Mountain Village's little Doctor

Ye Fei was taken aback, then he chuckled and handed the T-shirt to Xie Chunmei.

"Chunmei sister-in-law, you can't possibly go back to the village bare, right? Giving me a peek is enough, you don't want to give the whole village's men a free show, do you?"

Xie Chunmei's tense heartstrings snapped instantly, and as she burst into tears, she flung herself into Ye Fei's arms.

"Xiao Fei, sister-in-law thought... you were like Wang Daniu, wanting to force yourself on me."

The always anxious Xie Chunmei finally vented out all her grievances in that moment.

Her tears soaked Ye Fei through, and her body kept shaking, repeatedly thudding against Ye Fei's chest.

Already aroused by Xie Chunmei's endless allure, Ye Fei now felt the warmth in his arms, and sinful thoughts began to churn inside him once again.

Just as his reason was about to be scattered, Ye Fei forcefully pushed Xie Chunmei away from him.

"Chunmei sister-in-law, you still have snake venom in your body, you can't get this emotional, please stop crying."

Picking up the T-shirt, he draped it over Xie Chunmei's body, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "Chunmei sister-in-law, hurry and put on the clothes, I'll carry you down the mountain."

Xie Chunmei sniffled and nodded her head, immediately putting on Ye Fei's T-shirt.

Fortunately, her pants were of good quality and hadn't been ripped apart by Wang Daniu, otherwise it would have been troublesome.

After getting dressed, Xie Chunmei noticed Ye Fei's muscular arms, his chest and abdomen were all sharply defined muscles.

Having been widowed for three years and not having felt a man's affection for a long time, she was stunned.

Almost violated by Wang Daniu, reminiscing about Ye Fei's gentleness just now, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

Both were men, yet that bastard Wang Daniu tried to force himself on me.

While I was almost naked in front of Xiao Fei, he didn't harbor a single improper thought.

How many good men like this could there be in the world?

How wonderful would it be to marry Xiao Fei?

Xie Chunmei, with misty eyes, felt a flush of heat on her cheeks as this thought crossed her mind.

As the thought crossed her mind, Xie Chunmei felt inferior because of the vast disparity between her and Ye Fei's social status.

Tch.

Xie Chunmei, do you have no shame?

What right do you, a woman who has been married and is no longer in her prime, have to even dream of marrying someone young, handsome, and college-educated like Xiao Fei?

Suddenly feeling despondent, Xie Chunmei looked up at Ye Fei in front of her and contemplated another thought.

"Xiao Fei, have you found a girlfriend at college?"

Ye Fei managed to squeeze out a wry smile, his face etched with bitterness.

"Me, a poor country boy, who would fancy me?"

Xie Chunmei was overjoyed and grabbed Ye Fei's hand.

"Xiao Fei, then you must come back home with sister-in-law, I'll help you solve that."

"Ah?" Ye Fei looked at Xie Chunmei in surprise, hastily shaking his head in refusal, "Chunmei sister-in-law, I didn't save you expecting anything in return, you don't need to offer yourself as a repayment."

Watching Ye Fei's serious expression, Xie Chunmei felt both shy and amused.

Today, Ye Fei not only saved her from Wang Daniu's clutches, but also saved her life.

Either reason was enough for her to offer herself to him.

Not to mention, Ye Fei's tenderness and thoughtfulness made her, a widow parched for three years and in dire need of affection, feel cared for by a man again.

Even if Ye Fei hadn't saved her those two times, she would have willingly thrown herself into his arms.

But a woman's reserve still prevented her from voicing the thoughts in her heart.

Xie Chunmei gave Ye Fei a shy glance and gently patted his strong chest.

"Xiao Fei, sister-in-law was talking about something else. My sister has been visiting me these days, I'll matchmake you two. Don't worry, my sister's looks and figure are much better than mine."

Ye Fei realized that Xie Chunmei intended to set him up with a girlfriend, and that he had misunderstood, feeling instantly embarrassed.

"Sister Chun Mei, I haven't really thought about getting a girlfriend yet. Thanks for your kindness, but let's talk about it some other time."

Right after, Ye Fei turned his back to Xie Chunmei and bent down.

"Sister Chun Mei, you carry the medicine basket, and I'll carry you down the mountain."

Xie Chunmei had wanted to persuade him further, but then she thought since Ye Fei was going to escort her home anyway,

she would inevitably meet her sister and things would naturally fall into place, so she said no more.

Once Xie Chunmei climbed onto his back, Ye Fei immediately wrapped his arms around her thighs and started slowly walking down the mountain.

The rugged mountain path was hard on Ye Fei.

With each unsteady step, Ye Fei could clearly feel two spots on his back getting hotter and his legs were almost stiffening.

If he had been going up the mountain, it wouldn't be so bad since he could bend over, but going downhill he had to walk upright.

Ye Fei grimaced and silently swore he would never wear jeans again.

Finally arriving at the village, Ye Fei carried Xie Chunmei to her front door.

"Sister Chun Mei, I won't take you inside. Otherwise, if someone sees me shirtless in your house, they might think we're up to something."

Ye Fei laughed sheepishly and directly put Xie Chunmei down at the door.

"Xiao Fei, come inside with your sister. I'll introduce you to my sister, and you can have your shirt back," she said.

In fact, this was what Ye Fei feared the most. He quickly waved his hands to indicate there was no need and snatched the medicine basket from Xie Chunmei's hands, then ran off like a shot.

On his way home, Ye Fei sighed deeply.

I'm penniless, and there's still a debt of twenty thousand yuan at home that hasn't been resolved.

If I really do take a liking to Sister Chun Mei's sister, what would I use to marry her and bring her home?

Musing sadly, Ye Fei changed into a short-sleeved shirt and, carrying the medicine basket, headed straight for the county town.

"I picked quite a few herbs today, selling them in town should hold off that bastard Li Feng for a while."

By the time he arrived at the county town, it was already late.

Ye Fei didn't wander around aimlessly but went directly to Huixin Hall, the largest chain of traditional Chinese pharmacies in the county.

Huixin Hall was a large business, and they always offered fair prices for the herbs they bought.

Moreover, the herbs I picked were wild medicinal herbs, and only Huixin Hall was willing to pay a high price for them.

Ye Fei took the medicine basket off his back and walked straight into Huixin Hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw a young man bumping into him in a hurry.

"Oh, excuse me, please make way."

The young man had an urgent look on his face, mumbled a quick apology, and squeezed past Ye Fei.

"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and get some cold water."

"Move those chairs over here, quickly lift Boss Bai onto a chair."

"Oh no, what are we going to do? If something happens to Boss Bai in our store, how can we afford the responsibility!"

Standing at the entrance, having just stepped aside for that young man, Ye Fei was immediately stunned by the scene inside the store.

A beautiful woman lay unconscious on the floor, and beside her, an old man with white hair and beard gestured frantically to the surrounding people.

After a flurry of commotion, he turned back to another middle-aged man who was taking the pulse of the beautiful woman.

"How is Boss Bai doing?" he asked.

The middle-aged man's brows were tightly furrowed, his hands trembling as he took her pulse.

"How could this happen! This medication has been used for several years, every time it managed to revive Boss Bai, why isn't it working this time!"

The old man's eyes lost their sparkle, and he slumped to the ground, muttering to himself.

"What are we going to do, is Boss Bai just supposed to wait for death?"

Seeing the two faces filled with despair, Ye Fei stepped forward and, taking off his medicine basket, said, "I can save her."
