"Uncle, you're already old. You definitely can't do heavy physical work. Moreover, in this situation, I think you'd better take care of yourself so that Brother Zecheng won't be distracted again. How about this? I'll also persuade him not to be so tired."
The old man was silent. He understood what Wang Yao meant. He also knew that his health was not very good, but this was not the result he wanted. He wanted to share part of his son's burden and make money. He didn't want to be a burden to the family.
"Uncle, you don't have to go outside to make money," Wang Yao said. "The pharmaceutical company in town is about to start. It will definitely use a lot of herbs. The mountains in our village are suitable for growing herbs. I told Brother Zecheng to grow more herbs. We don't have to worry about sales."
"Ah, I heard Zecheng say that. That's good!"
"Do you have anything else to say, Uncle?"
"Ah, it's all right," the old man said. After hearing Wang Yao's words, the family would have another source of income in the near future. The old man's mood suddenly improved a lot. There was a smile on his face, and he was not as sad as he was when he came to visit.
"Uncle, take care." Wang Yao walked the old man to the door.
"Okay."
The old man slowly walked home. On the way, he was thinking about whether he should discuss with his son to grow more herbs. He didn't have other skills, but he was an expert in the field. After all, he had been doing this for most of his life.
Because of the opening of the pharmaceutical company, Wang Yao's trip to Jing had to be delayed.
He sent a text message to Su Xiaoxue. Earlier, Su Xiaoxue had specifically asked him to tell her when the company opened.
"I'll take some time to go," Su Xiaoxue replied almost instantly.
"Focus on your studies," Wang Yao replied. At this time, Su Xiaoxue should be in class. The two of them didn't talk much. They just confirmed that Su Xiaoxue would come to attend the opening ceremony of Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company.
In the small mountain village, the cold wind blew. Time passed slowly for three days.
That morning, Wang Yao hung a wooden sign on the door of the clinic. He would not be receiving patients today as he had other things to do.
"Yes, I asked you to come over today because I have something to discuss with you."
"Sir, please tell me if you need anything," Zhong Liuchuan said.
"It's like this. I want to see if the medicine you've been taking for the past few days has achieved the desired effect," Wang Yao said. He had asked them to come over today to experiment on them.
"Sure, how do you want to test it?" Jia Zizai asked.
"Simple."
Wang Yao took out a small glass bottle. Inside it were a few small black bugs that looked a little ferocious. These insects were taken from the Li Family Creek hot spring.
"What are these bugs?"
"Are they the ones from Lijiagou Hot Spring Mountain?" Jia Zizai recognized the insects at first glance.
"Yes, these bugs grow in places with strong geothermal heat," Zhong Liuchuan said. "Their bodies have mutated and can secrete a special kind of venom. The toxicity is hot. People who are poisoned will have a reaction in a very short time."
"I'll do it," Jia Zizai said.
He knew that with Wang Yao there, the poisoning was no threat to them at all.
"OK."
Wang Yao took out a poisonous bug and put it on the back of his hand. The poisonous bug immediately attacked Jia Zizai. Jia Zizai felt a burning pain on the back of his hand as if he had been stung by a bee. The next moment, the bug was taken back into the glass bottle by Wang Yao.
"OK, sit down."
The place where the bug had bitten soon became red and swollen.
"How do you feel?"
Zhong Liuchuan asked. "The back of my hand is burning, like being scalded by hot water." Jia Zizai said. "The burning feeling is still spreading, along the arm to the rest of my body."
Wang Yao reached out to check his pulse.
"It's not a big problem."
Zhong Liuchuan and Hu Mei sat aside. Hu Mei was a little nervous.
"Don't worry, it's all right," Wang Yao comforted her.
"OK," Hu Mei responded.
"I'm a little hot," Jia Zizai said after about half an hour. "I'm a little thirsty."
"Oh, have some tea," Wang Yao said with a smile.
The tea he had brewed for them was good green tea. The aroma was overwhelming.
"My head is a little dizzy," Jia Zizai said after an hour.
He felt as if he had caught a cold and had a fever. His body was uncomfortable, dizzy, and weak.
"Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Zhong Liuchuan asked. "No, I can hold on," Jia Zizai said with a smile.
The feeling was still getting worse.
"My chest is a little tight."
Wang Yao wrote down what he said.
After an hour and a half, the needle on the clock pointed to less than 10: 30. "The feeling of discomfort is beginning to subside."
"Subside?"
"Yes."
Soon, Jia Zizai felt that the burning feeling began to subside. The feeling of dizziness and discomfort was also rapidly weakening.
After another hour, the feeling of discomfort had completely disappeared.
"Well, Sir, I don't feel anything now."
Well, Wang Yao nodded and calculated the time.
"It's time for lunch. Let's go. I'll treat you to lunch."
"No, Sir," Hu Mei said.
"Well, that's settled," Wang Yao said. "Let's go. I don't have Hu Mei's cooking skills, so I can only treat you to a restaurant."
Wang Yao drove the three of them to the hotel in the village. He ordered a few side dishes and a bottle of good wine.
While they were eating, a car hurried to the outside of the clinic. After the car stopped, a man hurriedly got out and opened the back door. A woman got out of the car with a child in her arms. The two of them were very anxious. When they arrived outside the clinic, they found that the door was locked.
"He's not here?"
"What should we do?"
"Let's wait," the man said.
"Go to the car and wait. It's too cold outside."
The two of them returned to the car. The woman looked at the child in her arms. Her face was slightly pale. She was sleeping soundly.
"Is he not in the clinic today?" the man asked.
"No, I saw his Weibo. He just doesn't receive patients in the morning."
The couple waited anxiously in the car. They looked outside from time to time.
Wang Yao didn't come back until two o 'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as they saw him, the two of them got out of the car.
"Dr. Wang."
"Well, come in and talk." He glanced at them and then looked at the child in the woman's arms.
"Dr. Wang, look at our child."
His face was pale, and his breathing was weak.
What is this?
"In a coma?" Wang Yao was startled. He reached out and touched the child's wrist.
"What a strange disease."
"How old is he?"
"Two and a half."
"When did he start to have this problem?"
"It's been six months," the woman said. "I've been to many places, but I haven't seen anything wrong with him."
She didn't know what was wrong with her child. In the past six months, he often fainted for unknown reasons. As time went by, the interval between fainting became shorter and shorter.
