Chapter 585: Dislocation

"Yes, the fall was too severe. Even the Witch Doctor in the village had no way to help; he could only use some trauma medicine to dull the pain. His two legs are effectively ruined." A hint of helplessness appeared on the old woman's face.

"I am a Yisheng. Let me take a look at him; perhaps there is still a way," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Really? That would be wonderful. Thank you so much, guest from outside." The old woman looked at Chen Yu with gratitude, then led him to another side room.

In this room, a young man in his twenties was lying on the bed. His legs could not move, and an old man was feeding him a meal.

The young man's face was pale and gaunt; it was clear he had endured much suffering since breaking his legs.

"Old man, this is Mr. Chen. He is a Yisheng. He has come to see if our son's legs can still be cured," the old woman said as she walked into the room.

"Is he a guest from outside?" The old man looked at Chen Yu with some suspicion, his expression hesitant.

They had never left the Mountain in their entire lives; the furthest they had ever been was the cliff at the easternmost edge of the valley. Whenever people in their village fell ill, it was always resolved by the Witch Doctor passed down through generations.

Moreover, they believed in the Witch God and the Gu Ancestor, so now that Chen Yu had taken the initiative to say he could cure his son's legs, he was somewhat skeptical and also a bit displeased.

"Yes, he is a guest from outside. Today, he even helped our village deal with the leeches in the pond," the old woman said. "Mr. Chen is here, let him try, old man."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Chen." The old man hesitated for a moment, and although his expression remained doubtful, he stepped aside to let Chen Yu take a look.

Chen Yu walked forward, smiled at the young man, and then lifted the quilt. After lifting the quilt, his brow could not help but furrow.

The young man was wearing only a pair of shorts, and his two legs were pitch black. It seemed they had been coated with some unknown ointment, and a pungent odor rushed toward him.

"What is this?" Chen Yu looked at the layer of medicine smeared on his legs, his brows locking even tighter.

"This is medicine prescribed by our Witch Doctor, used for pain relief and blood circulation, and it has a certain restorative effect on broken bones," the old man said hurriedly. "Erwa's legs have been broken for so long, I fear there is no hope."

Chen Yu touched the site of the broken bones with his hand, then revealed a strange expression.

"Mr. Chen, what is it?" The old woman saw that Chen Yu's expression seemed wrong, and she instantly became nervous.

"After his legs were broken, didn't you take him to a hospital outside to have them checked?" Chen Yu asked.

"We can only stay in the valley here; we cannot get outside. To the east is a cliff, to the west is a swamp, to the south are heavy layers of Mountains, and to the north is the Wugu Forest. When we get sick, we can only rely on the Witch Doctor in the village," the old woman sighed and said.

"This is not a fracture; it is just a dislocation. If you had gone outside, even if you didn't go to a big hospital, finding an experienced practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine would have had it set in no time," Chen Yu sighed.

It seems this secluded paradise, cut off from the world, is not necessarily a good place. The generation gap with the modern world is truly too great; a common dislocation here can almost cost a person their Life.

"Ah, what is a dislocation? Is there still a way now?" The old couple could not help but be stunned.

"Originally, it wasn't a big problem, but because it has been so long since the fall, the dislocated joints have grown deformed. However, it is not impossible. I need to break the healed joints again and set them straight. The process is a bit painful; you will have to endure it," Chen Yu said.

"Erwa, it will be a bit painful, you must endure it. Mr. Chen's medical skills are very formidable, even more so than the Witch Doctor in our village," the old woman said, looking up.

The old man's expression was somewhat displeased, as he had a very high faith in the Witch Clan, and the Witch Doctor was a great power in the village. His own wife saying the Witch Doctor was not good made him unhappy.

"This gentleman, please go ahead," Erwa said with a hint of a smile on his pale face. "I can endure it."

"Very well, I am starting. Endure it, it will be over soon." Chen Yu smiled. He placed his hands on Erwa's legs, took a light breath, and then suddenly exerted force with both hands. With two 'Crack!' sounds, the already healed broken bones were snapped apart by him again.

Erwa on the bed let out a miserable scream. He was naturally quite resilient; he hadn't made a sound since breaking his legs until now, but he was in such pain that it was enough to prove how agonizing it was.

The old couple watched from the side with their hands trembling. The old woman was actually the one who got scared and stepped forward to stop him, but she was blocked by the old man.

Chen Yu moved both hands in succession. 'Crack, crack!' The broken bones in both legs were forcibly set back into place. Erwa was sweating profusely from the pain and nearly fainted. Chen Yu took out pain-relieving and blood-activating medicine for him to take.

Then he performed Acupuncture to channel Qi, forcibly healing the meridians at the site of the broken bones. It took a full half hour before Chen Yu stopped the needles.

"It is done. Try to move your legs, then get out of bed and walk a few steps."

Chen Yu's words took the old couple by surprise. They couldn't help but look at each other, not quite believing Chen Yu's words.

After all, the broken bones had just healed; no matter how great the medical skills, shouldn't it take a few months of recovery? Chen Yu was asking someone to get out of bed and walk right after finishing Acupuncture? This seemed a bit unrealistic.

Yet, to the old couple's dumbfounded expressions, their son supported himself on the edge of the bed with both hands, exerted force, and actually stood up, then walked a few steps forward while leaning against the wall.

"Erwa, your legs can move? You can walk?" The old couple was incredibly excited; they couldn't believe their eyes.

Chen Yu was able to cure his son's broken legs with just a little Acupuncture, and the results were immediate—he could stand up right away. This was not something their so-called Witch Doctor could compare to.

"It's healed, I can stand up," Erwa wept with joy.

His older brother had passed away early, and he was the only one left in the family. With his parents elderly, he had been thinking about how to end his own life so as not to be a burden to his parents ever since he broke his legs.

But he never dreamed that he would have a day where he could stand up again.

"Alright, hurry and sit down to rest." Chen Yu saw he was fine and finally let out a breath. "Your injury needs quiet rest for half a month, and you need to take some medicine."

As Chen Yu spoke, he wrote down the prescription, then he paused. This place was a secluded paradise, almost completely cut off from the world; even if he wrote the prescription, there was nowhere to get the medicine.

His thoughts shifted: "I will go to your Mountain to gather this medicine later; you cannot get medicine here."

"Good, good, thank you, Mr. Chen. We will never forget this great kindness in our lifetime," the couple said to Chen Yu excitedly.

After Chen Yu returned, everyone continued to eat, but the old couple was even more enthusiastic than before. After the meal, everyone went back to their respective places.

It was just that Chen Yu and Ye Xinyu were pretending to be a couple, so the two naturally had to stay in one room at night.

"Chen Yu, I warn you, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about my sister, I will dig out your eyes." Ye Qinglong strongly opposed Chen Yu and Ye Xinyu staying together.
