The Tang family members had been waiting, and upon seeing the divine doctor Mu and the other person walk into the courtyard, they immediately rushed forward to greet them warmly.
“We have to trouble divine doctor Mu again; our Tang family is eternally grateful!” Tang Yongchang stepped forward, a little reserved, but more overwhelmed by the honor.
After all, the current divine doctor Mu was someone many prominent families couldn't even invite. Yet, his Tang family had managed to invite him multiple times to examine the elder.
Mu Fangyuan smiled faintly, “Director Tang and I have known each other for many years. This is a small matter, no trouble at all. Please lead the way!”
Tang Yongchang turned and led the way.
Xiao Yurou followed behind Mu Fangyuan, nodding at Ye Cangtian and Tang Xinwan as she passed them.
The rest of the Tang family quickly followed suit.
After all, witnessing the divine doctor Mu’s treatment was a valuable experience for anyone.
...
Inside a room in a loft!
On the sickbed lay an elderly man in critical condition. His pale face lacked any color, his eyes were tightly shut, clearly having been unconscious for a long time.
The divine doctor Mu sat by the bed, and with Xiao Yurou’s assistance, he took out silver needles one by one and began the acupuncture treatment.
Behind them, everyone remained extremely quiet, afraid of disturbing divine doctor Mu’s treatment.
Only Ye Cangtian, from afar, glanced at the unconscious Elder Tang, a hint of surprise and helplessness on his face as he shook his head.
“Useless!”
The sudden voice caused almost everyone to freeze.
Tang Yongchang turned and glared furiously at Ye Cangtian, “What are you doing? If you disturb divine doctor Mu’s treatment, can you handle the consequences?”
Tang Xinwan couldn’t help but glare at Ye Cangtian as well. Why did this guy suddenly speak up? Didn't he see that everyone else was being quiet?
Seeing everyone glare at him, Ye Cangtian continued to shake his head, “This clearly isn’t an illness, so no matter how you perform acupuncture or treatment, it’s impossible to cure!”
“Ye Cangtian, are you deliberately here to cause trouble? Xinwan, why don’t you get him out of here? Don’t you see what kind of occasion this is, making such a fuss!” Tang Yongchang roared.
The Tang family members present were also extremely angry. Did this guy not see the divine doctor Mu performing acupuncture treatment?
Tang Xinwan felt a bit embarrassed and angry as she looked at Ye Cangtian, a slight headache forming. She truly regretted bringing this guy back to the Tang family’s ancestral home today.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, “Young man, you say that Elder Tang is not ill?”
Seeing the divine doctor Mu looking at him with surprise, Ye Cangtian pouted, “Of course, it’s not an illness. The elder’s face is pale, but his blood vessels appear green. It’s obvious he’s been poisoned, and the toxins have clearly spread throughout his body. It’s clear he won’t live for more than a few days.”
Upon hearing this, the people present began to curse him vehemently.
“You don’t know anything! It’s clearly the color of the blood vessels, and you’re saying it’s poisoning? This kid is deliberately causing trouble!”
“I think he’s just trying to curse the elder!”
“Xinwan, quickly drive this madman out! He’s spouting nonsense, don’t disturb divine doctor Mu’s acupuncture treatment!”
Everyone was indignant. They had already thought this kid had poor character, and now it seemed his mind was also problematic. Such a person must be driven out of the Tang family courtyard as soon as possible!
Tang Yongchang also glared at Ye Cangtian with a dark expression, then looked at Tang Xinwan and said sternly, “Niece Xinwan, do I need to say it a second time?”
But just then, Mu Fangyuan suddenly coughed. When everyone looked at him quietly, he sighed, “Actually, what this young man said is correct. Elder Tang is indeed poisoned, not terminally ill!”
“In fact, I discovered this problem two years ago, but the poison Elder Tang has is extremely peculiar, and my medical skills are unable to reverse it!”
“So, I could only use acupuncture to seal the meridians, preventing the spread of toxins, thereby extending Elder Tang’s life!”
For two years, Mu Fangyuan had performed acupuncture every six months, aiming to seal the elder's meridians and slow the spread of the toxins.
However, upon this visit, the toxins in Elder Tang’s body had spread to their limit. Even if he performed acupuncture again, he could only extend the elder’s life by about a month!
Mu Fangyuan took a deep breath and sighed, “I didn’t expect this young man to be so knowledgeable, actually being able to discern that Elder Tang was poisoned. It truly surprises me. Are you also a student of medicine, young man?”
Everyone was a bit surprised, surprised that the elder wasn’t terminally ill but poisoned!
They were also surprised that Ye Cangtian could see it!
However, Ye Cangtian shook his head and shrugged, “I don’t know any medicine. I’m just very familiar with the symptoms after being poisoned!”
He was indeed very familiar with poisoning!
Because when he was just a few years old, the old man had thrown him into the primeval forest for arduous devilish training, which involved being bitten by poisonous insects and snakes. Poisoning was as common as eating.
Tang Xinwan suddenly asked, “Divine doctor Mu, is there really no way to resolve the poison my grandfather has?”
Everyone’s gaze turned to divine doctor Mu again. Whether the elder was poisoned or terminally ill made no difference to them. The most important thing was whether this poison could be resolved.
Mu Fangyuan gave a wry smile and shook his head, “With my medical skills, I have no solution for this poison!”
For a moment, the Tang family members had complex expressions. If even divine doctor Mu had no solution, who else in the world could resolve it?
Tang Xinwan’s eyes also welled up. This was the grandfather who had doted on her the most since childhood. Although her grandfather’s condition hadn’t improved in the past two years, it still offered some hope.
But now, with divine doctor Mu saying this, she knew her grandfather might not have much time left.
“I can try!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Tang Xinwan’s body trembled, and the Tang family members also stiffened, looking towards Ye Cangtian.
Tang Yongchang said sternly, “Ye Cangtian, don’t think that just because you could see the elder was poisoned, you’ve become very capable. Even divine doctor Mu has no solution, do you think you can succeed?”
This guy didn’t even understand medicine, so what made him think he could succeed?
“It’s precisely because no one else has a solution that I want to try. Let’s treat a dead horse as if it’s alive!” Ye Cangtian said with a smile, but his eyes were on Tang Xinwan, completely ignoring the others.
Tang Xinwan frowned. She didn’t know where Ye Cangtian’s courage came from, nor what he relied on to save her grandfather. But looking at his clear and confident eyes, she hesitated for a moment.
For some reason, she inexplicably nodded and said softly, “Then, you… don’t mess around!”
“Don’t worry! Just because you believe in me this much, I will definitely save your grandfather!” Ye Cangtian grinned and walked directly towards Elder Tang.
“Xinwan! Are you also fooling around?” Tang Yongchang said gravely.
“Uncle, let him try!” Tang Xinwan took a deep breath. Although she knew it was almost impossible, she was still willing to let Ye Cangtian try.
“Absurd!” Tang Yongchang muttered.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian walked to Mu Fangyuan’s side, a smile on his face.
Mu Fangyuan shook his head helplessly, stood up, and made way. He couldn’t help but smile slightly, not truly believing that this young man could cure the poison. After all, no one knew better than him how peculiar and strange Elder Tang’s poison was.
In this world, if anyone could truly cure Elder Tang, perhaps only that person could achieve it!
However, as Ye Cangtian sat by the bed and placed a hand on Elder Tang’s withered palm, Mu Fangyuan’s face showed a strange expression.
