"Little Shan, you, you said you had something to tell me, why aren't you speaking?" Yu Xiuxiu anxiously asked after not hearing Zhang Xiaoshan continue speaking for a long while.
Coming back to his senses, Zhang Xiaoshan changed his tone, excitedly speaking to Yu Xiuxiu.
"Sister-in-law, I've found a way to cure your eyes."
Yu Xiuxiu's body shuddered with extreme joy, but her face quickly turned gloomy again.
"I'm aware of my condition, it's incurable. Maybe there's a chance in a big hospital abroad, but the medical costs are astronomical. Forget it, you're about to get married too, we need to prepare the dowry for the bride."
"Sister-in-law, I've gotten used to this already." Though she said this, there was still undeniable sadness in Yu Xiuxiu's eyes.
Zhang Xiaoshan continued speaking.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to go abroad, and you don't need to spend a penny, I can cure your illness."
Yu Xiuxiu shook her head and sighed.
"Little Shan, I appreciate your intentions, but many chief doctors in big hospitals can't do anything about my eye disease. You've only studied medicine for two years and you don't have the professional equipment, let's not talk about it."
"No, sister-in-law, I'm serious. I've found a traditional Chinese medical treatment that can really cure your eyes. Trust me, please, let me beg you, let me try, okay?"
Deep down, Yu Xiuxiu, of course, wished to one day see the world again herself.
"Traditional Chinese medicine? Then give it a try..."
Hearing his sister-in-law agree, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately fetched a small stool for Yu Xiuxiu and took out her needlework box to begin the treatment.
One by one, the embroidery needles pierced Yu Xiuxiu's scalp, and she winced in pain.
Although it was his first time using Dragon Girl's Life-Giving Thirty-Six Needles, the inheritance was truly miraculous, with a model in his mind constantly demonstrating to Zhang Xiaoshan in an easy-to-understand manner. All Zhang Xiaoshan had to do was follow the model's actions.
After just a few minutes, the procedure with the Life-Giving Thirty-Six Needles was completed, and Yu Xiuxiu's face was extremely red.
"Little Shan, there won't be any problems, right? My head feels so hot, especially my eyes, as if they're being burned by fire."
Yu Xiuxiu's words excited Zhang Xiaoshan.
His sister-in-law's eyes had always been numb, and now feeling the scorching pain was already a sign of progress.
"Sister-in-law, just bear with it. Once I dissolve the blood clots in your head, you'll be able to see."
He massaged Yu Xiuxiu's temples, forehead, and crown of her head...
With Zhang Xiaoshan's manipulations, Yu Xiuxiu felt her head buzzing, as if something was pulsating, and sticky fluids slowly oozed from her eye sockets—some pus and blood.
"Ah, my eyes, my eyes are killing me, ah..."
Suddenly, Yu Xiuxiu pushed Zhang Xiaoshan away and crouched on the ground, screaming in agony.
"My eyes, my eyes, so painful..."
"Little Shan, I feel like my eyes are swelling, as if they're about to explode, it hurts so much..." Yu Xiuxiu crouched on the ground, covering her eyes, screaming incessantly, while thick pus flowed through her fingers.
"Did I, mess up?" Zhang Xiaoshan was at a loss, as it was his first time using the medical skills from the Dragon Girl's inheritance, and he was not entirely sure.
"Sister-in-law, don't panic, I'll... I'll call an ambulance right away and take you to the hospital."
Suddenly, Yu Xiuxiu's hand clasped Zhang Xiaoshan's wrist.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Zhang Xiaoshan froze. How could his sister-in-law grasp his wrist with such precision?
"Little Shan, I... I think I can see light..."
Yu Xiuxiu stopped screaming, her tone softened, and her expression was filled with astonishment and surprise.
She rubbed her eyes vigorously, slowly adjusted to the light, looked up, and saw the rising sun, drifting white clouds, green Qingshan in the distance, and a picturesque scene.
Her once dark and lonely world was now filled with vibrant colors...
Although there were still shadows and blurs, it was a sight nonetheless.
Unable to hold back her tears, they streamed down her cheeks as her graceful body shook. She looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, covered her mouth with her hand, and said excitedly,
"Little Shan, I... I can see, I see you, I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan stared at Yu Xiuxiu's eyes, which had regained their luster, shining like bright stars, so beautiful.
"It's wonderful, I... I did it, I finally did it."
Zhang Xiaoshan also shed tears of excitement; his greatest wish was to have Yu Xiuxiu, who had always taken such good care of him, regain her sight. He had thought it was impossible in this lifetime, but today, he had done it... The source of this content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Little Shan, thank you, I'm so grateful, I... I never dared to dream that I would really regain my sight one day."
Yu Xiuxiu embraced Zhang Xiaoshan's neck and broke down crying.
Although they had relied on each other for support, they had never had such an intimate moment before. Zhang Xiaoshan remained stiff and did not dare to move.
Just as the two shared an affectionate moment, the gate to Zhang Xiaoshan's home was kicked open with a loud bang.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, come the hell out here for me."
