5: Chapter 5 Delay 5: Chapter 5 Delay “Oh no, this is bad, why is the kid vomiting? Did something happen?” Aunt Qiu immediately became anxious. She pushed through the crowd, and upon seeing Mao’er’s agonized expression, she started stamping her feet, looking like she was about to pick a fight with Liu Hun. “Hahaha, you all see? What did I say? What did I say? This guy was just spouting nonsense, just babbling! Now look, something happened, right? That’s what you get for believing him instead of me. I’m the professional one here, healing is a piece of cake for me.” Rascal Chen laughed loudly at Mao’er’s suffering, eagerly watching the scene unfold. “I never expected Liu Hun to be such a person!” “Ah, I initially thought that when Mao’er woke up, I’d have a chance to praise Liu Hun. But now, it seems I was overly optimistic.” “Hold on, don’t jump to conclusions just yet! Something seems off...” ..... Someone said something, and many people quickly looked at Gouzi, who had sat up from the bed. His face was increasingly flushed, devoid of the previous lifelessness. The expression, the eyes, that little smile at the corner of his mouth, it was like the comfort of leaving the outhouse. “Mao’er... are you... are you okay? Are you feeling alright now?” Bai Lian watched as Mao’er slowly sat up from the bed. She didn’t know how Mao’er was doing, and didn’t dare to even touch Mao’er. Mao’er chuckled, “Mom, I feel strong; I think I’m better.” “Better? Not yet. I just expelled the coldness from your body; it’s too soon to say you’re cured.” Liu Hun smiled faintly. He picked up a few packets of medicinal powder from the table and sprinkled them back into the boiling water. As before, when a stream of air from his left palm floated into the boiling water, a flash of green light appeared. He blocked the green light from view, so many people didn’t see this peculiar incident. “These packets of medicinal powder should be dissolved in water over three doses. Remember to drink it three times a day, and be sure not to drink it all in one go, split it into three portions. By then, you should be fully recovered.” Liu Hun said calmly. “Mao’er!” Bai Lian could no longer hold back and rushed forward to embrace Mao’er. “Hey? Rascal Chen, where are you headed? Want to take me along?” A pretty Qin Yue saw Rascal Chen attempting to sneak away, and with a giggle, boldly stepped forward to block his path. This move drew the attention of the surrounding villagers to him. Everyone knew there was a wager between Liu Hun and Rascal Chen. Leaving abruptly would leave a bad impression on the villagers, as they all wanted to see Rascal Chen embarrassed. “Well... there’s something at home I need to handle.” Rascal Chen said awkwardly, scratching his head. He was about to slip away perfectly, but Qin Yue’s words made many villagers notice him. He secretly cursed this girl in his heart. Qin Yue had not long been married in the village, and her beauty was unparalleled, especially with her curvaceous figure, which had caught the attention of many village men. “Are you really trying to sneak away now? Do you remember what you promised me earlier?” Liu Hun chuckled. “Um, Liu Hun’s here, right? We’re all from the same village, shouldn’t we be lenient when needed? Let’s not be too harsh, okay?” Rascal Chen scratched his head with a smile. “Oh? Really? I remember you said, if I cured Mao’er, you would let me handle you however I wished.” Liu Hun chuckled, “Now, I want you to kneel immediately, shout ‘Dad’ three times, and then roll out of here! Furthermore, don’t bother Bai Lian or have any designs on her in the future!” Rascal Chen, upon hearing this, could hardly do it. This would be utterly humiliating. If word got out, how could he continue to live in the village and maintain his strong image in front of these villagers? “Just put on a show, don’t overdo it. We’re all from the same village; don’t you think? If we show restraint, things will be smooth in the future.” Rascal Chen tried every tactic to make Liu Hun let him go. “You want me to let you off? Well, I can let you go. Roll here three times, then take off your pants and run home? This shouldn’t be too hard for you.” Liu Hun feigned difficulty. “Liu Hun! Don’t go too far! I mean, I am also...” Rascal Chen hadn’t finished speaking when Liu Hun stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, then held his head down to force him to kowtow three times. Each kowtow hit the ground hard, satisfying many villagers despite being three short of ‘grandpa.’ “You damn kid...” Rascal Chen broke free from Liu Hun’s grip, just about to speak. Liu Hun stepped up and stripped his pants with a tear, revealing his red heart-patterned briefs to everyone. This unexpected move caught Rascal Chen off guard. Liu Hun stepped forward and kicked, “Roll!” “Liu Hun, you just wait!” Rascal Chen yelled angrily as he rolled and crawled back. “How about it? Didn’t I tell you? Liu Hun’s got real skills, unlike some people who just pretend. If anyone’s in trouble, they should definitely seek him out. But if anyone dares to mention Rascal Chen and his mom again, don’t blame me for turning hostile!” Bai Lian, holding Mao’er in her arms, pouted slightly. After saying this, she deliberately glanced at Aunt Qiu. Rascal Chen was brought by Aunt Qiu, whose outdated thinking primarily focused on superstitions instead of seeking proper treatment. Had she allowed these two to mess around as they pleased, could her Mao’er have endured the torment? “Hahaha, seeing that guy so humiliated is truly satisfying. Sister Yulan was right, Liu Hun really is amazing; only Liu Hun could cure such a difficult ailment.” Qin Yue laughed, “Liu Hun, come home with me, and I will make you a feast.” “No way!” Bai Lian stood in front of Liu Hun, “He saved my Mao’er today, so he should stay at my house for dinner. You can’t fight me on this!” Several bachelors watching were filled with jealousy. A simple meal filled Liu Hun with satisfaction. Only later that night, laying in bed after returning home, did Liu Hun take a moment to rest. During the day, when he saved Mao’er, he felt a flow of energy from his palm that entered the boiling water, making it flash green, which surprised him greatly. “The widespread grandeur of the heavens, my Dao renews daily,” Liu Hun whispered. The words that echoed in his mind gradually enlightened him and made him realize the profoundness of ancient texts, something he had previously underestimated, and it completely overturned his worldview. Reflecting on everything that had happened during the day, Liu Hun suddenly felt that this was an opportunity granted by the heavens, a chance to bring honor and glory to his ancestors.
