14: Chapter 14: Give it a Try 14: Chapter 14: Give it a Try “Mm, I’ll try to bear with it, Xiao Hun, but please be gentle, I’m afraid of pain,” Fen Ran said, squinting her eyes, not daring to lift her head. Liu Hun poured some red flower oil into his palm and carefully began to rub his hands together. The liquid heated up as he rubbed, and soon after, he grasped Fen Ran’s calf with both hands as the red flower oil slowly slid down from his palm. The calf muscles and meridians slowly expanded under the kneading of Liu Hun’s hands, speeding up the blood circulation and reducing the swelling. “Hmm?” Fen Ran bit her lip, unable to deny that Liu Hun’s hands on her calf were very comfortable. It felt as if a warm heat was enveloping her calf, the muscles spreading out in all directions with the motion of Liu Hun’s palms. Liu Hun smiled slightly as he felt a gentle white vapor slowly streaming from his palms while he pressed them against Fen Ran’s calf. The red flower oil took shape beneath this mist, slowly traveling up along her calf muscles. Liu Hun noticed the swelling on the wound gradually decrease with the white vapor mixed with the red flower oil, fortunate that Fen Ran had her eyes closed and saw nothing. With her eyes closed, Fen Ran felt powerful surges relaxing her taut muscles. With each massage from Liu Hun’s hands, the energy within her meridians skyrocketed. What surprised her the most was that Liu Hun possessed such skill. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this young man before her might be capable of great things. “Xiao Hun, it’s kind of itchy,” Fen Ran murmured softly. Liu Hun frowned slightly. “Itchy? That shouldn’t be. With such a good technique, how could it itch? Maybe you’re mistaken? If it really itches, there might be a risk of wound infection, which could cause serious trouble.” “What are you talking about? That’s not it,” Fen Ran pouted. “I mean my calf is itchy from your rubbing!” Itchy? Liu Hun was curious; he pressed his fingers a bit harder into the calf muscle, and every push made Fen Ran gasp, “Gentle... gentle... it hurts a bit.” Liu Hun helplessly said, “This shouldn’t be a wound infection, but rather, your muscle is just reacting to the pressure. Fen Ran, should I massage it again? Look, the swelling has gone down quite a bit.” After Liu Hun finished speaking, Fen Ran opened her eyes and looked at her calf. True to Liu Hun’s words, the swelling had significantly decreased under the influence of the red flower oil and his peculiar hand technique. How did he do it? It was almost more miraculous than going to the hospital. “Oh my, that’s not what I meant! Are you really that naive, or just pretending to be?” Fen Ran was getting a little anxious. Liu Hun frowned slightly; he truly didn’t understand what Fen Ran was trying to say. All his life, he had focused solely on healing people, never concerning himself with other matters. He shook his head and said, “I really don’t understand.” Looking into Liu Hun’s honest eyes, Fen Ran felt an urge to laugh. So pure and yet unaware of what he wanted to do, Xiao Hun was truly innocent. “Alright, alright, keep massaging, keep massaging. You’ve made my calf comfortable, but there are other places that aren’t yet! Don’t you want to?” Fen Ran chuckled, looking at Liu Hun with a pair of puzzled eyes, and couldn’t help but speak out. Looking at Liu Hun, Fen Ran suddenly had a thought and asked softly, “Do you like watching operas?” “Like.” Liu Hun nodded. Fen Ran grinned and responded, “Since that’s the case, let me tell you about a drama. Maybe you’ll find it pretty interesting?” “Hmm.” Liu Hun nodded subconsciously, eagerly awaiting the drama Fen Ran was about to describe, which he had never seen before. After all, everyone loves a good drama in Wanbao Village. Fen Ran smiled faintly, “Once upon a time, there was a rich young master named Mr. Ximen. One day, as he passed by an inn, Pan Jinlian just happened to open a window, and to her surprise, a stick fell out. The two saw each other and fell in love at first sight. Mr. Ximen joined Pan Jinlian for a meal, and during their dinner, Pan Jinlian’s chopsticks dropped to the floor. As she was about to pick them up, Mr. Ximen grabbed her foot, and then... then Pan Jinlian could no longer bear it.” “Why couldn’t she bear it?” Liu Hun did not understand. He had never heard of such a drama. Perhaps it was not the kind of play that made it onto the stage, but Fen Ran brought up this story to tell him something, though he was not sure what. Fen Ran chuckled, unsure if Liu Hun was playing dumb or pretending, “Silly, a woman’s foot should not be touched by any man other than her own husband, and you...” “I get it.” Before Fen Ran could finish, Liu Hun grabbed Fen Ran’s small foot and slowly lifted it. By rights, even if Liu Hun understood, he should not have been interested in her foot. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong? You... you’re acting a bit strange today.” “Don’t move; I can heal you in an instant. If you fidget, beware I might accidentally harm your bones. Then, anything you do would be in vain.” Liu Hun was getting impatient; he knew what Fen Ran wanted to say, but he certainly would not do it. For him, it was better to focus his energy on thoroughly studying the book they had unearthed. Just as Fen Ran was about to say something, Liu Hun had already pressed several acupoints on her body. Suddenly, a warm current dashed through her acupoints and quickly entered her body. In the blink of an eye, Liu Hun took a deep breath and announced, “Fen Ran, it’s done.” Fen Ran felt the pain in her calf dissipate, replaced with comfort. Surprised, she looked down to see that the wound on her leg had vanished, along with the intense pain. The muscles in her calf had returned to their regular state, and she even felt she could run three laps without a problem. Fen Ran was thrilled; she stood up and ran a few laps, “Goodness, this is truly amazing! I never expected you to be so skilled, Liu Huyi. You’re even more incredible than the ‘reincarnated someone’ and better at healing than scraping bone to treat injury!” Liu Huyi chuckled and touched his forehead, “You flatter me, that bone scraping treatment should be Hua Tuo’s. In terms of genuine medical skills, I still have a long way to go compared to him.” “Fen Ran, this isn’t flattery; this is a great skill! You must hone it and develop it properly. Perhaps one day it could become a significant asset and benefit us all,” Fen Ran said earnestly. If Liu Huyi could leave Wanbao Village, perhaps he could lead them all to prosperity.
