Chapter 958 - 950 A Worried Expression
"As a doctor, I’ve always been instilled with this belief: we only care about saving lives. To us, all people are the same, just unhealthy bodies with no distinction between good and bad, superior or inferior. Some doctors even save their enemies, so why would I not have the right to treat you?" Xiao Yifei retorted.
"Well said, then take a look at this!" The old man stretched out his leg as he spoke. Xiao Yifei, instead of being repulsed by the old man’s dirty pants, did just as he said—he saw only a sick body, ignoring everything else.
Xiao Yifei examined it carefully and said, "This ailment will improve as long as you take care of it over time, but you’ve been wearing too little clothing. After he finished speaking, Xiao Yifei realized how difficult it would be to take care of oneself in this place. Given the current situation, even having a meal was a problem, let alone taking care of other things.
Xiao Yifei used the acupoint massage technique he learned from his grandfather to carefully massage the old man’s leg. Half an hour passed, and after the massage, Xiao Yifei asked the old man to get up and move around a bit. Sure enough, the old man felt much more strength in his leg and it no longer hurt as much.
So he said to Xiao Yifei, "I didn’t expect you to be this skilled. Why did you come here? Maybe I know some useful clues."
"Did you happen to see someone dressed in black entering this place some days ago? He’s my friend. I’m worried about him being here alone, so I followed him in," Xiao Yifei said, unsure if the person before him could be trusted, but he decided to give it a shot since it was the first person he met here.
Seeing that I had treated him, he probably wouldn’t harm me, Xiao Yifei thought to himself.
"Today, you’re the only person I’ve seen. Do I look very old to you? Can you guess how old I am now?" the old man suddenly asked.
"Seventy?" Xiao Yifei cautiously ventured, thinking he was guessing on the younger side. The old man seemed like an eighty-year-old in all respects.
"I feel like I’m very old, but I’m actually only sixty," the old man said with some melancholy.
