Huang Mao saw Ah-Fang kicked away by Li Xiaobao and immediately swelled with indignant fury, screaming, “Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
“Kill your head!” Li Xiaobao also burst out yelling, slapping Huang Mao across the face.
With a miserable scream, Huang Mao’s head twisted to the side, a mouthful of fresh blood mixed with several teeth spurted out, and his face instantly swelled up.
“I…” Huang Mao, feeling the pain on his face, became even more furious.
“Was it easy for me to come to the city?
And to run into you two scumbags ganging up to frame me…”
As Li Xiaobao spoke, his fists rained down on Huang Mao’s face like a fierce storm, continuing to pound him into constant wails.
“I may be from the countryside, but I’m not stupid!” After beating up Huang Mao, Li Xiaobao walked over to Ah-Fang, grabbed her braids amidst her screams, and dragged her to the old man’s feet.
“What…
what do you want to do?” By now, Ah-Fang was completely terrified, and she didn’t expect to encounter such a violent man.
Huang Mao was beaten by Li Xiaobao until he lay on the ground, too weak to even move.
“That’s too much!”
“Yes, young man, you’ve gone too far!”
“Right!
Even if this lady framed you just now, you shouldn’t hit her!”
The onlookers, seeing Li Xiaobao’s heavy-handed approach, began to condemn him one after another.
“All of you back the hell off!
If anyone dares come closer, I’ll take your lives!” Li Xiaobao threatened as he made his way to find the gleaming sickle on the tricycle.
“Kid, why are you acting like a mad dog, biting anyone you catch?” The crowd grew more displeased.
“You people, stop pretending to be good in front of me.
Where were all you idiots and morons when I was being framed?
Not one of you stood up, and now you come out to talk?” Li Xiaobao, wielding the sickle, roared angrily at the crowd.
“This…” The crowd, shamed by Li Xiaobao’s accusations, feigned helplessness and shook their heads with affected vexation, backing away a few steps.
“You city folks think you’re the only ones who can play?
Us from Kao Mountain Village don’t believe we can’t handle the city!” Li Xiaobao glared at the people with disdain and walked up to the old man.
Ah-Fang, looking at the bright sickle in Li Xiaobao’s hand, shivered in fear and kept retreating on the ground, pleading with Wan Feng, “Brother Wan, you have to stand up for me!”
At this point, Wan Feng seemed at a loss.
“If you don’t want Lord Wan to die right now, stay the hell away from me!” Li Xiaobao coldly snapped at Wan Feng, brandishing the sickle and a glint of cold light flickered.
Wan Feng hesitated greatly.
Could this young man really save his father?
Li Xiaobao swept a cold gaze over everyone, sickle in his left hand, right hand grasping the old man’s wrist, and a stream of Five Elemental Wood Energy began to slowly flow into the old man’s body.
Wood Energy promotes growth, and as soon as it entered the old man’s body, it surged swiftly towards his heart.
The old man’s complexion visibly improved at a visible rate.
“What?
How?”
The people around were not blind, and although they had chosen to be blind just a moment ago, they could clearly see the old man’s complexion turning ruddy.
“Is…
is this for real?” Overwhelmed by the change on his father’s complexion, Wan Feng was incredibly moved, tears formed in his eyes, and he knelt beside the old man, calling out, “Dad!
It’s me, it’s Feng!”
“Cut it out, why the hell are you screaming?
Lord Wan isn’t dead yet!” Li Xiaobao, observing the change in the old man’s expression, knew his Five Elemental Wood Energy had worked, and spoke coldly.
On hearing this, Wan Feng nodded vigorously and broke into tears of joy.
“It’s a miracle!” Liu Ming stood at a distance, seeing the old man’s complexion grow rosier, felt overwhelmed, and wanted to rush up and kiss Li Xiaobao.
If Li Xiaobao knew what Liu Ming was thinking, he’d probably vomit on the street.
“Cough cough!” With continual supply of Five Elements Wood Energy from Li Xiaobao, the old man suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.
“Dad!
I’m here!” To everyone’s surprise, Wan Feng, with such a status, completely lost his composure and clutched the old man’s hand, crying painfully.
Seeing this, Li Xiaobao was somewhat moved, thinking of his own father, Li Detian.
“All right, the matter isn’t settled yet!” Li Xiaobao shoved Wan Feng aside and looked at the old man, “Elder Wan, do you remember me?”
“I remember!” The old man nodded.
“Here’s the thing, let me briefly tell you about what happened after you ‘died’…” Li Xiaobao’s words almost made the surrounding people faint.
“Er…
wait, I mean after your apparent death…” Li Xiaobao recounted the general events to the elder, intermittently infusing him with Wood Element Spiritual Energy to ensure the elder had a steady breath.
Kidding aside, there was no way Li Xiaobao would heal the old man in one shot, that just wasn’t his style!
“Lord Wan, now that you understand what happened, can you tell me if it was me who pushed you over?” Li Xiaobao asked the old man.
“It wasn’t!” Even though the old man was of age, his mind was clearly very lucid.
“Good!
Congratulations on getting the right answer, Lord Wan.
Now for the second question…” Li Xiaobao’s words made Wan Feng nearby feel an urge to explode, but considering that it was Li Xiaobao who had saved his father, he let it slide.
“Can you tell us about what happened before you fainted?” Li Xiaobao said, glancing at Ah-Fang.
“Before I fainted, Ah-Fang said she would go buy something, but half an hour had passed and she still hadn’t returned, and she took my medicine with her…” The old man’s words made everyone understand the situation clearly.
“Hehe, you heard that!” Li Xiaobao laughed mockingly at Wan Feng, and just then he let go of the old man’s hand.
