Peerless Little Immortal Doctor
Chapter 1128 - 1132: Treatment
Some of them arranged the seeds, while a few elderly who still had strength carried self-made fertilizer to the fields using baskets.
Everything was going on in a joyful manner.
Xia Liu had the heaviest task, and initially, he wanted everyone to take a break.
But since they weren't doing any heavy work, he didn't say anything.
With everyone's help, the two acres were successfully sown before nightfall.
"Xia Liu is truly amazing!"
"Hey, such strength, youth is really great!"
"It's really wonderful, Old Li, you go to my house and grab a chicken, tonight we'll properly treat Xia Liu."
Elder Zhi, being the village chief, naturally had the responsibility to look after Xia Liu.
"Elder Zhi, forget about killing a chicken, I can just have some porridge."
"That won't do, you've worked so hard today, you must replenish well. If this field were handled by others, it would take five chickens to complete."
"Yes! Xia Liu is really incredible, accomplishing it all alone."
"The community still cares about us, sending such a young and strong lad like Xia Liu to help."
...
Amid the praises, Xia Liu couldn't refuse and had to accept with a bitter smile.
After everyone gradually left, Xia Liu asked Elder Zhi to take him to see other villagers' lands.
He had to finish planting all the fields tonight.
Xia Liu casually made up a reason to avoid Elder Zhi's suspicion, and then accompanied him to tour the lands to be sown the next day.
After checking the land, they returned to the village, and the sky had completely darkened.
The night sky enveloped, plunging the village into darkness.
Indeed, it was completely dark, as there was no electricity, so every household lit kerosene lamps.
Entering the house, Xia Liu smelled the heavy odor of kerosene.
He didn't mind it at all.
He had been through worse environments.
Old Sun had prepared the meal.
In fact, it was just some corn porridge and a pot of chicken.
Xia Liu's divine sense enveloped several miles around, allowing him to see the conditions of each household.
These elderly had very poor living conditions.
While touring the land, Elder Zhi told him that the village originally had some young people.
But because the village had no prospects, the young people went to the city or the county.
Some elderly also followed their children.
The rest didn't go.
This wasn't stubbornness, but a form of love; they didn't want to bother their children by moving to the city.
This love might cause their sons or daughters to feel misunderstood, thinking their parents were old and stubborn.
But they still did it, born here, and wanting to die here too.
Fortunately, a dozen people stayed behind, or a few alone would be very lonely.
After dinner, Elder Zhi and Old Sun chatted with Xia Liu for a long time, almost until midnight before going to rest.
Once Elder Zhi fell asleep, Xia Liu quietly got up, using divine sense to control the seeds and fertilizers in each household…
In the morning, sounds of chirping came from the mountain forests, probably from wild pheasants or similar animals.
Sitting cross-legged on the worn stone mill at the village entrance, Xia Liu opened his eyes, then grabbed a hoe and wooden plow and entered the village.
"Xia Liu, you're up so early, couldn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing Xia Liu at his door, Elder Zhi thought he must not have slept well and was heading early to Old Sun's house to get tools for planting.
"Hehe, I really couldn't sleep, so I planted all the fields using the moonlight."
Xia Liu slightly smiled, his power of divine consciousness had been recklessly overused at night.
If not for recovering a bit in the end, he might have fainted.
"What? All planted?"
Elder Zhi felt a wave of disbelief, Xia Liu actually claimed to have used the moonlight to finish planting!
"Yes, all the fields you showed me yesterday are sown."
Xia Liu nodded in response.
"My God! Let me calm down for a moment."
Elder Zhi clutched his chest, breathing heavily.
Xia Liu had actually completed all the planting! He didn't seem to be joking.
"Elder Zhi, you're still up this early, we have to work hard today; Xia Liu doesn't have much time here."
Old Sun, getting up early and seeing Xia Liu with tools, beamed brightly.
"Old Sun, don't bother, Xia Liu already finished the planting!"
"What!"
Hearing this news, Old Sun was also shocked.
Yesterday, no other land was touched, and after sleeping, Elder Zhi claimed it was all done.
After Xia Liu slightly explained the situation, Old Sun was dumbfounded.
He limped to the doors of other villagers, loudly proclaiming Xia Liu's achievements.
Finally, everyone gathered at Old Sun's house.
They were truly grateful for Xia Liu's help.
Some elders, in disbelief, went to the fields, digging here and there, and indeed found seeds.
Xia Liu really had sown all the land!
"Xia Liu, we really need to thank you this time."
"You are our village's savior, if you hadn't come, we wouldn't have made it through the whole winter."
"You're so young, yet so hardworking, you must be a promising young man!"
"Of course he's a promising young man, otherwise he wouldn't be here."
...
In Old Sun's courtyard, everyone was enthusiastically talking, all praising Xia Liu.
"You don't have to do this, I've promised the community to help, so I won't shirk my duty. I don't have much time left here, I want to do a bit more for everyone."
Xia Liu said earnestly and sincerely.
"Hey, you've helped us enough already."
"Yes, now there's nothing else in the village. If you're busy, just go after meals."
"Right, right, I caught an old hen last night, I'll kill it later."
Seeing the simple and honest villagers, Xia Liu hurriedly stopped them.
He could now go without food for one or two months and couldn't let the elders suffer any losses.
"Before I leave, I want to help everyone with any bodily ailments."
"Huh? Treat ailments?"
Old Sun was confused, could this young man stronger than an ox also know medicine?
"Well..."
Everyone looked at each other, frozen by Xia Liu's words.
"Rest assured everyone, my medical skills are inherited and there will be no side effects, I guarantee it will cure the ailments."
Afraid everyone wouldn't dare try, Xia Liu reassured them.
"Ha, I believe in Xia Liu's medical skills, but don't push yourself; our conditions are serious and might discourage you."
Elder Zhi cautiously said.
"Don't worry, Elder Zhi, I'll do what I can."
Seeing Xia Liu's sincerity, everyone finally let go of their doubts and agreed to let him diagnose and treat them.
In the courtyard, Xia Liu set up a table and chair, and pinned a piece of cloth full of silver needles on the table.
Then he had Elder Zhi sit across from him, ready to diagnose and treat one by one.
But as he placed his hand on Elder Zhi's wrist, Xia Liu's expression suddenly froze...
