From the old man’s laughter and the gentleness in his eyes, Luo Ziling could feel that the man had placed a sense of trust in him. He felt a surge of pride in his heart as he squatted down beside the old man and said sincerely, “I’ll examine you first before considering what treatment plan to use.”

“Okay!” The old man agreed without hesitation.

“Then you should head back to your room first,” he suggested in a low voice.

“Carry me back to my room.” Without any hesitation, the old man agreed to Luo Ziling’s request and let the two nurses do as ordered.

Linlan also rushed forward to help, leaving Luo Ziling standing around awkwardly watching the women do their work.

Between the three of them working together, they eventually managed to carry the old man to a room on the first floor.

The room was very spacious; there was a living room, a study room, as well as a bedroom. This was probably where the old man lived.

The old man’s body had lost the ability to move, so it was inconvenient for him to live upstairs, so the only thing left that could be done was to have him stay on the first floor. This was the conclusion Luo Ziling came to after observing all this.

The old man’s residence was not luxurious and could even be described as simple and crude. From this, one could see what kind of lifestyle he lived.

After carrying the chief into the house and moving him onto the wide wooden bed, Luo Ziling ordered the old man to unbutton his clothes and pull up his wide pants.

The two nurses swiftly unbuttoned the old man’s clothes for. After pulling up his pants, Luo Ziling sucked in a breath of cold air.

There were countless wounds littering his body, as if someone had used a knife to randomly cut him.

Upon looking at the wounds on the old man’s body, Luo Ziling couldn’t help but think of Linlan’s body. There were also many wounds on hers.

‘What was going on with these people? Why were there so many wounds? Could it be that they often fought with others?

He found it easy to believe in his deductions, mainly because Linlan had been holding a gun in her hand when she was injured, not to mention the gunshot wounds she’d sustained.

However, he was a little puzzled; it was peacetime now, so how could there be so many battles?

“Are you scared?” Seeing that Luo Ziling was staring at his body in a daze, “I don’t know if you’ve heard of this, but scars are the best honor for soldiers. This is the pride of us soldiers.”

Luo Ziling pursed his lips, but didn’t say anything.

He completely disagreed with the old man’s words. What right did he have to say that scars were a soldier’s honor?

A beautiful woman like Linlan also had so many wounds on her body, so what was there to be proud of?

‘Women had to have clean skin and a healthy body, so for their bodies were full of scars, how could they wear nice clothes in summer? It would be stranger if they didn’t scare someone off.

Luo Ziling was of the mind that Linlan wouldn’t wear short-sleeved shirts or skirts even in summer, all because of the scars littering her body. Some of them were quite scary, too, and it was then that he once again thought of helping her get rid of her scars. It was heart-wrenching to think about it, let

alone see them up close.

He would talk to Linlan about this later and ask her if she wanted treatment.

After careful examination, Luo Ziling came to a preliminary conclusion.

“believe that due to the side effects of the poison and the lack of timely treatment for your injuries, your nerves and muscle tissue were damaged, and the poison has hindered the signals sent from your brain through your nerves. The movement of your limbs is therefore hindered, causing your muscles

to atrophy and in tum rendering your limbs unable to move,” he told the old man and Linlan, who were both waiting patiently for his prognosis.

“Your prognosis is similar to those other doctors I invited here,” the old man praised. “Even without using any modern equipment, you still managed to find the cause of my ailment just with your senses alone. You’re better than them.”

“Can it be treated?” Linlan asked in a low voice.

She had already forgotten that she’d told Luo Ziling to keep quiet before coming here.

Although Luo Ziling already had a preliminary treatment plan and a certain degree of confidence in his skills, he didn’t want to give any guarantees.” I can’t guarantee anything, but I’ll try my best.”

Accidents often happened in medicine, after all.

He didn’t want to be looked down upon by Linlan after boasting, nor did he want to get punished by the old man and his men.

These were a group of strong soldiers. He was afraid of them.

“I know that you have a measure of confidence in your abilities, otherwise you wouldn’t say this.” The old man seemed to understand his thoughts and chuckled. “You can rest assured and administer the treatment. Even if it turns out that I can’t be cured, I won’t blame you, nor will I allow them to blame

you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The old man’s words allowed Luo Ziling to relax.

“Tl do my best,” he promised once again, trying to encourage the old man. “Your attitude is very good, sir; this is crucial so that your body can recover faster. Not only that, now that you’re willing to cooperate with the treatment, it’ll reduce the psychological burden on me and become less of a worry. This

will be more beneficial to the treatment.” He smiled. “If I only had 10% confidence in the treatment before, then now I have at least 20% confidence.”

After hearing Luo Ziling’s words, Linlan finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Then when will the treatment begin?”

This was the first time that the old and young generation were so harmonious.

In the past, when the doctors came to treat the chief, both parties would always end up unhappy.

Those doctors often took actions out of fear and trepidation. They were afraid of the chief’s authority and did not dare to say anything. They were also timid in doing things and did not dare take any rash measures.

And to make things worse, the chief was also hot-tempered. He would curse out loud at any time, which lead to the blood pressure of several doctors rising, causing them to faint at the treatment site. In the end, the chief hated treatment. There were doctors who came to examine him, but they all

rejected him rudely.

In the end, Linlan finally dared to ask Luo Ziling to come help with the treatment. At first, she did not have much confidence, but now it seemed that that her bold suggestion turned out to be for the best; there was already hope for the chief’s ailment to be cured.

Of course, it was only a faint hope.

“Tl start the treatment now.” Luo Ziling asked the two nurses to wipe the old man’s body with water while he began preparing for the treatment.

Acupuncture, massage, and medicine were the best choices for treating this kind of illness. Luo Ziling prepared to start the treatment with the kind of acupuncture that he was good at.

After getting Linlan to prepare some alcohol, warm water, and a cloth to wipe his hands with, Luo Ziling took out the silver needles that he’d brought.

The silver needles that he used for acupuncture were specially made by his grandfather. They were not the same as those used by ordinary Chinese medicine doctors; there was a big difference in the length and toughness. When he made the silver needles, he’d mixed some special things into them.

As for what was mixed into them, Luo Ziling did not know. That was his grandfather’s secret.

After disinfecting the silver needles with alcohol, Luo Ziling used warm water to wet his hands. Then, he wiped them dry and began to gently massage the old man’s knee.

After a round of massage, the skin at that part of the nee became slightly ruddy. It was no longer as dry as before. Luo Ziling picked up a silver needle and quickly stabbed it into the old man’s knee joint with lightning speed.

He’d used the needle so quickly that even Linlan, who had always been good at speed, was shocked when she saw it.

This kid definitely had a complex skillset.

It looked like he had quite a bit of medical skills too. Perhaps he could really bring everyone a surprise.

Thinking of this, Linlan couldn’t help but feel happy..
