After the Reborn Young Master Embraced a Life of Wellness – Chapter 23

At four o’clock in the afternoon, in a Chinese medicine clinic called Shengcaotang, two kilometers away from the gate of No. 1 Middle School.

Chen Mo was half-sitting on a single massage bed that was only one person wide.

His knee was already visibly red and swollen, and an elderly Chinese doctor in a white coat and glasses was bending over and inserting needles into the acupuncture points on his knee.

A palm-sized needle pierced into the flesh, with the end still swaying and emitting a cold glow.

The other young people present were trembling with fear at the sight.

“Does it hurt?” Gou Yiyang couldn’t help but ask the person sitting there.

Chen Mo’s forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but he seemed to be very good at enduring the pain, and there was no extra expression on his face. He raised his head and twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard it, “How about you try it instead?”

“No, no, no.” Gou Yiyang waved his hands quickly, still a little incredulous. “Before, you asked me to help you up on the stairs at Yang’s house. You said you had rheumatism and I thought you were joking. It turns out you were serious.”

There were four or five boys who came together.

At that time in the playground, everyone saw that he couldn’t walk at all and thought he had broken a bone, so they rushed him to the hospital.

Although his leg was not broken, the reality didn’t seem to be much better.

Qi Lin and his companions were even more confused.

“Your leg condition looks serious. What happened?”

“Yeah, I ran so fast on the court, but after taking a half-hour break, I couldn’t even walk.”

Chen Mo simply replied: “Frozen.”

“Frozen?” Others were even more puzzled. “How cold must it be to freeze your feet like this?”

At this time, the Chinese medicine practitioner who had just finished giving the acupuncture raised his head.

He glanced at the young man in front of him who had not made a single mistake from beginning to end and nodded with satisfaction. Many middle-aged men came to him for treatment and were made to cry for their parents after being injected with the needle.

The old man was packing up his things while saying, “Your leg is not just frozen. You obviously had an external injury first, and then the cold caused you to be in such a serious condition.”

Chen Mo nodded, “Yes, I was hurt.”

The old man glanced at him and continued, “You have some acute inflammation today. Come to my place for five days of acupuncture and take medicine as an aid. You will recover soon.”

Gou Yiyang became happy, “So this is completely healed?”

“What are you thinking about?” The old man turned around and rolled his eyes at him, then continued, “His condition cannot be completely cured. It’s like a broken bowl. Even if you put it back together, the cracks are still there. Reduce strenuous exercise and keep warm when the weather is cold, especially in winter. As long as the condition doesn’t get worse and you take precautions to prevent a relapse, you’ll be cured.”

The other people were silent after hearing this.

Chen Mo was unusually calm and said, “I know. I’ll pay attention.”

“You young people.” The old man didn’t believe it at all. “You are nice in words, but you turn a deaf ear to the doctor’s words. Young people, you must be careful, otherwise you will suffer in the next few years.”

Chen Mo smiled and said, “I really know.”

How could I not know?

In my previous life, I had no concept of maintenance. When I was busy, I basically relied on painkillers to get through the day.

The most serious time was when fluid accumulated in his knee and he had a high fever that wouldn’t go away, so he had to undergo surgery. However, the prognosis was worse than he had expected. During those two years, whenever the weather changed, he would suffer from dull pain. He never stopped taking medicine for this leg.

Having suffered once, he is not a born masochist, so he should certainly take it seriously when there is still room for improvement.

As he was speaking, Xi Siyan came in, pulling aside the curtain.

He held several prescriptions in his hand.

“How is he?” he asked the old Chinese doctor in a familiar tone.

The old man took the list from him and looked at it, then said unhappily, “I have already said what I need to say. If I hadn’t seen you guys rushing in today and thought something big had happened, no matter how prestigious your Xi family is, I would never have let you cut in line, don’t you understand?”

Xi Siyan responded: “I came to bother you because I know your ability.”

The old man snorted again, glanced at Chen Mo, turned back to Xi Siyan and said, “Watch him. This needle will take an hour. Don’t move.”

The old Chinese doctor passed away.

Someone asked Xi Siyan: “Brother Yan, how come you know Chinese medicine?”

“That’s Master Pang, a famous Chinese medicine expert. My grandfather has relied on him for most of his illnesses over the years.” Xi Siyan said as he walked to the cabinet next to Chen Mo, picked up the phone that was charging on it, and said to the others, “You guys go back to school and continue your classes. I’ll take him back after the acupuncture is done.”

“It’s okay, we’ll go together.”

“Yeah, they’re all here anyway.”

