The longed-for village system

Chapter 154 Li Yong Speaks

Looking at the emaciated Li Yong on the bed, Dong Qing was touched. Before, although Li Yong was thin, he still had some flesh. Now, he was tormented by the disease and was left with only bones and skin.

"Should we wake Mr. Chen Qing up?" Ha Wen didn't know if Chen Qing needed to be conscious during treatment.

"No need, just let him fall asleep! I'll do some acupuncture and it'll be quick."

While the dog system is flawed in other ways, it's decent in terms of the skills it grants.

This time, it was still just seven needles, which Chen Qing completed in the blink of an eye with his skill. He then turned to Ha Wen and asked, "Did you bring back the medicinal herbs?"

"I've already asked my daughter to pick it up; she should be back soon."

Yesterday, they made many phone calls and finally found a ten-year-old wild ginseng through a recommendation from an acquaintance. Last night, their daughter set off overnight to pick it up, and it was prepared and returned this morning. Judging from the time, it should be ready soon.

While Haven was still checking the time, a girl rushed in and whispered to Haven, "Mom, I've brought the medicine back."

"Aunt Dong Qing, what are you doing here? Did you come to see Dad?"

Li was taken aback when she saw Dong Qing in the room. She knew her father and Aunt Dong Qing had a good relationship and had even collaborated on the Spring Festival Gala a few times before, but were they really that close? She had only returned to China yesterday and was already here to see them today?

You should know that this aunt is no ordinary person at CCTV! She has a very busy schedule every day.

"Auntie came here for work this time, I didn't expect to run into you all," Dong Qing replied to Li Rushi.

"Li showed the medicinal herbs to Mr. Chen Qing."

Ha Wen gestured for her daughter to hand the medicinal herbs to Chen Qing for inspection. Although they were recommended by an acquaintance, Ha Wen was still worried that something might go wrong. These were herbs for treating her husband, and no mistakes could be made. She was only relieved after Chen Qing confirmed that there were no problems.

Chen Qing opened the medicine packet, checked it, and nodded. "The herbs are fine. Go and brew them! Boil four bowls of water down to one bowl, and then boil three bowls down to one bowl again tonight. One packet of herbs can be brewed twice, twice a day."

"How did you come."

The sudden sound startled everyone, because it was very low and shrill, like the wind passing through a narrow slit.

In fact, besides them being startled, there was another person who was equally startled, namely Li Yong, who was lying on the bed. He never expected that he could actually speak.

Although his voice was very weak and unpleasant, a far cry from the powerful and resonant voice he had when he was a host, he was still very excited because this was the first time he had made a sound since his throat cancer had progressed to the middle and late stages.

After a brief moment of shock, Ha Wen, Dong Qing, and the others became delighted, as they too had discovered the person who was speaking.

"Honey, is that you speaking? Can you speak now?" Harvin asked, filled with anticipation.

"Yes! It's me. I can speak again."

This time, everyone saw Li Yong speak. It was still that harsh, weak voice, but this time everyone became happy, and even Chen Qing nodded with a smile on his face.

"These Hua Tuo's needles are truly amazing! Just two treatments were enough to make him speak again. Although he still looks like he's on the verge of death, the effect is undeniably significant." "Alright, Mr. Li Yong can't speak too much yet; he needs a few more treatments," Chen Qing interrupted their conversation.

"Thank you, thank you."

Li Yong still managed to say a word of thanks to Chen Qing. He had almost reached the gates of hell, but he never expected to be able to return to the human world. At this moment, he no longer doubted what Chen Qing had said before.

I really can live another twenty or thirty years, and I can stand up, walk, and talk like an ordinary person.

Ha Wen also firmly believed what Chen Qing had said before: Chen Qing could really treat cancers that Western medicine couldn't cure, even in the late stages, and could suppress them, allowing people to live for another twenty or thirty years.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

"Brother Chen Qing, thank you for saving my father. I am very grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please just ask. Even if it means going through fire and water, I, Fatuma and Li Juejue, will not hesitate to help."

Judging from the girl's appearance, she was about the same age as his sister, yet she spoke so boldly that he could only smile and nod.

"You guys should go and brew the medicine first! Remember to borrow a clay pot from the shopkeeper, and also prepare the fifty-year-old wild ginseng as soon as possible, we'll need it in about a week," Chen Qing instructed Ha Wen.

At this point, Ha Wen naturally listened to Chen Qing's instructions without question, having personally witnessed her husband's condition improve.

After giving Chen Qing and Dong Qing their instructions, they bid farewell to Li Yong and left the hotel. The two walked back towards the Mushroom House in the direction they had come from.

"Xiao Chen, can you really cure cancer? Even Yong Ge's late-stage cancer can be cured?"

She couldn't directly ask Chen Qing because Li Yong's family was around, but now that it was just the two of them, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“It’s impossible to cure someone like Mr. Li Yong with late-stage laryngeal cancer. If it were early or mid-stage, I would be able to cure him. But now, he can only live for another twenty or thirty years at most.”

"Can he live for another twenty or thirty years? Does that mean he'll have to be kept alive with medication?" Dong Qing sighed, thinking about how a conscious person was lying in bed unable to do anything. "Well, it's alright. Although it's a bit painful, at least I can see my daughter get married and my grandson be born. That will make up for some of my regrets."

"Pain? No way! Don't you celebrities take all sorts of medicine every day? Some even eat it like food. Compared to that, Mr. Li Yong only drinks one or two bowls of Chinese medicine every day, which is alright!"

"Of course, his physical condition is definitely worse than that of an average person, but he should be satisfied with being able to walk and talk like an average person."

Anyway, Chen Qing felt that Li Yong's family would definitely be satisfied with this effect. It was cancer! The person was almost on the verge of death, and it was already very difficult for him to be able to walk and talk like a normal person.

"What did you say? Xiao Chen, do you mean that Yong Ge will still be able to walk and talk like us in the future? He won't have to lie in a hospital bed for chemotherapy?"

"No need! I'll do a few more acupuncture treatments and take some medicine for about a week to completely suppress the cancer cells. He'll be able to walk again in about half a month. Of course, he won't be able to run or chat for long periods of time like we do."

Chen Qing spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and his words were like a thunderclap to Dong Qing, making her hair stand on end and leaving her completely shocked.

Late-stage cancer! This is late-stage cancer! Not only can he treat it, but he can also guarantee that the patient can live for another twenty or thirty years, just like an ordinary person. What kind of medical skill is this?
Dong Qing felt completely dumbfounded. As a CCTV host, she had seen all kinds of geniuses over the years, but she had never met anyone like Chen Qing before.
