Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 214 Old Man I Won’t Die (8)

The news that Wu Shusen had woken up soon spread to everyone.

Lin Xiao and Wu Guolin didn't even bother to rest, but hurried over to sit beside the bed and ask about her health.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"I'm glad you're okay. You don't even know how scared you are to Guolin."

Wu Shusen looked at his son's young face and was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Son, Daddy heard from your grandpa that our Guolin has grown up and become a man."

"Dad, I'm so scared, please get better soon."

"it is good!"

"Xiaoxiao, my little sister and her husband are fine. Where are my dad and mom?"

"Father-in-law is fine, mother-in-law..." Lin Xiao paused while peeling the apple and said hesitantly.

"What's wrong with Mom?" Wu Shusen was a little anxious.

Lin Yu had just come over from his in-laws' place and happened to hear him ask. So he said, "It's nothing, just a mild stroke. I just went to see a doctor. The treatment was timely and a few injections won't have any sequelae. I'll be able to come see you in two days."

"Really? Thank you, Dad. Thank you!"

"Alright, stop thanking me. Stay in the hospital for a week. When you're almost discharged, come back to Xihe Village. I'll take care of your leg. If things get better, you'll be able to feel it again soon."

"Okay, it just so happens that Xiaoxiao and I wanted to go to my parents' house to celebrate the New Year this year, but this incident happened. It's really...ah!"

"Don't think too much. You have survived a great disaster, so you will surely have good fortune in the future," said Lin Yu.

A week later, Lin Yu communicated with the hospital and took Wu Shusen and others out of the hospital.

The doctor's words also made Wu Shusen and his family feel much more relieved. Fortunately, the medicinal powder that Lin Yu had given them looked like the result of self-healing of the injuries.

Another good news is that my mother-in-law is fine and she can go back and have a good rest.

Lin Feng specially drove a large truck over and packed up everyone and took them back to Xihe Village. After this incident, this was the first time that Lin Xiao's in-laws had a reunion with Lin Yu and his family.

After returning to Xihe Village, Lin Yu immediately began to develop a treatment plan for Wu Shusen's condition, and also prescribed some herbal medicine for his mother-in-law to nourish her body.

That day, Lin Yu gave the ointment he had made a few days ago to Lin Xiao and his sister-in-law.

"Here, Lily, this is for you. Apply it on the wound to prevent scarring. Girls all love beauty. This will have no side effects on the wound on your face."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin. You really came to my rescue. Before, I didn't know what to do with this long scar on my face. Now I don't have to worry about it." Wu Li said with tears in her eyes. What she was most worried about was that it would leave a long scar, like a centipede. She didn't dare to look in the mirror these days.

"Okay! Don't cry, you two can use it together, and it will be fine after you finish it."

After comforting Wu Li, Lin Yu began to prepare medicine. Lin Xiao gave Wu Shusen a medicinal bath every night.

"Xiaoxiao, make sure the medicine covers your calves. You can get up when it cools down."

"Understood, Dad."

Lin Yu was busy treating the injured at home, so he handed over the live video recording to the village craftsmen and Gu Xinyu and Lin Feng.

Fortunately, Lin Qiang, Lin Lan, and Lin Kang's families all returned home early this year, otherwise the New Year's goods would probably not be prepared by now.

Under Lin Yu's careful care, Wu Shusen's legs gradually regained sensation and he could feel slight pain and itching, which gave the family hope.

Wu Li and her husband used the ointment given by Lin Yu, and their wounds healed well without leaving any obvious scars.

The winter in Xihe Village is quiet and peaceful, but the Lin family's courtyard is full of warmth and vitality.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hard work." Wu Shusen looked at his busy wife, his heart full of gratitude and guilt.

Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "What nonsense! We are husband and wife, and we are supposed to support each other."

Guo Lin watched his father's legs gradually improve, and the fear and worry in his eyes slowly dissipated. He ran over, took Wu Shusen's hand, and whispered, "Dad, Grandpa said that when you get better, spring will be here. Let's go fly a kite together, okay?"

Wu Shusen was so touched that he couldn't express it in words. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Daddy promises I'll take you to fly a kite."

At this moment, laughter and joy could be heard from the courtyard. Lin Qiang, Lin Lan, and Lin Kang's families were all helping to prepare New Year's goods. Gu Xinyu and her in-laws were busy making snacks, while the children played and laughed nearby.

As time went on, Wu Shusen's legs felt better and better under Lin Yu's treatment. He could even walk a few steps with Lin Xiao's support. This made everyone feel a little miraculous. After all, normally it would take at least half a year to recover to this level, but now it only took less than a month.

Lin Yu looked at their surprised expressions but smiled silently. What a joke! With his elixirs and acupuncture, he had to stand up before the New Year, otherwise the spiritual energy consumed by each acupuncture session would be wasted. That was all brought by Lin Yu's own soul.

