Chapter 110 Departure
Dr. Lei yawned. These past few days had been more hectic than the last few years, rescuing people and navigating dangerous situations. He never imagined his life would be this thrilling. But he figured it would end here; things should calm down from now on. If this continued, he'd really start to wonder if he'd gotten himself into trouble with some evil spirit.
Dr. Lei went to Lin Fan's room for his routine check-up. For some reason, his younger brother's body was much stronger than that of an ordinary person, and his recovery speed was extremely fast. He would probably be fine today.
Dr. Lei pushed open the door and saw Lin Fan twitching in a pool of blood on the floor. As soon as he saw Dr. Lei, he struggled to reach out his bloody hand to him, crying, "Doctor, save me!"
Lin Fan's eyelids twitched in pain.
Dr. Lei's eyelids were twitching. He really wanted to close the door and leave. He was a doctor, not a wet nurse, and couldn't do the work of a pastor.
An hour later, Lin Fan, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, smiled and said to Doctor Lei, "Master, it's done!"
Dr. Lei sat there, panting heavily as if he had just survived a major battle. "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, thank you very much, doctor. What place will I be in this time?"
"Huh?" Doctor Lei was taken aback, and immediately showed a pained expression. "In terms of external injuries alone, this is the most serious, but there aren't many internal injuries this time. Let's rank it third."
"It's alright, it's alright," Lin Fan replied with a sense of relief.
Dr. Lei's lips turned white, and he couldn't speak. He glared at Lin Fan.
"What do you mean 'good'? They were just saved yesterday, and they're already like this today. I don't even want to think about what will happen next time. If this continues, Dr. Lei has no doubt that he'll soon be trained into a surgical genius."
"Doctor, do you remember the Taoist nun from Linglong Temple who told me about before?"
Doctor Lei asked in confusion, "What? Do you and her have a past relationship?"
Lin Fan nodded. "I only remembered that she had helped me when I was sorting through her belongings. I should go to her grave to pay my respects."
Dr. Lei naturally assumed the belongings were those of Lin Fan's mother and, without much thought, immediately agreed, "It's no big deal. I'll ask someone to inquire right away. But I guess it's probably near Baishi County. Because Liu Feng is currently under lockdown in the county and surrounding areas, only allowing people to leave but not enter, so it might be inconvenient."
Lin Fan nodded and said, "That's fine too."
Not long after, Lin Yue'er arrived. Seeing Lin Fan like this, tears streamed down her face. Lin Fan comforted her for a while before she stopped.
The next day, Lin Fan was able to get out of bed again, and he continued packing his things.
There were several robes sewn by the Xuanmen disciples with exquisite beads, and several notebooks she left behind.
These notes record all sorts of things she heard from her four masters, including all sorts of strange and bizarre events, as well as some knowledge about incantations and esoteric practices.
Lin Fan planned to take a good look at what was in there for reference, as he couldn't trust it completely. It wasn't that he didn't trust Miaozhuzi, but it was hard to say how much of what her four masters, including Wanshou, said was exaggerated.
Among her mother's belongings was a half-finished dress, which Lin Yue'er finished sewing in the past few days, as usual, sewing a small crescent moon in an inconspicuous corner.
In addition, Ruyi Jinli is still with Niu Dadan, temporarily lent to him, with the agreement that it will be returned when they part ways.
Lin Fan also picked up an antique bronze incense burner from County Magistrate Lin. The incense burner was small and fit perfectly in his hand. It was simple yet exquisite, and clearly not an ordinary item, so Lin Fan took it. He studied it for a while, but still didn't know what it was for.
"We've spent quite a bit of money, so we need to be more careful with our spending in the future. It should be enough for Kunlun. Hmm, with just the two of us, will it be a bit tight?"
Lin Fan took inventory of all his belongings.
Lin Yue'er also came that day. The two didn't talk about anything important. Lin Fan told her some stories about the real world, which Lin Yue'er found very interesting, and she kept laughing.
On the third day, Lin Fan went to his mother's grave to say goodbye, and then went to the sycamore tree to say goodbye again.
Miao Zhuzi's tomb is outside the county town, and is only occasionally patrolled by militia. Lin Fan went there wearing a concealment cloth and said a simple goodbye.
Because Lin Fan had given prior notice, Lin Yue'er prepared the ingredients that evening. Today, she brought four dishes and a soup, a particularly lavish meal.
The two chatted as they ate, making no mention of leaving. Lin Fan mainly bragged about his experiences in the real world, but Lin Yue'er loved listening to him.
It wasn't until Lin Yue'er was about to go home that Lin Fan said, "If you come tomorrow at dawn, we'll go together. You don't need to bring anything."
Lin Yue'er gave a soft reassurance, then suddenly turned and threw herself into Lin Fan's arms, sobbing softly.
Lin Fan didn't know what to say, so he gently patted her back to comfort her...
The day of departure was at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).
Lin Fan, wearing a concealing cloth, squatted at the door of Lin Yue'er's house.
At Chenshi (7-9 AM), Lin Yue'er went out with a basket as usual, bought some things, and then returned home.
In fact, Lin Fan already knew her answer when Lin Yue'er cut off her head to send him off.
This arrangement is just in case she suddenly changes her mind, and then there's that melodramatic scenario where her family locks her up and prevents her from leaving.
However, it seems that this was all her own decision, and she did not appear to be restricted in her freedom at all.
Lin Fan wouldn't ask her again if she wanted to leave, as his presence might cause her to impulsively change her carefully considered decision.
Whether Lin Yue'er didn't want to leave her family or lacked the courage, not wanting to leave was her decision, the life she chose, and Lin Fan wanted her to choose her own life.
Noon.
Dr. Lei and his two companions finally saw Lin Fan arrive, albeit late.
Lin Fan smiled and said to them, "Sorry, I overslept, but I'm not late, am I?"
Dr. Lei looked at his dark circles and asked, "Did you oversleep? You probably didn't sleep all night."
Everyone knew he had gone to wait for Lin Yue'er, but since he came alone, no one dared to ask him any questions. Even Chen Ergou was unusually well-behaved at this moment, gazing up at the blue sky at a 45-degree angle, showing no concern for Lei Erge's private affairs.
"Ergou, I didn't know you could drive a horse-drawn carriage!"
Chen Ergou drove the car, and Dr. Lei sat behind him, chatting casually with him.
"Hmm, what's wrong? Can't a carpenter learn to drive? I know a lot of things."
Fortunately, Chen Ergou knew how to drive, which saved him the trouble of hiring a driver.
They had one wagon and two slow horses. After meeting up with the caravan, the caravan moved a lot of goods onto their wagon, so that their wagon could blend in seamlessly with the rest of the caravan.
"I have to transport goods for people and pay them money. I wonder how I can make money from both ends of this job," Chen Ergou complained casually as he drove the cart.
Lin Fan looked back. It was finally time to leave and set off. He hoped that the road ahead led him home.
Lin Fan let out a shout of "Ah!" at the sky, as if bidding farewell to everything here.
