Under everyone's gaze, Lu Fan took the pulse and then took out silver needles, pricking a few points on Xiao Long, who then fell into a drowsy sleep.
"What happened to Xiao Long?" Da Tou asked anxiously, "Is something going to happen?"
"His mental state is unstable right now, so I made him sleep."
Lu Fan spoke, bringing Xiao Long into the room. Just as Da Tou was about to say something, Lu Fan turned and said, "You all wait outside!"
The crowd dared not say anything more and could only obey Lu Fan. Even Gu Wen waited outside, not daring to intrude easily.
He was very clear that any issue involving nerves was a complex medical condition that could not be disturbed in any way.
"Is Mr. Lu really capable?" Shen Xiaoxiao worried, "This isn't an ordinary illness, nor is it something to joke about."
"There shouldn't be any problem!" Han Yunhai said confidently, "When it comes to this, Mr. Lu has never failed!"
Gu Wen was secretly surprised. He knew Lu Fan's medical skills were extraordinary, and Han Yunhai's words further confirmed his belief.
After a long while, Lu Fan was still performing acupuncture. Da Tou, however, grew anxious. "Is he capable or not! What if something happens to Xiao Long, what will I do!"
"If you think he's not capable, then you go treat him," Han Yunhai said abruptly.
Da Tou then dared not speak further. Lu Fan was still treating the patient, and from his demeanor, he seemed to understand medicine. How could he dare to be negligent?
A moment later, Lu Fan emerged from the room, holding a few silver needles in his hand, which were stained with blood.
"My child..." Da Tou asked anxiously.
"Since I've taken action, naturally there's no major harm," Lu Fan stated directly. "You don't need to worry too much! This is a congenital condition, but it has been cured!"
Da Tou was somewhat incredulous. Xiao Long's illness had existed for many years, and it wasn't easy to cure. He still had many doubts about Lu Fan's medical skills.
However, at that very moment, Xiao Long walked down from the bed. "Dad! I'm hungry!"
Da Tou trembled violently and looked towards Xiao Long. For so many years, Xiao Long had never said he was hungry, which indicated that Xiao Long had recovered.
"I knew Mr. Lu wouldn't disappoint us," Han Yunhai chuckled. "See, I was right, wasn't I?" Su Dan Novel Network
Gu Wen also quickly nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of Lu Fan's medical skills, and was even more shocked. Even though his Gu family was a family of physicians and martial artists, they likely couldn't match such medical expertise.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my child." Da Tou quickly knelt down.
"A man's knees are made of gold; he shouldn't kneel so easily!" Lu Fan stated directly. "For me, it was just a matter of raising my hand."
"For you, sir, it is indeed a simple matter, but for our family, it is a great kindness." Da Tou was grateful.
Lu Fan didn't say anything further and returned to his room, preparing to rest.
However, Da Tou had prepared good wine and dishes and brought them directly to Lu Fan's room. "Sir, I have nothing else to repay you with. This is from my hunting."
"The village is not wealthy, so these things are not simple."
Looking at the dishes on the table, Lu Fan said directly, "Actually, it wasn't necessary!"
"It's just a small token of appreciation, sir, you don't need to mind," Da Tou smiled.
Lu Fan did not refuse. If he didn't eat this meal, Da Tou would likely feel uneasy. Shen Xiaoxiao was even more direct, starting to eat heartily before Lu Fan could even speak.
"You're quite casual!" Han Yunhai chuckled.
"Aren't you hungry?" Shen Xiaoxiao said directly. "To be able to eat like this in the deep mountains and old forests is priceless."
"This is all thanks to Mr. Lu. Without Mr. Lu, we might not be so well-received," Han Yunhai smiled faintly.
"Indeed, without Master's medical skills, we would still have to endure disdain," Gu Wen chimed in.
"That's only natural!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, placing a chicken leg in front of Lu Fan. "This meal is all thanks to you, so this chicken leg is for you!"
Lu Fan gave an embarrassed smile, took the chicken leg, and began to eat.
Meanwhile, in the town square of Niutou Village, many villagers were discussing, praising Lu Fan as a divine doctor who had cured Xiao Long's illness.
"Da Tou, you should accompany them up the mountain tomorrow," the old village chief said. "They cured Xiao Long's illness, and they should be rewarded!"
"I was thinking the same thing!" Da Tou nodded. "They are unfamiliar with the terrain, and anything that happens in Niutou Mountain is beyond their control. If I accompany them, it will be much safer."
The old village chief nodded slightly, like a wise elder, as if everything needed his arrangement for Niutou Village to function.
However, as they were talking, several figures appeared outside the village, instantly putting the people of Niutou Village on alert.
After all, no outsiders had visited Niutou Village for a long time, and the sudden arrival of two groups today made them visibly uneasy.
"Prepare good wine and dishes, we will be staying here tonight," said Young Master Zhu.
However, several men from Niutou Village did not oblige. "We don't allow strangers here, you should leave quickly."
"Are you kidding me? This is a wilderness, and it's already so dark. Where do you expect us to go?"
Yang Haibo was displeased. "Just tell us how much money it is. As long as you serve us well, bring us good wine and dishes!"
"Sirs, our Niutou Village does not accept outsiders."
Da Tou walked over. "I hope you sirs won't make a fuss. It's already evening, and some villagers have already gone to sleep."
The reason Da Tou blocked them was because these people were carrying weapons, especially the bodyguards behind them, who did not look like good people, completely different from Lu Fan and his group.
"Stop talking nonsense. We're staying here tonight," said Young Master Zhu directly. "Hurry up and prepare the beds. We're exhausted from walking all day!"
Da Tou and the others remained unmoved, still standing there. Without the village chief's permission, he would not let anyone enter the village. Moreover, these people did not seem like easygoing individuals. If they caused trouble in the village, wouldn't that be worrying?
"If you continue to block our way, don't blame us for being impolite."
Yang Haibo's expression was unfriendly. "It's already a favor that we can stay in your village. You should go ask around about my reputation, Yang Haibo, in Chuzhou."
"If you act rashly, don't blame us for being impolite," Da Tou said indignantly. "Don't think we're just a few people; there are many villagers in Niutou Village. If it really comes to a fight, you won't be able to handle it."
"You've got some nerve!" Yang Haibo was furious. "Smash this kid for me!"
"Young Master Yang," Young Master Liu quickly stepped forward. "This is a village after all, and there are quite a few people here. If it really comes to a fight, we will be at a disadvantage!"
Yang Haibo frowned slightly. He was not a pushover and naturally did not care about dealing with these uncultured villagers.
Da Tou did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, his expression was indifferent. This was Niutou Village, and it was not a place for others to run wild.
