Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

"What? I said I had congee for lunch earlier, boss, what are you thinking?" Torachiyo chuckled. "Hmm? No way..."

“I was talking about plain porridge!” Shen Liang quickly said, changing the subject, “Speaking of which, prices are really high here in Inazuma. A bowl of plain porridge costs two thousand Mora. I really don’t want to spend money in Teyvat.”

"After all, on your Earth, two thousand Mora is thirty thousand yen, which can buy a hundred kilograms of rice."

"When Shenzhou rice is cheap, it only costs two yuan per kilogram. Two thousand Mora, with its gold content, is roughly equivalent to two thousand five hundred yuan. Hmm, that can buy seven hundred and five kilograms."

"Tsk, the more you calculate the price difference, the more outrageous it gets. Being a middleman is really lucrative."

"It should be said that gold is worthless in Teyvat."

Just as Shen Liang was about to leave after opening the consecration screen, he suddenly heard a scream coming from the first floor of the Wooden Leak Tea Room, followed by the sound of thumping footsteps below.

Shen Liang was somewhat surprised when he heard someone shout in a panic, "Lady Shenli... call a doctor! I'll go call a doctor!"

Immediately afterward, a commotion arose, and chaos erupted below the wooden tea room. Shen Liang frowned slightly and stepped outside, only to see a maid rushing past his door. She didn't even stop when she saw him, but quickly said, "Mr. Shen, please don't mind. There's a problem with the guests on the first floor. Please continue to rest."

"What happened?"

"Mrs. Kamisato, who was enjoying tea on the first floor, has suffered a relapse! We must go to the Kamisato residence immediately and fetch their personal physician! Sir, you..."

"Lady Kamisato?" Shen Liang felt the name sounded familiar. "Which Lady Kamisato?"

"What?! There's only one Kamisato family in Inazuma!" Kozue paused for a moment, not wanting to waste any more time, and hurriedly ran away.

……

In the private rooms on the first floor, the waiters of the wooden-framed teahouse were in complete disarray.

The wooden teahouse is owned by the Kamisato family, but now the family's mistress has suddenly fallen seriously ill there, which might even lead people to suspect poisoning.

But Ayaka Kamisato knew this wasn't poison. She absentmindedly held her unconscious mother's slender hand, knelt beside her, and sat stiffly.

Actually, this wasn't the first time recently. Kayo Kamisato suffers from a serious heart condition, and as she gets older, she's fainting more and more frequently in public. The doctors in Inazuma Castle don't have a cure for cardiovascular diseases, or rather, in this era, the term "cardiovascular disease" doesn't even exist.

The last time she fell ill was a month and a half ago. At that time, Kayo Kamisato was disguised as a commoner named "Tsubaki" and went out for a spring outing. If Yoi-miya hadn't happened to pass by and met that boy with the secret technique, perhaps Mother would have died last time.

But only a month and a half later... the second attack came.

The onset dates were getting shorter and shorter, and Ayaka Kamisato knew very well what this meant... It meant that her mother's health was deteriorating, and even if she survived this time, she... wouldn't have much time left.

Ayaka Kamisato held her mother's hand, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't prepared to lose her mother, but reality suddenly presented itself.

"Doctor!" she cried through gritted teeth, tears welling in her eyes, without turning her head. "Where's the doctor! Call a doctor right now! Where is she?!"

"It's no use the doctor coming. I told you last time, it's heart disease, it can't be cured." A cold voice came from behind.

Ayaka Kamisato was so angry she wanted to curse. When she turned around, she saw that annoying boy standing behind them with a frown.

"Ryoko-nii!" Yoomiya exclaimed with great joy, immediately jumping off the tatami mat and giving him a tight hug. "You're back! Quick! Tsubaki-san is in trouble! Quickly, use your invincible magic to think of a solution!"

What does "Liangzi-ge" mean? It feels a bit strange, like he's a professional player in some MOBA game called League of Legends.

However, Shen Liang still stepped forward and squeezed past Ayaka Kamisato, saying, "I'm here to find a way to close the door and let the irrelevant people out."

Xiaogong immediately went to close the gate.

“Ryoko…” Ayaka Kamisato was equally overjoyed. She knelt before him, bowing in a perfectly upright posture, her voice urgent, “Please, please save Ayaka’s mother! I’m so sorry for my disrespect towards you before, but, but please save my mother! Whatever you ask of me, I will grant it…”

"Arrogant at first, then obsequious, it's laughable." Shen Liang interrupted her, adding a sarcastic remark, then grabbed Shenli Huadai's wrist and activated the Transformation Sea Moon technique. "Save your breath. I don't care about the petty schemes of your Shenli family. A doctor doesn't need a reason to save someone."

