The carefree life of Yang Shuisheng, the village miracle doctor

Arriving at the pool behind the mountain, the moonlight was brighter than the night before, and the surface of the pool was covered in a silvery white light.

Liu Yulan was already waiting there. She stood by a large rock by the pool, her hair loosely tied up, looking exceptionally gentle in the moonlight, yet also carrying a hint of nervous anticipation.

Upon seeing Yang Shuisheng approaching, a joyful and relaxed smile immediately appeared on her face, and she quickly went to greet him.

As soon as they got close, they naturally embraced, and the previous awkwardness disappeared.

Liu Yulan's body was warm, soft, and fragrant. Yang Shuisheng could clearly feel her full, soft breasts pressed tightly against him, and her slender waist was so delicate that it could be grasped in one hand.

Liu Yulan did not refuse at all. Instead, she stretched out her arms and hugged Yang Shuisheng's waist and back tightly, burying her face in his neck and greedily breathing in his reassuring scent.

After a simple kiss and caress, the long-suppressed desire was quickly ignited.

The two were soon entangled, their clothes scattered, their breaths and suppressed moans mingling. Liu Yulan was more passionate and proactive than ever before, perhaps stimulated by the environment, or perhaps because she was growing increasingly fond of Yang Shuisheng.

An hour later.

When the wind and rain stopped, the two embraced and rested against the warm, smooth stone.

Liu Yulan's cheeks were flushed, and her breathing had not yet calmed down. She leaned against Yang Shuisheng's chest and whispered, "Shuisheng, tonight, I heard the people who came to bring the food chatting."

"Oh? What did you say?" Yang Shuisheng perked up.

"They said they searched the mountains all day but found nothing, not even a ghost."

"However, their leader seemed to be in a hurry. He said that he would call more people tomorrow to search in different areas. In three days at most, they would search every place in the Daliang Mountains." Liu Yulan recalled the bits and pieces she had heard.

Yang Shuisheng's heart sank.

Three days!

Time was running out. He recalled the cliff where Lin Wan had been found. Although it was hidden, if those people increased their manpower and searched carefully in sections, it was very possible that they would find traces of a fire he had started and bloodstains and drag marks.

If they follow the clues and come to the village to inquire, Lin Wan will be in danger.

We must find a solution as soon as possible!

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sister-in-law Yulan. This news is very important." Yang Shuisheng hugged her tighter and thanked her sincerely.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Liu Yulan snuggled against him, enjoying the rare tenderness. "I'll listen carefully again tomorrow, and I'll tell you if there's anything new."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Take care of yourself too." Yang Shuisheng lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

The two snuggled together and talked for a while longer, until the night dew grew heavy, before reluctantly parting ways.

Liu Yulan tidied her clothes and quietly returned to the village ahead of everyone else.

Yang Shuisheng waited a while longer before getting up to leave.

On his way back, he felt the effects of his recent cultivation.

The amount of Qi in my dantian increased from five to six, but only by one. The effect was much worse than the one I had with Liu Xianglan that evening.

This seems to confirm his previous conjecture: the stronger, more uninhibited, and more demanding a woman is, the better the nourishing effect on his cultivation.

Although Liu Yulan had feelings for him, she was ultimately reserved and introverted, and her desires were not as outward and greedy as Liu Xianglan's.

"It seems I should pay more attention to this aspect when cultivating in the future."

"For example, we could try to suppress the type of Liu Xianglan and see if that would be more effective."

Yang Shuisheng was making plans in his mind.

Back home, the house was pitch black and silent.

He entered the room in the dark and gently closed the door. He could hear Lin Wan's even and steady breathing coming from the bed; she was clearly fast asleep.

Yang Shuisheng breathed a sigh of relief and carefully lay down next to her.

There was still a little distance between the two.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Yang Shuisheng was still half asleep when he vaguely felt a warm, smooth, long leg draped over his waist and gently rubbed against him.

It's Lin Wan.

She seemed to still be fast asleep, but subconsciously twisted and crossed one leg.

The hem of her skirt had already slipped down to her upper thighs, and her delicate, smooth skin clung tightly to Yang Shuisheng's side waist, bringing a strong sense of stimulation.

Her faint fragrance and body temperature were extremely alluring in the hazy, ambiguous early morning.

Yang Shuisheng was instantly wide awake, and a certain part of his body reacted uncontrollably.

He quickly took a deep breath, gently moved Lin Wan's restless leg away, then quickly got out of bed and put on his clothes.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself if he lay down any further.

He went to the kitchen and washed his face with cold water to calm the restlessness in his heart.

Then I started a fire and cooked two bowls of egg noodles.

"Cough cough—"

Just as the noodles were cooked, footsteps and coughs could be heard outside the courtyard gate.

Yang Shuisheng's heart tightened, and he quickly went out to block the doorway.

"Shuisheng, are you awake?"

The person who came was Zhao Youcai. He had his hands behind his back and his usual fake smile on his face.

"Perfect timing, let's meet at the threshing ground at the village entrance after breakfast."

"Today is the day for the open vote to elect village officials. You are a candidate, so you need to be there," Zhao Youcai said, his eyes seemingly glancing into the house.

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, I understand. I'll be there after I finish eating." Yang Shuisheng turned slightly to the side, completely blocking his view, his tone calm.

"Okay, come early." Seeing that he was blocking the way and couldn't force his way in, Zhao Youcai gave him a word of advice and then turned and left.

