The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1557 - 1556: Recruitment

The aroma of meat filled the air. After grilling, Ling Feng handed the skewers to the two women and also gave one to Little Li.

The three-tailed fox was quite clever; it took the skewer with its two paws and started eating just like a human, bite by bite.

Seeing everyone enjoying the food, Ling Feng was satisfied and casually picked one up to eat.

He had prepared a lot of meat, unafraid of running out, so Lin Yu and Chen Hong ate heartily.

Just as everyone was enjoying the delicacy, a head suddenly peeked out from the top of the cliff above the ravine!

This person had also smelled the aroma and couldn’t help but look over.

Seeing Ling Feng and the others eating the golden-brown skewers, the person’s mouth started to water.

Splat!

A drop of saliva fell from a height of over ten meters, hitting the bottom of the ravine.

Though it was just an insignificant drop, Ling Feng and Little Li noticed it simultaneously and looked up together.

The figure vanished in a flash, and the person quickly retracted their head.

But it was too late; in a flash, Ling Feng had already jumped up!

Seeing the person’s appearance, Ling Feng smiled and said, "I didn’t expect you to return so quickly!"

This was precisely the person previously captured on camera!

This person’s hair was very long, and it looked like it hadn’t been washed in a long time, all tangled, with a face that was dirty.

Only the eyes were relatively bright, and the gaze was still very lively.

Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, the person’s eyes flickered and then asked awkwardly, "Who are you?"

Glancing at the person’s tattered appearance, Ling Feng smiled and said, "I’m from the Security Bureau. Why are you living underground, and for how long?"

"Security Bureau?"

The person seemed not to understand, a look of confusion flashing in their eyes, and then asked, "What is that?"

"It’s responsible for national security, preventing anyone from causing trouble and harming the people!" said Ling Feng.

"Oh? You mean you’re from the government?" the person asked.

Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, then realized this person had been hiding underground for so long and wasn’t from modern times.

So he nodded and then asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I... I’m a craftsman."

"A craftsman?"

Ling Feng was stunned and quickly asked, "Are you the one who built the Moqu Kingdom’s King’s tomb?"

"Exactly!"

The person nodded and then asked, "What era is this now? It must have been a long time."

Ling Feng: "..."

He didn’t know what era the Moqu Kingdom was from, but the last professor had mentioned it was certainly ancient.

It seems this person has been living underground for more than a century, probably several centuries!

So Ling Feng didn’t answer his question but instead asked, "Why did you stay underground for so long and not come out?"

"I didn’t dare....."

The person lowered their head and said softly, "After the King’s tomb was built, all the craftsmen were killed inside. I managed to escape by luck, afraid that if I emerged, I’d be discovered and implicate my family..."

Ling Feng was speechless again, thinking that perhaps this person didn’t know they had lived for hundreds of years?

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Indeed, it’s been a very long time."

Then looking at the person’s eyes, Ling Feng seriously asked, "Having lived underground for so long, you’ve made it a home. Does this mean you no longer wish to live outside?"

"Yes!"

The person nodded, looking at Ling Feng, and said, "I can see you are impressive, but I don’t want to fight you. Please let me return."

"The underground world is dark and cold; outside, there’s sunshine and delicious food. Why not stay?" Ling Feng asked.

"I..."

The person lowered their head: "I am neither man nor ghost anymore; people outside will shun me."

"How could that be?"

Ling Feng laughed instantly, "Although it’s been a long time, if you take your time to adapt, you can fit in!"

This person’s strength was unfathomable, definitely beyond the Qi Refinement Realm. Conservatively, he had at least broken through Core Formation, possibly reaching the Nascent Soul Realm!

So Ling Feng had an ulterior motive, thinking it would be a huge waste not to recruit someone like this.

After speaking, Ling Feng then asked, "You smelled the aroma of the grilled meat just now, didn’t you? You must be longing for it, as it’s been long since you had cooked meat, right?"

"..."

The person remained silent, their body trembling slightly, evidently hit by Ling Feng’s words.

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly said, "How about this, meeting each other is destiny. I’ll treat you to some barbecue, and if after eating, you still wish to return, I won’t stop you."

"Great, great!"

Hearing this, the person suddenly became excited, raising their head with eyes filled with surprise.

Ling Feng chuckled, "Then let’s go!"

He turned around and jumped down.

As soon as he landed, he saw the person lightly floating down like a feather, gently descending.

This kind of movement was something Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu could perform, but their statuses were different, and their realms were extremely high, so they could naturally do it.

Yet this person was a standard human; achieving this was truly extraordinary!

Lin Yu and Chen Hong were a bit dumbfounded. When Ling Feng chased after, they wanted to follow but decided not to trouble him.

Now, seeing him bring the person back, the two girls were a bit confused.

"By the way, what’s your name?" Ling Feng asked.

The person’s eyes were locked on the skewers, swallowing before saying, "My name is Fu Hao."

"Alright, though you are much older than me, I’ll call you Brother Fu. Please have a seat!" Ling Feng smiled.

Fu Hao nodded and sat down at a slightly distant place.

Unfortunately, he knew he was quite messy, and considering there were two girls there, it might have been out of politeness or self-consciousness.

Ling Feng didn’t mind, knowing Fu Hao was hungry, so he quickly handed over two skewers of grilled meat, "Eat first, I have plenty. I’ll grill more for you later!"

"Thank you!"

Fu Hao didn’t say much, immediately devouring the skewers!

The way he gobbled it down made Chen Hong and Lin Yu’s eyes widen.

After a moment of silence, Chen Hong quietly asked, "What’s going on?"

Ling Feng was preparing a new round of barbecue, and upon hearing this, he glanced at her, "Don’t ask now, you’ll find out soon enough!"

"Alright."

Chen Hong rolled her eyes and stopped asking questions.

Fu Hao indeed had a great appetite. Even though Ling Feng was mentally prepared, he couldn’t have imagined Fu Hao would devour all the grilled meat in no time!

And since the new batch wasn’t ready, Ling Feng had to say, "Brother Fu, please wait a bit longer for these to be ready."

"Alright, thank you."

Fu Hao nodded and then asked, "How should I repay you for this meal?"
