The Latest Chapter of Urban Immortal Doctor

I even angered heaven by just bowing to a Buddha!

Lin Feng has been very depressed recently.

I can't afford a house, and I can tolerate not having friends for now, but what really bothers me is that whenever it's my shift, it gets super busy!

It's bad enough that I'm incredibly busy, but the worst part is that over the past week, there have been either patients discharged or deaths in Lin Feng's class. In just one week, three patients have died!

In a hospital, a few deaths don't amount to much after all, as life and death are determined by fate and wealth by heaven. But when three people die in the same department within a week, under the watch of the same doctor, it becomes quite different.

Just moments ago, Lin Feng was called in for a meeting with the chief director. Though the chief director knew that the three patient deaths had nothing to do with Lin Feng, he couldn't resist the pressure from medical staff and the hospital administration. The chief director reluctantly agreed to go through the motions, just to avoid any rumors or negative talk.

At this moment, Lam Fung was sitting dejectedly in the doctor's office, staring blankly at the computer screen in front of him.

"Doctor Lin, you look downcast. What's the matter?" Nurse Shen Mei happened to pass by the doctor's office and saw Lin Feng staring blankly, so she walked over and asked.

Lin Feng glanced at Shen Mei. This young nurse was born in 1986, but she had been working for five years, a year earlier than him. The two of them had a pretty good relationship.

"Well, what else could it be? It's because three people from my class died recently. The headmaster just talked to me."

"Was the Big Boss mad at you?"

"That's not the case. This wasn't my responsibility to begin with. The patient's death wasn't my fault; it was a change in their condition, and resuscitation was unsuccessful. Besides, I have several senior doctors above me! The chief director just encouraged me." Lin Feng said a few words simply.

Shen Mei immediately understood what Lin Feng meant. This kind of thing happened from time to time. Although the headmaster didn't criticize Lin Feng, he definitely had a knot in his heart.

"Forget about it, don't be down! How about I treat you to a meal another day?" Shen Mei smiled and said, "But I think your luck has been really bad lately. Why don't you burn some incense? That might ward off the bad luck and turn things around!"

"Incense? I'd rather not. You actually believe this?" Lin Feng just smiled and waved it off.

She stood up and walked towards the doctor's office, saying as she went, "Besides, your heart hasn't been good lately. Why not go to a temple in the countryside and burn some incense, pray to Buddha? It wouldn't hurt to take a break for yourself!"

"Go for a walk in the countryside?" Lin Feng couldn't help but savor Shen Mei's words, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

The next few days, Lin Feng was as busy as ever. To be fair, hospitals are always bustling with activity, but the issue was that his department's colleagues were always relaxed. Whenever it was Lin Feng's shift, things suddenly became chaotic!

This day Lin Feng was off, when he woke up in the morning, he saw that the weather outside was overcast, without a single gust of wind, giving people a feeling of suffocation and depression.

Lin Feng was feeling restless and bored after surfing the internet. Suddenly, he remembered what Shen Mei had said a few days ago, and his heart skipped a beat.

"It's nothing to do anyway, might as well go for a walk!" Lin Feng thought to himself, randomly searching for hiking routes online.

It is said that the most effective place to burn incense in the local area is Longze Temple.

Thinking of this, Lam Fung chose Longzhest Temple without hesitation.

Longzang Temple has a long history, rumored to be over a thousand years old. However, Lin Feng wasn't interested in that. He just wanted to burn some incense, pay his respects to the Buddha, and cleanse his bad luck.

Having paid the fifty yuan entrance fee, Lin Feng stepped into Longzang Temple. Because of the weather, there were obviously more people at Longzang Temple today than usual.

Now the sky is drizzling, and the few tourists on the road have quickly disappeared. Lin Feng came here to relax, but the light rain added a touch of melancholy. Long Zhe Temple has many ancient trees, the most famous being a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, a thousand-year-old banyan tree, a thousand-year-old cypress, and two Qiao Yulan. Lin Feng followed the central axis to the end, which was a pavilion-style building called Bi Lu Pavilion, where many Buddhas were enshrined.

