Chapter 132: Anger

The fire trucks had already arrived, and most of the fire had been extinguished; several firefighters were in the scorched earth, using hoses to spray the remaining flames.

The neighbors from the surrounding area had all come out carrying large and small buckets. Zhao Lao sat to one side, dejected; his eyes were bloodshot, and he could not stop the tears from falling.

"Zhao Lao, where is Anran?" Chen Yu hurried over.

"Little Chen, Anran, she was burned, large-area burns." Seeing Chen Yu, Zhao Lao finally could not help but burst into loud sobs; the man in his sixties was crying like a child.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone out for a while, maybe this wouldn't have happened. She was all alone in the shop. What will she do in the future? Her beautiful hair is gone, and her face and body are severely burned. Why wasn't it me who got burned?"

"Zhao Lao, don't be anxious yet. I will go to the hospital to see her immediately. Rest assured, I will return a beautiful granddaughter to you." Chen Yu grasped Zhao Lao's hand and said in a deep voice, "Has the cause of the fire been found?"

"They are still investigating, but the conclusion reached is that it was caused by dry weather and aging wiring. The house was also a wooden structure, so it got out of control." Zhao Lao wept uncontrollably.

"Zhao Lao, don't be sad anymore. Little Chen Yisheng's medical skills are so high, he will definitely be able to cure Anran. You should go to my house to rest first," a neighbor sighed.

"Right, please rest assured, Zhao Lao. I will definitely return a beautiful granddaughter to you." Chen Yu comforted him, "You go rest first, I am going to the hospital."

Guangming Hospital, intensive care unit.

Zhao Anran had large-area burns over her entire body, her beautiful long hair had been burned away completely, and large areas of her body were festering. When Chen Yu saw her, she was still in a coma.

Chen Yu's heart trembled slightly. He walked forward and peeled away the gauze on Zhao Anran's body layer by layer; the festering wounds on her body were shocking to Chen Yu.

"What are you doing? Stop." A Yisheng rushed over, "The patient is very serious and already has an infection. She needs a second surgery now. Are you trying to kill her by removing the bandages?"

"Get out." Chen Yu raised his head abruptly and glanced coldly at that Yisheng.

The icy gaze made that Yisheng's expression freeze. His hand holding the file trembled slightly, and his whole body felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Doctor Zhou, come out. This is Chen Yisheng, that Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who is currently the talk of Xinglinju." A leader hurried over to give instructions.

Chen Yu continued to remove the bandages, and that Yisheng finally let out a breath and went out, still feeling lingering fear.

Chen Yu removed the bandages from her body and took out Silver Needles. His hands were like lightning; dozens of Silver Needles were inserted into Zhao Anran's body in the blink of an eye.

After the acupuncture, he channeled his True Qi and Original Spirit, and Zhao Anran slowly opened her eyes.

The doctors outside the glass door were all stunned. They opened their eyes wide and held their breath as they watched everything in the room. They knew Zhao Anran's injuries were extremely severe and it was impossible for her to wake up now, but she woke up after Chen Yu inserted a few needles?

That face, burned beyond recognition, could no longer show any expression, but Chen Yu knew she must be in great pain.

Her throat moved, but she could not make a sound. Chen Yu took out another needle, pricked several major acupoints on her throat, and channeled a wisp of True Qi into her.

"Chen Yu..." Zhao Anran made a weak, hoarse sound.

"I'm here." Chen Yu stepped forward and leaned his ear to her lips.

"I... I'm afraid the fish jelly I made for you is all gone. I can only... make it for you another day." Zhao Anran's words made Chen Yu's eyes turn red.

The food she made was delicious, and Chen Yu had mentioned that the fish jelly was very good, yet she had kept it in her heart. If she hadn't been in the kitchen preparing the fish jelly, perhaps she wouldn't have been burned like this.

"Then you must get better quickly, so you can make it for me," Chen Yu said softly.

"Am I... very ugly now?" Zhao Anran's body twitched slightly; she was crying.

But, burned as severely as she was, even shedding a single tear was a luxury.

"Not ugly." Chen Yu comforted her, "Rest assured, my medical skills are unparalleled. Give me three days, and I guarantee I can make you as beautiful as you were before."

"But even my hair is gone..." Zhao Anran's voice choked with sobs.

"It will grow back. It will grow back in half a month." Chen Yu said, "You just sleep peacefully now. When you wake up, everything will be better. Believe me."

Zhao Anran closed her eyes and nodded slightly. Chen Yu pressed on her neck, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Yu took a deep breath; it felt as if something was blocking his chest, and it was very uncomfortable.

Steadying himself, he took a small bottle from his bosom. Inside the small bottle was an ointment he had made using Precious Grade medicine, which could treat burns and scalds with miraculous effects.

Chen Yu applied the ointment evenly onto his hands, then applied a thin layer onto her wounds.

The raw material for this medicine was 'Five Treasure Seeds', a Precious Grade medicine. Chen Yu had added dozens of cooling, pain-relieving, and skin-moisturizing medicines, which, besides allowing the wounds to heal quickly, could also rapidly promote skin regeneration.

However, for this level of burns, these alone were not enough.

After Chen Yu finished applying the medicine to her wounds, he took two apricot-yellow Talisman Papers from his bosom. He joined his fingers into a Sword Finger and wiped them across his left palm, leaving a wound on his left palm.

Chen Yu placed the Talisman Papers on the table, then changed his hands into a Dao Seal, gave a clear shout, and pointed his left hand at the two Talisman Papers.

"What is he doing?" The few doctors watching outside were in an uproar. If it were these large-area burns, acupuncture and applying medicine could be understood, but what was he doing taking out two pieces of yellow paper, cutting his palm, and waving his hands around?

Immediately after, two drops of fresh blood from his palm dripped onto the Talisman Papers. The two Talisman Papers suddenly floated up out of thin air and fell into a bowl of clear water to the side.

Boom... Firelight erupted, and the two Talisman Papers dissolved into the clear water. The strange thing was that after the Talisman was integrated into the bowl of clear water, it remained incomparably clear, without any paper scraps or ash.

"Is this the 'Talisman Blessing Technique'?" An old man watching outside suddenly blurted out.

"Yu Lao, what is the Talisman Blessing Technique?" a doctor asked.

This old man was a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who possessed a family-inherited method for treating bruises and burns. Wounds that required skin grafts to heal could be cured by him with just a few plasters, and the hospital director treated him like a treasure.

"My family-inherited medical records mentioned it. It belongs to the Taoist Talismans lineage. The early Taoist Five Pecks of Rice, Way of Peace, Lingbao Sect Sect Sect, and Shangqing Sect all belonged to the Talismans lineage. It is rumored that they can use Talismans and magical arts to cure illnesses and drive away evil," the old man said with an excited expression.

"Can this water cure illnesses?" a young doctor said disdainfully, "Yu Lao, don't tease us. Looking at his posture, this looks no different from a street shaman. It's just nonsense."

"Young people speak without restraint. Just watch," Yu Lao snorted and watched intently without blinking.

Chen Yu held the bowl of water, his True Qi sank, and most of the water in the bowl suddenly surged out, floating in mid-air.

He pointed with his right hand, and the water in mid-air instantly condensed into a mist, then fell from above, sprinkling evenly onto Zhao Anran's body.
