Chapter 104: Chapter 106: Can't Help It
For cancer cells, as long as their nutrient supply is cut off, they can be starved to death.
Of course, while it sounds simple, there are likely only a handful of people in the world who could achieve this.
That was precisely what Long Xiaoshan had done for Ye Zhentian.
However, Ye Zhentian\'s cancer was the most severe he had encountered, having already spread.
There was no way he could cure it in one go.
After severing the most cancerous core area from the other parts, Long Xiaoshan\'s True Qi was exhausted.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said, "Elder Ye, the first step of the treatment is complete. Several more treatments will be needed."
"Little brother, you\'re a miracle worker."
Ye Zhentian exclaimed in amazement.
There was no need for him to check.
He could feel that the pain in the lower abdomen had disappeared; instead, there seemed to be a warm current swirling, making him feel very energized.
"Elder Ye, how are you feeling?" Huang Hu hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Good, very good, exceptionally good, better than it\'s ever been," declared Ye Zhentian with a laugh.
Taking Long Xiaoshan\'s hand, he said, "Little brother, please sit down; you\'ve worked hard."
Ye Zhentian could tell that treating his illness had taken a lot out of Long Xiaoshan.
Otherwise, he wouldn\'t be sweating profusely.
Without any pretense, Long Xiaoshan sat down and began to eat heartily from the dishes on the table.
The food, all products of his farm, was particularly beneficial for restoring energy.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan eat so well, Ye Zhentian also felt an intense hunger. Previously, due to the torment of illness, he couldn\'t enjoy even the finest dishes.
He grabbed a big shrimp and started to nibble on it.
After just one bite, his eyes lit up.
"Delicious, delicious."
"I never expected such food in this little place." Your next read awaits at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net
Ye Zhentian and Long Xiaoshan ate voraciously, heads down.
Gu Jingheng, seeing the unfettered, robust eating manners of the old and young man, couldn\'t help but exchange a wry smile with the others.
But now he certainly wouldn\'t underestimate Long Xiaoshan.
The fact that Long Xiaoshan could treat cancer was even more astonishing than his physical prowess. Indeed, he was an extraordinary person.
Extraordinary individuals should act without constraints. Otherwise, how could they be called extraordinary?
After gobbling down for a while, Long Xiaoshan and Ye Zhentian demolished more than half of the dishes on the table before finally looking up.
Only then did Gu Jingheng find an opportunity to join the conversation.
He was a man adept at socializing, intermittently speaking and toasting Long Xiaoshan, and before long, the atmosphere warmed up.
Gu Jingheng had initially thought Long Xiaoshan was a reclusive oddball from the countryside, aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs.
But as the conversation deepened,
He discovered that Long Xiaoshan was well-versed in culture and arts, as well as history, military, economics, and antiques, and not just superficially—in many areas, his expertise was profound.
Moreover, Long Xiaoshan was fluent in several languages.
He could effortlessly converse in English about original texts with her, a high-profile lady from Hong Kong Island.
It was nothing short of breathtaking.
As for the field of medicine, none of the others even dared to display their ignorance.
"A true talent!"
Gu Jingheng, too, marveled, no wonder they say the mainland hides dragons and crouching tigers, with masters living incognito among the people.
In the blink of an eye, they had been eating for two hours.
The last bottle of wine on the table had been finished off.
Long Xiaoshan stood up and said, "Elder Ye, Brother Gu, that\'s it for today. I still need to visit my teacher in the hospital."
Ye Zhentian was now very grateful to Long Xiaoshan and stood up, "Young brother, just call me \'Big Bro\' from now on; anything else just feels too formal."
Gu Jingheng gave a wry smile.
Just like that, he had been demoted a generation by a youngster in his twenties.
But thinking about the youngster\'s profound knowledge, being an Ancient Martial Arts Descendant, and a medical expert,
made him feel a little better.
Before Long Xiaoshan left, Gu Jingheng enthusiastically exchanged phone numbers with him.
Gu Jingheng was amazed; anyone else would act like a servile lobster upon meeting him and Elder Ye, but Long Xiaoshan just ate his fill, dusted off his pants, and left, preferring to accompany his teacher.
And now he\'s even brothers with Elder Ye.
Gu Jingheng personally saw Long Xiaoshan out. After the two said their goodbyes, Long Xiaoshan drove to the hospital.
Today\'s events were just a side story.
He didn\'t take them to heart.
Nor did he think he had secured a powerful leg to latch onto.
He hurried back to the hospital.
He planned to stay in the hospital for the next few days.
First, to treat Teacher Xu Manqing, and, second, to ensure her safety.
Qin You said she would take action against those rich young masters.
As the witness and victim, Teacher Xu Manqing would definitely be in danger, so Long Xiaoshan needed to stay close to protect her.
By the time he got back to the hospital, it was already dark.
In the special ward, Xu Manqing had already fallen asleep.
Long Xiaoshan took a look and told the duty nurse to leave, saying he was enough for the night. Aware of Long Xiaoshan\'s status as a Divine Doctor, she complied without hesitation, confident in leaving him in charge.
After a quick wash-up, Long Xiaoshan sat down in the room and began to cultivate "The Art of Immortality". Treating Ye Zhentian\'s illness earlier had been taxing, and he needed to recover.
While meditating, time passed without notice.
When Long Xiaoshan opened his eyes, it was to the sound of Teacher Xu calling for a nurse from the bed.
Long Xiaoshan quickly got up and approached the bed, asking, "Teacher, what\'s wrong?"
"Xiaoshan, why are you here?" Xu Manqing asked.
"Oh, I\'ll be here for the next few days," Long Xiaoshan explained, then asked, "Teacher, why are you calling for a nurse? Just order me, no need to be polite."
Xu Manqing\'s face showed a hint of red as she hesitantly said, "You might as well go and call the nurse after all."
Long Xiaoshan scratched his head and went out, only to find no sight of the nurse.
It seemed they really did leave after his instructions.
He had no choice but to return to the bedside and say, "Teacher, all the nurses are gone. Just tell me what you need; there\'s no need to be polite with me."
Xu Manqing thought to herself, \'Why would I be polite with you,\' but the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
With a somewhat tearful voice, she said, "I need to use the toilet."
Long Xiaoshan froze in embarrassment; no wonder the Teacher was reluctant to say it earlier.
He chuckled awkwardly, glanced at the bedside, and said, "Teacher, there are catheters..."
Xu Manqing\'s face turned even redder and said, "It\'s number two."
Long Xiaoshan nearly stumbled, stuttering, "I\'ll go find a nurse for you, Teacher—just hold on."
Long Xiaoshan hurried to the door, made a round, but there was not a single nurse in the nurse station of this floor with only one special ward.
"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan," Xu Manqing called out.
"Teacher, what\'s wrong? I\'m going downstairs to call now."
"No, don\'t go, I can\'t hold it anymore." Xu Manqing started to cry, "Hurry up and help me."