“What…
What exactly is going on with Ah-Fang?” Wan Feng was completely furious, questioning how a caregiver entrusted to accompany Lord Wan could vanish for half an hour, and whether that was something a caregiver should do.
In the end, they even falsely accused Li Xiaobao.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Li Xiaobao said, swinging the sickle in his hand as he walked over to Huang Mao.
Finally, under Li Xiaobao’s punches and kicks, Huang Mao gave in and spilled everything.
It turned out that he had recently gotten involved with Ah-Fang, and always wanted to find time to be with her.
This morning, after Ah-Fang made breakfast for the old man, she urged him to go shopping, even though the old man didn’t want to go and was eventually forced out by Ah-Fang.
Then, Ah-Fang went to have a secret rendezvous with Huang Mao, which almost resulted in the old man’s death.
“Ah-Fang, you’ve gone too far!” Wan Feng said, clenching his fists in anger after he learned of the whole situation.
“What kind of caretaker is this?”
“Yeah!
Such a caretaker deserves to die!”
“Right!
If it weren’t for this young man here, I’m afraid the old man would have been a goner!”
After understanding the true circumstances, the people around them also began to look down on Ah-Fang.
Li Xiaobao had a face full of disbelief, thinking, you really are bystanders who don’t know the truth, just watching the excitement!
“It’s bad!
The old man is out of breath again!” Liu Ming, as the hospital director, acted quickly upon seeing the old man lacking breath, and immediately grabbed his wrist to take his pulse.
“Get up, what business does a hospital director like you have meddling here?” Li Xiaobao wouldn’t let Liu Ming come in and mess things up, as the matter was not yet settled.
“This…” Liu Ming was instinctively about to blow up, but he held it back.
After all, Elder Wan’s life was now in Li Xiaobao’s hands!
“Ahem!” Wan Feng coughed awkwardly, then said, “The misunderstanding just now was really regrettable.
Do you think you could save my father first?
I will be greatly indebted to you in the future!”
The people around, upon hearing this, all looked at Li Xiaobao with envy.
Wasn’t this the kind of opportunity that many people dream of yet never obtain?
And now it had fallen into the lap of a farmer?
Upon hearing Wan Feng’s words, Li Xiaobao started to become interested, but he still pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Ah, I don’t need any great thanks!”
Li Xiaobao’s words made everyone feel as if their views on life and the world were dislocated.
“Since you put it that way, I can’t deny you the honor, can I?”
Everyone felt an urge to punch him.
“Yes!” The key was that at this moment, Wan Feng couldn’t say anything but just nod vigorously in agreement.
“However, bringing the old man back to life is a bit troublesome!” Li Xiaobao’s words startled Wan Feng, who quickly said, “Whatever the condition, as long as you can save my father!”
“It’s not really a difficult task.
You know that the old man’s heart isn’t too good now and needs some stimulation!” Li Xiaobao said, glancing at Ah-Fang.
“How should we stimulate him?
Do we need to use a defibrillator?
There’s equipment on the ambulance!” Hospital director Liu Ming, who had been listening on the side, quickly came over to offer help.
“That thing of yours won’t work!” Li Xiaobao waved his hand dismissively.
“What?
I brought the most advanced equipment this time!” This time Liu Ming didn’t just bring the most advanced medical equipment but also some of the most skilled doctors.
Li Xiaobao said their equipment wouldn’t work, which made them feel somewhat indignant.
“If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.
When I say it needs stimulation, it has to be the most primitive kind of stimulation!” Li Xiaobao said, a cunning smile playing across his lips.
The most primitive stimulation?
What is the most primitive stimulation?
Wan Feng looked at Liu Ming, who as the hospital director had a bit more authority in this matter.
Liu Ming, seeing Wan Feng look at him, was momentarily taken aback before turning to the doctors he had brought.
Then the doctors also exchanged puzzled looks among themselves.
What exactly is the most primitive form of stimulation?
“You’re so clueless!” Li Xiaobao shook his head in exasperation and said, “The most primitive stimulation is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, get it?”
Me…
Oh…
Bah!
Li Xiaobao’s statement made Liu Ming and his medical staff feel an impulse to take a scalpel and finish him off.
“Of course, it’s not you guys!
Let her do it!” Li Xiaobao said, pointing at Ah-Fang, who was sitting next to the old man, with a cold sneer on his face.
“This…
this…” At this point, not only Ah-Fang but also Wan Feng had an embarrassed look on his face.
Asking Ah-Fang to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the old man was a bit too much.
“I object!” Huang Mao, who had been nearly out of breath, suddenly revived and raised his hand, protesting.
“Move aside, I didn’t kill you, and now you dare to object!” Li Xiaobao went up and started punching and kicking Huang Mao once more.
“Agh!” Huang Mao screamed and fainted.
“Come on, stop watching.
If you don’t do it soon, the old man really will be out of breath, and you’ll be responsible!” Li Xiaobao’s words made Ah-Fang tremble with fear, and she started crying, “No, please, no!”
“How about when you framed me?
Didn’t think of ‘no’ then, did you?
Now you think of it, but it’s too late!” Li Xiaobao, without further ado, grabbed Ah-Fang by the hair and dragged her to the old man’s side.
“This young man, look, we have female nurses and doctors here; they might be more professional than this lady.
Can we switch to someone else?” Hospital director Liu Ming stood awkwardly behind Li Xiaobao and said.
Wan Feng also looked at Li Xiaobao with an embarrassed expression.
His dad was already in his seventies, and asking Ah-Fang to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was somewhat problematic.
Elder Wan knew that Li Xiaobao meant to trouble Ah-Fang a bit, just to get some revenge!
“Really?
Are your female doctors and nurses as pretty as her?
We can’t let Elder Wan suffer any indignities!” Li Xiaobao’s words nearly brought everyone to their knees.