Longzhang Temple has been commercialized, so visitors are not allowed to burn incense in the main halls or side halls. They can only hold incense as a symbol and bow. Due to the weather, there was only Lin Feng at the Polu Pavilion.

Lin Feng suddenly saw among all the Buddhas a Buddha of Medicine Buddha, who was also known as the Great Healing King. He couldn't help but feel moved and quickly walked to the front of the Medicine Buddha, kneeling devoutly with his head bowed, and softly muttering in his mouth: "I say Grandmaster, I am just a small doctor, it's not easy to earn some money, it's purely for making a living. I never thought about getting rich from this medical profession. Let alone buying a house, I haven't even found a decent one yet! I feel so miserable myself, can you please show me some mercy and make my work easier?"

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a sudden "BOOM!" thunderclap erupted from the sky!

The deafening clap of thunder startled Lin Feng!

"No way? I was just complaining. Who wouldn't want to avoid hard work? Even if you weren't satisfied, you didn't have to scare me with thunder! Alright, since you're unhappy, then I take back what I said, okay? You just rest, and I'll go first." Lin Feng wasn't an atheist, but he didn't believe Buddha existed. However, out of instinctual piety, Lin Feng still bowed a few times, then stood up and walked outside.

Lin Feng hadn't brought an umbrella, and it was only drizzling at the moment. Therefore, Lin Feng decided to return to the bus station quickly. After getting on the bus, he wouldn't be afraid of the rain getting heavier.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng quickly descended the mountain along the way he came. As for those famous ancient trees by the roadside, steeped in history, Lin Feng had neither the time nor the heart to admire them one by one.

Just as Lin Feng ran to the Forest of Steles and was about to leave the Tanze Temple, a sudden old man appeared on the roadside, blocking Lin Feng's path!

Lam Fung hastily stopped his movements, but because of the rainy weather and Lam Fung's faster descent speed, he didn't slow down. "Bang!" He collided with the old man!

"Ouch!" The old man cried out in surprise and fell to the ground!

"Hey, young man, watch where you're going! Didn't you see the old man ahead of you? Ouch, it hurts to death!" The old man sat on the ground, his hands constantly clutching his left foot. His face was contorted in pain, and he kept complaining.

"Can you blame me? You were the one who suddenly ran out!" Lin Feng was speechless, but he still said, "I'm really sorry, old man! Are you hurt? I'm a doctor, let me take a look. If you're injured, I'll take you to the hospital."

Lin Feng said this, pretending to squat down and examine the old man's left foot.

"A doctor? No wonder you're so reckless! Nowadays, doctors in hospitals are arrogant, have bad attitudes towards patients, and accept bribes. They also take kickbacks from drug sales, and patients have to rely on your faces. If they don't like you, they won't treat you properly! Oh my, I dare not go to the hospital with you! If we went to your hospital, even if I'm sick, you and your colleagues would say everything is fine! I'm not stupid!" The old man shook his head fiercely, resolutely opposing.

"...."

Lin Feng was speechless!

"Uncle, hospitals and doctors aren't as bad as you think. Yes, there are some doctors who take bribes and kickbacks, but those are just a few. Most doctors are actually good! Besides, if you go to the hospital for a check-up and something is really wrong, the doctor won't hide it or make things up!" Lin Feng didn't want to explain too much. People today misunderstand doctors too deeply. But this old man had fallen after being bumped by him, so it was necessary to persuade him to go to the hospital for a check-up."

"Come on with that! Doctors and officials these days are all the same, protecting each other! I wouldn't dare go for a check-up with you!" The old man still refused.

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Then let's do this. You tell me which hospital you want to go to, and we'll go there for a check-up. That way, your elder will feel more at ease, right?"

"Humph! Young man, you're trying to pull the wool over my eyes! Who knows if you have connections at other hospitals? I'm not falling for your tricks!" The old man shook his head repeatedly, disagreeing.

"What should we do?" Lin Feng was helpless.

The old man pretended to think for a moment, then said: "How about this? You give me the money, and I'll go see a doctor myself. That way, you won't know which hospital I go to, and I won't be afraid of you getting that doctor to target me!"

