Chapter 278 He Can Move Again

Shi Xia was right outside the door, turning over the sea cucumbers in the drying basket.

The moment Wen Chengan shouted, she immediately dropped the sea cucumber in her hand and ran into the house.

A whirlwind lifted Grandpa Shi's apron.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Cheng'an saw Shi Xia rushing to the front, as well as Grandpa Shi behind Shi Xia holding a spatula, Da Bai, Xiao Hua, two eagles, and the slowest sea turtle.

Everyone was in a hurry; the little eagle was already standing on the back of the sixth sea turtle.

The two men and five women were all staring at Wen Cheng'an.

At that moment, he admitted he was a little flustered.

It seems like things have gotten out of hand.

"I...I'm fine, don't worry."

"I think I can move my legs—"

"what!"

"Gah!"

"Jiji!"

Shi Xia definitely came over as quickly as possible.

For the past two months, she has indeed been helping Wen Cheng'an recover, but she is not sure if he will get better.

The hospital said it wouldn't get better, but Old Xu said it was possible, though very unlikely.

Her special ability cannot cure, it can only improve and nurture. So even though she told Wen Cheng'an that he would definitely get better, she herself still had doubts.

"You can move? Move it so I can see."

Under Shi Xia's gaze, Wen Cheng'an first took her hand, and then moved his leg.

My right toes twitched playfully at first, then my heel lifted slightly, but only for a second before it fell back onto the bed.

Shi Xia went from nervous to pleasantly surprised.

It really moved!

At this moment, the heavy burden in my heart slowly eased.

Grandpa Shi, who was behind them, also saw it and excitedly said, "Add more dishes!"

Shi Xia gripped Wen Cheng'an's hand tightly and turned around.

"Little Eagle, go find Old Man Xu and bring him here!"

The little eagle nimbly jumped off the sixth sea turtle's shell, turned around, and ran outside.

An eagle, forgetting how to fly, spread its wings slightly and hopped into Old Xu's house.

Old Xu was drying the medicinal herbs, thinking about how to adjust the prescription as he did so.

Just then, the little eagle came in, silently jumped behind Old Man Xu, and gently patted Old Man Xu's waist with its wing.

"oops!"

Old Xu felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Looking back at the little eagle, he wiped the exaggerated cold sweat from his forehead.

"You scared me to death! What happened?"

The little eagle pointed at Shi Xia's house and raised one claw, mimicking Wen Cheng'an's foot-raising motion with remarkable accuracy.

Unfortunately, Old Man Xu didn't understand it.

"You hurt your foot? I've become a veterinarian now. Come on, let me take a look."

Old Xu squatted down to examine the little eagle. The little eagle jumped back, its eyes fixed on Old Xu with a sharp look, slightly angry.

Its legs are perfectly fine!
"Why are you running? I'll be gentle."

"Don't worry, I'm very gentle, come here."

The two, one human and one eagle, somehow managed to create an ambiguous conversation until Shi Xia arrived.

"Wen Cheng'an's leg moved!"

Old Man Xu, who was catching and coaxing the baby eagle, looked up in surprise.

"What! Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Shi Xia had already recovered from her surprise and pointed at the little eagle, saying, "I sent the little eagle to call you."

Old Xu turned around and saw the little eagle's disdainful look. He turned his head and the eagle flew away!
Old Xu was slightly embarrassed, but he didn't have time to think about it.

He rushed to see Wen Chengan.

Taking pulses and conducting examinations, Wen Cheng'an was like a porcelain doll, cooperating with Old Man Xu's requests.

"Not bad, not bad. The nerves inside have a tendency to self-recover. If this trend continues, it is possible that they will return to normal."

Previously, Old Man Xu hadn't dared to dream of a full recovery; he only wanted Wen Cheng'an to be able to stand up again. But the pulse reading now gave him a huge surprise and boosted his confidence.

"Okay, don't take your medicine today. I'll go back and change your prescription."

Old Xu left without warning.

Shi Xia and the others quickly made way, and Uncle Wen and his aunt finally showed genuine smiles.

They had laughed before, but it was all forced, as they didn't want Wen Cheng'an to see their sorrowful faces.

Now things are different. They know things can get better, and their mood immediately lightens. Aunt even cried in front of Wen Cheng'an for the first time.

Shi Xia simply hugged her aunt and let her cry her heart out.

My aunt cried countless times in private.

One day, she didn't dare to come to see Wen Cheng'an. She pretended to be busy cooking in the kitchen and exchanged a few words with Wen Cheng'an, afraid that he would see her red eyes.

"Okay, okay, I knew my son couldn't be hurt."

The weight that had been weighing on Uncle Wen's heart was lifted, and his words came out with his usual ease.

"You take good care of your injury, kid. I've left my yard for you to sweep."

Wen Cheng'an saw everyone's performance and understood their concern and worry for him, just as he did.

For the past two months, everyone was all smiles, but those smiles seemed to be covered with dust.

At this moment, the dust and mist dissipated, finally revealing the true glory.

He finally dared to make a joke.

"Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're only in your fifties. Work hard and don't slack off!"

"Mom, you have to keep an eye on him!"

"You brat, you dare to tattle on me."

The father and son were bickering, and the aunt was crying and laughing intermittently, with snot running down her face. She looked quite disheveled.

Shi Xia generously held up her clothes and said, "It's okay, wipe it off!"

The aunt was so amused that she burst out laughing, and big snot bubbles came out of her nose.

Everyone burst into laughter, and all the gloom vanished in that instant.

After Wen Cheng'an regained the ability to move his legs, Old Man Xu changed the prescription, and Shi Xia also took him to the hospital on Haiming Island.

As a result, due to insufficient equipment, the doctor could only rely on experience to conduct an examination.

However, the news did reach Haiming Island, and Chief Wei came over that very day.

He was overjoyed after confirming it.

"Alright, Wen Cheng'an, take good care of your injury. I look forward to your return to the team!"

"Yes!"

When Chief Wei arrived, Shi Xia invited him to stay for dinner.

"You can't eat it. It's a rule. Next time."

He was wearing his military uniform today.

"Okay, then next time."

After seeing Chief Wei off, Shi Xia wrote a sentence in her notebook: Medical Care.

She hadn't paid attention to this before because she didn't really need it.

Wen Cheng'an's incident served as a wake-up call for her; Western medicine on the island needed to be developed.

The notebook closed, and two words flashed across it: Revenge!
Wen Cheng'an's injuries couldn't be suffered in vain. The reason Shi Xia didn't go out was because she couldn't leave for the time being, and she would wait until she had a free hand.

No one can get away unscathed after bullying her.

After Shi Xia put her notebook away, she went outside. Grandpa Shi was threading a needle, but his eyesight was poor, so Wen Cheng'an, who was in a wheelchair, simply took over to help.

"What are you doing? Are you still making clothes?"

Shi Xia sat down and looked at the fabric that Grandpa Shi had cut. Was it a little small?

"Making underwear?"

As soon as Shi Xia finished speaking, Wen Cheng'an's hand trembled, and the thread went astray.

"What underwear! You're supposed to be a woman, can't you be a little more mindful of your appearance?"

"Don't women also have to wear underwear?"

Shi Xia retorted, and Grandpa Shi had no answer, so he could only pick up the finished product next to him.

"These are Little Eagle, Little Gold, and Big White's outfits. What do you think? Aren't they cute?"
