“Good, good! How could I have forgotten? Nuohan knows medicine.”
Before Su Nuohan even finished speaking, Madam Fu had already exclaimed excitedly.
However, Fu Chengyan slightly frowned and said calmly, “I have invited many famous doctors for Qianqian’s legs. All of them said there was no cure. You…”
Upon hearing this, the anger that Su Nuohan had just suppressed rose again. She replied unhappily, “Didn’t you also invite many famous doctors yourself? In the end, wasn’t it because of me that you were able to get out of bed and recover day by day?”
“I…” Fu Chengyan opened his mouth but did not know how to respond.
Seeing this, Fu Qianqian asked in surprise, “What? Brother was cured by sister-in-law?”
Madam Fu nodded heavily. “Yes. Back then, all the doctors said your brother was beyond saving. But after your sister-in-law checked his pulse, he miraculously recovered.”
Fu Qianqian’s eyes instantly lit up, as if she had seen a ray of hope.
She urgently grabbed Su Nuohan’s hand, her voice trembling with excitement. “Really? Sister-in-law! Then… then please take a look at me too!”
Su Nuohan nodded. She gently held Fu Qianqian’s cold fingers in return and said softly, “Alright, I’ll take a look. But your brother’s condition and yours are different. I can’t guarantee anything, but I will definitely do my best.”
“Mm-mm! It’s okay, sister-in-law. I already had no hope for my legs anyway. No matter what happens, I can accept it,” Fu Qianqian said sincerely.
Madam Fu added, “Yes, Nuohan. Don’t feel pressured. Just examine her. We won’t blame you.”
Fu Chengyan stood aside in silence, still slightly frowning. Although he did not believe that Su Nuohan truly knew medicine, it was indeed she who had pulled him back from the brink of death.
However… Qianqian’s leg injury was long-standing. It would likely be very difficult to recover.
At that moment.
Su Nuohan knelt in front of Fu Qianqian’s wheelchair and said softly, “Qianqian, relax. Don’t be nervous.”
Fu Qianqian nodded hard, holding her breath from tension, staring unblinkingly at her.
Su Nuohan took a deep breath and concentrated.
She gently lifted the thin blanket covering Fu Qianqian’s legs, revealing a pair of slender legs that had become somewhat atrophied from lack of use.
Her fingertips first pressed lightly on several acupoints and bones, as if performing a routine examination.
“Do you feel anything here?”
“No…”
“How about here?” As she spoke, Su Nuohan applied slightly more pressure.
After a moment of silence, Fu Qianqian suddenly brightened with excitement. “Sister-in-law, I think… I feel a little bit here.”
“Really?” both Madam Fu and Su Nuohan asked at the same time, delighted.
“Mm-mm!” Fu Qianqian nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Su Nuohan continued pressing the acupoints while carefully asking and sensing the feedback from her fingertips.
More than ten minutes passed.
She became certain of the condition. The muscles in Fu Qianqian’s legs had become stiff, blood circulation was very poor, and the skin temperature was lower than normal.
In this condition, even surgery would likely not help.
However, she had a koi fortune physique. Perhaps her “koi energy” could heal her.
She looked up and met Fu Qianqian’s nervous gaze, then smiled gently.
“Brother-in-law, can it be treated?” Fu Qianqian asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry. I will do my best,” she comforted her.
After speaking, she stood up. “Wait a moment, I’ll get some silver needles.” Then she ran upstairs.
After a while, she returned holding a needle kit.
In truth, she did not actually need the silver needles. But if she did nothing and simply placed her hands on Fu Qianqian’s knees and healed them instantly, it would be far too shocking. So using acupuncture was the best explanation.
She opened the kit, took out a silver needle, and began inserting it into Fu Qianqian’s knees while channeling her koi energy.
With each needle insertion, Fu Qianqian felt a warm current entering her body. After circulating once, it all gathered toward her legs.
Immediately, she felt a swelling, aching sensation in her legs.
Seeing this, Su Nuohan focused all her will, guiding that warmth downward to break through the obstruction below the knees.
About ten minutes later—
“Mm…” Fu Qianqian suddenly let out a suppressed groan, her eyes widening.
“Qianqian, what’s wrong?” Madam Fu asked nervously, her heart in her throat.
Even Fu Chengyan looked tense.
“It’s hot… so hot… Mother, Brother, my legs… my legs are so hot! It feels like… like countless little ants are crawling… moving inside!” Fu Qianqian cried, her voice trembling with pain and excitement as tears poured down her face.
Seeing this, Fu Chengyan grabbed Su Nuohan’s hand. “What are you doing? What is happening to Qianqian?”
Before she could respond—
“Brother, let go of sister-in-law!” Fu Qianqian hurriedly said. “Sister-in-law is treating me. I feel like my legs are getting better!”
“What?” Fu Chengyan froze.
Madam Fu covered her mouth, tears of excitement streaming down her face.
Ignoring Fu Chengyan, Su Nuohan continued manipulating the silver needles, guiding the koi energy to restore vitality to Fu Qianqian’s legs.
Another ten minutes passed.
Fu Qianqian’s atrophied legs began to visibly swell back to normal shape before everyone’s eyes.
Fu Chengyan’s pupils contracted sharply. His face was filled with shock, his mouth slightly open.
This… how was this possible?
Meanwhile, fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Nuohan’s forehead. Her face turned slightly pale from energy depletion.
But she gritted her teeth and continued.
After an unknown period of time—
A sound like bones cracking echoed from within Fu Qianqian’s legs.
Fu Qianqian cried out loudly, and then suddenly felt strength and sensation returning to her legs.
At that moment, Su Nuohan finally exhaled heavily and collapsed to the ground as if she might faint.
“Nuohan! Sister-in-law!” both Madam Fu and Fu Qianqian cried out in panic.
However, Fu Chengyan reacted faster. He quickly knelt and supported her, his voice unexpectedly gentle. “How are you?”
Su Nuohan weakly shook her head and looked at Fu Qianqian. “Qian… Qianqian… try it…”
Fu Qianqian tried moving her feet and found she could.
“They moved! They moved! Ah! Qianqian’s feet can move!” Madam Fu exclaimed excitedly, tears streaming down her face.
Then Fu Qianqian tried lifting her legs—and slowly, she stood up from the wheelchair.
Madam Fu covered her mouth, pointing at her in disbelief.
“Qianqian… you stood up!”
Hearing this, Fu Qianqian looked down at her legs in disbelief, then burst into tears of joy.
“Mother… Brother… I stood up… I really stood up…”
