Chapter 108 - There are Snakes
Chapter 108 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" starts with: After setting the large pot in place, Chen Yang turned and went back to the... Continue exploring!
After setting the large pot in place, Chen Yang turned and went back to the kitchen to bring out the wild mushrooms and also fetched two pairs of bowls and chopsticks for the women.
At that moment, Yang Ruoxi couldnât hold back her curiosity and reached out to lift the lid of the pot.
Instantly, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the pot.
Smelling the strong meat fragrance and seeing the tenderly cooked meat and thick soup, both women couldnât help but swallow their saliva.
âWhat is this?
It looks so delicious!â Yang Ruoxi said while swallowing.
Seeing her look like a little greedy cat, Chen Yang chuckled, âThis is game meat, made with my secret recipe.
Itâs really delicious!
You should try it.â
âOkay.â
The two women quickly nodded, then pulled out their bowls and chopsticks and began to pick at the meat, tasting it,
After one bite, they couldnât stop praising it.
Their reaction was exactly like Wu Kexinâs when she first ate wolf meat at Chen Yangâs house!
âChen Yang!
Itâs really delicious!
What did you use to make this?â Yang Ruoxi asked, full of curiosity and admiration as she looked at Chen Yang.
âHaha, thatâs a secret.â Chen Yang laughed and then continued eating.
Seeing Chen Yang wouldnât say, Yang Ruoxi didnât press further and picked up her chopsticks to keep eating.
Yang Ruoxi was naive; when she truly considered Chen Yang a friend, she didnât have many reservations.
But Li Han was different.
She was a career woman, so whatever the situation, she always maintained her image.
So even though she also couldnât stop eating, her manner was much more restrained than Yang Ruoxiâs.
The three of them sat inside, eating heartily for more than an hour before they finally stopped.
After finishing the meat, each person also drank a bowl of delicious wild mushroom soup,
âAh~ This wild mushroom is still as fresh as ever!â Yang Ruoxi exclaimed in praise.
âOf course, I made the soup with them immediately after picking them.â Chen Yang chuckled.
Hearing this, the two women exchanged a smile and then sat on stools to rest for a while.
It wasnât long before Li Hanâs phone suddenly rang.
She answered, spoke a few words, and then immediately indicated they had to leave.
Hearing they were leaving, Chen Yang stood up, âWhy are you leaving so soon?
Why donât you stay longer?â
âHehe, itâs already afternoon, and it wonât be long before it gets dark.
We should get going, but weâll come visit you again another time,â Li Han replied with a smile to Chen Yang, and pulled Yang Ruoxi to the clinicâs exit.
Knowing they had to leave, Yang Ruoxiâs face showed some reluctance, but she didnât say much.
She had to follow Li Han.
âAlright then, take care on the road, come visit when you have the time, and call me if anything comes up.
Maybe I can help,â Chen Yang said with a smile.
âMhmm.â
Li Han nodded, then waved goodbye with Yang Ruoxi and drove off in their luxury car.
Chen Yang watched as the two women drove away, then turned and tidied up the bowls and chopsticks.
Time quickly reached sunset.
Seeing the sun set, and not having seen Wu Kexin, Chen Yang felt puzzled.
âDidnât she say she would help me talk to Aunt Zhang?
Why is there no news from her now?â
With nothing else to do at home, Chen Yang decided to take the initiative to go to the village office to look for Wu Kexin and ask about the situation with Aunt Zhang.
While the sunset glow still lingered, Chen Yang reached the village office and found Wu Kexin in the office.
Possibly because it was almost dark, Wu Kexin had already taken a bath and changed into more casual clothes.
Knock knock.
Chen Yang knocked on the office door.
At the sound, Wu Kexin lifted her head and saw Chen Yang at the door,
âHow come youâre here?â
Chen Yang walked in, âI came to ask about the matter with Aunt Zhang.â
âOh, I see,â Kexin said.
âAunt Zhang agreed, said itâs fine to rent for two thousand a year, if thereâs no issue, we can pay the rent tomorrow.â
âWhen did you finalize this?
Why didnât you tell me about it?â Chen Yang pulled up a stool and sat in front of Kexin to ask.
Kexin bowed her head, apparently writing something on the table.
âIâve been really busy, okay?
And even if I had told you, we couldnât have paid today, so I thought Iâd find you tomorrow,â Kexin said, still looking down.
âOh, all right then.â
Chen Yang nodded, then did not speak again.
He also did not make any movement but just quietly sat opposite Kexin.
At first it was okay, but after a while, Kexin, noticing that Chen Yang still hadnât left, spoke up, âIs there anything else?â
âNo,â
Chen Yang shook his head.
âWhy donât you leave when itâs getting dark?
Do you want me to let you stay here overnight?â Kexin said unpleased.
âHaha, sure, I wouldnât mind at all!â Chen Yang joked.
Kexin rolled her eyes without a word.
âDream on!â
With that, Kexin stood up, seemingly having finished her task.
Since Kexin had left, Chen Yang naturally wouldnât stay in the office any longer.
So he followed Kexin to the door.
Seeing that they were at the door and Chen Yang was still following, Kexin blushed and said, âWhat is it, do you really want me to let you stay here overnight?â
âOf course, you canât go back on your word, village chief,â Chen Yang continued to tease with a smile.
âRascal.â
Kexin, annoyed, glanced at Chen Yang, then directly closed the door.
Chen Yang knew very well that Kexin would not let him stay overnight; his behavior was just meant to tease her, nothing more.
Seeing the door closed, Chen Yang touched his nose and left sulkily.
When he got home, Chen Yang prepared to wash up and go to sleep.
But at that moment, Zhang Xueying suddenly arrived.
Zhang Xueying looked very rushed and was visibly panicked.
âBrother Chen Yang, please come to my house to checkâŚ
thereâs a snake in my houseâŚâ Zhang Xueying said breathlessly.
Chen Yang looked at her heaving chest and said, âA snake?
Iâll come and have a look.â
With those words, Chen Yang followed Zhang Xueying quickly towards her home under the cover of night.
âWhen did you come back?
Whereâs Xiaoxiao?â on the way, Chen Yang asked.
âI just got back not long ago.
Iâm planning to stay at my parentsâ place more often, so I came back to gather some clothes.
Thatâs when I encountered the snake,â Zhang Xueying said, her face pale.
âSo you came back alone today?â Chen Yang continued to ask.
âYes,â Zhang Xueying nodded.
As they talked, they arrived at Zhang Xueyingâs house.
Entering the main room, Chen Yang looked around and asked, âWhereâs the snake?â
Zhang Xueying, pale-faced, pointed to her room and said, âIn the wardrobe in my roomâŚ
itâs a golden snakeâŚâ
Hearing this, Chen Yang walked towards Zhang Xueyingâs room and, reaching the wardrobe, began to carefully inspect it.
Snakes are dangerous, but are very common in the rural village, so he was not afraid.
After circling the wardrobe, Chen Yang indeed found a yellow snake writhing among some clothes.
This type of snake is commonly found in rural areas.
It is non-venomous, but its bite is extremely painful.
Upon seeing the snake, Chen Yang picked up a broom that was leaning against the corner of the wall and started to move the clothes surrounding the snake, aiming to find its vital point.
But as Chen Yang moved the clothes, the snake sensed his intent.
It immediately coiled itself up in the wardrobe and faced Chen Yang, continuously flicking its tongue.
