Chapter 442 An Unexpected Turnaround

Han Yude's heart was sad, shaking his head and sighing, his best friend was terminally ill, and it seemed that there was nothing he could do to save his life.

With tears in his eyes, Dong Fanglin said breathlessly, "Brother Yude, my illness is incurable, so don't break the bank, go away and don't bother about me anymore. I'm alone and unattached, it's the same wherever I die."

Han Yude was even more heartbroken when he heard this, and there were tears in his eyes. He was both anxious and sad, he could not ignore his best friend, and what's more, he was still in a foreign country.

Dong Fanglin said, "My younger brother has a favor to ask. I hope that you will come to my parents' graves every year to cultivate the soil and burn incense and paper money, so that you can fulfill your filial piety on my behalf. You don't have to worry about me as a lonely ghost, and I'm used to being alone and lonely."

With tears in his eyes, Han Yude advised, "Fang Lin, don't think nonsense, I'll definitely cure you, and then we'll both go home together as brothers."

Dong Fanglin secretly lamented, which will be good ah, so on, how much silver will be in the water, can not be involved in the best friend again.

Han Yude sighed, somewhat helplessly, "Fang Lin, there isn't much silver left, I'll miss the boat by guarding here. How about this, you wait here at ease, I'll go and peddle mountain goods to make some money more or less to cure you."

"It's no use, don't run around for me anymore, use up so much silver to cure me, already can't do you justice. My brother is unable to thank you, but I wish to be with my brother again in the next life."

Han Yude was heartbroken, sobbing and shedding tears from time to time, still comforting his fellow countrymen and friends.

Tears streamed down Dong Fanglin's face as he sighed, "Brother, go away, I'm the one who is going to die, spending even more silver can only drag on for a few days, it's not worth it. Brother don't mind me, settle down to do business, make some money and go home."

Han Yude heartache, but also very helpless, sighing. He knows very well, Dong Fanglin's condition is difficult to say when there will be a turnaround, and there is no turnaround, every day only out of the cost of large, this can not last long.

Seeing that there would be no result for a while, and that he could not wait here, he gave an account to the shopkeeper and rose to leave.

Han Yude has been thinking about Dong Fanglin's condition, despite the heavy heart, the sale went smoothly, back and forth trafficking earned more than ten taels of silver, and hurried back to the inn.

At this time, he had been away from the inn for more than twenty days, and was constantly thinking about his friend's condition. When he came back, Han Yude did not see Dong Fanglin, and immediately panicked and had an ominous premonition.

He hurried to the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, where is that brother of mine?"

"Alas, he has been dead for days." The shopkeeper frowned and shook his head, "You came just in time, you still owe the store money, if you don't live there, settle it. Forget about the money for buying medicine for your brother, it's also a small token of my appreciation."

Han Yude cried bitterly at his words, "Where is he buried, I'm going to visit his grave and set up another monument."

"At that time the store was busy, I had to hire a carriage to pull him away, I do not know where to bury. Alas, he was a bitter man, you find a place to burn some paper money."

Han Yude was even more saddened by what he heard and went away in grief.

In fact, the store was justified in telling a lie.

Since Han Yude left, Dong Fanglin's condition worsened day by day, and after more than half a month, he fell into a coma and did not eat or drink.

The shopkeeper panicked, rushed to the doctor to diagnose, learned that can not be saved, has not lived a few hours, can only give up.

Shopkeeper bitterly waited for a few days, or did not see Han Yude back, thought that the opportunity to leave without turning back, more anxious, left and right do not know what to do.

After two more days, the shopkeeper just couldn't wait any longer, and just yesterday, hired a carriage to pull the dying Dong Fanglin out of the city, trying to find a place to bury him.

The shopkeeper came to the north gate and was trying to find a deserted place, but when he saw that Dong Fanglin had not yet breathed his last, he could not bear to dispose of him in this way. Seeing that the sun had already set in the west, and thinking of his family's business, he had no choice but to leave Dong Fanglin by the roadside and drive back to the city.

This morning, the shopkeeper came here again to bury Dong Fanglin, but no trace of the man was found. He searched the neighborhood, still no body, not even a new grave.

He sighed and muttered to himself, "I can't help it, I've done the best I can, just go away."

The shopkeeper looked around, shook his head and went back.

It was such a coincidence that Han Yude came back today, and the shopkeeper could not make it clear, so he had to deal with it in a vague way.

Dong Fanglin was already in a deep coma and about to die, so how could there be no trace of him?

Unexpectedly, he had a turnaround, very fortuitous and unexpected, perhaps not destined to be.

Yesterday, after sunset, a monk passed by here, saw a man lying by the road, thought he was drunk, went over to take a look and realized that he was critically ill.

"Amitabha Buddha!" The monk shook his head, wanting to bring the poor patient back to the temple and pray for his blessing to eliminate the disaster. Even if he couldn't be saved, he couldn't be left to die in the wilderness, he had to be buried in a coffin and make a spell to recite sutras to surpass the dead.

Coincidentally, there was a passing daiyoukai lending a hand at the temple, and this man was none other than Li Zhongyi.