Ayaka Kamisato felt both ashamed and embarrassed.

"Hmm, a typical case of congenital heart disease, aggravated by overwork." After using Hua Haiyue to probe Shenli Huadai's body, Shen Liang found the root cause of the disease. "She's also vomiting black blood, so it's in the late stage. Vomiting blood caused by heart disease is mainly due to pulmonary congestion caused by heart failure. In my country, that would be close to death."

In order to make better use of Hua Haiyue, Shen Liang even took some time to study human anatomy.

Chapter 196 Saving Kamisato's Mother

"What...incomplete?" Xiaogong had no idea how many modern terms were being used.

Ayaka Kamisato, however, watched his movements nervously, her voice trembling with panic, "So Ryoko, do you have a way? You must have one!"

"Before, you kept saying 'I never thought Mr. Shen was this kind of person,' but now you're calling her 'Liangzi.'" Shen Liang tried his best to stabilize her heart blood supply with Hua Haiyue. "What can we do? What can we do? I told you last time that Miss Hua Dai's health was already very dangerous. She should stay at home as much as possible and obediently accept treatment. Why didn't you listen? If you go out and get a gust of wind, you might collapse. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

“But…” Ayaka Kamisato said softly, “You promised to extend Mother’s treatment for a few more courses, but after that, we could no longer find you, and given Mother’s condition… staying at Kamisato’s residence is no use.”

Shen Liang was taken aback.

Then he remembered that he had indeed promised Kamisato Wataru to treat her a few more times. At the time, he was planning to use Kamisato Wataru as a practice subject for Kagayoshi to lay the foundation for Cecilia's treatment.

As a result, he was gone for more than a month, and had almost forgotten about the Kamisato family, let alone this incident. This is... a bit awkward.

Hua Haiyue provides the ability to purify the body, but it does not cure all diseases. Theoretically, non-viral diseases are part of the body's natural selection, and neither Hua Haiyue, which is responsible for purifying the body, nor the Black Abyss White Flower, which has extremely strong regenerative abilities, are particularly helpless against "diseases".

However, most organ diseases stem from certain functional abnormalities. For Shen Liang, the Transformation of the Sea Moon is constantly in operation, making it unlikely that these diseases will take root in him. But Shen Li Hua Dai does not have the Transformation of the Sea Moon that is always with her, and without constant purification, her body is constantly withering away.

"She's quite a pretty mother," Torachiyo spoke in his mind. "Long silver hair, a Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman), a sickly housewife, and young and beautiful. A girl like that would have been highly sought after in my time."

[Women with this kind of body are in high demand; aren't you afraid that if you marry one, you'll be facing a funeral within days?]

"See, you don't understand. For the men of the shogunate, the sicker the better, it's all about enhancing their reputation. The shogun is a woman, and in her eyes, a man who is loyal and devoted to his wife is more admirable." Torachiyo shrugged. "Then it's promotion, wealth, and the death of his wife. He enjoys a beautiful, virtuous, and sickly wife, and then she dies during the peak of his career. He cries his heart out at her funeral, which becomes a legendary tale. In other people's eyes, he's a pitiful yet respectable good husband."

She sized up Kagami Kayo and casually remarked, "Then just marry a woman from an even more prestigious family, and your career will soar even higher."

Shen Liang didn't know how to respond for a moment.

[This is quite normal. Otherwise, why would noble ladies always be portrayed as sickly and pitiful in the writings of Inazuma? Because they are always dying.] Torachiyo smiled slightly. [They either die of illness or are forced to die of illness. There are countless such 'beautiful tales' in Inazuma throughout history. That's why I hate men who meddle in officialdom. I myself am enough to become Inazuma's first-rate General of the Northern Army!]

Shen Liang shrugged: [True feminism.]

At this moment, he looked at Ayaka Kamisato, his eyes becoming serious, "Next, I'm going to do some more in-depth treatments. To avoid suspicion, you'll lend a hand, but don't question my actions."

Ayaka Kamisato roughly guessed what he was going to do and nodded. "Ayaka isn't that stupid or ignorant. Ryoko, just do it."

"Take off Miss Hua Dai's clothes and expose her entire upper body," Shen Liang ordered.

Ayaka Kamisato took a deep breath and, without hesitation, untied her mother's kimono and cut the back sash with scissors. Kayo Kamisato, though frail, lay on the tatami mat with her still beautiful and voluptuous body. She had an excellent figure, a face similar to her daughter's, a slender waist, and snow-white breasts.

