The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Looking at Feng Jichun's shocked and even somewhat burning gaze, Yang Shuisheng shook his head slightly: "Old Feng, the specific bone-setting techniques involve some skills and insights that are inconvenient to discuss openly, so please forgive me for not being able to elaborate."

"However, in general, it is similar to the traditional bone setting method. It is simply about finding the bone position, following the natural direction, and applying precise force."

"You are a senior colleague, you should understand that this job relies more on the feel and experience accumulated in your hands."

Feng Jichun was no ordinary person. He had practiced medicine in the town for decades and had seen all sorts of people. As soon as he heard Yang Shuisheng's words, he knew that the other party was unwilling to talk in depth. Moreover, the composure and confidence revealed in his words were something that ordinary young people could not possess.

He nodded, a look of understanding on his face, his scrutiny and displeasure replaced by amazement and admiration.

"Understood, understood! I was being presumptuous." Feng Jichun stroked his goatee, looking at Yang Shuisheng with deep emotion, but his eyes were complicated. "Young brother, you have such remarkable medical skills at such a young age, especially your bone-setting technique, which is exquisite and skillful, I have never heard of it before."

"I have practiced medicine for most of my life, and I ask myself if I could do it with such ease, precision and speed."

"Given time, you will surely become famous and bring benefits to your community!"

He paused, then couldn't help but mutter to himself with curiosity, "But at your age, with such skill and experience, where did you accumulate all that expertise? I really can't figure it out."

"You know, even some old doctors who have practiced medicine for decades may not be proficient in bone setting. You can only say that you are blessed by God and have a natural talent."

His words were both a reflection and a way of finding a reasonable explanation for his own doubts.

talent!

Aside from that, he simply couldn't understand how a young man in his early twenties could possess such miraculous bone-setting skills.

"Old Feng is right."

At this moment, Su Danian also came over, his face full of gratitude, and grabbed Yang Shuisheng's hand: "Dr. Yang! You saved my Xiaoyue today, I can't thank you enough."

"Come on, you absolutely have to come to my house today. Let me cook a nice feast to thank you."

"Boss Su, please don't call me that."

Yang Shuisheng quickly waved his hand: "What kind of miracle doctor am I? I can't accept that title."

"Please call me 'little brother' or 'Shuisheng' as before, it sounds more friendly."

"Alright! Then I'll call myself Shuisheng, it sounds more friendly." Su Danian readily agreed, grinning from ear to ear. "Then you can't refuse this meal, you absolutely have to go!"

"Alright, Mr. Su, you're too kind to refuse."

Yang Shuisheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "However, we'll probably have to eat later. I need to buy some things first."

"Buy something? You tell me what you want to buy!"

"I brought my sister-in-law from the village to get some medicine for the child," Yang Shuisheng said, glancing at Xiaobao who had returned to Guo Cuihong's side. "Then we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some rice, flour, cooking oil, and daily necessities."

"That's easy." Su Danian patted his chest. "Old Feng, please get the best medicine according to the prescription Shui Sheng gave you. I'll cover the cost."

Then he looked at Yang Shuisheng and said, "As for rice, flour, cooking oil and daily necessities, hey, why bother going to the supply and marketing cooperative? My family runs a general store."

"Just take whatever you need from my warehouse."

"Take whatever you like from my place, don't be shy."

"You saved Xiaoyue today, what's a little something like this?"

Su Danian spoke frankly and sincerely; he genuinely wanted to repay the favor, and his family was indeed well-off. As a general store owner, he had no shortage of such daily necessities.

Although there are many grocery stores in Daliang Town, the Su family's store was the earliest and first one, and its reputation had long spread to the surrounding villages, with business booming.

"Thank you, Mr. Su."

Seeing that Su Danian's attitude was firm, Yang Shuisheng stopped being coy and nodded, saying, "I'll trouble you, Elder Feng, with the medicine for Sister Cuihong and the prescription for Miss Su's arm to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

As he spoke, he took the prescription that Guo Cuihong had written earlier and handed it to Feng Jichun. He then casually mentioned a prescription for regulating qi and blood and strengthening muscles and bones. Several of the herbs in the prescription overlapped with those in the prescription he had written for Xiaobao, but the combination was more refined. It was obviously designed for the treatment of Su Xiaoyue's bone injury.

"Great!"

