Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

"Say whatever you want to say."

Seeing the three people's hesitant expressions, Xia An shook his head and smiled.

Sun Liang gave an awkward laugh. "Comrade Xia, I think I heard you say before that this disease can be cured completely. Is that true?"

Xia An glanced at the three of them, and saw anticipation in their eyes.

He shook his head and smiled. "I won't discourage you. This disease can indeed be cured completely, but it's extremely difficult."

"Moreover, I have never actually met him; I only know about him from my teacher."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked,

"Brother Xia, what should we do?"

Xia An looked at his eyes and shrugged helplessly.

"It's not very realistic. I advise you not to have too high hopes. It's best to focus on proper treatment and recovery."

Sun Qian said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a shortage of medicinal herbs."

"Please let Comrade Xia know that if possible, we will try to find a way."

Wei Shanghua nodded quickly as well.

His grandfather was a military commander in Heilongjiang Province, so finding a few medicinal herbs shouldn't be difficult, right?

Xia An shrugged. "The other medicinal herbs are easy to find, but the three main ingredients are very difficult to find, or rather, some are simply impossible to find."

"Please tell me, Brother Xia," Wei Shanghua pleaded, unwilling to give up.

Xia An smiled helplessly, "The first ingredient is wild ginseng that's over a hundred years old. It's extremely rare, but it's still possible to find it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua and the other two's expressions changed slightly.

As Xia An said, century-old ginseng is extremely rare, but it is still possible to find it.

Is there something even rarer?

Xia An glanced at the three of them, then continued speaking in a leisurely voice.

"The second ingredient is a century-old Tian Shan snow lotus, but even with the most suitable growing environment, this Tian Shan snow lotus will only live for a maximum of twenty years."

"It dies once its flowering period is over. The probability of a hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus existing is almost zero; it may just be a legend."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua and the others felt a chill in their hearts, realizing what Xia An meant.

It would be strange to even find the legendary century-old Tianshan snow lotus.

Xia An shrugged, his voice slightly helpless.

"The third ingredient is even more outrageous; it's the legendary hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma."

"The Blood Ganoderma seems to not even exist, so how can it be said to last for a hundred years?"

"If you're talking about Ganoderma lucidum, that's impossible too. After all, Ganoderma lucidum only takes a few months to grow; there's no such thing as it taking a hundred years."

"To be honest, when I heard the teacher say those things, I thought he was having a sudden bout of lucidity before death and was a bit confused."

"That's why I said at the time that it was possible to cure it, but that was probably too far-fetched."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua and the other two looked disappointed and helpless.

So, it's definitely not possible.

Xia An shook his head. He wasn't wrong about what he said, nor was he lying to anyone.

The system did indeed provide him with such a case and treatment experience among its top-tier medical skills.

However, among these, the typical growth cycle of the Tian Shan snow lotus is no more than twenty years, while the blood spirit mushroom seems to lack this characteristic.

This is somewhat contradictory.

Or rather, these two things do not exist in the current world.

Perhaps the reason the system gave him this case treatment experience is because the Spirit Spring Space can cultivate it?

But in the current world, Blood Ganoderma doesn't seem to exist, so how can it be cultivated?

Xia An was actually somewhat helpless about this, and didn't know how to explain it.

He shook his head and smiled, "Brother Shanghua, instead of thinking about these things, you should relax and focus on taking care of your health."

"Of course, if you're looking with a sliver of hope, then it's fine to leave it to fate."

Wei Shanghua smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you, Brother Xia."

"I'm already very content that I was able to save this life. Whether I can find it or not is up to fate."

Xia An nodded.

Sun Liang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Comrade Xia, besides thanking you, we also have another request to make."

Wei Shanghua hesitated, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Xia An expectantly.

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly. "Tell me about it, but I can't guarantee I can do it."

Sun Liang looked at Wei Shanghua, seemingly wanting him to speak for himself.

Wei Shanghua quickly smiled and said, "With Brother Xia's medical skills, it's possible."

Xia An remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Wei Shanghua continued, "I can't find anyone who can perform acupuncture, so I'd like to ask Brother Xia to help me with acupuncture to the greatest extent possible to help me recover."

Xia An understood slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:

"I was a sent-down youth, and this place needs me, so I have no plans to leave for the time being."

Wei Shanghua and the other two blinked, their expressions seemingly puzzled.

After experiencing rural life, do any of these educated youth sent to the countryside still not want to leave?

Wei Shanghua was slightly taken aback. Did this mean that all his previous efforts were in vain?

Sun Qian smiled and said, "Comrade Xia, is this treatment long-term? We can stay in Anping Village or the commune."

Wei Shanghua realized what was happening and quickly nodded, "Brother Xia, we can stay here; it will be convenient for your treatment."

"Of course, if you're worried about the risks, you don't have to get acupuncture. I just want to be closer to you for peace of mind."

Xia An shook her head and smiled, "There's no need to worry. The subsequent risks are actually not high, much lower than when I rescued you."

"Okay, let me check your pulse first to determine the situation."

Wei Shanghua's face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward.

After taking his pulse, Xia An said, "The recovery is going well. Don't stop taking the medication. Continue for another month and then observe the effects."

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"How about this, you don't have to stay here. Go do whatever you want."

"I get acupuncture once a month. You can come to me, or send someone to pick me up."

Upon hearing this, Wei Shanghua's face lit up with joy and gratitude.

"Thank you, Brother Xia."

As he spoke, he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into Xia An's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Xia An frowned and said, "Is this kid so reckless?"

Why would someone openly hand him so many money notes?

Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for the two of them?

It should be noted that while there's no criminal charge for someone of Wei Shanghua's status to openly give him money,

But the impact won't be too small. Is this kid too young and reckless?
