The color of the Blood Orchid was like blood. It was a magic herb that existed in legends. It was rumored that taking it could cure diseases, prolong one's life, and even make one immortal.
The middle-aged man lay there quietly, listening to the gunshots not far away. He ate the Blood Orchid that had just been picked. One, two. At first, he didn't have much of a reaction when he ate them. Gradually, he felt the changes in his body. It was as if something was burning in his body. A heat was slowly spreading throughout his body.
It worked, and it worked so fast!
As his body recovered some strength, he sped up and ate a bag of Blood Orchid. He didn't have time to savor it. It was like a cow chewing peony.
"Where is he?" someone shouted.
"Here!"
Footsteps were heard. Someone was coming quickly.
The middle-aged man took a few deep breaths and lay on the ground.
After a short while, two fully armed men arrived in front of them.
"What about the Blood Orchid?"
Looking at the empty bag, the two men were stunned.
"Who is this man?"
One of them leaned down and found that the man lying on the ground was in rags and covered in blood. He was no longer breathing. His face was a strange blue-black color.
"He is dead!"
"There must be other people in this valley!"
"Could it be them?"
"Let's go!"
The two men quickly left.
The middle-aged man on the ground opened his eyes. He struggled to get up, found a big tree, and hid there without moving. Swish, swish, swish. From time to time, centipedes and terrifying poisonous spiders would pass by him, but he still didn't move an inch. He was like an old monk in meditation.
Thousands of miles away in the mountain village, the sun rose.
On Dongshan Mountain, Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan were two people.
"Sir, I have asked someone to check," Zhong Liuchuan said. "The problem on their side should be solved."
"That's good," Zhong Liuchuan said. "Let's practice boxing."
The master and apprentice practiced boxing on the mountain.
In the morning, Jia Zizai and Hu Mei both got what they wanted and had two happy events. They got a marriage certificate in the small county and bought a house in the mountain village.
"That's great!" Hu Mei's face was filled with a happy smile.
"Should we find someone to renovate it?"
In fact, this house had only been built seven or eight years ago. It was considered a new house in this mountain village. If people lived in it carefully, it would be no problem for them to live there for twenty or thirty years.
"Yes, we do need to renovate it."
They went back to Lianshan County and contacted a renovation team. They made an appointment to renovate the four houses and the small courtyard.
"Ah, this is real life!" After a busy day, in the small courtyard, Hu Mei personally cooked a few dishes while the cool autumn wind blew. Jia Zizai prepared a bottle of red wine and then carefully washed the newly bought wine set.
A few dishes, a bottle of red wine, and the company of a beauty.
"What kind of life were we living in the past?" Jia Zizai sighed.
"Don't think about the past. What we need to do now is to live well in the future." Hu Mei sat down after serving all the dishes.
"Yes, my wife, you are absolutely right!" Jia Zizai clapped her hands.
"Come, have a drink."
Ding! The glass made a crisp sound.
"It's delicious!"
"Then eat more."
"Now I finally begin to understand why you don't want to go out and want to stay in this mountain village," Jia Zizai said.
"Maybe you will feel tired after a few days."
"No, absolutely not!" Jia Zizai said. "I don't want to continue the previous life at all. From now on, we will live here."
"As long as you like it, it doesn't matter where I am." Hu Mei smiled coquettishly.
With such a beautiful woman, what more could a man ask for?
The sky gradually darkened, and the wind on the mountain was a little cold.
It's time to harvest again. In the herbal field, looking at the herbs growing very well, Wang Yao thought. Most of these herbs were ordinary herbs, but in the spirit gathering battle array, they absorbed the aura between heaven and earth day and night. These ordinary herbs were not so ordinary anymore.
I'll use most of them for myself.
Since the formation of the array, he had never sold any of these herbs. After harvesting them, he processed them himself and used them as medicine. Things were different now. He had some ideas. After Nanshan Medical Company was completed, the first batch of medicinal materials needed to use the herbs on the mountain. At least some of them should be used. Also, when preparing the Primordial Spirit Soup, he wanted to personally guide the process.
It was said that the preparation of the medicine was very simple. It was just to mix the herbs together. In fact, it was not. There was still a lot of knowledge in it. In particular, the medicine made in batches had to be crushed and mixed. The proportion of the mixture had to be mastered.
