Chapter 460: Chapter 301 Left_2
And this beast could be said to have treasures all over its body, which could be greatly useful to Ancient Martial Artists if used properly!
Liu Wentian made up his mind to later ask Cui Xiaozhu’s father about where he encountered that snake king and then go up to the mountains to search.
Soon, Liu Wentian followed Cui Xiaozhu to a dilapidated yard at the foot of the mountain, where a young boy was playing with a skinny, ragged dog.
“Sister, you’re back!!” When the boy saw Cui Xiaozhu, he immediately ran over with a smile. Seeing Liu Wentian, he curiously asked, “Sister, who is this big brother?”
Cui Xiaozhu replied, “Xiaolei, this is Brother Liu Wentian. He paid a high price for sister’s herbs. Now, we have money to treat dad’s illness.”
“Ah! Really? That’s great!” Upon hearing this, Xiaolei’s dirty little face broke into a smile, “Thank you, big brother!”
...
“You’re welcome, Xiaolei is very polite. Your sister’s herbs were indeed valuable. Is your dad inside? Let’s go and see him,” Liu Wentian said with a smile.
He had planned to help check on Cui Xiaozhu’s father as well, but he had not mentioned to Cui Xiaozhu whether he could cure him until after he had seen him.
Walking into the house, Liu Wentian couldn’t help but frown slightly. The room was dimly lit and stuffy, conditions that were very unfavorable for a patient’s recovery.
A middle-aged peasant woman was decocting medicine, and on a rudimentary wooden bed lay a middle-aged man with a waxen complexion.
When the man saw Cui Xiaozhu bringing Liu Wentian in, he looked at him in surprise, propped himself up, and asked with confusion, “Xiaozhu, who is this?”
The peasant woman also looked at Liu Wentian with confusion and some wariness in her eyes.
“Mom, Dad, this is Brother Liu Wentian. He spent two million buying my herbs. Now, dad can get treatment at a major hospital!!” Cui Xiaozhu said excitedly.
“Two million?” Both of Cui Xiaozhu’s parents exclaimed in surprise.
Following this, their gazes became unfriendly and wary as they scrutinized Liu Wentian.
Liu Wentian understood that they thought he was trying to deceive them. However, he found it not surprising, as it was normal for anyone to be skeptical if a little girl said someone wanted to spend two million on some herbs.
Liu Wentian smiled and said, “Hello, uncle and auntie. I indeed spent two million on Xiaozhu’s herbs. There was one particular item that I needed. Also, because I felt it was unsafe for her to carry so much money back alone, I accompanied her here.”
Having finished speaking, he immediately opened his suitcase, revealing bundles of red banknotes to everyone present.
“Ah! So much money!” Cui Xiaozhu’s younger brother Xiaolei was the first to exclaim, his little face filled with excitement.
Cui Xiaozhu’s parents, seeing the money, finally realized that the man before them was not a swindler. Their expressions also became excited. Cui’s father, still astonished, asked, “Young man, is there really something valuable in my daughter’s herbs? I remember they were just common medicinal materials.”
“Dad, it’s that red root you brought back. The big brother said it’s called Fire Sun Grass,” Cui Xiaozhu interjected eagerly.
Upon hearing this, Cui’s father was surprised and said, “So it’s that thing. I also felt it was extraordinary, giving a sense of strength just by smelling it, but I never imagined it could be so valuable.”
“Uncle, is your leg injury very serious? Let me take a look,” Liu Wentian suddenly said, catching everyone in the room off guard.
“Young man, you know how to treat illnesses?” asked Cui’s father.
Liu Wentian nodded, “Yes, I’m a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.”
Upon hearing this, Cui’s father was somewhat skeptical. Considering his young age, if it were Western medicine and he was a graduate from a renowned school, maybe he would have some skills, but for traditional Chinese medicine at such a young age, he doubted Liu Wentian’s medical expertise.
However, given the goodwill shown and the two million brought to his family, he felt it was improper to refuse, so he said, “Alright, young man, take a look then.”
