Chapter 901: Unlucky
“Bear with it a little!”
A click sound could be heard.
“Ahhh!” The man screamed.
“Bear with it. The pain is only temporary,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
After he had set the man’s arm back in place, w.a.n.g Yao ma.s.saged his dislocated joint with a special method to help the blood flow and promote the smooth flow of blood vessels to avoid congestion, swelling, and pain. He simply bandaged and put the dislocated place in position. After the treatment, he dealt with the wounds on his body. The wounds were not severe. The skin on his arm and thigh was bruised and broken. Just a simple application of medical ointment would do.
“Uncle, you should slow down when riding in the future,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Don’t mention it,” the middle-aged man said with a sigh. “I was not riding very fast. When I got to the village, a shadow suddenly jumped out from G.o.d knows where. It scared me. I turned the handlebars quickly and hit the stone. Alas, it’s a pity. I just bought the electric bike. I’ve only been riding it for less than two months!”
“All is good as long as you’re not badly injured by the fall,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile. “You can ride the bike after taking it to be fixed.”
“Ah, Xiao Yao, tell me, do you think it is strange?” the man asked. “Before I fell, I saw a figure flash in front of my eyes. When I got up, there was no one around.”
“Could it be that you saw it wrong?”
“Well, I think that is probably the case as well,” the middle-aged man said. “Maybe it is because I have been working overtime continuously, so it made me too tired. Besides, it was already dark, so I could not see it very clearly. Maybe it was my mistake.”
At this time of day, the sky outside was completely dark.
“All done?”
“All done, Uncle. You’re fine,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Go back and get some rest. With a dislocated arm, you shouldn’t exercise hard for at least half a month.” He had used a special way to fix his arm. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer to heal properly.
“Ah, the recovery period is so long,” the middle-aged man said. Doesn’t that mean that I won’t be able to do any work for the next half a month? If you add on the broken electric bike, thousands of dollars had been lost in this fall!
“It’s a short time,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Don’t take any chances. If you are not careful, your arm might get dislocated repeatedly and cause sequelae. You will be in trouble then.”
To be honest, there was a possibility of that happening. A joint in the human body could easily relapse after multiple dislocations.
“Ah, I see. How much is it?” The man sounded a little annoyed. Now that things had already happened, it was useless to be annoyed or angry. He just had to take good care of himself. As for work, he would have to let it go for a while, postponing it for about 10 days.
“We are all from the same village, so forget it.” w.a.n.g Yao waved his hand. He had just used some ordinary medical ointment to treat the injury caused by the fall. It was not worth much money. This middle-aged man was also quite warm-hearted. He had helped out when the mountain was on fire. w.a.n.g Yao kept those things in mind.
“Well, thank you.” The man got up and went out.
“Uncle, wait a moment.” w.a.n.g Yao suddenly found that the man’s aura was not right, so he stopped him.
When he had come in, w.a.n.g Yao felt a cold aura. He thought it was the cold air the man had brought in when he came in from the outside. Now, he felt that it was not the case. It was a cold aura.
“Uncle, let me take a look for you again,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“What’s the matter?” The middle-aged man was stunned.
“There is no problem. I am just reconfirming,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
As he spoke, his hands slightly closed.
His neixi instantly spread out and wrapped around the middle-aged man, melting the cold aura off his body.
The man moved his body a little.
“Xiao Yao, what did you do to me just now?”
“Nothing, I just made sure I was right,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “What’s the matter, Uncle?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. I felt my body get a little warmer just now, and I feel more comfortable,” the middle-aged man said. Just a moment ago, he felt that there was a warm heat wrapped around him. It entered his body through his clothes. It had felt very comfortable. That feeling was like the last time he went to Li Jia Gou resort to soak in the hot springs.
“It may be because you are in this room. When your Qi and blood are restored, your body will naturally warm up,” w.a.n.g Yao said, “OK, everything’s fine. Get home safely.”
“Oh, yes, thank you,” the man said.
He felt his body carefully again. The comfortable feeling he had just felt had disappeared, but he still felt much better than when he arrived. He didn’t feel so cold or sleepy anymore.
“By the way, Uncle, was where you had the accident at the intersection in the village?” w.a.n.g Yao asked. “Isn’t there a graveyard on the hillside diagonally opposite?”
“Yes, that was the place. There are always accidents there. The people in the village found a Feng Shui expert to look at it. They said it’s related to the graveyard on the hillside. The graveyard faces the intersection, and many strange things happen there. A stone tower was built beside the intersection.” The middle-aged man suddenly seemed to realize something and asked, “Ah, Xiao Yao, do you think my accident was because I encountered something unlucky?”
