Chapter 357: Chapter 357: The Doctor’s True Heart

Ye Yiheng refused to let anyone question Leng Yu Yan’s medical skill.

For two consecutive nights, she had helped him detoxify, and he had clearly felt his body growing warmer. Perhaps letting others feel his temperature would reveal no change, but he knew his own body best.

Although he did not know how long this detoxification would take, it at least proved that Leng Yu Yan’s medical skill was indeed excellent.

At this moment, not far away, that sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked old man was so arrogant. Ye Yiheng narrowed his eyes and turned to Lao Liu, "You lead the shipmen to search the old man’s body first, and if there’s nothing, then search the civilian cabin."

Lao Liu bowed gratefully to Ye Yiheng, "You are absolutely right, sir. This way, the old man won’t be able to slander our ship owner."

He immediately waved his hand, signaling the shipmen to follow him.

Before long, the shipmen surrounded the old man, and Lao Liu approached Jiang Xuan, "Ship owner, allow me to search his body."

Upon hearing the words, Jiang Xuan, gripping the old man’s collar tightly, used strength in his arm to lift the man up.

Violently hoisted from the deck, his feet dangling in the air, the old man yelled in panic, "What’s there to search! You are bullying others with your power!"

Jiang Xuan gave the old man’s body a shake. He was already thin and small; shaken like this, his body swung like a worn-out sack.

Soon, a porcelain bottle fell out of the old man’s embrace.

Seeing this, the old man’s face turned deathly pale, "This is my elixir, meant for curing diseases. You have to pay for it. This robbery of yours, how is it any different from bandits?"

Jiang Xuan remained silent, dropping the old man to the ground before bending down to pick up the so-called "elixir."

Lao Liu immediately led others forward to continue the search on the old man.

After a long search, Lao Liu reported to Jiang Xuan, "Ship owner, there is nothing else on this man’s person. I’ll take my men to the lower cabin."

Jiang Xuan nodded and pointed to two shipmen, "The two of you, tie him up."

The shipmen agreed, pulling out hemp ropes to bind the old man’s hands behind his back to the ship’s mast.

The old man swore and cursed, uttering quite unpleasant things.

One of the shipmen couldn’t bear to hear it any longer, took off the stinky sock from his foot, and forcefully stuffed it into the old man’s mouth. To prevent him from spitting out the sock, he took a hemp rope and wound it around his mouth and the back of his head.

With the stench of someone else’s foot odor filling his nose and mouth, the old man felt waves of nausea, wanting to throw up but unable to. Soon after, the stench was so overpowering that his eyes rolled back, lifelessly tilting his head and leaning against the mast.

Seeing this, another shipman hailed the one who had removed his sock, "Well done!"

The shipman who had removed his sock laughed, "You all say my feet stink the most. Today this stinky sock has become useful."

Jiang Xuan approached Leng Yu Yan with the porcelain bottle, "This was found on that old man’s body. Miss, please take a look."

Leng Yu Yan was in the process of administering acupuncture, glanced at the porcelain bottle, "Open the lid, and let me smell."

Jiang Xuan pulled out the wooden stopper from the porcelain bottle and passed it over.

Leng Yu Yan fanned her hand in front of her face to disperse the scent and after smelling it slightly, she declared, "This is just an ordinary anti-diarrheal medicine."

Jiang Xuan looked up to see there were still many people in line waiting for her to perform acupuncture and announced loudly, "I have the old man’s anti-diarrheal medicine here. Whoever wants it can come to me to get it."

The people at the end of the queue, unable to restrain themselves any longer, eagerly made their way toward Jiang Xuan.

"Give us one."

"Hurry up and give me one, my stomach is killing me."

Just then, Lao Liu came running up, shouting, "Ship owner, we found a package in the old man’s bags."

As he spoke, he opened a cowhide paper package he was holding.

Leng Yu Yan looked at it and remarked calmly, "Colorless and tasteless, this must be the laxative that was added to the Laba Porridge."

Only then did the people realize that today’s instigator was the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked old man, and those who had initially wanted to get the anti-diarrheal medicine went back to properly line up.

Seeing them walk away from him, Jiang Xuan wondered, "You don’t want the anti-diarrheal medicine anymore?"

"People were saying one after another, "We don’t want to eat anything from that villain."

"I’d rather die of pain than eat it!"

"This young lady’s acupuncture is fearsome. Those of you who have been needled aren’t having any trouble, so let’s just wait a bit longer."

Everyone, clutching their bellies, lined up voluntarily.

Leng Yu Yan’s needling was swift, but due to the sheer number of people on the ship, it still took quite some time.

By the time she had finished needling everyone, two hours had passed.

She rubbed her sore wrists, and upon seeing this, Ye Yiheng grabbed her hand and began to massage it for her.

With so many people watching, she tried to pull her hand away, but he gripped it even tighter.

The people did not find this odd; after all, anyone would feel tired after treating so many, let alone such a delicate young lady.

So, one by one, they came forward to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, miss!"

"Yes, the miss is beautiful and kind-hearted, and the needling didn’t hurt at all."

At this point, suddenly, a man said, "It didn’t hurt for you? Why am I still in pain?"

Another man also complained, "I’m in pain, too."

The men in pain, cradling their wrists, approached Leng Yu Yan, "Miss, could it be that because we drank more Laba Porridge, the needling needs to be more painful?"

"Yes, the pain is still piercing my heart."

Some people were in so much pain they wanted Leng Yu Yan to check again.

Leng Yu Yan cast her gaze downward, remaining silent.

As Ye Yiheng gently massaged her wrist, he said indifferently, "When you few boarded the ship, were your hands behaving improperly?"

Upon hearing this, a woman instantly recognized them, "That’s right, it was them, the perverts!"

Several women who had been groped surged forward and visited a flurry of punches and kicks upon the few lechers.

While the women’s punches may not hurt as much as the men’s, there were many of them, and the pain was genuinely real.

The lecherous men did not dare to resist in front of everyone and, though they were in pain, they did not dare to cry out.

Jiang Yu, seeing Ah Li continuously massaging his sister’s wrist, felt a sourness in his heart and quickly came over, forcing a smile, "Sister, let me massage it for you. Brother Ah Li is a man, after all; he won’t be as gentle as I am."

Jiang Xuan also spoke, "Yes, my sister may have a temper, but she is still a woman. Ah Li, rest assured, my sister won’t hurt your sister."

He had seen them holding hands last time, and Ah Li had explained it was because she was seasick. Now, seeing her needle for such a long time, he felt distressed, but his jealousy grew as Ah Li massaged her. He wished he could do it himself.

Unfortunately, up to this point, he still didn’t know the name of Ah Li’s sister and could only suppress these thoughts.

With the Jiang siblings saying this, Leng Yu Yan, whose wrist was being massaged by someone, felt embarrassed, especially since he seemed to act as if nothing was wrong and refused to let go of her.

All he said was, "My sister is delicate, we don’t need help from others."

Which meant that only he could massage her.

The deck was bustling with activity, one side in the midst of a beating, while a few people watched a man with a stubble gently massaging the acupuncture young lady’s wrist.

Soon, the old man tied to the ship’s mast was woken by the stench.

With his mouth stuffed with a stinky sock and a hemp rope tight around it, he could only make muffled sounds.

Lao Liu, seeing that he had awakened, loudly said to the people, "The villain is awake, folks, let’s discuss, how shall we deal with him?"