It's almost time to upgrade again.
These days, although there were very few tasks, the experience points from seeing patients were constantly increasing. After accumulating over time, it seemed that he could upgrade again.
Nothing happened there overnight.
Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan, in the secret valley, a middle-aged man lurked under a tree for a full day and night. He stayed there like a stone or a piece of rotten wood. He did not move, but there was intense activity in his body. The Blood Orchids he had eaten were playing a huge role. They were repairing his body, expelling part of the virus in his body, and helping him reverse the situation.
Not enough, still not enough!
He opened his eyes and then moved a little. He looked into the depths of the valley.
He stood up, walked out from under the tree, and continued to move forward!
A huge black snake, more than 20 meters long and as thick as a head of water, appeared. The scales all over its body were shining as if they were made of steel.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then followed behind the big snake. He was neither too far nor too close. In fact, this was almost suicidal behavior. He did not dare to breathe. Obviously, the big snake was at the top of the food chain in the valley. Wherever it passed, the animals would panic and make way for it. This had saved him a lot of trouble.
The valley was very large. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It was very irregular.
There was a fragrance.
He smelled the fragrance. It was the fragrance of the Blood Orchids. Not long after, he saw the Blood Orchids. A large number of Blood Orchids grew on a cliff. Below them was a deep pool. The big snake dove into the deep pool. At this time, the pool was a veritable "dragon pool." The middle-aged man stood on the edge of the pool. He did not dare to approach it, let alone go into the water.
What should he do?
After circling around the pool, he found another piece of Blood Orchids in the corner of the pool. Although they did not grow as well as the ones on the cliff, they were still "magic herbs." He quietly walked in front of them and began to pick these Blood Orchids. He picked them while eating them.
The changes in his body were still ongoing, and they continued to happen.
The sky brightened, and the sun rose high in the sky.
Another person came to the valley. This person was wearing a black robe.
He entered the valley. Along the way, the poisonous creatures did not dare to approach him. He did not know what was on his body that restrained those poisonous creatures.
Along the way, he went straight to the pool. When he approached, he slowed down. When he came to the corner of the pool, he was stunned.
"What's going on? Why are there only so few left?" He remembered that the last time he came here, there were many Blood Orchids in the corner of the pool. Although they did not grow as well as those on the cliff, their efficacy was not much worse. However, there were so many left in just a few days.
"Have they been eaten by something?"
He took a closer look, and his face changed greatly.
"Someone has been here!"
At this time, the middle-aged man had reached the exit of the valley. He felt that his body had recovered, which made him happy. The power that had been lost had returned, and the pain had weakened a lot.
"It's amazing!"
He did not expect the herb to be so magical.
Cough, cough, cough. He suddenly coughed. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. The black blood looked a little scary.
Live! Live!
"Hold on. When we get there, we have hope." A car was speeding on the road. There was a man in the car with a pale face and weak breathing. The light in his eyes was about to dissipate. All of it showed that he was in a bad state at the moment.
"How long will it take?"
"Soon."
The car was fast. It was racing against time with the god of death.
In the mountain village, in the clinic …
"Try it. How is my tea?" Wei Hai asked with a smile.
"Well, the aroma is very unique. It's a little …" Wang Yao could not find the right words to describe it for a while.
"A little taste of the sea?"
"Yes, there is a little taste of the sea," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"That's right. The tea trees grow by the sea," Wei Hai said.
"Tea trees grow by the sea?"
"Yes, you don't believe it? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. The tea trees grow on the cliff by the sea. They are wild. I spent a lot of effort to get the tea. You can't buy it even if you have money. They don't sell it at all. I came to you as soon as I got it. "
"Thank you," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Hey, don't mention it. Do you have any other hobbies besides drinking tea? Hey, I'll go to Jingdezhen in a few days and bring you a good tea set."
"No need." Wang Yao waved his hand.
"You must. A good horse needs a good saddle. Good tea needs a good tea set," Wei Hai said.
Knock, knock, knock. There was a hurried knock on the door.
"You came so quickly. You drink first. I'll see the patient first."
"Okay."
The door was opened. A man carrying a patient came in. There was a middle-aged man behind him. It was Zhou Xiong.
"Sir, sorry to trouble you again."
"You're welcome. Come in."