At first, he wasn’t thinking about it. After w.a.n.g Yao brought it up, he began to think about it. What had happened to him at that intersection was indeed weird. The shadow had flashed by, but there was nothing there when he looked again. At the thought of those unclean things, he felt afraid and cold all over.
“You are thinking too much, Uncle,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “I have already said that it might be because you were too tired and distracted from your work. You should pay more attention when you ride your bike in the future. It’s a dark road. The lights are not very bright either.”
“Yes, alright, I’m leaving now.” The middle-aged man nodded and left the clinic.
w.a.n.g Yao walked the man out of the door. He turned to lock the clinic and walked home.
Could he have really encountered something dirty at the location?
In the past, w.a.n.g Yao was a firm atheist. Since he had gone to that county in the south and entered that ancient tomb with those celestial masters from Longhu Mountain, many of his previous ideas had been completely overturned. Since those kinds of things existed, wasn’t it possible to run into evil and encounter unclean things?
He went home to eat and stopped thinking about it for a while.
The middle-aged man, who had just gone to the clinic, returned home with a body full of injuries. It scared his wife. His clothes were torn and had some bloodstains. There were also some abrasions on his face.
“What happened to you?”
“Don’t mention it. I hit a stone at the intersection of the village,” the middle-aged man said.
“What did you run into? Do you need to go to the hospital?” The woman was concerned.
In their family, there were old people and young children to feed. She did not have a job and could only farm a few acres of land at home. This man was the pillar of the family, and he could not fall.
“It’s fine. I went to Xiao Yao’s clinic to have him take a look. My arm was dislocated. He set it back. Otherwise, it is just some abrasions. He also gave me medicine for the abrasions. He said that it would be fine after resting for a couple of days.”
“That’s good.” Upon hearing that he was fine, the woman was a little relieved.
“Don’t you have to go to the hospital to take a look?”
“No, it’s not like you don’t know Xiao Yao’s standard,” the man said. “Countless people’s illnesses that can’t be treated in the hospital are treated by him.”
“Alright, change your clothes and come eat,” the woman said.
Instead of rus.h.i.+ng into the room to change, he hesitantly said, “Ah, I thought about it, and I might have run into something unclean.”
“Something unclean?” The woman stopped what she was doing and looked at her husband.
Following that, the man told her about his accident at the village intersection. The woman’s expression quickly changed.
“It’s can’t be that you ran into evil spirits, right? People have said that there are some evil spirits at that intersection. Isn’t there a graveyard on the hillside not far away?”
“Well, I think there was something off with the incident today.”
“For now, you change your clothes. I’ll find Auntie Zhang and ask her to come over to take a look,” the woman said.
“OK.”
The woman went out of the door. She soon came home with a woman in her 60s. The woman was not tall. Her hair was gray, but she looked hale and hearty. Her steps were also energetic.
There were usually one or two people like her in every village. They were good at inviting immortals and seeing into the future. Some people had b.u.mped into unclean things and were scared would ask people like her to help solve it.
“Auntie, please take a look for me.”
“Alright,” the old woman replied. She got a bowl of water and an incense stick and took a look around.
After a while, the woman said, “Well, yes, you have encountered something unclean.”
“Really?”
“Yes, it was at the corner of the village,” the old woman said.
Wow! The couple looked at each other. When the wife went to invite her over, she had only said that something had happened to her husband. She didn’t say where it had happened. Unexpectedly, the woman instantly knew. She had some skills.
“Auntie, can you take a look and see what should I do?”
“This is an immortal that should be invited out,” the old woman said.
“Auntie, how do I do it?” the man’s wife asked. “Please tell me. I do not know about it either.”
“Alright.” The old woman told her what to buy and how to deal with it. It was very detailed.
“Tonight?”
“It is too late tonight,” the old woman said. “You can prepare it tomorrow. Tomorrow evening, I will come help you.”
“Alright, thank you, Auntie.” The woman thanked the old woman and sent her back.
The man frowned as he said, “I really did encounter something unclean.”
“Can it be fake?” his wife asked. “It’s not the first time Auntie Zhang has settled these things. Could she be wrong? Anyway, I’ll do what she says tomorrow. I’ll prepare everything in the morning.”
“OK,” the man said. Now that he thought about it, he could not help but remember the last part of his visit with w.a.n.g Yao. “Could it be that he knew too?”
“What are you muttering about?” his wife asked.
“Ah, nothing, nothing,” the man replied.
