When Lin Yifan woke up again, he saw it was already eight o’clock on his phone.
"Why not sleep a little more?"
Xu Fengxian heard so movent in the room and imdiately walked in.
Last night they stayed up almost until dawn, and he fell asleep from exhaustion.
"I promised Xiao Cui today to take her to the temple fair. I’d like to buy so herbs too. Do you want to co along?"
Lin Yifan was still a bit tired, but he didn’t have enough herbs on hand.
At the temple fair, people from all around would co to the market, making it the best opportunity to gather herbs.
"I won’t go. In a few days, frogs will be coming down the mountain. I’ve hired two people to help collect them. At noon, I’ll switch shifts with Jiufeng. I’m afraid she won’t manage on her own."
Frogs in the Northeast are similar to the Southern forest frogs, and they’re precious dicinal materials.
Spring and autumn every year are the harvesting seasons for frogs, and she certainly wouldn’t miss it.
"Then save so frogs this year and make so snow frogs. It’ll be perfect for alchemy."
"Then I must be the first to try the Youthful Appearance Pill!"
Xu Fengxian hugged his waist and acted spoiled.
"Don’t worry, you’ll certainly have so. I’m leaving now, but be careful."
He affectionately kissed her cheek before stepping out.
Last night he parked directly at her place, so there’s nothing to avoid now.
"He has already set off. Have a great ti, both of you."
Watching the pickup truck drive away, Xu Fengxian took out her phone and sent a WeChat ssage.
"Got it, thanks, sister!"
Located in Team Six, Xiao Cui jumped out the door cheerfully.
In no ti, the huge pickup truck arrived.
"Ready to head out."
Lin Yifan stopped the car and said to Xiao Cui.
"Yifan, my classmate’s dad has pneumoconiosis. Can you take a look at him?"
Not boarding the car, Xiao Cui pleaded with a concerned expression.
"No problem, let’s go in then."
Lin Yifan naturally wouldn’t refuse, so he parked the car.
Guided by her, he walked into the shabby house.
The old mud house was quite worn down, and the yard was filled with various farm tools.
Before they stepped inside, coughing sounds could be heard from within.
Entering the dilapidated house, Miao Miao was seen feeding herbal dicine to her bedridden father.
"Miao Miao, this is Yifan. He’s co to help take a look at your dad."
"Well... thank you."
Miao Miao looked at Lin Yifan with gratitude.
Though she was the sa age as Xiao Cui, her hardship-ridden family made her appear much older.
"I don’t need it... cough cough... don’t look... wasting money!"
Miao Miao’s father hurriedly waved his hands tightly.
In such family conditions, affording food was already a concern, let alone dical treatnt.
"Don’t worry, Uncle. I won’t charge anything. You cough so severely; it seems like you’ve been ill for a long ti."
Lin Yifan sat sideways on the bed edge and grasped his emaciated arm.
"This illness... it’s incurable... why won’t they just let die... always a burden to others..."
The dry and thin man breathed rapidly.
Years of coughing and panting had rendered him completely incapable of work.
"Dying doesn’t solve problems. Only by living can you better care for Miao Miao. I’ll give you a needle treatnt first, which should alleviate the symptoms. Later today, I’ll have Xiao Cui deliver so herbal dicine. Although it won’t fully heal you, it can ensure you won’t have major issues anymore. With proper recovery, you can return to work."
Lin Yifan took the needle box out of his pocket, handling the silver needle as he pricked a few spots on his colorless chest.
Xiao Cui and Miao Miao, naturally unfamiliar with this seemingly simple nine needles technique, were unaware it was legendary in the Chinese dicine circles.
Each aspect of sequence and depth carried strict requirents.
"Cough cough cough..."
When the silver needle was inserted, Miao Miao’s father suddenly began a violent cough.
The aggressive coughing seed as if he was about to cough out his lungs, frightening Miao Miao into tears.
Yet, Lin Yifan remained calm, quickly withdrawing the silver needle with his right hand.
He effortlessly flipped him onto his side, and then clapped rapidly on his back with his right hand.
"Wow..."
Miao Miao’s father, prone on the bed edge, spat out a mouthful of dark blood.
The sight left the two won nearby pale with fright.
"Dad... you’ve killed my dad!"
Miao Miao gripped Lin Yifan’s arm excitedly, yelling loudly.
The blood her father spat out had ford a pool, with clotted pieces among it.
The herbal dicine he had just consud was entirely ejected.
"I... I’m fine... feels so comfortable!"
Unexpectedly, the uncle at the bed edge waved eagerly.
The long-compressed chest felt incredibly comfortable now.
He hadn’t breathed this smoothly in years.
"I simply helped him expel the clotted blood in the chest cavity to alleviate his symptoms. However, due to years of illness, his lungs have fibrosed, and recovery won’t be instantaneous. Later I’ll have Xiao Cui deliver the dicine here. With regular three doses a day and enhanced recovery exercises, you should be back on your feet in two months."
Lin Yifan smiled, putting away the silver needle.
"Sorry... I was too impulsive earlier... I’ll kowtow to you!"
Miao Miao, teary-eyed, was about to kneel when Yifan quickly held her back.
"You are Xiao Cui’s classmate and a villager from Taoyuan Village. We’re all fellow villagers, so no need for courtesy. Take good care of Uncle, and we’ll go to the temple fair to buy so herbs."
After giving so reminders, Lin Yifan led Xiao Cui outside.
Miao Miao thanked them profusely as she walked them out.
"Yifan, your dical skill is truly amazing. With such talent, why do you stay in the village?"
Having witnessed Lin Yifan’s exceptional skill twice, Xiao Cui could hardly contain her excitent.
Such ability, in the city, could earn fortunes instantly.
"Who says talent must head to the city? Those iron skyscrapers are suffocating. The countryside with its beautiful landscapes and scenery is far better."
Gripping the steering wheel, Lin Yifan smiled.
"And still you want to return to school. I want to stay in Taoyuan Village and be your assistant instead."
Xiao Cui pouted, looking aggrieved.
He always spoke against city life yet persistently sent her back.
"We’re not the sa. I’ve seen splendid sceneries without changing my initial intentions, but you haven’t experienced worldly delights yet. How could you know your heart’s belonging? Oh, let transfer two thousand yuan to you. Find a way to give it to Miao Miao. Her dad’s body is weak and needs nourishnt. How you manage it is up to you."
Lin Yifan smiled and transferred two thousand yuan to Xiao Cui.
"Are you interested in Miao Miao?"
No matter how mature, won invariably get jealous.
"Stop spouting nonsense. Not everyone thinks only about won; I’m just repaying my karma."
Lin Yifan rolled his eyes at her.
People don’t realize the importance of doing good and accumulating virtue, leading to pressing karmic debts.
As the Heavenly Doctor, he might not be a saint, but he knew how to accumulate virtue.
