Just then, a barely perceptible white light flashed from Wang Xiaoqiang's fist. The white light had a metallic sheen, cold and deadly, like a fine bolt of lightning, carrying a fierce momentum, and vanished in an instant.
*Bang!*
With a dull thud, the tall and muscular body of Guo Biao was actually knocked backward by Wang Xiaoqiang's punch, landing heavily on the ground. Dust rose from the ground, and it was unclear whether it was the force of Wang Xiaoqiang's punch or the dust that made Guo Biao cough repeatedly, looking increasingly wretched.
Xia Gui Fang and her mother, who had been worried that Wang Xiaoqiang would be at a disadvantage, saw him knock Guo Biao to the ground with one punch and couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief. This time, Xia Gui Fang's mother did not come to help Guo Biao up.
Wang Xiaoqiang did not kick a man when he was down but only coldly said to Guo Biao, "Don't come and bother Xia Gui Fang again, or I won't spare you."
Guo Biao, lying on the ground, felt a sharp pain in his abdomen where Wang Xiaoqiang's punch had landed. In fact, Wang Xiaoqiang's punch wasn't particularly powerful. When it hit Guo Biao's abdomen, he felt as if he had been struck by an electric baton, a powerful shock force knocking him to the ground. After the numbness, came intense pain.
Guo Biao felt that Wang Xiaoqiang's punch was like removing the fire from under the pot, sapping all his strength. After a long while, Guo Biao, holding his stomach, stood up, covered in dust, looking wretched. He stared at Wang Xiaoqiang with a mix of surprise and suspicion, his gaze subconsciously turning to Wang Xiaoqiang's right hand.
He wanted to see what strange thing Wang Xiaoqiang had in his hand, but Wang Xiaoqiang's hand was empty. This made him even more suspicious, and he dared not continue to tangle with Wang Xiaoqiang. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Kid, you've got guts, we'll see about this..."
With that, Guo Biao picked up his motorcycle from the ground, got on it, and started the engine. He turned to Xia Gui Fang with a sinister smile, "Xia Gui Fang, you will be mine sooner or later... I'll have you for sure."
With that, he released the throttle, and the motorcycle sped away.
Xia Gui Fang watched Guo Biao's motorcycle disappear, her face pale with hatred.
Xia Gui Fang's mother glanced at her daughter and sighed heavily.
"If he dares to come and bother you again, I'll beat him up every time I see him."
Seeing the fear in Xia Gui Fang and her mother's eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang raised his fist and said confidently, "The white light that came from my fist just now, only I could see it. Only I know that it was the metal-type spiritual energy derived from the Five Elements Spirit Spring, cold and deadly. The metal-type spiritual energy is equivalent to the Geng Metal Qi in the Five Elements, which is used for killing. When used for attack, its power is immense. Knocking down Guo Biao just now is a good example."
Xia Gui Fang and her mother looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with surprise and joy. They never imagined that the usually weak-looking Wang Xiaoqiang could knock down the tall and strong Guo Biao with one punch.
It was as if they had found a pillar of support, and the way Xia Gui Fang and her mother looked at Wang Xiaoqiang was filled with reliance.
While Wang Xiaoqiang continued to water the fields for the Xia family, Aunt Big Mouth had already run to the village health station to enthusiastically recommend Wang Xiaoqiang to Xu Xiaoya.
Before enthusiastically recommending Wang Xiaoqiang, Aunt Big Mouth, following her usual matchmaking routine, first asked Xu Xiaoya about her situation: "Doctor Xu, may I ask, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Aunt Big Mouth, you didn't come today just to ask me this, did you?" Xu Xiaoya, sensing something unusual from Aunt Big Mouth's expression, asked in return.
"Uh, answer Aunt first!" Aunt Big Mouth said seriously.
"I don't have a boyfriend, so what..." Xu Xiaoya didn't answer honestly. In the city, she did have a boyfriend, but he was arranged by her parents, and she had never agreed to it. To avoid the man her parents had arranged for her, she had come to work as a village doctor at Sanmiao Village Health Station.
