatment was finally completed, and both of them felt a sense of relief. Lu Xingzhou let out a long sigh: "You won't need to relax your muscles like today in the future. I can just change your dressing every day."

Shen Tang had been looking at the wall with his head tilted, and just said "hmm" when he heard that.

It's already like this, will there be any difference between the future and today...

Lu Xingzhou took out another porcelain bottle and placed it on the bedside. "This is medicine for internal use. There should be about ten pills in it. Take one pill a day for ten days. Old Butler Huo should have eaten one by now. There are still nine pills... It's not a big problem. I can refine another one to make up for it. It's not difficult at this point."

In fact, Shen Tang's cultivation is far beyond that of the old housekeeper Huo. If she really reaches the end of the treatment, she can probably recover on her own, and that one pill is really not a big deal.

Shen Tang finally gave up and sat up, feeling a mixture of surprise and joy: "You said before that I thought it would take a long time. Can it be cured in ten days?"

"The tendons will heal in ten days, but full recovery is a long process. You'll need to undergo recovery training later. It would take a long time for an ordinary person, but with your foundation, it shouldn't take too long."

Shen Tang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and bowed to Lu Xingzhou: "Thank you, sir."

Lu Xingzhou said, "You said I was distant before, why do you feel even more distant now?"

Shen Tang paused for a few seconds, and finally her beautiful eyes moved: "Well, the boat."

That casual charm was astonishingly charming. The phrase "naturally charming" flashed through Lu Xingzhou's mind. He felt a little overwhelmed and tilted his head, saying, "I'm going back to rest...I'll call Qingli in to help you up?"

"No need to bother." Shen Tang gently pressed the bed with her slender hand, and she flew up like a fairy, circling in the air and accurately sitting on her wheelchair. She smiled at Lu Xingzhou and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked out of the door side by side. When Shen Tang reached the door, he stretched out his hand and pulled it. A little girl rolled in, and Sheng Yuanyao staggered in and almost fell into Lu Xingzhou's arms.
