Stealing Hearts with Clairvoyant: The Village Doctor

Acupoint massage therapy relies on massaging specific points on the body to promote blood circulation and clear the channels, thereby bringing one's body to its optimal state, suitable for her treatment.

At that moment, Liu Mou was overjoyed and whispered to Sang Xiuli, "Sister-in-law, if you can trust me, Liu Mou, let me treat you. I know a technique of massaging acupoints that could help revive your spirit."

Sang Xiuli was very weak at that time, she looked at Liu Mou and said softly, "Liu Mou, you are like a nephew to me, of course I trust you, but I have no strength right now, so if you're going to massage, you'll have to do it yourself."

As he looked at Sang Xiuli, Liu Mou nodded and then slowly lifted her white jade-like clothing, exposing her pale skin. Although Sang Xiuli was significantly older, her body was well-maintained and very attractive, like that of a young bride, which made Liu Mou involuntarily swallow his saliva before he steadied his mind and slowly began to massage her abdomen. Although unsure of the exact acupoints, Liu Mou's hands moved rhythmically across her body, making an onlooker believe Liu Mou was an expert.

After massaging for a while, Sang Xiuli felt a heat surge through her body, particularly in her abdomen which seemed to house a swirling 'Fireball.' After some time, Sang Xiuli felt her strength returning and an indescribable comfort in her body.

"Liu Mou, you are truly amazing," Sang Xiuli said with a face full of admiration, "I feel so much better now and I have regained some strength."

Liu Mou chuckled and then said, "Sister-in-law, your face has a healthy glow now, clearly showing a recovery in spirit, energy, and mind. Just rest well for a few days and you'll be fine." Liu Mou then slowly withdrew his hands and covered Sang Xiuli with her clothes, smiling as he spoke.

Sang Xiuli nodded, feeling a deep affection for Liu Mou. She had cherished him since he was a young boy and seeing him so capable now made her feel very relieved, especially knowing he had saved her.

After talking with Sang Xiuli for a bit, Liu Mou saw Chen Shuhua coming with a basket containing some food. He then said to Sang Xiuli, "Sister-in-law, mom is here to take care of you, I have to leave now. Also, if Wang Gouzi dares to trouble you, just call me. I'll make sure he never bothers you again." Then Liu Mou left.

Watching Liu Mou's departing figure, Sang Xiuli felt a surge of relief.

The next day, Liu Mou again ventured deep into the forest. He had his plans, to check if that 'Divine Snake' still guarded the place and to gather some more herbs to eventually send to Dou Yinya.

Just as he reached the edge of the village, he saw a figure staggering towards him. As soon as the figure saw Liu Mou, he hurried to his side and knelt down with a thud.

Liu Mou was startled, and upon recognizing it was Wang Gouzi, he said with a grim expression, "Wang Gouzi, what are you doing?"

Wang Gouzi hurriedly kowtowed to Liu Mou and said loudly, "Brother Liu Mou, please save Old Lady Qi. She's been trapped by a snake and is in great danger now. Please save her."

At that moment, Liu Mou was a bit confused and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Wang Gouzi quickly told Liu Mou about what had happened earlier that day. After being scolded by Liu Mou the previous day, Wang Gouzi and Old Lady Qi had planned to teach Liu Mou a lesson. They decided to catch some poisonous snakes and insects in the deep forest to set a trap for him, but by mistake, they entered the area where Liu Mou had found the Gastrodia herbs. They were overjoyed, thinking they could gather some Gastrodia to sell, but then a large snake trapped Old Lady Qi, and now they didn't know if it had eaten her.

Hearing this, Liu Mou was immediately filled with anger. They had intended to harm him, and now they were asking for his help. He definitely wouldn't help, but then he thought that if Wang Gouzi sought help from someone else, the place would certainly be discovered by others. Then he would no longer be able to gather Gastrodia there, as it would be taken by the villagers. After pondering for a moment, he hurriedly took Wang Gouzi to that place.

Upon arriving, Liu Mou was shocked by the scene before him. Old Lady Qi was hanging in mid-air, trapped by the large snake, her face flushed, clearly having difficulty breathing.

There were three people around, each holding a wooden stick and a sickle, looking terrified as they faced the large snake. It was obvious that they were with Old Lady Qi. The fact that they hadn't left yet proved their loyalty to her.

Seeing Wang Gouzi and Liu Mou returning, the people were relieved. They knew about the day when Liu Mou had demonstrated his power, and only he could battle such a huge snake.

Seeing Old Lady Qi's condition, Liu Mou didn't hesitate. Although he disliked her, the crimes she committed were not punishable by death, so he hoped she wouldn't die there.

Without wasting words, Liu Mou slowly approached the snake. He had communicated with it before. When he reached the snake, Liu Mou slowly began to speak amidst the astonished gazes of those around him.

"They didn't know that this is your territory to guard. Please let them go for my sake, spare her life. I can guarantee that they won't come here again. If they do come back to take your herbs, I will make sure their legs are broken."

Seeing Liu Mou communicating with a snake, the people were dumbfounded. They looked at Liu Mou strangely, thinking he had gone mad, talking to a snake.

Just when they thought Liu Mou was spouting nonsense, a shocking moment occurred. The snake actually released Old Lady Qi from mid-air. With a thud, she fell to the ground, coughing rapidly. Although she was in pain, her life was at least saved.

Among the astonished looks of the people, Liu Mou slowly walked over to Old Lady Qi, kicked her back to her group, and said coldly, "This is Divine Snake's territory. If you dare to covet these Gastrodia again, then wait for death. Now get lost and don't come back here. Also, don't return to the village. If I find out you're still causing trouble in the village, I definitely won't spare you."
