Chapter 9 This doctor is actually quite skilled.
Lin Fan didn't know how he got home. He was in terrible condition, covered in injuries and running a fever.
Moreover, his mind was even more chaotic, as if it had been sucked out with a straw, stirred up again and again, and then poured back in.
"How did he get so badly injured?" Lin Shuixiu looked at her son with heartache, applying medicine, changing his clothes, and feeding him.
She couldn't understand it. Her third uncle had always been steady and reliable. He had only taken Xiao Fan to do carpentry work. How could he have become like this after they came back?
This child has matured recently, but also seems to have become more prone to getting into trouble.
Lin Fan stared blankly at the roof of the thatched hut, his nose catching the complex stench inside.
He simply told his mother that he had done the work, received the money, and then it was robbed by bandits; he said nothing more.
Soon, dawn broke, and Lin Shuixiu, who had been busy all night, was fast asleep.
Lin Fan sat up. He still had a fever, and his wound was only bandaged and hadn't healed at all.
But Lin Fan felt much better; at least he could move around.
Lin Fan felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't think of anything. He had many things to think about and many things to do, but he just felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't think of anything.
He didn't dare close his eyes, because if he did, it would be too late.
You'll see a family of three, bathed in the orange glow of the sunset, a picture of happiness.
The scene shifts, and the little girl's face turns ashen, while the couple's bloodshot eyes stare intently at her.
"Lin Si Niang, is Lin Si Niang here?"
Lin Fan heard that familiar sound outside his fence.
The landlord's lackey has arrived; he's usually the one who comes to collect the rent.
Lin Fan glanced at his sleeping mother, then dragged himself out of the room.
In short, ask him for an extension of one day first. He usually collects the rent three days in advance, so it's not difficult.
Lin Fan stepped outside, and the glaring autumn sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes for a moment.
"Hey, Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
The unfamiliar yet concerned voice made Lin Fan's body tremble.
Before his vision returned, he could see clearly the brand-new, oversized robe and the ridiculously large string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.
Lin Fan gritted his teeth, never expecting that the wealthy Lin would come to collect the rent in person today.
The fat and tall Lin the Rich Man smashed through Lin Fan's fence and rushed in, groping Lin Fan and showing concern for him.
Although Lin Fan's face is swollen like a pig's head now, Lin the Rich Man had seen Lin Fan before.
He had long had his eye on this handsome, slender boy.
Lin the landlord was a Buddhist, so he was always kind to others. He not only did not oppress the villagers, but he would also occasionally give porridge to those who had no food.
This is all because Lin the Rich had received guidance from a high-ranking monk in his early years.
He always remembered a saying of the high monk: "Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are brought upon oneself."
Therefore, he never made things difficult for his tenants like other landlords.
And indeed, as the high monk said, Lin the rich man didn't need to do anything; land and money would flow into his pockets endlessly.
Lin, the wealthy man, always believed that this was the result of his good deeds and accumulated virtue.
Even though he had some quirks that weren't accepted by the world, he never forced anyone to follow him. Those beauties all voluntarily stayed by his side.
Lin Fan is not the first, nor will he be the last.
Seeing Lin Fan so badly injured, the wealthy Lin couldn't bear it and sent Lin Luozi to find a doctor.
Before going to see the doctor, the lackey Lin Luozi casually asked, "Xiao Fan, have you prepared your land rent for this year? Is it grain or money?"
Lin Fan had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask for another day's grace. The wealthy Lin naturally smiled and readily agreed.
"Xiao Fan, giving us a day's grace is no problem, but what if we still can't submit it after that day..."
Lin Fan's throat was extremely sore at that moment; every breath felt like swallowing needles, yet he gritted his teeth and said, word by word:
"At that time, Lin Fan is willing to serve as a slave to repay Master Lin's kindness to our family."
Upon hearing this, Lin the Rich Man's fat face jiggled, and he instantly broke into a wide grin.
Lin Shuixiu was awakened by the noise outside. She tidied her hair and immediately went out.
"Mr. Lin, I'm not feeling well and would like to go back and rest first."
