Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was not that Su Fengzhang did not trust his niece. It was just that he had never heard of or seen her medical skills before. He even wondered how Su Binglan could learn medical skills in just a few months.
Su Fengzhang knew evervone doted on his niece. so thev arranged for her to study medicine. Nonetheless, his mind was chaotic, as he could not even think straight. He felt fear gripping his entire person.
Su Wenxian’s eyes were red as he sobbed, “Mother, Binglan is here to see you. Open your eyes and take a look.”
However, his mother was not in good health, and his father could not bear to see Madam Ding work hard. The couple only had Su Wenxian to rely on besides themselves.
He knew his mother had always liked Su Binglan. When he was young, he remembered that his mother liked visiting Shen Qiuhua’s house to see Su
Binglan. Madam Ding even said she would teach Su Binglan how to embroider.
However, her eyesight worsened, and she became sick, unable to do anything. On their way home from visiting many doctors away from the village, Madam Ding woke up and said to her son, “Wenxian, if only you had a younger sister. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about you and your father.
“Sisters are always meticulous and take good care of others. Binglan is a good child. She just behaves differently now after falling from the back of the mountain and bumping her head. She will recover and return to her former self soon.”
Su Wenxian still remembered what his mother said. He knew his mother wanted to see Su Binglan when she returned to the village.
“Aunt Ding? Aunt Ding, can you hear me?” Su Binglan called out to Madam Ding, and so did many others.
Perhaps after hearing so many voices, she finally opened her eyes, albeit slowly. Madam Ding saw Su Binglan’s smile and wanted to say something, but she was utterly powerless.
Su Binglan looked at her aunt smilingly. “You’ll be alright, Aunt Ding. I will soon open a large embroidery shop and want you to oversee it. That’s why I need you to get better.”
She checked Madam Ding’s pulse while talking as she knew Madam Ding was conscious. Su Binglan discovered that constant depression had caused her aunt’s condition. Madam Ding felt like she was unwilling to live.
Su Binglan could feel her aunt’s weak pulse as she talked to her, “I can cure your eyes, Aunt Ding. I’ve cured Uncle Fengzhi’s throat and nose and Uncle Fengchen’s hand before.
“Uncle Fengzhi isn’t here right now because he’s selling barbecue skewers in town. Uncle Fengchen’s hand has recovered, and he’s also doing his own business. You’re such a strong person, Aunt Ding. You will recover soon too.
“Do you remember telling me you would teach me to embroider when I was younger? You haven’t taught me yet, you know?”
Madam Ding’s eyes lit up when her niece said these things. At that moment, Su Binglan quickly pricked her silver needles toward Madam Ding’s head, eyes, and a few more acupuncture points on her hand.
Moreover, Su Binglan used her Soul Powers while inserting the needles into her aunt’s acupuncture points. After all, her Soul Powers contained healing Dowers.
Everyone was stunned when they saw how skilled Su Binglan was. Of course, the other members of the Su family seemed much calmer. Only Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were astonished.
‘So, my niece has medical skills after all?!’
‘My cousin is this skilled?!’
Su Binglan’s acupuncture techniques were solid. Su Fengzhang had taken his wife everywhere, and the two had seen many doctors’ techniques. One of the doctors even told the couple about a famous doctor from the Legendary Medicine Valley who knew acupuncture.
He also said the doctor who truly mastered acupuncture might be the only person who could save Madam Ding. However, he also told the couple that the doctor from the Legendary Medicine Valley was only a myth.
After the doctor’s explanation, Su Fengzhang and his son knew what acupuncture was. So, they were astounded when they saw how skilled Su Binglan was. They even suspected they were hallucinating.
Su Wenxian rubbed his eyes, thinking, ‘Is that really my younger cousin?!’
He and his father looked at Su Binglan’s calm yet severe expression and thought she seemed more convincing than the so-called famous doctors they had visited.
Everyone held their breaths and said nothing at that moment. They were all worried. Although they believed in Su Binglan’s medical skills, they were still nervous when they saw it with their own eyes, mainly because Madam Ding’s condition was too severe.
Su Fengzhang had already mentioned that the doctors they had visited told him that Madam Ding only had a few breaths left.
Madam Ding had just opened her eyes when she fell unconscious again. However, if it were not for her undulating breathing, everyone would have thought she had passed away.
After about an hour, Su Binglan retrieved her silver needles. She said nothing, and no one was in a hurry to ask. They all knew Su Binglan was busy treating Madam Ding, so they dared not disturb her or startle Madam Ding.
After a while, Madam Ding slowly opened her eyes. Her blurry vision seemed to become more evident.
Madam Ding looked at Su Binglan and asked doubtfully, “S-Su Binglan?”
She thought she might be hallucinating. Although her voice was still frail at this moment, it was clear.
Su Fengzhang said excitedly, “Ding, how are you?”
Su Wenxian was so excited that he almost cried. “Mother, can you speak? How do you feel? Do you still have the strength to speak?”
He knew his mother did not even have the strength to speak.
Madam Ding looked at her husband and son, and her expression revealed guilt and reluctance. “I’m sorry.”
Su Fengzhang shook his head frantically. “Don’t say sorry. You have to get better. You will get better.”
Su Binglan said, “You and your eyes will get better soon, Aunt Ding. Trust me.”
Madam Ding returned to her senses, asking again, “Is it really you, Binglan?” Su Binglan smiled sweetly. “Yes, it’s me, Aunt Ding.”
Madam Ding reached out to hold Su Binglan’s hand. “So I didn’t mishear. It was your voice, after all. I heard everything you said. I remember telling you I would teach you to embroider, so I will.”
She spoke with difficulty but completed her sentences.
Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were extremely excited since Madam Ding’s condition was much better than before. It was simply amazing. They would not have believed it without seeing it with their own eyes.
If they heard about this from someone else, they would think that person was exaggerating or bragging, but after seeing everything for themselves, they knew it was the truth.
Su Binglan looked at her uncle and cousin and said thoughtfully, “Aunt Ding is okay now, Uncle Fengzhang and Cousin Wenxian. I’ll prescribe a few doses of medicine for Aunt Ding.
“She should do well to take them over the next few days. I’ll also give her acupuncture every day. She’ll be healthier, and her vision will return to normal after she recuperates properly.”
Madam Ding was short-sighted, but the people of that era did not know what short-sightedness was. As a result, she became depressed and felt defeated. She also often cried, which worsened her eyes.
Her depression also caused her to suffer from mental problems cascading throughout her body, making her ill. Fortunately, she had returned in time for Su Binglan to cure her.
Old Madam Su also heaved a sigh of relief. “Fengzhang, did you hear that?
Binglan says Ding is fine. You and Wenxian don’t have to worry anymore.”
“We can all breathe a sigh of relief now.” Everyone could finally catch their breath after feeling tense and nervous just now. They were incredibly worried about Madam Ding, after all..
