Chapter 559: A Strange Treatment Method
Chapter 559: A Strange Treatment Method
"Little Divine Doctor, you... you really want to smash my knee? Is there no other way?"
Gangzi looked at the hoe in Yang Cheng’s hand, his face full of terror.
"Don’t be nervous, this is just a treatment method. You don’t have any sensation, so you need to keep trying. Your leg can’t stand up anyway, even if it gets broken, it won’t affect your future life."
Yang Cheng tried to reassure him with his words, but the more he spoke, the more frightened he became.
"No... I don’t want to be treated anymore."
Gangzi’s lips trembled, cold sweat streaming down.
"Honghong, please take me home. I know my leg; it’s definitely beyond saving. Rather than suffer like this, I’d rather give up treatment."
"How do you know it won’t work unless you try? Gangzi, I’m here with you! Whether you recover or not, I will take care of you."
Yun Hong comforted him softly; she was unyielding, naturally making it harder for others to stop her.
As Yang Cheng walked closer, Gangzi closed his eyes and shouted, "Stop, I can feel it!"
"Buddy, don’t lie. If you can’t endure this small hardship, how can you cure your leg ailment?"
Yang Cheng was indifferent, and the others also thought Gangzi was lying.
Everyone thought this treatment method was absurd, but Yang Cheng had cured three people in a row, so he definitely wasn’t messing around.
Just as he lifted the hoe high, ready to smash down, Gangzi suddenly stood up and shouted, "I’m really cured, look, I can stand up!"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
To think Gangzi’s leg ailment, which had persisted for many years, was cured so casually by the Little Divine Doctor.
"My god! Gangzi’s leg is really healed!"
"What kind of treatment method is this? I don’t understand it."
Everyone looked bewildered. Beside them, Yun Hong recovered from her shock, her expression very excited.
"Gangzi, you can finally stand up, it’s wonderful, hurry and thank the Little Divine Doctor!"
Yun Hong’s eyes were red, crying tears of joy.
She wasn’t crying for the hardship over the years, but because there was hope again for the future.
Not hoping for Gangzi to fully recover, but being able to stand and walk was enough.
Cheers erupted at the scene, but Gangzi’s expression was very complicated and unpleasant, especially when he met Yang Cheng’s sharp gaze, he appeared very guilty.
"This gentleman is truly remarkable, my leg ailment was cured before the treatment even began."
Yang Cheng chuckled lightly, with a trace of mockery in his voice.
"My leg healed a long time ago, but I had no sensation before. It was thanks to the Little Divine Doctor stimulating my leg that I could stand."
Gangzi quickly explained, and everyone else firmly believed it.
"Since you can stand now, try walking a few steps to see how well you’ve recovered."
Yang Cheng smiled meaningfully.
"I still can’t walk."
Gangzi quickly shook his head, then sat back down on the chair.
"At this point, are you still going to pretend?"
Yang Cheng’s smile suddenly vanished, his gaze becoming very sharp.
"Little Divine Doctor, what... what do you mean? I don’t understand."
Gangzi stammered, avoiding his gaze with his head lowered.
"You were injured before, but there was no damage to your bones. Your leg was already fine, but you kept pretending to be paralyzed."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped in disbelief, looking at Gangzi.
"You’re talking nonsense! Everyone in the village knows that after I fell off the mountain, my leg broke; the old doctor can testify for me!"
Gangzi loudly defended himself, but his eyes kept dodging.
"Fractures can also be faked, and the old doctor is aging. If you kept complaining about leg pain, he would think your bone was shattered."
"Shut up! Why would I pretend to be paralyzed? What benefit do I get from this!"
Gangzi shouted angrily, and in his agitation, he nearly ran two steps directly toward Yang Cheng.
"If it wasn’t an act, how did you suddenly start walking?"
Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked.
This instantly reminded the crowd, and they all started to see the situation clearly.
"Yeah! He just said he couldn’t walk, suddenly he can walk, and it’s so stable, something’s not right!"
"Little Divine Doctor wouldn’t lie! Gangzi must have been pretending."
"Gangzi, why would you pretend to be paralyzed? Honghong has been exhausting herself to take care of you all these years!"
At this moment, Yun Hong walked over, grabbing Gangzi’s arm, and asked in a trembling voice, "Gangzi, is what he said true? Were you pretending?"
"No, how could I pretend!"
Gangzi quickly denied it, but the guilt in his eyes betrayed him.
Smack!
Yun Hong raised her hand and slapped him hard, angrily shouting, "You beast, how could I marry a man like you!"
"All these years, I’ve taken care of you every day, risking my life going into the mountains to gather herbs and hunt wild animals. You clearly could stand up, yet you watched me struggle, bearing the burden of this family. Do you have no humanity!"
Gangzi held his face with a look of grievance and said, "You know going into the mountains is dangerous, yet you forced me to go. I was chased by a wild boar and fell off the mountain; it was luck that I didn’t die."
"If I didn’t keep pretending to be paralyzed, you’d definitely make me go into the mountains again. I might die out there someday."
The onlookers, upon hearing this, all displayed expressions of contempt.
"Gangzi, everyone in our village goes to the mountains. Yun Hong went more often than you. You can’t deceive her just because you don’t want to go!"
"You’ve been lying for so many years, watching Yun Hong nearly work herself to death, and you never relented. It’s not wrong to call you a beast!"
"Bastard! You scoundrel, you’ve ruined my daughter!"
At this moment, Yun Hong’s mother rushed over and slapped Gangzi across the face.
"I’ll beat you to death, you beast, useless thing! If I knew you were like this, my daughter would have been better off never marrying than being with you!"
She was filled with anger, and didn’t hold back. A woman who did strenuous work had great strength, and since Gangzi had been indulging in comfort these past years, he had no resistance.
"Ouch! Dad, Mom! Big brother, save me! This mad woman is going to beat me to death!"
Gangzi screamed pitifully, quickly calling for help from his family in the crowd.
His parents and brother were just about to step forward when Yun Chan coldly said, "No one is allowed to help him, this is what he deserves."
Although Yun Chan was very young, as the village chief of Hidden Cloud Village, her authority was unquestionable, and nobody dared to defy her.
Since Yun Chan allowed it, a few aunts who were close to Yun Hong also rushed over, cursing and hitting Gangzi.
Before long, Gangzi lay on the ground, his vile face scratched with blood marks, his clothes torn, and he let out painful wails.