Lin Feng thought to himself, "Good heavens, so this old geezer wants money!"

However, Lam Fung couldn't do anything about it. As the sky grew darker and a storm was imminent, staying any longer would only get him soaked to the bone and wouldn't lead to any results.

Thinking about this, Lin Feng asked, "Well then! I have two hundred yuan here, old man. Go to the hospital and get an X-ray of your ankle to see if there's a problem."

"Two hundred dollars? Where is that enough? That amount of money isn't even enough to buy a meal! If my legs were broken, I'd go there and ask you for more?" The old man’s face was full of contempt.

"Two hundred bucks is enough for you to make a film! And based on my observation, your legs seem fine." Lin Feng's voice grew increasingly agitated. This old geezer was getting too cocky.

"You said it was fine, so it's fine, right?" The old man scoffed and said, "But seeing you weren't intentional just now, let me tell you this! I can't walk properly now, even going to the hospital requires a taxi. Such a long distance, a taxi would cost hundreds of yuan. Just give me five hundred yuan! Then we'll call it even! Otherwise, we'll report this to the police! Let them judge!"

"Five hundred? You're going to rob someone!" Lin Feng thought to himself.

But it was Lam Fung's night shift, and it was already noon. If he went to the police station again, even if nothing happened to him, his evening shift would be delayed.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng sighed and took out his money from his pocket. He counted it and there were exactly 520 yuan.

"Did this old man just happen to ask for it, or did he know I had exactly five hundred bucks in my pocket? I don't even know how much money I have myself!" Lin Feng muttered to himself, but his hand quickly paid the old man.

"Old man, you should go to the hospital yourself! I'm leaving now." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he went around the old man and started going down the mountain.

"Hold on there, young man! What's the rush?" The old man had stopped Lin Feng from leaving after borrowing money.

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks, furrowed his brows, and turned back to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Heh heh, young man, I see your face is pale and you look troubled. Haven't you been having good luck lately?" The old man stood up at this moment, walked to Lin Feng's side, and asked with a smile. Just looking at the old man's agile feet, there was no sign of injury whatsoever.

Lin Feng had known all along that he had been tricked by this old geezer, but there was nothing he could do.

"What does this have to do with you?" Lin Feng's face was displeased. After all, who wouldn't feel bad after being cheated?

"Hey hey, young man, don't be so hasty! You seem like a decent person, old me will give you something to ward off bad luck!" The old man said, pulling out a jade pendant from his pocket and handing it to Lin Feng.

"Uncle, as you can see, I only have twenty yuan left. I can't afford your jade pendant." Lin Feng said hurriedly.

"How do young people speak these days? Old man, I'm only showing you this heirloom jade because I think you're a good person! How can you think like that?" The old man looked furious.

"Well, thank you for your kindness, I'm going to leave now. It's about to pour!" Lin Feng didn't have time to waste with this old geezer. He had to get moving.

“Don’t rush!” The old man grabbed Lin Feng’s hand and said, “This is my family heirloom jade! It can avert danger and bring good fortune! It’s most suitable for you!”

"But I really don't have any money! Look, it's already twenty dollars up there. If you agree, I'll give you twenty dollars!" Lin Feng was about to cry, how did he meet such a person!

"Twenty pieces? That's a bit much!" The old man couldn't help but look Lin Feng up and down, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"Alright, twenty it is! You seem like a good young man, so I'll take a small loss!" The old man said this, took the twenty yuan from Lin Feng's hand, shoved the so-called ancient jade into Lin Feng's palm, and then turned, leaving without looking back.

Lin Feng looked at the so-called ancient jade, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. What was this ancient jade? It was no different from a stone! However, it was something he had bought for twenty yuan, so he couldn't just throw it away. Seeing the heavy rain approaching, Lin Feng hurriedly hurried down the mountain.

Just as Lin Feng's figure disappeared at the foot of the mountain, the old man from before suddenly appeared on the mountain path. Looking at Lin Feng's retreating figure, he couldn't help but smile. Then, his entire person suddenly vanished without a trace!
