The village beauty and me!

Zhang Haiyang noticed that Chen Huan's expression was strange and that he didn't respond to his words.

He immediately frowned and added, "What, you don't believe me?"

"You can ask around among the underworld. Back in the day, I, Zhang Haiyang, was Sun Laohu's right-hand man in Dongjiang City. You've heard of Sun Laohu, haven't you?"

People in society generally can't shake this habit: they tend to bring up other people at the drop of a hat.

Chen Huan said with a smile, "I've heard of it. We even had drinks together at the same table a couple of days ago."

Zhang Haiyang curled his lip, "Brother, you can't just brag like that."

"Although Boss Sun no longer cares about matters of the underworld, he doesn't just drink with people casually. How could you, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who practices acupuncture, possibly be so close to him?"

Chen Huan didn't explain, but simply helped Zhang Haiyang lift the young girl up.

Between movements, he would occasionally stare intently at the other person's chest.

The young girl noticed this and felt a little awkward.

However, since Chen Huan had indeed saved him, he couldn't get angry.

So I had no choice but to reach out and cover it.

Chen Huan immediately realized that the girl had misunderstood.

He coughed twice and explained in a serious tone, "I wasn't looking there, I was looking at something else."

It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned it, because once they did, the young girl's face turned even redder.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.

He muttered under his breath, "Who are you kidding? What else is there to see besides that?"

Seeing that Zhang Haiyang next to me was frowning again, the atmosphere was a bit off.

Chen Huan quickly said, "The green bead in the very center of the necklace around your neck, that's not an ordinary object, is it?"

The girl subconsciously reached out and gripped the beads below the necklace, her expression softening slightly.

He explained, "This is a family heirloom. You have a good eye; were you looking at this the whole time?"

Chen Huan nodded repeatedly, "That's right, otherwise, what do you think I'd be looking at?"

The young girl blushed slightly. "It's nothing. I just thought you were trying to steal my beads."

The misunderstanding was finally cleared up. Zhang Haiyang, who was standing to the side, knew exactly what had happened, but he didn't bring it up again.

He reached out and patted Chen Huan on the shoulder. "Young man, thank you for your help earlier. If you don't mind, come to my place and I'll make you a cup of tea to properly thank you."

To put it bluntly, they wanted Chen Huan's help to continue treating the young girl's illness.

Chen Huan thought that since he needed to kill time anyway, and treating the other person's illness was an excellent opportunity for him to cultivate.

The cultivation method he inherited is extremely magical. On the surface, it can only be optimized and rapidly improve strength when you cultivate with him.

However, if you encounter a truly difficult and complicated disease, the more true energy and effort you expend in overcoming it, the greater your gains will be.

It's no less beneficial than a thoroughly enjoyable double renovation.

After considering all factors, Chen Huan nodded in agreement.

Zhang Haiyang beamed with joy as he led the way, holding his daughter's hand.

He didn't forget to take out a cigarette and offer one to Chen Huan, asking with a smile, "Young man, what's your name? Where do you hang out?"

The young girl frowned slightly. "Dad, didn't you promise me you'd turn over a new leaf? Why do you still talk to people with that gangster-like manner?"

"Does he look like a nobody?"

Zhang Haiyang scratched his head awkwardly, "Sorry, it's just a habit, and it's not so easy to change in a short time."

Chen Huan took the cigarette, put it to his lips, lit it with his lighter, and replied with a smile, "It's nothing. I'm just an ordinary farmer from the countryside who happens to know a little about healing. It's fate that we met today."

Chen Huan didn't just casually use the word "fate."

Zhang Haiyang just mentioned that he used to be Sun Laohu's right-hand man.

Although there might be a little exaggeration in his words, judging from the almost uncontrollable murderous aura he exuded, he must have been a ruthless person in his youth.

Even now, he's still considered a prominent figure.

Sun Laohu's friend should be helped if necessary.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's fate, absolutely fate." Zhang Haiyang said happily.

In the blink of an eye, the father and daughter led Chen Huan to a shop on the street outside a small alley.

To be precise, it's a small restaurant that's not very big.

The sign above the store reads "Steamed Buns, Dumplings, Barbecue, Fried Skewers," and similar words.

It's not open yet, so no one's here.

"Excuse me, this place is a bit messy."

"Brother, have a seat first, I'll make you some tea." After opening the door and entering the room, Zhang Haiyang quickly picked up a rag and wiped a table.

He arranged for Chen Huan and the young girl to sit down, and then busied himself boiling water.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Huan pointed to the bead on the young girl's chest and asked, "Is this really an heirloom from your ancestors?"

"Then your ancestors must have been either rich or noble."

The young girl blinked her big eyes and said, "You're right. My dad said that going back a dozen or so generations, our family members were military officers in the imperial court, and they held very high positions."

"Later, for some reason, it gradually fell into disrepair, and nothing was left, except for this bead."

"I'm the youngest in my family, so it fell to me."

"If you're interested, I'll take it down and show it to you."

After saying that, she lowered her head confidently to take off the necklace.

Chen Huan quickly stopped her, "No, I think it's fine."

The girl blushed immediately. "You rascal, do you want to see the beads or something else?"

"It's so embarrassing to be stared at like this all the time."

Chen Huan coughed twice. "Then I won't look at it. Anyway, you absolutely cannot take off this chain."

"This thing has spiritual energy. The reason your body has been able to hold on until now without completely collapsing is because of this bead."

"You'll definitely get sick if you pick it."

The girl's eyes widened in surprise. "It seems that what you said is really true."

"I always wear this thing with me, even when I shower or sleep. One day I wanted to dye my hair, so I took it off, and I felt drowsy all day and then I got sick that night."

"It only got better after I took medicine and wore the beads."

When the topic of medicine came up, the girl suddenly braced her elbows on the table, leaned forward, and tried to get closer to Chen Huan.

He asked in a low voice, "You told my dad before that there was something unclean in this medicine, what exactly is it?"

"I've been having this question in my mind for a while now, can you tell me about it?"

Because of the angle of the other person, and because the neckline is relatively low.

Thus, from Chen Huan's perspective, he inevitably got to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery.

The young girl didn't notice Chen Huan's subtle glances at all; she just kept asking questions out of curiosity.

Distracted, Chen Huan casually replied, "There's corpse oil in it."