Yang Shuisheng waited until he was far away before returning to the house. He then solemnly instructed Lin Wan, who was eating noodles, "I have some errands to run later, it might take a while."

"Remember this, absolutely! Absolutely! Don't go out!"

"No matter what noises are going on outside, don't make a sound or show your face if anyone knocks on the door, understand?"

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Wan nodded earnestly, "Yes, I've got it. Don't worry."

Yang Shuisheng finished his noodles in a few bites, locked the door, and headed towards the threshing ground at the village entrance.

A number of villagers, men and women, young and old, had already gathered at the threshing ground, forming several groups and whispering among themselves.

The conversation naturally revolved around today's election.

"Who should we vote for?"

"I think Erniu is alright; he's young and hardworking."

"Old Wang is experienced and reliable."

"Li Youtian's family is well-off; perhaps he can find some benefits for everyone."

"I heard Yang Shuisheng is also running for office? Is he capable? He's so young..."

"Hey, don't underestimate him. Shui Sheng is a different person now. He has connections all over town."

"That's right, I heard that Brother Kun calls him brother."

"So what? Being a cadre isn't about who has the strongest fist."

……

Amid the murmurs, Zhao Youcai and Yu Jian walked to a makeshift earthen platform in front.

Yu Jian, holding a tin megaphone, coughed twice and said a few platitudes about "democratic elections, selecting the virtuous and capable." Then Zhao Youcai took over and announced the names of the four candidates.

Wang Laoshuan, Li Youtian, Zhao Erniu, and Yang Shuisheng.

The four were invited to the front of the stage and stood with their backs to everyone.

Behind each person was a large, rough porcelain bowl, and then someone gave each villager who was eligible to vote a dried soybean.

"Everyone, just pick the person you want to choose and put the beans into the bowl behind them."

"One bean per person, no more than one bean allowed, and no less than one bean allowed!"

Zhao Youcai loudly announced the rules.

Voting begins.

The villagers lined up and walked past the four candidates one by one, dropping the decisive soybean into the bowl they approved of.

"Ding-dong"

"Ding-dong"

……

The sound of soybeans falling into the rough porcelain bowl was crisp and pleasant, and it was especially clear in the threshing ground.

Yang Shuisheng stood with his back to the crowd, his expression calm, but his heart was also filled with some turmoil.

He wasn't particularly interested in this position, but since he'd been put in it, he naturally didn't want to lose.

The voting lasted for most of the morning before it ended.

Then the votes were counted publicly.

Zhao Youcai and Yu Jian counted the beans themselves, announcing their names loudly for each one they counted.

"Wang Laoshuan, one vote!"

"Li Youtian, one vote!"

"Yang Shuisheng, one vote!"

"Zhao Erniu, one vote!"

"Yang Shuisheng, another vote!"

……

As the vote counting continued, the clinking sound from the bowl behind Yang Shuisheng grew more and more frequent, and soybeans quickly piled up.

While the other three people also received food, the process was significantly slower.

The final result was no surprise.

Wang Laoshuan: Nineteen votes.

Li Youtian: Thirty-seven votes.

Zhao Erniu: 52 votes.

Yang Shuisheng: 108 votes!

The huge vote difference silenced the entire threshing ground for a moment, before it erupted into even louder discussions.

No one expected that Yang Shuisheng, the youngest and least experienced candidate, would win by an overwhelming margin.

"The results are in!"

With a broad smile on his face, Zhao Youcai clapped his hands vigorously and announced loudly, "Our new village cadre for Taohua'ao Village is Comrade Yang Shuisheng. Let's all applaud and congratulate him."

Yu Jian also clapped and said a few polite words like "Young and promising, the people's expectation is right".

The two men, singing in unison, invited Yang Shuisheng to the center of the stage, as if they greatly supported and thought highly of him.

"Shuisheng," Zhao Youcai patted Yang Shuisheng on the shoulder and said earnestly, "From now on, you'll be a village cadre. You must shoulder your responsibilities, lead by example, and set a good example for all the villagers, young and old!"

Yu Jian also chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes, we must be honest and upright and serve the villagers."

Sparse applause rang out from the audience, but most of the audience looked on with curiosity and amusement.

"I refuse to accept this! Yang Shuisheng is not qualified to be a cadre!"

However, at this joyous moment, a voice filled with resentment suddenly rang out from below the stage.

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Erniu, who had been eliminated, with a flushed face, pushing his way out of the crowd and pointing at Yang Shuisheng on the stage, shouting loudly.

"Erniu, what are you yelling about?"

"The results are in; it was chosen by everyone through a vote."

Villagers immediately spoke up to rebuke them.

"Exactly, you have to accept the consequences of your bet, don't embarrass yourself here."

"Are you a sore loser?"

"I'm not a sore loser!"

Zhao Erniu, with his neck stiff, faced the accusations of the crowd. Instead of backing down, he raised his voice, his face showing a smug and ruthless look as if he had exposed a secret. He shouted, "I'm doing this for the sake of our village's reputation and honor."

"Yang Shuisheng's behavior is improper and his conduct is corrupt; he is completely unfit to be a cadre!"

"because……"

He deliberately dragged out the tone to attract everyone's attention.

"He's keeping a beautiful woman of unknown origin in his house."

"Who knows where that wild woman came from?"

"He's a bachelor, hiding a strange woman in his house. Who knows what shady things they were up to?"

"He's so strong, he might be illegally detained!"

"How can someone so morally corrupt be a village official? Don't you all agree?"
