"Of course!" Lin Xiao Tian nodded confidently when faced with Guo Lin Qing's question.
In today's world, cancer is a word that strikes fear into everyone's hearts. However, the Shen Nong Medical Codex Lin Xiao Tian inherited was an ancient and mystical text. Even bringing people back from the brink of death was considered a moderate feat, let alone curing cancer.
"I'll write you a prescription, and then after three days, I'll give you acupuncture. Three courses of treatment will be enough for a complete recovery."
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian's confident gaze, Guo Lin Qing was stunned.
When she had first learned about the necessary surgery, Guo Lin Qing felt as if the sky was falling.
She had always preserved her purity, hoping to offer this source of pride to the man she loved in the future. Yet, she was told she would need to have half of her breast removed. How could she accept this?
For days, this matter had weighed heavily on her, leaving her dispirited.
If Lin Xiao Tian's words were true, it would be an immense joy for Guo Lin Qing!
But... was Lin Xiao Tian truly not lying?
Her condition had been diagnosed by medical equipment. Even with human judgment, a physical examination would be necessary. Yet, Lin Xiao Tian had just accurately stated her problem without touching her.
Could Lin Xiao Tian diagnose her illness just by looking?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Unless Lin Xiao Tian had X-ray vision!
"Xiao Tian, how did you know about my condition? Just by looking?" Guo Lin Qing asked.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded, offering no definitive answer.
"This..." Guo Lin Qing still didn't believe him.
"Did I say something wrong?" Lin Xiao Tian retorted.
"No, you didn't. You were right."
"Then that's all that matters. You can do as I say. Of course, you are also free to choose not to believe me."
Lin Xiao Tian had never liked to force others. Helping Guo Lin Qing with her illness stemmed from a sense of responsibility as a doctor. If Guo Lin Qing was unwilling, he would never push her.
Looking at Lin Xiao Tian's calm expression, and recalling that he had indeed correctly identified her symptoms, Guo Lin Qing hesitated before finally choosing to trust him.
"Then let's exchange WeChat first." Guo Lin Qing took out her phone.
Soon, they had added each other.
"I'm not very used to using my phone. I'll send you the prescription later. And there's one more thing I need to remind you about..." Lin Xiao Tian paused here.
"Xiao Tian, from now on, you are my primary physician. If there's anything, just say it. Don't hesitate."
"Alright!"
Seeing Guo Lin Qing's straightforwardness, Lin Xiao Tian no longer held back. He continued,
"This prescription has the effect of invigorating blood and dispelling stasis. However, your breasts are quite large, and there is a disease present. To ensure the full efficacy of the medicine, after you take it each time, try to massage the area as much as possible."
Hearing this, Guo Lin Qing's cheeks flushed crimson.
"Um... how long should I massage for?"
"Don't worry about the time. Just massage until you feel a slight warmth. Remember not to use too much force."
"Mmm-hmm..." Guo Lin Qing's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"One more thing... have you often felt chest tightness and pain since puberty?" Lin Xiao Tian continued to ask.
Guo Lin Qing nodded. Looking at Lin Xiao Tian, she felt as if she were completely exposed before him.
"Remember to massage frequently!" Lin Xiao Tian said earnestly.
Guo Lin Qing was already mortified. If there had been a crack in the ground, she would have gladly burrowed into it.
"Thank you!" Guo Lin Qing bowed to Lin Xiao Tian. Her prominent cleavage seemed to bow in respect as well.
Just then, Xia Qing Ling hurried them from behind. Guo Lin Qing expressed her gratitude to Lin Xiao Tian again and then practically fled the scene.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled and said nothing more.
The group left by the village's donkey cart. Guo Lin Qing looked back at Lin Xiao Tian at the village entrance, watching his retreating figure disappear.
At that moment, a message popped up on her WeChat.
Guo Lin Qing opened it to find the prescription sent by Lin Xiao Tian. He had also added specific dietary restrictions during the treatment, such as abstaining from sexual relations. This made Guo Lin Qing quite angry.
