Chapter 299: Everything Was Dry

The Prolongation pill was something which people wanted but could not have. In Jing City along, the Guo family, Su family, Dr. Chen, and Dr. Li all wanted the pill. Wang Yao only gave it out to the three people whom he was the closest with — his family. He specifically instructed them to only use it during personal emergencies.

His sister did not do so.

However, she did save someone’s life.

“Yao, is the pill which you gave us very precious?”

“Well, it’s alright,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

To be honest, as long as he named his price, people who knew the magic of the medicine would certainly do anything to get it.

“Father, have you used the medicine I formulated for you?”

“I have. It’s pretty good,” Wang Fenghua answered with a smile.

“You should still smoke less. I suggest you to drink more tea.”

“Okay,” Wang Fenghua responded with a smile.

After dinner, just as he was about to go up the hill after giving his parents a massage, the secretary of the mountain village came to his house.

“Uncle.”

“Are you going up the hill again?”

“Yes. Please come in.” Wang Yao invited Wang Jianli into the family’s house, and brewed some tea for the two of them.

After a few moments of small talk, Wang Jianli revealed his intention of visiting.

According to the latest talks for the county, they planned to repair a road in the north of the village for the development of the Lijiagou Hot Spring. Wang Yao’s family still owned a few pieces of land there which might be occupied. In fact, Wang Jianli’s visit here wasn’t entirely planned out; it was done spontaneously. As he walked to the entrance of the alley when he came out for a walk after dinner, he suddenly thought of this situation, so he went to Wang Yao’s house. A notice regarding this matter was being prepared to be posted in the village soon. He came to let them know first, as well as to express his intentions.

“This is just a plan, after all.”

“Okay, thank you for letting me know.”

Wang Jianli stayed at their house for a short while, then made a move to leave. After that, Wang Yao also left to go up the hill.

Repairing a road?

This was nothing but a trivial matter.

The weather was unusually stuffy that night. There was no natural wind neither inside nor outside of the house.

In Wang Fengming’s house, as the spouses spoke, they said, “Phew. It’s all thanks to Wang Yao this time.”

“Yes. There aren’t many young people like him these days.”

Just when the couple was chatting, there was a shout from outside all of a sudden.

“What’s wrong?”

“Stay here. I’ll go out and take a look.”

Wang Fengming came out of his house. He had already heard shouts in the yard. He looked up and vaguely saw a glow of fire int he distance. He walked forward, up to the street, and realized that someone’s house on the middle of the slope on the west side of the village was on fire. The fire was not small. Some people in the vicinity were already helping to put out the fire. Without hesitating for even a second, he rushed over as well.

It was a very dry day.

There would be some firewood stored in the yards of the farmhouses. It was very likely that the fire started there.

The whole house was burned to a crisp.

“What are you doing? Are you crazy?” A few villagers held a middle-aged man back.

“I have to go in!”

“It’s such a huge fire. You’re not going to make it out once you go in!”

Boom. A corner of the house collapsed directly.

There was no fire hydrant in the village. The villagers could only carry buckets and pots of water to extinguish the fire, but the effect was extremely unsatisfactory after all.

The family watched as more than half of their house was burnt. Their surrounding neighbors were very worried. They were afraid that the fire would continue to spread. The people in the families went inside and packed up their valuables, just in case. At the same time, though, they found water pipes in their houses and connected it to the tap water to help put out the fire.

They had also called the fire department. However, the fire was basically extinguished by the villagers when the firefighters arrived.

I’m doomed!

The owner of the burnt house plopped down onto the ground.

His house was completely destroyed by the fire. It was impossible to renovate it; it could only be rebuilt from scratch. However, the villagers were superstitious. It would be suspicious to build a new house on the foundations of a burnt house.

Ah!

The man suddenly screamed.

At that moment, as the adrenaline wore off, he only then remembered that his arm was burnt by the flame.

His left arm was scorched. It was a dreadful sight.

Before he could clean up the burned house, he was taken to the hospital.

Wang Yao, who was already on Nanshan Hill, naturally did not know about the incident that happened so suddenly in the village. In the cottage, he prepared the medicinal herbs needed to decoct the Sanyang powder the next day. Then, he recited a scripture and only turned off the lights and went to bed late at night.

