The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Granny Sun lay on the ground, patting the ground and kicking her legs, looking like she was about to die.

"Ouch! My back is broken! You damned idiot Yang, you owe me money for my back! Pay up!"

"If you don't pay me back, I'll die right here today, and let the whole village see how you bully an old woman like me."

Yang Shuisheng watched her throw a tantrum with cold eyes.

He knows exactly how much effort he put in.

Although this old woman is old, she is very healthy. She usually scolds and beats Liu Yulan with great force. That push just now will at most make her fall on her buttocks, and there is no way she could break her back.

She was faking it; she wanted to extort money from her.

So he completely ignored Granny Sun rolling on the ground, turned around and walked to the bedside. Looking at Liu Yulan, whose eyes were filled with tears of pain, he softened his tone and asked, "Sister-in-law Yulan, how are you? Does your foot hurt a lot?"

"Shuisheng... I'm fine, go check on my mom..."

When Liu Yulan saw Yang Shuisheng come in, she was initially delighted, as if she had found a pillar of support. However, upon hearing her mother-in-law's exaggerated howling and demands for money, she panicked again.

"It looks like she really fell. I hope nothing serious happens."

She is kind-hearted but afraid of taking responsibility. No matter how badly her mother-in-law treats her, she can't really ignore it, after all, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Sun family.

"Ouch! It hurts so much, I can't move!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Sun wailed even louder, clutching her waist and rolling around, crying out, "Liu Yulan, you heartless woman! You just stand by and watch outsiders beat your mother-in-law! If anything happens to me, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Alright, stop pretending."

Yang Shuisheng frowned and shouted at the ground, "With your physique, you're perfectly fine after this fall."

"Even if you scream your lungs out, I won't help you up today, nor will I give you a single penny."

"Fine! You're not going to help me up, are you? You're not going to pay for it, are you?"

Granny Sun was taken aback by his words, then became furious and embarrassed. She glared at him and decided to go all out.

"Fine, I'll lie here and yell, and call all the neighbors over so everyone can see you, Yang Shuisheng, a grown man, barging into my widowed daughter-in-law's room in the middle of the night and even hitting this old woman."

"Let's see how you face people in Peach Blossom Village from now on! Does that little hussy Liu Yulan even care about her reputation anymore!"

These words struck a nerve with Liu Yulan, whose lips trembled and whose eyes were filled with fear.

In rural areas, a woman's reputation is of paramount importance. If her mother-in-law makes such a fuss, she can forget about ever holding her head high in the village again.

Yang Shuisheng's eyes turned cold.

He didn't care about his own reputation, but he couldn't let Liu Yulan be implicated.

"What exactly do you want?"

As soon as Granny Sun heard that there was a chance, she immediately stopped wailing.

But he still clutched his waist, feigning pain, and rubbed two fingers together, his meaning quite clear.

"My back hurts terribly, I'm afraid I've injured a bone, I need to see a doctor and get some medicine."

"Just give me a hundred or so yuan for medical expenses and nutritional supplements, and we'll call it even. Otherwise..."

"One hundred yuan?" Before Yang Shuisheng could speak, Liu Yulan panicked. Ignoring her pain, she forced herself to sit up and asked, "Mom! How could you do this?"

"Where did Shuisheng get so much money to give you?"

"I don't care if he has money or not!" Granny Sun said confidently. "My old bones are almost broken by him. Asking for a hundred yuan is already a small amount."

"Besides, he can't even come up with a hundred yuan, yet he boasts that he can get you two thousand yuan to buy your freedom within a month? He's kidding me!"

"Liu Yulan, you shameless wretch, how can you side with outsiders?"

Liu Yulan was speechless, and could only look at Yang Shuisheng with a pitiful expression.

"Take it and get out!"

Looking at Granny Sun's greedy and shameless face, Yang Shuisheng stopped talking nonsense, reached into his pocket, pulled out a brand new 100-yuan note, and threw it directly on the ground in front of Granny Sun.

"Remember, from now until the end of this month, if you dare to touch a single hair on Sister Yulan's head again, or dare to cause her any grievance, I will make you spit out your principal with interest."

When Granny Sun saw the brand-new hundred-yuan bill, her eyes widened instantly, and she no longer cared about her back pain.

With a speed beyond her years, she grabbed the money, examined it closely under the oil lamp, and touched it repeatedly. A smile spread across her face, and her previous pained expression vanished without a trace.

"Oh, if only you had just made up your mind earlier, it would have been fine."

Granny Sun happily stuffed the money into her pocket, quickly got up from the ground, patted the dust off her bottom, her face showing pride and satisfaction, but she still didn't forget to warn everyone.

"I'll take the money, and you can just push this matter away."

