The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 20 Stay here tonight
Not long after the two sat down, Li Yumei came over, carrying her child.
The child was snugly wrapped in a little blanket, clearly still deep in sleep, Ling Feng quickly took the child from her and placed her on the bed in the inner room.
Afterward, he came out and said to the two women who were exchanging greetings, "Perfect timing, while the child is asleep, Yu Mei can have a peaceful meal. I’ll serve it right up!"
Moments later, a steaming and fragrant plate of snake meat was brought to the table, Li Shiyun sniffed and curiously asked, "What kind of meat is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"Don’t ask yet, just try it. It tastes even better!"
Ling Feng teased them for a moment and served a big piece to Li Yumei before taking one himself and putting it in his mouth, then he immediately praised, "Delicious!"
Seeing the others eating, Li Shiyun hesitantly picked up a piece and took a bite.
The snake meat was soft and tender, melting in the mouth almost instantly, filling her mouth with a rich and savory flavor.
Firstly, the snake had already developed a measure of intelligence, or else it wouldn’t have been guarding the Lingzhi mushrooms, and secondly, Ling Feng’s culinary skills, honed over the years, had reached a certain level, which was why the snake meat tasted so good.
After eating a piece, Li Yumei looked up at Ling Feng and asked, "Brother Ling Feng, it’s been a long time since we had snake meat. Where did you catch such a big snake?"
"In the mountains, of course. Definitely not near the village, otherwise it would have been stewed by someone as soon as it showed its head!" Ling Feng mumbled through his mouthful of snake meat.
Li Shiyun had just swallowed a mouthful of meat when she heard the conversation and immediately widened her eyes in shock, "What! This is snake, snake meat??"
Her voice trembled, and her face went pale!
Ling Feng glanced at her, "Yeah, you’ve never tasted this delicacy before, have you?"
"Why didn’t you say so earlier!" Li Shiyun was both shocked and angry. If it hadn’t been for Li Yumei sitting nearby, she would have slammed the table!
"Heh, I thought you might be too scared to eat it if I told you. But now, after you’ve already eaten so much, is there any point in being nervous?" Ling Feng chuckled, then asked.
Li Shiyun was really upset. She had been terrified of snakes since she was little, and the mere sight of one could send her into shivers, making her forget how to walk!
And now, she had been tricked into eating snake meat, which was too much!
Seeing her displeased face, Li Yumei felt somewhat responsible and hurriedly said, "Shiyun, don’t be mad. Ling Feng meant well. Actually, eating snake meat is fine, and it even has a nourishing effect on us women!"
"Really?" Li Shiyun asked, startled, and looked at Ling Feng.
"Of course, especially for you. Although snake meat is considered slightly cool, it’s beneficial for your condition and can help expel the cold from your body!" Ling Feng nodded.
Seeing that Li Shiyun was still hesitant after hearing this, he added, "Actually, if you think about it differently, you can turn your hatred into your appetite. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?"
Li Shiyun gave him a glare, sat down, and said, "Fine, you guys eat. I’ve lost my appetite!"
"What a waste. If you won’t eat, we will!" Ling Feng winked at Li Yumei.
At this moment, Li Shiyun was actually struggling inside. She had tasted exotic delicacies before, but this was her first time experiencing the great taste of snake meat, and after eating a few bites, she had felt her body warming up and a very comfortable sensation.
Watching Li Yumei and Ling Feng eating heartily, she gritted her teeth, picked up a piece of snake meat, and said, "Alright, I’ll eat too!"
Ling Feng and Li Yumei couldn’t help but laugh at her change of heart, but they were careful not to embarrass her, so they just kept their heads down and continued eating.
After the meal, Ling Feng patted his stomach contentedly. Seeing that there was still more than half a pot of snake meat left, he scooped it all out, making a large bowlful along with the white, thick soup.
He then turned to the two women, "Let’s divide this into two portions. You can take it home and eat it tomorrow, right?"
"What about you?" Li Yumei asked.
"I am a man, eating too much isn’t good, if I became effeminate, that would be troublesome!" Ling Feng said with a straight face.
Li Yumei burst into laughter, and Li Shiyun also couldn’t help but giggle, but she knew he was joking, so she nodded and said, "After eating it, my whole body feels comfortable, so I won’t stand on ceremony with you, please pack me a portion."
"Sure, if the Village Chief likes it, I will catch some more snakes for you in the future!" Ling Feng nodded.
Li Shiyun smiled, "We are all so familiar with each other, no need to call me Village Chief anymore, just Shiyun will do."
"That’s fine too." Ling Feng nodded, then remembered something, "Right, I forgot to give you your wallet last night, it’s here!"
"I guessed it was with you, I came over for that just now!" Li Shiyun said as she took it.
Watching them talk, Li Yumei felt somewhat confused and asked, "Shiyun, did you stay over here last night?"
"No!"
"Not at all!"
Ling Feng and Li Shiyun both denied it at the same time, but it had the opposite effect of looking like a cover-up!
Seeing this, Li Yumei’s lips curved up slightly but she didn’t ask further, as the child in the inner room woke up and started crying, so she quickly went in to hold the baby.
Ling Feng was quick-handed and had the snake meat packed up when Li Yumei also came out carrying the child.
"It’s getting late, let me take you guys home." Holding two servings of snake meat, Ling Feng said to the two women.
The trio left the house, first dropping off Li Shiyun at the village committee office, watched her enter the house, then Ling Feng turned to accompany Li Yumei home.
Walking along the road, he said, "By the way, Yumei, the money should be about all there by tomorrow, I’ll call them to repay the debt once I’m back, so you don’t need to worry anymore."
"So soon?"
Li Yumei was somewhat surprised and turned to look at him as she asked.
"Yeah, I’ve been lucky, caught quite a few pheasants these last few days and made some money!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Then, thank you so much, Brother Ling Feng, I will remember your kindness!" Li Yumei said with her head lowered.
Ling Feng shook his head, "No need for thanks, taking care of you and Huzi is what I ought to do!"
Talking like this, they had already reached her house.
Li Yumei took the snake meat from Ling Feng’s hand and stood there, not immediately entering the house and seeming to be hesitating about something.
Ling Feng noticed and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Brother Ling Feng, why don’t you stay over, stay over here tonight?"
Li Yumei’s face flushed and she spoke in a very low voice, her head bowed.
Asking a woman to say such a thing was truly too difficult, especially since she was naturally shy, and at that moment her face felt as hot as if it were on fire, burning hot.
Ling Feng was taken aback, not expecting her to say that, and though his heart was somewhat excited, and even a voice was shouting inside him, "Agree, stay over, there’s good stuff tonight!" he still shook his head, "No, I need to get up early tomorrow to go into the city, you should go back and rest early!"
After saying that he turned and left, leaving Li Yumei standing at the door, staring blankly!
"Doesn’t he like me?"