Xi Siyan turned the message on his phone to several people, “Lao Xiang just sent a message asking, if you don’t want to be punished, reply quickly. There is an exam tomorrow, and so many people are not attending the class, do you really think he doesn’t care about anything?”

Several people shrank their necks and had to say hello to Chen Mo before leaving one by one.

Gou Yiyang, who was walking at the end, saw Xi Siyan still flipping through his phone and suggested, “Brother Yan, why don’t you go back? I’ll watch from here.”

“You?” Xi Siyan looked up from his phone, his eyes expressionless. “He’s coming for five days straight, and I may not be able to make it to evening self-study after the injection. Aren’t you going home? He and I share a dorm, so it’s easier for me to go in and out than you. Let’s go.”

Gou Yiyang looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, “Just do as he says, I’m fine here.”

“Okay, call me if you need anything.”

Gou Yiyang also left. Xi Siyan dragged a stool over from the side and sat on Chen Mo’s left.

He continued to press the phone, probably explaining the situation to Xiang Shenglong.

Chen Mo was a little bored.

The acupuncture site has some soreness, numbness, swelling and pain, which is tolerable but cannot be ignored. In this small physiotherapy room, he can only look out the small window next to him and look at the various succulent potted plants planted in the corridor to divert his attention.

His cell phone vibrated.

I picked it up and found that the message was sent by Lao Gou who had just left.

Gou Yiyang: “If you really can’t stand being with the squad leader, I’ll find a way to accompany you in the next few days.”

Chen Mo: “?”

Gou Yiyang: “Although he didn’t say anything, I felt that he had some emotions that he couldn’t express. When I think about you, you will have to stay with him like this for an hour for the next five days, I feel suffocated for you.”

Chen Mo: “…”

Chen Mo subconsciously glanced at Xi Siyan.

Probably noticing his gaze, Xi Siyan looked up and then looked at the needle on his body: “Does it hurt?”

“Not bad.” Chen Mo shook his head and asked, “What did Lao Xiang say?”

Xi Siyan should have finished replying to the message and put away his phone. “I didn’t say anything. I told you to have a good rest. For tomorrow’s exam, ask someone at the nearest examination center to help you.”

Chen Mo was quite experienced and said directly: “There is no need. It’s not like I can’t leave. Besides, I can come by myself in the next few days.”

Xi Siyan didn’t say whether he should come by himself or not.

He sat on the chair for a while, looking at Chen Mo, and suddenly asked: “Did you injure your foot at Chen’s house?”

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and nodded: “Yeah.”

Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said.

Chen Mo leaned back and relaxed. On such an evening afternoon, he talked about what happened that day for the first time. “It was five years ago or four years ago, I can’t remember clearly, it was winter. My mother… Li Yunru had a migraine. She was beaten by Chen Jianli all year round and did a lot of heavy work, so she had a lot of problems. She gave me five yuan and asked me to go to the village doctor to get some medicine for her. On my way back, it started snowing heavily. Yuhuai Village is different from Suicheng. It is located in the highest altitude area of ​​Baima County. It snows every winter. When the snow is heavy, it can bury people’s calves…”

Chen Jicheng drank again that day and lost money.

When Chen Mo walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Chen Jicheng was dragging Li Yunru over the threshold by her hair, with blood all over the floor.

Li Yunru was pregnant, but no one knew it that day.

Chen Mo instinctively went up to drag him, but his knee was hit by a wine jar by the furious Chen Jianli. He called him a bastard and said he stole money. He tied him up with a rope and tied him to an open well to make him reflect on his mistakes.

In the middle of the night, Li Yunru looked like she was dying, so Chen Jicheng finally sobered up. Fearing that someone might die, he found a few big men in the village to take her to the town hospital overnight.

Chen Mo remembered the small wooden courtyard of the Chen family and the square sky.

It was really cold that night. He thought his mother might die, even though she had not been very good to him, nor very bad to him. He would also freeze to death tonight.

In fact, Li Yunru was discharged from the hospital three days later.

She was lost in the pain of losing another child. When her son, who was barely saved, was found and brought back to her the next morning, she just asked, “Where have you been these days? You are so ignorant.”

When the Yang family found him.

Chen Mo is no longer the little kid walking in the snow late at night, nor is he the one who was beaten by Chen Jicheng for five dollars and was unable to fight back.

The Chen family is a pool of mud that will make you smelt foul once you step into it.

What the Yang family did was heartbreaking.

The so-called high-ranking family, when it comes to interests, he cares because he cannot see clearly. By the time he can see clearly, his life has started over again.

