Chapter 128: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 128: Divine Art
"Am I going to lose my legs?"
A man sat in the snow, watching everyone cry out in pain. "My legs are numb, what should I do?"
Others heard the commotion and gathered around. Upon seeing the scene, they all showed sympathy.
"What's going on?"
Xu Tian also arrived with his men. Seeing someone sitting on the ground crying out, Zhao Guang frowned.
"Are you pretending, trying to lure us over here?"
"Nonsense!"
The man was immediately enraged. "What benefit would I gain from deceiving you?"
"How do we know if you're not using this as an excuse to ride in the carriage?" Zhao Guang sneered.
"You..."
"Enough, stop arguing."
Xu Tian interrupted them. "I've already sent someone to find Master Chen. He will send a doctor to come over."
When they heard the commotion earlier, he thought someone might have frozen to death, so he hurriedly sent someone to find the Chen family doctor and rushed over himself.
Soon, Chen Xue and the others arrived with the doctor. After understanding the situation, Doctor Yang began to diagnose.
He tapped on the man's knee and pricked his leg with a needle, but the man felt nothing, and Doctor Yang had an idea.
"I'll try acupuncture. If there's still no sensation, there's nothing more I can do."
Upon hearing this, the man's face turned pale, crying out, "Please, doctor, save me! Without legs, how can I live?"
Leaving aside the fact that they were still far from Nanman, how would he continue his journey without legs? No one would carry him, so how could he travel? He might even be abandoned as useless, which terrified him, and he didn't want to lose his legs.
"I'll do my best!"
Dr. Yang couldn't make any guarantees due to his limited medical skills, so he could only try acupuncture.
After a while, he looked at the man, who still had no sensation. Dr. Yang sighed, stood up, and shook his head.
"No!"
The man's face turned extremely pale. If he lost his legs, what would be the difference between him and someone sentenced to death?
"Doctor, is there really no other way?" Xu Tian asked, unwilling to give up.
"In the city, perhaps, but not here." Dr. Yang sighed. Indeed, there were many methods in the city, but in the snowy wilderness... there were no resources.
"Help, help me! My legs can't move either!"
Suddenly, someone nearby shouted in panic. Everyone looked over and saw another person clutching his feet, his face filled with despair and fear.
"Help me, my legs can't move!"
Seeing Dr. Yang, the man cried out as if he had seen a lifesaving straw.
However, his cry seemed to ignite something, as suddenly, the people around him also lost sensation in their legs.
Evidently, standing in the snow for so long had caused their legs to freeze, resulting in numbness.
This sudden change made everyone around panic.
Especially since so many people had lost sensation in their legs, it spelled disaster.
They couldn't possibly abandon all these people!
If they took them along, others would have to carry them. But would others be willing? If not, what would they do with these burdens? The carriages were filled with supplies and couldn't accommodate people. This sudden increase in burdens was troublesome.
"Let them fend for themselves!"
Kuang Wei sneered nearby.
"Impossible!"
Xu Tian interrupted him. "I won't abandon them!"
"But these burdens..."
"Make way!"
At this moment, a clear voice rang out, and then several bailiffs pushed through the crowd, clearing a path.
Then, everyone saw Chen Xue walking over.
"Miss!"
Dr. Yang ran over. "It's my incompetence..."
Chen Xue waved her hand to interrupt his self-blame. "It's not your fault!"
Then, she looked at the man with frozen legs. "Roll up his pants and rub them with snow!"
The Chen family servants naturally acted without hesitation, but the man struggled desperately and cried out.
"Let go of me, what are you doing!"
"I haven't offended you, why are you trying to harm me!"
"Help, everyone, look at the evil deeds of the Chen family! I haven't offended them, yet they want to harm me. I'm like this, yet they won't let me go. How vicious are they..."
"Shut up!"
The Chen family servants glared at him. "Say another word, and watch your tongue!"
"Enough!" Chen Xue spoke up. "I'm saving you. If you want to keep your legs, be honest and don't move."
The man wanted to say more but was interrupted by the Chen family servant. "If our young lady wanted to harm you, how could she do it in front of so many people?"
"Moreover, what kind of person are you to make our young lady bother dealing with you?"
Although the Chen family servant's words were harsh, they made sense.
"But his legs are frozen, why rub them with snow? Wouldn't that make it worse?" Someone nearby couldn't bear to watch and criticized.
"Our young lady has her reasons for doing things. Why do you need to meddle?" The Chen family servant glared at the crowd and then directly pressed down on the man, rolling up his pants and rubbing them with snow.
Others wanted to stop them, but seeing several guards glaring at them with weapons in hand and recalling the scene of Chen Yuan and his daughter flying in the snow earlier, they didn't dare to approach.
However, as everyone remained silent, the man suddenly exclaimed.
"Huh, my, my legs, I... I can feel them again!"
The man's excited voice trembled, and he even pushed others aside, digging snow to rub on his feet.
"As long as there's sensation, it's fine. Don't rub anymore you will lose sensation again." Chen Xue interrupted his actions. "Just keep warm."
"This..."
Others widened their eyes, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.
He had been sentenced to death by the doctor, and the doctor had said there was no hope, but just rubbing snow on them had cured the numbness?
"Divine art!"
"This is definitely divine art!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim. Previously, they had speculated that Chen Xue might truly be a disciple of the Kunshan Immortal. Now, seeing that just rubbing snow on legs restored their sensation, what else could it be but divine art?
Some superstitious people even knelt down immediately and kowtowed to Chen Xue, and those whose feet were also frozen joined in pleading.
"Begging the immortal to save me!"
Chen Xue didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding. She just didn't want these chaotic matters to delay their journey.
It was only the beginning of winter, and if they lingered too long and encountered a cold wave, they would all be finished, so she had to step forward.
"Those with frozen legs can all use snow to rub them until they regain sensation."
Leaving behind these words, she left, and others quickly tried. Sure enough, not long after, these people regained sensation, shouting in amazement.
In their hearts, they believed even more firmly that Chen Xue was a disciple of an immortal.
