While Wang Yao was decocting the decoction, a Land Rover entered the village and went up Nanshan Hill along the mountain road.
Woof! Woof! Woof! Wang Yao, who was decocting the decoction, heard the dog barking outside. He knew someone had come.
It was a couple who went up the mountain. The man was slightly plump, had a square face and thick eyebrows, and the woman was gentle and delicate. They were Tian Yuantu and Xu Jiahui, who had come not long ago. This time, they did not come empty-handed. They also brought some gifts.
"Little brother?"
Tian Yuantu shouted twice before he arrived at the cottage, but he didn't get a reply. He thought Wang Yao wasn't in the cottage and was about to leave. However, he smelled a unique herbal fragrance. He walked closer to the window and looked at Wang Yao through the window. He found that Wang Yao was concentrating on decocting the herbal medicine and didn't hear his shout. Tian Yuantu then called out softly.
"Brother Tian?" Wang Yao turned his head and found that it was Tian Yuantu and Xu Jiahui, which surprised him.
"Please come in and have a seat." He got up and opened the door to let them in.
The cottage was not big. There was only a bed, a big pot, and a table. In addition, there were Chinese herbs in every corner. It was really a bit messy.
"Sorry, the room is too messy. Please wait a moment."
Wang Yao was about to finish decocting the decoction.
"You go ahead," Tian Yuantu said with a smile.
The couple sat aside and watched Wang Yao stare at the decoction. When the time came, he quickly took the multifunctional pot for herbs from the fire and poured the decoction into the prepared utensils. Then, he poured the decoction into the hedge aside to control the water. His movements were very skillful.
"Sorry!" After hearing the system prompt that the decoction was successfully decocted, Wang Yao turned around and greeted Tian Yuantu and his wife, who had been waiting for a while.
"It's okay. What decoction are you decocting?"
"It's a Qi-replenishing decoction. It's a common decoction." Wang Yao smiled and made tea for them.
"It seems that Madam Xu has recovered from her illness."
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Yao paid special attention to Xu Jiahui. He saw that her face was ruddy and her eyes were bright. Compared to the sickly state she had been in a few days ago, she was like a completely different person.
"Don't call me Madam Xu. You can call me Big Sister or Sister-in-law. Your two medicines are really miraculous. They took effect immediately. My illness is completely cured!" Xu Jiahui sighed. Over the years, she had been tortured by this illness. Now that she could recover, she was naturally overjoyed.
"This time, we have two things to do. The first is to thank you for curing my wife's illness!" Tian Yuantu said.
"You guys spent money!" Speaking of this matter, Wang Yao was a little embarrassed. After all, the price of the two sets of medicine was ridiculously high. Except for the Moonlight Flower, which was a Spiritual Herb, the other herbs were ordinary Chinese medicine, and could even be considered as inferior.
"It's good that you don't think it's expensive."
After listening, Tian Yuantu roughly understood Wang Yao's meaning and immediately said, "Expensive? It's not expensive!"
"This is a medicine that can cure diseases and save lives! Think about it. Some teas cost hundreds of thousands of taels. Some flowers cost hundreds of thousands of taels. Can they save lives? No! Compared to them, your medicine is worth thousands of taels of gold because human life is priceless! "Tian Yuantu's words suddenly reminded Wang Yao.
"Yes, human lives are priceless, and those licorice roots are not so easy to get!" Wang Yao thought.
"Brother Tian, what about the second thing?"
"The second thing? I know a friend who also has this strange illness. His mind is restless. His illness is even worse than Jiahui's. He can't get out of bed. Can you talk to your master and ask him to take a look?" Tian Yuantu asked.
"My master is old and has retired. He doesn't treat people anymore," Wang Yao said after thinking for a while.
"What about you?"
"I …" Wang Yao was about to refuse when he heard the system prompt.
Mission: Pharmacist who can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated illnesses (Can't take the initiative and can't visit). The reward is random. The penalty for failure is halving any two attribute points.
Hearing this mission, Wang Yao thought to himself. Cure all kinds of difficult and complicated illnesses. If someone came to the mountain to ask for medicine in the future, he couldn't refuse!
"I'm very busy recently. I can't leave," Wang Yao said.
"Can't you make an exception? As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. My friend's body is very weak. I can't travel around."
"I'm sorry," Wang Yao said.
Tian Yuantu was silent for a moment. He looked a little disappointed and took a step back. "Can I ask for a medicine on his behalf?"
"What medicine?"
"Anshensan." This was the name of the medicine his wife took. It had wonderful effects and could be called a panacea.
"Okay. Come back in two days."
The two of them sat for a while and got up to leave. Wang Yao didn't want to accept their gifts, but they were very determined. He couldn't refuse, so he had to accept.
After the two of them left, Wang Yao got busy again.
"You want to ask for a medicine for Mr. Cui?" Xu Jiahui asked in the car after they went down the mountain.
"Yes. Unfortunately, he didn't agree," Tian Yuantu said.
"You seem to have great expectations for him," Xu Jiahui said to her husband with a smile.
"He's definitely not an ordinary person if he can make a panacea like Anshensan. Moreover, I feel a little different from a few days ago."
"Yes, I feel it too!" Xu Jiahui said.
"His temperament seems to be more otherworldly. It's like a hermit in the mountains."
"Yes. I hope that medicine can have some effect."
"Mr. Cui's illness is much worse than mine, right?"
"Yes. His illness has been affected for a long time. If it weren't for his extraordinary family background and the panacea, he would have died long ago!" Tian Yuantu said.
"But you still dare to ask for a medicine for him. What if there's something wrong with the medicine?" Xu Jiahui was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter. First, he and I are indeed friends. If I can help him, I will. Second, he has a master in his family. He will check whether the medicine is effective or not," Tian Yuantu said.
"I hope it's effective."
On Nanshan hill, Wang Yao was concentrating on decocting the medicine. He had finished six out of the ten decoctions. Only half of the time had passed.
This afternoon, after he finished decocting the seventh decoction, he stopped as usual. He tidied everything up and sat at the table. He took out the Natural Classics and started to read.
Outside the cottage, the herbs were swaying in the wind. San Xian was lying quietly under the window. It seemed that it was listening to its master's chanting. It was fascinated. In the distance, people were busy in the mountains.
The sun was setting in the west. People who had been busy all day went down the mountain to go home.
Wang Yao closed the book gently. With his mind, the book turned into a streamer and disappeared. He closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. Then he got up and went home.
