Chapter 816: 816

Fang Qiu had been pondering for a whole night.

He hadn’t come up with a good idea. Hence, he was about to get up and have a good talk with the villagers so as to persuade them to stay positive.

All of a sudden, continual cries came from the village.

“What’s going on?” Hearing the wails coming from the village, Fang Qiu was stunned and had an ominous feeling.

“Did something happen?” Liang Fen said.

They rushed out of the room and ran to the village.

It turned out that almost every family was filled with heartbroken wails.

Without delay, the two of them rushed straight into a house.

As soon as they opened the door, the two of them saw a miner lying on the ground with foaming at the mouth.

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu hurried forward to have a check.

The man was already dead.

“What the hell is going on?” asked Fang Qiu hastily.

In the room, the woman, who was wailing sadly with her child, cried bitterly while kowtowing heavily to Fang Qiu. She said, “Thank you for your benevolence. My husband left this world with no regrets.”

The moment Fang Qiu heard what she said, he was dumbfounded.

What exactly did she mean?

“When my husband took the compensation back home yesterday, he was very happy.”

The woman continued, “He talked to me until the middle of the night. He asked me to repay the debt and then support our children to go to school. He also told me to express his gratitude to you. He arranged everything that he needed to. Then in the middle of the night… after we fell asleep, he committed suicide by taking drugs!”

Then the woman glanced at the man lying on the ground, wiped the white foam on the man’s mouth with a cloth, and said with a painful expression, “He couldn’t bear it a long time ago. If it weren’t for this compensation money, he would have died long ago. Now that we have the money, he also left. I know that he is afraid of treating the disease by spending this money. He didn’t want to burden us!”

After that, the woman couldn’t help but burst into tears again. The child on the side looked at Fang Qiu with red eyes. He kowtowed to Fang Qiu to express his gratitude while he couldn’t help crying.

At this moment, Fang Qiu was nonplussed.

He merely stood there in a daze. He had so many mixed feelings that he couldn’t calm down for a long while.

He did not know whether everything he had done was right or wrong.

He did manage to help them obtain the compensation.

However, this miner chose to commit suicide because he had fulfilled his wish!

Was this right or wrong?

Was he saving people or giving them a chance to die?

He supposed that he didn’t save them.

If they didn’t get their compensation back, no one would die. However, now they eventually received the compensation. Not only would no one stay alive, but many people died because of it!

Fang Qiu was in a disturbed state of mind.

He walked out of the house in frustration.

Soon, Liang Fen walked around the village with red eyes and came to Fang Qiu, telling him, “Yesterday, all the sick miners committed suicide. They were afraid of giving burden on their wives and children, so they chose to commit suicide without discussion. They all drunk pesticide!”

Fang Qiu was aware that it was extremely painful to commit suicide by drinking pesticide.

He could imagine the pain those people had gone through before they died. However, despite the unbearable pain, they still endured it and did not make a noise. They did not dare to disturb their wives and children.

They were worried if they woke up their wives and children, they would be sent to be rescued.

How hard did they try to endure the pain?

They even endured it to the extent that even Fang Qiu couldn’t hear anything from them!

Listening to the wails all over the village, Fang Qiu took a deep breath and couldn’t stop his tears from rolling down.

“Was everything we did yesterday right or wrong?” asked Fang Qiu as he looked at Liang Fen.

“We did nothing wrong.”

Although Liang Fen’s eyes were red, he said firmly, “Getting this money is their last wish. They have been suffering from illness all the time just to get this money for their wives and children. If we don’t get this money, they will die with regrets in the end although they can live a little longer.”

Fang Qiu turned around.

Standing at the entrance of the village and facing the entire village, he knelt heavily and kowtowed. He didn’t raise his head for a long time.

That was true. He didn’t do anything wrong, but he didn’t do it well!

He was responsible for this accident.

He swore in his heart that he must revive Chinese Medicine and make sure that there were more doctors in this land to help people in these remote towns. If there were doctors with good medical skills here, how could the pneumoconiosis of these people become so serious? How would such a tragedy happen?

“I must achieve this!” Fang Qiu clenched his fists tightly.

Then he raised his head, kowtowed heavily again, got up, and turned to leave.

Before this happened, being a beacon was his goal, but it seemed too ideal. Now, reality gave him a profound lesson.

He must achieve this goal, and more than that, he had to do it better!

Now, he couldn’t continue to develop like this and merely go with the flow. He had to take the initiative to promote the revival of Chinese Medicine as soon as possible because there were still numerous people who needed their help.

If he was one day late, maybe it would lead to more tragedies in the future!

Fang Qiu kept striding forward, and every step seemed extremely determined.

In this way, Liang Fen kept following Fang Qiu and didn’t say anything. He looked back at the Xiao Mount village from time to time.

All of a sudden, Fang Qiu stopped.

“Before this, how many people have come to Xiao Mount village to seek justice like you?” asked Fang Qiu.

