The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 642

Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Old Clothes

The three descended from the mountain as night fell, with the city bathed in a brilliant sea of lights. Countless men and women began their dizzying nights of revelry.

“Let’s find a place to cook,” suggested Huang Xiaolong excitedly.

The divine food cooked in the Magic Artifact was too delicious, and Huang Xiaolong couldn’t wait to have some.

“Why don’t we go to my place?” Miao Erfang proposed. “It’s just my mother and me at home. You guys can come over.”

Miao Erfang lost her father early in life and had since been relying on her mother.

“Great, let’s cook at Erfang’s place,” Zhou Mi agreed first.

Huang Xiaolong naturally had no objections.

Immediately, the three of them drove their Beetle straight to the residential community where Miao Erfang lived.

…

Miao Erfang’s residence.

A large crowd had gathered below an apartment building, with an ambulance ready on the scene.

Ten minutes ago, a resident had jumped off the roof, landing in a gruesome mess of flesh and blood.

At this time, many onlookers started heated debates—-

“So unlucky! I don’t understand, why would someone jump off a building in our community? Can we even live here now?”

“Ah~~ I was planning to sell my apartment. I can’t live comfortably knowing someone died here, especially in such a tragic way.”

“I knew the guy who jumped. He lived above me, seemed like a positive young man, and was about to get married next week. What could have happened to him? Young people these days are far too extreme.”

“Could it be a feng shui problem?”

“No way. This is the first time anything of the sort has happened in our community.”

…

Naturally, the residents were frightened and upset about a life lost in their community.

However, what was strange was that the man who committed suicide was shirtless. He had pants and shoes on, but his upper body was bare.

Of course, this detail went unnoticed.

Meanwhile…

After watching the commotion for a while, Erfang’s mother strolled around the community.

She noticed a large box under a lamppost, bearing the words– “Clothing Donation Spot.”

“Hmm?” Erfang’s mother’s eyes gleamed as she approached the box.

A handsome young man from the property management was sitting near the box. He greeted her, “Auntie, have you had dinner? Out for a stroll?”

“Hehe~~~ Xiao Lin, what’s with this box of old clothes?” Erfang’s mother asked, blinking curiously.

“Oh, these are periodically donated to impoverished areas,” the young man explained, smiling. “These are clothes that the residents don’t wear anymore. Some of them are almost new — it’s quite a shame to give them away.”

“Really? I’d like to take a look,” Erfang’s mother chuckled.

Inside, she was scheming — she was originally from the rural area and had distant relatives living a life of hardship, just getting by with basic food and clothing. To exaggerate a bit, it was common for them to wear a piece of clothing for 5-6 years.

To these villagers, even the discarded pajamas of city dwellers, especially those living in high-end communities like this one, were valuable items.

Erfang’s mother decided to take some of these clothes back to her hometown and distribute them amongst friends and family. As an owner in this community, it’s better for her to benefit from the donation rather than it going elsewhere.

“Hehe, auntie, feel free to look around.” The young man was very hospitable towards Erfang’s mother. It’s unknown whether it was due to his affection for Miao Erfang or if he was a fan of this beautiful internet personality.

Erfang’s mother didn’t hold back and took a large pile of clothes from the box.

As expected, many of the clothes seemed almost new. Some had even been imported with quality fabric and fashionable styles.

“What a pity. These clothes are really good,” Erfang’s mother said, unwilling to let go of the clothes.

Suddenly!

She noticed a man’s T-shirt covered in fresh blood!

“Blood!!!!!” Erfang’s mother screamed in astonishment.

“Auntie, are you sure there’s blood on the clothes? But when I took them in, I checked, they were all clean.” the young man said hastily.

“Look at this T-shirt!” Er Fang’s mother handed over the blood-stained T-shirt to the young man.

However, when the young man took the T-shirt, the blood stains on it mysteriously vanished leaving no trace behind.

“Auntie, there’s no blood. I told you, they are all clean clothes.” The young man scrutinized the T-shirt again and again.

“Eh? There really isn’t any blood? Did I look at it wrongly?” Er Fang’s mother shook her head in confusion. “Sigh~~I’m old, my sight is getting blurry.”

“Look, young man, these are all good clothes, quite a lot of them are branded. I have many relatives in the countryside who are…kind of poor, you see~~~” Er Fang’s mother pleaded.

Getting her hint, the young man immediately offered, “Alright, auntie, no problem. You may pick some.”

“That’s great, thank you, young man.” Er Fang’s mother happily picked out a dozen or so garments.

The young man received the clothes, laughed and said, “Auntie, I’ll take these clothes to the property’s dry-cleaning room, give them a wash and iron, and then I’ll bring them to your place.”

“Hahaha~~ Thank you very much, young man, I’ll treat you to a meal another day.” Er Fang’s mother said, quite satisfied.

…

Huang Xiaolong drove to the residential complex where Miao Erfang lived.

The three of them took the elevator up to Miao Erfang’s apartment.

Miao Erfang’s mother was home, and she couldn’t have been more enthusiastic upon seeing Huang Xiaolong, almost treating him like her own son.

On the previous occasion, Miao Erfang was bewitched by a ghost and participated in a ghostly marriage. If it wasn’t for Huang Xiaolong’s intervention, her beloved daughter would’ve been lost forever.

On top of all this, Huang Xiaolong was also quite a good-natured and handsome lad which made Miao Erfang’s mother even more grateful to him, almost considering him as a potential son-in-law.

So, Er Fang’s mother welcomed Huang Xiaolong, Miao Erfang, and Zhou Mi into the house.

“Mom, why are there so many people downstairs? I saw an ambulance too, did something happen?” Miao Erfang asked.

“Oh, it’s that young man from our building who lives on the 17th floor. He climbed up to the rooftop during dinner and jumped off. He committed suicide.” Er Fang’s mother said regretfully. “Such a polite young man, why would he throw away his life like this?”

“Oh… Sigh, why would anyone commit suicide, the world is such a beautiful place, it’s better to be alive.” Miao Erfang sighed empathetically.

Huang Xiaolong was too busy cooking so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

He borrowed some rice from Er Fang’s mother and turned it into spiritual rice with his magic artifact.

Soon, the rich aroma had Er Fang and her mother, and Zhou Mi all salivating.

Dinner time.

The four of them enjoyed the meal, eating several jin of rice, and were as happy as immortals.

After finishing, in order not to disturb Er Fang and her mother, Huang Xiaolong left with Zhou Mi.

Less than ten minutes after Huang Xiaolong left, there was a knock on the door.

When Er Fang’s mother opened the door, she saw the young man from property management, holding a huge pile of neatly ironed clothes, laughed and said, “Auntie, all done. Look, don’t these old clothes look almost the same as newly bought ones?”

“Oh, they really do! Young man, thank you. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?” Er Fang’s mother accepted the pile of clothes with a beaming smile.

“No, auntie, I still have work to do.” Having delivered the clothes, the young man bid his goodbye and left.

Closed the door.

At this moment, Er Fang, in the bathroom, called out. “Mom, I just finished bathing, you should hurry too. I heard they’re gonna cut off the water and gas tonight.”

“Alright.” Er Fang’s mother casually placed the pile of clothes on the sofa and went to find her sleepwear from her bedroom.

All of a sudden!

The pile of clothes on the sofa seemed to move on its own! It twitched and rose up in the air!

The clothes scattered, and from the area near the sofa, came an extremely low, creepy sound of–

“Hee-hee~~hee-hee~~hee-hee~~~~~”

It was as if a group of people were laughing insanely.
