Chapter 51

Huang Xiaolong started to get to work.

He set up the big pot under a tree, poured water into the pot, added the firewood under it, and started boiling the water.

“What’s this? Xiaolong, aren’t you going to prove Qinghan’s innocence? What are you doing?” Song Yuru looked puzzled.

While waiting for the water to boil, Huang Xiaolong ran over to Shu Qinghan. “Qinghan, I’m going to start the treatment now, and I’ll prove that you are innocent and pure. Are you willing to cooperate with me?”

Looking into Huang Xiaolong’s bright, clear eyes, Shu Qinghan nodded without any hesitation. “Xiaolong, I’ll cooperate with you.”

Just a moment ago, Huang Xiaolong confronted Leng Kai and the others and even made a bet, all to protect Shu Qinghan.

Shu Qinghan was not an ungrateful woman. She even went so far as to regard Huang Xiaolong as a trustworthy person.

“Qinghan, shortly you’ll have to suffer for a little bit, can you handle it?” Huang Xiaolong said seriously.

“Xiaolong, don’t worry, I’m not afraid of pain.” Shu Qinghan’s eyes were filled with determination. “As long as it can prove my innocence, I’m even willing to die!”

“Alright then, Qinghan, from now on, you’ll listen to what I say,” Huang Xiaolong said. “And I’ll prove your innocence.”

“Okay.” Shu Qinghan nodded.

“Come, get on my back,” Huang Xiaolong turned around suddenly and bent over slightly.

“Erk…” Shu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, but she obeyed Huang Xiaolong’s instructions.

“What the hell is happening?” Song Yuru could not understand what Huang Xiaolong was doing.

Leng Kai, Song Jian, and the others looked like they were watching a show.

Huang Xiaolong carried Shu Qinghan on his back and walked toward a big tree.

The broad shoulders gave Shu Qinghan a sense of reliability, security, and safety…

Huang Xiaolong drew closer to the tree with Shu Qinghan on his back, and using both his arms and legs, he actually… started to climb up the tree!

“What exactly is that dude doing?” Leng Kai was a bit impatient but curious at the same time. “Could he be… a lunatic?”

Huang Xiaolong carried Shu Qinghan up the tree, found a thick branch, and sat down.

“Qinghan, I’ll give you this…” Huang Xiaolong took out a bottle from the canvas bag that he always carried with him, and passed it over to Shu Qinghan who was still on his back.

Shu Qinghan took a look at it, “Erk… Arowana brand sesame oil?”

That was right, the item that Huang Xiaolong gave to Shu Qinghan was a bottle of sesame oil he bought from the farmhouse a while ago.

“Qinghan, drink the bottle of sesame oil. Finish the whole bottle, don’t leave even one drop.” Huang Xiaolong’s tone gave no room for argument.

What? Drink sesame oil?

“Drink… drink the whole bottle of sesame oil?” Shu Qinghan had never heard that sesame oil could be drunk like normal water.

Out of trust for Huang Xiaolong, Shu Qinghan only hesitated for a few seconds before she popped the cap open, gritted her teeth, and downed the entire bottle in a few big gulps.

Shu Qinghan immediately gagged several times and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands to prevent the sesame oil that was churning in her stomach from coming up.

On the ground, Song Yuru could not decide if Huang Xiaolong was actually treating Shu Qinghan’s condition, or just tricking her.

The next thing that happened was even more baffling than before!

From his canvas bag, Huang Xiaolong took out a crystal clear silk rope, and then… he tied up both of Shu Qinghan’s legs and hung her upside-down from the tree branch!

Shu Qinghan looked like a bat, with her legs up and her head down, hanging on the tree branch!

Her head was right above the big pot of boiling water.

After that, Huang Xiaolong said to Shu Qinghan, “Qinghan, bear with it for a while, it’ll be over soon.”

Huang Xiaolong jumped down nimbly from the tree after saying that.

“Xiaolong, what exactly are you doing? Getting Qinghan to drink a bottle of sesame oil and hanging her upside-down from the tree… her life might be in danger,” Song Yuru’s face was full of apprehension.

“Wifey, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m treating Qinghan’s condition, aren’t I?” Huang Xiaolong grinned.

On the other side, Leng Kai, Song Jian, and the rest were equally stumped.

“What is that fellow doing? Is he trying to give Qinghan an abortion?”

“Tsk, hanging a person upside-down from a tree like that, the fetus can’t be saved anymore.”

“Even the Shu family didn’t allow Shu Qinghan to get rid of the baby, so that she will give birth to the b*stard and they can find the biological father from it. This little farmer Huang Xiaolong actually dares to get rid of the fetus without their consent, this will be a direct insult to the Shu family.”

“Hehe, this is none of our business. However, from tomorrow onwards, this little farmer will have to go back to his grimy village and farm the land.”

