The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 529 A Scare

When I came back, Wang Cai and Xiao Qiang were feasting on the octopus leg that had been chopped off earlier, and Ling Feng was stunned for a moment.

It’s been almost twenty-four hours. You guys really aren’t picky eaters!

Only when he came closer did he notice that, contrary to his belief that the meat would have spoiled by now due to the temperature, it hadn’t!

The flesh, still red and tender, looked as fresh as ever, which left Ling Feng dumbfounded.

"What’s going on?"

Scratching his head, Ling Feng couldn’t figure it out, but he felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.

If the meat doesn’t spoil, then it won’t go to waste, right?

Just wait a few more days for the packaging factory to be complete, and then all this can be taken back, cut up, and packaged—turned into money!

Just the thought of money made Ling Feng’s eyes shine brightly, and he smiled so widely that he couldn’t close his mouth.

After Wang Cai and the others had their fill, Ling Feng took them back outside, set the Gatling gun aside, and then stepped into the First Layer of Heaven.

As soon as he entered, he heard the sound of girls’ laughter. It was Li Fei’er and Qiao Anran playing with Ya Ya and the others.

The scene was filled with warmth, and Ling Feng walked over with a smile.

But when Qiao Anran turned her head and caught a glimpse of him, her eyes widened in shock, and she let out a cry before turning to run!

Upon hearing her, Li Fei’er looked back at Ling Feng, shivered, and then, after a more careful look, cautiously asked, "Uncle... Uncle?"

Ling Feng was speechless: "What’s wrong, don’t recognize me anymore?"

Recognizing his voice, Li Fei’er rolled her eyes: "Who could recognize you looking like that? What happened, did you go to Africa as a refugee?"

"What nonsense is that? Don’t talk rubbish!"

Ling Feng retorted with a laugh and stepped forward.

At this, Ya Ya pouted, nearly bursting into tears from fright!

Seeing this, Ling Feng quickly stopped in his tracks and hurriedly asked, "What’s the matter? What’s going on, Ya Ya, you don’t recognize me?"

Li Fei’er, realizing what was wrong, quickly replied, "Uncle, haven’t you noticed? Your face is all black and dirty like you’ve come out of a coal pit. Go wash your face and come back!"

"Really?"

Ling Feng touched his face, and when he looked at his fingers, he indeed noticed they were black!

Not sure what had happened, he quickly turned around and teleported back to his house.

After looking in the mirror, he discovered his face was covered in grime, with only his eyes and teeth remaining white!

"Damn, what’s this all about!"

Ling Feng was startled by his own appearance and hurried off to find water, splashing and washing vigorously. In a moment, the water in the basin had turned black!

Looking in the mirror again, he found his appearance had finally returned to normal, and Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Lin Xue walked in from the outside and, seeing him, paused before asking, "Why do you smell like gunpowder smoke?"

"Don’t even mention it. I just took down a giant octopus. It was quite the effort, and my face got all messed up in the process," Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.

Lin Xue, curious, asked, "What did you use to kill it?"

"A weapon Director Chen gave me. The Gatling!" Ling Feng chuckled proudly.

"What?"

Lin Xue was taken aback and then said, "He actually gave you that to keep?"

"Why, is the Gatling that valuable?" Ling Feng asked.

"It’s not about the money. That thing is Director Chen’s pride and joy, a treasure that he normally wouldn’t let others even touch!" Lin Xue explained.

Ling Feng scratched his head: "I didn’t realize it. He handed it over quite willingly. The thing is good, though, it’s just that after firing for a long time, my face turned all black!"

Lin Xue laughed: "You must have fired too many bullets then?"

"It might have been, killed an octopus with over three thousand bullets!" Ling Feng grumbled.

"That many!"

Despite being prepared for it, Lin Xue still got surprised, then immediately asked, "So did you get anything good from it?"

"Yes, this!"

Ling Feng reached out and took out the stone.

"What’s this?"

Lin Xue held it in her hands, thinking it looked quite nice.

Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "I don’t know either; there was no prompt. Maybe this thing is unique in this world, so it wasn’t included in the system?"

"Then what does it do?" Lin Xue continued to ask.

"Even more clueless about that. All I know is that it emitted a white light on the octopus’s head, but as for the principle behind it, I have no idea," said Ling Feng.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xue frowned and looked at him, "Why not take it to the bureau for analysis, do some experiments?"

"That..."

Ling Feng hesitated, then smiled and said, "Let’s forget about that, shall we? I’m afraid if I take it there, I might never get it back!"

Lin Xue covered her mouth and giggled, "That’s indeed a possibility!"

Ling Feng’s relationship with Chen Ping was that of both a teacher and a friend, and if the higher-ups really took a liking to this object, he would have no choice but to hand it over no matter how reluctant he was!

So, to prevent this, it’s better to keep it a secret for oneself!

There’s time to study it slowly; after all, there’s no rush.

After that conversation, Ling Feng seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Xue, asking, "Why have you come at this time?"

It wasn’t time to leave work yet, and she didn’t use teleportation to get into Nine Heavens; she drove here, so there must be some other reason.

As expected, Lin Xue smiled, "I didn’t come for you; I came for Feng Ling!"

"For her?"

Ling Feng was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Did the bureau arrange something?"

"No, she asked me to buy a few pieces of clothing, so I just delivered them on my way," Lin Xue answered.

Ling Feng gave an ’oh’ and said, "Speaking of which, I didn’t see her in the First Layer of Heaven just now. I’ll go with you to see how that girl is doing!"

"Sure."

Lin Xue had no objections, picked up the bag she had set on the ground earlier, and the two teleported to Nine Heavens together.

Li Fei’er saw Ling Feng return and immediately smiled, "Now things have finally calmed down, uncle, what did you do just now?"

"Don’t mention it, it was a small accident, nothing more. Where’s Feng Ling?" Ling Feng asked.

"She’s not playing with us; she went over to that walnut tree," Li Fei’er replied.

Upon hearing that, Ling Feng thought this girl definitely hadn’t adjusted yet; after all, her status was different. If she could easily mingle and play with Li Fei’er and the others, that would be too insensitive.

So he and Lin Xue went over to the walnut tree. Not seeing anyone around, they knew Feng Ling must have climbed up into the foliage.

Lin Xue called out, and after a rustling sound, Feng Ling came down from the tree.

"I bought all the clothes you asked for," Lin Xue said with a smile, handing over the bag in her hand.

Feng Ling didn’t even glance at Ling Feng, and said a faint thank you.

Seeing she was still wearing the clothes she came in, Ling Feng laughed, "Since you bought new ones, you should change into them quickly. The ones you’re wearing must be sweaty by now!"

Instead of responding, Feng Ling stayed silent, but Lin Xue poked him, "What are you talking about? The clothes are washed, and what I bought is underwear, how can she change here?"
