The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 1906 - 1905: Buying Information

The local customs are quite simple and honest. Hearing that Ling Feng’s car broke down in the wilderness and he hasn’t had a meal for a long time, the young man quickly said, "Come with me, come to my house to eat!"

"Thank you!"

Ling Feng nodded and followed him.

The curious crowd dispersed around them because a man with a broken car is nothing exciting to see.

Following behind the young man, Ling Feng asked, "How should I address you, sir?"

"My name is Qi Li, and yours?" the young man asked.

Ling Feng smiled, "I am Zha Lan from my family."

Anyway, coming anonymously, he randomly made up a name. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Qi Li nodded, then asked, "Where did your car break down? After eating, I’ll drive you there, haul it back!"

"No need, the car is already destroyed; even if hauled back, it can’t be repaired. I’m leaving it!" Ling Feng said.

"Alright then!"

Qi Li nodded and continued, "But this place is quite far from the city. There’s a truck delivering supplies once a week; it’s a hassle to return to the city!"

"Oh, it’s alright, I’ll manage on my own!" Ling Feng said.

Following each other, they walked not far before entering a family’s yard.

The buildings here are similar; every household has its own bungalow and yard, and cars are parked at the entrance. The living conditions seem quite good.

Qi Li entered the house and shouted something in the local dialect toward inside, then a chubby woman came out.

"Brother Zha Lan, this is my wife Sang Duo. She doesn’t speak English, just say hello!" Qi Li said.

Ling Feng smiled and nodded at Sang Duo.

Then Qi Li talked with his wife for a few moments before Sang Duo went back into the house.

A moment later, she came out with a large plate of food.

Ling Feng saw there were flatbreads, cooked meat of an unknown animal, and some vegetables.

The food was quite abundant. Although Ling Feng was not hungry, in order not to arouse suspicion, he reluctantly started eating.

At the same time, he felt the hospitality of Qi Li and his wife, and was genuinely touched. So after eating half of the food, Ling Feng said to Qi Li, "Brother, I’m full now and didn’t bring anything. Please accept this money as a token of gratitude!"

With that, he took out a bundle of US Dollars from his bag.

Yes, a bundle!

This money was originally meant to purchase information, but upon encountering such kind hospitable people, he decided to give it to Qi Li as gratitude!

Seeing him pull out such an amount of money, Qi Li was a bit startled and quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I cannot take your money!"

"I ate your food, I ought to pay. Brother Qi Li, please don’t hesitate!"

Ling Feng smiled and forcibly handed the money to him.

Qi Li tried to refuse, saying this is not the way to treat guests and if neighbors hear about it, it would be embarrassing, plus the amount is too much!

Seeing his firm attitude, Ling Feng didn’t pretend anymore and said earnestly, "Brother Qi Li, actually my visit here is not by chance. Coming to the town is to inquire about something. Take this money and just tell me who in this area knows witchcraft!"

"Ah?"

Qi Li was startled and asked in astonishment, "Why are you asking this?"

"Curiosity!"

Ling Feng laughed and then asked, "Brother Qi Li surely knows where that person is, right?"

"I do!"

Qi Li nodded and continued, "But he is not in the town; he lives in the mountains to the north!"

"Alright, I’ll trouble brother Qi Li to take me there, this money is your thank-you fee!" Ling Feng said.

Looking down at the bundle of US Dollars in his hand, at least a hundred thousand or more, Qi Li hesitated, "This is too much!"

"Not at all, not at all, I don’t have much else, but I do have a lot of money. This is really nothing!" Ling Feng laughed.

Seeing his sincerity, Qi Li finally nodded, "Alright then, thanks so much!"

After all, US Dollars are hard currency, and having so much money at once in this small town can make one the wealthiest person around.

So Qi Li was excitedly holding the money as he went inside, said a few words to Sang Duo, and soon there were joyful shouts from inside the house.

Seeing them happy, Ling Feng also felt quite happy, feeling like he met good people and helped them; his mood was wonderful!

Qi Li quickly came out, took Ling Feng in his worn-out pickup truck, started the engine, and the car roared with a bursting sound as it slowly began to move.

As they drove, Qi Li smiled at Ling Feng, "It’s quite a coincidence, anyone else probably wouldn’t take you there, but I’m different!"

Ling Feng was curious and looked at him, "Why is that?"

"Because the person who knows witchcraft is my grandfather!"

Qi Li laughed.

Ling Feng was taken aback, then laughed, "That’s truly coincidental!"

"Yes, ever since the incident at home, grandpa does not meet any outsiders, so if it wasn’t for meeting me, you wouldn’t be able to see him!" Qi Li said.

Ling Feng was startled and quickly asked, "What happened at your home?"

"My father, he passed away recently!"

Qi Li said with a somewhat downcast expression.

Ling Feng uttered "Oh," and was moved in his heart. He quickly asked, "What happened to him? Was he ill?"

"The government concluded it was a sudden heart attack, but both grandpa and I know father was definitely killed by someone. But there’s no evidence, we are helpless!" Qi Li said.

"Killed by whom?" Ling Feng again asked.

"My father started working for the government ten years ago, claiming to be in some secret department, but he never told us the specifics. When he occasionally returned home, he always seemed in a bad mood, and wouldn’t talk!"

Qi Li paused here before sighing, "The last time he came home, he said the world is about to erupt in chaos, and told us the entire family not to go anywhere, just stay at home, perhaps we can survive the crisis with grandpa around. He also said if he doesn’t return, I must take good care of grandpa!"

"So, in other words, your father anticipated something was about to happen, right?" Ling Feng asked.

Qi Li nodded, "Yes, that’s the only explanation. Otherwise, why would he, as if arranging his affairs, say so many things!"

Ling Feng agreed after some thought, and nodded, "Indeed, this matter does seem strange. Later, I’ll help you investigate, maybe we’ll find out what happened!"

Qi Li quickly looked at him, "Thank you so much then!"

"You’re welcome!"

The car drove through the wilderness for a while, gradually entering a rugged mountainous area, then stopped beside a shack at the foot of the mountain.

Getting out of the car, Qi Li spoke to a skinny elderly man who walked out, "Grandpa, this guest wants to see you!"

Unexpectedly, the elderly man glanced at Ling Feng and immediately knelt down on the ground!
