Chapter 359: They said you’re beautiful

It was just after noon. The sky was still gray, and the snow temporarily stopped.

But perhaps the next moment, heavier snow would fall.

It was freezing cold outside.

Those little children who were nestled next to the adults were almost invariably sniffling with runny noses and flushed faces.

Back in the hall, the small space was immediately jam packed, and pairs of weathered eyes were all invested in Kang Shiming.

“I came to visit today mostly to check the situation of the people affected by the disaster and then set up measures to assist and rescue. We just walked into the village, and I saw a lot of crushed houses. Your village’s situation is the most seriously affected around, so Village Chief, please summarize your current situation.”

The village chief nodded and rubbed his hands. “I have taken an inventory of the people affected in the village. A total of 18 families suffered from roof collapse, and more than 40 people were injured. The only good thing is that there’s no casualties. The affected people dared not live in their house anymore, so we temporarily divided them to stay with other villagers, and then move back when their houses are repaired. I have also gathered labor from the village to help with the work these days, but we need too many things and lack food and drink. Many people don’t even have warm clothes and bedding. If the snow continues, the situation will worsen.”

Kang Shiming mused, “I will then report these situations to the court. Village Chief, continue to gather people, and let the villagers help each other. As for the injured and those who caught a cold, I brought the Little Divine Doctor of Xinghua Village today. She will help with the treatment.”

“The Little Divine Doctor of Xinghua Village?” The crowd, which was extremely restrained and cautious in front of the official lord, suddenly stirred up and looked at the two young girls.

They only knew that the Little Divine Doctor was very young and was only sixteen years old. They did not know which one of the two was her.

Xinghua Village in their impression was an existence that the villages looked up to. It was the Little Divine Doctor, Liu Yusheng, who developed Xinghua Village to its current status.

Unfortunately, after so many years, no one has seen her appearance.

Because they have never been to Xinghua Village.

Duanqiao Village was poverty-stricken, and the villagers couldn’t afford medical treatment. They relied on boiling herbs when they were ill and instead saved the money for medical care.

Liu Yusheng stood up, “I am Liu Yusheng. His Excellency will check the matters here. Can I ask someone to show me the way. I will go first to examine the injured patients.”

“Little Divine Doctor! I-I will take you there!” Someone in the crowd immediately raised his voice.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Liu Yusheng, both with a look of excitement and complexity.

“Okay.” Liu Yusheng nodded and smiled at the first person to speak. She and Kang Shiming exchanged a look, then she picked up her medical kit and went out.

Kang Ziyu looked at Liu Yusheng’s back. She wanted to say something, wriggled the corners of her lips, but finally restrained herself.

When in the carriage, she also wanted to talk to the young girl, but just could not say anything.

When the people in the house saw Liu Yusheng leave, several children even stretched their legs to follow after her, pushing and shoving to get closer but dare not go forward.

The young man who led the way was a young man who was around his twenties. He was very excited and sneaked peeks at Liu Yusheng behind him from time to time as he led the way.

This look made Liu Yusheng laugh, “I do not have three heads and six arms, so don’t keep looking at me and lead the way.”

The young man immediately scratched his head and said, “Pardon my rudeness, Miss Liu. My name is Hong Changfeng. You are very famous in our village. People often mention you, and they say you are very, very powerful!”

Perhaps he was too excited; the young man spoke a little incoherently. He frequently turned back without paying attention, tripped, and almost fell.

It drew laughter from the children who followed behind.

“I guess it should mean that I am good at medicine and will make money, is it?” Looking at his red face, Liu Yusheng laughed.

Her slightly self-aggrandizing words instantly relieved the man’s nervous embarrassment. It also made the children who did not dare to approach slowly move closer.

“Indeed.” The man relaxed and spoke without getting stuck, “No one in the village has ever seen you, so when they usually get together and chat, they will guess what you look like, discuss how good your medical skills are, and say what new wine has come out of Xinghua Village Winery…”

“Sister, they said you look beautiful!” A child suddenly chimed in.

“Who said that?” Liu Yusheng teased.

The children immediately shyly shrank their necks, covered their mouths, and coyly snickered.

Children knew nothing about the taste of sorrow yet. They didn’t know the things that happened in the village that brought anxiety to its residents.

This was good. At least the children were not affected much.

The first house that the young man took Liu Yusheng to had two wounded people; the family temporarily borrowed the house and lived there.

The house was very old; the walls of the earthen building were blackened; the outer walls were peeling; and it was old and patchy.

Hong Changfeng took Liu Yusheng directly to the room where the wounded lived. When they entered, one of the wounded, a man about forty years old, was lying on a plank bed coughing. In the dim light, the pallor on his face was visible, and his lips were vaguely dark.

“She is the Little Divine Doctor of Xinghua Village. She’ll help cure you, Uncle. Let me first help you sit up for her to see,” Hong Changfeng said and went forward to help him up.

A large family gathered at the door, watching Liu Yusheng’s movements curiously. The “Little Divine Doctor of Xinghua Blossom Village” title always seemed to arouse their great interest, but they didn’t dare to disturb her. At first sight, the woman who followed her was inconspicuous and almost made people unable to feel her presence. However, whenever someone wanted to get closer, she would immediately release a momentum, scaring them.

Liu Yusheng was not distracted and thought nothing of it. She went forward to check the injured man’s pulse, and after diagnosing his pulse, she understood why Hong Changfeng brought her to this house first.

This man was seriously injured, and it was an internal injury.

“How did he get hurt?” She asked.

“He was injured when a rotten pillar fell from the beam and hit him in the back,” Hong Changfeng quickly answered.

After the man was smashed, they went to rescue him. He fell into a coma, and the villagers later suggested that he go to Xinghua Village to find Little Divine Doctor. However, he refused.

It was all about poverty.

As long as someone could still hold up, no one was willing to pay to see a doctor, even if it cost a few dozen.

Hearing that she was the Little Divine Doctor, the man also opened his eyes and glanced at her. He just couldn’t speak. In between his breathing, his throat issued a sharp brief noise.

It was probably a symptom of tracheal bifurcation.

Combined with his pulse and pallor, his injury was very serious, and he developed internal organs cysts. This affected the five internal organs.

“Little Divine Doctor, how is it?” Hong Changfeng asked.

The children around the side and the group of people at the door all pricked up their ears.

Ordinary people would be very cautious when seeing officials and nobles. But Liu Yusheng was an unattainable noble in front of them, so they dared not even talk to her at will. They just stood and watched from a distance.

“He can still be cured,” Liu Yusheng replied lightly.

His internal injury was accompanied by pulmonary edema. If she did not come today, it would have been hard for him to last long in his condition.
