Chapter 1181: Chapter 7: Healing Hands Restore Life
"Bo Bo! You sick woman, why are you so unreasonable. Dear master, letâs just ignore them," Bo Bo grumbled.
So not only was the other party ungrateful that its own master had saved her daughter, she was actually afraid the master would drag them down with her. Totally unable to tell good from bad, Bo Bo was furious.
"Bo Bo, take the little girl outside first, I have a few words to say to this madam," Yun Sheng wasnât angry at all; in her eyes, the woman was just like an unreasonable patient making a scene.
Besides, the two of them were a widowed mother and orphaned child; being afraid of revenge was normal.
Bo Bo had no choice but to unwillingly take Yingying out.
"Bo Bo Realm God? My mother wonât be in danger, will she?" After they left the tile kiln, Yingyingâs little face was full of worry.
She was afraid Yun Sheng would get upset and refuse to treat her mother.
"What could happen? Hmph. My dear masterâs Medical Skill is unmatched under heaven. Even if your mother only has one breath left, she can turn her into a lively, bouncing living person for you," Bo Bo looked utterly disgusted.
They were all people, but compared to its own master, how come these Human Clan of the Bahuang Continent were so spineless.
The sun had completely set.
Inside the tile kiln, it was pitch-dark.
The woman was still watching Yun Sheng with a wary expression.
"Madam, itâs fine if you donât let me treat you, but what you have is tuberculosis. Yingying has been living with you long-term and will also get infected. Besides, after you die, what do you plan to do with your daughter?" Yun Shengâs words made the womanâs expression change yet again.
Her own life had long ceased to matter, but what would become of her daughter?
"Since early death or late death is all death, you might as well let me take a look at your illness," Yun Sheng said, then drew a Lighting Magic Array on the ground.
The light from the Lighting Magic Array instantly lit up the tile kiln.
Seeing that magical Magic Array, Yingyingâs motherâs expression softened quite a bit.
"You... you really are a Doctor? Can my illness still be saved?" She was wracked by another bout of violent coughing.
This tuberculosisâwhether on the Wuji Continent or on the Bahuang Continentâwas a death sentence for commoners.
It cost money and was contagious, so most patients with tuberculosis were abandoned by their families.
Yingying and her Mother had originally lived in the civilian cave. Because Yingyingâs mother came down with tuberculosis and had no way of going to town to find a Doctor, they were dumped in this abandoned tile kiln.
Little Yingying couldnât bear to see her Mother suffer here alone, so she secretly ran away from home, and for the past few years had survived by begging everywhere.
After hearing the woman explain what had happened, Yun Sheng felt deep sympathy for this mother and daughter.
For Yun Sheng, who possessed modern medical knowledge, tuberculosis was not incurable.
Although she didnât have anti-inflammatory drugs in the modern sense, Yun Sheng had Life Water, which could let necrotic blood and meridians regain their Life Force.
"Your illness isnât hard to treat. Iâll start treating you now," Yun Sheng said, took out some Life Water, diluted it, and fed it to Yingyingâs mother.
Over the next few days, Yun Sheng and Bo Bo both temporarily lived in the tile kiln.
Yingyingâs mother felt very apologetic about her earlier rash behavior.
Bo Bo and Yingying got along harmoniously, and for the first time, laughter rang out in the shabby tile kiln.
The effects of Life Water were miraculous; after Yingyingâs mother drank it, her condition was quickly brought under control.
Seeing her Motherâs health improve day by day, a smile finally appeared on Yingyingâs little face.
Her clothes were still ragged, but after the dirt on her face was washed away, her pair of round, bright eyes and delicate brows revealed that she was a little beauty in the making, very endearing.
She had a sweet tongue; all day long whenever she saw Yun Sheng, she called her "Sister" with great enthusiasm.
Yun Sheng also unexpectedly discovered that Yingying had an excellent memory. Several types of Elixir, she only had to see once to remember them.
Even that time she went to the clinic to steal medicine had only been because, years ago, a barefoot doctor in the civilian cave had once used a similar medicine to treat an old granny in the village.
"So, these past few years, you managed to pull through all thanks to Yingying secretly going outside to find Medicinal Herb?" After learning what had happened, Yun Sheng still found it hard to believe.
"Yes, this child is very clever. Itâs just a pity sheâs of the Human Clan. On the Bahuang Continent, the Human Clan are fated only to be slaves and servants," when Yingyingâs mother spoke of her daughter, her face was full of gratification.
"Why can you only be slaves and servants? The Human Clan is numerous; if you united, you would be no worse than the Beastman and Half-Beast," during these days living with Yingying and her mother, Yun Sheng constantly sensed that deep in their bones, both mother and daughter were haunted by this notion of the âHuman Clanâs lowliness.â
Yun Sheng wanted to explain more, but then she thought about it: the Human Clanâs fear of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan on the Bahuang Continent had long since sunk to the bone; how could her few words possibly overturn the mindset of the Human Clan.
Thinking of this, Yun Sheng couldnât help feeling a bit downcast.
Yingying was a good seedling; it was just a pity she had been born on the Bahuang Continent.
"Your illness is basically stable now. In a little while, it can be completely cured. But the environment in the tile kiln is too poor; you must move to a house with better conditions. Yingying is still too young; living outside with you long term isnât a solution. Itâs time to move back to the civilian cave," Yun Sheng discussed with Yingyingâs mother.
Back then Yingyingâs mother had been driven out because she had no money to treat her tuberculosis. Now that her health had improved, it was only natural for her to return to the civilian cave.
The conditions in the civilian cave werenât great either, but at least Yingying would have three meals a day and not worry about food and clothing. Yun Sheng planned to send the mother and daughter back, make sure the villagers accepted them, and then leave.
Upon learning that she could return to the civilian cave with her Mother, no one was happier than Yingying.
The mother and daughter packed up their belongings simply. Calling it belongings was generous; it was only a few pieces of clothing barely better than rags and a few pots and bowls.
For the first time in two years, the mother and daughter had the courage to stand outside the civilian cave.
"Tuberculosis ghost, that sick tuberculosis ghost is back."
As soon as they got close to the civilian cave, the villagers, seeing little Yingying and her Mother, scattered in all directions in fright, as if they had seen something terrible.
Very soon, an elder who looked like the village chief and a few extremely robust men came out.
At the sight of little Yingying and her Mother, they all showed expressions of disgust.
"You tuberculosis ghost, you actually dared to come back. We never should have kindly dumped you in that broken tile kiln; we should have burned you to death."
Seeing the village chief and the others cursing her Mother, Yingying rushed forward.
"Youâre not allowed to curse my Mother. Mother isnât a tuberculosis ghost; her illness has already been cured by Sister Yun. Sheâs moving back to the civilian cave. I want to see my father," when Yingying said this, the village chief and the villagers finally noticed that Yingyingâs motherâs complexion really had improved a lot, and she wasnât coughing like before.
How was that possible?
No one in the civilian cave who got tuberculosis had ever survived.
