Chapter 73: Chapter 75 Stand Up
Chapter Seventy-Five
About half a Chinese hour later, Long Xiaoshan finally stopped and said, "Auntie, you've been soaking for half the day to let the medicinal effect seep in. After lying down for another two days, I think you should be able to make a full recovery."
"Thank you," Liu Yufeng now dared not open her eyes.
Having Long Xiaoshan find out about her condition earlier, especially since he was only a bit older than her daughter, had her feeling all over the place, and she didn't dare open her eyes to look at Long Xiaoshan again.
"Wang Feng, Wang Yan, I'm going to rest for a bit,"
said Long Xiaoshan as he found an excuse to leave the room.
Before they knew it, two days had passed.
During these two days, Long Xiaoshan prepared a medicinal bath for Liu Yufeng every day.
After two days of soaking and the action of many tonifying and strength-reinforcing medicines, Liu Yufeng's body had visibly put on weight, and her complexion was no longer so pale and unattractive, becoming considerably more rosy and healthy-looking.
What was even more surprising was that she could now sit up entirely on her own.
Moreover, all her limbs had regained sensation, which proved that her bodily functions had recovered.
On the third day, as Long Xiaoshan stood by the bed and carefully checked Liu Yufeng's body, he smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, your nerves have now recovered. You can try to stand up and see."
Wang Feng and Wang Yan had been constantly by her side, and when they heard Long Xiaoshan say this,
"Immortal, is it really healed?"
"Big Brother Long, can my mom stand up now?"
Surprise shone in both their eyes, along with a bit of trepidation, and this included Liu Yufeng.
After all, she had laid there for far too long, gone through countless treatments, and spent tens of millions. Even the best hospitals abroad had been tried but to no avail.
"Mom, let me help you," Wang Yan said as she grasped Liu Yufeng's right hand.
Long Xiaoshan also held her left hand, and the two of them helped Liu Yufeng up. Liu Yufeng carefully placed her feet on the floor, hesitated for a moment, and now, at this point, became apprehensive about trying.
Knowing her thoughts, which were the fear of facing disappointment once again, Long Xiaoshan encouraged her, "Aunt Liu, you can do it."
"Mom, you can do it!"
Wang Yan encouraged her as well.
Spurred on by both, Liu Yufeng planted her feet firmly on the ground and found that there was a supporting force rather than the complete lack of sensation she used to experience.
Could it really be possible?
"Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!"
Whether it was Wang Feng, Wang Yan, or Long Xiaoshan, they all clenched their fists, loudly cheering and motivating Liu Yufeng.
"You must stand up!"
Seeing their determination, Liu Yufeng also summoned a strong resilience in her heart, applied strength throughout her body, pressed her feet to the ground, and with the help of the other two, came to a standing position. At that moment, Liu Yufeng was completely standing on the ground, her body straightened up.
At this time, Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan were still supporting Liu Yufeng's upper body. Long Xiaoshan gave Wang Yan a look.
Both slowly and carefully withdrew their hands, ready to catch Liu Yufeng in case she fell.
However, their precaution was unnecessary because Liu Yufeng was completely stunned. The shock of being able to stand up rendered her utterly frozen, entirely unaware that Long Xiaoshan and Wang Yan had already let go.
Long Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Aunt Liu, you can now start to stand and move around again."
"Mom, you're cured, you're cured!"
Wang Yan hugged Liu Yufeng excitedly.
Wang Feng was also very emotional.
After all, he was already dead, and the family had already lost one member; if another one were to fall, the family would not be able to sustain itself.
She heard the voices of several people.
Once again, she was tightly embraced by her daughter, and at this moment, Liu Yufeng also recovered from the shock, clearly knowing that she could stand up again.
Realizing this, she suddenly burst into violent sobbing.
Ever since her husband disappeared, followed by her own car accident, which left her bedridden, countless treatments had proved ineffective, and she was utterly despaired.
She thought that this was it for her life, that she could only lie in bed for the remainder of her days.
It didn't matter to her if she died, but she couldn't rest easy about her daughter. She had long suspected that the odds for Wang Feng were grim, but for her daughter's sake, she had to carry on.
However, such repeated treatments had drained all their savings, the company had gradually slipped into the hands of others, even the family's villa had been mortgaged, and still, her condition wasn't cured, leading her to complete disappointment.
If it weren't for her daughter, she would have committed suicide long ago.
But in such a desperate time, Long Xiaoshan came along, like a savior, rescuing her from despair.
He helped her stand up again.
The emotional impact made her unable to control her tears, and she cried her heart out.
All the pent-up emotions of the past few years were being released.
"Mom," Wang Yan, seeing Liu Yufeng crying so hard, couldn't help but burst into tears as well.
In truth, she too had borne a lot of pressure but had kept it to herself so as not to worry her mother, even smiling through the coercion from Feng Boo to be his girlfriend.
Now that her mother had recovered, the last strand of strength in her heart also broke.
The mother and daughter wept together in each other's arms.
"It's my fault, it's all my fault, I have let you down," Wang Feng, being a ghost, couldn't cry, but he was endlessly blaming himself at this moment.
Watching his family release their familial affection and pressure, Long Xiaoshan exhaled and quietly stepped outside without disturbing them.

At that moment, he could feel a tremendous amount of merit flowing into the Jade Purifying Bottle.
A feeling of immense satisfaction arose within him, not so much because he had gained a lot of merit, but because he had helped someone, bringing a shattered family back to wholeness. That joy was something that earning merit couldn't replace.
Half an hour later, Wang Feng, Liu Yufeng, and Wang Yan came out of the room.
They went to the living room and saw Long Xiaoshan sitting there.
All three of them knelt down.
Long Xiaoshan quickly stood up and said, "What are you doing? You're overwhelming me."
Liu Yufeng said, "Xiaoshan, without you, I couldn't have stood up. I had lost all hope in this life. You cured me, you are my savior, a rebirth. Bowing to you is nothing."
"Aunt Liu, please get up, if you continue like this, I'll have to leave," Long Xiaoshan urged them.
The three of them stood up upon hearing Long Xiaoshan's words.
Long Xiaoshan observed Wang Feng and noticed that his malignance had lessened considerably.
Wang Feng understood what Long Xiaoshan meant when he looked at him.
He immediately knelt down again and said, "Immortal, I know you've already helped me a lot, and I shouldn't be asking for anything else now; I should move on to my next life. But Immortal, I simply can't swallow this grievance. I am certain that my own death wasn't an accident, and I am sure that Yufeng's mishap isn't a coincidence either. There must be someone behind it, and I need to find out the truth. Otherwise, Yufeng and little Yan will still be in danger."
Long Xiaoshan pondered.
It wasn't a coincidence that after the accident that befell Wang Feng, Liu Yufeng also met with one. There had to be something untoward about it.
So Wang Feng's concerns were not unfounded. If the culprit wasn't found, Liu Yufeng and the others might face further misfortune.
Since he was already helping, he might as well help to the end. Otherwise, if something happened to Liu Yufeng and the rest, he wouldn't feel at peace either. He said, "Alright, I'll help you find the perpetrator."
