Chapter 20: A Bit Awkward-O Médico Rural Sedutor(Dominando o mundo)

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

"Let’s toast with tea instead of wine!" Chen Ya said happily, delighted to have found a distribution channel for Chen Dabao’s premium strawberries.

"Cheers!"

After drinking their tea, Huo Anni borrowed the printer at the Wuhu Restaurant to print the contract. Before signing, she took another look at the photos of the strawberry field on Chen Dabao’s phone. Only then did she sign the agreement.

"Brother Dabao, this is the address for the flagship store of Xianxian Fruit. We start supply tomorrow morning. You need to deliver the strawberries to the shop before nine. I’ll pay you for the first thousand catties in advance!" Huo Anni pointed to a section of the contract and added her phone number.

She then transferred thirty thousand yuan to Chen Ya and pulled out thirty thousand in cash from the restaurant to give to Chen Dabao.

"Thank you, Boss Huo!"

Holding the money, Chen Dabao finally felt a sense of security. In this day and age, even a hero can be defeated by a penny; without money in his pocket, even with the inherited memories of the Celestial Sage, he felt uneasy.

"Calling me 'Boss Huo' is so distant. Just call me Anni!" Huo Anni said affectionately.

"Sister Anni!"

"That’s more like it! From now on, Sister Anni will have your back!" Huo Anni declared boldly, patting her chest, causing her two towering mountains to bounce rhythmically.

Chen Dabao couldn't help but steal a glance before quickly averting his eyes, not daring to look further. The "tigers" beneath the mountain were truly becoming more ferocious.

With the money in hand, Chen Dabao planned to buy a second-hand motorcycle to facilitate his deliveries.

"Dabao, I have motorcycles here. If you don't mind, just take one!" Chen Ya led him to the backyard, where several motorcycles were parked, two of which looked quite expensive.

Zhang Wenqing used to love racing and was particularly fond of motorcycles; these were the ones he had left behind.

Huo Anni was secretly astonished. It seemed Chen Ya really felt something for Chen Dabao. In the past, Chen Ya had been unable to part with these bikes, as they reminded her of the past. Yet today, as soon as Chen Dabao mentioned it, she brought them all out—and she claimed she had no interest in him!

"Sister Ya, I’ll take this one. Name your price, and consider it sold to me," Chen Dabao said, picking the cheapest-looking motorcycle, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"These used bikes aren't worth much. We’re all friends here, so why talk about money? Just lend me a hand if I ever need help in the future," Chen Ya said, sensing his hesitation. She didn't force him to pick a more expensive one, had the staff fill the tank, and handed him the keys to the Yamaha.

"Sister Ya, don't worry, I’ll definitely help if you ever need me!" Chen Dabao promised solemnly before preparing to bid farewell to Li Zhuang and return to the village.

"Hiss!"

Just then, Huo Anni’s pretty face turned pale. She suddenly clutched her stomach, a flash of pain crossing her features.

"Anni, what's wrong?" Chen Ya asked, quickly supporting her with a look of concern.

"It’s nothing, just an old problem. It will pass in a moment," Huo Anni gritted her teeth, sitting down as Chen Ya helped her. She couldn't recover for a long while.

Chen Ya knew immediately that Huo Anni’s dysmenorrhea was acting up again. She had suffered from this for a long time, and despite trying various medicines and seeing many doctors, nothing had worked.

"Sister Anni, if I’m not mistaken, you’re suffering from menstrual pain, aren't you?" Chen Dabao said suddenly.

Having awakened the memories of the Celestial Sage—known as the "Master of Three Absolutes" for his unparalleled mastery of medicine, martial arts, and Taoism—Chen Dabao relied on the traditional diagnostic methods of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse. A quick glance was enough to confirm the diagnosis.

"How did you know?" Huo Anni looked surprised. Her condition wasn't a secret to friends, but this was the first time she had met Chen Dabao. How could he know? She glanced at Chen Ya suspiciously, wondering if she had told him.

Chen Ya rolled her eyes. Why would she tell him something so ridiculous?

"I understand Traditional Chinese Medicine. It relies on observation, and I can tell," Chen Dabao explained. "Your pain is likely caused by coldness in the uterus. Once that is treated, the pain will vanish without the need for further medication."

"Is that true? Can you cure it?" Huo Anni’s eyes lit up, but then she shook her head. Chen Dabao was just a strawberry farmer; how could he know medicine? At best, he was a barefoot doctor. She had been to several top-tier hospitals and seen countless experts, all to no avail. How could he possibly have a solution?

"I can cure it!" Chen Dabao nodded firmly.

"Really? Anni has seen many specialists at big hospitals, and none of them could fix it," Chen Ya said, half-doubting.

"Western medicine treats the symptoms, not the root cause. They just prescribe painkillers, which don't address the underlying issue. TCM treats both the symptoms and the root. It’s just slower to show results, and because there are so many frauds out there, trust has eroded, leading to the decline of TCM," Chen Dabao explained. "But that doesn't mean TCM is ineffective. A true master might not be able to raise the dead, but they can certainly bring someone back to health."

Seeing how confident he was, Huo Anni began to believe him. "Brother Dabao, then please, treat me!"

There was no harm in trying. If he really could cure her, it would be a huge relief.

"Sister Anni, let’s find an empty room. Lie down, and I’ll perform acupuncture," Chen Dabao said.

"Alright."

Huo Anni agreed. Chen Ya led them to her bedroom; she lived right there in the Wuhu Restaurant, with the first two floors for business and her office and bedroom on the third.

Chen Dabao went to a nearby clinic, bought a set of silver needles and alcohol, and returned. Upon entering the bedroom, he found Huo Anni already lying on the bed. However, the state she was in left him stunned.

"Dabao, stop staring and hurry up and treat her!" Chen Ya said, her tone sounding a bit strange as she noticed his dumbfounded expression.

"Oh!" Chen Dabao laughed awkwardly, rubbed his nose, and quickly sterilized the needles. He channeled the Celestial Divine Art, infusing strands of energy into the needles, and began to insert them into Huo Anni’s flat abdomen.

As each needle was placed, Huo Anni felt the pain subside. Not only did it fade, but a warm, pleasant sensation spread through her lower abdomen.

"Brother Dabao, it really doesn't hurt anymore! You actually do know medicine!" Huo Anni said, filled with pleasant surprise.

"Sister Anni, after I finish the acupuncture, I’ll write you a prescription. Follow it for one seven-day course, and your menstrual pain will be gone for good," Chen Dabao smiled.