She was an unmarried woman who hadn't even had a boyfriend yet!
"What's wrong? Your face has been red since we started," Xia Qing Ling asked, eyeing her curiously.
"N-nothing. I'm just a bit warm." To hide her embarrassment, Guo Lin Qing made a fanning gesture.
"You sly fox, don't think I don't know. Tell me, who were you just chatting with? Were you flirting with that wild man, and now you're all worked up?" Xia Qing Ling pounced on Guo Lin Qing.
Guo Lin Qing jumped in surprise and quickly clutched her phone protectively.
"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"We'll know soon enough if I'm talking nonsense. Quick, let me see your phone!" Xia Qing Ling declared, reaching to snatch Guo Lin Qing's phone.
Guo Lin Qing would never let her succeed. Her chat history with Lin Xiao Tian was on there, and if Xia Qing Ling saw it, she would be too embarrassed to live.
The two girls began to tussle, snatching and pulling. On such a hot day, and dressed so lightly, the scene was incredibly alluring.
Xu Qing He, standing nearby, had a decent amount of self-control, but the villagers driving the donkey cart were staring wide-eyed.
"Villagers, be careful of the cliff ahead!" Xu Qing He shouted, having spotted a precipice.
"Whoa, that was a close one!"
The villager controlling the cart was startled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, or all of them would have met their end today!
Xu Qing He glanced at the two girls again. They were still squabbling and wrestling. He couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed he would have to stay alert throughout the journey!
"By the way, did you get Lin Xiao Tian's WeChat just now?" Xia Qing Ling suddenly asked.
Guo Lin Qing was startled, wondering if Xia Qing Ling had guessed that she had been chatting with Lin Xiao Tian.
"Darn it!" Xia Qing Ling put her hands on her hips. "That Lin Xiao Tian lied to me earlier, saying he didn't have a phone or WeChat. He's so wicked!"
Hearing Xia Qing Ling's words, Guo Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine... there'll be plenty of opportunities in the future to teach him a lesson," Guo Lin Qing echoed Xia Qing Ling's sentiment.
"Right! Plenty of opportunities. We'll see!" Xia Qing Ling declared, and then her hand strayed back to Guo Lin Qing's ample bosom.
"Whoa..."
The driver of the donkey cart let out another startled cry, nearly tipping them over again!
Meanwhile, after sending the message to Guo Lin Qing, Lin Xiao Tian returned to the pond.
Currently, selling fish was his most profitable venture, and he didn't want any unexpected problems.
Huang Mao and his group had been waiting for Lin Xiao Tian. Without him, they couldn't catch any fish.
When they saw Lin Xiao Tian appear, they immediately swarmed him.
"Brother Tian, when do we start working?"
"Yeah! Brother Tian, it's already halfway through the morning. We brothers can't wait."
Lin Xiao Tian was very pleased with the enthusiastic Huang Mao and the others. Only with their eagerness could Lin Xiao Tian earn more.
Next, Lin Xiao Tian took out a bag of medicine.
This was a substance that could reduce the oxygen concentration in the water, allowing them to catch fish from the lake.
Just as Lin Xiao Tian was about to hand over the medicine, he suddenly noticed that Er Guai was not there.
Er Guai had promised to help him manage the fish pond. He was a reliable person and should have been here by now. Why was he absent?
"Where's Brother Er Guai? Where did he go?"
"Brother Er Guai? The village chief came and called him away," Huang Mao replied.
"Li De Ping?" Lin Xiao Tian frowned.
Why would Li De Ping, of all people, be looking for Er Guai?
Could he be up to no good again?
Lin Xiao Tian decided to go find Er Guai.
Just then, Er Guai appeared in the distance.
"Brother Er Guai, I heard Li De Ping called you over. What happened?" Lin Xiao Tian approached Li Er Guai.
Li Er Guai sighed, looking at Lin Xiao Tian with a helpless expression.
"Xiao Tian, Li De Ping is a scoundrel!"
