Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Itâs a Good Thing Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Itâs a Good Thing âSheâs just a bit of a bully,â she said.
Hu Xibing laughed.
He was actually quite curious and looking forward to seeing how Chiang Xiao would get along with Meng Xinian when she grew up.
âBrother Hu, havenât you entered the tea garden yet?â
âUncle Huo hasnât come yet; weâve been waiting for him. By the way, Uncle Huo is the owner of this tea garden. He asked me to come first and said he would arrive later. Come on, letâs go to his store for some tea. They have quite a selection of good teas here.â
Following Hu Xibing, Chiang Xiao had a lot of tea in the tea shop and listened to one of the shop attendants, an auntie, share quite a bit about tea. She was feeling dizzy from all the talk when someone outside called out in a weak and urgent voice, âQuick, find someone to help, Uncle Huo has fainted!â
What?
Hu Xibing stood up swiftly. The shop attendant, who was Uncle Huoâs distant cousin, also became very nervous after hearing this and immediately ran out, shouting toward the restaurant.
âSomeone come help!â
A car was parked by the side of the road, its rear door open, and a man around fifty was lying in the back seat.
Hu Xibing moved the fastest, striding over to check the color of the manâs face. He then picked him up. âWhere should we take him?â
The auntie said hurriedly, âHere, here, thereâs a bed.â
As it turned out, there was a small courtyard connected to the back of the tea shop. She led the way and opened a door, revealing a bamboo bed.
âXiao Hu, quick, put him down.â
Hu Xibing carefully laid Uncle Huo down as Chiang Xiao brought in a cup. Seeing that the auntie had hurried out again, saying she needed to look for some cool oil to rub on his temples, Chiang Xiao handed the cup to Hu Xibing and said, âBrother Hu, why donât you try feeding Uncle Huo some water and see if he can drink a bit?â
The water was Ganoderma water from her own water bottle.
It wasnât that Chiang Xiao was being generous, but after hearing Hu Xibing talk about Uncle Huo, she thought the old man must be a good person with upright character. Seeing him faint, she just wanted to help as much as she could.
Hu Xibing hadnât given it much thought and actually assumed she had just taken some water from outside the shop. He appreciated her thoughtfulness and took the cup, supporting Uncle Huo and carefully feeding him the water.
Uncle Huoâs complexion wasnât too bad, so Hu Xibing thought he must have fainted from a sudden fit of agitation.
He was still able to swallow reflexively.
After drinking three sips of Ganoderma water, Uncle Huoâs strength returned, and he opened his eyes. His first reaction was to lean towards the cup, indicating that he wanted to drink more water.
Hu Xibing quickly gave him another sip.
Uncle Huo smacked his lips and said with a sigh, âWhere did this Ganoderma water come from?â
Chiang Xiao was surprised, not expecting him to identify the taste immediately, but since she wasnât worried about the waterâs flavor being recognized, she remained calm.
Hu Xibing, on the other hand, was quite startled and looked at Chiang Xiao, honestly saying, âUncle Huo, this water was poured by Chiang Xiao.â
Uncle Huo looked at the young girl standing in front of the bed. As soon as he saw her big, bright, black eyes, he inwardly praised her spirit. Learning that the water was hers, a smile appeared on his face.
âIs she the girl from the same hometown you mentioned to me? Sheâs quite beautiful. Xiao Chiang, can I call you Xiao Chiang?â
âUncle Huo, of course, you can.â
âXiao Chiang, this Lingzhi of yours is extraordinary. Iâve also tasted several types of Ganoderma water, but none had the aromatic flavor like this one, a bitterness mixed with sweetness, it has to be quality stuff. Thank you very much.â
