: Righteous Actions, Charging for Medical Treatment

"You're lucky to have met someone as kind and reliable as me."

"Otherwise, I'll probably be in a wheelchair in the future," Chen Huan muttered as he turned around and squatted down by the river to wash his hands.

"Are you saying I'm dirty?" Zhao Jingjing was annoyed again.

She didn't know why she was so angry.

Chen Huan just saved her foot, so why can't she feel grateful to him at all?

Was it because of his nonchalant, carefree expression, or the burning gaze he gave me when he looked at my body just now?

Chen Huan shook the water off his hands, dried them, and then held out his hand to Zhao Jingjing.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Jingjing was taken aback.

He then realized that Chen Huan was trying to be a gentleman and help him up.

So she stretched out her fair hand, wanting to grasp Chen Huan's large palm.

But Chen Huan slapped him across the face.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Jingjing scolded angrily.

"Why are you pretending to be confused?"

"Of course I'm paying for your treatment! I've been working so hard for you all day, do you really think I have a foot fetish?" Chen Huan shouted seriously.

"Who do you think you are, asking me for money?"

"Then how dare you say you're kind and reliable?" Zhao Jingjing felt she had never been so angry in her life.

What kind of brain circuit does Chen Fan have? Does he really have no manners at all when facing such a beautiful woman like me?

Thinking only about money, isn't that going too far?

Chen Huan's expression was serious. "I didn't stand by and watch you die. I didn't leave you here to become crippled. What is this if not kindness?"

"He solved your illness and saved you from danger with just one move. What else could you call that but reliable?"

"You go to university in the city, do you get free medical treatment at the hospital just by using facial recognition?"

"Or are you planning to repay it in some other way?"

As Chen Huan spoke, his eyes couldn't help but dart back and forth between Zhao Jingjing's two long, white legs.

The stagnation of internal energy has now dissipated by eight or nine-tenths, so at least for the time being, there's nothing to worry about anymore.

What needs to be seen should eventually be seen properly.

Zhao Jingjing quickly pulled her leg back and slowly got up.

I tried putting my injured foot on the ground and gently stepped on it a couple of times, and it really didn't hurt anymore.

  

"How much money do you want? Stop with the nonsense, you money-grubber!"

"I can afford it."

Chen Huan curled her lip. "No wonder she's the village chief's daughter. A lot of the money your Zhao family plundered from the people has probably been spent on you, hasn't it?"

Although Zhao Jingjing's outfit used relatively little fabric, the material was clearly not ordinary; it must be a brand name item.

And the phone he was holding was an Apple.

Chen Huan knew that these phones were very expensive, especially the new model with a large screen.

Thinking about the impoverished life my family lived, I suddenly felt resentful.

"Stop talking nonsense. A lot of my money comes from tutoring. If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense," Zhao Jingjing argued, blushing.

But they clearly lacked confidence.

Chen Huan was too lazy to argue with him and simply held up five fingers.

"Fifty?" Zhao Jingjing immediately rummaged through her pockets.

She had a few hundred yuan in her small wallet, and pulled out a handful of change to throw to Chen Huan.

"What are you dreaming about?"

"These days, a braised pig's trotter at a restaurant costs more than fifty yuan. Are you saying that your feet aren't even as good as a pig's trotter?" Chen Huan said sarcastically, pursing her lips.

"You want another five hundred? Are you crazy?"

"Why don't you go rob a bank!" Zhao Jingjing retorted.

Chen Huan shrugged and replied like a rogue, "Robbing a bank deserves to be shot, but giving money to someone who is sick is only right and proper."

"If you don't have money, why are you pretending to be a rich lady? Aren't you ashamed to brag and talk big?"

Zhao Jingjing was so angry that she trembled. She rummaged through her wallet and found that she didn't have five hundred yuan.

He took out his phone and said, "Give me your payment QR code, I'll transfer the money to you."

Chen Huan took out his secondhand phone, somewhat bewildered.

He knew that we were in the age of mobile payments, but he had no idea where the QR code for receiving payments was hidden.

"You country bumpkin, using such an old phone." Zhao Jingjing said with disdain.

He reached out and snatched Chen Huan's phone, quickly downloaded a chat application, and added her as a friend.

"I'll transfer it to you in a bit, you won't lose a penny." After saying that, he threw the phone at Chen Huan and turned to leave angrily.

Looking at Zhao Jingjing's slender and graceful back, and her two long, white legs, Chen Huan felt a little reluctant to leave.

Without even looking at the phone closely, he put it directly into his pocket.

When Chen Huan asked Zhao Jingjing for money earlier, she was just upset, not greedy.

I quickly checked my internal condition again.

I plan to resolve the most pressing issues here first.

I sat up, mimicking the qigong postures I'd seen on TV, with my back to the river and my face to the mountains, trying my best to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Not long after, the last bit of stagnant true energy in his body was finally cleared.

In addition, Chen Huan discovered that his meridians were stronger than before, but as a mortal, he still seemed unqualified to quickly cultivate the Joyful Union Technique.

"We'll go into the mountains to gather some herbs later, so we can go back and nourish ourselves."

"We can't let this incredible opportunity and top-tier cultivation technique go to waste," Chen Huan muttered as he got up.

Just as I was about to head up the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of bubbles rising from the river behind me.

"What the heck?" Chen Huan immediately turned his head.

In the grass by the river, there was a trail of dissipated bubbles, and the air was filled with a unique fishy smell, but nothing else.

"It smells fishy, ​​is this fish?"

"How big must this fish be to be able to blow such big bubbles?" Chen Huan's eyes lit up.

Chen Huan tiptoed along the bank towards the bushes.

A dark shadow slowly appeared and disappeared through the gaps in the grass.

It looks to be about two feet long from head to tail.

Chen Huan casually picked up a pebble the size of a fist from the riverbank.

Without fishing gear, this is the only simple and crude method we can use.

Just as he drew closer and was about to make his move, the dark shadow suddenly surfaced on the water.

The large black python pattern looked quite abrupt at the intersection of light and shadow.

Its entire body is as thick as a human calf, which is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"Holy crap, is this a giant spicy snack?" Chen Huan subconsciously stopped what she was doing and then stomped her foot to shoo it away.

With a splash, the thing with black python patterns on its head swayed and turned in a different direction.

This time, Chen Huan saw things clearly.

What was swimming among the water plants was not some giant black spicy snack, but a large black fish with patterns all over its body that looked like a water python.

"This stuff is great! Fish is very nutritious, and it's even better when made into sauerkraut fish." Chen Huan's eyes lit up again.

But as soon as he lifted the stone, the big black fish saw him, twisted its body, and sank to the bottom of the water, disappearing from sight.

"Damn it, I'm not letting you get away today!" Chen Huan squatted down by the river.

He knew the habits of this big black fish; it could see what was happening on the shore from the water, and it would immediately hide in the water at the slightest disturbance.

However, this fish cannot stay in the water for long because its respiratory system cannot filter oxygen from the water.

It won't be long before they have to surface to breathe.

That will be the best opportunity to capture them.