“As far as I know, there are a total of seven or eight people.”

Liang Fen replied, “I’m talking about martial arts practitioners. We share a common goal.”

“Well, gather them together, and I’ll help you improve your strength,” said Fang Qiu.

“Hmm?” Liang Fen was stunned.

Fang Qiu said, “I’m John Doe.”

Liang Fen was shocked.

“You are John Doe?” Liang Fen was overcome with shock.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I’m John Doe.”

Fang Qiu nodded with certainty.

He knew that Liang Fen was merely a martial arts practitioner who had just entered the martial arts world. He probably didn’t know about the existence of the Wulin forum. He only heard a lot of rumors about John Doe, so he recognized and respected him from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing Fang Qiu’s confirmation, Liang Fen still couldn’t believe it. He quickly patted his face and asked, “I’m not dreaming, am I? I can’t believe I’ve met my idol.”

“Go and gather those people you just mentioned. I’ll help all of you improve your strength.” Fang Qiu instructed.

Indeed, Fang Qiu felt that he had to gather a group of force now.

After all, he was alone now, whose power was inadequate. What he needed to do was to save more lives and use force to defend people. If he intended to save people from the Nirvana Organization, he also required powerful force.

Besides, people around him were mortals. He had to protect these people around him, so he needed more powerful strength and a force that could support everything!

Although judged from what it seemed now, the strength of Liang Fen and the others were not strong enough.

But at least, they were kind-hearted, willing to seek justice for people, which was exactly what Fang Qiu wanted.

Liang Fen took a deep breath and nodded with a spirited expression. “Okay, I’ll go and summon them. But where should we gather?”

“We’ll meet here three days later.”

Fang Qiu turned around, looked at the Xiao Mount village, and said, “I need to hold a memorial ceremony for the people here.”

“Okay.” Liang Fen nodded and left.

After they parted, Fang Qiu immediately went to other villages whose people suffered from illness in other provinces.

The second village was Leprosy Village in Nanjiang. And then he went to AIDS Village in Zhongzhou.

After going to these villages, Fang Qiu was getting more and more devastated.

Only when he set foot in these villages did he discover that more doctors were needed in Huaxia, not to mention the whole world.

In large cities, there were many hospitals and doctors. Everyone felt that there was no lack of doctors.

However, the people of these towns were simply in desperate need of doctors.

Fang Qiu secretly decided. “If Chinese Medicine can’t quickly develop in big cities, then we can start from the small towns and use the countryside to encircle the city. If possible, we can do it at the same time.”

Although he could only take it one step at a time, he had to improve the reputation of Chinese Medicine as soon as possible, because only in this way could more people be willing to learn Chinese Medicine. In this way, more Chinese Medicine doctors would be cultivated so as to serve more patients.

Three days later, Fang Qiu came as promised and returned to the Xiao Mount village in the Su Gan province.

In three days, the miners who committed suicide in the village had been buried.

There was no cemetery here. The people here were all buried in the graves divided in the village. The land of graves, which were originally empty, was covered with new graves after only three days.

Fang Qiu came to the grave.

Looking at the dense graves, he bowed deeply.

“May you live a rich life and have nothing to worry about in the next life!” Fang Qiu mourned silently.

At this time, Liang Fen also arrived.

Under the guidance of the villagers, Liang Fen led the seven people he gathered to the grave where Fang Qiu was.

Seeing Fang Qiu, the eight people were extremely excited, because John Doe was their idol. Everyone was so ecstatic that they wanted to come forward and say hello.

However, Fang Qiu reached out to stop them.

Then, he asked Liang Fen to tell them about the tragedy of the Xiao Mount village.

After hearing that, the seven people who had been summoned were all dumbfounded.

They also bowed deeply to the graves in the whole place.

Fang Qiu said, “The reason why I asked Liang Fen to gather all of you is that my strength is limited, and the world needs more people to uphold justice.”

The eight of them nodded seriously.

“Are you all ready?” asked Fang Qiu.

“We’re ready.” The eight of them all nodded their heads with determination.

“Okay, then come with me.” Fang Qiu directly booked nine flight tickets to the Dunhuang online and took them straight to Dunhuang because there was a desert. The first step to improve them was to use the desert to create terrain so that they could cultivate in the terrain and constantly make breakthroughs.

On the way, Fang Qiu observed and found that the talents of the eight people were not bad.

In this era, anyone who could rely on themselves and become martial arts practitioners wouldn’t be lacking in talent.

However, although they got talents, these people were only martial arts practitioners because they couldn’t find the path. None of them had broken through to the Martial Superior Realm.

Due to this, the first thing Fang Qiu needed to do was to help all of them break through and become Martial Superiors.

They arrived at Dunhuang.

Entering the desert, Fang Qiu asked the eight people to have a rest and went to form the terrain himself.

After the terrain was completed, he said, “Come on, I’ll help you break through and become a Martial Superior first!”
