Chapter 31

Maple Leaf Village.

A small village located deep in the mountains.

Lin Feng’s home was at the end of the village, while Lin Laotou’s home was at the beginning. The two houses were more than a hundred meters apart. Lin Feng and his group headed towards Lin Laotou’s house.

The village was not big, but it quickly attracted the attention of the entire village.

Being far from towns, whenever the villagers fell ill, they would seek help from Lin Feng’s grandfather, Lin Guochang. Lin Guochang never refused anyone and could cure illnesses of any size.

Lin Guochang gradually gained fame in the village.

As his reputation grew, many people came from afar, seeking Lin Guochang’s medical expertise. In his younger years, Lin Guochang was a renowned physician in Jiangzhou.

Later on, Lin Guochang had a son and passed down his medical skills to him, who was Lin Feng’s father. Lin Guochang then retreated from the forefront.

Thus, in the eyes of the older generation, Lin Guochang was highly respected.

Six months ago, when Lin Guochang healed Lin Laotou’s legs, it led to a significant drop in his status among the villagers.

This time, when Lin Feng brought his grandfather to Lin Laotou’s house, many people came to watch the excitement.

Lin Feng and his grandfather, Lin Guochang, along with Murong Mengxi and the three women, walked at the front. Lin Hao and his father, Lin Zhiyao, followed behind. As the group left Lin Feng’s yard, Lin Hao signaled to two henchmen.

The two henchmen discreetly left the crowd. Instead of leaving, they waited until Lin Feng and the others were gone before returning to Lin Feng’s yard.

In the yard, various medicinal herbs were drying in the sun.

The two henchmen exchanged glances and took out a bundle of plastic bags from their pockets. They carefully sorted and packed all the herbs. This was the purpose of their visit.

If Lin Feng wasn’t at home, they would openly rob the medicinal herbs from Lin Feng’s home. Even if Lin Guochang reported it to the police, there were people in the police station who would help them.

“Gouzi, should we go inside the house and take a look?”

“Nonsense, there must be a bunch of medicinal herbs in Lin Feng’s house. If we don’t go in, how can we take them?” Gouzi scolded, grumbling.

Later on, the two men walked towards Lin Feng’s house with the plastic bags. Lin Guochang had already locked the door when he left, but these two were not to be underestimated. Unlocking the door for them was as simple as eating a meal.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng was unaware of what was happening at home.

The group had already arrived at Lin Hao’s house. Many villagers had gathered out of curiosity to see what was going on.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Lin Hao thought this was a good opportunity. He took out his phone and opened the camera function.

“Dear fellow villagers! I believe everyone still remembers what happened to my family six months ago.”

Saying that, Lin Hao pointed at Lin Feng.

“Half a year ago, my grandfather and Lin Feng went into the mountains together. My grandfather accidentally injured his leg. My father and I wanted to take him to the hospital, but we were stopped by Lin Feng and his grandfather!”

Lin Hao’s face gradually showed anger.

“That night was right here! Right at this doorstep, my grandfather lay on a stretcher, and Lin Feng and his grandfather assured us that they could definitely cure my grandfather.”

“I believed it, and so did our entire family. But what happened later? Everyone knows, Lin Feng and his grandfather not only failed to cure my grandfather, but also left my grandfather with paralyzed legs…”

As Lin Hao spoke, his eyes gradually reddened. For those who didn’t know, they might think he was a filial grandson.

Unfortunately, the local neighbors knew Lin Hao’s character very well and were not buying into his act. At the same time, they felt pity for Lin Laotou.

Seeing his descendants being so disappointing and Lin Laotou suffering such a calamity in his later years, with his legs paralyzed due to delayed treatment, many couldn’t help but sigh.

Lin Feng remained silent.

He didn’t offer any rebuttals. Apart from the filial piety Lin Hao pretended to show, the rest of the story was true.

“Let’s go, let’s go inside and check on Lin Lao Tou.” Lin Guochang patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and walked towards the door.

Lin Feng nodded and walked in.

Inside the house, Old Lin was cooking something to eat.

After his legs became paralyzed, he could only sit in a wheelchair. Old Lin, a lifelong strong-willed man, refused the care of his children. He insisted on taking care of his own life.

As Old Lin was cooking, he heard a noisy commotion outside. The loudest voice belonged to his unfilial grandson, Lin Hao.

Six months ago, after his legs became paralyzed, his son and grandson, ignoring his advice, took Lin Feng’s family to court. Old Lin regretted this deeply.

“Old Lin, it’s time for dinner,” came Lin Guochang’s voice from outside the kitchen.

“Big brother Lin, why are you here?” Old Lin exclaimed with excitement. Old Lin was seven or eight years younger than Lin Guochang. In his younger days, after getting injured while hunting in the mountains, he often went to Lin Guochang for bandages.

“Old Lin, just came to see how you’re doing.” Lin Guochang looked at Old Lin sitting in the wheelchair, his eyes dimming.

Old Lin seemed to sense Lin Guochang’s discomfort and laughed heartily. “Big brother Lin, I’m fine. I’ve come to terms with these legs of mine. After hunting for decades, consider this a kind of karma for my legs.”

Lin Guochang remained silent.

On the other side,

Lin Hao ran over excitedly and squatted by his grandfather’s side. “Grandpa, Lin Feng says he can cure you, so I brought them here.”

Old Lin’s expression changed instantly. He looked up at Lin Feng walking in and shook his head. “Little Feng, thanks for your kindness, but my legs can’t be healed. You don’t need to bother.”

Before Lin Feng could speak, Lin Hao became anxious. If his grandfather didn’t let Lin Feng treat his legs, how could his plan proceed?

“Grandpa, Lin Feng says he can cure you. You can’t refuse him,” Lin Hao hurriedly said.

“Go away,” Old Lin said irritably.

If Old Lin’s legs weren’t paralyzed, he would have kicked his grandson in the face long ago.

Lin Feng smiled and approached Old Lin.

“Grandpa Lin, I am confident that I can cure you. Let me give it a try,” Lin Feng said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, Grandpa, just let Lin Feng give it a try,” Lin Hao quickly agreed.

“Little Feng, Grandpa thanks you for your kindness. But this is my retribution, and I don’t want to burden your family anymore,” Old Lin sighed.

He was very straightforward, basically warning them that his grandson was probably setting a trap for them, and they shouldn’t fall for it.

Seeing Old Lin’s firm attitude, Lin Feng could only look for help from his own grandfather, Lin Guochang.

Old Lin was known in the village for being stubborn. If anyone could make him yield, it would be Lin Feng’s grandfather, Lin Guochang.

Lin Guochang, observing the situation, spoke slowly.

“Old Lin, let Lin Feng take a look. Since he says he can cure you, give him a chance.”

“Big brother Lin…” Old Lin wanted to say something more, but when he saw Lin Guochang’s determined gaze, he reluctantly nodded, “Okay, let Lin Feng take a look then.”
