"Doctor Cheng, we have a type of wine fruit here that grows deep in the mountains. When it ripens, it emits a wine fragrance," said Old Man Zhao, pouring wine for Cheng Xiaofan with great enthusiasm. "Our people, every autumn, go into the deep mountains to gather these fruits, bring them back to make wine, and store them in cellars for a winter. By spring next year, we can enjoy good wine!"
"Good wine, excellent, this wine is good!" Cheng Xiaofan took a sip and praised repeatedly.
Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's praise, Old Man Zhao's face lit up with joy. "It makes this old man so happy to receive praise from Doctor Cheng."
After lunch.
Cheng Xiaofan felt he had nothing to do in the afternoon. He said to the people at the table, "I'm free this afternoon. If there are any villagers with ailments in this village, you can gather them here, and I will treat them for free!"
"Good, good, good, we'll go gather them right away!" It was rare to encounter such a divine doctor, so the people immediately went to notify the villagers.
Before long, a crowd of villagers gathered in front of Old Man Zhao's house. Cheng Xiaofan had them line up, set up a table in front of the door, and sat on a stool, taking out his Shennong Needles to perform acupuncture on each of them.
Everyone who received acupuncture from Cheng Xiaofan felt refreshed, and the chronic pain that had plagued them for years disappeared instantly.
"This is truly a divine doctor!"
"My lower back pain has bothered me for so many years, and I've seen many doctors without success. I never thought that after a few needles from Doctor Cheng, it would be completely cured."
"Oh, my back pain from childbirth has also been cured."
"Haha, my old, crippled legs of many years have also been treated. Truly a divine doctor!"
Cheng Xiaofan worked busily all afternoon, finally curing all the villagers' various difficult illnesses. The villagers wanted to pay consultation fees, but Cheng Xiaofan refused them all. After all, someone from the Han family would send money tomorrow, so he wasn't worried about lacking funds.
As the sun began to set.
The villagers collectively decided to hold a welcoming banquet for Cheng Xiaofan. Such a divine doctor was truly wonderful. In the eyes of the villagers, Cheng Xiaofan had lost his memory and suddenly appeared in Xinghua Village, then cured so many villagers of their difficult illnesses. This was clearly a divine envoy sent from heaven!
The villagers were busy slaughtering pigs and sheep, making the occasion even more lively than the New Year. In front of Old Man Zhao's house, more than twenty tables were set up. Every table was piled high with food. The villagers brought out all the homemade wine they had. The lively atmosphere reminded Cheng Xiaofan of the grand feasts held in Zhuxi Village on several occasions. Although they were on different planets, the scenes were the same.
The village chief, over seventy years old, raised his wine cup and said to Cheng Xiaofan, "Doctor Cheng, thank you for saving Miss Yazhi and for curing so many villagers' difficult illnesses in Xinghua Village. This cup of wine is a small token of my gratitude and only represents my sincerity!" With that, he brought the cup to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
The village chief's hearty demeanor reminded Cheng Xiaofan of Luo Changsheng.
"Thank you, Village Chief!" Cheng Xiaofan did not refuse and drained his cup in one gulp.
After several rounds of drinks.
A bright moon climbed from the eastern horizon. Instantly, the surroundings became as bright as day. Cheng Xiaofan looked up at the moon and was startled. The moon appeared larger than the winnowing baskets commonly used in the countryside. He had never seen such a large moon in his life.
"What a big moon!" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but exclaim.
Everyone present knew that Cheng Xiaofan had lost his memory, so it was not surprising that he would be so amazed by such a common sight.
The village chief smiled and said, "Doctor Cheng, this is Chang'e Moon. Legend has it that a fairy named Chang'e lives within it!"
"Oh!" Cheng Xiaofan replied, his brow furrowed slightly. As an Earthling, almost everyone knew the story of Chang'e flying to the moon. In his childhood, Cheng Xiaofan often heard elders say that Chang'e lived on the moon, accompanied by an old man named Wu Gang. But that was just a legend. Several human moon landings had found no life on the moon at all. Suddenly, Cheng Xiaofan had a conjecture: in the prehistoric era of Earth, there were two moons in the sky. The current Yanhuang Planet had actually separated from Earth in prehistoric times. At the same time, when the Yanhuang Planet separated from Earth, it also took away another moon. The legends of Chang'e were actually memories left to humanity from prehistoric times. Just like Emperor Shennong, who was originally a prehistoric being but became a recorded figure in ancient times in many legends.
"Doctor Cheng, in fact, the Chang'e in the moon once visited our planet! Unfortunately, for some reason, the specific truth of this matter has been sealed by the higher authorities," the village chief added, noticing Cheng Xiaofan staring blankly at the moon in the sky.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded in understanding. The interaction between fairies and humans was too bizarre, and it was normal for it to be sealed by the higher authorities. If this happened on Earth, it would also be sealed.
"Has any human ever landed on the moon?" Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously.
The village chief chuckled. "On our planet, many people have indeed tried to land on the moon, but none have succeeded."
"Why?" Cheng Xiaofan asked curiously.
The village chief smiled and said, "It is said that there is a special atmosphere around the moon that prevents all flying vehicles from entering. Two people once piloted flying vehicles and attempted to force their way through, resulting in a massive explosion of their vehicles and their deaths."
This made Cheng Xiaofan think of the cosmic wall and the Yanhuang Sword of the Cosmos that he kept in his space. He thought that when he found his other self, he would go to the moon to see.
"Doctor Cheng, I'll toast you!" At this moment, Zhao Yazhi specially walked up to Cheng Xiaofan, raised her wine cup, and said to him with affectionate eyes. Seeing the look in her eyes, Cheng Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. This was bad! He had saved her life; would she try to repay him with herself?
"Miss Yazhi, thank you!" Cheng Xiaofan replied.
Zhao Yazhi said with charming eyes, "Doctor Cheng, it is I who should be thanking you!" "I'm counting on Doctor Cheng to handle the matter with the Han family tomorrow!" It was clear that Old Man Zhao had told Zhao Yazhi about his intention to resolve the Han family issue. Cheng Xiaofan drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, patted his chest, and said loudly in a heroic tone, "Beautiful Yazhi, rest assured, leave the Han family matter to me!"
Upon hearing the Han family, everyone present fell silent. They had just remembered that Han Fei had sent people to deliver a notice to the Zhao family. After a while, the village chief said, "Doctor Cheng, Yazhi is a good girl. If she marries into the Han family, it would be like sending her into the mouth of a wolf. However, the Han family is a cultivation family, and Han Fei has an uncle with great influence in the provincial city, so they are not people to be offended lightly. You must think carefully before acting!"
