The longed-for village system

Chapter 26 Zhao Xiaogu's Panic
Teacher He strongly agrees with this point. He has also been to the hospital many times for his back injury, but the answer he received was the same as Teacher Huang's: it could only be managed and not cured.

If it can truly cure the disease completely, then this bone-setting technique will become famous throughout the country, and countless people will flock to Manyuan Village.

We should know the results today. If they don't experience any more lower back pain tonight, then it shouldn't happen again. He's really looking forward to tonight.

Of course, he wasn't doubting Chen Qing's words, but rather he was somewhat incredulous. A back injury that major hospitals across the country couldn't cure was easily healed by Chen Qing with just a few massages. This massage technique was simply too miraculous.

"Everyone has their own expertise. Perhaps you, Professor Huang, are seeing Western doctors, who are somewhat inferior to traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in this area. Some professional traditional Chinese medicine doctors can also perform bone setting."

Chen Qing became modest again, though he didn't specify that the system had given him top-tier skills, while the skills of other doctors might be at the beginner level, his skills were at the master level.

Moreover, his skills and techniques are not those of other doctors; his skills are authentic traditional Chinese medicine, many of which have been lost in modern times.

After some playful banter, they began to formally arrange their work for the day. Considering the arrival time of the guests, they decided to go to the fishpond to catch fish first, and pick pineapples in the afternoon.

"Teacher He, why don't you stay home and help Teacher Huang? We young people can handle the fish-catching work," Chen Qing instructed Teacher He.

Although catching fish is not physically demanding, the pond is not very deep, only up to a person's thigh. Once in the water, the force on the whole body is different. If you exert too much force on your legs and fall, it can easily cause a misalignment of the lumbar bones. This is completely different from swimming.

"I never thought I'd have a day when I don't have to go out to work. Thank you all for your help today!"

He Jiong dared not disobey Chen Qing's instructions, as they concerned his future lumbar recovery.

Chen Qingzhen didn't know where the fishpond was located. There were three fishponds around here, but he didn't know if the Mushroom House had bought one or dug another. Led by Peng Peng, the group arrived at the fishpond.

"Brother Chen, how about we have a competition between our two groups? My sister and I will be one group, and you and Sister Xiaogu will be the other. We'll see which group catches the fish first, and the losing group will grant the winning group one request. How about that?"

If it were just him alone, he would have already suppressed Peng Peng's arrogant attitude. However, since it involves Zhao Xiaogu, it depends on Zhao Xiaogu's opinion. This is the least he can do to show respect to her.

“I’m fine with it, we accept the bet.” Zhao Xiaogu didn’t refuse and directly accepted Peng Peng’s bet.

As for the conditions? They were all filming a show, so they figured Peng Peng wouldn't dare to do anything reckless. At most, if they lost, they'd have to do a little dare, which she could handle. The betting started, and Peng Peng and her sister immediately went into the fishpond to catch fish, a stark contrast to Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu, who were leisurely watching the fun from the edge of the pond. At first glance, it looked like the two of them had given up!

Zhao Xiaogu was also very puzzled as to why Chen Qing was pulling her away from the water. Did he really not care about winning or losing? Or did he have other plans?

There's a saying that goes, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish." We won't be able to catch any fish if we go down now. We should wait until they stir up the water before we try to catch fish in troubled waters.

Suddenly remembering a scene from a TV series featuring Zhao Xiaogu in her past life, she said as if possessed, "This is the pond I leased for you. No one can catch fish without your permission."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience in the live broadcast room fell silent instantly, and then the live broadcast room barrage flew up like snowflakes.

"Wow! I didn't expect the landlord to be such a domineering CEO! His sweet talk is so smooth."

"I admire you, I admire you. That's incredibly romantic. If my crush said that to me, I'd marry him immediately."

"Brother Chen is really bold, daring to say such things to our Goddess Xiao Gu. Does he disregard our existence?"

"The person upstairs is right, he's just ignoring your existence."

"Kill Brother Chen and take back the goddess."

Zhao Xiaogu stared at Chen Qing with her beautiful eyes. Although this man had an ordinary appearance, his words were full of wisdom, making people unconsciously believe him.

However, what he said next stirred her calm heart and made her blush. This sudden sweet talk left her a little flustered.

Was he confessing his feelings to her? But they had only met for a short time! Was this too abrupt? Perhaps she was overthinking it; Zhao Xiaogu felt a little flustered.
