Chapter 122: Chapter 125
Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five
Afternoon.
Xiaoshan lay on the big stone of Shieyan Rock, his hands pillowing his head, a straw hat covering his face.
The sunlight bathed him.
He held a blade of wild grass in his mouth, enjoyed the wind coming from the mountains, crossed his legs, and squinted his eyes in comfort.
Life really should be spent like this to savor its full flavor.
Carefree and without the cunning and intrigue of the city.
Suddenly, someone lifted the straw hat off.
"Brother!"
A childlike face leaned in close.
"Shiyu, huh."
Xiaoshan smiled warmly.
Long Shiyu, wearing a one-piece floral swimsuit, pulled on Xiaoshan, pouting, "Brother, play with little Yu, please."
Xiaoshan got pulled up.
After several days of gentle guidance, Long Shiyu recovered quickly, her intelligence having returned to normal. And being of a pure Yin constitution, she was naturally very clever, quickly realizing that Xiaoshan, given his age, couldn't possibly be her father.
Once this idea took hold,
she stopped calling Xiaoshan daddy.
However, she was still very clingy towards Xiaoshan,
turning into his shadow, following him around all day.
Xiaoshan was roped into getting up and saw several women playing in the river.
Wang Yan, Long Xiaoling, and Xu Manqing were all frolicking in the water.
There were clear differences here; Wang Yan wore a bikini, Xu Manqing donned a one-piece black swimsuit, and Long Xiaoling was in a swimsuit too, but with a skirt attached.
Xiaoshan, holding Long Shiyu, jumped down from the goose rock.
They made a big splash.
Seeing Xiaoshan jumping in, Wang Yan and the others swam over, splashing water at him.
Xiaoshan alone battled against them all.
A group of them played around until the women, drained of strength, climbed back onto the shore to lie on the pebble beach.
Seeing Long Shiyu still clinging to Xiaoshan's arm,
Wang Yan enviously said, "Shiyu, you're so big already, why are you still clinging to your brother like that?"
"I'm not big," Long Shiyu said in a girlish voice.
"Not big? You're much bigger than me," Wang Yan exclaimed as she walked over to Long Shiyu's side, her eyes wide in amazement as she looked at her front.
Wang Yan's eyes were filled with sheer envy.
To be honest, she wasn't exactly small among her peers.
But compared to Long Shiyu, she fell way behind.
Even Xu Manqing and the others had a faint trace of envy in their eyes.
"Uh, little Yan, watch your words; don't lead Shiyu astray," Xiaoshan said.
"Psh, so old-fashioned," Wang Yan made a face. "What age are we living in? Oh, right, brother, aren't you really good at mixing medicines? Do you have something for breast enhancement?"
"What are you thinking about," Xiaoshan said embarrassedly.
"So, do you have it or not?"
Xiaoshan thought for a moment and realized he actually did, but he felt awkward saying, "Yours aren't small at all, why bother with that stuff?"
Wang Yan's eyes lit up at his response, "Brother, you can really make it?"
"I can make it."
"Good brother, please make it for me, quickly," Wang Yan pleaded, pulling on Xiaoshan's hand.
"Alright, alright, I'll make it for you," Xiaoshan relented.
"Xiaoshan... when you've made it, could you... give me a little," a somewhat timid voice spoke up.
Long Xiaoshan turned his head and said with his mouth agape, "Teacher, you want some too?"
Xu Manqing's face instantly turned red, thinking how embarrassing it was for a teacher to ask a student for that kind of medicine.
But, looking at Shiyu's figure, she really couldn't help but feel envious. Experience tales at мѵʟn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
What woman is not concerned about her figure?
Long Xiaoshan was completely baffled.
Looking at the teacher's chest, those didn't look small at all, so why would she not find them cumbersome?
Forget it.
He didn't understand and didn't want to think about it any longer; after all, since the teacher had spoken, he had no choice but to prepare the medicine. He said, "Then I'll go gather the herbs, you all have fun."
With that, Long Xiaoshan went off alone into the mountain to gather herbs.
The breast enhancement medicine required ingredients such as Digen Fruit, Caishi Flower, Long Pattern Grass, and papaya seeds; none of which were particularly hard to find. After spending an afternoon, Long Xiaoshan gathered everything and returned to the farm.
He went straight to the kitchen, lit the stove, added water to the pot, and waited for the fire to boil the water.
Long Xiaoshan took the stem of the Digen Fruit, the buds of the Caishi Flower, the tendrils of the Long Pattern Grass, and the papaya seeds, adding them one by one into the pot to simmer. Controlling the heat carefully, the water in the pot gradually turned into a pale yellow, slightly translucent paste.
A pleasant aroma began to waft through the air.
Smelling that scent, Long Xiaoshan knew the concoction was a success.
After turning off the heat, he poured the breast enhancement paste into bottles.
He then stepped outside.
Since the women knew Long Xiaoshan was preparing the breast enhancement paste, they were all waiting.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan coming out, Wang Yan was the first to run over. Long Xiaoshan handed her a bottle and said, "Take it. Apply it evenly to your chest, once in the morning and once at night."
"Thank you, brother," Wang Yan said, holding the bottle as if it were a precious treasure and hurriedly running back to her room to try the medicine.
Xu Manqing sat there somewhat awkwardly.
Long Xiaoshan handed another bottle to Xu Manqing and said, "Teacher, this bottle is for you. Apply it to your chest, once in the morning and once at night."
"Okay, okay," Xu Manqing replied, her face blushing as she took the bottle and also hurried off.
As for the remaining bottles, Long Xiaoshan stored them away.
"Brother, what about me?" Long Xiaoling spoke up, her face flushing, fingers nervously twisting the hem of her skirt.
"You want it too?"
"Mhm."
"You, learning bad habits from Wang Yan," Long Xiaoshan said helplessly, shaking his head. Thinking that the paste didn't have side effects, he handed the last bottle to Long Xiaoling.
Long Xiaoling stuck out her tongue at Long Xiaoshan, grabbed the bottle, and hopped away cheerfully.
Long Shiyu, seeing that everyone else had received some but not her, started crying out, "Brother, I want some too."
Long Xiaoshan broke into a sweat, thinking that Shiyu was already well-developed, and it would be improper for her to use it.
Moreover, she was still at a growing age, nowhere near the end of her growth spurt.
He quickly tried to appease her.
It wasn't easy, but he finally managed to calm Long Shiyu down.
Just as he was talking, a phone call came in.
Long Xiaoshan saw it was Shen Yuerong calling and hurriedly asked, "Sister Shen, what's up?"
"Xiaoshan, about the road we talked about last time, the approval has come down from above, and what's more, it was specially approved by the city with a direct infusion of ten million yuan," Shen Yuerong said with a tone filled with surprise and excitement.
She had approached the matter with a try-and-see attitude, not expecting that not only would a third-grade highway be approved for such a remote mountain area, but the city would also specially allocate ten million yuan. It was simply unbelievable.
Why would the city allocate ten million yuan to build a road in such a poor mountain area?
Hechuan City wasn't wealthy, with plenty of other places to spend money.
It was an utterly abnormal move.
Long Xiaoshan realized instantly that this must be a quid pro quo from the Ye Family.
Following that last visit, he had made time to give Elder Ye acupuncture treatment twice more, completely resolving the elder's tumor without accepting any money from the Ye Family.
It was probably the Ye Family's way of repaying him.
As for why they knew Long Xiaoshan wanted to build a road, for the Ye Family, that was a simple matter. To them, they probably had Long Xiaoshan's lineage traced back three generations for treating Elder Ye.
