Chapter 1780: Please, I Entrust It to You
"I know a little," Chen Yu said with a straight face.
"Your 'a little' is mastery. I know you Huaxia people like to be humble. Mr. Chen, my sister's illness is entrusted to you." Meizi bowed deeply to Chen Yu again.
"Your sister's eyes are like this because she fell and hit her head years ago; the injury to her brain compressed her optic nerve," Chen Yu said after glancing at Youzi. "It's not a big problem to treat; I just need to clear the blood stasis."
"Then what do you need? I will go prepare it now," Meizi asked, somewhat nervously.
"I don't need anything, this will do." Chen Yu took out the Gold Needle.
"Is this acupuncture?" Meizi asked.
"Yes, it is acupuncture." Chen Yu nodded. "Do you know about this?"
"I know about it. Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture has great utility," Meizi said happily. "People here are quite accepting of it, too."
"I will perform Acupuncture on her now. After the procedure, once the blood stasis in her brain is cleared, she will be able to see," Chen Yu said. "Let's begin now."
"Sister." Youzi reached out her hand toward Meizi, looking a bit nervous.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen will definitely be able to help you." Meizi held her hand tightly and helped her sit down.
Youzi nodded. She closed her eyes and said, "Sir, I am ready."
"Very well, don't be nervous; it will be over very soon." Chen Yu smiled slightly, took out the needle, and began to perform Acupuncture on Youzi.
Youzi was very cooperative; she sat up straight with her eyes closed.
Chen Yu's movements while performing Acupuncture were very fast. Five minutes later, he removed the needles and said, "You can try to open your eyes now, but you must move slowly, because your optic nerves have been in darkness for a long time and might not adapt immediately upon seeing things."
"Sister, can I really do it?"
Youzi was still somewhat nervous; she gripped Meizi's hand tightly, not daring to let go.
"Youzi, you must believe in yourself; you can definitely do it," Meizi said earnestly. "These past years haven't been easy for us. Perhaps the gods have heard our prayers, and perhaps Mom and Dad are watching over us from above. Mr. Chen must have been sent to save us."
Meizi's words and tone were very approachable. Encouraged by her, Youzi gradually overcame her inner fear.
She nodded and then slowly opened her eyes. When she first opened them, there were blurry shadows in her vision.
Gradually, the sight before her eyes became clear.
Finally, she saw everything before her clearly: Chen Yu, her sister Meizi, and the scenery that was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
"I can see, I really can see." Tears welled up in Youzi's eyes. She stood up and hugged Meizi tightly; the two sisters embraced each other closely.
"Sister, so you are this beautiful. I can see, I really can see," Youzi shouted excitedly.
"It's good that you can see. Youzi, I am truly happy for you." Meizi hugged her sister, her own eyes moistening.
Chen Yu, standing to the side, watched the two sisters and smiled slightly. "Do not strain your eyes for a while, and avoid bright light. After some time, you will be just like a normal person."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you so much. You have helped us a great deal." Meizi bowed deeply to Chen Yu.
"It is fate that we could meet," Chen Yu laughed. "I am a bit hungry and would like to taste your cooking."
"No problem, please wait a moment, I will go prepare it now." Meizi nodded, and the two sisters ran off happily.
Chen Yu sat in a small pavilion by the sea behind the house and took a deep breath. Before this picturesque scenery, he felt his heart was incomparably calm.
About an hour later, Youzi came running over, skipping and jumping. "Mr. Chen, it's ready. We can eat now."
"Good." Chen Yu felt refreshed. He could already smell the fragrance of the food; it seemed Meizi's cooking was quite good.
Especially in a place like Fusang where sashimi was rampant, being able to eat a meal of Chinese food was simply a luxury.
The dishes were indeed good and had a very distinct Huaxia character, even better than what some chefs in Chinatown made.
"Mr. Chen, during the time I was in Huaxia, I earnestly studied Chinese cooking for a while. My sister and I also really like the taste of Chinese food, so I studied it specifically. I hope you will like it," Meizi smiled.
"The Chinese food you made is very authentic, even better than the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "It feels no different from the taste of our hometown."
"I studied Chinese cooking earnestly with a master for a while. When it comes to eating, Huaxia people understand it best—the eight great cuisines, stir-frying, roasting, steaming, and deep-frying. Every delicacy has its own characteristics and Spirit," Meizi smiled. "I also like Huaxia very much. I am planning that if my sister's illness is cured one day, I will take her to live in Huaxia."
"Then Huaxia welcomes the arrival of you two sisters," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"If there is a chance, we will definitely go."
After finishing the meal, Chen Yu sat outside for a while and drank a pot of tea. By the time he finished his Meditation and opened his eyes, it was almost dawn.
He did not go out wandering aimlessly; after all, Meizi had already told him not to go out wandering at night. Out of respect for local customs, Chen Yu did not go out.
As for the Snow Woman, Chen Yu did not know if she truly existed, but she was a real entity.
Some of the monsters in Fusang's myths and legends were very eerie existences, like the Snow Woman, who possessed a beautiful appearance and a wonderful singing voice.
While wearing clothes as thin as cicada wings in the ice and snow, she mainly used her pitiful image to seduce people, making them fall into her trap without them even realizing it.
It was just that this thing had disappeared a long time ago, just like the gods, vanishing in that great battle. There should be very few Snow Women left in the world, right?
Just at this moment, a commotion came from the sisters' room, and at the same time, a group of burly men appeared in Chen Yu's Divine Sense.
Chen Yu frowned. This group of burly men came with aggressive intent and were certainly not good people. Moreover, he faintly heard the terrified screams of the two sisters.
With a flash, he appeared in the sisters' room the next second.
He saw five or six burly men with Huahua tattoos all over their bodies barging into the sisters' home, with items in the room pushed over all over the floor.
The bald man in the lead was grabbing Meizi by the head and said fiercely, "Since you can't come up with the money to offer to the Snow Princess, then you sisters are coming with us."
"No, Yamaguchi-kun, I will find a way to raise the money. Please give me a little more time, I beg you."