Some days ago, Zhongyi returned home, endured the hard work and labor of going out, and did not want to come out to practice medicine again. However, it was not long before he could not sit still again and decided to go out again in order to visit famous doctors and improve his medical skills.

On this day, Li Zhongyi passed by and saw that it was getting late, so he stayed at this temple.

Seeing that the monk had brought back a patient, he immediately checked his pulse to check his condition. After a few precious moments, he confirmed that Dong Fanglin was terminally ill and had no cure, shook his head and sighed.

Seeing that Dong Fanglin was so young and was about to die, Li Zhongyi was a little heartbroken, so he took a little bit of Xia Yun Grass and Jade Flower, soaked them in boiling water, and gave them to the man who was about to die.

Dong Fanglin was in a coma and was about to die, but he took two kinds of magic pills and was soon cured.

When the monks saw him rise from his illness, they were both pleased and astonished, and prepared a meal of thin rice and other things for him.

Dong Fanglin was very grateful to the monks as well as Li Zhongyi for saving his life, and stayed in the temple for two days to recover his strength before leaving. He went back to that inn and wanted to wait for Han Yude, who had not returned from his trip.

The shopkeeper was very surprised and astonished to see him, wondering how the man who was supposed to be dead came back to life and recovered from his illness.

Dong Fanglin is very sick and his disposition has changed. He is deeply impressed by the preciousness of life and the need to live it well. He learns that his good friend Han Yude has passed away and is so emotional that he gets up and goes home, both to thank his benefactor brother and to visit Wang Yufen.

As he was walking, he saw someone caught in front of him, and immediately became nervous, and quietly came closer to observe with his stick in hand.

The persons arrested were two men, one of whom was close to 30 years old and the other middle-aged. They were dressed in ordinary clothes and appeared to be civilians.

There were four men who had captured them, each with a fierce look, and they didn't know who they were or why they wanted the two men dead.

The captured middle-aged man asked, "What do you do and why are you stopping the road to commit murder?"

A fat man droned, "I still have to ask you, who are you and why are you after the old men?"

The man who was nearly thirty years old froze for a while when he heard this, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, so you have something to do with that murder case. You have committed crimes, killing and robbing money, you should go to the county office to surrender, and strive for leniency, this is the right way. However, you don't want to repent, and do illegal things again, without regard for the law, it is a crime that adds to the crime!"

"I do what I want to do, I dare to do what I want to do, why do I need you to control it, besides you can't control it either. You guys have to go against us, you're asking for death, this will send you on your way!"

"How dare you!" The middle-aged man shouted, "How dare you commit a murder, do you know who this lord is? Listen carefully, he's the governor, don't let go!"

The fat man skimmed his lips, "See how poor you are, if you are the governor, I am the governor."

A couple of guys laughed out loud with great disdain.

The man in his thirties grunted, "There's no mistake, I am the governor, dressed in civilian clothes I am here to investigate the case. I advise you to follow us back and cooperate with the trial of the case, or be lenient."

A couple of guys froze at that, looking at each other wide-eyed and a little flustered, not knowing what to do.

Fatty clenched his teeth, revealing a hideous look, and then let out a cold smile, "Brothers, things have come to this point, we can't stop, otherwise we really won't be able to live, there must be an end to this. Let's not do anything, kill this dog official and save a lot of trouble."

As soon as he spoke, several guys chimed in to make a move on the two captured men.

Human life is at stake and cannot be ignored, Dong Fanglin shouted and rushed over, fighting with a few guys.

Those four people on the surface of a very aggressive and arrogant, but the fist and feet kung fu is not commonplace, was quickly subdued, escorted back to the county magistrate to the case of the trial.

Seeing Dong Fanglin's integrity, youthfulness and competence, as well as his good martial arts skills, the magistrate wanted to keep him in the county office.

Dong Fanglin saw that the magistrate personally made a private visit in order to investigate the case and apprehend the real culprits, which was a rare and good official, and he admired it.

At this time, he was penniless, and returned home alone. Except for his sister Yufen, whom he could not marry, there was nothing left in his hometown, so he agreed to stay.

The magistrate was so happy to have a competent general that he made him the head constable to assist in the case.

Recently, there is another big case to be investigated, and Dong Fanglin comes here every day to check on the case. This murder may involve a local magnate, his name is Wang Yantian, a native of Bailuzhuang.

There is a wide lake near the village, which is named Egret Lake because egret birds come to the lake every year to roost. The village is also known as Egret Village after the egret.

Wang Yantian's mansion was outside the village. He employs a dozen family members and thugs to take by force, and is so rich that no one dares to mess with him.

Not long ago, Wang Yantian saw a dozen acres of good land in Li Ersheng's house, and in order to get his hands on it, he designed to call Li Ersheng to his home. Under severe torture, he made Li Ersheng write a note to buy all the fields with fifty taels of silver, and then killed him.

He has achieved his evil purpose without paying a cent, and his heart is so cruel, his intentions so sinister, and his practices so ferocious that they are horrendous.
