Chapter 638


    As Fade and Quin finished eating the roasted sweet potatoes, Uncle Liu began to clean up the stall.


    Seeing this, Fade asked, "Uncle Liu, it''s still early, so why are you closing up your stall already?"


    Quin was also a little confused and she said, "Uncle Liu, your roasted sweet potatoes taste


    delicious. I''m sure there will be a lot of people buying it."


    Uncle Liu sighed. "My wife is home alone and she hasn''t had dinner yet. I have to go home and


    cook for her. What''s more, her condition worsened yesterday. I don''t want her to be home alone."


    Hearing this, Quin was startled. Then, she turned to look at Fade.


    Fade''s face fell. He understood what her gaze implied. He nodded his head gently.


    Then, Fade said to Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, I''m a doctor. Why don''t I go home with you and help you


    treat your wife''s illness?"


    "Are you a doctor?" Uncle Liu eximed as he was a little surprised. Embarrassed, he said,


    ''Tm so sorry. You''ve helped me so much already, and I am still troubling you."


    Fade walked over to the stall, helped Uncle Liu clean up, and persuaded, "Uncle Liu, you don''t have


    to feel sorry. It''s no trouble. I''ll drive over. It''s nothing."


    Quin convinced him too, "Uncle Liu, my husband has adept medical skills. Maybe he can cure


    Auntie Liu. Let us follow you home."


    Hearing this, Uncle Liu was very grateful so he said, "I really don''t know how to thank you! I am an


    uncultured old man. I don''t know what to say. I can only say thank you. Thank you!"


    Fade and Quin replied, "Uncle Liu, it''s alright. It''s really nothing."


    The two quickly helped Uncle Liu tidy the roasted sweet potato stall up. Then, Uncle Liu entrusted


    the stall to the owner of a small shop by the road. Next, he got into Fade''s car and went home with


    Fade and Quin.


    Uncle Liu''s home was in the suburbs. It took Fade more than half an hour to reach the old


    neighbourhood.


    The neighborhood was built in the 80s. The area was notrge and the apartments were not tall. It


    had only six floors, with debris scattered everywhere. The road was narrow and the street lights


    were damaged, so it was quite challenging to walk around.


    The three of them walked on the potholed-infested road and passed through the alleys. Finally, they


    arrived at a building in the corner.


    The building was very old, and its surface had turned ck, covered by ivies and vines.


    Looking up, there was a dim light behind the old wooden windows and sses. asionally, you


    could see a person hanging clothes on a balcony, or you could smell pungent smokeing out of


    the gas exhaust machine on the other side.


    Uncle Liu pointed at a dark room on the top floor and said, "That''s my house."


    Then, Uncle Liu led Fade and Quin into the building. They walked up the narrow, old stairs under a


    dim and flickering light, and they reached the top floor.


    There were two units on either side of the top floor, and there were card boxes, briquettes, and


    other things along the corridor, stacked against the wall. This made the narrow passage look even


    narrower.


    Uncle Liu took a key out to open the door. Then, he told Fade and Quin to walk into the house and


    to be careful to avoid the debris along the corridor.


    After entering the house, Uncle Liu turned on the lights and signaled to Fade and Quin. Then, he


    walked towards the bedroom.

    Fade and Quin examined the interior of the house. The house was not very big. It was only 60


    square metres and the walls had yellowed with age and looked worn out.


    The furniture in the room was old as well. The only modern item in the house was a refrigerator. On


    top of it, there were many medicine chests.


    Handwritten notes were affixed on the medicine chests that marked the function of the pills, the time


    to take the medicine, and the dosage.


    The things in the room looked old, but they were tidy.


    When Fade and Quin caught sight of this, they were even more certain that Uncle Liu was not lying.


    They were more determined to help Uncle Liu.


    At this moment, Uncle Liu walked out of the bedroom and smiled apologetically at Fade and Quin.


    He uttered, "My wife is inside. I''m sorry to trouble you."


    Fade replied with a smile, "Uncle Liu, there''s no need to say sorry."


    As they spoke, Fade and Quin walked into the bedroom.


    A gaunt old woman was lying in a bed covered with blue and white sheets. When the old woman


    saw Fade and Quin, she struggled to sit up in bed to express her gratitude. "Thank you for saving


    Old Liu!"


    "You''re wee, Auntie Liu!" Fade and Quin hurried over to hold her. Then, Fade held her wrist to


    feel her pulse.


    Standing beside them, Uncle Liu nced at Fade nervously.


    A momentter, Fade let go of her wrist. Uncle Liu and Auntie Liu stared at him with a questioning


    nce.


    Fade smiled and he reassured them, "It''s not a big problem. I can cure it."


    Hearing this, Uncle Liu and Auntie Liu were delighted. They immediately asked, "Fade, what


    medicine or instruments do you need? I''ll go and buy it right away."


    Fade shook his head and said, "Uncle Liu, you don''t need any medicine or instrument. I can cure


    Auntie Liu now."


    "It can be cured now without medicine or instruments?" Uncle Liu uttered as he found this


    unbelievable.


    At this moment, Fade took out his silver needles and replied with a smile, "Uncle Liu, I am a


    Traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I can cure Auntie Liu''s illness with acupuncture."


    Fade quickly picked up the silver needle and plunged it into Auntie Liu''s body. Then, he activated


    his positive energy and transferred it into her body through the silver needle.


    The woman''s illness had been treated in the hospital, so Fade needed to treat only her seque to


    cure herpletely.


    In less than a few minutes, Fade removed the silver needles, then nodded to Uncle Liu and Auntie


    Liu with a smile. "It has been cured," he said.


    "Cured?" Uncle Liu gasped. He was even more surprised now, so he stared at Fade in disbelief.


    Frowning, Auntie Liu moved her body slowly. The next moment, she said joyously, "Well, I am


    cured! I feel much morefortable now. I don''t feel the heart palpitation anymore."


    "You''re cured! You don''t have to suffer anymore. That''s great!" Uncle Liu eximed as he felt a


    pang of excitement. He held Auntie Liu''s arm tightly as tears rolled from the corners of his eyes.


    Then, the two expressed their gratitude to Fade and Quin. If Fade and Quin had not stopped them,


    they would have knelt down and kowtowed to express their thanks.