Liu Wentian nodded and walked over, taking out the silver needle and administering several acupuncture points on Father Cui’s foot.
The Cui family members were all shocked, feeling that Liu Wentian was too reckless, performing acupuncture without a word. Even if he really knew acupuncture, he should have clarified the situation before proceeding!
However, seeing the considerable amount of money that Liu Wentian brought, they ultimately held their tongues, though some dissatisfaction had already grown in their hearts.
After finishing the acupuncture, Liu Wentian reached out and pressed on Father Cui’s bandaged right leg.
“Ah! Young man, don’t press; it will hurt me to death!” Father Cui cried out in fright.
“How can you young people be so careless? You’re going to ruin old Cui here!” Mother Cui, disregarding that Liu Wentian was their family’s God of Wealth for the moment, hurriedly tried to pull him away.
In her eyes, Liu Wentian was simply torturing him; Father Cui’s leg had been diagnosed with a comminuted fracture. Pressing like this could not only be excruciating, but it could also worsen the condition!
“Does it hurt?” Liu Wentian had already started pressing down on Father Cui’s leg, wearing a confident smile.
Father Cui was stunned for a moment, then realized that there was no pain coming from his leg. His eyes wide and mouth agape, he said, “What’s going on? Why doesn’t it hurt at all??”
Mother Cui, about to pull Liu Wentian’s hand away, stopped mid-action, incredulous, “Old Cui, are you really not in pain??”
“Nonsense, whether it hurts or not, can’t I myself feel it??” Father Cui retorted irritably.
His heart, like Mother Cui’s, was also filled with disbelief. Under normal circumstances, even a little movement would be tormenting, but now the hand pressing on his leg made him feel nothing at all!
It was as if he had been given a potent anesthetic!
Liu Wentian laughed and said, “It’s good you’re not in pain. I just used acupuncture to numb the perception nerves in your right leg. Now, of course, you don’t feel any pain.”
Although Cui Xiaozhu’s parents did not understand what perception nerves were, their view of Liu Wentian had changed. Initially, they had let him treat the leg just because it was awkward to refuse, but now they truly believed in his medical skills.
Cui Xiaozhu and her brother were looking at Liu Wentian with admiration, as if they were looking at their own idol.
Who could have imagined that because of Liu Wentian’s confident demonstration at that moment, years later, Huaxia would gain two more traditional Chinese medicine experts—none other than the Cui siblings!
After about twenty minutes, Liu Wentian’s fingers finally left Father Cui’s leg. He smiled and said, “You had a mild comminuted fracture. I’ve just repositioned your bones. Of course, it’s customary to say that it takes a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries. Although you don’t really need to rest in bed for a hundred days, uncle, you still need to take good care of yourself for the next month. Also, I’m prescribing you a herbal plaster which you should apply on your leg to aid your recovery.”

Father Cui was stunned and said, “Doctor Liu, are you saying you’ve already treated me??”
“Not healed, as I said, you still need some late-stage care and rest,” Liu Wentian said.
Father Cui was nevertheless extremely excited; it was almost as good as being cured! Understand that previously, the local hospital had diagnosed him with a comminuted fracture, with several bone fragments pressing against the leg nerves, suggesting surgery that might cost up to 500,000 yuan and could potentially lead to amputation!
Yet Liu Wentian had managed to realign the bones with just about twenty minutes of pressing, which was simply unbelievable!
Unconsciously, his manner of addressing changed from calling him a young man to Doctor Liu, in a show of respect!
Mother Cui and the others now looked at Liu Wentian with profound gratitude in their eyes. To them, Liu Wentian was almost a savior!
Understand that if Father Cui had really needed an amputation, it would have meant the collapse of their household!
“Uncle, actually, I wanted to ask about that Snake King. Could you tell me where you encountered it??” After treating the leg, Liu Wentian straightforwardly asked the question weighing on his mind.
Upon hearing this, Father Cui was momentarily stunned and suspicious, “Doctor Liu, why are you asking about the Snake King? You’re not planning on going after it, are you??”
