Chapter 1501 Not Daring to Go Home

Everyone heard the praise of John Doe, the oldest.

They laughed happily. Although John Doe pulverized them, they had a good idea their strength had improved. With this speed of progress, they could soon get out of the ruins. They would follow Fang Qiu and face Wulin, Nirvana Organization, and the world!

“The Lunar New Year is coming. You can go home and have a good rest for a few days. You have been staying outside for a long time. It’s time for you to go back and see your family. Accompany your wives and children.”

With a smile, Fang Qiu told them.

These brothers nodded with a smile.

“Honestly, the oldest, we have longed to go back.”

He Gaoming stepped forward and said with a smile, “But we have been waiting for you to come back and give a speech.”

“We brothers all want to wait for you to come back. We want you to know it in case you can’t find us when you come.”

When Fang Qiu heard that…

Touched, he looked at everyone and nodded.

“Oh, I almost forgot about it.”

He Gaoming continued, “The oldest is back. Then, let’s pack up and go home to celebrate the Lunar New Year. I bring the money we’ve earned in the past year. Let’s split the money!”

Then…

He Gaoming went straight to the thatched cottage, took out a big suitcase, and opened it before everyone.

It was full of red, large bills.

Fang Qiu took a closer look.

With a wry smile, he asked, “Can’t you transfer the money to their bank accounts?”

“How tiring it would be.”

Immediately, He Gaoming shook his head and said, “Besides, sending the money to their accounts feels a little unreal. It’s delightful to receive a large sum of cash. We brothers have been away from home for a year. It’s happier to bring back a pile of large, red bills to home than a bank card!”

These brothers laughed out loud and nodded.

“Well, the money is just a small part of our bonus.”

He Gaoming added, “It’s the Lunar New Year. Returning with red, large bills is the most practical thing. After all, if I take out all your dividends, I don’t think any of you can carry the money back. This way, we take out a small token bonus of 100,000 yuan. I’ll transfer the rest to your bank cards.”

“Brothers, share the money!”

He Gaoming laughed and shouted. Then he reached out to take the money out of the suitcase. Each brother got ten stacks of cash and a backpack to keep the money in.

Everyone had a great time sharing the money.

Here…

Fang Qiu looked toward Sword Fanatic.

“Big brother.”

Fang Qiu asked, “Are you going home for the Lunar New Year, too?”

“Nope.”

Sword Fanatic shook his head and said, “I had no home long ago. It’s good for them all if I don’t go back. When I return, they will have to change their lifestyle and life pace.”

“Then, go back with me and spend the Lunar New Year at my home.”

Fang Qiu invited.

“No need for that.”

Sword Fanatic shook his head with a smile and said, “That’s a waste of my time. I’d better stay here and spend more time studying my swordsmanship.”

Fang Qiu looked at Sword Fanatic.

A well-satisfied smile spread over his face. Fang Qiu didn’t know what his family condition was. However, he seemed no longer tied down by his family. Like the elder living in the woods Fang Qiu met earlier, he had achieved a high spiritual state.

Fang Qiu had not reached that level yet.

However…

He could understand his choice.

When these brothers shared the money…

Fang Qiu watched his brothers go away one by one. Then, only Sword Fanatic was with him.

“Go ahead.”

Sword Fanatic waved his hand.

Fang Qiu nodded. Under Sword Fanatic’s gaze, he left the relic and booked an air ticket home.

Linxi County…

Fang Qiu had been living here for decades since he was little. But now, he could only come back once or twice a year!

He got off the train at the local station.

Soon, Fang Qiu got in the car he booked in advance with his mobile phone, heading for home.

Without doubt…

Fang Qiu wore a hat and pulled his hat down firmly over his ears.

After all, he was going home. He couldn’t disguise himself so heavily that even his parents couldn’t recognize him.

As he got in the car, Fang Qiu lowered his head and concentrated on his phone. The driver didn’t say anything more after confirming his destination.

Obviously, he didn’t recognize Fang Qiu.

After a while…

“Hey, is there any activity here? Why are there so many people?”

Getting close to Fang Qiu’s home, the driver asked in surprise.

Fang Qiu took a closer look.

“Oh, crap.

“Not an activity. These people block the doorway before my home.”

Fang Qiu hurriedly got out of the car.

Then, after the car he hired left, he lowered his head and pulled his hat down to hide his face. Pulling his suitcase, he quietly walked toward the large group before his house.

As he walked, he muttered, “I must make a back door. Otherwise, this will be a real headache for me every year.”

Soon after…

He walked to the front door.

Fang Qiu never looked up. He pushed his way through the crowd, trying to enter the yard.

Just then…

“Eh?”

Suddenly, a hand reached out and took off Fang Qiu’s hat.

This time…

Fang Qiu was dumbfounded.

He quickly turned his head and saw a young man staring at him. Well, the others did not notice his arrival — they were still talking loudly to his parents in the yard.

“Shh!”

