The two of them had a bad aura. The looks in their eyes drifted as they panted. They did not look at w.a.n.g Yao openly. After all, these two people were thinking about how to frame him a while ago.
Could they have come to the mountain village to do some under-the-table deal? w.a.n.g Yao squinted his eyes a little and stared at them.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. w.a.n.g.”
Huh? w.a.n.g Yao was startled.
These two actually knew his name.
The person who spoke was also startled. He realized that he seemed to have just said something wrong.
“Let’s go. Hurry up.”
“Wait.” w.a.n.g Yao blocked their way. “What are you doing here?”
“Hiking.”
“Yes, we’re here to hike.”
Hiking? On such a hot day? w.a.n.g Yao looked up at the sky. Although it was already August, the final dog days were not over. It was still very hot. Moreover, to be honest, except for Nanshan Hill, where he was, there was nothing to look at in the other mountains in the village. What silly person would come here to hike?
These two were lying.
“Let’s go. Hurry up.”
They hurriedly got into the car, turned the car around, and left.
w.a.n.g Yao did not stop them. After all, they did not do anything.
After getting into the car, one of the men said, “Hey, what are we afraid of? We haven’t done anything wrong.”
“d.a.m.n. You were just talking about how to frame him just now.”
“He’s alone. We have two.”
“This is his village. He just has to shout and at least 10 people will come running. I can’t come out with you next time. You’re going to bring me trouble sooner or later.”
Looking at the car that was moving further away, w.a.n.g Yao seemed to be deep in thoughts.
That night, the mountain wind was cool on Nanshan Hill. Yin Qi was the most abundant from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.
w.a.n.g Yao began to decoct the herbal medicine that needed to be done in a specific time frame.
The starry sky was bright at night. There was a dim light on the hill.
The medicine was successfully decocted and stored in a white-porcelain bottle. There was a bone-piercing chill when the bottle was held.
He packed up the utensils. The light on the hill did not go out until past 2 a.m.
The sky was clear the next day, most likely since autumn had just started. It was still quite cool in the morning and at night.
Sun Zhengrong came early. There was only one car this time.
“Thank you,” he said sincerely after receiving the medicine. He had already transferred the money into w.a.n.g Yao’s bank account.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Sun.”
Sun Zhengrong stayed at w.a.n.g Yao’s place and chatted for a while. He also tasted the grapes that w.a.n.g Yao had personally planted.
“This is delicious!” This was his sincere admiration instead of a flattery. The grapes were indeed tasty.
“Take two bunches with you then.”
“Thank you.”
Sun Zhengrong had another bag in his hands when he left. There were two bunches of grapes inside, which looked like purple agate.
Earlier, Sun Zhengrong had asked, “Dr. w.a.n.g, are you planning to receive other patients?”
w.a.n.g Yao had replied, “Just some people whom I’m relatively familiar with.”
Most of the patients he received were introduced by his relatives and friends. Of course, there were exceptions, such as Fang Zhengyuan. Although he was also introduced by Wei Hai, they were actually not familiar with each other.
“Okay.”
It was enough for him to know that he could receive patients.
Sun Yunsheng was still in a hotel in Lianshan County.
He had been revealing a painful facial expression from time to time, but he forcefully suppressed it with his strong will.
Ever since he started taking the medicine given by w.a.n.g Yao and recovered his sanity, he realized that his body was very weak. This was true, but his will was a lot stronger. He could endure the pain in his body, which made him feel as if he was being grilled on a flame. The torture of this terrible illness had tempered his will, just like forging steel.
“Young Master, hang in there for a little longer. Master will come back soon.”
“Okay. I’m fine.”
Sun Zhengrong came back in time.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine, Father.” Sun Yunsheng smiled.
“Take the medicine quickly.”
He hurriedly took out the medicine, which was life-saving.
There was a biting chill when the medicine was held, but Sun Yunsheng felt refreshed. The bone-piercing chill after the medicine was drunk could neutralize the terrible, scorching heat in his body, making him feel indescribably cool. It was as if he took a refres.h.i.+ng, cold bath during the dog days of summer.
Phew. He drew a long breath.
“How do you feel?”
“It’s suppressed.”
Sun Zhengrong also heaved a long sigh of relief.
His son’s illness could be delayed by another month.
Although his illness could not be cured completely, the medicine could at least save his life, even if it was just for a month. Things might turn for the better in a month’s time, right?
“What’s this?” Sun Yunsheng pointed at the bag Sun Zhengrong was holding.
“They’re grapes from Dr. w.a.n.g’s place. Taste them. They are extremely delicious.”
“Okay.”
w.a.n.g Yao had reminded him that due to his illness, he could not eat most things, especially food with high heat content. However, he could eat fruits.
“Mmm. It’s delicious,” Sun Yunsheng praised sincerely.
“Eat more. We’ll go back to Dao in the afternoon.”
“Okay.”
In the afternoon, Chen Boyuan went to w.a.n.g Yao’s medical center and brought medicinal herbs, which w.a.n.g Yao needed. These were just a portion of what he needed. However, they were expensive because they were all wild herbs.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
He hoped these medicinal herbs would be enough for him to exchange some special items.
w.a.n.g Yao stared at the medicinal herbs that filled up the courtyard.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, I’d like to ask you about something.”
“Go ahead.”
“Can I bring a patient here to receive treatment?” Chen Boyuan asked.
“Sure,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile.
“Alright.”
The lower half of Chen Boyuan’s father-in-law’s body had lost its cognition after falling ill the year before. It forced him to use a wheelchair. However, he was only in his 70s. Chen Boyuan’s wife had been muttering about his matter. He had seen many doctors, but there was no good results.
“Are you free next week?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll bring him over then.”
“Okay.”
…
In Ji.
Li Shaoyang finally got out of bed and could walk, but his body become so skinny that he could be blown away by a gust of wind. He had to stop and take a break after just a few steps.
Sigh, I feel like a disabled person now. This is all thanks to w.a.n.g Yao! His eyes were full of anger once he thought about it. I wonder how he has been handling the matter?
He picked up his phone and made a phone call.
“He still has a sister.”
“Where is she working at? The Agriculture Department? Good, good. This is great!”
Lying on the sofa, Li Shaoyang stared at the ceiling. He seemed to be in a daze. After a while, he smiled somewhat sinisterly.
Since he could not do anything directly to w.a.n.g Yao, he would have to start with his loved ones. However, he had to get his father’s approval.
“The Agriculture Department?” After hearing what his son said, Li Yaosheng, who had returned home, frowned a little.
“Yes. His sister is in the Agriculture Department.”
“What do you want to do?”
“Can you think of a way to get his sister to come to Ji? I don’t believe that he won’t give in by then!”
After being silent for a while, Li Yaosheng nodded his head and responded, “Okay.”
…
At night, w.a.n.g Yao looked at the sky on Nanshan Hill.
It was going to rain quite heavily.
These past two days, he had been thinking about the two people he seen the other day.
Could it be they’re coming for me?
It started raining early in the morning. w.a.n.g Yao went down the hill in the rain. He went to the production brigade and checked the surveillance videos of the past few days. The position of the monitors in the village were quite well-arranged. The images were considered to be clear. Soon, w.a.n.g Yao spotted a clue.
The car and the two people seemed to be monitoring him. They were indeed coming for him.
After writing down the license plate number, w.a.n.g Yao started looking for these two people decisively through his connections.
“Zhao Sen?”
A day later, he heard the name again.
“It’s him again?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
Looks like I’ll have to spare some time and meet Brother Sen!
