The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1197

Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197
The sky brightened, and the mountain forest regained its vitality.
This morning, my second uncle called to say that the road from the village to the town has opened to traffic.
Lin Yifan looked at Sun Xiaohu being carried onto the car, a slight, relaxed smile on his lips.
"I don’t have medicine at hand, you’d better go to the county hospital for a couple of injections. After all, it’s surgery, so don’t take it lightly. Make sure not to feed him water or food on the way—wait until you reach the hospital."
After repeatedly advising Huzi’s parents on the precautions, he stepped on the small path and started walking towards the village.
The wildflowers in the forest carried a refreshing fragrance.
The fragrance of the earth is something only those who live on this land can smell.
Lin Yifan, who hadn’t slept all night, wasn’t too tired.
He casually picked a few herbs, and suddenly his phone rang from his pocket.
On the other end, Shen Shiyao’s tone was gentle.
"How’s it going over there? I have a meeting in the county today. Do you need me to bring anything back?"
"I’ve handled everything here. Be careful on your way. I’m just going home to catch up on some sleep."
"Okay, I’ll come back to see you after my meeting."
After hanging up, Lin Yifan continued to walk forward.
He was already calculating his next move in his mind.
As a Soul Suppressing Man, he had to stay in the village, but it doesn’t mean the Soul Suppressing Man has to live in poverty.
He needed to do something for a living to ensure he could survive first.
Last night, his second uncle said he would get him a piece of land to build a clinic, and the village would give him start-up funds.
But first, he had to resolve his mother’s life extension technique. Counting the days, those two luckless fellows should be coming.
The life extension technique involves stealing the blessings of others to prolong one’s own life.
Doing this seriously depletes one’s karmic merits, and what he has accumulated surely isn’t enough.
He didn’t want to become the unfortunate guy punished by heaven, so he had to hasten to get the money back.
Plus, with the karmic debts caused by Qian Jiahao and Su Man, it should be enough for compensation.
Just as he reached the village entrance, a voice came from behind.
"Yifan!"
A chubby young boy ran over barefoot.
He was only wearing shorts and a vest, his face and hands dirty.
But his smile was quite naive.
"Little Niu, you’ve grown stronger."
Lin Yifan pinched his chubby cheek.
"Yifan, my time is almost up."
Little Niu smiled simply, a statement only the two of them understood.
"I’ve already found you a stand-in. We can proceed in a few days. Are you hungry? I’ll take you to buy some good food."
He held Little Niu’s hand, and the two of them headed to the village’s small shop.
Lin Yifan casually grabbed a bunch of snacks and handed them to Little Niu.
As Little Niu wolfed down the food, Xu Fengxian’s voice came from not too far away.
"All you know is eat, you don’t even know how to say thank you."
She wore a black dress today, naturally exuding an ethereal aura.
The loose neckline revealed an enticing collarbone.
Beneath her rounded shoulders, the semi-transparent long sleeves made her fair arms faintly visible, full of allure.
Her willow waist swayed lightly, indescribably enchanting.
The knee-length skirt revealed slender legs as fine as jade.
Her delicate skin appeared even fairer against the dress.
Her small feet in sandals, with toes painted bright red.
Before she arrived, a fragrance had already captivated people.
"You, fierce."
Little Niu looked up, seemingly understanding, yet not quite.
After muttering, he continued to eat and drink heartily.
"You ungrateful rascal, when have I ever been fierce to you? Every day you’re sneaking food from who knows where, getting fatter than a pig."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fengxian put her hands on her hips and shouted.
Little Niu merely stuck out his tongue, clutching his food, and ran away.
In a flash, he was gone again, off to who knows where.
"You little scoundrel, next time I catch you, I’ll break your legs!"
Xu Fengxian was well-known as a fiery pepper.
If Lin Yifan hadn’t been nearby, she would’ve charged up to hit him.
Lin Yifan took the payment code from the shop and scanned five hundred yuan.
This money was the consultation fee Huzi’s mom insisted on giving him this morning.
"Boss lady, from now on, if Little Niu comes, just give him some food and deduct it from the money. If it’s used up, just come to me for more."
Xu Fengxian was still a bit dissatisfied, pouting.
"Spending so much on a fool, have you struck it rich?"
"He’s the village guardian. It’s a tough job."
Lin Yifan smiled and took a drink as he walked away.
"Yes, yes, back when I first got married, Little Niu would bang on my door in the middle of the night, scaring me so much I couldn’t sleep well for several nights. Later, Taishan wanted to beat him, but your dad stopped him, saying he was the village guardian and that banging on the door was for our good. Back then, we didn’t know what it was about, but no one dared to disobey your dad, so it was left unresolved. What exactly is a village guardian?"
Xu Fengxian immediately caught up, recalling events from years ago.
"It’s said village guardians were those with heavy sins in their past lives, but at the moment of death, they awaken and come to the human world this life for penance. They shield the village from disasters, bearing all the misfortune themselves. This life’s suffering is for fortune in the next life, but our village’s Little Niu is far more formidable than those from other villages."
Lin Yifan explained with a mysterious smile.
That was more or less the gist.
After all, many secrets could only be kept in his heart.
"Ah, the same old superstitious stuff. A fool is just a fool, why make it so mysterious? You just exposed Old Li’s deception yesterday, but that old rascal is shamelessly boasting in the village’s WeChat group about how capable he is, claiming he retrieved Little Huzi’s soul. You went through so much stress to save him, and he goes around stealing all the credit, with people in the group cheering him on."
This matter made Xu Fengxian angry just thinking about it.
"Karma cycles, retribution has a path. It’s not that it doesn’t come; it’s just not time yet."
Lin Yifan seemed indifferent.
"That’s right, Liu the Sixth is facing retribution now. You wouldn’t believe it. Last night, Liu Laosan’s wife blocked him at the village entrance with a cleaver, insisting on chopping him up. Several people couldn’t pull her away. After finally taking the cleaver away, the madwoman clawed up Liu Laosan’s face. Liu the Sixth tried to stop her, but Liu Laosan’s wife didn’t spare him either, slapping him senseless. He’s still kneeling in punishment at Liu Laoda’s house. I was laughing so much I had to go back and put on two face masks to recover."
Speaking of this, Xu Fengxian couldn’t help but laugh again.
"In the Liu Family, only Boss Liu behaves himself. The rest... not so much."
Lin Yifan sighed.
The village wasn’t big, but there were plenty of intrigues.
"At least these few days, things might be quieter. You’ve worked hard through the night, let me take care of you a bit."
Seeing they were near Xu Fengxian’s house, she suddenly grabbed Lin Yifan’s arm, speaking in a low voice.
Her rosy cheek was flushed with a blush.
The sentiment was evident in her watery eyes.
Having failed last night, she was determined to have her way in the daylight.
"Alright, let’s see how good your service is, sister."
With mutual affection, everything naturally fell into place.
Seeing no one around, Lin Yifan wrapped Xu Fengxian in his arms.
He pushed the door open to the courtyard, then closed the door behind them.
"Little scoundrel, you’re quick and clean with it."
Tightly tucked in Lin Yifan’s arm, Xu Fengxian shivered all over.
Lin Yifan said no more, picking up the shy beauty, heading towards the room.