Feng Jichun took the prescription and examined it carefully, especially the new prescription dictated by Yang Shuisheng. His eyes lit up again, and he nodded repeatedly: "The formula is excellent, with clear distinctions between the principal, assistant, and adjuvant herbs. It can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis without harming the body's vital energy, and it can also strengthen muscles and bones!"

"Wonderful! I didn't expect you to have such an exceptional understanding of medicinal herbs."

Without further delay, he immediately went to fetch the medicine himself and instructed his apprentice to use only the best herbs.

Soon, several packets of medicine were prepared. Feng Jichun checked them and found that the medicinal materials were of excellent quality and quantity, meeting Huichuntang's top-grade standards.

Holding the heavy load of medicinal herbs, Guo Cuihong was filled with gratitude. She looked at Yang Shuisheng, then at the enthusiastic Su Danian, and whispered, "Brother Shuisheng, Boss Su, the medicine is ready. I'll take Xiaobao back now, so I won't disturb you any longer..."

"Hey! Cuihong, what are you saying?" Su Danian quickly stopped her, "You're Shuisheng's friend, so you're my friend, Su Danian's friend too."

"Let's all eat at home today; it's just a matter of having a couple more pairs of chopsticks."

"Xiao Bao, come home with your uncle for dinner. There's meat at your uncle's house, okay?"

When Xiao Bao heard the word "meat," his eyes lit up, and he looked timidly at his mother.

Yang Shuisheng nodded to Guo Cuihong: "Sister-in-law Cuihong, let's eat together. That way you won't have to cook when you get back."

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Boss Su."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Guo Cuihong blushed and nodded.

"No trouble at all! No trouble at all! Let's go!" Su Danian was in a great mood and called to everyone to leave Huichuntang together and head towards his family's general store.

Feng Jichun escorted Yang Shuisheng to the door, his gaze lingering on Yang Shuisheng's retreating figure with complex emotions, and lingered there for a long time.

The group arrived at Su Danian's house.

The Su family lived on the main street of the town. In front was the Su's Grocery Store with two storefronts, and in the back was a small courtyard and several rooms. They were considered a well-off family in the town.

Yang Shuisheng thought it would just be a simple home-cooked meal, but to his surprise, Su Danian, in order to express his gratitude, directly asked his waiter to order a fine meal from the most famous Yuelai Restaurant in town and have it prepared and delivered directly to his home.

It is said that Yuelai Restaurant was opened by Wang Kun.

Before long, a large octagonal table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat, seasonal vegetables, more than a dozen main dishes, and two jugs of fine wine. The abundance left Guo Cuihong speechless, while Xiao Bao stared intently at the meat on the table, unable to look away.

This was even more lavish for these villagers than a New Year's feast.

"Come, Shuisheng, Cuihong, have a seat! Don't be shy, make yourselves at home."

Su Danian greeted them warmly, and then said to Su Xiaoyue, who had changed into clean clothes and was too shy to look at Yang Shuisheng, "Xiaoyue, come over here and offer your brother Shuisheng a cup of tea."

"Thanks to you, Brother Shuisheng, today!"

Su Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked over, picked up the teapot and filled the teacup in front of Yang Shuisheng. Then she held it up with both hands, lowered her head, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Shui... Brother Shuisheng, thank you, please have some tea."

Although she was shy, she was very polite and well-mannered.

"Miss Su, you're too kind. It was nothing."

Yang Shuisheng quickly took the teacup and took a sip.

"What do you mean by 'it's just a small favor'? It's a small favor to you, but it's an immense favor to Xiaoyue."

While reminiscing, Su Danian placed a piece of braised pork on Yang Shuisheng's plate and asked curiously, "By the way, Shuisheng, you haven't been bringing over any medicinal herbs to sell lately?"

"I've been busy lately and haven't been to the mountains much," Yang Shuisheng said casually after swallowing his food. "I'll go for a stroll in the mountains again in a few days when I have some free time, and try my luck."

"Oh, okay, okay! When you have some good stuff, be sure to bring it to town first, and we can discuss the price," Su Danian said with a smile.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Su Danian put down his chopsticks, his smile faded, and he became serious.

He took out a red envelope that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Yang Shuisheng with both hands.

"Shuisheng," Su Danian said sincerely, "Xiaoyue's arm, although not life-threatening, is still no small matter."

"Thanks to your miraculous healing today, she suffered much less and was spared the risk of future complications."

"This money is not as much as what Brother Kun gave you, but it is a small token of my appreciation from Su Danian. Please accept it."

"Otherwise, I would feel really guilty."
