"Where are we going?" Su Xiaoxue asked.
"A mountain called Fulai Mountain," Wang Yao said. "It's my first time there."
To be honest, it was not the best time for them to go there. It was late autumn when the leaves of the gingko trees turned yellow. That was the most beautiful time. They went to the mountain mostly to see the tree.
"By the way, the mutton there is also quite famous," Wang Yao said.
"We'll have a good meal at noon. Do you come here often?"
"No, I've only passed by twice," Wang Yao said.
Although they were next to each other, Wang Yao had only been there twice.
This county was much bigger than Lianshan County. It was almost twice the size. The economy here was better than Lianshan County. The population here was also larger.
In fact, Fulai Mountain was not very high. It was not even as high as Nanshan Hill. Moreover, it was not a holiday or a weekend, so there were not many people there. There was an antique temple on the mountain. After entering the temple, they saw the big tree. The ginkgo tree was huge. The courtyard was not small. The shadow of the tree's canopy almost covered half of the courtyard. The trunk was so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around it to encircle it. It was very cool under the shade of the tree.
The tree had experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, but it was still luxuriant.
"This tree has to be thousands of years old." Su Xiaoxue looked up at the tree. The leaves were so thick that no sunlight could pass through.
"Yes."
She circled the tree a few times and took a few photos.
"What are those?" She pointed to some red silk hanging on the tree.
"They should be left behind when making a wish. It is said that making a wish to this tree is very effective."
"Maybe we should make a wish?"
"Okay."
The two of them counted and made a wish. Su Xiaoxue closed her eyes and put her hands together. She was very sincere.
After making their wish, they strolled around the temple. In fact, there were temples on Nine Linked Mountains that had been around for a long time. However, they were completely destroyed during the early days of the country's founding. It was a pity that this temple was much luckier. It was almost completely preserved.
Su Xiaoxue seemed to believe in these things very much. When she saw the Buddha statue, she made a sincere wish. Wang Yao just stood aside.
In a corner of the temple, an old monk had set up a stall. He was leaning on a chair with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
"Sir, there is a fortune-teller here. Shall we have a fortune-telling session?"
"Sure!"
The old monk was woken up by their conversation.
"You two are fortune tellers?"
"Could you please take a look at it?" Su Xiaoxue asked with a smile.
"He's not a master, just an old monk," the monk said with a smile.
"What does it count for? Career, marriage, family?"
"Can I trouble Master to take a look at them?"
The old monk asked for their birth dates and eight horoscopes. Then, he looked at them carefully.
"This young lady was born in a wealthy family. Your family is either rich or respectable. Judging from your appearance, you seem to be a person of great fortune. Judging from your horoscope, when you were in your twenties, you encountered a calamity that threatened your life. It wasn't easy for you to pull through." The old monk's voice was very gentle.
Su Xiaoxue kept nodding her head.
"This is a calamity. After this calamity, your life will be smooth and smooth," the old monk said with a smile.
"What about marriage?"
Su Xiaoxue asked. "Marriage will naturally be smooth," the old monk said.
He then turned to look at Wang Yao.
"Benefactor, judging from your horoscope, your fortune can only be regarded as ordinary, but looking at your face …" The old monk looked carefully and then shook his head.
"What's wrong, Master?" Wang Yao was not in a hurry, but Su Xiaoxue was anxious.
"I can't see through it," the monk said with a smile.
"Benefactor, are you a practitioner?" the monk asked.
"Oh?" Wang Yao was stunned. He didn't expect the monk to be so capable. He could see through this kind of thing. He had underestimated him.
"May I ask how you can see through it?"
"It's just a feeling." The monk smiled.
"Kind of," Wang Yao admitted.
"That's right," the monk said. "That's why I can't see through your face."
"You can't see through it?"
"Yes, practitioners," the monk said. "Some things in the fortune-telling have changed. It is full of uncertainty. Today, your face is like this. Three years later, it may be different. Benefactor, you may want to keep it in your daily life to see if your face is changing."
"Grandmaster, have you seen other cultivators?"
"I have seen one."
"May I ask where he is?" In fact, Wang Yao also wanted to meet other cultivators. He wanted to see what their cultivation was like and what they were practicing.
"There is a monk on Wutai Mountain who has comprehended Buddhist scriptures. He is a real master."
"Wutai Mountain in Shanxi?"
"Yes."
It was a famous Buddhist holy land.
"Well, thank you, Master."
The two of them donated some money at the temple and then left.
"Are you thinking about the master on Wutai Mountain?"
"Yes, I want to go and have a look."
"Shall we go to Wutai Mountain together when we have time?"
"Sure."
After going down the mountain, they went to the most famous mutton restaurant in the area. The restaurant was not small. At least, when they arrived, it was lunchtime. There were many people eating there. However, the taste of the mutton soup was only average. After all, there were so many people eating there. It was difficult to guarantee the taste.
After having dinner, the two of them drove back to Lianshan County.
The team of lawyers hired by Su Xiaoxue from Jing had a very detailed discussion with Zhang Peng about the case. They already had a plan. The next step was to wait for the court to reopen.
Three days later, the court reopened.
This time, there was a big reversal of the verdict. Wang Yao did not have to bear any legal responsibility. This was the final verdict.
The young man named Cao He gave up the right to appeal.
It felt like a child's play.
Sitting in the gallery, Su Xiaoxue asked Chu Lian, who was next to her, "Have you found out about Cao He's situation?"
"Yes," Chu Lian said.
The court announced the verdict. In the car, Wang Yao carefully looked at Cao He's information.
He came from a very poor mountain village in Zhongyuan. He was a student at a key university in China. He majored in psychology and law. His grades were very good. When he was in school, he received a scholarship every year.
"Well, that's great!" Wang Yao praised.
"How could such a person be with those scumbags?"
"Their surnames are Cao, and their hometown is very close. Maybe they are relatives?"
In People's Hospital in Haiqu …
"Doctor, what is the disease of my brother?" Cao Hui asked the attending doctor.
"Miss, to tell you the truth, we haven't determined the specific cause of his illness so far, but his body has a considerable rejection of food. As long as he eats something, it will stimulate his stomach and turn into vomiting. We are now trying to find a way to eliminate this reaction, but the effect is minimal," the attending doctor said. It was the first time he had encountered such a strange illness in all these years.
"It can't be delayed like this," Cao Hui said.
"If you don't want to wait, you can apply to be transferred to a better hospital," the doctor said.
If he couldn't cure them, he wouldn't stop them. He was responsible for the patients and himself.
"OK, thank you, doctor," Cao Hui said.
"It's my pleasure."
She came out of the doctor's office and went to the ward. Cao He was also back.
"How is it?"
Wang Yao asked. "He won. The lawyer was from Beijing," Cao He said.
"Moreover, I think the county court should be under some kind of pressure from the higher-ups. This is just a formality."
"Brother, shall we give up?" Cao He asked.
"If you continue, you may lose your life."
In fact, the main reason Cao He wanted to give up was Cao Meng, who was lying in the hospital bed. Based on Cao Meng's description of the whole thing, Cao He was sure that the reason these people had such diseases was because of Wang Yao. He was a doctor. Over the past few days, he had learned that Wang Yao was a very good doctor. He could treat headaches, leg pain, heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, and many other difficult diseases.
Doctors could cure people and make people sick.
He suspected that Cao Meng was poisoned by Dr. Wang, but they couldn't find out. They didn't have any evidence.
