"Amazing!" Guo Sirou exclaimed.
"You flatter me," Wang Yao said with a smile.
In fact, the two of them didn't meet many times. They didn't communicate much on normal days, but there was a feeling of familiarity between them.
"If you have something on your mind, it's a kind of catharsis to let it out. If you keep it in your heart, you'll feel uncomfortable," Wang Yao said with a smile.
Everyone had something on their mind. Even a lady from a wealthy family like her had her own troubles.
"Marriage." After a moment of silence, Guo Sirou said these two words.
"Marriage? Arranged marriage?" Wang Yao immediately thought of the marriage between the rich and noble families. It was like the emperor in the past had married a princess to a general or a minister's daughter.
"Sort of."
"You don't like that person?"
"No," Guo Sirou said.
It was hard to imagine that a person who had barely met would suddenly want to marry someone and spend the rest of their life with them. They did not know each other at all, let alone like each other.
Perhaps some people would say that they could slowly get to know each other after marriage, but was that really feasible?
"If you don't like him, then refuse?"
This problem was very simple in Wang Yao's eyes. If she married someone she did not like, she would not be happy.
"Ah, it's not that easy!" Guo Sirou sighed.
"Does your family need his help?"
"Yes."
This had involved the interests of the whole family, not the gains and losses of one person.
Wang Yao did not know the situation of the Guo family. In fact, he did not want to know, but he suddenly felt that being born in these so-called rich and powerful families was not as good as the outside world thought. They did have many superior conditions, but they could not make their own decisions in life. This was a great tragedy.
"Have you told your parents?"
"No, I have told my grandfather, but he did not agree. Unfortunately, he has passed away." When mentioning her grandfather, Guo Sirou's face showed a sad expression.
"You can try to talk to them and communicate." There were no parents in the world who did not think of their children.
Guo Sirou smiled and did not say anything.
"Can I go to your Nanshan Hill to have a look?"
"No problem."
After closing the door of the clinic, the two of them slowly went up Nanshan Hill.
It was very windy in the mountains, so Guo Sirou didn't wear much.
"Are you cold?"
"It's alright."
Wang Yao took off his coat and put it on the other party. He was only wearing a thin shirt.
"How can you do that? You'll freeze."
"I'm fine." Wang Yao smiled.
"I am immune to both heat and cold."
Guo Sirou listened carefully. After confirming that Wang Yao was really fine, she didn't continue to refuse. The coat was draped over his body to block the cold wind. It was very warm.
Nanshan Hill stood there quietly, looking at the verdant mountainside in the distance.
"Why is it still so green at this time?"
"Hmm, shall we go up and take a look?"
As they walked up from the foot of the mountain, the closer they were to the mountainside, the warmer Guo Sirou felt. In the end, Wang Yao's jacket could not be worn anymore, so he took it off.
"Why is that?" she asked curiously.
"This mountain is different from the rest," Wang Yao said.
They reached the mountainside.
The trees swayed. Guo Sirou felt her heart palpitate. She had a feeling of suffocation, as if something was strangling her throat. She also felt very dizzy.
"Take a sip." Wang Yao took out a bottle of medicine and let her take a sip. The uncomfortable feeling quickly disappeared.
"What's going on?"
She had come up the mountain more than once, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
"There are herbs in the herbal field. They emit a special smell that will have this effect on the human body," Wang Yao said.
This herb was the "Xian Qiuluo", another line of defense he used to prevent outsiders. This was a "spiritual medicine", and its medicinal power was extraordinary. However, it was also a "poison", and its smell had a great influence on the human body. The method to remove this influence was relatively simple. One could boil its leaves and consume it. Moreover, after consuming it once, one would be immune to this terrifying and imperceptible smell for a long period of time.
The trees outside the herbal field were still swaying. Looking at it made one feel dizzy. If one looked at it for a little longer, one would feel that the world was spinning and could not stand steadily.
"What is this?" Guo Sirou hurriedly closed her eyes.
She knew about this battle array and had seen its mystery and power. She vaguely remembered that the last time she came here, it was not as powerful as now. It was impossible to resist.
"Look down and follow me."
Wang Yao walked in front. Guo Sirou followed him with her head down. After a while, the scene in front of her changed.
The herbal field was arranged in a reasonable and orderly manner. At a glance, there were herbs she could not name. There was a clear pool not far from the herbal field. It was very small. There were a few special plants growing beside the pool. The simple, or even simple, small house stood there quietly.
It was bleak and cold outside, but it was as warm as spring inside.
The moment they came in, a dog bigger than a calf stood in front of them. It looked at Guo Sirou with a pair of very intelligent eyes.
"Wow, is this San Xian?" Guo Sirou was surprised.
"Yes, it is. San Xian, this is Miss Guo. She has been here before. Do you remember?"
Woof! Woof! Woof! The dog barked a few times and sniffed. It stared at Guo Sirou for a while.
"You don't have to keep an eye on him. I'm here," Wang Yao said with a smile. San Xian slowly walked away.
Looking at the spring scenery in the herbal field, Guo Sirou asked in surprise, "A dog with intelligence? It is even bigger than a Tibetan mastiff. How did you do it?"
"It was a gift from heaven." Wang Yao pointed to the sky.
It was clear and high.
Haha. Guo Sirou laughed. Such ability might really be a gift from heaven.
"Come in and have a seat."
"Sure."
