The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1202

The quiet village, with villagers long accustomed to working from sunrise to sunset.

By nine o’clock in the evening, most people were already asleep.

Lin Yifan returned to the old house, fed medicine to his mother, watched her fall asleep, then closed the door but left the back window open.

He then went to the bowl rack, filled a porcelain bowl with water.

After lighting four sticks of incense, he returned to the east room.

He took out a square yellow paper, about the size of his palm, from the cabinet.

Folded it a few times in his hand, a paper crane appeared in his palm.

"Half a bowl of clear water reflects the universe, a spirit talisman commands ghosts and gods..."

Muttering a segment of obscure incantation, his right hand formed a mysterious gesture, gently tapping the back of the paper crane.

The paper crane flew out of his hand, through the window, disappearing into the night sky in an instant.

Lin Yifan wasted no time, his figure swift as a shooting star, chasing after it.

On treetops, atop forest peaks, he navigated freely.

If seen by outsiders, they would surely think it was a ghost or demon.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the vast mountains of Black Bear Valley.

About half an hour later, Lin Yifan landed on a hillside.

In the depths of the darkness, there were continuous low growls.

Shadowy figures, vague and indistinct, flickered and hovered around.

But Lin Yifan paid no heed, striding into the depths of the dense forest.

The paper crane, glimmering with a faint golden light, lay motionless on the ground.

Lin Yifan took out a flashlight, illuminating the patch of grass.

Next to the paper crane, a ginseng flower with six leaves grew.

Joy swelled in Lin Yifan’s heart, he took out three sticks of incense, lit them, and planted them in the ground, bowing to the surroundings once more.

"Thank you, Mountain God and Land God, for your care."

Then he found a birch tree nearby, tore off a piece of bark, and grabbed some moss from the ground to lay on it.

Preparations complete, Lin Yifan placed the flashlight aside.

Using a branch, he drew a one-meter square circle around the ginseng leaves.

Only then did he take out the prepared ceramic pieces, digging little by little.

Digging ginseng has many intricacies, requiring precision work.

Firstly, metal tools cannot be used, and it’s crucial to ensure the wild ginseng remains intact.

If anything goes wrong, the value significantly diminishes.

To extract a complete ginseng, it takes no less than three to five hours.

......

The night was deep, yet a few houses in the village still had lights on.

Uncle was sitting on the heated brick bed at home, drinking some liquor with Hu Zhiming.

Hu Zhiming angrily slammed his glass on the table.

"I really can’t swallow this today, Old Liu Family and Old Li Family are clearly in cahoots, interpreting the village committee’s decision at will, these guys have no good intentions."

Uncle took the wine jug and poured him another glass.

"So tell me, is supporting Yifan in opening a clinic a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Of course it’s a good thing. Just today, news came from the Old Sun Family, saying Little Hu Zi was sent to the City Hospital. The experts there were astonished by the surgical wounds and disinfection methods. Based on their evaluation, considering Sun Xiaohu’s condition at the time, not to mention the City Hospital, even the major hospitals in the Provincial City couldn’t guarantee a 100% successful surgery."

Hu Zhiming downed his drink in one go.

"Now, the hospital experts and the dean in the City are still discussing Little Tiger’s surgery difficulty. Little Tiger’s mother said they all think it’s impossible. Some even approached them to inquire about Lin Yifan. You see, a top Medical University graduate becoming our village doctor is like finding treasure, yet these bastards ruined the good thing."

Uncle unimpressed, took a sip from his wine cup.

"Exactly, if it’s a good thing, then in the future, whenever someone has a headache or fever with nowhere to seek treatment, they’ll certainly curse them behind their backs. This time Old Li took the bullet for Boss Liu, sooner or later they’ll see the light. On the other hand, Yifan has improved a lot, used a strategy that both kills and demoralizes. It won’t take long for Old Li Family and Old Liu Family to be at each other’s throats. This move is smart."

Hu Zhiming expressed some concern.

"But opening a clinic costs a lot, and Lin Yifan has a stubborn personality. I heard Xizhu was kicked out when he tried to send money. If it’s just an ordinary small clinic, it won’t make much profit. But if it’s equipped with equipment, it would cost a lot. You know his family’s situation, they get only over eight hundred a month from social welfare, where’s the money to support a clinic?"

"Don’t worry, I think the kid is capable, but he has been studious since young, so he doesn’t know much about rural matters. Xu Fengxian is clever, but her actions often show a woman’s kindness. As an elder, some words are hard for me to say. In the future, if you have a chance, give him some advice. It’s better to land a heavy blow now than suffer many later. If he can’t stand firm in the first few steps, the days ahead won’t be easy."

Uncle picked a peanut, putting it in his mouth.

"Are you thinking of letting him succeed you?"

Hu Zhiming pushed his glasses, catching the implication in the words.

"I took over this village head position from his father, naturally I want to return it. But whether he can handle it depends on his ability. Old Liu Da is just a clown; the truly terrifying families have been biding their time for years. They’re all watching the show now, waiting for Yifan to make a fool of himself. They’re hoping I’d kick the bucket soon so they can claim everything in Black Bear Valley."

Uncle chuckled, raising his glass.

About this village, about Black Bear Valley, there are too many secrets involved.

Even those born and raised here, don’t understand.

"Village chief, with Yifan’s skills, if he went to the Provincial City, he’d undoubtedly become a star. Staying in this village is like a pearl covered in dust, never seeing daylight. As for those old bastards, do you think I can’t handle them?"

Hu Zhiming surely knew who the village chief was referring to.

He was already rolling up his sleeves, ready to fight.

"Don’t underestimate those old monsters. Able to hide for decades without exposing themselves, their patience and depth of mind, if not for the village guardian still present, they would have already taken action. The things in Black Bear Valley would have been lost long ago. Moreover, the gap between us and geniuses can’t be bridged by effort alone."

Uncle smiled mysteriously, everyone has secrets in their hearts.

This small village is far from as simple as it looks.

......

At Liu Laoda’s house, a group of people were gathered around the table, drinking wine and eating meat.

"Today was really exhilarating, seeing the village chief’s frustrated face made me want to laugh!"

Liu the Sixth exclaimed excitedly.

"Serves him right, who asked him to offend Old Liu Da, this is just the beginning. Wait until the village chief changes, Old Lin Family will suffer."

Li the Fourth chimed in, kissing up.

Boss Liu simply smiled, raising his glass to Old Li, "This time it’s thanks to Uncle Li, otherwise things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. In the future, in the village, we have to look out for each other."

Such troublemakers are quite handy for him.

Only Liu Laoda’s wife sat on the brick bed with a sullen face: "You all just keep drinking, this time you’ve ruined Lin Yifan’s good thing, if there’s ever an illness or disaster, they surely won’t care for you."

The village WeChat group was buzzing about how Lin Yifan’s medical skills were being recognized.

Old Li, however, confidently picked up his glass, "What’s the big deal, if we can’t live without Lin Yifan? For serious ailments, we head to big hospitals. For minor illnesses, leave it to me, Uncle Li. We’ve been in this business for years, nothing will go wrong!"

The way he puffed out his chest made it hard not to believe him.

Little did he know, the more boastful now, the more miserable the fall later.
