Chapter 480: 480
The small town had stood at the foot of Tianhu Mountain for so many years, yet it had never been as joyful as today.
Every household hung up big red lanterns, and the aroma of braised meat filled the entire town.
For the past several hundred years, almost everyone had subsisted on chaff and vegetables, with some even starving to death.
Now, at last, someone was able to bring them a large amount of supplies and was gradually improving their living facilities.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the town to become a modernized small city.
Liu Zhongxiang and Li Guokai sat anxiously on the high platform in the square, waiting.
Although Chen Yu had cured those forty-eight patients, he had not removed the root cause of their illnesses.
Only a few hours had passed, and some of those patients were showing signs of relapse—some writhing in pain, even contemplating suicide.
They were all waiting for Chen Yu to bring back the medicine that would completely heal them.
No one knew how much time had passed, but two trucks finally arrived at the square.
Liu Zhongxiang and Li Guokai hurriedly went to meet them.
“Mr. Chen, have you brought back the medicine?”
Chen Yu nodded and carried a bundle to the middle of the square.
“You two, set up a large pot here immediately, then have the families of the patients come to get the medicine.”
The two of them didn’t dare to delay and immediately went to do as instructed.
Before long, a pot was set up in the middle of the square.
Chen Yu dumped all the herbs from the bundle into the pot, and a rich medicinal fragrance began to waft across the square.
Soon, the families of the patients rushed over in a flurry.
Chen Yu adjusted the flame and, after simmering for a full two hours, began to distribute the medicinal soup.
Once all the patients had taken the medicine, he ran to each of their homes to check on them, making sure everyone was alright before finally sitting down in the square again.
Liu Zhongxiang sat beside him.
“Brother Chen, I truly never imagined you could do things I wouldn’t have even dared to dream of.”
Chen Yu lay back, watching the sky.
“Truth be told, I still don’t know what the test given by Heavenly Master Long Tian really is, but at least I can ensure that the people here have a full meal.”
Liu Zhongxiang chuckled twice and lay down beside Chen Yu in a similar fashion.
Just then, Ma Gensheng came running over in a panic.
“Disaster has struck! Wang Sanhu caught some illness and is randomly killing innocents with a hammer on the east side of town.”
Chen Yu sprang to his feet in a panic, having forgotten about that guy.
When he left earlier, he had only knocked him out and hadn’t done anything else to him.
After so much time, Wang Sanhu must have regained consciousness, and this greedy and cunning father and son pair were definitely going to recover their previous losses from the townspeople.
By the time Chen Yu and Liu Zhongxiang arrived on the east side of town, Wang Sanhu stood there bloodied like an asura from hell, surrounded by a dozen or so people sprawled in various positions.
These people weren’t dead, but they had been seriously injured.
When Chen Yu had knocked Wang Sanhu out earlier, he had broken several of his meridians.
This had halved his strength.
Otherwise, who knows how many innocent lives would have been lost.