"No, no, that's good..." Aunt Big Mouth said excitedly, "Doctor Xu, I'll be straightforward. I came today to introduce you to a boyfriend..."
"Introduce a boyfriend..." Before Aunt Big Mouth could finish, Xu Xiaoya was already surprised, "Who is it?"
Aunt Big Mouth smiled but didn't answer directly, instead posing a question, "Doctor Xu, in Sanmiao Village, who do you think is the most outstanding young man?"
"Sanmiao Village..." Xu Xiaoya felt a bit disappointed when she heard Sanmiao Village. It wasn't that she was unwilling to marry a villager, but it was practically impossible, especially because her parents would never approve.
However, Xu Xiaoya was quite composed and didn't refuse outright because Aunt Big Mouth was introducing a villager. Instead, she said, "I haven't been in the village long, and I rarely visit, so I don't know many people. Among those I know, I think Wang Xiaoqiang is quite impressive..."
When Aunt Big Mouth heard this, she was almost delighted enough to clap her hands, but she didn't. She didn't directly reveal that the person she was introducing was Wang Xiaoqiang but said, "Yes, I also think Wang Xiaoqiang is good. Look, Wang Xiaoqiang was an excellent student, which shows he's smart. Although he dropped out of school, everyone knows it was because his parents were in a car accident, and he used up all their savings. He dropped out to avoid burdening his parents, which shows he's filial and sensible. Now, Wang Xiaoqiang has contracted over fifty acres of land, which shows he's not lazy and has ambition..."
Aunt Big Mouth listed Wang Xiaoqiang's good qualities, and Xu Xiaoya, finding that Aunt Big Mouth wasn't exaggerating, nodded repeatedly.
Aunt Big Mouth continued, "...Although the Wang family is poor, Wang Xiaoqiang's parents' legs have already been cured by him..."
"What?" Xu Xiaoya's pretty mouth opened in surprise, "You mean, Wang Xiaoqiang cured his parents' legs..."
"Yes," Aunt Big Mouth said earnestly.
"Aunt Big Mouth..." Xu Xiaoya's face showed a hint of a bitter smile, "Are you deliberately praising Wang Xiaoqiang? How could he know any medical skills? Besides, his parents' legs were severely injured and disabled. Could they be so easily cured?"
"Doctor Xu, what I'm saying is the truth. If you don't believe me, come with me to the Wang family and see for yourself..." Aunt Big Mouth said, reaching out to take Xu Xiaoya's hand.
Seeing Aunt Big Mouth say this, Xu Xiaoya believed her a bit and, holding Aunt Big Mouth's hand, asked in surprise, "Aunt Big Mouth, tell me, what method did Wang Xiaoqiang use to cure his parents' legs?"
"Massage, self-taught massage!"
"Massage..." Xu Xiaoya murmured, finding it hard to believe, "Massage is a form of physical therapy. Could it really cure paralyzed legs?"
Seeing that Xu Xiaoya still didn't believe her, Aunt Big Mouth pulled her again, "Come, come, I'll take you to see for yourself."
Xu Xiaoya pulled Aunt Big Mouth back, "Aunt Big Mouth, no need to go. I believe you."
"Uh, if you believe me, that's good. Doctor Xu, look, now that Wang Xiaoqiang has this massage skill, he will definitely have a bright future. His prospects are limitless..."
"Alright, Aunt Big Mouth, if you see Wang Xiaoqiang again, tell him to come and find me." Xu Xiaoya said, slightly blushing and lowering her head.
"Uh, uh..." Aunt Big Mouth, momentarily stunned by her joy, quickly recovered and said, "Doctor Xu, do you know who I'm introducing to you today?"
"Isn't it Wang Xiaoqiang?" Xu Xiaoya asked.
"Yes, yes, it's Wang Xiaoqiang," Aunt Big Mouth said, looking at Xu Xiaoya with admiration, "You educated people are smart, you understand things at a glance. Alright, I won't say more. You and Xiaoqiang should get to know each other better and deepen your understanding..."
