My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.
Chapter 57 Old Master Luo Awakens
"This Dr. Su... Dr. Su, what kind of acupuncture technique did you just use? I have been practicing medicine for many years and know many masters of traditional Chinese medicine, but I have never seen such an amazing acupuncture technique. By the way, I am Chu Shanhe!"
Chu Shanhe learned from Luo Heng that the young man in front of him actually possessed the medical skills to bring people back to life. Moreover, Shen Beishan, the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was willing to lower himself and become the young man's disciple, which shows that the title of "divine doctor" was not an exaggeration.
Earlier in the corridor, Chu Shanhe's assistant introduced him, but did not mention his name, so he had to introduce himself.
"You studied Western medicine, so you don't understand many of the treatment methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even if I explained them to you, you wouldn't know."
"Yes, yes, yes, I was being presumptuous."
Faced with Su Muchen's impolite reply, Chu Shanhe dared not have any objection. His previous arrogance was gone, and he now adopted a respectful demeanor.
"Old Master Su... Dr. Su, why hasn't my father woken up yet?"
Even Luo Heng changed his way of addressing Su Muchen, and his attitude became more respectful.
"Brother Luo, there's no need for such formalities between us. Just call me 'brother.' After all, the old man has been in a coma for so many years. It's not something he can adapt to all at once, both physically and mentally. But that's not a problem. I'll wake him up right now."
Su Muchen placed his hand near Old Master Luo's ear and gently snapped his fingers.
"Grandpa, wake up!"
As Su Muchen finished speaking, Old Master Luo, who was lying on the hospital bed, twitched his eyelids and then slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for several years.
"You're awake, Dad, you're finally awake."
Luo Heng immediately stepped forward and took Old Master Luo's hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
Old Master Luo, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. He looked around blankly until his gaze fell on Luo Heng, at which point his eyes lit up.
"You're already in your fifties or sixties, why are you crying? Help me up."
With Luo Heng's help, the old man sat up.
"Dad, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
"I don't feel unwell, but I feel weak and powerless. By the way, what happened to me before? I felt like I had a very long nightmare, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't wake up."
"this……"
Luo Heng was at a loss for words and looked at Su Muchen with pleading eyes.
"Grandpa, do you remember how you fell into a coma?"
"I can't remember how I fell into a coma, but I remember that in the middle of the exercise, my guards reported to me that someone was asking to see me. They said that the person was a descendant of a villager that our regiment had saved during the Sino-Vietnamese War decades ago. They had come on visas to thank me, so I went to see them. Later that night, I felt dizzy and then lost consciousness."
Grandpa Luo carefully recalled his experiences before the accident.
"Old man, do you still remember the physical characteristics of the person who requested an audience with you?"
Su Muchen stepped forward, indirectly answering for Luo Heng.
"Who is this young man?"
Grandpa Luo had no idea that the young man in front of him was his savior.
"Oh dear, Mr. Luo, this is Doctor Su, he's the one who saved you."
Before Luo Heng could introduce Su Muchen to Old Master Luo, Chu Shanhe, who was standing at the foot of the bed, immediately spoke up. He now held Su Muchen in high esteem, so his positive attitude was only natural.
"Oh, Old Chu, you're here! I wasn't looking just now. Thank you for taking care of my illness, Old Chu!"
"Grandpa Luo, you're making me look bad. I haven't been able to help at all. It was Doctor Su who cured your illness. You should thank him."
Chu Shanhe dared not accept Old Master Luo's thanks, as he was unable to help in any way and had even looked down on Su Muchen, which made him feel very ashamed.
"Dad, Old Master Chu is right. If it weren't for Doctor Su's timely intervention, you probably would never have woken up again. You should thank Doctor Su."
Luo Heng chimed in, reminding the old man not to thank the wrong person.
"Young man... no, Dr. Su, I'm sorry, this old man has been negligent. I must thank you for saving this old man's life."
To be honest, when Grandpa Luo saw Chu Shanhe, he thought that the young man Su Muchen was Chu Shanhe's assistant or something, and he didn't immediately realize that the divine doctor Chu Shanhe was talking about was Su Muchen, after all, Su Muchen was too young.
After being lectured by the two, he realized that he had misjudged the person and quickly apologized to and thanked his savior.
"Grandpa, you don't need to be so polite. It was just a small favor, don't worry about it. By the way, Grandpa, what about the question I asked you earlier?"
"Oh, the person who requested to see me was dressed like a villager, nothing special. The only unusual thing was that when I saw him, I felt a slight chill. At the time, I thought the temperature in the meeting room was too low, so I specifically asked the guards to turn up the air conditioning. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Grandpa Luo frowned. He recalled the scene and didn't feel there was anything special about it; it was just a simple meeting with a villager.
Moreover, it was inside a military region, and there were bodyguards with them at the time. If anything happened, they would definitely have noticed.
"This is not good, very bad. The problem lies with this villager from Yue."
From Old Master Luo's words, Su Muchen could immediately confirm that the Yue villager Old Master Luo met must be the sorcerer who had cast a curse on him.
Although there are many ways to cast a curse on someone, the most direct way is to do it face-to-face, which is not only convenient and quick but also the safest method.
"Dr. Su, are you saying that my father was cursed by that villager from Yue?"
"A curse? What curse?"
Old Master Luo was unaware that the reason he had been in a coma for so many years, and had even just reported to the King of Hell, was not because he was ill, but because he had been harmed by a villain.
"Old man, the reason you've been unconscious for so long isn't because you're sick, but because a sorcerer from Southeast Asia cast a curse on you, causing your life force to be drained away. The sorcerer who cast the curse on you should be the Yue villager you'll be meeting."
"What? This old man was actually harmed by a villain? Oh dear, I was careless."
When Grandpa Luo learned that he had been under a curse, which was why he had been in a coma for several years, he was very annoyed.
"Grandpa, you don't need to blame yourself. If you're targeted by a sorcerer, it's hard to avoid. Even if you don't meet him, he can still cast a spell on you through other means, it's just a bit more complicated."
"Dr. Su, is there any way to find that sorcerer? He almost killed my father. I must tear him to pieces. Even if he is in Yue Kingdom, I will lead the entire elite team to capture him across the border."
Luo Heng stood up angrily, and his words expressed just how furious he was.
"You bastard, do you think you can just move the army around like that? This is the nation's army, not your personal one. Alright, go away. Doctor Su, do you see any way to find that sorcerer?"
When Grandpa Luo heard Luo Heng's words, he was so angry that he almost jumped out of his sickbed to scold his son. As a soldier, especially a high-ranking general, how could he mobilize the army for his own personal gain? Wasn't that just causing trouble for the country?
"It's not difficult to find that sorcerer. In fact, we don't even need to look for him. His curse has been broken. Knowing that you are alright, Grandpa, he will probably risk danger to come and verify it himself. We can just wait for him to walk into our trap."
Su Muchen was quite confident about this. He firmly believed that the sorcerer would risk coming to investigate the matter personally and take action against Old Master Luo again.
