It was so cold that one could see the heat from his breath.
"Sir." Seeing Wang Yao, they took the initiative to come over and greet him.
"Go to the hill?"
"Yes."
"OK, go ahead."
Wang Yao turned and walked in the direction of his home. Before he reached the door, he saw a car rushing over in a hurry. It sped past him and went straight to the south of the village.
"See a doctor?"
He stopped. As expected, he saw a man jump out of the car. A woman was holding a child. She looked very anxious. He hurriedly turned around. His pace was not fast, but he arrived outside the clinic in a very short period of time.
"Why is the door closed?!"
The couple was sweating profusely.
"What's wrong with the child?" Wang Yao looked at the child in the woman's arms. Her face was slightly pale.
"He choked on something to eat."
"Let me see."
Wang Yao looked carefully. Then, the child patted him twice on the back. With a cry, the child spat out a ball of food from his mouth. Then, he cried out loud.
"The child is too young to eat this kind of food." Wang Yao looked down and found that it was unchewed peanuts.
"Ah, we didn't want to. We didn't see it. He just stuffed it into his mouth."
Wang Yao looked carefully. After confirming that there was no other problem with the child, he said to the couple, "OK, it's all right. You can go back."
"Thank you so much."
"In return, you must pay attention in the future."
"Thank you. How much is it?"
"Forget it." Wang Yao waved his hand and turned to walk home.
"Thank you." The man did not forget to stop and thank him when he drove past him.
"Go ahead. Slow down."
Wang Yao slowly returned home.
"You're back." Zhang Xiuying was preparing dinner.
"Mom, do you need me to do anything?"
"Nothing. Just stay in the room. It's just the two of us tonight."
"Where's Dad?"
"He went out to drink."
After dinner, the mother and daughter stayed in the room to watch TV. At around eight o 'clock, Wang Fenghua came in from outside. He still smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.
"You're back, Dad. How many glasses did you drink?"
"More than three cups, half a liter of wine," Wang Fenghua said with a smile.
"Please wait a moment. I'll bring you some water." After dinner, Wang Yao brought his father a bowl of hangover soup. Drinking it could help relieve the effects of alcohol and protect the intestines and liver.
"When I was drinking just now, I heard that two more families moved away from the village," Wang Fenghua said after drinking a mouthful of soup.
"Who is it?"
"The Maosheng brothers."
"Oh." Zhang Xiuying responded.
"Someone bought two more houses and renovated them. Yao, do you know him?"
"Yes, I know him. He's the Zheng Weijun who opened the pharmaceutical factory with me. You've met him before."
"It's him. He's quite rich, isn't he?"
"But, he's extraordinarily rich," Zhang Xiuying said.
"Rich people's minds are different from ours," Zhang Xiuying said. "People in the village want to go out, but they want to come in."
"There will be more and more people coming in the future," Wang Yao said with a smile. "Some people want to come, but they can't!"
"Who will come back?"
"That's not necessarily true," Zhang Xiuying said.
Now, the village was no longer allowed to build houses. They could only renovate the original houses. The number of houses was limited.
After chatting with his parents for a while, he went out to Nanshan Hill at around 9 o 'clock.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, the father of the child he had treated the day before came with a silk banner. It said, "Hua Tuo is alive, and he is benevolent."
The man had customized the banner to express his gratitude to Wang Yao.
"Thank you."
Wang Yao took the banner with a smile.
In the morning, he suddenly came to the clinic.
"Sir, I've encountered a problem in my practice," Zhong Liuying said.
"What's the problem?"
He immediately told Wang Yao about the difficulties he had encountered during his practice. It was a typical bottleneck. No matter how he practiced, there was no progress.
"Are you in a hurry?"
Wang Yao asked. "Of course not." He immediately understood what Wang Yao meant. "Sorry to bother you, Sir."
"Read more Taoist scriptures," Wang Yao said.
"Got it, Sir," Zhong Liuying said.
Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan …
"You have news so soon?"
"I was afraid you would be anxious, so I told you first," Xu Xinyuan said as he looked at the exceptionally mature man sitting across from him. He did not know why the young man had an intersection with such a force.
"Go ahead."
"This place really exists," Wang Yao said. "It is in southern Yunnan, but the location is very remote. It is in the forest, and the road is rugged and difficult to travel. It is a very closed village. They are very resistant to outsiders. I once got close to them, but I found that there were hidden sentries in the jungle outside their place."
"Are they good at using poison?"
Wang Yao asked. "According to the information I know, they are extremely good at using poison and poisonous insects," Xu Xinyuan said.
"Sir, I don't recommend you have any interaction with them because they are too dangerous."
Based on the information he had gathered in the past few days, this village had existed for hundreds of years or even longer. Moreover, there were legends about them in this generation. He had always been unwilling to come into contact with this kind of village that was similar to a hidden sect in Jianghu.
After existing for a long time, they naturally had some means and heritage.
"I don't want to, but they seem to have come to us," Guo Zhenghe said with a smile.
"The latest autopsy report came out," Guo Zhenghe said. "The same unknown toxin was found in the bodies of the 11 people. It was very weak, but it did exist." The reason why it had not been detected before was that the detection methods and equipment in the city were limited.
"What do you want to do?"
"Is there anyone in the village outside?"
"I'm still asking about this, but they are too closed."
"If there is, let's get in touch with them first."
"Okay."
Xu Xinyuan drank a cup of tea and left.
"The Valley of Thousands of Medicine, hidden from the world, huh!" Guo Zhenghe narrowed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
The sunset was infinitely beautiful, but it was close to dusk.
Near evening, a car with a foreign license plate drove into the mountain village.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes, this is the place."
A man in a suit and glasses got out of the car. He knocked on the door and entered the clinic.
"Sorry, I don't plan to make a house call recently." After hearing the man's intention, Wang Yao directly refused.
"More money is negotiable," the man said. "This patient's situation is a bit special. It is really not suitable for travel."
"I've said that," Wang Yao calmly said.
"Well, if you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them as long as I can."
Wang Yao did not speak. He just waved his hand.
The man came out of the clinic with some disappointment and got into the car.
"How is it?" a man in his 40s in the back seat asked.
"Sorry, he doesn't want to make a house call," the man said.
"It's not your fault," the middle-aged man said. "I know his temper is a bit strange."
"Is there any other way?" the man asked.
"I heard that his parents and a few of his friends are in this village," the man said. "Maybe we can start with them."
"Don't disturb his family. Ask his friends."
"OK."
"Xiao He, you stay and deal with this matter."
"Yes."
The car left the village.
The next morning, Jia Zizai and Zhong Liuchuan ran together and came to the foot of Dongshan Mountain. Jia Zizai ran to the village as usual.
"Come up." A voice came from the mountain. It was not loud, but it was at least 100 meters away. It accurately and clearly reached his ears.
Hearing the voice, Jia Zizai was stunned. He looked around and looked up at Wang Yao.
"Sir, is that you?" He shouted toward the mountain, but his voice quickly dissipated.
"Yes, it's me. Go up the mountain." Wang Yao's voice came down from the mountain and accurately reached his ears.
"OK!" Jia Zizai was very happy. He knew what it meant.
He hurried up the mountain as fast as he could. He even fell once because of excitement.
"Sir."
"From today on, you will learn from Liuchuan," Zhong Liuchuan said.
"OK, Sir!" Jia Zizai was happy.
His persistence over the past few days had not been in vain. He had finally waited for this day.
"Senior."
Zhong Liuchuan nodded with a smile.