The treatment room was unusually quiet.

The last rays of dusk light streamed in through the window.

Xi Siyan couldn’t tell where the calmness on Chen Mo’s face came from.

“I thought you would want revenge.” Xi Siyan said.

Chen Mo glanced at him and laughed twice, “How to take revenge? Kill my adoptive parents? And then destroy the Yang family?”

“Never thought about it?”

Chen Mo nodded honestly, “I have thought about it.”

He has done it before.

It was Chen Jicheng who was sent to prison by him. The year Li Yunru died of illness, Chen Mo went to see her specially and told her that her beloved son was on vacation abroad and did not want to see her for the last time.

Also, just one week after Yang Zhu transferred his shares to Yang Shule, Chen Mo left Yang Zhu with a lot of trouble. Even if the Yang family could barely hold on, they would definitely suffer a great loss of vitality.

Although he didn’t have the chance to see it.

He has done everything he can and cannot do.

Otherwise, Chen Mo would not have been regarded as a madman by so many people.

But this time, Chen Mo, leaning back in the small geotherapy room in a relaxed posture, looked at the person in front of him who was least likely to get familiar with him, and said lazily: “But ideas and practice are two different things. I have all these problems, not to mention killing the Chens, I’m almost going to run the Chinese and Western Hospital. Besides, I may not even be in the top ten in my grade. If I graduate from a third-rate university in the future, it would be a fantasy to bring down the Yang family. The worst thing a person can do is to make things difficult for himself. Isn’t it good for everyone to be happy?”

Xi Siyan put down his right foot that was resting on his knee and nodded, “Indeed.”

A few simple words from the other party made the gloomy atmosphere that just filled the space disappear completely. Xi Siyan looked at the face in front of him that had regained its drowsiness and was silent for two seconds. The meaning of his eyes was hard to tell: “If you really think so, it would be best.”

“Yeah.” Chen Mo nodded perfunctorily, “Please ask the doctor. I’m starting to feel some pain.”

Xi Siyan stood up and looked down at him: “Can’t you bear it anymore?”

“Yes, that’s the limit, hurry up.”

The story of Chen Mo getting himself into a Chinese medicine clinic while playing basketball was a hot topic among the high school students.

He has become famous recently and people greeted him along the way back to school.

The answer is always: “I’m fine, I’m not lame.”

Everyone looked at it and thought it was quite normal.

But it rained heavily the next day during the monthly exam.

Once the weather changes at the end of October, the wind is so strong that people want to take out their cotton clothes and wrap themselves up.

Before Chen Mo returned, he had taken a monthly exam. It was his first exam after entering No. 1 Middle School, and his score was average. So the exam room he was assigned was on the third floor.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, many students arrived at the bottom of the teaching building one after another. When they shook their colorful umbrellas, large water droplets flew out.

When there were the most people, a shout suddenly came from the third floor.

“Lao Gou, where are my knee pads?!”

People passing by, waiting for someone, or collecting their umbrellas all looked up.

I saw the school bully lying on the railing. He looked like he had just been there not long ago, and there was rain on his forehead. He saw the person who had just come up the stone stairs below, and then said, “I remember putting breakfast in your bag!”

Lao Gou, who was being watched like an animal, was so upset, “Why did you put it in my bag?”

“I didn’t feel cold this morning.” The school bully shook his hair, and he really looked like a wet animal. He didn’t feel that his request and actions damaged his image as a high school bully. “I’m cold now, come up.”

Five minutes later, many people in the examination room had already sat down properly, waiting for the paper to be opened.

The invigilators also walked into the classroom one after another, holding the papers.

“Report.” At this moment, a certain examination room on the third floor was experiencing a small boom.

The invigilator turned his head and saw the person at the door. He said in a very gentle manner, “Looking for someone? No problem, come in. There’s still time.”

The top student in the grade arrived at this examination room with ordinary results, holding a pair of brown and black plush knee pads in his hands.

Go straight to the middle.

“Why are you here?” The school bully looked up and looked around amid the buzzing sound. “Look at you, you’re so eye-catching, like a national leader visiting the slums.”

Xi Siyan glanced at him and said, “You look like someone from the slums. People are saying that the school bully is so cold in the morning that he asks people to wear long johns.”

“Give it to me.” The school bully stretched out his hand coldly.

The people in the examination room saw that the school bully did not take what belonged to him.

Instead, the top male idol in the grade lowered his eyes slightly, frowned, and asked, “Does it hurt again?”

Low, like a whisper.