But Shen Liang only glanced at it before continuing to give instructions: "Next, I'm going to cut open her chest and put my hand inside."

Ayaka Kamisato was taken aback, her expression changing slightly. "There's no such thing as a cure in the world..."

"Don't question me," Shen Liang said coldly. "If you don't want to, I'll leave now and you can wait for the doctor."

Ayaka Kamisato made a decisive decision, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay!"

Shen Liang looked at her with considerable surprise. Open-chest cardiac massage was something that many people on Earth couldn't accept, and with Teyvat's low level of medical care, it should have been even more considered absurd witchcraft. But this girl was surprisingly farsighted.

He pulled a knife from the light screen and then had Ayaka Kamisato and Yomiya sterilize it using low and high temperatures respectively. Next, starting from Ayaka Kamisato's collarbone, he felt layer by layer down to the fourth rib space and made an arc-shaped incision, cutting into the chest cavity.

Blood splattered out, and Xiaogong nervously covered his mouth.

Shen Liang cut the upper and lower rib cartilages to open the incision, and then the heart, exposed to the air, could be clearly seen slowly swelling.

This was not a sterile environment, and Shen Liang was unsure if his actions were perfect, but he dared to do so because Hua Haiyue could repair the wounds he had caused and prevent potential infection.

Ayaka Kamisato helped him pull his mother's breasts apart, and Shen Liang reached in with his right hand, grasped the heart in his hand outside the pericardium, and squeezed the heart at a precise speed of about 80 times per minute.

In fact, at this point, Kayo Kamisato's heart had already stopped beating. On Earth, this would be called sudden cardiac arrest, and ordinary cardiac resuscitation would be unlikely to save her. Only this method could possibly revive her failing heart.

"Provide oxygen!" Shen Liang ordered.

"How do we supply oxygen?" Ayaka Kamisato asked, turning her head.

"It's CPR, have you even learned it?!" Shen Liang's forehead began to sweat, but to avoid dripping, he could only tilt his head back and even let it run into his eyes. He was getting impatient. "You're such a useless piece of trash! Why don't you call Xiao Gong?!"

After her heart was opened, her breathing naturally became much weaker. Since she was unconscious, Kayo Kamisato needed someone to give her artificial respiration, otherwise she would die before her heart could be revived.

At this moment, Ayaka Kamisato had no time to think. She pinched her nostrils, bent down, took a deep breath, and then covered her mother's mouth with her own, forcefully blowing air in, and then repeated the process.

Shen Li Hua Dai’s chest expanded slightly. Shen Liang massaged his heart while using Hua Hai Yue to clear the blood stasis in his lungs. About four minutes later, he saw the color of his heart muscle gradually change from cyanosis to bright red.

This means that her heart function has finally started to return to normal. The long-lost heartbeat has started again, and Kayo Kamisato's breathing has gradually returned. Her pale face has gradually regained color, which means that her heart has begun to compensate for the lack of blood supply.

She was finally brought back from the brink of sudden death!

Shen Liang was exhausted. The exhaustion was one thing, but the real problem was the immense pressure of not daring to relax even for a moment.

"She's saved." Shen Liang withdrew her hand, activated the Transformation Sea Moon technique to automatically heal her wounds, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Next, she just needs to recuperate properly. Last time, we didn't notice the blood clot in her lungs, but after this cleansing, she should be able to stay calm for a while."

Chapter 197 What a fine display of ruler-subject, father-son relationships!

Ayaka Kamisato stared blankly at her mother, who was gradually regaining her breath. She touched her lips, then turned her head to look at Shen Liang in a daze.

Shen Liang frowned. "What's wrong? You feel like you've lost your first kiss just because you gave your mother CPR? Even the most conservative feudal society wasn't this conservative, was it?"

“Feudal society…” Ayaka Kamisato said softly, “Even if you see us as natives, it doesn’t mean you have to call us feudal.”

"Is not it?"

"Why... are you so aggressive towards the Kamisato family?" Kamisato Ayaka's tone was no longer as sharp and resolute as before, and even somewhat weak. "Mr. Ryoko, exactly, what is it about Ayaka that you dislike?"

“I don’t hate you, I just don’t like your whole Inazuma.” Shen Liang washed his hands in the basin. “Besides, compared to most people, your will is more immature.”

“Childish?” Ayaka Kamisato asked, puzzled.

Instead of answering her question, Shen Liang asked, "Do you want to participate in the Hundred-Man Uprising?"
