"OK, leave it to me." Li Maoshuang glanced at the list and said, "No, you need so many herbs to grow your own medicine. Are you really going to treat patients?"
"Well, by the way, can you find time to inquire about something for me?"
"Go ahead."
"Antiques like the medicine cabinet last time. In terms of medicine, if you have them, you can get them for me. The price is negotiable."
"No problem. Why are you suddenly interested in these things?"
"It's useful." Wang Yao smiled. It was really useful. He had already started to use the medicine cabinet. It was very convenient.
After staying at Li Maoshuang's place for a while, Wang Yao left. After returning home, he went straight to Nanshan Hill.
He practiced Tai Chi on the hill. Although he was very busy these days, he did not fall behind in Tai Chi. He would take some time to practice Tai Chi every morning and evening. His progress was also very fast. It was just that there was no one to help him, so his progress was slightly slower.
After two days of consideration, Wang Yao decided to try to make some pills that were easy to use and store. He had already selected some of the herbs.
In addition to precious herbs such as ginseng and glossy ganoderma, the main ingredients were various licorice roots. Wang Yao had already thought about it. Once he made it, he would make the best ones. Of course, before that, he had to make some ordinary pills according to the ancient method and familiarize himself with the process.
Making pills was different from decoction. The latter dissolved all the medicinal power in the herbs into water, while the former crushed the herbs into fine powder after processing, mixed them together, and then kneaded them into pills.
Pills were not medicinal pills. They were not as magical as imagined. However, the process was more complicated than decoction.
First, I'll find an ordinary pill to try and see how it works.
According to the prescription that he could get now, he determined the pill to be made and then began to prepare the herbs.
He did not have enough tools to make pills. He did not have tools for crushing and sieving. He made a list and sent it to Li Maoshuang. After a while, Li Maoshuang called.
"I say, what do you want? You want to break it up and sift it."
"To make pills," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"It'd better be an antique."
"Okay, I got it. When do you need it?"
"The sooner the better. I need it urgently."
"Right away."
Between friends, there was no need for words. They would naturally do their best.
Wang Yao estimated that in less than three days, Li Maoshuang would be able to prepare these things. Now, he was still thinking about another thing, which was the framework of the Spirit Gathering Array.
Through this period of observation, he found that during this period of time, the growth of various "spiritual herbs" was much better than before the formation was set up.
In medicine, there was a saying of "Monarch, Minister, Assistant Envoy".
"Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica" has a record: "Applying 120 kinds of medicine is for the monarch, mainly to nourish the life; 120 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine is for the minister, mainly to nourish the character; 120 kinds of medicine is for the assistant, mainly to cure the disease; the medicine must be compatible with the monarch, minister, assistant and assistant."
This was the Dao of Balance of the Four Symbols, and it was the same for setting up formations.
Formations were like trees with roots, trunks, branches, and leaves.
Now that the framework was complete, it was missing some branches and leaves. It needed to be added slowly.
Some low shrubs such as boxwood and tea trees were enough.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to Chen Kun's place to have a look."
At night, Wang Yao carefully reviewed the formation map that he had prepared long ago. It was not until late at night that he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next day, Wang Yao went to Chen Kun's nursery and found that he was doing a lot of construction. It seemed that he was preparing to expand the scale of the nursery.
"Hey, what a rare guest!" Chen Kun said with a smile after seeing Wang Yao.
"Preparing to expand?"
"Yes, building a big shed. What are you here to buy this time?"
"Shrubs, boxwood, and the like."
"No problem, I'll show you around."
Chen Kun took Wang Yao around the nursery. He selected some plants and decided on the quantity.
"Send them to me tomorrow?"
"Okay."
"Then it's settled. Hey, do you have that kind of ginseng?" Chen Kun suddenly asked.
"Yes, but it hasn't ripened yet. Why?"
"I want to get some for the old people at home, but the ones on the market are all cultivated artificially. I want to get some wild ginseng from the northeast," Chen Kun said.
"If it's just to nourish the body, artificially cultivated ginseng is also fine. Wild ginseng is relatively rare on the market, and it's not so easy to distinguish. You may not be able to buy good things with money," Wang Yao said.
"Well, I still think wild ginseng is better, just like the plants in my nursery. Artificially cultivated ginseng is not comparable to wild ginseng at all," Chen Kun said. "Besides, if you want to buy things for the old people, of course, you have to buy good things."
"Well, I know a person. You can ask him. He should have a way to get wild ginseng, but the price is not cheap." Wang Yao said. The person he mentioned was naturally Li Maoshuang. Li Maoshuang provided him with wild ginseng at a very low price. It was the purchase price. If he gave it to others, it would not be so cheap. After all, he was also a businessman.
