They had been busy the whole day. In the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the mountain village.
"Sister Sirou?"
"Xiaoxue."
It was Guo Sirou. She did not look well. She was a little pale and listless. She was no longer as beautiful and capable as before.
"Happy New Year. Sorry to disturb you."
"Happy New Year. Come, let's go inside."
"I don't want to go inside. Let's go to the clinic." Wang Yao could tell that Guo Sirou was sick. She had been poisoned by a poisonous insect.
"Oh, OK."
The three of them went to the clinic. This was the first patient in the new year of the lunar calendar.
Wang Yao boiled a bowl of medicine for Guo Sirou and gave it to her to drink.
"How did you get poisoned?" Wang Yao wondered.
"I went to He County before the New Year," Guo Sirou said. "I accidentally got poisoned at the place where Zhenghe worked."
"Oh, no wonder," Wang Yao said. "The two poisoned patients I saw before were related to that place. It's better not to go there."
He did not have a good impression of Guo Zhenghe, but he had a very good impression of the woman in front of him. She was beautiful, capable, generous, and well-educated. She was a typical lady from a wealthy family.
"Okay." Guo Sirou nodded gently.
Ever since she came back from Diannan, her body had been very heavy. She was very sleepy, and it was getting worse. She knew that it must be because the venomous insects had not been completely removed. Her family, especially her brother, even went straight home from He County to visit her and persuade her to come here immediately to see Wang Yao. She waited for two days before coming.
"Well, I'll prescribe some medicine for you to nurse your body back to health."
"OK."
Wang Yao went to the room next door to boil the medicine. Guo Sirou and Su Xiaoxue held hands and talked. They were good sisters when they were in Jing. When Su Xiaoxue was sick, Guo Sirou often visited her.
"When did you come? Did you spend the New Year here?"
"No, I came on the third day of the New Year."
The two of them talked about trivial things. Wang Yao boiled a bowl of regather soup for Guo Sirou.
"Here, a bowl."
"Thank you."
After drinking a bowl of medicine, it didn't take long for him to feel much better.
"Sir."
Zhong Liuchuan came in from outside.
"Oh, we'll be there in a bit."
"Alright."
"Sister Sirou, it's getting late. Why don't you stay here tonight? My house has already been cleaned and there's no one living there."
"Why don't you come together tonight?" Zhong Liuchuan asked with a smile.
"Ah?" Guo Sirou was stunned.
"Sure, sure," Su Xiaoxue said.
"This, isn't it inappropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"We're all friends, why don't we go together?"
"Mm, sure." Guo Sirou nodded.
"Let's go."
After taking the two medicines, the poison in her body was completely cured, and her body felt a lot more comfortable. For the arrival of this beauty, Hu Mei and Jia Zizai were naturally very welcoming.
"Sir, shall we sign the white one?"
"Sure, white."
"Well, how about Ma 'am and Ms. Guo?"
"Well, Sister Sirou just took the medicine, so she can't drink," Wang Yao said. "I'll drink less red wine."
"Sure!" Jia Zizai clapped her hands.
They busied themselves for the whole afternoon, preparing a sumptuous dinner.
"Well, Hu Mei's cooking is getting better and better!"
"Sir, you flatter me."
Everyone had a very happy meal, as if they were a family.
Guo Sirou was also very happy. She felt warm and happy there. It was different from when she was with her family at home. There was a little more freedom there.
In the evening, Guo Sirou went to Su Xiaoxue's residence. The two of them lived there. Coincidentally, they lived behind Zhong Liuchuan's house. If there was anything, they could hear it by shouting.
In the evening, Su Xiaoxue accompanied Guo Sirou and talked a lot.
"Xiaoxue, I really envy you," Guo Sirou said softly.
"Envy me?"
"Yes, you can live the life you want," Guo Sirou said. "Unlike me."
"Sister Sirou, is there something bothering you?"
"Nothing." Guo Sirou smiled and waved.
While the two of them were talking, Guo Zhenghe called to ask about her current situation. When he learned that she had received treatment and that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In He County, thousands of miles away …
"Uncle Xu, I want to know more about Miao Changsheng."
"Understood."
Guo Zhenghe immediately called Xu Xinyuan, who was far away in Jing, to arrange a mission.
"Understood, Sir."
Xu Xinyuan immediately took action after receiving the call. He went straight to Tianjin and found Miao Chengtang.
"Miao Changsheng?"
"Yes, that's the name."
"He's the son of Miaoxi River," Miao Chengtang said. "He's the only son of Miaoxi River who is still alive."
"You said that he's at least in his 70s, and his son is only in his 20s?"
"Who said his son is in his 20s?" Miao Chengtang asked. "Miao Changsheng is actually older than me. He's at least 35 this year. "However, Miao Xihe used a special method, which was a secret art from the village, to prolong his life and keep him young." "That's right," Miao Chengtang said.
"Is it really that amazing?"
"I told you, he's indeed very capable."
"Tell me more about Miao Changsheng."
"I don't know much about him," Miao Chengtang said. "In truth, the people in the village knew little about him. He was forced to train by Miaoxi River almost all the time. The slightest mistake would get him locked up. Miaoxi River had two children in the past, but they both died during the chaos in the village."
"Yeah."
"Yeah, I've heard some rumors about him. He seems to be obsessed with beautiful women."
"Yeah, you don't have to be so tactful about it," Xu Xinyuan said with a smile.
"So, he doesn't leave the village?"
"I don't know much about that. In truth, we hardly see him in the village. Miao Chengtang is very strict with him. He's probably worried that he'll cause trouble."
Xu Xinyuan only replied to Guo Zhenghe after learning more about the situation.
Guo Zhenghe paced back and forth in his office after learning all that. He lowered his head and thought about what to do.
"This is going to be difficult to deal with."
He could not just let the person who hurt his sister get away with it. However, he was unable to think of a good way to deal with that person. That person was currently hiding in that remote Valley of Thousands of Medicine, hiding like a turtle. Furthermore, Miao Chengtang did not have any real evidence. He had no idea where to start looking for trouble.
"It's just a matter of time," Guo Zhenghe thought.
Regardless of whether it was for his family or for himself, the Valley of Thousands of Medicine had to be dealt with.
