Xiao Feng and the others didn't think much of this statement, if Sun Shijie couldn't even figure out what illness Lin Jiaxuan had, then there's no point in talking about curing her.
But Zhao Guo'an was different, he had previously checked Lin Jiaxuan's pulse and knew that solely relying on pulse checking wouldn't lead to such a conclusion.
Thinking back on the other person's actions that easily led to misunderstanding, he couldn't help but ask, "Were you doing 'bone feeling' just now, senior?"
"Bone feeling?" The little girl and Lu Yao repeated, then simultaneously looked at Xiao Feng, and Lin Zhiyan, upon seeing this scene, also turned her gaze.
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
Clearly, it was my guess, shouldn't you all be looking at me so I could explain it to you?
Thinking of this, Zhao Guo'an felt indignant while simultaneously sneering internally, wait until you can't explain it clearly and be prepared to embarrass yourself.
Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Bone feeling is a type of Divination Technique, it's usually done by blind people, and it's said that it's most accurate when the blind are born blind."
"Does 'born blind' mean being blind from birth?" The little girl asked.
"Yes."
Zhao Guo'an felt a bit disappointed, initially intending to see Xiao Feng make a fool of himself, but instead, he made himself look impressive again.
At this moment, Sun Shijie also nodded, admitting, "It's bone feeling, I learned from a blind master a few years back, but my skills aren't refined, so I can't predict things like fortune, but distinguishing gender and age is doable."
Lin Zhiyan took a deep breath, lowered her stance, and asked the question she had asked countless times before: "Old sir, can you cure my sister's illness?"
Lin Jiaxuan's eyebrows instantly knitted together, the last thing she wanted was to see her sister lowering herself because of her, which was one of the reasons she gradually resisted treatment.
In her eyes, Lin Zhiyan was undoubtedly more outstanding than most women, such an excellent person shouldn't always lower her voice to ask others.
"I can, but the cost is enormous, and I'm unsure if she can withstand it." Sun Shijie combed his beard, which had been blown by the wind, appearing quite sage-like.
"What method do you mean?" Lin Zhiyan asked excitedly, her voice trembling slightly.
Having sought medical advice for many years, she'd naturally seen many who promised her such guarantees like Sun Shijie, but they were later proven to be frauds. Sun Shijie was clearly not a fraud, so it's no surprise she reacted so strongly.
Sun Shijie said solemnly, "The method is simple, it's a saying 'no destruction, no creation,' which I believe you all have heard of."
Xiao Feng nodded and joked, "You mean, first kill her and then erect a tombstone or memorial tablet?"
Lin Jiaxuan glared instantly, and Sun Shijie's face darkened, is this how you interpret 'no destruction, no creation'?
Then Xiao Feng said, "Wrong, wrong wrong wrong... 'No destruction, no creation'... 'No destruction, no creation'... that means don't kill her, and don't erect a tombstone or tablet either?
Hmm... This interpretation seems not quite right either, if we don't kill her, there's naturally no need to erect a tombstone or tablet."
Zhao Guo'an couldn't bear it: "Old Xiao, how did the little girl offend you, that you keep thinking about killing her?"
"Shut up!" Xiao Feng frowned and snapped.
"I'm upholding justice!" Zhao Guo'an shouted, face flushed and neck swollen.
"Say one more word, and I'll erect a tombstone and tablet for you right now."
"..."
Eventually, Zhao Guo'an demonstrated with his own actions what "you can't fight city hall" truly meant once again.
Meanwhile, Sun Shijie explained, "The meaning of 'no destruction, no creation' is to break her bones or inflict extremely severe injuries, then cooperate with medication to let the set bones grow again.
But it requires a reminder, doing so carries great risk, and the pain can't be avoided."
This statement stunned everyone; nobody expected Sun Shijie's so-called 'no destruction, no creation' to be such a self-harming treatment method.
"Has anyone used this method?" Xiao Feng asked.
"Naturally, some have." Sun Shijie admitted: "This principle is like cutting off split ends so hair can return to normal and continue growing."
Xiao Feng mused: "So, according to your saying, for her condition to return to normal, she needs to shave her head and start anew?"
"..." Sun Shijie was momentarily choked, but he still nodded, acknowledging Xiao Feng's saying.
Lin Zhiyan said worriedly: "Old sir, you just said the pain can't be avoided, can it really not be avoided?"
Sun Shijie nodded: "This part is crucial, or rather the stimulus of pain is the real 'medicine'. Whether she can withstand it, no one can guarantee."
"Xuanxuan..." The little girl looked at Lin Jiaxuan worriedly, now the method had been prescribed, but such a method was really hard to accept wholeheartedly.
Lin Jiaxuan glanced at the worried little girl, then looked at her sister, whose face was ugly and hesitated several times to speak. She sighed deeply and asked, "According to your method, how long before I can completely recover?"
"At the fastest, two to three years, and during the treatment, you have to endure extreme pain. My suggestion is to do it bit by bit, starting from arms and legs, don't attempt to do it all at once."
Saying this, Sun Shijie couldn't help but lament: "Wanting to change the inherent with the acquired and achieve a total transformation, it's not such an easy task."
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "If following this method, can it be used to increase height?"
It's not that Xiao Feng discovered a new way to get rich, but breaking arms and legs to make bones grow again just sounded like a very unscientific notion.
Sun Shijie shook his head: "No, this method only works for a very special few, ordinary people see no effect."
Xiao Feng looked at Lin Jiaxuan with some pity, this girl's fate is just too tragic; first, her blood was found to have special components, now she's told that to cure a congenital illness, she needs to break her arms and legs, as if all misfortune concentrated on her alone.
...
Taking Shao Wenxing's ashes with him, Sun Shijie glanced back at the burned hut, his gaze carried an indescribable complexity, certainly nostalgia and reluctance, but more was a sense of helplessness.
The fine snowflakes continued to fall but melted upon landing, showing no sign of increasing, seemingly unwilling to leave traces of its existence, just like the hut burned to ruins, the fire extinguished took everything away.
Xiao Feng looked back at the increasingly distant village and suddenly felt that sometimes right and wrong are hard to determine.
Just like this time's bat incident, if you compare it to a bomb, then we were undoubtedly the ones who 'lit the fire', affecting the entire village.
But on the flip side, if 'lighting the bomb' was done by someone else, then the entire village wouldn't just be troubled in their sleep, they'd likely lose their lives.
Moreover, bats carry deadly viruses, once largely spread the consequences are unimaginable, thinking from a long-term perspective, it's like being proactive in defusing a dangerous bomb.