For the time being, Huang Xiaolong ignored Shu Qinghan who was still hanging from the tree, and turned his attention to the boiling pot. He put condiments, spices, and a few special herbs into the pot, and very soon, a strange scent was produced.

“Wifey, use your phone to record a video. This video is going to prove Qinghan’s innocence,” Huang Xiaolong said mysteriously.

“Xiaolong, can you explain to me what’s going on first?” Song Yuru’s mind was almost in shambles.

“Wifey, you don’t have to learn about so many things. Just trust me, I’m not a reckless person.” Huang Xiaolong grinned.

Song Yuru had no choice but to take her phone out and started recording.

At this time, Huang Xiaolong threw several big roosters that had been cleaned and freshly plucked into the pot.

Okay, he was making a pot of chicken soup!

As the meat started to cook in the boiling pot, all the condiments, spices and herbs penetrated into the muscle fibers of the chicken.

“Huang Xiaolong, didn’t you promise to buy us roasted lambs? Why are you cooking chicken soup instead? Is this your way of saving money?” Song Jian jeered from the sidelines.

“You may not be aware of this, but the dish I’m making is very refreshing. Furthermore, the taste will be ten times more delicious than roasted lamb. You’re in for a treat today.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

Song Jian and the others laughed raucously.

Indeed, the chicken stewed for a while, and it started to produce a rich, mellow aroma.

This aroma not only contained the fragrance of chicken soup, but also a slight tinge of indescribable medicinal herbs. The scent lingered in the air, lasting persistently.

Gulp…

On the other side, Leng Kai, Song Jian, and the others could not stop their stomachs from rumbling after they got a whiff of the smell. They salivated subconsciously, gulping repeatedly, and their appetites were flaring.

“Tsk, tsk, the little farmer is better at cooking than I thought…” Fang Ruoyu squinted as she sniffed the smell of the chicken soup greedily. “Fragrant, it’s so fragrant, probably better than any chicken soup I’ve ever tasted in the past. There was also some herbal smell, could this be a tonic?”

While the chicken soup boiled, the steam from the pot rose upward, and Shu Qinghan’s head was directly facing the pot. As a result, the clouds of steam enveloped her head completely.

At this time, Shu Qinghan was extremely uncomfortable, but she clenched her teeth and said nothing, determined to pull through this ordeal.

Song Yuru watched the scene with tears in her eyes, as if she was experiencing it herself, but she did not forget to continue the video recording.

Several minutes passed.

Suddenly!

“Waa…”

Shu Qinghan, who still hung upside-down from the tree, finally could not bear it. Her mouth fell open and she started to gag, as if she could not tolerate the situation any longer.

All the people on the ground could not help looking up.

A weird scene happened!

A terrifying scene!

A scene that sent chills up people’s spines!

Shu Qinghan’s mouth was wide open, and she was vomiting, but what came out of her mouth was not food debris, but…

She spat out a flat snake head!!!

Yes, that was right, it was the head of a snake!

It was a king ratsnake!

The king ratsnake seemed to be mesmerized by that scent. Of course, snakes and chickens were natural enemies, and snakes loved to eat chickens.

“Waa… wawaaa…. Wwaaa…”

Shu Qinghan gagged continuously.

Due to the scales on the snake’s body, it might have hared Shu Qinghan’s throat when it slithered out. But Huang Xiaolong had made Shu Qinghan drink a bottle of sesame oil in advance, so Shu Qinghan’s throat and esophagus were well lubricated.

“Oh my! What the hell! Snake! It’s a snake!” Chen Shuangshuang was frightened out of her wits.

Fang Ruoyu, who had a phobia of snakes, immediately lost control of her bladder.

Next to the women, even the men like Leng Kai and Song Jian could not prevent the pins and needles tingling on their scalp.

In contrast, Song Yuru was not too afraid of snakes, and she had a vague understanding of the situation. While recording the video, she loudly exclaimed, “Qinghan’s stomach! Qinghan’s stomach is flattening! Her large tummy is becoming flat!”

Finally…

Plop!!!

A king ratsnake, about 2 meters in length, fell out from Shu Qinghan’s mouth. Almost like an Olympic diver, it fell directly into the boiling pot of soup below.

That very instant, the scent became more intense, so strong that it was almost a physical object. Anyone who got a whiff of that smell would experience a burning hunger, but at the same time, the smell was warm and nourishing, invigorating and refreshing.

This fragrance could be comparable to the legendary dragon liver and phoenix marrow!

At the same time, Shu Qinghan’s abdomen that seemed to be a few months’ pregnant just moments ago, now looked like a flattened balloon, completely flat, without even a trace of a bulge.

“It’s done! The dish I’ve prepared for you today is this secret recipe Dragon Phoenix Soup!” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.