As Wu Shusen's recovery progressed, the family's mood lifted. In the alleys of Xihe Village, children set off firecrackers, echoing joyfully in the winter air. Red lanterns were hung in front of the Lin family's door, heralding the arrival of the New Year.

"Dad, your medicine and acupuncture are amazing. Not only did Shusen recover quickly, but even my mother-in-law said that she feels much more energetic now. The scars on my sister-in-law's face are gone. Her skin has also improved a lot. Dad, can you give me a bottle too?" Lin Xiao said as he handed a bowl of steaming ginger soup to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took the ginger soup, took a sip, and felt the warmth flowing from his throat to his stomach. He said jokingly, "It's not that I'm good, it's that you young people have good constitutions. I think our family hasn't had much peace this year. Tomorrow we'll be praying to the gods in the village, and I think this old body of mine needs to get rid of the bad luck, especially your brother and you. Go pray when you have time, just in case it really helps."

"Haha, Dad, you still believe this?" Lin Xiao responded with a smile.

"They say sincerity brings answers, so why not go out and have some fun? Push Shusen and the whole family can go. It's a temple fair, and it's quite grand this year, with community performances. The kids will probably enjoy it."

"Okay. I was thinking of visiting relatives."

"Why go? We're all from the same village, but we can send a few kids and the village monkeys to pay New Year's greetings together to celebrate the festival. You guys should also prepare some pocket money, snacks, candies, etc. so that you can give them when the time comes."

Sure enough, in the evening, several children came to Lin Yu's house together. They first said auspicious words to the family, and then they happily took out the New Year's money and snacks they had prepared in advance and gave them to the children. Then the children from Lin Yu's family followed their friends out to give blessings to others and ask for New Year's money.

"Alright, forget about them. We'll be back soon. The dumplings are all wrapped. Has Lin Fengcai been washed?"

"It's washed and the pot is ready. Shall we serve it now?"

"Go ahead, go get the brewed wine from the house. It's not too strong, just right for drinking. Get some more juice too. It'll be ready for the kids when they come back."

"My dear relatives, let's have a drink today and try the wine I brewed myself. If you like it, you can take two jars back home."

"Well, old friend, I'll obey you."

The family sat around the big round table waiting for the three Lin Feng brothers to serve the dishes, and then the younger ones went home. In the meantime, they also welcomed several waves of children who came to the house to show their affection.

Gu Xinyu took the children and looked at them: "Wow, it looks like you guys have made quite a few. Go put them in your bag and keep them. Mengmeng, Linfeng, you can't take away the children's New Year's money again!"

Then he pulled a few children over and gave each of them a big red envelope.

"Mom, how much did you pack? Is there any for me?" Lin Kang said.

Lin Yu glared at him and said, "You're already married, and you're not ashamed to ask for a red envelope? Come on, come on, give New Year's greetings to your uncles." Lin Yu waved for the children to come over and looked at Lin Feng: "Give the red envelopes quickly."

The children were also very clever: "Uncle, happy new year! I wish you happiness, prosperity, and beauty..."

Xiaoyan was so happy after hearing this that she quickly took out the red envelopes and distributed them to the people. At the end, she looked at Lin Kang and said, "Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, this year it's my turn to bleed profusely."

Naturally, the others did not favor one over the other. The children all reaped a lot, and even the little one in Lin Lan's arms was not left out.

As night fell, Xihe Village became particularly lively with the sound of firecrackers. In the Lin family's courtyard, large red lanterns hung high, their warm glow radiating into every corner, dispelling the chill of the winter night. The family gathered around a round table, enjoying a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, filled with laughter and happiness.

Lin Yu raised his glass and said in a loud voice: "Come, let's toast to our family reunion and the new year!"

"Cheers!" The crisp sound of glass colliding and the children's excited laughter intertwined, filling the whole yard with a festive atmosphere.

"Grandpa, you must take me to watch the community performance tomorrow!" Little Guolin tugged at the corner of Lin Yu's clothes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"We want to go too, Grandpa. We want to go too."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go, let's go together as a family."

After dinner, the children set off fireworks in the yard, the brilliant flames illuminating their happy smiles. The adults sat around in the house, chatting about family matters, the occasional laughter making the home seem particularly warm.

"It's still better here because we can set off fireworks. Other places, especially in the city, don't allow them, and it takes away a lot of the festive atmosphere."

"Lin Qiang, take the two of them to set off the firecrackers." Lin Yu ordered.

"Hey, okay!"

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, signaling the arrival of the new year. Lin Yu thought that the new year would finally bring peace and stability, and that travel plans could be put back on the agenda. The rest of his life was meant to be free and easy. The old lady had lived in this place for most of her life, so it was time for her to get out and about.
