Chapter 1501 - 1501 Not Daring to Go Home
The Medical Guru
Everyone heard the praise of John Doe, the oldest.
They laughed happily. Although John Doe pulverized them, they had a good idea their strength had improved. With this speed of progress, they could soon get out of the ruins. They would follow Fang Qiu and face Wulin, Nirvana Organization, and the world!
âThe Lunar New Year is coming. You can go home and have a good rest for a few days. You have been staying outside for a long time. Itâs time for you to go back and see your family. Accompany your wives and children.â
With a smile, Fang Qiu told them.
These brothers nodded with a smile.
âHonestly, the oldest, we have longed to go back.â
He Gaoming stepped forward and said with a smile, âBut we have been waiting for you to come back and give a speech.â
âWe brothers all want to wait for you to come back. We want you to know it in case you canât find us when you come.â
When Fang Qiu heard thatâ¦
Touched, he looked at everyone and nodded.
âOh, I almost forgot about it.â
He Gaoming continued, âThe oldest is back. Then, letâs pack up and go home to celebrate the Lunar New Year. I bring the money weâve earned in the past year. Letâs split the money!â
Thenâ¦
He Gaoming went straight to the thatched cottage, took out a big suitcase, and opened it before everyone.
It was full of red, large bills.
Fang Qiu took a closer look.
With a wry smile, he asked, âCanât you transfer the money to their bank accounts?â
âHow tiring it would be.â
Immediately, He Gaoming shook his head and said, âBesides, sending the money to their accounts feels a little unreal. Itâs delightful to receive a large sum of cash. We brothers have been away from home for a year. Itâs happier to bring back a pile of large, red bills to home than a bank card!â
These brothers laughed out loud and nodded.
âWell, the money is just a small part of our bonus.â
He Gaoming added, âItâs the Lunar New Year. Returning with red, large bills is the most practical thing. After all, if I take out all your dividends, I donât think any of you can carry the money back. This way, we take out a small token bonus of 100,000 yuan. Iâll transfer the rest to your bank cards.â
âBrothers, share the money!â
He Gaoming laughed and shouted. Then he reached out to take the money out of the suitcase. Each brother got ten stacks of cash and a backpack to keep the money in.
Everyone had a great time sharing the money.
Hereâ¦
Fang Qiu looked toward Sword Fanatic.
âBig brother.â
Fang Qiu asked, âAre you going home for the Lunar New Year, too?â
âNope.â
Sword Fanatic shook his head and said, âI had no home long ago. Itâs good for them all if I donât go back. When I return, they will have to change their lifestyle and life pace.â
âThen, go back with me and spend the Lunar New Year at my home.â
Fang Qiu invited.
âNo need for that.â
Sword Fanatic shook his head with a smile and said, âThatâs a waste of my time. Iâd better stay here and spend more time studying my swordsmanship.â
Fang Qiu looked at Sword Fanatic.
A well-satisfied smile spread over his face. Fang Qiu didnât know what his family condition was. However, he seemed no longer tied down by his family. Like the elder living in the woods Fang Qiu met earlier, he had achieved a high spiritual state.
Fang Qiu had not reached that level yet.
Howeverâ¦
He could understand his choice.
When these brothers shared the moneyâ¦
Fang Qiu watched his brothers go away one by one. Then, only Sword Fanatic was with him.
âGo ahead.â
Sword Fanatic waved his hand.
Fang Qiu nodded. Under Sword Fanaticâs gaze, he left the relic and booked an air ticket home.
Linxi Countyâ¦
Fang Qiu had been living here for decades since he was little. But now, he could only come back once or twice a year!
He got off the train at the local station.
Soon, Fang Qiu got in the car he booked in advance with his mobile phone, heading for home.
Without doubtâ¦
Fang Qiu wore a hat and pulled his hat down firmly over his ears.
After all, he was going home. He couldnât disguise himself so heavily that even his parents couldnât recognize him.
As he got in the car, Fang Qiu lowered his head and concentrated on his phone. The driver didnât say anything more after confirming his destination.
Obviously, he didnât recognize Fang Qiu.
After a whileâ¦
âHey, is there any activity here? Why are there so many people?â
Getting close to Fang Qiuâs home, the driver asked in surprise.
Fang Qiu took a closer look.
âOh, crap.
âNot an activity. These people block the doorway before my home.â
Fang Qiu hurriedly got out of the car.
Then, after the car he hired left, he lowered his head and pulled his hat down to hide his face. Pulling his suitcase, he quietly walked toward the large group before his house.
As he walked, he muttered, âI must make a back door. Otherwise, this will be a real headache for me every year.â
Soon afterâ¦
He walked to the front door.
Fang Qiu never looked up. He pushed his way through the crowd, trying to enter the yard.
Just thenâ¦
âEh?â
Suddenly, a hand reached out and took off Fang Qiuâs hat.
This timeâ¦
Fang Qiu was dumbfounded.
He quickly turned his head and saw a young man staring at him. Well, the others did not notice his arrival â they were still talking loudly to his parents in the yard.
