Chapter 22: Influenza, Sending Persimmons to the Villagers

express.These elderly folks stayed in the village just so they could grow some vegetables to eat. Now that it's finally time to harvest, it seems their years of perseverance have paid off.Let's go, le...Yang Fan left, and Grandma Xu held the phone that hadn't been hung up yet, anxiously asking Li Kangping what had happened.

She only half-understood what she had just heard, only knowing that someone wanted to harm her grandson.

Li Kangping told him over the phone about meeting Yang Fan that day, how she had given him a fortune telling session, and recounted his recent experiences.

Grandma Xu first felt pity for her grandson being caught in this unjust calamity. Then, she was astonished that Yang Fan could actually tell fortunes.

Yang Fan always said that he could calculate, but he still had to rely on selling things on the street to make money. She always thought he was joking, but it turned out to be true.

Grandma Xu thought about the talisman for peace of mind from yesterday again. She and Li Kangping talked about Yang Fan giving them the talisman for peace of mind.

"Li Kangping, across from her, was very envious. "Grandma, please remind Yang Fan about the protective amulet, don't let her forget," he said.

Don't worry, Yang Fan definitely won't forget.

Grandma Xu reminded him, "People gave you a talisman, don't forget to pay them!"

"Don't worry, I know."

A true master's seal is invaluable; he understands this.

"Grandma is fine, I'll hang up first."

"Okay."

Grandma Xu hung up the phone and thought to herself that the peace talisman at home must be quite expensive. When her husband got back, she would discuss with him how much money to give Yang Fan.

She suddenly remembered that Yang Fan said yesterday that she would be able to hold her grandson by the end of the year.

Grandma Xu was so overjoyed that she didn't know what to do! She would be able to hold her grandson by the end of the year!

All the other families in the village had already told their relatives who worked in the city that they had planted edible vegetables in their fields, and every household was filled with joy.

Yang Fan was very quick and soon picked half a basket of loquats. The most common trees on the mountain were loquat trees, with golden, large and round fruit.

She picked and ate as she went, picking from a loquat tree one by one until her basket was full.

Just as she was about to leave with her basket on her back, she suddenly heard rustling footsteps coming from the woods. Could there still be some fearless animals out there trying to steal her fruit

Yang Fan turned and looked toward the sound, only to see a white blur quickly disappearing into the woods, running towards the deepest part of the mountain.

I saw that white thing again, what on earth is it

Yang Fan was a little curious about what this white thing was. She thought to herself, "I'll catch it another day and see what it is."

She carried a full knapsack of loquats home, and deep in the woods, a pair of blue eyes watched Yang Fan leave. Seeing her go, it let out a sigh of relief, scaring Tiger to death. It almost got discovered by humans.

Looking at the fruits hanging on the trees, imbued with spiritual energy, his blue eyes brimmed with longing.

It wants to eat these things, but this human is so scary, they won't let them eat!

Now that Yang Fan was gone, it quietly and carefully scurried back into the ground.

Yang Fan, carrying a basket of loquats, first went to each elderly household in the village and delivered some.

Now there are only six families left living in the village. They are Grandma Xu and Grandpa Li's family, as well as Grandma Yang, Grandma Zhou, Aunt Zhang, another Mr. Zhang's family, and finally, Village Chief Li Wenlin's family.

However, only the village head, Li Wenlin, and his wife live here. But the couple mostly lives in town.

All the elderly in the family have been taken to the city to live, and the children are all studying and working in the city.

Li Wenlin is the village head, and her daughter-in-law Ge Junya is the director of the town hospital.

Yesterday Li Wenlin went to the city. Ge Junya has been sick and taking leave at home these past few days.

When Yang Fan arrived at her house, Ge Junya was sunbathing in the yard.

"Auntie, good morning," Yang Fan walked up to her and greeted her.

Ge Junya looked for several seconds before she recognized her, "Yang Fan"

Her voice was hoarse, so small it was almost nonexistent.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he started coughing violently, “cough cough cough…”

That posture, as if he were about to cough up his lungs.

She coughed and waved her hand at Yang Fan, signaling him to keep his distance.

She caught the flu and it's contagious.

Yang Fan frowned slightly, stepped forward and gently patted her back to soothe her.

"You...cough cough...stay...cough cough...away...cough cough..."

Be quiet.

Yang Fan used his spiritual energy to pat her back, smoothing her breath. Soon, Ge Junya's coughing fit subsided.

She lay slumped in the chair, utterly drained. Her face was flushed an unnatural red, and she gasped for breath heavily.

Yang Fan put down his basket and took out a persimmon, peeling it and offering it to her. "Have a persimmon to relieve your discomfort."

Loquats already have the effect of nourishing the lungs and stopping cough, and loquats with spiritual energy are even more effective.

Have some of this loquat, you don't need medicine, a cold can get better on its own.

Ge Junya weakly waved her hand, indicating that she wouldn't eat.

She saw that she came down from the mountain, the loquats in the village were terrible.

"Eat one, this loquat is delicious and good for your body."

Yang Fan directly shoved the loquat into her mouth.

"......"

She stared at Yang Fan in disbelief.

She's an elder! How can someone be so rude to her!

Yang Fan stared blankly and said, “Eat!”

If you're going to eat, then what are you being so aggressive about

Ge Junya subconsciously took a bite of the loquat. She was prepared to spit it out, but the sweet and delicious taste in her mouth made her stunned.

This loquat... is so delicious!

Without Yang Fan needing to say another word, she directly ate the whole loquat, spitting out the pit on the ground.

Yang Fan retracted his hand and grabbed several more loquats to give to Ge Junya, "These loquats are good for your health, aunt. You can eat more if you're sick."

Ge Junya took the loquat and exclaimed, "Is this loquat from your home"

Although the voice was soft and hoarse, Yang Fan heard it very clearly.

"Well, it's from my family's land," Yang Fan said, "I've picked some ripe ones for you to try."

Ge Junya peeled and ate a persimmon for herself. Originally, her throat was so dry that eating anything felt like it was being cut by a small knife, but this persimmon was juicy and tender, and swallowing even a little bit didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

After eating two, I actually felt my throat was more comfortable.

"Your loquats are really delicious," she said.

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Eat more of this loquat and you'll be well soon."

Cathy: Fruit isn't medicine, how could eating a few more make you better

Although loquats can indeed have a soothing effect on the lungs and stop coughing, and these loquats are truly delicious, better than any she's had in the past few decades.

She ate two more loquats.

"Aunt, do you have a basket at home I'll fill it for you." Yang Fan said.

"Yes, just a moment please."

Ge Junya got up and went into the house to get a small transparent basin.

Yang Fan filled a basket full for her and continued to carry it on his back to deliver to other homes, "Auntie, I'll be going now. If you like to eat, come get some at my place."

"Good, thank you. Take it slow."

"Well, I'm off. Get some rest."

As Yang Fan walked away, Ge Junya brought over a chair and placed the small pot of loquat by the side. She basked in the sun while eating the loquats.

This loquat is really delicious!n walked out, and only saw a flash of white passing by. In the yard, besides the fruits and snake she had placed there, there was nothing else.That little thing still wants to sneak a bite.She glance...
