Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Heal Me, Please

"So what was the result? How did the patient fare?" Huang Xue asked eagerly.Yes, she was excited because she was afflicted with this impulsive addiction syndrome. She didn't know when she had contracted this disease; originally, she thought it was just a bout of spring fever, but then it spiraled out of control.

A few years ago, a highly authoritative institution confirmed her condition, and as her ailment was pinpointed, she fled from her family to this small county town. Memories of the past were also gradually evoked.

"I cured it," Xia Liu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

"You cured it?" Huang Xue looked at Xia Liu in astonishment.

She was very aware of how difficult it was to cure this disease. Her family had spent an enormous amount of money and consulted many doctors to no avail.

If it weren't for the changing looks in her family's eyes each day, she wouldn't have run away from home.

This kind of issue, in any family, would be a disgrace.

Xia Liu smiled faintly and nodded. In reality, he had never encountered that patient; he said so just to calm her down.

Experience tales at M-V-L

This disease he had only read about in the news. However, by sheer coincidence, he guessed right, and this "fairy" actually had the disease.

Upon hearing that Xia Liu had cured this disease, Huang Xue's face changed, and she hurriedly ran to him, then fiercely shook his hands: "Quickly tell me how you cured it! Tell me!"

Huang Xue's eyes moistened again. The disease had troubled her for many years, causing her parents to hang their heads in shame in front of others, driving her friends to stay far away, and bringing her much bitterness and hardship—so much so that she would burst into tears at the thought of it.

But today, Xia Liu said he could cure her illness. How could she remain calm?

"Manager Huang, calm down! Here's the thing: just as the patient was about to have an episode, I helped her solve a problem, and then I suggested she focus on improving her moods and start dating. Ultimately, she got married and gradually got better," Xia Liu explained.

...

Lines of frustration marred Huang Xue's face. What kind of treatment was that? It was utterly ridiculous!

Just as she was about to grab a knife and kill Xia Liu, he chuckled leisurely, "Hehe, I was just kidding. Actually, the main causes of this disease are mental and hormonal imbalances."

Xia Liu was also afraid of this girl; if he didn't start blabbering soon, he would be in trouble.

"Uh, uh, uh..." Hearing this explanation, Huang Xue calmed down, releasing Xia Liu and sitting blankly on the sofa.

"Let me check your pulse first." As he spoke, Xia Liu gently lifted her delicate hand, the silkiness of which almost made him scream.

"The condition is manageable; it can be cured," Xia Liu said solemnly after releasing Huang Xue's hand.

"Mm, so what should I do to get better?" Huang Xue perked up, whether it was true or not, Xia Liu was worth trusting for a little while since he had mentioned her disease.

"Of course, you need to cooperate with me for acupuncture and medication."

"I will cooperate with whatever you recommend, please cure me!"

Xia Liu nodded, seeing how this disease had nearly driven this "fairy" mad.

"How many times a day do you get these impulses now?"

Looking at Xia Liu, who was serious, Huang Xue's face instantly turned red. This question was simply too embarrassing.

"If you don't tell me, how can I understand the condition and decide how much medicine to use?" Seeing Huang Xue remained silent, Xia Liu added fuel to the fire.

"Four times, no wait! Five times, not right either, anyway, it's four or five times." Huang Xue said quietly, head bowed.

Four or five times! What a waste!

Xia Liu strongly swallowed his saliva. Huang Xue was such a goddess, a fairy. Four or five times a day, if all those times were spent on him, he'd probably reach the heavens...

He knew he couldn't inquire further because this had absolutely nothing to do with treating the illness, it was purely his own selfishness interfering.

"Got it, I'll go back to the mountains and find some medicine for you, and I'll treat you when I come over tomorrow."

"Huh? Aren't we starting now?" Huang Xue was a bit nervous; what if Xia Liu was deceiving her, sharing the matter as soon as he left, or what if she couldn't find him tomorrow? What should she do then?

"That won't work, I didn't bring my tools, and I also don't have any medicinal herbs, so I must wait until I'm fully prepared tomorrow." Xia Liu shook his head, and he wasn't lying with this statement; curing this illness was somewhat complicated.

"You can't leave!" Huang Xue insisted on not letting Xia Liu leave. She didn't easily trust people, let alone a man.

"Manager Huang, I know what you're worried about. Rest assured, all my financial dealings are through you. If I dared let this matter leak, I'd lose tens or even hundreds of millions. Spreading it brings me no benefits, only harm. Only an idiot would do that."

Xia Liu understood what the fairy was worried about and thus analyzed the situation.

Hearing this, Huang Xue realized it was indeed the case, so she reminded Xia Liu to come early the next day.

If she heard even a whisper about this outside, she would no longer buy the oysters.

After leaving the hotel, Xia Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, today was indeed dangerous, but he was lucky to have witnessed that scene coveted by countless people.

After suppressing his thoughts, Xia Liu drove to the bank, checked and saw he had $340,000. Checking the source, $140,000 came from Liu Lanxin's account, and $200,000 from Longteng Hotel.

By these calculations, today's atractylodes was 4000 jin, oysters 3200 jin; that fairy, Huang Xue, ended up giving him a few thousand extra. Not bad. Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xia Liu withdrew the full $340,000, out of which atractylodes needed $60,000 and oysters about $100,000. With a total of $440,000 in hand, some would remain after disbursements, but he'd need to make payments daily, so it was necessary to keep more cash at home.

After withdrawing the money, Xia Liu bought three mobile phones at a phone store, and also bought a liquid crystal TV and a washing machine at an electronics mall.

Actually, Zhang Qing had asked him to help buy one phone yesterday and had even given him $2000, which he hadn't accepted. The TV and washing machine were also meant as gifts for Zhang Qing.

After installing his card in the new phone, Xia Liu immediately called Fang Fei.

That beauty said she would buy chicken and ducks at $30 per jin. Since no trucks had entered the village by noon, he needed to hurry them along.

Fang Fei was helpless about this; she explained to Xia Liu that the drivers from the county were not familiar with the road, which is why they couldn't reach Osmanthus Village.

Xia Liu didn't say much about this, briefly exchanged pleasantries, then asked Fang Fei to have the truck wait at the county government entrance, and he would lead the way.

An hour later, on the new road to Osmanthus Village, a pickup truck led the way with two small trucks following behind, and they soon reached the village center.

Xia Liu asked the drivers to wait while he drove to Zhang Qing's home to deliver the TV, the washing machine, and the phone, and also asked her to sell some of the family's chickens and ducks.
