Chapter 37 - Achyranthes Bidentata
Chapter 37 of "Peach Blossom Divine Medical God" begins revealing: In the clinic, listening to the sounds of bathing coming from the inner room, it... Continue the adventure!
In the clinic, listening to the sounds of bathing coming from the inner room, it was impossible not to be moved.
But Chen Yang was very restrained and had no thoughts of doing anything inappropriate.
About ten minutes had passed when the sounds of bathing suddenly stopped, it seemed she had finished.
âVillage chief, are you done?
May I come in?â Chen Yang stood up, knocked on the door, and asked inside.
âYes, you may!â
A gentle voice from the beautiful village chief came from inside, then Chen Yang pushed the door and entered.
As Chen Yang just stepped into the inner room, a fragrance assaulted his nostrils.
It was a very pleasant scent, not of perfume, but the natural scent of the beautiful village chief after bathingâŚ
body fragrance!
He sniffed subtly and then looked up to see the beautiful village chief who had just come out of the bathhouse, dressed in new clothes.
Although the village chief had changed her clothes and wasnât as seductively wet as before, she was still very beautiful.
âThank you, Chen Yang.
You should take a bath too, donât catch a cold,â the freshly bathed village chief said, her expression back to normal, no longer the shy and slightly awkward demeanor from before.
âMhm.â Chen Yang nodded, then took a set of clean clothes from his wardrobe and went in.
Then, after about three minutes, Chen Yang came out of the bathhouse feeling refreshed.
âItâs really something, the weather was fine and then suddenly this heavy downpour,â muttered Chen Yang to himself.
âYeah, I didnât expect it either.
I even checked the weather forecast today, and it mentioned no rain, but it still rained,â replied the beautiful village chief since Chen Yang was speaking to her.
Chen Yang simply smiled, didnât say much, and joined the beautiful village chief outside in the clinic, preparing to wait out the rain.
The two sat in the clinic neither initiating conversation, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward for a moment.
To ease the awkwardness, Chen Yang started some casual conversation with the beautiful village chief.
Chen Yang first asked what the beautiful village chiefâs name was.
âIâm Wu Kexin,â
replied the village chief.
âWu Kexin?
Thatâs a nice name!â Chen Yang said with a smile.
Wu Kexin smiled faintly, didnât say much, and began looking around, sizing up the surroundings.
After scanning the area, Wu Kexin suddenly looked at Chen Yang and asked, âLooking at your homeâs setting, are you a doctor?â
âYes, village chief, I am the only doctor within ten miles!â Chen Yang replied.
âI wouldnât have guessed, youâre so young and already a doctor.
Arenât most village doctors around forty years old?
Why are you so young?â Wu Kexin said, curiously eyeing Chen Yang.
In Wu Kexinâs mind, a typical doctor should be at least in their thirties, yet here Chen Yang was, barely into his twenties and already a doctor.
It was somewhat strange.
âWhatâs so strange about that?
You became the village chief at such a young age, isnât that more impressive?â Instead of directly answering Wu Kexinâs question, Chen Yang turned the question back at her.
A young doctor compared to a young village chief, being a young village chief was indeed more extraordinary.
âHehe, thatâs true,â Wu Kexin laughed awkwardly and didnât pursue the topic further.
The two then sat silently in the clinic, waiting for the rain to stop.
The summer storm came quickly and left just as fast.
They had not been sitting long in the clinic before the downpour stopped.
âChen Yang, the storm has stopped outside; why donât you take me to the village committee to report now, otherwise, it might start raining again soon,â Wu Kexin stood up and said to Chen Yang, seeing the rain had stopped outside.
âAlright, letâs go.â Chen Yang nodded, stood up, picked up Wu Kexinâs large suitcase, and took her to the village committee to report.
After delivering Wu Kexin to the village committee and handing her over to Old Liu, Chen Yang didnât linger.
He simply turned and went back to his own clinic.
Chen Yang returned to the clinic, but he didnât sit idle.
Taking his backpack and a sickle, he set off to cut grass behind the village to feed the rabbits.
The appetites of these wild rabbits were really quite large.
The feed Chen Yang had prepared for three days was actually devoured by the greedy bunch in a day and a half.
If he didnât cut grass now, the rabbits would definitely go hungry tonight.
So, with no other choice, Chen Yang took advantage of the break in the rain to grab his sickle and go cut some grass behind the village.
As the torrential rain stopped, villagers who had been sheltering at home also came out carrying their farming tools.
On his way to cut grass, Chen Yang met Ni Ziâs mother, Li Xiaoe!
Seeing the vegetable basket in Li Xiaoeâs hand, Chen Yang knew she was going up the mountain to pick mushrooms again.
After the heavy rain, it was the prime time for mushrooms to sprout wildly and be at their freshest.
âSister Xiaoe, are you heading to the mountain to pick mushrooms again?â Chen Yang quickened his pace to catch up with Li Xiaoe, who was ahead of him, and struck up a conversation.
Hearing someone calling her from behind, Li Xiaoe instinctively turned her head back.
When she saw it was Chen Yang, her face showed a smile.
âYes, Yang Zi, just after the rain, seizing the opportunity to pick some up the mountain.
What are you up to?â
âHehe, Iâm going to the hill behind to cut some grass.
I recently got two rabbits at home, need to feed them,â Chen Yang said, lifting the sickle in his hand.
âIs that so, then why not go to Weed Slope?
Thereâs a large patch of sinew grass there; rabbits really like that stuff!â Li Xiaoe pointed toward Weed Slope.
âWeed Slope?
Is there really a lot of sinew grass there?â Chen Yang asked.
âDefinitely.
Who else wants that stuff?
I wouldnât lie to you,â Li Xiaoe said seriously.
Li Xiaoe was referring to sinew grass, a type of grass that grows close to the ground.
This type of grass was very fresh and juicy; the rabbits not only liked it, but eating this grass also made them put on weight quickly!
It was much better than the other grass cut behind the village for feeding the rabbits.
Sinew grass was much better.
âThanks, Sister.
Then Iâll go over there to check it out.â
Chen Yang bid farewell to Li Xiaoe and then quickly retraced his steps, heading toward Weed Slope.
It wasnât long before Chen Yang reached Weed Slope and found the ravine filled with sinew grass that Li Xiaoe had mentioned.
The ravine was large, mainly filled with sinew grass.
From a high vantage point, it looked like a small grassland.
âSo much sinew grass!
With this, wonât my rabbits at home get super fat?â Chen Yang rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat excited inside.
For wild rabbits, sinew grass was truly a fattening miracle!
If they ate this grass for all three meals a day, it wouldnât be long until the rabbits grew significantly larger!
Chen Yang got excited, then directly dropped his sickle and started pulling out the sinew grass.
Since sinew grass grew close to the ground, the sickle was completely useless in front of this type of grass, forcing Chen Yang to use his hands to pull it out.
However, this type of grass was very frail and could be pulled out easily, so Chen Yang didnât need to exert much effort to cut it.
Chen Yang, hunched over, pulled the grass intently for a while, and before long, the backpack he had brought was completely filled with sinew grass.
Looking at the packed backpack, Chen Yang returned home satisfied.
Once he got home, Chen Yang immediately dumped the fresh sinew grass into the rabbit pen.
Seeing the fresh food, all the rabbits inside swarmed over and began to chew on the new food while squatting on the ground.
âEat up, eat a lot, put on more weight, make more money!â Watching the rabbits crazily chewing the food, Chen Yang felt very happy.
The more they ate, the more they would grow, and the more money they would fetch!