âShh!â
Fang Qiu quickly gestured for the man taking off his hat to keep quiet, hoping he would hush up his presence.
Howeverâ¦
âFang Qiu.â
The young man was suddenly overjoyed. Immediately, he pointed at Fang Qiu and shouted excitedly, âYouâre Fang Qiu.â
His voice traveled fast.
Everyone at the scene instantly quieted down and turned around.
When all of them saw Fang Qiuâ¦
The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
Instantlyâ¦
Fang Qiu, utterly stunned, couldnât even make a wry smile.
âFang Qiu indeed!â
âHeâs so handsome, much more attractive than his image on TV.â
âHe has made a name for himself at such a young age. Awesome.â
âHe is the miracle-working doctor, Doctor Fang, a world-famous miracle-working doctor. He is amazing!â
âI see the miracle-working doctor, Doctor Fang.â
âFang Qiu is right before me. Is Fang Qiu before me the real one?â
For a time, Fang Qiu heard all kinds of compliments and many excited words.
Over thereâ¦
Fang Qiuâs parents also saw him.
âHey, my son is back.â
Fang Qiuâs mother quickly went up to him with a smile. While elbowing her way through the crowd, she said, âExcuse me, please let me through. Let my son go home. If you have anything to say, say it when he gets home!â
Everyone heard that.
They felt too embarrassed to stop his mother because they were here to see Fang Qiu. They could only try their best to part and make way for her.
It took them a lot of effort to make a small path for Fang Qiuâs mother. She grabbed her sonâs hand, pulled him out of the crowd, and took him home.
As it turned outâ¦
Everyone followed them into the living room.
This time, Fang Qiu was utterly dumbfounded. He didnât expect these people to follow him to the living room.
âFang Qiu, youâre finally back. Iâve been waiting for you here for several days.â
âThatâs right. Itâs almost the Lunar New Year. Why didnât you come back earlier? Weâve waited for you for a long time.â
âWe have made a lot of work to wait for you to return.â
âYes. We knew you would come back for the Lunar New Year, so everyone came here to get you. Now it proves we are right to expect this: you are back for the Lunar New Year. Itâs so great!â
âSince youâre back, why donât you give me a checkup?â
âExamine me. I also want a check-up.â
âMy feet have been in pain for a long time since the military training. Please take a look at them.â
For a time, men and women, old and young, all gathered around and clamored for Fang Qiu to treat them.
This timeâ¦
Fang Qiu finally understood.
It turned out that these people specially came to see him. In passing, they wanted Fang Qiu to treat them.
Fang Qiu didnât know most people here, but since they had come here, it was inappropriate for Fang Qiu to turn them down. Therefore, he could only try to reduce the impact as much as possible.
âOkay. All right.â
When others all started talking at once, Fang Qiu quickly stood up and waved his hand, signaling them not to speak.
When everyone quieted down⦠n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fang Qiu lowered his voice and said, âListen to me, everyone. From tomorrow on, Iâll accept patients for three days, but thereâs a limit to the number of patients I can see: 100 people. If you want to let me check and treat you, donât spread the news that Iâve come back. Otherwise, you may lose the chance to line up and see me!â
Everyone heard this.
They immediately understood his meaning.
âYes, of course. I wonât reveal the secret no matter what.â
A middle-aged woman said happily, âThen Iâve made an appointment with you tomorrow morning. Iâll be the first one to get here.â
The others echoed one after another.
âAlright then.â
Fang Qiu nodded satisfactorily and said, âThen please go back now. More people will come if you crowd at my home for a few days. At that time, itâs hard to say if you can get the treatment.â
Everyone heard this.
Only then did they realize what he meant.
Since Fang Qiu was exceedingly famous, all the people in the county must know this was his home. If others passed by and saw Fang Qiuâs bustling home, they would know Fang Qiu had returned. At that time, everyone would run over to see Fang Qiu. How could Fang Qiu treat them with so many people coming?
With this in mindâ¦
Everyone decided to leave.
While smiling, they said goodbye to Fang Qiu and his parents. Afterward, they left one after another.
When all of them were out of his homeâ¦
Fang Qiu lay on the sofa with a wry smile and said to his parents, âWell, I wonât dare to go home in the future. How about we buy a big house?â
âWhat? You donât dare to go home?â
Fang Qiuâs father pulled a long face and said, âI donât mean to criticize you, but one must not forget his origin. We should help each other. They have come to our doors. Whatâs wrong with helping them? Do you think itâs troublesome?â
âDad, thatâs not what I meant.â
Fang Qiu smiled apologetically and hastened to explain, âIâm doing this for you and Mom. Think about it. With so many people here, you would stay busy all day and couldnât receive all our guests. I came back because I wanted to celebrate the Lunar New Year with you and accompany you for a few days. How could I keep you busy?â
âThatâs right.â
Fang Qiuâs mother immediately echoed to speak for her son. âItâs not easy for our son to come back. Canât you say something nice?
âSon, butâ¦
âThese people are all our neighbors. You have to take care of them if you can. After all, they are all acquaintances.â
