In the consultation room, only the sound of the Chinese medicine doctor Hu writing briskly with his pen could be heard as he said, "Send someone to get the medicine."
After the prescription was taken away, Doctor Hu spoke up, "First, follow my treatment, taking medicine orally and applying it externally. If your leg regains sensation, it can be cured." Otherwise, it cannot be cured.
"Thank you, Doctor Hu."
Du Chang was visibly excited, his hands trembling as he placed them on Pei Yicheng’s shoulder, so happy he didn’t know what to say. Being a doctor himself, Du Chang was acutely aware that Doctor Hu must have a certain level of confidence to prescribe a treatment, unlike the places they had visited before where they didn’t even get the chance to try any treatment.
Cheng Hao shouted excitedly, dancing with joy. The heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart for over a year was finally lifted!
"Yicheng, I told you, your leg would heal."
Ling Dong’s eyes reddened with excitement. He had spent the longest time by Pei Yicheng’s side. Pei Yicheng was such a proud person; Ling Dong had seen all his suffering, his pain, his frustration, and he felt the injustice even more keenly than Yicheng did.
Yicheng had done a good deed, saving someone, so why couldn’t his leg heal?
Ling Dong had cursed the heavens for being unfair countless times, but now, he believed that the heavens would not let down a good person!
Compared to their excitement, the man himself, Pei Yicheng, was the calmest of them all. Ever since he harbored a never-give-up mindset, he had thought that his leg would definitely heal, even after encountering setbacks, his heart remained filled with hope.
Du Chang was also a doctor, and coincidentally, there were no patients at the moment. When Pei Yicheng and the others went to apply the medicine, Du Chang began discussing Pei Yicheng’s leg with Doctor Hu.
Du Chang and Doctor Hu hit it off immediately, each with their own strengths in medicine, and in just half a day, Du Chang and Doctor Hu were already addressing each other as brothers.
"Doctor Hu, I’ve truly learned a lot today."
From the bottom of his heart, Du Chang expressed his gratitude. He felt that this trip was worthwhile, as they might heal Yicheng and he got to meet Doctor Hu.
"Brother Du, don’t be modest. If it weren’t for the massages you’ve given on your grandson’s leg muscles from the beginning, preventing atrophy, I would have been at a loss," Doctor Hu said with a smile, curiosity sparkling in his eyes. He asked, "His leg maintenance is even better than that of a normal person. Do you have a unique massage technique?"
"I don’t have any special techniques; at first, it was just the simplest method. Later on, I heard about a set of massage techniques that seemed quite effective, so I had someone perform it on Yicheng," Du Chang explained every word in great detail, sharing both of his massage methods.
The first set was what he had learned himself; the second set was found in a book by Xu Nianhua.
Doctor Hu’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He slapped his thigh and said, "The second set of massage techniques is exceptionally skilled; it stimulated the acupoints in his leg. I knew it! How his leg not only did not atrophy but was actually better maintained than that of an average person."
"Speaking of which, he’s lucky to have you, a grandfather proficient in medical arts, who has been massaging his leg from the beginning, occasionally applying acupuncture, and then following up with that set of massage techniques," Doctor Hu said, smiling until his eyes were mere slits. "Your grandson is truly blessed."
If he hadn’t employed the second set of massage techniques, it would have taken at least twice as long for his leg to heal.
