Rural Superb Little Immortal Doctor

"This... this is actually a ginseng! Did you... did you not lie to me just now?"

After a careful look for a while, Beauty Liu raised her head in a daze, still with a face of shock...

"Yes! Didn't I tell you? I came to dig up ginseng! Alright, the work here is done; let's go now!"

Pleased with Beauty Liu's shock, Chen Ergou chuckled, took off his jacket, and carefully wrapped the intact ginseng.

Back in the village, after parting with Beauty Liu, Chen Ergou planned to hurry home, knowing that the ginseng in his arms was invaluable and could cause trouble if others saw it!

He had just taken a couple of steps forward when he suddenly heard a joyous shout!

"Brother Ergou!"

Quickly turning around, Chen Ergou saw a youthful girl bounding toward him!

Lin Qiaoqiao!

The moment he saw her, Chen Ergou recognized her...

He had to say, she had become much prettier than the last time he saw her...

Mulling over this, while swallowing his saliva, Chen Ergou smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao!"

"Brother Ergou, I saw you sneaking around just now, did you get some treasure?"

As she spoke, she, flashing two cute little tiger teeth, naturally hugged Chen Ergou's arm!

So soft!

The moment she came over and hugged his arm, Chen Ergou felt that wonderful touch...

Internally admiring it, Chen Ergou explained, "Yes!"

As he explained, he couldn't help but sneak a few glances at them subconsciously.

"Hey, Brother Gou, you big pervert, peeking at me!"

Noticing Chen Ergou's subtle gaze, Lin Qiaoqiao pouted, yet didn't show any intention of letting go of his arm!

"Have you forgotten? We had an agreement; you said when you grew up, you'd marry me! I'm just taking a look now; what's the problem?"

When they were little, Chen Ergou had played house with her, and Lin Qiaoqiao had said more than once that she wanted to marry him!

After blinking her round eyes, Lin Qiaoqiao laughed and said, "I said I'd marry you when I grew up, and I haven't grown up yet! Alright, I'm going home to have dinner now!"

With that, Lin Qiaoqiao hopped away into the distance!

"Not grown up? Why do I feel like she's not little anymore!"

Watching Lin Qiaoqiao walk away, Chen Ergou, thinking about the wonderful touch from earlier, muttered to himself!

Soon, regaining his senses, Chen Ergou stole a glance around and quickly headed home.

After getting home and briefly greeting his mom, Li Cuixia, Chen Ergou dashed into his own room.

After locking his room door, Chen Ergou carefully took out the previously wrapped ginseng...

After grinning foolishly for a while, Chen Ergou took out his cell phone and snapped a few photos of it.

Right after taking the pictures, Chen Ergou didn't hesitate to post them onto a local, bustling forum through his computer!

After posting the message, he flopped down on his bed.

At that moment, he thought about the green True Qi he had obtained at the bottom of the well and decided to start trying to communicate with it.

Chen Ergou was no fool and knew that the green True Qi must be of great use, but soon he became frustrated because he realized that the green True Qi completely ignored him!

Frustration, indeed!

After trying a little more and realizing that it was still unsuccessful, Chen Ergou could only sigh inwardly!

At dinner time, Chen Ergou heard his mom, Li Cuixia, and his dad, Chen Jianqiu, talk about the drought and couldn't help but feel emotional as well!

This year for some reason, the rain was really scarce, so the crops in the fields were doing very poorly, and if it continued to not rain, they might even face a complete crop failure!

Seeing their helpless expressions, Chen Ergou could only eat silently since he really didn't have any solutions either!

After dinner, Chen Ergou returned to his room, checked the forum, and found that no one was interested in the photos of the ginseng he had posted, so he went to bed early!

Early the next morning, Chen Ergou went to the well again to fetch water...

But as soon as he stepped out of the alley, his eyes lit up.

"Auntie Liu!"

After letting his gaze linger on Beauty Liu for a few moments, Chen Ergou greeted her!

"Yeah! Ergou, going to fetch water?"

With a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth, Beauty Liu's breaths were as fragrant as orchids!

