Chapter 211 Mute Woman
Chapter 211 Mute Woman
"Congenital damage to the vocal cords is due to insufficient Qi in the lungs."
This treatment is a bit complicated and will take some time.
Gu Qianbei said in a low voice, then many treatment methods flashed through his mind.
Huayang acupuncture is naturally the first choice. It uses acupuncture to stimulate and nourish the vocal cords with internal energy, which can repair damaged vocal cords.
Then, the Dragon Tiger Wine replenishes the body's Qi and blood, and together with the Myriad Poisons Cinnabar Paste, it soothes external injuries and resolves the acquired vocal cord atrophy problem.
Yes, it's not difficult to treat.
Afang waved her hand, waking Gu Qianbei from his reverie.
She pointed to her throat, smiled, and waved her hand.
Gu Qianbei understood what that meant.
The girl told me not to worry too much.
Gu Qianbei smiled.
"I have some medical skills and am confident I can treat your vocal cords so you can speak again. Would you like to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Afang's eyes widened in disbelief.
If given the choice, who would willingly choose to be mute?
But soon, Afang realized something.
She took out her two pockets, but they were empty; there was nothing there.
That means they're saying they don't have any money.
"No money needed, I'll treat you for free."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Afang was so shocked that she waved her hands repeatedly, clearly unwilling to accept the free medical treatment.
"Just think of it as cooperating with my medical experiment, okay?"
If you really feel bad about it, you can pay me back after you're cured.
"Treat the illness first, then pay. I won't lose out, and neither will you."
Afang was deeply moved upon hearing this.
She naturally knew that there were no doctors in this world who would treat patients before charging them, so Gu Qianbei's words were clearly meant to be of concern to her.
But upon closer reflection, she realized that Gu Qianbei's suggestion was excellent.
As long as I pay the money, what difference does it make whether I pay sooner or later?
Anyway, I know I definitely won't renege on my debt.
So, Afang extended her right thumb and tapped it to express her gratitude.
"Where do you live? I'll take you home. I'll also check the location so I can come to your house to treat your illness later."
Upon hearing this, Afang had no objections and nodded in agreement.
She cautiously returned to the ice cream stand and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that the Axe Gang members were gone.
"Let me push it for you."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Afang waved her hands repeatedly, insisting on doing it herself.
Seeing her insistence, Gu Qianbei did not force her.
This little girl truly lives a stubborn yet beautiful life amidst this chaotic world.
Led by Afang, Gu Qianbei arrived at a secluded alley.
Deep in the alley is where Afang lives.
It was dark and damp, even worse than Pig Cage Alley.
Gu Qianbei was secretly surprised when he saw this.
Indeed, no matter when, there are always people in this world suffering unimaginable hardships.
Afang opened the door and warmly welcomed Gu Qianbei.
The room is small, only ten square meters, but everything in it exudes a positive and uplifting atmosphere.
Afang kept the room very clean and tidy.
A moment later, Afang poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Gu Qian's instant noodles.
"The location is nice."
Gu Qianbei said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Afang beamed with joy.
She had just been worried that Gu Qianbei would dislike the place she was staying.
"Let's begin the treatment."
Gu Qianbei took a sip of water and said softly.
Afang nodded repeatedly.
Gu Qianbei helped Afang sit down in a chair, then took out the Cangguang Gourd and poured her a cup of Dragon Tiger Wine.
"This wine can help restore your energy and blood; please have a glass."
Afang had no doubts and drank it down in one gulp.
The next moment, she felt her body getting warm.
It felt as if a warm sensation spread from my stomach throughout my body.
This feeling was wonderful, giving her a magical experience she had never had before.
"Alright, let's begin."
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, golden light gathered in his hands, transforming into golden needles that landed on Afang's head, neck, and throat.
In just a moment, Afang's hair turned into a hedgehog's spiky hairstyle.
As internal energy was injected into it, the golden needles trembled, and Afang felt a tingling numbness in her throat.
It felt like something was about to grow out.
"what……"
Afang couldn't help but make a sound.
She was stunned by her own shout.
Because she had never heard her own voice.
At that moment, she actually spoke.
Although it was just a series of indistinct syllables, it was enough to show that she was capable of speaking.
This is incredible.
"Good, the first treatment has already shown results."
Gu Qianbei nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew all the gold needles.
"That concludes today's treatment. The vocal cords are delicate; prolonged treatment can actually damage them."
Afang immediately cast a grateful glance at Gu Qianbei.
"Thanks……"
Afang wanted to say thank you, but the sound she made was inaudible, only a sobbing sound.
Gu Qianbei smiled and said, "No need to thank me in time. Your treatment will take a few more days to be completely finished."
You can thank me after you're fully recovered.
It's best to speak less for now and let your voice rest.
"To avoid getting injured again just when things are starting to look up."
Upon hearing this, Afang nodded repeatedly, not daring to say anything more.
"It's getting late, I have to go."
Gu Qianbei got up to leave, but Afang stopped him.
She touched her stomach and then pointed to the kitchen.
"Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
After spending more time together, Gu Qianbei could also understand Afang's intentions.
Afang nodded repeatedly, clearly he had guessed correctly.
"OK."
Seeing that Gu Qianbei agreed, Afang was overjoyed.
Fortunately, she went to buy groceries in the morning and had some ingredients at home, enough to cook a meal.
Those were meant to be three days' worth of food for Afang, but she used them all this time.
There was even a piece of meat.
Before long, Afang had prepared three dishes and a soup.
The dishes were simple, yet quite heartwarming.
Of course, the taste was just average.
Without any extra seasoning, relying solely on the ingredients themselves, and without any complicated cooking methods, it's not easy to make it delicious.
Afang doesn't have that kind of talent.
However, Gu Qianbei ate very well.
Because he tasted a young girl's sincere gratitude in the food.
"Since the Axe Gang has their eyes on you, you'd better stay home these next few days and avoid trouble."
"The ice cream business can wait; safety comes first."
Before leaving after finishing his meal, Gu Qianbei said this.
But Afang hesitated.
If she doesn't set up her stall for a day, she won't have any income.
And she had just been robbed by the Axe Gang, losing all her savings.
Gu Qianbei seemed to have noticed her concerns. He had originally intended to give her money, but having just experienced the girl's persistence, he knew it was unlikely he would agree.
"Okay. If you insist on setting up a stall, I'll go with you."
If we run into the Axe Gang, I'll help you escape.
Gu Qianbei laughed.
Afang's eyes lit up, but she quickly felt that this was too much trouble for Gu Qianbei and felt a little bad about it.
"Don't feel embarrassed. I've been very free lately, and I was just planning to go out for a stroll anyway."
It's good to find something to do.
Well then, see you tomorrow.
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, he turned and left, waving his right hand upwards, leaving Afang with only a dashing back view.
As she watched him leave, Afang smiled.
