Liu Hun felt a bit helpless. He pointed to a bottle of medicine on the shelf, “Just take that bottle of medicine. I specially refined it, it’s really good.” Following Liu Hun’s finger, Fen Ran stood up and took down a bottle from the shelf. She quietly opened it, and a fragrant herbal aroma wafted over, “Fragrant, truly fragrant. This is indeed good medicinal material. No wonder you were able to cure Mao’er, that little kid.” This medicinal material was something he personally dug up from the mountain, then meticulously boiled to make, very precious. However, the people in the village had long been faithful to the one-eyed granny, extremely sensitive to unusual smells, so he had to add some flavor-enhancing herbs. But really, after these herbs were added, not only were the medicinal effects enhanced, but the bitterness was also successfully removed. Fen Ran turned over, “First, lift up your shirt, and let Sister give you a rub.” Before Liu Hun could agree, Fen Ran stepped forward, lifted Liu Hun’s shirt with one hand, and with the other hand directly dabbed some medicinal powder on Liu Hun’s waist. She gently massaged, her fingertips slowly moving upwards along Liu Hun’s waist. She could feel the firm lines and perfect muscles in Liu Hun’s waist moving. Her fingers pressed down lightly, and she could even sense the firmness and slight twitching of the muscles, which wasn’t something general fitness could achieve; it was a hundred times stronger than that old thing, Ye Canghai. The more she touched, the itchier her heart became. Fen Ran was breathing heavily and could hardly bear it. Her breath was still warm as she said, “Hey, Liu Hun, let me ask you something. How many push-ups can you do?” Push-ups? Liu Hun suddenly felt like laughing. He didn’t know why Fen Ran was suddenly asking him this. “Oh, just a few hundred, I guess.” Liu Hun answered casually. “A few hundred!” Hearing this, Fen Ran almost stood up. No matter how strong a person is, how skilled in farming, doing a few hundred push-ups is impossible. Moreover, Liu Hun was so young; no matter how firm his muscles were, doing a hundred or two was already quite impressive. If Liu Hun could really do a few hundred push-ups, how would he be in bed? The more Fen Ran thought about it, the redder her face became. She even felt her cheeks beginning to blush hotly, mumbling, “A few hundred is really amazing. In that case, what about those thirsty lands?” “What thirsty lands?” The more Liu Hun heard, the more confused he became. “Ah! No!” Realizing she’d misspoken, Fen Ran quickly redirected the topic, “No, that’s not what I meant. I meant to say... I meant to say, you’re so talented, yet it’s not certain that you can reclaim those idle fields. You’re still so young, you can’t just farm all your life like this.” Liu Hun nodded, acknowledging that there was some sense to what Fen Ran was saying. His uncle had cheapened out and bought some inferior seeds, which didn’t yield any harvest from the fields. As the planting season was about to pass, if they couldn’t find seeds to plant soon, they’d have nothing to eat that year. Fen Ran sighed, “No matter how good a hoe is, it has times when it ruins the land. But if you could separate and cultivate some other lands, maybe you could grow some seedlings and, if the harvest goes well, live better days.” “Could I really switch a plot?” Liu Hun was left dumbfounded by what Fen Ran said. “Yes, what do you think I’m talking about? These lands have been deserted for so long; if they could be cultivated anew, they could definitely grow good crops. It’s just a pity... they’ve been idle too long, and nobody cares about them,” Fen Ran continued to massage Liu Hun’s waist, using her little finger to slide gently along his waist, her eyes widening with wetness. “Yes, this is indeed a good idea!” Liu Hun’s loud voice echoed throughout the entire dilapidated temple. Fen Ran was so startled by his shout that the medicine bottle in her hand nearly fell to the ground, and her body, soft as cotton, almost fell into Liu Hun’s arms. But unexpectedly, there suddenly came a heavy knocking sound at the door. “Liu Hun, come, taste what I’ve just made... Oh! What are you... What are you doing? Huh, aren’t you Fen Ran? Why are you here?” Qin Yue pushed open the door and stood at the entrance. In her hand was a basket with a plate of freshly made, fragrant eggs and clean water, yet she hadn’t expected Fen Ran to also be in the decrepit temple. Wasn’t this intentionally ruining her plans? “Sister Qin, you’re here too.” Fearing being questioned by Qin Yue, Liu Hun quickly pulled his shirt down. Qin Yue scratched her hair, and her gaze towards Fen Ran changed, “I just made a plate of tasty food and thought of letting Liu Hun try it. I didn’t know Fen Ran was also here. What a coincidence, just not sure what Fen Ran is doing here?” The tone was clearly off; it wasn’t doubt but reproach. Fen Ran could hear the meaning in Qin Yue’s words. She was so angry she gritted her teeth, hearing a crackling sound, “I was bullied by Tang Hu from the neighboring village. Ling Fei helped me out, so I’m applying medicine for him here.” Qin Yue walked into the room, “Oh, that’s what happened. I just happened to hear something about hoes and farming. Guessing this so-called farming might not be the farming in the fields.” Hearing Qin Yue say this, Fen Ran was so mad she wanted to grab her by the collar and scold her. Her so-called farming was clearly sarcasm towards herself. Ling Fei was someone Qin Yue liked too. They both liked the same guy, yet this woman repeatedly mocked her. Did she think she was a better catch? Ling Fei didn’t notice the anger in Fen Ran’s eyes and immediately spoke up, “I just remembered, oh right, Sister Qin, doesn’t your backyard have a piece of idle land? Are you still planting there now?” As soon as she heard this, Qin Yue burst into laughter, “Oh, don’t mention it. That land has been abandoned for a long time. Ever since your brother in-law went into town to develop, the field’s been left idle, and I’ve been taking the time to weed it. Otherwise, by the time he returns, the field won’t even be farmed.” “I see, but my uncle bought inferior seeds this year and couldn’t plant them, so that field won’t be usable for much longer. I wonder if I could try planting in your field?” Liu Hun was somewhat hesitant. He looked at Qin Yue, with eyes flickering, then spoke again, “I won’t farm it for nothing; if I do get any income, we can split it fifty-fifty. Would that be okay?” Liu Hun felt worried; if Qin Yue refused, it’d be troublesome. Before Fen Ran could respond, Qin Yue immediately put down the basket in her hand and applauded, “No problem, Liu Hun, anything you say is fine. This field, whether it’s left idle or planted by you, might not only yield good but also abundant crops, and save some people from eyeing it longingly.”