"That's right, Auntie Liu, you look really beautiful today!"

Upon seeing Beauty Liu come to a halt, Chen Ergou, after momentarily being stunned, took a deep breath and exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.

When she heard Chen Ergou's compliment, Beauty Liu let out a coquettish laugh and said, "Oh my, even daring to take advantage of your Auntie like this? Besides, when have I ever not been beautiful?"

"Hehe!"

After chuckling foolishly, Chen Ergou suddenly stepped forward and slapped Beauty Liu's beautiful behind twice.

"Ah..."

Shocked by Chen Ergou's action, Beauty Liu didn't know how to react!

She truly hadn't expected Chen Ergou to be so bold as to take such liberties with her in the street!

Seeing Beauty Liu's bashfully adorable expression, Chen Ergou hurriedly explained, "Auntie Liu, you've misunderstood, I just saw some white lime on your pants, so I just..."

Of course, while making this explanation, Chen Ergou couldn't help but reminisce about the touch he had just experienced...

"White lime?"

Hearing Chen Ergou's explanation, it dawned on her that indeed she had leaned against a lime wall while cleaning earlier...

Although she knew that Chen Ergou might really have been helping her, at that moment, Beauty Liu couldn't help but rebuke him in a low voice:

"Hmph! Even if there was lime on my pants, you could have just told me, was there really a need to do it yourself? Don't you know that a woman's behind is not for just anyone to touch?"

Nodding quickly, Chen Ergou seriously replied, "You're right, Auntie Liu, I'll be more careful next time! By the way, Auntie, where are you heading?"

"It's Qiaoqiao! Poor Qiaoqiao in this life, honestly!"

"Qiaoqiao? What happened to Qiaoqiao?"

Hearing Beauty Liu mention Lin Qiaoqiao, Chen Ergou quickly asked back.

Beauty Liu frowned and said, "You don't know? Lin Fuquan, Lin Qiaoqiao's father who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and visit brothels, is planning to sell her to Old Man Zhang from our village!"

"What?"

When Chen Ergou heard this news, his expression turned utterly ghastly!

Because he knew that Old Man Zhang was over fifty years old, not only did he drink all day long, but he also had severe violent tendencies, truly an old bastard to the core!

Seeing how aggrieved Chen Ergou looked, Beauty Liu sighed and said:

"I was shocked by the news too! But there's nothing we can do! You know that Lin Fuquan is a gambler who loves money more than life. Hearing that Old Man Zhang would give him a hundred thousand, he readily agreed to sell his daughter! It's likely the wedding will happen in just a few days! I'm on my way to see her now."

As she explained, Beauty Liu left.

Chen Ergou hadn't even noticed that Beauty Liu was gone because, at that moment, he was completely dumbfounded!

Like a lamb to the slaughter!

Chen Ergou knew that if Lin Qiaoqiao truly married Old Man Zhang, it would be like a lamb to the slaughter, so he absolutely couldn't stand by and let it happen!

Without hesitation, Chen Ergou ran straight to Lin Qiaoqiao's home!

But upon arrival, he found the door tightly shut...

"Where could Little Sister Qiaoqiao be?"

Muttering to himself, Chen Ergou frantically searched the village, but after an extensive search, he found no trace of her.

It was then that Chen Ergou suddenly remembered that he often took Lin Qiaoqiao to the small stream behind the mountain.

There, he often told her stories.

"Perhaps she's there!"

With that thought, Chen Ergou rushed toward the back mountain.

Indeed, by the babbling stream, Chen Ergou saw Lin Qiaoqiao sitting alone by the water, weeping.

Thank goodness!

Relieved, Chen Ergou quickly ran up to her...

The sound of Chen Ergou's approach startled Lin Qiaoqiao; she quickly turned her head, and in that instant, Chen Ergou saw her tear-reddened eyes.

Knowing she had been crying alone for a long time, Chen Ergou's heart clenched painfully.

And at that moment, Lin Qiaoqiao suddenly threw herself into Chen Ergou's arms, and with a place to let it all out, she began to sob even louder...
