The food and atmosphere are very good. Secretary Yang held sway over the territory of high officials, yet he never showed any signs of being on a high horse. Instead, he was completely relaxed.
After eating and drinking to his fullest, Secretary Yang sent his assistant to go and take care of the bills. He continued chatting with Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu for a while, then he said goodbye and left.
Seeing him leave, the hotel owner, who had always been paying attention to one side, rushed out to escort him away.
“Director Tian, you scared me. The background of this honored guest is too grand, ” said the hotel owner laughed at Tian Yuantu, after he waited for Secretary Yang to leave.
“Hahaha, even though your hotel is small, it still has a lot of heart, don't you think!?” Tian Yuantu said with a laugh. “In addition, he is not the only honored guest here. Can't you see! There's still one here!” He pointed at Wang Yao.
“Oh, can you introduce it to Me?” The owner is a smart man. He considered the fact that this man had just shared a meal with one of the few rich and powerful people in Lianshan County, he said, as well as with a recently departed man who had control over the entire territory of high officials. The status of the young man could not be poor.
Tian Yuantu did not say much. He only did a brief introduction and then got into the vehicle with Wang Yao. There was a driver waiting in the vehicle - no one knew when he arrived. Tian Yuantu arranged everything very carefully.
“You have been drinking. You can't drive. I'll let someone bring you back, ” Tian Yuantu said to Wang Yao while in the vehicle.
“Alright then.”
Soon after, Tian Yuantu sent someone to drive Wang Yao's vehicle and bring her home. They stopped by the medicinal shop on their way to pick up the medicine Wang Yao had previously ordered. While on his way home, he suddenly received a call from manager Lee. Lee started by saying something that really surprised Wang Yao.
“Wang Yao, there is nothing I can say but thank you!” Lee suddenly thanked him out of nowhere making Wang Yao slightly dumbfounded.
“What's up?”
Lee said a few more words and Wang Yao finally understood what was going on. After seeing her yesterday, Lee had been thinking deeply for a long time before finally accepting her advice. Immediately after arriving at Lianshan County Hospital, he first underwent an examination. The result was that she was suffering from a serious stomach ailment and the area hospital doctor said she had to undergo surgery. It scared her so much that she rushed to the People's Hospital in Weicheng city to get checked again. He's still in Weicheng right now.
“Wait for me to return. I must show my thanks properly! ” Lee is very polite by phone. His appreciation is wholehearted.
They chatted for a while before finishing the phone call. With regards to this matter, Wang Yao thought it was still a bit sudden.
The driver sent by Tian Yuantu drove him back to the village, then he left in another car. Wang Yao originally wanted to invite her to his house to sit down for a while, rest and then have some tea, but she disagreed. Yuantu just stood at the entrance of the village waiting for the taxi to come. He waited for a while, and because of this, Wang Yao could not help but laugh.
“Do you drink?” After arriving home, Zhang Xiuying, even from a distance, could smell the smell of alcohol on his son's body.
“I drink a little.”
“You drive, but still drink alcohol!” Zhang Xiuying was annoyed.
“I don't drive myself. I have someone driving for me.”
“Then why didn't you invite him to come in and rest?”
“She has something to do, so she goes.” Wang Yao could only answer like that. He couldn't keep saying he invited her. Maybe just because he really didn't want her to come in?
Wang Yao sat at home and drank some tea for a while before returning to the top of the hill. Perhaps because his physical condition was better than that of an ordinary person, but alcohol did not seem to affect him. It was just that his stomach was feeling a little hot, but he was not dizzy and there was no bad premonition at all.
The herbs needed to make the painkillers were all gathered together, but Wang Yao did not rush to boil the medicine.
On top of the hill, he paced back and forth a few times, then he made a cup of tea for himself and recited the scrolls of scripture.
He didn't come home that night. At the top of the hill, he made a pot of egg noodles. He ate it himself and gave it to San Xian and Da Xia to eat. Soon after, he started to think about Ju Lingzhen's matter again, not resting until late at night.
The next day, he woke up early and began another day of religious life and practice. The sun is rising outside. The sun was bright and shining like a flame that could even make the spring water boil a little.
Making medicine this time around is easier as there are not many herbs involved; there are only four types. Three types of drugs have been distributed in order of priority to be mixed. Only licorice root remains.
The fennel tree had lotus-like leaves and its seeds were emerald green, like jade.
Licorice root is the last one added to the mix. Although it did not seem to be some kind of detoxifying herb, it still dissolved quite quickly. The entire medicinal pot quickly obtained a dark green color. The smell of medicine filled the small room.
The process of decoction of the drug is simple and short. As far as its healing effects were concerned, it could only be known by looking at the true results from it.
After the medicine ran out, Wang Yao put it into the container she had prepared earlier. However, he was in no hurry to go to Lianshan.
Baaaa, Baaaa! Suddenly, from the outside came the sound of goats bleating.
