The Medical Guru

Chapter 1237 Good Things Happen to Good People

Fang Qiu hurried back to the primitive tribe.

As expected, he saw that the primitive tribe who left at noon had returned. Although not all of them, more than half of them returned.

These people were the ones who produced medicine in the shed.

It seemed they were determined to refine all of the herbs they had collected.

Seeing this…

Fang Qiu was not in a hurry to stop them. Instead, he patiently waited aside.

After all, this was the only way for them to make money. All the money they earned was used to build houses, pay for electricity, buy electrical appliances, and so on.

Once they left this place and lost this business, they would have no income.

On top of all this…

When they lived here, they could hunt and plant as they liked.

But they would not have a way out if they moved somewhere else without money.

Therefore…

Fang Qiu stood aside and waited.

There were not many herbs left in the shed. It wouldn’t take long for them to stir-fry the rest.

While waiting…

Fang Qiu logged into the world underground-force forum with his phone.

He took a closer look.

All the people posting on the forum were in a frenzy.

“Team up with me!!! A-class wizard, let’s go to the ruin in Egyptt together!”

“I need two S-class team members. We can wipe out anyone blocking our way and loot the treasures in the relic!”

“Any experts? I’ll contribute money, and you can contribute the labor. I can give you as much money as you want. There is no limit on the number of players; each can get a deposit of 100 million Murica dollars. Help me get the treasures in the ruin and break through to S-class. Then, each will be rewarded with 300 million Murica dollars!”

“Those experts who remained incognito all over the world and who do not like to be restrained by any forces, it’s time for you to show your great strength. I’m willing to offer you 500 million Murica dollars if you take me with you, and we will split the treasures fifty-fifty!”

“There must be priceless treasures in the ancient Egyptt ruin. I’ve reached the S-class. Friends with equal strength who want to search for treasures together, please contact me. Our team of five people still has two vacant places!”

If Fang Qiu had only read the post titles, he would have thought that he mistakenly got into a forum for raising and expanding the armed forces instead of the world underground-force forum.

Rich people were eager to squander their wealth, while those with great strength were frantically looking for team members.

Soon, the entire world underground-force forum became like a large-scale trade fair.

Even more surprising…

Some people were keen on bidding for prices.

Experts were becoming increasingly scarce.

However, only those with weaker strengths would think in that way.

Real experts didn’t care about the price offered by the rich. What they wanted were the treasures in the ruin. Only those strapped for money were willing to fight for whoever could pay them.

Only a few people desired to adventure for money. In this case, whenever one expert chose to get employed, countless people would stand out to compete with him. The price for hiring an S-level expert had at one time soared to 500 or even 600 million Murica dollars!

The large numbers startled countless people.

600 million Murica dollars…

That was more than three billion Huaxia coins.

It would be impossible for any reasonable person to spend this vast sum of money in their lifetime!

After viewing these posts…

“Alas…”

Fang Qiu drew a deep sigh, shook his head, and said with emotion, “People die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. Indeed.”

He was done.

Fang Qiu logged out of the forum and put away his phone.

He knew it was a trap, but he couldn’t overlook it.

This trap was too enticing to refuse. He was not the only one; the other people who knew it was a trap would also readily walk into it.

He could step forward with the identity of John Doe and try to explain everything and talk the others into giving it up. Even so, all the others driven by their burning desires would think he did it out of pure selfish intent — John Doe wanted to pocket the relic alone.

Therefore…

There was nothing he could do about it.

He could only do was do what he should do!

Fang Qiu put away his phone.

He waited for another half an hour before the people of the primitive tribe finally finished roasting all the herbs.

“You have been standing here all along. What’s the matter?”

After he finished the production of the medicine, the chief of the primitive tribe came over to Fang Qiu and asked.

“Didn’t you all leave already?”

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why did you come back?”

“Thank you for your concern.”

The chief chuckled and said, “The drug maker found a place nearby for us to settle down. It’s only three kilometers away from here. We can move there for the time being. So we can go on making medicine here. If there is a disaster, the government will protect us and evacuate us from there as soon as possible.”

“Three kilometers?”

Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Hell, no!”

“Hmm?”

The chief was taken aback and asked, “Why?”

“Things will be far more severe than you think.”

In a solemn voice, Fang Qiu continued, “Things are getting worse. More people will come here. They are much more powerful than those you have met before. This place is under nobody’s jurisdiction, so killing here is not against the law. Soon, fierce battles will take place. The only way for you to survive is to leave before those people come.”

“Don’t hesitate. Run as far as you can. Don’t come back in the near future!”

The chief heard his warnings.

His face instantly turned severe.

