Chapter 139: A Frenzied Hoarding of Abundant Pills
Fifteen minutes later—
In the courtyard of Anjia Village—
What are you doing here?
As soon as Xia Mo and the others returned, Xia's mother and the others gathered around. Seeing the large basket filled with beggars, Xia's mother asked in surprise.
"Father, Mother, I found someone. All four of his limbs are broken. Can you call a doctor?" Brother Xia said directly that he had found him. His thinking was simple: if his parents blamed him, he would take all the blame.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xia's father nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll go find Village Chief Gao right away and borrow an oxcart to fetch a doctor!"
“No need, I can cure it,” Xia Mo interjected to stop him.
“Well, then we won’t call a doctor,” Xia’s father wanted to ask, but then, remembering how mysterious Xia Mo’s master was, he held back his question.
“In his current condition, even after consulting doctors, they can’t cure him; all the bones in his limbs have been broken,” Xia Mo said.
"His-"
When Xia's mother, who was the most soft-hearted in the family, heard that "his limbs were broken," she gasped sharply.
Xia's father and second brother opened their eyes wide, equally shocked, bewildered, and incredulous.
"That's too ruthless," Xia Erge exclaimed.
“Father, eldest brother, second brother, we know this person too,” Xia Mo said, looking at her father and eldest brother.
Next, these two will be the ones taking care of Lin Fengzhi, and she needs to make that clear in advance.
"Who?"
Xia's father inquired.
“Jishi Medical Clinic, Lin Fengzhi, Doctor Lin, but I suppose when he wakes up, he won’t want to be called Doctor Lin anymore,” Xia Mo shrugged.
"What happened?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Xia's mother pressed for an answer.
“It did happen. He was falsely accused of not being the family’s biological child, of being switched by a servant out of spite. He was kicked out by his grandfather, who loved him the most. His hand… was broken by his father, who hated him. His foot… was broken by his cousin,” Xia Mo said calmly, revealing the truth.
"His-"
"Even if he's not your biological son, there's no need to be so cruel!" Xia's mother said.
"He is the biological son of the Lin family!" Xia Mo said with certainty.
Xia's mother and the others believed Xia Mo's words without hesitation and immediately asked, "Then why are they still..."
“Some people don’t want him to be,” Xia Mo said, tilting her head cutely and asking curiously with her big, bright eyes, “Why?”
Xia's father and the others thought that Xia Mo really didn't understand.
"Let your second brother explain to you," Xia's mother was initially very angry, upset about Lin Fengzhi's situation, but seeing Xia Mo's cute appearance, her heart softened and she stopped being angry. Saving Lin Fengzhi was a way of doing her part.
Xia Mo winked playfully at Xia's father and the others, then stuck out her tongue mischievously.
She actually understood, but she pretended not to, because she didn't want Xia's mother's health to be affected by the intense emotional fluctuations.
"I'm going to wash the water. You two can work a little harder and help him clean up," Xia's mother said as she rushed off to the kitchen.
The kitchen is newly built and has four stoves, including a large stove with a deep pot, which is specifically for boiling water, so that there is no need to boil water in one pot at a time.
Four quarters of an hour later—
After being cleaned up, Lin Fengzhi was helped to lie down on the bed covered with thick blankets, so as not to make him stiff and cause further injury.
Xia's father brought over many thin boards to fix his hands and feet.
In late summer, I started setting bones.
She didn't actually set the bones; she simply aligned the bones in Lin Feng's hands and feet, and then used a bone-growth pill to promote the bones' natural growth.
The spiritual herbs brought back from the cultivation world have half the efficacy in this world, but they still have miraculous effects. However, each one used reduces the supply. It's a pity that even improving the prescription doesn't work. There are no medicinal materials in this world that can be used to refine pills with such effects.
She had already planned to return to her original world, and had frantically stockpiled a large quantity of pills in her soul space, just in case.
To be precise, she brought all the effective pills from the cultivation world to this world, but now only a corner of her soul space has been unsealed, so there aren't many things she can take out.
Of the 100,000 pills needed for bone-strengthening, she could only take out a few dozen, so she had to use them sparingly.
"It's all put together. What's next?" Brother Xia touched the bones to make sure they were in the right position and orientation before fixing them in place with a board.
"Feed him this medicine. This is a bone-regenerating pill given by Master. It's very powerful," Xia Mo said, handing over a small pill.
Xia's mother immediately poured water, and Xia's father, supporting his head, fed Lin Fengzhi while he was lying down.
The medicine dissolved and took effect as soon as it entered his throat, causing a tingling, itchy pain that made Lin Fengzhi groan in pain.
Xia Mo then used his divine sense to completely immobilize Lin Feng's limbs, ensuring he wouldn't move around.
"It hurts... Waaah..."
The pain emanating from his bones was the most unbearable, and Lin Fengzhi groaned in agony.
Xia's mother couldn't bear to watch any longer and stopped talking.
Xia's father and the others stared in amazement at Lin Fengzhi, whose body was twisting on the bed but whose limbs remained still.
Xia's father asked, "It's working already?"
"The elixir given by my master takes effect immediately upon ingestion," Xia Mo explained with a grin.
"Then...can he get better?" Xia's mother dared not look at Lin Fengzhi, who was twisting and turning.
"Yes," Xia Mo answered decisively.
Upon hearing that things could get better, Xia's mother breathed a sigh of relief; Lin Fengzhi's suffering had not been in vain.
One hour later—
Lin Fengzhi stopped groaning in pain, but he still moved around and tried to scratch the itch with his hands.
“We can wake him up now,” Xia Mo said, and then used a silver needle to prick Lin Feng’s philtrum.
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused and dazed.
"Wake up, wake up!"
Moved, Xia's mother rushed to the bedside and asked softly, "Child, are you alright?"
Lin Fengzhi's eyes widened in astonishment, his gaze finally focusing as he remembered what he had been through. Tears welled up and rolled down his cheeks.
"Tsk, you used to seem like a real man, but now... you've turned into a child?" Xia Mo deliberately used a mocking tone.
When Lin Fengzhi heard that familiar voice that haunted his dreams again, he turned around in surprise and looked at Xia Mo. He wanted to wipe away his tears so as not to show his disheveled state.
Xia Mo frowned her pretty little eyebrows and said, "Don't move. Your limbs need to rest for a while before they are fully healed. The new bones are too tender and can't withstand your rough handling."
"Yes, yes, don't be silly, just talk while lying down. Are you thirsty?" Xia's mother asked excitedly.
Lin Fengzhi felt maternal love from Xia's mother, and tears welled up in his eyes once again.
Lin Fengzhi is currently in a very fragile physical and mental state. He is still alive because he still has 10% of his luck left, which is why he was able to escape death. But if he loses all 10% of his luck, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lin Fengzhi didn't want to shed tears, but after experiencing hellish cruelty, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed when someone was still willing to help him, warm his heart, and care for him.
