Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 175 - 170 I want to be with you

This is completely unscientific!

That was what Chairman Kang was thinking.

It was truly impressive. After just a simple massage, his teacher, who was still undergoing treatment, had actually spoken. Although it was only a cough, it was still a sign of remarkably effective treatment.

The three of them looked at Song Yijin with joyous faces.

"Dad?"

"Can you speak now?"

Song Tianran knelt directly in front of Song Yijin and clasped his hands. "Dad, are you okay?"

Under their watchful eyes, Song Yijin’s lips began to twitch as he tried to form a smile. However, because he was just getting used to the changes in his body, his expression spasmed. Though it looked terribly uncomfortable, for Song Yijin, it was the most exciting thing to happen in over two months.

Finally... I can finally move...

Sixty-six whole days.

This is no life for a human being.

For a man who had lived a normal life for most of his life, suddenly becoming paralyzed while his mind remained perfectly clear was absolute torture. Song Yijin had endured exactly that. Now, the mere ability to move his facial muscles was a source of immense excitement.

"Ah... ah... I..."

The first thing Song Yijin tried to do after regaining this sensation was speak. Yet, all that came out was a sound like a cough, which was what had caught the attention of Song Tianran and the others. Seeing their happiness, Song Yijin found it hard to contain his own emotions.

Wang Jian, however, did not stop his work. His concentration was focused entirely on Song Yijin’s brain. He could even ’see’ Song Tianran’s emotional fluctuations with perfect clarity. This was the marvelous application of Qi, like a real-time CT scan that allowed him to see images that were both virtual and yet real.

Whenever Song Yijin felt a surge of excitement, a corresponding area in his brain would flash with light, and then something like an electric current would radiate outward, spreading to other areas. It was this stimulation that had allowed Song Yijin to regain control of his facial muscles. Seeing these ’currents’ grow more distinct, Wang Jian knew his treatment was working. With these ’pathways’ revealed, his treatment became even more precise.

His Qi Needles targeted the parts of the brain controlling the face and tongue. After just a short while, Song Yijin made another breakthrough.

"I can speak now!"

Song Yijin’s voice was still low and hoarse, a natural result of not having spoken for so long. But his words were heard by everyone.

This time, it was not just Song Tianran and the others who stared with wide eyes. Even Wang Jian, standing behind Song Yijin, opened his eyes. His body swayed, and he nearly collapsed. Chairman Kang reacted quickly, catching and steadying him.

Admiration filled Chairman Kang’s eyes. More than anything, his desire to learn this new form of Medical Skills from Wang Jian was growing stronger by the second. While holding Wang Jian, he asked, "Senior Brother Wang, are you alright?"

"I’m..." Startled by Chairman Kang’s sudden intensity, Wang Jian pulled his arm from the man’s grasp and said awkwardly, "I’m fine, just a bit drained. I’ll be alright after a short rest. You should go check on Teacher first!"

Despite his words, Wang Jian nearly fell again as soon as he finished speaking. He caught himself by grabbing the arm of a nearby stool before sinking directly to the ground. He immediately sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

If he were not so exhausted, he would have used the Tai Chi Stance to manage his Qi. If he had not consumed the human pill, his Qi would never have reached this stage, let alone allowed him to attempt something as delicate as treating the brain. If he did not regulate his Qi promptly, he risked injuring himself.

As Wang Jian meditated, a strange scene unfolded in the courtyard. The three of them gathered around Song Yijin, eager to talk with him, but he quietly hushed them after only a brief exchange, afraid they would disturb Wang Jian.

"Everyone, keep your voices down."

Song Yijin, who had been incredibly excited, immediately composed himself when he saw what happened with Chairman Kang and Wang Jian. He nearly cried out when he saw Wang Jian almost faint and collapse to the ground, but he managed to restrain himself, not having the energy for it anyway. He not only stopped himself but also Song Tianran and the other two.

With the situation as it was, they all decided to wait quietly for Wang Jian to recover. Fortunately, Wang Jian was only drained of energy. After sitting for less than half a minute, his strength began to return.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Wang Jian asked the moment he opened his eyes. "I’m just exhausted, there’s no need to worry. Now that Teacher can speak, shouldn’t you be talking with him?"

After speaking, Wang Jian stood up and smiled at Song Yijin. "Teacher, I know I was wrong. I should have come to see you sooner."

In truth, who was right or wrong no longer mattered. Wang Jian’s only regret was not visiting his teacher earlier. If he had, he might have been able to prevent Song Yijin’s stroke. His Qi Cultivation was not as advanced back then, but he still could have helped regulate his teacher’s health and prevent this terrible outcome.