Woof, Woof! The loud barking of his dog could also be heard.
Wang Yao came out to take a look. He only saw a goat that did not know how to enter the herbal field. He then saw her jump several times only to be violently dropped by her dog.
This scene shocked Wang Yao. The size of the goat is larger than the dog, but still easy to take down. San Xian had a lot of strength, but he was not allowed to bite! San Xian was actually going to bite the goat; he went straight to the goat's neck. A very strategic attack!
“Build!” The dog let go of its goat after hearing Wang Yao. The goat was about to run away when Wang Yao caught it in his hand, lightly pressing down on it. It was held in that place, unable to take a step.
“Yao, that's my goat,” shouted a voice back then. Following that voice and gazing into the distance, it seemed like it was a man in his fifties. Wang Yao recognized that the visitor was one of the elders from the village.
“How did your goat run here? It was almost bitten by my dog,” Wang Yao said with a laugh.
“I take my eyes off of it! Sorry,” said the man while laughing.
The middle-aged man suddenly felt like a tree sapling in front of his eyes flickering. He then blinked his eyes as much as he could, but the saplings still flickered.
“This is not good. That must be my turbulent pinkie problem again!” The frightened man slowly crouched onto the ground and looked for a place to sit down. He lightly rubbed his head.
“I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy. I just need to rest for a while,” the man said as he rubbed his forehead simultaneously.
“Are you sure? You sit here for a while and rest while I get you a cup of water.”
After saying this, Wang Yao turned around to return and poured some water for him. When he came back out, he saw the man looking at the saplings of the tree and rubbing his eyes.
It's strange! How can I see so much!?” said the man.
Ahah! Wang Yao suddenly realized something after hearing him say this. Seeing trees should create hallucinations. It was a hallucination spell.
“You're just tired, that's all. Get off the hill and rest. Wait until you feel better before going out and dealing with that goat.” Wang Yao could only explain this in such a way.
“Oke, thank you very much!” The man cupped a glass of water with both hands and drank it. He stood up and then suddenly he became dizzy again, almost falling down. Then, he only stood still for a moment before advancing forward.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yao's brows furrowed slightly.
“Wait a minute,” said Wang Yao, calling the man.
“What's up, Yao?”
“I'll check your pulse.”
Wang Yao placed his finger on the man's wrist. This type of behavior made the middle-aged man feel astonished, but he did not say anything in response. Instead, he just squatted down and cooperated.
With full concentration, Wang Yao checked her pulse.
“When you woke up this morning, did you feel a tingling sensation on the left side of your head? And also your left foot does not do what you want?” w.a.n.g Yao asked, pulling his hand.
“You said. Such is. What the hell is going on?” said the middle-aged man after hearing this.
When he woke up so early, his head was completely tingling, and his body was not acting properly — especially the left part of his body. But he didn't take it seriously. He only came to the hill to herd goats as usual.
“Quick, call your family and let them come take you to the hospital,” Wang Yao said urging him.
“Did you say that I'm sick?” the old man asked hurriedly after hearing what was said.
“Very possible. You should go checked.”
Wang Yao was afraid that this elder would not believe him, so he placed more importance on his words.
“I didn't bring my phone!” said the middle-aged man.
“I have one. You can use mine.”
“Oke.” The old man, not feeling quite sure, took his phone and called. His son, who became anxious after answering the phone, immediately got on his motorcycle and climbed to the top of the hill. At this moment, Wang Yao helped the father and son down from the hill.
“Daddy, where do you feel pain?” the boy anxiously asked after seeing his father. Wang Yao was not much older than this brat.
“Some time ago, your father came to the hill to herd sheep. His body became weak and he almost fell down. His head also began to tingle. You have to take him to the hospital. I believe it is a blood clot,” Wang Yao said.
“Blood clot!?” The young man raised his eyebrows and looked at his father. Then he looked at Wang Yao again.
The young man said to himself, Isn't this the man who takes care of the medicinal plants on the hilltop? When did he learn to say someone should go to the doctor? Could it be that he was just talking nonsense to scare us?
“I also hope that I was wrong about him, but his illness cannot be ignored anymore. You still have to take him to the hospital to be checked.”
Just looking at this young man's expression on his face, Wang Yao could tell what he was thinking. But no matter what the boy thought, Wang Yao still urged him to leave.
When Wang Yao checked the man's pulse, he knew his body condition was not good. Blood clots have started to form in his brain—he can't delay it any further. This type of disease is not even within an hour but within a few minutes; delaying it longer can have frightening consequences.
“Thank you very much!” The young man did not say much. He had just brought his father down the hill on his motorcycle.
“How about the goat?” said the old man sitting on a motorcycle.
“I have to trouble you by keeping a goat for a while!” the young man shouted to Wang Yao.
Goat keeper? Wang Yao turned his head and looked at the three goats beside him.
Baaaa, Baaa, Baa!
The young man took his father down the hill and stopped in front of the gate of their house.
