Chapter 19 Strange Child

Unfortunately, after a few days, they were constantly attacked by yellow stone worms while mining yellow stone. These yellow stone worms feed on yellow stone, and there is a worm king among them, which is very powerful.

About ten days ago, a team led by a middle-aged man came here to look for the Yellowstone Worm, because it was said that the worm core in the body of the Yellowstone Worm King could detoxify thousand-year-old snake venom.

The middle-aged man and his group headed for the volcano, and they were gone for ten days. The villagers thought the middle-aged man and his group were dead, but they didn't expect him to suddenly appear now. In any case, this was to help their village get rid of the monster, and they all needed to save the father and daughter.

Lin Feng followed the others, watching with concern as the father and daughter were placed on the hospital beds. After confirming which clinic they were in, Lin Feng returned to his lodgings with peace of mind.

Upon returning to Uncle Li's home, Lin Feng immediately got down to work. He helped clean the yard, sort out chores, and even assisted Uncle Li in preparing dinner. Uncle Li praised Lin Feng's diligence and enthusiasm, and he enjoyed a pleasant and harmonious conversation with the family.

A few days later, the father and daughter finally woke up and were chatting with the doctor. Lin Feng hadn't been idle during these days either, running to the door of the clinic every day to stare. Although he couldn't see anything, he still stared at the door. When the clinic staff discovered him, he immediately ran away.

While the father and daughter were chatting with the doctor at the clinic, Lin Feng appeared again. He kept staring at the middle-aged man. Not long after, the clinic staff noticed him and shouted at him, "That kid!" This shout successfully attracted the middle-aged man and the little girl.

Lin Feng didn't run away after being discovered. Instead, he stared at the father and daughter without blinking. When the people from the clinic were about to approach, he quickly fled, fearing that he would be caught.

The middle-aged man found it very strange. They had very little contact with the villagers here, so why was this child staring at them? It was as if he had something to say to him. His face was full of questions, and now he could only ask the doctor at the clinic, "Mr. Zhong, what's going on with that child?"

Zhong Lao is the doctor at this clinic, and the only doctor with the most experience in the village. He is about sixty or seventy years old, with half his hair gray and only a few white strands in his beard. He is still very healthy, but a little older. He has several apprentices, some of whom have opened branches in other parts of the village, and some of whom help Zhong Lao in the clinic.

The one who just discovered Lin Feng is Master Zhong’s youngest disciple, who is probably only in his twenties. He became a disciple late, so he is still in the initial stage of learning medical skills. Therefore, he can only do odd jobs and cannot treat patients.

Master Zhong was also very confused, but before he could open his mouth, his young apprentice spoke first, "We don't know what happened to this kid. We only know that since you were injured and came here, he has been running to the door every day to watch. He ran away after we found him."

"He didn't say anything? He didn't do anything?" asked the middle-aged man in confusion.

"Just like today, he was discovered and ran away. He ran very fast and we couldn't catch up with him." Master Zhong's young apprentice also chased after him, but he didn't catch up in the end and gave up.

After listening to Master Zhong's apprentice, the middle-aged man took out two coins and placed them on the table. He then said to Master Zhong, "Master Zhong, this is the medical expenses for the past few days. If you have any extra, please do me a favor and find out where that child lives. I want to see what he wants to say to me."

Overwhelmed, Elder Zhong pushed the coin-like object back in front of the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. Chen, you're too polite. The medical expenses are only a few Xuan coins. You gave me too many Xuan Jing coins. Please take them back."

"It's my duty, just accept it." When Mr. Chen saw Mr. Zhong push the black crystal coin back, he quickly pushed it back.

Seeing this, Zhong Lao pushed back and said, "Mr. Chen, you came here to help us and got injured. How can I accept your money? Especially since it's Xuanjing coins. I really can't accept it."

Seeing that Mr. Zhong was unwilling to accept it, Mr. Chen stopped pushing it. "We will remember Mr. Zhong's kindness. Next time we come back, we will bring you some yellow medicine stone and the essence of the yellow stone worm."

Master Zhong did not agree, but said to his disciple, "Shouren, go check and see where that child is now."

"Yes, Master!" Shouren did not dare to neglect after receiving the order from Master Zhong. He put down the things in his hands and walked outside immediately.

Lin Feng ran back to Uncle Li's house and continued working as if nothing had happened.

Li Yanxian had spent a few days with Lin Feng and truly felt that he was a good child. Sometimes, he even felt that Lin Feng didn't seem like a child. He was only ten years old, an age when many children only knew how to play, but he knew many things, some of which he hadn't learned in decades. This child was definitely extraordinary.

Li Yanxian also asked Lin Feng, but he changed the subject and was unwilling to say more. Li Yanxian had no choice but to stop asking. As long as the person had no problems with his character, it would not do any harm to his family.

Such mature behavior makes people think that Lin Feng may have been alone for a long time and has learned more, so they won’t think too much about it and are just more interested in him.

Shouren's investigation was also very efficient. It didn't take long for him to find Lin Feng. When they were about to approach, Li Yan was the first to come forward. He saluted Shouren and Mr. Chen, and then said, "Mr. Chen, I am very sorry for having you here."

Mr. Chen replied, "No, no, you're welcome, old man."

Mr. Chen's daughter pointed at Lin Feng and said, "Uncle, is that your son?"

Li Yan took a look first, and then answered truthfully about everything that had happened since he met Lin Feng. He was afraid that Lin Feng had a relationship with Mr. Chen, which made him, an honest and upright civilian, a little afraid to offend.

"So that's it! This kid is very smart. I'm very interested in him." After hearing this, Mr. Chen's curiosity was immediately piqued.

Lin Feng continued working, ignoring the people watching him. He knew full well that his debt to Uncle Li had been repaid, and now he simply wanted to do more for him. He had found what he wanted; all he had to do was follow Mr. Chen to the yellow medicine stone mine and eliminate the yellow stone worms. Then he could return with the yellow medicine stone.

By that time, their Lin family will have a hot weapon that can kill even a master, and they will have some say in the entire Qingmu City.

Two days ago, when Mr. Chen was still in a coma, Lin Feng had already formulated the proportion of black powder. He only needed to continue processing to make explosives, artillery, etc. Lin Feng had a certain understanding of the power of these things. After all, in his era, the emergence of thermal weapons was equivalent to entering the next era.