Curing his teacher now would be a lengthy process, perhaps taking over half a year. The treatment completely drained him each time, making it far more demanding than conventional methods. If he exhausted himself like this every day, he’d be ruined before he could finish the treatment. Given his current state, it would take him several days to recover. This was a massive undertaking.

But if it could cure his teacher, it would all be worth it.

Seeing Wang Jian take the initiative to admit fault, a blush crept onto Song Yijin’s old face. In the past, he believed Wang Jian was a bad influence, always dabbling in unorthodox methods. Even though he cured people, he had a poor reputation. But now, it was clear that this student was the most capable of all his disciples. This different branch of Medical Skills was entirely beyond his comprehension. As the patient, he had experienced it firsthand, and the feeling was miraculous, like witnessing a divine act. Even he, a medical professor with decades of teaching experience, was thoroughly convinced. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

It was not that Chinese medicine or Western Medicine were ineffective or inferior. It was just...

Song Yijin had discovered the greatest advantage of Wang Jian’s methods: they transcended the frameworks of both Chinese and Western medicine, breaking through the blind spots of current medical science. With the support of this new field, the diseases that currently plague humanity could be unraveled. This was a benefit for all mankind. As a teacher, his mind raced with the possibilities.

But no matter how many thoughts filled his mind, he did not voice a single one. He looked at Wang Jian and, in a frail, trembling voice, said, "Silly boy, it was Teacher who was wrong. Teacher was wrong."

If his hands could move, he would have reached out to pat Wang Jian’s head. But for now, apart from some of the muscles in his face, he could only move his limbs with a slight tremor. Even so, it was a world of improvement from before. The more emotional he became, the more violently his body trembled.

Song Yijin paid it no mind, his eyes turning red as he continued, "Teacher shouldn’t have spoken to you that way. What you’ve learned is a good thing, not something bad.

"To think that after living for so long, I still couldn’t break free from my conservative ways and failed to take your words seriously.

"If I had been willing to listen to you more back then, you wouldn’t have been driven away to the capital circle."

Song Yijin was overwhelmed with guilt. If he had not seen such immense potential in Wang Jian, he would never have taken him in as a personal student to teach directly. Because of this, even though he was paralyzed, he knew that Wang Jian had been forced to leave. For over two months, he had been completely powerless. What made him feel even more remorseful was that while he had suffered a stroke, none of his other students or his own children, some of whom knew of Wang Jian’s situation, had lifted a finger to help.

This matter was a deep source of pain for him. With Wang Jian’s ability, he could have become a National Master of medicine if he had stayed in the capital circle! But now... he was in some remote village.

All these thoughts had been weighing on Song Yijin’s mind. Now that he could speak and had been partially healed by Wang Jian’s miraculous Medical Skills, he could no longer hold back. Two streams of tears rolled down his old face as his hands finally managed to touch Wang Jian.

The old man cried, "Good boy, with Teacher here now, you can go to any hospital you want. We’ll see who dares to bully you again!"

Hearing the teacher’s words, Mu Rongyu finally understood. He had never paid much attention to his junior brother Wang Jian’s affairs. From what the teacher was saying, it sounded like he’d been driven away by someone.

His expression instantly darkened. "Who bullied you?"

Hearing the questions from the old man and his senior brother, Wang Jian did not hide anything. After briefly recounting what had happened, he said nonchalantly, "I don’t care about that trivial stuff anymore. Life in the village is pretty good. The most important thing for me is that Teacher gets well. As for returning to the capital circle, let’s not bring it up again. I plan to leave in a few days. I’ll return every month to help with Teacher’s recovery. Combined with some Chinese medicine prescriptions and massage techniques, he should recover fully within half a year."

Hearing this, Song Yijin and Mu Rongyu exchanged a look, each understanding the other’s intent. Wang Jian might be willing to let the matter go, but the two of them certainly were not. One wanted to get justice for his junior brother, while the other, after months of being powerless, could finally do something for his student.

Wang Jian, however, did not care what they decided to do.

The yard was then filled with a joyful atmosphere. Only Chairman Kang’s gaze remained contemplative as he occasionally stared at Wang Jian.

It was not until after they had finished dinner at the Song Family’s home and were preparing to leave that Chairman Kang finally spoke up. "Um..." he began, addressing the group.

"Senior Brother Wang, can I go back to your hometown with you to learn your Medical Skills?

"I’ve already finished my university courses, and I’ve had my medical license for a while now.

"But I don’t want to work in a hospital. I just want to learn these Medical Skills from you.

"I don’t know if that’s possible..."

Chairman Kang rambled on nervously. Seeing Wang Jian’s silence, he feared a misunderstanding and quickly added, causing Song Tianran and the others to glance at him curiously.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already given up on Junior Sister Ren Yu. I’m not doing this for her."