Lin Fan had long been unable to bear Lin the rich man's gaze, so as soon as his mother came out, he quickly slipped away and went back inside.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Fan, you should rest well. When the doctor comes, let him examine you thoroughly." Lin the wealthy man watched Lin Fan reluctantly as he went into the house.
Lin Shuixiu exchanged a few words with Lin the Rich Man and then went back inside.
Her face was flushed, and she kept praising how kind and righteous Lin the rich man was.
"Xiao Fan, it's clear that Master Lin truly considers us family. He said he'll definitely arrange an easy job for you, give you a private room, and new clothes."
"He also said that I can come back to see him anytime, and that our rent will be halved in the future."
Lin Fan lay on the ground looking at his mother. He knew that someone like his mother couldn't understand what homosexuality meant.
That's fine, I'll just tell my mother that I'm going to live a life of luxury at the landlord's house.
As she spoke, Lin Shuixiu's voice grew softer.
No matter how benevolent Lin the rich man was, his own children would still have to be sold into slavery, and their descendants would be slaves of the Lin family for generations to come.
They were no longer free. Their family would be enslaved for generations to come.
As she spoke, Lin Shuixiu's eyes welled up with tears.
"There's still one day left. How about we think of another way? We can sell the remaining grain and get about five hundred coins. Then we can borrow some more money from people like Yue'er's family, Er Gou's family, and..."
“If one family lends us a string of cash, then if we have five families, we can borrow the full amount.”
Lin Shuixiu counted on her fingers, as if even counting to five was a difficult task.
“Mom, it’s not difficult to borrow one string of pearls from just one family. But everyone in the village knows each other. If you borrow one string from the first family, the second family definitely won’t lend you another one,” Lin Fan said with difficulty.
Lin Fan had already considered what Lin Shuixiu said; in the best-case scenario, they could only borrow two hundred.
Lin Shuixiu's tears fell uncontrollably, and she began to mutter and curse Lin Fan's biological father again.
Although Lin Fan didn't want to sleep, he was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as his eyelids touched.
When Lin Fan woke up again, all the herbs on his body had been replaced.
His mother told him that the doctor had come.
Lin Fan really felt better this time; his fever had subsided a bit. He didn't feel like he was being roasted alive anymore, and he felt much more relaxed.
Compared to the haphazardly prescribed herbs by my mother, the doctor's medicine was truly effective.
Lin Fan suddenly felt something was wrong with his chrysanthemum, and he suddenly had a terrible guess.
However, Lin Fan quickly calmed down. No matter what, Lin the Rich Man wouldn't be in such a hurry. It must be that the doctor saw that he hadn't woken up, so he just inserted the medicine into his anus.
Lin Fan cautiously asked his mother and learned that only the doctor had come and that Lin the Rich Man had not come again, which put his mind at ease.
"This doctor is quite skilled; he even knows how to use rectal medication," Lin Fan remarked, then put the matter aside.
Lin Fan lay down again, feeling that his life might end today.
Obviously, he will be able to live a better life starting tomorrow, but will he still be himself then?
He had read many stories in which the protagonists once believed that as long as they yielded and compromised, fate would always smile upon them.
But things often don't go as planned.
Lin Fan could imagine what would happen next: he would continue to fantasize and hope, sinking deeper and deeper into depravity.
Thud, like a kitten landing. Lin Fan's heart tightened. Could his house have been burgled in this condition? Let's see how much he can steal.
My mother has already rushed off to work in the fields, and now I'm all alone at home.
Lin Fan calmly got up. He had come to rob him of his virtue, and Lin Fan was no longer afraid.
"Brother Xiaofan, how did you get hurt like this?"
Lin Fan looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression. The girl, dressed in new clothes, looked at him with heartache.
The girl wanted to reach out and touch the wound on Lin Fan's face, but she pulled her hand back halfway through.
Lin Yue'er spun around in place, her plain-colored long dress fluttering up and down. Seeing Lin Fan staring at her silently, she puffed up her cheeks in anger.
"It's me! Moon, you...you don't recognize me, do you!"