"That's good."
Wang Yao left Li Maoshuang's phone number. After he left, Wang Yao called Li Maoshuang to inform him that he was leaving.
On the way back to the village, when he passed by the processing factory, he smelled a somewhat pungent smell. He subconsciously stopped the car.
"What's that smell?"
He sniffed hard and got out of the car. He soon found the source of the smell. In the small river next to the village road, a water pipe next to the river embankment was splashing black sewage. The originally clear river water was dyed black. The source of the sewage pipe was the processing factory on the other side of the road.
"I was wondering why it was opened in this gully. Is it to secretly drain the sewage?" Wang Yao took out his mobile phone and took a photo. He then prepared to get in the car.
At this time, a man in his 30s came out of the processing factory. He was very strong and had a fierce face like a butcher's. He stared at Wang Yao.
"What were you doing just now?" The man was very big, but his voice was somewhat muffled.
"What does it have to do with you?" Hearing the man's unfriendly tone, Wang Yao naturally did not give him a good face.
Hiss. The man stepped forward and reached out to grab Wang Yao's collar.
Interesting?
Wang Yao reached out to grab and push the man aside. The man staggered and turned to look at Wang Yao. He actually wanted to punch him.
"How dare you behave so atrociously here?"
Wang Yao's face darkened.
He bent his body and pushed with both hands. The man flew out upside down. He crossed the road and hit the door with a bang.
Before the man got up, Wang Yao took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the man.
After the man got up, he did not say anything. He turned and entered the factory. Wang Yao did not say anything. When he was about to get in the car, he heard a sound behind him. He looked back and saw that the man had an iron rod in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Some people on the road saw this scene and rushed over.
They did not know who the man was, but they had seen Wang Yao before. They were from the same village and had the same surname. How dare an outsider bully someone from the same village? Wasn't this courting death? The villagers were not good at other things. They usually quarreled and fought with each other. However, once an outsider came to cause trouble, they were quite united.
In an instant, seven or eight men surrounded the man. Some of them even had hoes in their hands. Tools like hoes.
"Yao, are you okay?" a man in his 40s asked.
"I'm fine, Uncle." Wang Yao smiled. His heart was very warm. He looked around and noted down the people who took the initiative to stand up and help him today.
"You, just you wait!" The strong man pointed at Wang Yao.
This scene and expression reminded him of the scenes that often appeared in movies and television.
For such people, most people would stay away from them. Wang Yao pretended that he did not hear anything. He turned around and got into the car.
He quickly sent the man's photo to Wang Mingbao. In less than two minutes, Wang Mingbao called back.
"F * ck, what did you give me? A wanted criminal?"
"No, the people in the new factory in the village are quite unreasonable. Help me check him."
"Unreasonable? How dare he be unreasonable in our village?" Wang Mingbao, who was on the other end of the phone, said immediately. He was very familiar with his buddy's character. If he could hear the word "unreasonable" coming out of his mouth, then the person's behavior or words must be quite excessive. This made him unable to sit still. Now, he wanted to rush back to see who was the person who dared to be unreasonable in his village.
"I'll go back right away."
"Don't worry. Didn't I send the photo to you? Ask your friend in the Public Security Bureau to check him."
"Damn, how can you just send a photo?"
"Hey, can't you check? Can't you get the person's information immediately after entering the photo into the computer?"
"You're talking about the CIA, the Committee of State Security (KGB), not ordinary people's police!" Wang Mingbao on the other end of the phone was speechless.
"Really? I forgot to ask for his name. Forget it, I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Okay, hurry up."
"What's the person's name?"
Wang Yao decided to try asking his mother about this since he couldn't ask Wang Yao himself.
Hearing Wang Yao's question, Zhang Xiuying seemed to be interested. "You're asking about the fierce guy, right?"
"Yes, what's his name?"
"Li Dong. Yesterday, he beat a person in the village because the person said something in anger," Zhang Xiuying said. "Why are you asking about him?"
"Nothing, just casually asking. I don't think he's a good person," Wang Yao said.
After dinner, he told Wang Mingbao the person's name.
"Let's see if this guy has a criminal record first."
"You always like to make things so complicated. Let me just say one word, beat him." Wang Mingbao on the other end of the phone said. If it weren't for Wang Yao's dissuasion, he would have been in the village now. He might have already had a fight with Li Dong.
Things had to be done according to the rules.
This was one of Wang Yao's principles in dealing with things.
If the rules didn't work, he would consider other things.
He quickly found the information he wanted. It had to be said that Wang Mingbao's friend was very reliable. Li Dong had a criminal record. He was once sentenced to prison for intentional injury.