As the head of the tribe, he was responsible for his clan members. In the past few days, he had been observing the situation here. He noticed that more and more people had arrived here, and each appeared to be very mighty.

In recent days, nothing unusual had happened nearby.

It was as if…

These people were waiting for something.

He was pretty worried about this abnormal situation. Thus, when he heard Fang Qiu’s words, he immediately tensed up.

“The situation seemed to be worsening.”

“Then, then what should we do?”

The chief looked at Fang Qiu in panic and asked, “Where should we go?”

“The farther you go, the better.”

Fang Qiu offered his suggestion. “Something big will happen in this area, and the Egyptt government will also be participating in it. In that case, even Kairo might not be safe. It is better to go through Kairo and find your place of shelter in a city. Come back when everything has passed.”

“Um.”

The chief’s brows furrowed as he pondered for a moment before he nodded. “Thank you.”

Fang Qiu nodded and received his heartfelt thanks.

“We’ll leave tonight.”

The chief turned around and was about to leave. Abruptly, he paused and turned around, saying, “Do you really not know Fang Qiu?”

“No.”

Fang Qiu replied.

“Fine.”

He watched Fang Qiu closely and said, “The look in your eyes is the same as his, so I’m sure you’re a nice man. I kept something for Fang Qiu, but now the situation is special. I don’t know when Fang Qiu will come. Since you also belong to the yellow race and have the same eyes as Fang Qiu, I might as well give it to you.”

“What is it?”

Fang Qiu was confused.

“Come with me.”

With this, the chief walked toward one of the stone houses the others had forcibly occupied.

Fang Qiu recognized it.

It was the chief’s room, which was also the room where Fang Qiu had attempted to fry herbs in the tribe.

He followed the chief into the stone house.

Fang Qiu saw that he walked straight toward the center of the stone house, where there was a fireplace made of stones.

“This item has been passed down by chiefs from different generations over many years.”

As he spoke, he squatted down and moved away the stones and pieces of charred firewood scattered on the ground. Then a stone slab was exposed.

This scene was unexpected.

Fang Qiu was slightly stunned. He hurried forward to help and pulled up the stone slab on the ground.

He gazed fixedly at the place under it.

Under the slate was a space about thirty cubic centimeters. A lion-skin bag was placed in it and there was something inside it.

“Here it is.”

The chief pulled out the bag and said, “This lion is our ancestor’s prey.”

As he spoke…

He opened the bag and took out a rolled-up parchment.

“Since we’re leaving, I’ll leave this to you.”

The chief handed the parchment to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu didn’t hesitate and opened it curiously.

Unexpectedly, there were maze-like patterns formed by some lines, which looked too complicated for him to understand.

“What is this?”

Fang Qiu wondered.

“I don’t know either.”

The chief immediately shook his head and said, “I only know it had existed since the day I was born. It should have been there for a very long time. Every year for the past few decades, I would take it out to study it, but I couldn’t figure out what was recorded. So, I don’t know what our ancestors left for us.”

“Then, why would you give it to me?”

Fang Qiu asked in surprise.

“Because you are a nice guy.”

The chief said, “And because I feel what happened recently may be related to this thing. You are the only one who cares about our tribe, so I am happy to repay you with it.”

“I know you’re here with the same purpose as the others. You’re all here for the Pharaoh’s treasures. I hope it can help you.”

Fang Qiu heard this surprising news.

His heart missed a beat, and his face was full of doubts. Fang Qiu asked, “Do you also know about the Pharaoh’s treasure?”

“Yes.”

The chief nodded with a smile and said, “That was why I decided to take my tribe away. Otherwise, do you think a few words from you could get us out of the place where we were born and lived all our lives?”

Fang Qiu was startled.

“Chiefs of our tribe verbally passed down the message about Pharaoh’s treasures.”

With a smile, the chief explained to Fang Qiu. “When I became the chief, I was told that Pharaoh’s treasures were near our tribe. This map might be useful for finding them, but I don’t know how it can be used. You have to find the answer by yourself.”

“Thank you so much.”

Fang Qiu put away the parchment and thanked him.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help sighing with emotion in his heart.

“Good things happen to good people. That’s only too true.”

“I wish you peace.”

The chief smiled and put the lion-skin bag back onto the ground. He then restored the fireplace before leaving the stone house with his clan members.

On the other side…

Fang Qiu learned from the government staff that the pharmaceutical factory would not be relocated.

“If it stays here, it will inevitably be affected.”

“Ordinary government armed forces are definitely no match for those forces, and this pharmaceutical factory is related to the overall malaria condition of Africo. Nothing must happen to it.”