The tea was camellia. Wang Yao only had half a barrel left. Compared to the famous tea brought by his friends, he preferred this kind of tea. It had a unique aroma and was different from the others. The water used to make the tea was ancient spring water.
"Well, it tastes great. It is even better than the tea in the clinic at the foot of the mountain," Guo Sirou praised.
Going up the mountain, amazing scenery, and good tea.
Looking at the herbal field outside, the woods not far away, some distant mountains, and the sky even further away, Guo Sirou felt that her mood seemed to relax a lot at this moment. She temporarily forgot the things that troubled her.
"It is so good to live here!" she exclaimed.
"It is very good," Wang Yao said with a smile.
He also liked to make a cup of tea and read quietly. He also liked to sit outside with a folding stool and look at the sky, thinking about something. He also didn't think at all. He just looked at the sky in a daze.
Now, such time was less. He still had to treat patients. He felt a lot busier. Some aspects were not as good as before.
"Do you still need help?"
"What?" Wang Yao was stunned. He looked at Guo Sirou in surprise.
"Did I hear you wrong?"
"I just asked casually." Guo Sirou said with a smile. At that moment, she really wanted to find a house to stay in this small mountain village. She didn't ask for anything else, just to be able to come up to the mountain and walk around the herbal field.
However, she also knew that this kind of life might just be an extravagant hope.
Sometimes, people were not free to do what they wanted.
Sigh. She sighed softly.
"I feel that you are very tired, mentally tired." Wang Yao poured a cup of tea for her.
"Yes, I also feel that life has been very tiring recently," Guo Sirou said.
"Do more things that make you happy."
"Happy?" Guo Sirou looked out of the window. She was a little absent-minded for a moment.
What could make her happy?
She had been living in that kind of environment since she was young, and she was used to some things. She was used to thinking for her family, doing business, taking over a part of the family business, and running around for the family. After she graduated from university, no, even before that, it had been the main rhythm of her life. It took up most of her time. She was vigorous, capable, and decisive, and was highly praised by her family and other elders. Gradually, the burden on her shoulders became heavier and heavier, and she became more and more helpless. Now, she didn't even know what she liked to do!
"I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. I can't think of anything that would make me happy right now," Guo Sirou said.
She suddenly realized that the life she had been living for the past few years was not what she wanted, although it was glorious. So what? In the end, she couldn't even decide the major events of her life.
She was a girl after all.
The idea of favoring boys over girls had always been there. It was not an exception in her family. Some people even valued it more than ordinary people. For example, now, her family was tilting resources to her younger brother, who had stepped into the official circle.
After all, a girl was going to get married.
In fact, Guo Sirou loved her younger brother very much. She had done a lot for him. She also thought that this was what an elder sister should do. However, she couldn't throw her life away for her younger brother's future, right?
For a moment, she thought a little too much. She looked out of the window. Wang Yao didn't disturb her.
"Ah, sorry, I was distracted."
"It's nothing."
"Sorry to disturb you. I should leave now," Guo Sirou said. Guo Sirou said. Talking to Wang Yao was like talking to her best friend, her best friend. She felt a lot more relaxed. It was very rewarding.
"Where are you going?" Wang Yao asked almost subconsciously.
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm going to walk around and relax," Guo Sirou said.
"Okay, come visit when you have time."
"No problem."
The two of them went down the mountain. Guo Sirou drove a four-wheeled Porsche.
"Goodbye. Think more about happy things."
"Goodbye."
The car slowly left the mountain village.
Through the rearview mirror, he looked at the young man who was still standing by the road and the mountain peak further away.
He was so carefree. How enviable!
Just as he reached the intersection, he was surprised to see two cars in front of him. The road in the mountain village was relatively narrow. It could only allow one car to pass. When two cars met, one car would usually take the initiative to stop by the side. Guo Sirou pulled the car to the side and let the two cars enter the village first.
Huh?
She was a little surprised when she saw the license plate.
It was a car from Jing. When she saw the person in the passenger seat of the second car, she was even more surprised.
"Chen Ying? What is she doing here and in that position? Who is the person in the car?"
Guo Sirou looked at the back of the second car. She could only vaguely see a figure behind the dark windshield.
"Could it be that she's here?"
She didn't roll down the window or say hello. She just looked through the rearview mirror at the two cars driving to the south of the mountain village. She didn't want them to know that she had been to the mountain village.
"Ma 'am, the person in the car just now seems to be Miss Guo."
"Sister Sirou?"
"Yes."
"What is she doing here?"
"She should be looking for Dr. Wang."
"Yes."
The car stopped at the south of the village.
"I'll go and have a look first." Chen Ying got out of the car and went into the clinic.
At this time, Wang Yao had just come down from the mountain. He picked up a medical book and was about to read it when he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Hey, why are you here?" After seeing Chen Ying, he was quite surprised. He thought to himself, What's wrong with today? Even the rare guests have come from thousands of miles away.
"Hello, Sir."
"Hello, come and sit down."
"Is it convenient for you now?" Chen Ying asked with a smile.
Seeing Wang Yao again, she felt very warm and happy.
"Yes, yes. Why are you so polite?"
"Mrs. Song and Miss Su are outside."
"They are also here. Su Xiaoxue?" Wang Yao was surprised.
"Yes."
"Ha, quickly invite them in."
"This is Dr. Wang's clinic?" Sitting in the car, Su Xiaoxue looked at the black roof and white walls through the car window. It was a very southern style building.
