Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Forty-Two

Early the next morning, Long Xiaoshan rose and went up to the mountain to check on things.

He discovered that some very tiny seedlings had actually sprouted on the mountainous land, and the leaves of those fruit trees seemed to have increased in number as well.

It really was effective.

Although the growth rate couldn't compare with the initial experiment in the backyard, this rate had already surpassed that of normal growth. It should be noted that this was barren mountain land, not the fertile black soil.

But now, this rate rivaled that of the fertile lands.

Moreover, he checked and found that every kind of melon, vegetable, and fruit was alive.

These dozens of varieties, requiring different conditions, might not even survive under an experienced farmer's care.

But now they were all alive and growing.

Long Xiaoshan was very excited.

He didn't need them to grow as quickly as in the backyard; such speed would be too conspicuous.

Maturing in a single day—in the rural village, wouldn't that turn into a tale of hauntings spreading far and wide? After all, it was because his parents had seen the backyard vegetable garden and Spirit Shrimp grow that they thought it was haunted.

So, for him now, he wanted the melons and vegetables to mature but not be too eye-catching.

The current speed was good, somewhat fast, but still understandable since it hadn't exceeded everyone's customary way of thinking.

Yet even so,

when the villagers came to work on the farm, they were stunned too.

Looking at the fine sprouts emerging from the ground, they were incredibly surprised, even the few old farmers who were the best at farming in the village found it unbelievable.

They had thought Long Xiaoshan was messing around, but everything had actually started to grow.

"Incredible, incredible, truly a Wenqu Star descended to earth—when it comes to planting melons, vegetables, and fruits, he outdoes us all," those old farmers, recalling Long Xiaoshan's past, began to praise him one after another.

One couldn't deny that Long Xiaoshan's past was legendary.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always excelled at studying, easily ranking first whether in the village or the county. In the end, he even got into Shuimu University, a feat that someone from Niu Y County could only dream of achieving every few years. Even the county head had received him and presented him with a red flower.

Thanks to these legendary tales,

the simple farmers all found it quite normal.

After all, being a Wenqu Star descended to earth, it was expected for him to be extraordinary, thus sparing Long Xiaoshan much need for explanation.

The pond was now gradually being excavated.

Long Xiaoshan knew that the melons, vegetables, and fruit trees should naturally continue to grow slowly; the melons and vegetables should yield a harvest in half a month, while the fruit trees would definitely take longer.

However, what Long Xiaoshan was worried about now was the consumption of the Merit Spirit Liquid, which was rather quick.

All the accumulated Merit Spirit Liquid, except for that one drop of golden liquid, had been used up for the three hundred acres of mountain land and was now depleted.

He definitely didn't want to run out of resources.

Just then, a phone call came in.

It was said that Su Wan had suddenly fainted.

She had been taken to Niu Y County People's Hospital and had already been admitted to the intensive care unit.

Long Xiaoshan hastily spoke to his parents and rushed to Niu Y County People's Hospital. Outside the intensive care unit, he saw Shangguan Baihe, whose complexion didn't look good as she spoke with a doctor.

The doctor said, "Miss Shangguan, I think it's best to arrange a transfer to a hospital in the province as soon as possible. Our technical capabilities here are probably not sufficient for this kind of surgery."

Long Xiaoshan quickly approached and asked, "What surgery?"

Shangguan Baihe, seeing Long Xiaoshan approaching, whispered, "The situation isn't good, They've found a brain tumor. Although we don't know yet if it's malignant or benign, it's already compressing the optic nerve. Even if it's benign, craniotomy will be necessary, and there's a high possibility that the optic nerve will be damaged..."

Shangguan Baihe stopped speaking.

She didn't need to say it explicitly; the implication was clear—if the optic nerve was damaged, blindness was certain.

Long Xiaoshan was filled with regret.

Initially, he had indeed noticed something wrong with Su Wan, but he hadn't insisted that she visit the hospital. Recently, he had been preoccupied with the farm and had completely forgotten about it.

"I'll go in and take a look first," said Long Xiaoshan as he hurriedly pushed the door to the intensive care unit.

"Wait, you can't go in," the doctor who had been speaking with Shangguan Baihe quickly intervened.

"What do you mean I can't go in? I can cure this disease!" Long Xiaoshan pushed the door open and entered.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" The doctor laughed in anger after hearing Long Xiaoshan's claim.

Long Xiaoshan had already hurried in; Su Wan was lying on the hospital bed, her complexion pale, and she had lost a good deal of weight. Her skin had darkened, too. These days, as they prepared the farm, it was Su Wan who had been running around handling external affairs, while all Long Xiaoshan needed to do was stay in the village to supervise.

In reality, he had been an absentee manager. Thinking of this, he felt even more sorry for Su Wan.

"Who is it?" Su Wan's vision was very blurry now; she could only sense someone approaching her bed.

"Sister Su, it's me. I've come to see you," Long Xiaoshan said quickly.

"Xiaoshan," Su Wan's face squeezed out a faint smile, "Why are you here? The farm is so busy."

"I'm sorry. I should have had you checked out sooner," Long Xiaoshan admitted.

Remembering how Long Xiaoshan had told her she was ill the first time they met, Su Wan, who had always felt fine, now realized he had been right. She said bitterly, "It's my own fault, too, for not listening to you. It's just my fate, and you're not to blame."

"Don't worry, Sister Su, I will definitely cure you," Long Xiaoshan declared as he activated his Spirit Eye to observe Su Wan's brain.

A tumor the size of an egg was pressing right against the optic nerve.

It was somewhat tricky, but Long Xiaoshan had a plan in mind. A tumor needs the body's nutrients to grow; if he could cut off the tumor's nutrient supply, it would naturally shrink and die.

"Xiaoshan, can you really cure me? You're not lying to me," Su Wan grasped at this lifeline, for she had indeed witnessed Long Xiaoshan's medical skills when he cured Zhang Yin. However, she was still very anxious because her tumor was in her brain, which is the most difficult to treat.

"Yes, I can treat it. I can start right now," Long Xiaoshan said as he pulled out the Golden Needle.

Shangguan Baihe and the treating physician had also come in, and upon seeing Long Xiaoshan move to use the needle, the doctor yelled, "What are you doing? Do you realize that messing around could kill the patient?"

Shangguan Baihe was angry, too, and said in a stern voice, "Long Xiaoshan, what are you doing?"

"I can cure Sister Su's illness, Chairman. I understand medical techniques and would never joke with Sister Su's life," Long Xiaoshan said earnestly.

"Chairman, let Xiaoshan treat me," Su Wan also spoke up.

For some reason, she was willing to trust Long Xiaoshan, perhaps knowing that this young farmer wouldn't harm her and was willing to entrust her life to him.

"Little Wan, are you sure you want to do this?" Shangguan Baihe asked, her brows knit in concern.

"Yes, I'm willing. If it doesn't work, then it's my destiny, and Xiaoshan shouldn't be blamed," Su Wan replied.

Shangguan Baihe pondered for a moment, her gaze shifting from Long Xiaoshan to Su Wan, and slowly said, "Alright, since you've agreed to it, I don't have the right to stop you. But Long Xiaoshan, if anything goes wrong, I won't be so easy to negotiate with."

An Aura of Killing seemed to emanate from her eyes.

Long Xiaoshan didn't speak, he just took out the Golden Needle and inserted it into Su Wan's head.

"You—all of you—if there's a medical accident, I won't take responsibility," the principal physician said. If it wasn't for Shangguan Baihe's status, he would have already called staff to throw Long Xiaoshan out.

All he could do now was to hurry out and call the Dean.

He couldn't bear the responsibility for what was happening now.
