Small Farmer Medical God novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Knocking on the Widow’s Door at Night

"Thank goodness!"

After a careful examination, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the ankle looked severely swollen, in reality, there had been no actual damage to the bones.

"Sister-in-law, your twisted ankle isn’t too severe, but it’s impossible for you to walk back on your own now. I’ll carry you down the mountain."

"You’re going to carry me? What about these medicinal herbs? How about I wait here for you to take the herbs back first and then come back for me?"

"They can stay here; after I get you back, I can come back for them. It won’t be too late."

"But..."

Knowing Guo Meiyu was still hesitant, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "No buts, sister-in-law. They’re not as important as you are, so just listen to me now."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s serious tone, Guo Meiyu shyly bit her lower lip.

The next moment, she said softly, in embarrassment, "Okay then."

Seeing that Guo Meiyu had agreed, Hu Xiaobei quickly walked over and carefully lifted her onto his back.

Worried she might fall off, Hu Xiaobei held Guo Meiyu’s bottom very tightly once he had her on his back.

Soft!

The moment he touched Guo Meiyu’s round bottom, Hu Xiaobei felt that softness...

In that instant, Hu Xiaobei felt reluctant to remove his hands.

"I’ve been taken advantage of by this little bastard again!"

Lying on Hu Xiaobei’s back, Guo Meiyu could feel his heartbeat quicken and she knew that the little bastard must be excited now...

Of course, she understood there was no helping it since she was unable to walk at the moment.

After restraining his excitement, Hu Xiaobei said, "Sister-in-law, hold on to me tight. The descent is difficult!"

"Okay!"

Guo Meiyu agreed, wrapping her arms around Hu Xiaobei’s neck.

Feeling her grip tighten, Hu Xiaobei began to slowly descend the mountain...

Twenty minutes later, Hu Xiaobei took a long breath.

Because at that moment, he had finally set foot firmly on the ground.

Thinking of the herbs still up on the mountain, Guo Meiyu quickly said, "Xiaobei, put me down quickly and go check on the herbs!"

"Alright!"

After carefully putting down Guo Meiyu, Hu Xiaobei headed straight up the mountain.

Returning to the spot where Guo Meiyu had fallen, Hu Xiaobei saw the untouched medicine basket and without hesitation, picked it up...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei was back down the mountain.

An anxious Guo Meiyu, seeing Hu Xiaobei’s return, sighed with relief, "As long as they’re not lost, that’s good."

Hearing her words, Hu Xiaobei smiled, handed over the basket, and said, "Sister-in-law, take these herbs and sell them in the county tomorrow!"

"Xiaobei, these are too precious. I really can’t accept them!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei actually hand over the medicine basket, Guo Meiyu quickly shook her head.

She knew the value of these herbs totaled tens of thousands, so she couldn’t possibly accept them no matter what.

Hu Xiaobei was about to say something else when he heard Guo Meiyu speak again, "Alright, Xiaobei. Your sister-in-law is heading off now! After you’ve sold these herbs, just give the basket back to me."

Watching Guo Meiyu hobble away, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed.

He wanted to follow her but gave up the idea.

Hu Xiaobei thought it would be better if he sold them and then gave the money to Guo Meiyu. After all, it wouldn’t be easy for a woman to sell the herbs in the county by herself.

Having thought it through, Hu Xiaobei picked up the medicine basket and headed back to his place.

Back home, after arranging the herbs, Hu Xiaobei noticed a problem. The herbs had begun to wilt.

This time, after finishing, Hu Xiaobei felt a significant change in his body!

"It seems like my strength has increased by quite a bit!"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei, with clenched fists, walked over to a withered tree by the wall...

After glancing at the tree with its crisscrossing withered branches, Hu Xiaobei didn’t hesitate and threw a punch. With a ’crack’ the branch as thick as an arm broke into two halves.

Watching the branch fall to the ground, Hu Xiaobei’s eyes went wide with excitement!

"This... this isn’t a dream, this is real!"

After pinching his face and feeling a painful sting, Hu Xiaobei knew that everything in front of him was real and that he truly possessed great strength...

"Now, I want to see who would dare to bully the people of Xiaohe Village!"

Saying this, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the broken branch and afterward, he sneaked away from his dwelling under the cover of night...

He left home so late at night because he wanted to check on Su Xueying, who had been bitten by a snake earlier.

Although Hu Xiaobei had almost completely detoxified her before, he was still somewhat concerned!

Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei arrived at the doorstep of Su Xueying’s house!

He pushed the door, and after making sure it was locked from inside, Hu Xiaobei gently knocked on the door.

Soon, he heard a somewhat alarmed inquiry, "Who?"

"Sister-in-law, it’s me!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s voice from outside, Su Xueying’s cheeks instantly flushed red!

She couldn’t help it!

In that moment, Su Xueying thought of the embarrassing situation when Hu Xiaobei had helped her detoxify before!

Outside, not having received a response from Su Xueying, Hu Xiaobei continued, "Sister-in-law, I’m worried that there might still be some residual poison, so I’ve come to check on you again, please hurry up and open the door!"
