Chapter 88 Why didn't you come to propose marriage?
"roll!"
"Hehe, one day Brother Lin will come begging to me."
Ma Sijiao's voice still echoed in the air, but her figure had already disappeared.
“Brother, are you saying that while you were away, they turned your mother into a puppet?” Doctor Lei asked, his voice trembling.
He seemed to be addressing Lin Fan, but also seemed to be addressing himself, muttering, "These bastards, these beasts, how dare they!"
He looked at Lin Fan with bloodshot eyes, as if the one who died was his own relative. "You're right. Finding the entrance isn't urgent. We'll help you find the person who killed your mother first and avenge her."
Lin Fan had prepared to coerce and bribe the doctor into helping him, but to his surprise, the man agreed without saying a word. Lin Fan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, doctor. Consider it a favor I owe you."
Doctor Lei didn't say much. After thinking for a while, he took out a packet of medicine and shook it. "It doesn't really matter if Niu Dadan can't be found. His lover and child are still there, aren't they? Tonight I'll go and deliver the abortion soup to the second concubine. My brother, come with me then. We'll see what happens and keep the second concubine in check. I don't believe Niu Dadan won't show up."
Lin Fan nodded. This was similar to what he had thought on the way here, and it was also the reason why he had to ask Dr. Lei for help. Moreover, such a plan to threaten the patient was unethical, and Lin Fan was actually worried that Dr. Lei would refuse if he brought it up.
"Well then, I'll head home now." Er Gou, having finished the snacks on the table, was backing away, preparing to leave.
"Come back!" Dr. Lei shouted, and Lin Fan grabbed his ear and pulled him back.
After descending the mountain, this kid followed Doctor Lei around, asking all sorts of questions and eating everything he saw. He even tasted the medicinal soup that Doctor Lei prepared for the patients to check for saltiness.
Lin Fan grabbed his ear, "Brother Er Gou, why do you think we've been letting you listen in the background the whole time?"
Chen Ergou's lips twitched. He was just there to watch the show, and he was actually happy that they weren't kicking him out.
Lin Fan said kindly, "Of course I treat you as one of my own. I hope you will do your best in the future."
Chen Ergou was originally an outsider of unknown origin, and he was unlikely to be an acquaintance of Lin Caizhu or Niu Dadan. Lin Fan and his companion did indeed need help.
Just as Chen Ergou was about to refuse, Lin Fan took out a small piece of silver and stuffed it into his hand, saying, "I won't treat you badly afterward."
Chen Ergou swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue, "No problem, please give me your orders, brothers."
After resolving Chen Ergou's matter, Doctor Lei turned to Lin Fan and said, "Brother, if there is still no news of the entrance after this matter is over, then it is most likely that it has disappeared, or the entrance you came from is a one-way street, meaning you can only come in and not go back."
Lin Fan nodded. He didn't tell Doctor Lei that he was a transmigrator, but said that he had arrived a long time ago and was raised by Lin Shuixiu in place of his drowning son. After all, he had long ago decided not to tell anyone about transmigration, which was similar to possession. Therefore, the possibility of there being an entrance to the mortal world in this area was actually very low.
Lin Fan asked, "If not, what are your plans, Doctor?"
Doctor Lei stroked his beard, "Naturally, we'll go to Kunlun again."
"Okay." Lin Fan replied simply. Needless to say, he was going too. Even if he couldn't find the entrance there, he had originally planned to escape as far away as possible, preferably out of the Great Qian Dynasty. He was currently a wanted criminal on the list.
"Brother, it's still early, go and rest for a while. Er Gou, don't wander off, stay here and help me out."
Dr. Lei was still cautious. He wanted Er Gou to stay by his side at all times, firstly to keep an eye on him, and secondly because he really needed a helper. However, the people helping him at his clinic were all from Bailin Village, and he didn't really trust them.
Lin Fan hadn't slept all night and hadn't rested at all since returning to the temporary room that Dr. Lei had arranged for him.
Just as I was about to close the door, I saw Lin Yue'er rushing in from outside. Her face was flushed and covered in mud. Her white dress was also covered in mud and torn by tree branches. Even her exposed fair skin had bloodstains.
"How did you get like this? Who bullied you? I still have time, I'll go and deal with him for you now." Lin Fan asked with concern, and then pulled Lin Yue'er to find the person who dared to bully her.
Lin Yue'er quickly stopped him, looking at Lin Fan with her big, watery eyes. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Brother Fan, are you going to avenge Auntie?"
Lin Fan replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, but there's still some time. I'll get someone for you; it won't delay things."
"No, I already said I injured myself by accident."
As Lin Yue'er spoke, she pulled Lin Fan to sit down on the stairs. They used to sit like this when they played together as children, and Lin Yue'er also felt that it was more comfortable than sitting on a chair.
She wanted to persuade Lin Fan not to take the risk, not to get hurt again, not to become battered and bruised, or even lose his life. But Lin Fan was going to avenge his mother; what right did she have to stop him?
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan spoke first, "Yue'er, thank you so much for my mother's funeral. If you hadn't helped me with the money, my mother might not have been able to be buried peacefully. Oh, by the way, I should give you the money."
Just as Lin Fan was about to get the money, he suddenly remembered something and had to leave. "Damn it, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even bury my mom back. I hope there aren't any wolves. Oh, no, wolves are fine, as long as there aren't any termites."
Seeing Lin Fan swaying back and forth as if he had lost his mind, Lin Yue'er suddenly grabbed him, threw herself into his arms, and held back her tears, sobbing, "Brother Xiao Fan, you don't need to give me money, and you don't need to help Aunt Lin with her burial. I've done everything, everything is done. Don't worry, I spent a lot of time on it, and the soil on the grave mound is very neat."
Lin Fan then realized why Lin Yue'er was in such a disheveled state. "I'm sorry, Yue'er, I've troubled you again. I..."
Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Lin Yue'er rested her head on his shoulder and said haltingly, "I don't want you to thank me, I don't want you to give me money. I know it's not the right time, but I really can't hold back anymore. Brother Fan, why do you never talk about us? Do you expect me, a girl, to be the one to speak first? Or do you also look down on me because I'm a widow and don't want to be with me?"
Lin Fan thought the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "No, I absolutely did not have such thoughts."
Lin Yue'er then said, "Then go to my house to propose marriage! My parents always look at me with disdain, but if you go now, they will definitely agree immediately. I don't need your dowry; I can prepare it myself. I know you have to observe mourning, so you can go to my parents' house first to settle things, and then come back to pick me up after a year."
Originally, Lin Yue'er's parents naturally looked down on Lin Fan, a jinx who had lost both his parents. But now that their daughter was a widow, no respectable family would want to marry her. Keeping her at home would add to their expenses, so naturally they wanted to find her a husband as soon as possible, no matter who it was.
Lin Fan actually knew what Lin Yue'er was thinking; he had been avoiding the issue all along.
He always felt that his feelings for Lin Yue'er stemmed from the original owner's memories. However, he never dared to ask for something as extravagant as love. Living a peaceful life with Lin Yue'er in one place was a good choice.
But he never made that choice.
