Chapter 1028 The Country Has Not Abandoned Us!

Changshui International Airport, Spring City, Nanjiang.

After nearly four hours of flight, Fang Qiu finally landed safely at Changshui International Airport.

Fang Qiu got off the plane.

And he immediately got in a car that he had called in advance and then rushed all the way to the city.

Since Leprosy Village was very far away from Spring City, no taxi driver was willing to drive to Leprosy Village. Fang Qiu got off at the bus passenger station in the city and then he went to the village by bus.

More than two hours later, Fang Qiu finally arrived at Leprosy Village.

There were no highways here. There was yellow mud everywhere.

This place was rejected by outsiders, but that was more than 60 years ago, so its development, although slow, was still ongoing. With the help of the government, the original mud houses had all become brick houses. Although they were all single-storey houses, they made this place look less impoverished.

Fang Qiu arrived at the entrance of the village.

Without hesitating, he released his Divine Consciousness, which covered an area of 20 kilometers around him. After searching the area carefully, he found no traces of martial arts practitioners in the area.

“It seems that the members of the Nirvana Organization are not here.”

After murmuring to himself, Fang Qiu stepped into the village.

However, as soon as he entered, Fang Qiu immediately felt a very strange atmosphere.

From a distance, the village was filled with houses with their walls painted white, making the village look refreshing and bright under the sun. However, when he entered the village, Fang Qiu found that the whole village was dilapidated. Wherever he passed, there were many broken objects, such as tables, chairs, ceramic wares, kettles, and so on, in front of each house.

From the looks of it, the patients had thrown these items out and broken them.

The strangest thing was that the whole village was enveloped by an inexplicable and depressing atmosphere in addition to these broken things. And it was full of the smell of death.

Under this oppressive atmosphere, the whole village was so quiet that one could almost hear a pin drop.

Fang Qiu walked through the entrance of the village.

After taking a few steps, Fang Qiu saw a person.

It was an old man.

At this moment, the old man was sitting in front of the door of a house, holding a fan made of bamboo strips, fanning the several pots arranged in front of him in a row.

Fang Qiu took a closer look. He could clearly see the disability leprosy had left the old man with.

“Who are you?”

Seeing Fang Qiu, the old man immediately frowned and became vigilant.

“Hello, sir.”

Fang Qiu walked forward with a smile and said, “I’m a doctor. I’m here to treat the patients.”

“Treat the patients?”

The old man stared at Fang Qiu for a long time and then asked with a frown, “How did you come in? Who sent you in? You dare enter our village?”

“I dare.”

Fang Qiu nodded with certainty and said, “I’m aware that this is Leprosy Village. I also know that this village was established by a group of patients who had recovered from Leprosy. But I’m not afraid, because I’m a doctor. I know that there aren’t any active cases of leprosy in this village now. It’s just like any other village. Why would I be afraid to come here?”

“You don’t know what happened.”

The old man glanced at Fang Qiu as though he couldn’t quite believe that Fang Qiu was here.

Fang Qiu understood the old man’s disbelief.

This old man was disabled because of leprosy. Judging from his age, it was very likely that he had been around when the whole village was rejected by others, which was why he was hostile to outsiders.

Fang Qiu came close to the old man and said, “Sir, I heard there’s a strange disease in this village. I didn’t see anyone else here. Why don’t you let me take your pulse first?”

“Aren’t you afraid of being infected?” asked the old man.

“I’m a doctor. I’m not afraid!”

Fang Qiu said with a gentle smile and then took the initiative to put out his hand.

Seeing this, the old man didn’t hesitate and cooperatively stretched out his hand to let Fang Qiu feel his pulse.

As soon as Fang Qiu touched this old man’s hand, he frowned.

Seeing the way Fang Qiu felt the pulse, the old man was slightly stunned, but then he seemed to understand it.

A minute later, the pulse diagnosis was over.

Fang Qiu found that the old man was very weak. But apart from his physical weakness, there was nothing wrong with his body. Fang Qiu couldn’t find the cause of the disease; it was as if the old man was not ill at all.

“Sir, do you have this strange disease?” Fang Qiu asked.

“I’m just a frail old man; how can I escape this disease?”

The old man told Fang Qiu that he was sick indeed. Then he sighed softly and said to Fang Qiu, “Young man, judging from your method of feeling the pulse just now, I can see that you are indeed a doctor, and an excellent one at that. But you can’t cure the disease here. You’d better leave now. Everyone in this village has been infected. You are a good person. Don’t get infected because of your kindness. Or your whole life would be ruined.”

“Sir, since I’m here, I won’t leave. I’ll try my best to find the cause of the disease and find a way to cure it,” Fang Qiu answered.