Fang Qiu quickly gestured for the man taking off his hat to keep quiet, hoping he would hush up his presence.

However…

“Fang Qiu.”

The young man was suddenly overjoyed. Immediately, he pointed at Fang Qiu and shouted excitedly, “You’re Fang Qiu.”

His voice traveled fast.

Everyone at the scene instantly quieted down and turned around.

When all of them saw Fang Qiu…

The crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

Instantly…

Fang Qiu, utterly stunned, couldn’t even make a wry smile.

“Fang Qiu indeed!”

“He’s so handsome, much more attractive than his image on TV.”

“He has made a name for himself at such a young age. Awesome.”

“He is the miracle-working doctor, Doctor Fang, a world-famous miracle-working doctor. He is amazing!”

“I see the miracle-working doctor, Doctor Fang.”

“Fang Qiu is right before me. Is Fang Qiu before me the real one?”

For a time, Fang Qiu heard all kinds of compliments and many excited words.

Over there…

Fang Qiu’s parents also saw him.

“Hey, my son is back.”

Fang Qiu’s mother quickly went up to him with a smile. While elbowing her way through the crowd, she said, “Excuse me, please let me through. Let my son go home. If you have anything to say, say it when he gets home!”

Everyone heard that.

They felt too embarrassed to stop his mother because they were here to see Fang Qiu. They could only try their best to part and make way for her.

It took them a lot of effort to make a small path for Fang Qiu’s mother. She grabbed her son’s hand, pulled him out of the crowd, and took him home.

As it turned out…

Everyone followed them into the living room.

This time, Fang Qiu was utterly dumbfounded. He didn’t expect these people to follow him to the living room.

“Fang Qiu, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you here for several days.”

“That’s right. It’s almost the Lunar New Year. Why didn’t you come back earlier? We’ve waited for you for a long time.”

“We have made a lot of work to wait for you to return.”

“Yes. We knew you would come back for the Lunar New Year, so everyone came here to get you. Now it proves we are right to expect this: you are back for the Lunar New Year. It’s so great!”

“Since you’re back, why don’t you give me a checkup?”

“Examine me. I also want a check-up.”

“My feet have been in pain for a long time since the military training. Please take a look at them.”

For a time, men and women, old and young, all gathered around and clamored for Fang Qiu to treat them.

This time…

Fang Qiu finally understood.

It turned out that these people specially came to see him. In passing, they wanted Fang Qiu to treat them.

Fang Qiu didn’t know most people here, but since they had come here, it was inappropriate for Fang Qiu to turn them down. Therefore, he could only try to reduce the impact as much as possible.

“Okay. All right.”

When others all started talking at once, Fang Qiu quickly stood up and waved his hand, signaling them not to speak.

When everyone quieted down…

Fang Qiu lowered his voice and said, “Listen to me, everyone. From tomorrow on, I’ll accept patients for three days, but there’s a limit to the number of patients I can see: 100 people. If you want to let me check and treat you, don’t spread the news that I’ve come back. Otherwise, you may lose the chance to line up and see me!”

Everyone heard this.

They immediately understood his meaning.

“Yes, of course. I won’t reveal the secret no matter what.”

A middle-aged woman said happily, “Then I’ve made an appointment with you tomorrow morning. I’ll be the first one to get here.”

The others echoed one after another.

“Alright then.”

Fang Qiu nodded satisfactorily and said, “Then please go back now. More people will come if you crowd at my home for a few days. At that time, it’s hard to say if you can get the treatment.”

Everyone heard this.

Only then did they realize what he meant.

Since Fang Qiu was exceedingly famous, all the people in the county must know this was his home. If others passed by and saw Fang Qiu’s bustling home, they would know Fang Qiu had returned. At that time, everyone would run over to see Fang Qiu. How could Fang Qiu treat them with so many people coming?

With this in mind…

Everyone decided to leave.

While smiling, they said goodbye to Fang Qiu and his parents. Afterward, they left one after another.

When all of them were out of his home…

Fang Qiu lay on the sofa with a wry smile and said to his parents, “Well, I won’t dare to go home in the future. How about we buy a big house?”

“What? You don’t dare to go home?”

Fang Qiu’s father pulled a long face and said, “I don’t mean to criticize you, but one must not forget his origin. We should help each other. They have come to our doors. What’s wrong with helping them? Do you think it’s troublesome?”

“Dad, that’s not what I meant.”

Fang Qiu smiled apologetically and hastened to explain, “I’m doing this for you and Mom. Think about it. With so many people here, you would stay busy all day and couldn’t receive all our guests. I came back because I wanted to celebrate the Lunar New Year with you and accompany you for a few days. How could I keep you busy?”

“That’s right.”

Fang Qiu’s mother immediately echoed to speak for her son. “It’s not easy for our son to come back. Can’t you say something nice?

“Son, but…

“These people are all our neighbors. You have to take care of them if you can. After all, they are all acquaintances.”