"But Yang Shuisheng, you two better watch yourselves. As long as that two thousand yuan isn't paid, Liu Yulan is still a member of my Sun family."

"Don't you dare do anything shady behind closed doors. If I find out, hmph."

After saying that, as if afraid that Yang Shuisheng would change his mind, she quickly opened the door and ran back to her room.

The room fell silent immediately.

Yang Shuisheng went over, bolted the door, and then turned back to the bedside.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Yulan, it's alright now."

Looking at Liu Yulan's tearful and aggrieved appearance, his heart softened: "Let me see your feet."

Liu Yulan nodded, looking at him with teary eyes, feeling a vague sense of dependence in her heart.

She slowly stretched her injured right leg out from under the thin blanket.

Liu Yulan was probably getting ready to sleep, wearing only an old undershirt and a pair of loose floral shorts.

The t-shirt was a bit short; when she lifted her leg, the hem rode up, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender waist and her round, adorable navel.

The shorts were rolled up to the top of her thighs due to the movement, completely exposing her smooth and slender calves and ankles to Yang Shuisheng's eyes.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance belonging to a young woman.

Yang Shuisheng's breath hitched slightly as he carefully lifted Liu Yulan's ankle. The skin he touched was delicate and slightly cool, but it felt somewhat taut due to the swelling.

Is this the area that hurts the most?

His fingers gently pressed around the most swollen and red ankle bone, the touch soft yet unusually hot.

"Mmm... Ouch... Be gentle..."

Liu Yulan shuddered, gasped, her toes curled up, and two red clouds rose to her cheeks.

It wasn't just the pain; the contact between Yang Shuisheng's warm, rough hands and his skin brought a disorienting, electric shock-like sensation.

She dared not look Yang Shuisheng in the eye, and could only turn her head away, biting her lip, letting him examine her.

In Yang Shuisheng's mind, the memories of the inheritance of bone setting and massage techniques clearly emerged.

Liu Yulan's ankle sprain is a common one. The joint is slightly dislocated and the tendons are twisted. It's not too serious, but it's not good to leave it for too long.

"Sister-in-law Yulan, your ankle bone is a bit misaligned and your tendon is twisted. I'll help you set it back. It might hurt a little, so please bear with it."

Looking into Yang Shuisheng's calm eyes, Liu Yulan felt inexplicably at ease.

Despite the severe pain in her foot, she nodded forcefully.

"Okay, Shuisheng, you do it. I can handle it."

Yang Shuisheng said no more, firmly supporting her heel with one hand and holding her slender foot with the other.

He took a deep breath, and three strands of energy flowed slightly within his dantian. Some of the energy gathered in his hands, making his senses more acute and his control of force more precise.

He first gently moved Liu Yulan's feet, searching for the most suitable angle and force.

Liu Yulan bit her lip, her body tense, already prepared for the pain.

It's now!

Yang Shuisheng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force with both hands, pulling, pushing and twisting with the most exquisite bone-setting technique in his memory!

"Snap!"

A sickeningly loud sound of bones realigning rang out.

"ah--"

Almost simultaneously, Liu Yulan let out a painful scream.

The shout was completely out of control, shattering all previous restraint.

A piercing pain instantly spread from her ankle throughout her entire body, causing Liu Yulan's vision to go black, her whole body to tremble violently, and tears to stream down her face.

She tilted her head back, revealing the white lines of her neck, her lips bitten until they turned white.

"Alright, alright, the worst pain is over, the bones are back in place."

Seeing Liu Yulan in such pain, Yang Shuisheng felt a pang of guilt and immediately used the muscle-relaxing and blood-activating techniques from his inherited memories.

"Sister-in-law Yulan, just bear with it a little longer. I'll massage it for you, and it won't hurt so much anymore soon."

He offered words of comfort in a low voice, his tone unconsciously softening considerably.

Yang Shuisheng massaged her for a while until the redness and swelling subsided and her skin was no longer so hot before he slowly stopped.

"Sister-in-law Yulan, try moving your ankle and gently stepping on the ground to see if it still hurts." Yang Shuisheng let go of her hand and helped her sit up.

Liu Yulan was skeptical, but carefully moved her ankle.

The excruciating pain from before seems to have really disappeared, leaving only a slight soreness when moving around.

She mustered her courage, braced herself against the edge of the bed, gently placed her injured foot on the ground, slowly straightened her body, and tried to put some weight on it.

It doesn't hurt!

She tried to take two more steps. Although she was still a little hesitant to put any force on her feet, her ankles felt much more stable, and the previous stinging and weakness were completely gone.

"It...it really doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Shuisheng, how are you so amazing? You can even do bone setting?"
