Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Great Relationship

The ship owner glanced at him and realized they were a pair of siblings working on the boat, then scoffed, raising an eyebrow with disdain, "Even if you have a lot of Silver Coin, you cannot stay here—the rooms were gone long ago."

Hmph, what kind of people are these, mere boat runners and yet they dare to inquire about the price of a room.

Truly a joke!

Remembering the purpose of his trip to the civilian cabin, the ship owner loudly asked, "Is there anyone here with medical skill?"

Someone immediately raised their hand high, "This old one has some medical skill."

The crowd turned to look at this person, only to see a thin, wizened old man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks, his stature small, his back slightly hunched, making him appear even more diminutive.

The ship owner gestured with his hand, "Please come with me."

But the old man struck a pose, "Is there someone who needs medical attention? Please come to this spot, or find me a large room to stay."

The ship owner frowned and snorted, then left the civilian cabin.

Shortly after, a young man in his early twenties, carrying a three or four-year-old girl, came to the cabin.

The young man was quite handsome, with a healthy wheatish complexion, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his figure upright, with a touch of Jianghu in his bearing. But his face was full of concern now, and the look he gave the little girl in his arms was one of heartache and anxiety.

"Who has medical skill?" He scanned the room, shouting, "Who said they had medical skill just now?"

The old man who had raised his hand came forward, "I do."

The young man nodded, "Alright, please have a look at my daughter. She can’t lift her arm—what do you suggest?"

The old man felt the girl’s arm, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Her arm may be ruined, I’m the only one who can treat her. You give me one ingot of Silver, and I will heal her."

The young man asked, "Why would it be ruined?"

The thin, wizened old man said, "This girl’s arm is broken, and if it gets any later, won’t it be ruined?"

The young man said anxiously, "I don’t have any Silver on me right now, but since you can heal, please help quickly. You won’t be shortchanged."

The old man snorted, "Bring me the Silver first, then find me a room to stay."

Seeing the girl’s pained expression as she furrowed her brows, Leng Yu Yan tugged at Ye Yiheng’s clothes, "Take me over there."

"Alright, hold on tight to me, don’t fall!"

Ye Yiheng held her in his embrace, pushing through the crowd.

It took some effort, but they made it to the young man’s side, only for the ship owner to stretch out his hand to block them.

"What are you pushing over here for?"

Ye Yiheng pushed his arm away, letting Leng Yu Yan through.

Leng Yu Yan stepped forward, gently grabbed the little girl’s hand, and softly said, "Little girl, can sister take a look at your arm?"

The old man scoffed, "If the young lady doesn’t have medical skill, she shouldn’t crowd around."

He then said to the young man, "Prepare the Silver and a room for me, and bring me two jin of beef and a pot of wine. After I’ve eaten my fill and drank enough, I’ll make sure to cure your daughter!"

The passengers in the cabin, seeing the old man’s excessive demands, began to think he possessed exceptional medical skill and advised Leng Yu Yan, "Miss, you shouldn’t crowd around and delay the girl’s treatment."

Many people echoed this sentiment.

The young man glanced at Leng Yu Yan’s dirty face and instinctively pulled his daughter closer to the side.

It was then that the girl blinked her tear-filled eyes and gave Leng Yu Yan a nod.

The young man lifted his daughter’s hand to support it, his wary gaze fixed on Leng Yu Yan as if she were about to harm his child.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan was not annoyed; she was in great discomfort herself and had no extra energy to speculate about the thoughts of others.

She calmly reached out and grasped the little girl’s arm, feeling it from top to bottom, and knew immediately that it was just a dislocation.

So with a skilled press, she folded and then unfolded the arm, and said in a faint voice, "There, it’s done."

"It’s done?" The young man obviously didn’t believe it.

The girl before him had sparkling eyes, as if there were tiny lights twinkling inside them. What shocked him even more was her voice, clear and melodious like spring water, extremely pleasant to the ear.

The sharp-faced old man knew in his heart that the little girl had merely dislocated her arm. He had wanted to swindle some money, but he didn’t expect that the girl wearing a shoulder scarf would cut him off, so he raised his voice, "Don’t make the girl’s arm even worse!"

Leng Yu Yan said, "The young lady only had a dislocation, and you demanded silver, insisting on drinking and eating meat before you would treat her. That is simply too heartless."

"You!" Seeing his scheme exposed, the old man’s face turned pale and then flushed, looking very ugly, yet he still stubbornly said, "Who knows if it’s really healed?"

The people inside the cabin began to discuss animatedly.

"A young lady should not be impersonating a Divine Doctor."

"She looks decent enough, I never thought she’d be a swindler."

Someone loudly said, "Miss, stop deceiving people, be careful or you won’t be able to find a husband in the future!"

Just then, the little girl sniffled, raised her arm, and turned her wrist, saying in a babyish voice, "Daddy, it’s really fine now, it doesn’t hurt at all."

Only then did the young man look at Leng Yu Yan in deep shock.

Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes and shifted her focus back to herself, feeling seasick once more.

Ye Yiheng protected her in his arms again and said to the man, "You’re the ship boss, may I ask if there are any rooms available? Price is not an issue."

He didn’t want her to stay another moment in this filthy cabin.

The young man said, "There’s one room left."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the girl who had saved his daughter. Although her face was dirty, she had extremely beautiful features.

Ye Yiheng’s keen eyes looked at the ship owner, who piled on a smile and explained to the ship boss, "I thought he couldn’t afford the silver, so I told him there were no rooms left."

The young man saw the girl hiding in the embrace of the man with a full beard and asked as if compelled by ghosts, "What’s your relationship?"

The ship owner smiled obsequiously again and helped with the answer, "Siblings, they are siblings."

The young man held his daughter upright and gestured with his hand, "Your sister saved my daughter, the room is free of charge, please, this way!"

Leng Yu Yan softly asked, "Is there really only one room left?"

The man said, "Yes, but there are two beds inside. Your siblings can take one each. Just hang a curtain in the middle, it’s better than squeezing in here with so many people."

Ye Yiheng said calmly, "That’s right."

Having said that, he took Leng Yu Yan’s hand and walked forward.

The man saw them holding hands and asked, "You siblings are quite close, aren’t you?"

From the age of seven, boys and girls should start to consciously avoid close contact—how come these siblings were still holding hands?

Seeing his implied meaning, Ye Yiheng answered, "My sister gets seasick; she was uncomfortable in the bad environment just now. If I hadn’t been holding her, she probably would have fainted by now."

The man nodded and praised, "You’re a good brother!"

He had a face full of beard, but turned out to be a caring brother. It was her fortune to have such a brother.

"My name is Jiang Xuan, the owner of this ship." He pointed to the middle-aged man walking ahead and introduced, "He’s the steward on my ship; his name is Liu. Just call him Lao Liu."

Lao Liu turned around, "Yes, let me know if you need anything."

He smiled and quickly turned back around.

He hadn’t expected this brother and sister could also perform medical treatments; it’s fortunate that he hadn’t taken any excessive actions earlier. Moreover, for them to board the ship, they needed his approval after all.
