Heng Xian suddenly turned his head: "Auntie, if you're not sick, get up and walk a couple steps!"

Heng Yue Ruo, who had been struggling, suddenly sat up from the wooden wheelchair, gritted her teeth and walked a few steps forward.

"Eh..." Wang Sheng Wen was dumbfounded.

The Heng De brothers stood there like wooden chickens.

Even Wang Sheng Chun and his group opposite were stunned; Heng Yue Ruo had been disabled for many years, something everyone knew.

She... actually started walking?!

This...

Heng Xian clasped his fists again: "Honored benefactors, the Heng family will never forget your great kindness; uncle, quickly kowtow to our benefactors!"

Wang Sheng Wen was currently at a loss, but seeing his wife truly stand up, he fell to his knees with a 'plop' before Wang Sheng Chun and his group: "Honored benefactors, allow me to bow to you, waa..."

"Eh..." Wang Sheng Chun and his group were full of question marks.

Heng Xian turned around, shoved a whip and a bottle of pills at the dazed Heng Yue Ruo:

"Take one pill a day, and you'll be healed in a month; use the whip to lash this bunch of idiots, lash them to death, to ease the discomfort after your meridians flow smoothly!"

Heng Yue Ruo's body trembled; she took the pill, picked up the whip, looked at Wang Sheng Chun and his group, her eyes misty with excitement: "Honored ones... I have been rude!"

"Pa!"

"Ouch!"

"You really whipped them!"

The bunch of them grimaced in pain.

Heng Xian sighed: "Uncle..."

"Honored benefactors, your great kindness and virtue will bring boundless blessings; your future cultivation is destined to succeed—please help us!"

"My wife and I, Wang Sheng Wen, will never forget this kindness in this lifetime, aaaa..."

Wang Sheng Wen kowtowed like pounding garlic, crying bitterly.

Wang Sheng Chun and his group stood there stunned, gritted their teeth: "Well, since that's the case, saving people from suffering also counts as accumulating hidden virtue,"

"What's a little fleshly pain? Come on, lash us hard!"

"Pa……"

"Hiss……"

"Benefactor……"

"Pa……"

"Hiss……"

"Benefactor……"

"……"

The Heng De brothers and Heng Xian had already turned and walked away into the distance.

Heng De looked astonished: "Really? This kind of saying? Whipping people can cure them?"

Heng Xian was even more astonished: "Of course not!"

"Then why bother?" The two brothers looked utterly puzzled.

"I just want to whip them, after all, idling is idling!" Heng Xian walked away with his hands behind his back.

"My son, my son……"

"My nephew truly……"

The two brothers, watching Heng Xian's back, were filled with myriad emotions for a moment.
