Chapter 679 Sincerity

Smart, sensing that something was terribly wrong, instinctively reached into his pants to check. His face froze in shock, as if struck by lightning. Pointing a trembling finger at Danny, Smart angrily accused, "Country boy, what did you do to me?"

Danny spread his hands and responded cheerfully, "Do something to you? I didn't do a thing!"

"It was you... you tricked me! You told me to slide down the tree with my legs! Now look what happened, you owe me!"

Smart was frantic.

"Owe you? For what? What do you want? Are you suggesting I replace you a new little worm? I'm not sure there are any around here the same size as your... equipment."

Danny pointed to an old pine tree nearby, still smiling, "There's plenty of worms underneath this tree. Dig as many as you want."

"Why would I need worms?" asked Smart.

"Aren't you asking for compensation? Two small worms would be thicker than one. Just eat fifty potatoes from under this old pine tree and your little friend will grow as thick as two worms."

Danny was serious, no tricks involved, but Smart never trusted him.

"So, are you messing with me? Am I being played?" Smart questioned suspiciously.

"Why would I play you? Your little worm isn't much to boast about. Do you really think you're worth my time?"

Danny, hands in pockets, spoke

indifferently, "Anyway, I've told you the solution. Don't forget, I'm a doctor. If you don't listen to the doctor's advice and it doesn't grow, that's on you."

"You're no doctor! You're just a quack! You don't even have a license. If I listened to you, that'd make me a fool!"

While Smart verbally dismissed the idea, his actions betrayed his true feelings. In no time, he crouched by the pine tree root, scraping at the soil with a stick.

"Smarty, let me remind you, you need to be sincere. Using a stick shows a lack of sincerity," Danny advised genuinely, with no malice intended. "What counts as being sincere?" Smart asked.

"Use your hands! If you're truly sincere, you can't rely on any tools. You must dig with your fingertips, little by little. Only the worms dug up with your own fingers will have the healing effect you need."

Upon hearing this, Smart promptly tossed aside the stick and began devoutly to dig with his hands, focused on preserving his manly pride.

As Smart earnestly dug, Danny looked on with amusement, hands still in his pockets. Suddenly, Belle sidled up to them.

"Country boy, how big is your... worm?" she asked blatantly.

Startled by her bold question, Danny

teased, "Belle, if you're that curious, you could always replace a chance to check it out yourself! Besides haven't you already seen it?

Her face flushed with embarrassment, Belle quickly denied it, "Seen it? How could I possibly have seen your... worm!"