In the mountain village, it was not until the early hours of the morning that the crowd completely dispersed. The blaze made people forget about the hot weather temporarily. At the same time, there was another topic to talk about in between meals in the mountain village.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yao got up early.

The wind was somewhat strong on Nanshan Hill. Wang Yao practiced his Chinese boxing on the mountain rock.

There was a pop sound following the punch.

The Pokong Punch pierced through the air.

Wang Yao was getting more and more skilled about this set of Chinese boxing. He also thoroughly understood the profound meaning in within. The punch could crack a stone and split the earth. It could also kill a cow.

With each punch, his neixi surged. His arteries and veins were also flowing smoothly.

This weather!

Wang Yao looked up at the sky and then went back to his cottage.

A bowl of noodles was his simple breakfast that morning.

He added water and burned the firewood. He also added medicinal herbs one by one.

In the multifunctional pot for herbs, the herbal medicine was boiling. The aroma of the medicine permeated the entire cottage.

In fact, the sun was shining brightly outside the cottage. It was the time when the Yang Qi was most abundant.

He finished decocting the medicine in the morning. After that, Wang Yao decocted another herbal medicine which could lower the body temperature and relieve the summer heat. This medicine was relatively simpler to decoct. He decocted it for his grandfather last time. They were all common medicinal herbs. It was also comparatively easier to refine.

In the Su family’s house in Jing City thousands of miles away.

“More than a month has passed and he hasn’t come yet.”

“Let’s wait for a little more.”

“But the medicine is already used up.”

“Ask Boyuan to make a trip there and ask him what he’s going to do.”

Song Ruiping was obviously calmer than the last time because her daughter’s condition was clearly under control and had noticeably improved. She guessed that Wang Yao probably went back to prepare something. She also hoped that Wang Yao would be able to bring them a bigger surprise when he came the next time.

Elsewhere in Jing City, an operation was going on in a well-known hospital in the country.

The festering tissue was removed. The latest technology and medicine were used to perform tissue implantation in order to promote the recovery of the sore.

The surgery ended after more than three hours.

“Phew, this is so tiring.”

Doctors in these large hospitals would sometimes perform several surgeries in a row. The continuous high concentration was an extreme strain on them, which made people feel both physically and mentally fatigued.

When the doctor came out of the operating room, the patient’s family surrounded him.

“How is it, Doctor?”

“It’s not bad. The surgery was quite successful. Next, we’ll have to see how the patient recovers.”

“Thank you. Thank you.”

The two elders seemed to have grown older by 5 years in only a few days’ time.

After the operation, Qu Yang was still unconscious.

In the ward, a doctor came in to ask about the condition of the patient. Then, he asked the two elders, “Where’s Madam Qu?”

“Oh. She just went out. Are you looking for her?”

“It’s okay. It’s not late to say it later.” Professor Su smiled while waving his hands.

“Oh, Mr. Wei.” When he came out of the ward, he unexpectedly saw Wei Hai.

Although he was very dissatisfied with his brother-in-law, Wei Hai still had to check on him out of politeness. Furthermore, his father-in-law and mother-in-law treated him well. Therefore, after arranging matters at home, Wei Hai came over to Jing City. He did not expect such a coincidence. The place where Qu Yang did his surgery was actually the place where he went for re-examinations for a few times in Jing City. It was even the same doctor, who was Professor Su.

What a coincidence!

“Hello, Professor Su.”

“The surgery has just ended. It’s quite successful.”

“Thank you,” Wei Hai replied. Seeing that Professor Su lingered around still, looking like he still had something else to say, he took the initiative to ask him, “Yes? Is there anything else, Professor Su?”

“When the patient’s condition is better, I hope you can fulfill the promise that you made earlier.”

“Promise? What promise?” Wei Hai was startled. He did not remember promising Professor Su anything.

“Oh, didn’t Madam Qu tell you?” Professor Su was also taken aback.

“I’ll ask her later. Sorry to trouble you.”

“No problem.”

Promise? What promise?

Wei Hai looked at his wife as she was walking towards him.

“Why are you here?” The beautiful woman was very delighted after seeing her husband.

“I came over to visit. What did you promise Professor Su?” Wei Hai replied.

“Professor Su?” The beautiful woman was startled. After a moment, she remembered that she had promised Professor Su something earlier.