Then, he looked at the pots that the old man used for boiling medicine and sniffed them carefully.

“This medicine?”

After smelling the medicine, Fang Qiu frowned more tightly.

He found that the ingredients of the medicine the old man was boiling were quite complicated and completely different from the ingredients of the other ordinary medicine.

“Sir, is this medicine effective?” Fang Qiu asked.

“No,” said the old man with a shake of his head. “It can’t cure the disease. It can only keep the patients alive for the time being.”

After saying these words, the old man waved the bamboo fan in his hand again and said to Fang Qiu, “Young man, you’d better leave quickly. This place is really not safe for you. You are still young. Don’t be ruined by this strange disease. Once you are infected, you can’t get rid of it!”

“Don’t worry, old man. I’m a doctor. I know what I’m doing.”

Fang Qiu answered with a gentle smile and then asked, “Sir, have you seen any suspicious people in the village or nearby recently?”

Hearing this, the old man was slightly startled. He seemed to want to say something. But when the words reached his mouth, he shook his head and didn’t say anything.

Seeing the old man’s appearance, Fang Qiu could clearly know that the old man didn’t want to tell him the truth. Moreover, Fang Qiu could sense the vigilance when the old man looked at him. It seemed like the old man was afraid of something.

“Sir” Fang Qiu looked straight at the old man and said in a serious tone, “To tell you the truth, I was sent by the country to help you; I am not an ordinary doctor.”

After saying these words, Fang Qiu grabbed a head-sized stone from the ground, put it under his feet in front of the old man, and then threw his fist at it fiercely.

“Bang!” A clear and crisp sound was heard.

After Fang Qiu threw his fist, the head-sized stone immediately shattered.

In this way, a large piece of rock was turned into pieces in front of the old man!

The old man was shocked.

After a long time, the old man asked, “Really?”

The old man realized what happened and stood up with great excitement. He stared at Fang Qiu and his eyes were full of hope.

“Yes.” Fang Qiu nodded with a smile.

“It is real.” The old man was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. He was even trembling all over, and he kept muttering, “The country didn’t forget us. The country didn’t forget us!”

“We see the children of Huaxia as family.”

Fang Qiu comforted the old man and then he asked, “Now, can you tell me what happened here? If you don’t tell me, I can’t help you.”

“Sure, I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you everything.”

The old man sat down, took a breath, and said, “Here’s the thing. Before we get this strange disease, someone in our village went up the mountain to collect herbs and he met a few people. Those people said that they came to see us and give out daily necessities for free to our village. At that time, they gave us a lot of daily necessities and several bottles of nutrient drinks. They also told us that the drink could help eliminate the lingering symptoms of leprosy. At that time, everyone was very grateful. In order to recover, everyone consumed the drink. Some people were afraid that their children would suffer from leprosy in the future, so they also drank it. This strange disease appeared in the village after that.”

After saying these words, the old man heaved a long sigh and then continued, “No one expected this disease to be contagious. Those who didn’t consume the drink were infected too.

“When I learned about this, I also wanted to see what this drink was. At that time, I asked the villager, the one who went up to the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, for a small bottle. But when I drank it, I found nothing.

“Fortunately, I only drank a little, so my symptoms are mild. The people who consumed a large amount of the drink have all died.”

As he spoke, the old man had a pained expression on his face. And he continued, “It was all my fault. If I had tasted it earlier and reminded everyone earlier, so many people wouldn’t have died. Unfortunately, it was too late. After knowing that there was something wrong with the drink, I warned the villagers not to drink it again.

“After that, I went up the mountain and collected these herbs. After drinking this medicine, the people here managed to survive for now.”

When he heard this, Fang Qiu’s face had completely darkened.

Just as he thought, the disease was indeed brought here by someone.

Li Ji had told him that there were traces of the Nirvana Organization’s activities here. Fang Qiu was instantly sure that someone from the Nirvana Organization had given the villagers the drink.

These people were so crazy that they even hurt the people of Leprosy Village!

“What can our country do for us?”

After that, the old man looked at Fang Qiu expectantly.

Hearing this, Fang Qiu shook his head slightly.

When he saw this, the look of expectation instantly faded from the old man’s face, and a look of disappointment emerged in his eyes.

“There is no cure for this disease for the time being. But the country has sent me here, so I will try my best to see if I can find a way to deal with this disease,” Fang Qiu said.

The old man shook his head and said bitterly, “It’s not that easy. We don’t even know what the disease is.”

“Wait a minute. I’ll make a call.”

Seeing the old man’s helplessness, Fang Qiu stood up, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Li Ji’s number.
