Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Moreover, a deep blush rose on Li Cuicui's face.

After all, she had never been so intimate with any man before, let alone like this.

So that's what it feels like.

As Li Cuicui thought about it, her cheeks turned even redder, almost as if they were bleeding.

Most importantly, Li Cuicui suddenly felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and warmth.

Li Cuicui even felt that this old man cared about her more than her own father.

After all, whenever she had a headache or fever, her father, Li Guangzong, would just give her money to go to the clinic to see Dr. Jia Huizhen, and he wouldn't take care of her at all.

Before he knew it, more than ten minutes had passed. Seeing that Li Cuicui had stopped crying and was looking at him shyly, Zhao Dazhu blushed and straightened up.

After coughing twice, Zhao Dazhu asked, "How are you now? Does it still hurt?"

"It still hurts a little, but it's much better than before," Li Cuicui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"That means my treatment was effective," Zhao Dazhu said with a smile.

Li Cuicui nodded, looking at Zhao Dazhu with a shy expression, and suddenly asked, "Old man Zhao, does it smell good?"

"Smells good, my foot!"

Zhao Dazhu glared at Li Cuicui angrily.

"If it doesn't smell good, then why did you just say it..." Li Cuicui said shyly.

"I'm doing this to treat you!" Zhao Dazhu said shamelessly.

"But something seems off about you."

Li Cuicui continued.

No way.

Zhao Dazhu coughed again, feeling extremely embarrassed. He felt like he was about to lose face.

If word gets out, won't the villagers laugh their heads off?

Li Cuicui may have misunderstood Zhao Dazhu's meaning, and said, "Don't worry, Old Man Zhao, I won't tell Sister Yujiao about this."

Zhao Dazhu found it both funny and infuriating, and said, "Does it make a difference whether you tell her or not? I didn't do anything extraordinary with you, I just helped you... helped you suck out the scorpion venom. Even if she finds out, she definitely won't be angry."

"Don't be so sure of yourself. Women can be very narrow-minded. Sister Yujiao is a woman too, and her mind might be even smaller than the eye of a pin," Li Cuicui said seriously.

"Come on, if you're not in pain anymore, then I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Put on your socks and shoes yourself."

Zhao Dazhu said, reluctantly loosening his grip on Li Cuicui's small feet.

She looked shy and coy, saying, "Old Zhao, could you... could you help me a little more? I'm still in a bit of pain. There's probably still some scorpion venom that hasn't come out yet. If you help me a little longer, maybe it will all come out, and then I won't feel any pain at all."

Zhao Dazhu coughed and said, "Since...since you're begging me like this, I'll swallow my pride and treat you again."

……

The sun had already completely set, and night was about to fall.

Zhao Dazhu then stopped arguing with Li Cuicui and coaxed her to put her socks and shoes back on.

Zhao Dazhu suddenly had a strange feeling that he was taking care of Li Cuicui as if she were a child.

Moreover, once this feeling arises, it cannot be shaken off, and it even grows stronger and stronger in one's heart.

"What's wrong?" Li Cuicui asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Zhao Dazhu shook his head repeatedly.

Li Cuicui persisted, saying, "You must be thinking something wicked, otherwise why were you looking at me so strangely just now?"

"It's nothing," Zhao Dazhu said awkwardly.

"Tell me now, or I'll go find Sister Yu Jiao right now and tell her you ate my feet on the mountain!" Li Cuicui threatened.

Zhao Dazhu said, both amused and annoyed, "Do whatever you want. I believe Yu Jiao won't argue with me over such a trivial matter."

"Then I'll tell everyone, I'll tell the whole village, let everyone know you ate my feet..."

Upon hearing Li Cuicui's words, Zhao Dazhu's expression changed drastically.

"You little brat, you're really taking advantage of me, aren't you? I treated you out of kindness, and I even sacrificed my dignity to help you suck out the scorpion venom. And now you're turning your back on me?" Zhao Dazhu said angrily.

"Then hurry up and tell me, were you having some bad ideas just now?" Li Cuicui asked incessantly, while hugging Zhao Dazhu's arm and shaking it vigorously, almost as if she was being affectionate with him.

Zhao Dazhu had no choice but to say, "It's really nothing. It's just that when I was helping you put on your socks and embroidered shoes, I suddenly thought that if I had a granddaughter, she might be the same age as you, and just as beautiful..."

Upon hearing Zhao Dazhu's words, Li Cuicui suddenly realized what he meant, and her cheeks flushed red.

"How could you have such a thought?" Li Cuicui asked shyly.

"I'm over fifty years old, is it wrong for me to want to hold my grandchildren?" Zhao Dazhu felt a little strange inside, but he still stubbornly insisted.

Li Cuicui blushed and said, "If you want to have a child, why don't you and Sister Yujiao have one?"

"What are you talking about? Would I dare let Yu Jiao get pregnant with my child? If I really got her pregnant, wouldn't the villagers gossip about her behind her back?" Zhao Dazhu said irritably.
