“Sure, I'll go up the hill. Please keep this a secret for me,” Wang Yao reminded her mother, afraid she would say too much.
“Do not worry.”
Wang Yao left home and returned to Nanshan Hill to take care of the newly planted trees. After planting the tree, the dog became very cheerful and no longer lived in his cage contemplating his dog life. He had been playing gambling around the Nanshan hill, marking his territory.
“San Xian, stop peeing everywhere!”
Woof, woof, woof!
While Wang Yao was busy here on the hill, in other areas, some people in their homes were furious.
“What? Not again? How can it be so coincidental when my relatives want the cure, nothing else? Is it because he doesn't want to give it to us?” Third aunt Wang Yao heard her husband's words and was furious.
“Not him he wouldn't. If he really doesn't want to, he won't cure my illness. He already said he's out of medication, why are you so nagging!” Third uncle Wang Yao lost his temper. After all, it was his nephew, and his illness was cured thanks to him. To him, his wife's words were too unreasonable.
“I think he won't give us medicine. Will it help if I pay him?”
“Do you think he needs your money?”
“What do you mean by that?!”
Crack down! A cup broke onto the floor.
Minor problems and unnecessary suspicions have led to family conflict.
Third uncle Wang Yao slammed the door and left the house, not wanting to stay there.
“Go and don't come back!” The sound of sobs could be heard from the room.
At night, when Wang Yao went down the hill to have dinner at home, she saw her father did not look calm.
“What happened? Dad looks troubled,” whispered to his mother.
“Don't worry about him. Your third aunt called this afternoon. He wants your father to travel to his house. He claims that your third uncle hit him and he wants to divorce him.” Zhang Xiuying was furious. “He wants to go, and I stop him!”
“What is he fussing about this time?” Wang Yao was stunned.
Her aunt and third uncle had threatened to divorce several times before, especially when Wang Yao's grandfather was still alive. At that time, the commotion was bigger. Simply put, the root of the problem is money. His grandfather was a retired teacher who earned a decent income. His third aunt and youngest aunt were both eyeing the old man's retirement. Every time they had a big fight about the little things, they would call the old man over. Of course, Wang Yao's mother also grumbled but was suppressed by Wang Fenghua. Ever since Wang Yao's grandfather died, the commotion between the two families died down.
“Don't say they argue over the cure?”
“Maybe,” replied Zhang Xiuying.
When Wang Yao heard it, he was stunned. Furthermore, he laughed; he was so angry that he laughed in anger! To argue such a small problem—what kind of life is that? Some kind of kids' game?
“If not, let's give the medicine to them?” Zhang Xiuying tested the water and asked.
“Bu, what are you thinking? Don't be like Grandpa, spoil them. If they want to argue, let them. I should interfere less. Fighting over useless things—is this what adults do ?! ” As Wang Yao spoke, he became even more furious. For some time, he had been reading the scriptures every day and was hardly offended. However, this time his anger was ignited because of his own relatives.
“And these people are my relatives; it's ridiculous!”
Dinner was awkward. Wang Yao did not say much during the dinner. He went up the hill immediately after finishing his meal.
Sitting on his stool outside his cottage, Wang Yao silently stared at the starry sky. Beside him was his dog who was also staring at the sky. San Xian looked at the sky for a moment, then turned his head to look at his master and then looked back at the sky.
Ouch. A gust of wind blew.
Wang Yao extended his hand and seemed to have grasped something.
“San Xian, do you feel anything? Looks like the hill wind has changed.”
Guk, the dog replied, not understanding what his master was trying to say.
The night went well.
The next day, before a sunny day, Wang Yao woke up and started to get busy.
Caring for the herb fields and using the diluted ancient springs to water the trees, he was busy with this work until dawn. He then walked more uphill.
Eh? As he approached the peak, he stopped suddenly and turned to look at the trees behind him.
“Is it an illusion?”
He turned around and walked down the hill a few steps, then turned around and walked uphill, repeating it a few times.
“No, it's real. In just a few meters, there is a minute change.”
The arrangement of his spirit gathering battle array had just been completed; it was only a skeleton and far from the actual setting. There are many items that need to be added, upgraded and polished. Even so, he could already feel some effects. In addition to the skeleton, with a distance of only a few meters, the temperature and air circulation have undergone some changes.
“That's great,” Wang Yao muttered. The array he had been pondering for quite some time seemed effective. Therefore, he could continue with this arrangement. He stood there and drowned in that feeling, then went up the hill to a rock. Facing to the east where the light shone, he sat cross-legged, closing his eyes in concentration and directing his inner Qi to circulate throughout his body nonstop.
The light of the morning sun was gentle, yet full of vigor and vitality.
Under the hill, where chickens crowed and dogs barked, smoke from chimneys billowed through the air. Although many homes use liquefied gas, there are still some homes that prefer to use traditional iron cauldrons for cooking.
“What tree did Fenghua's son plant?” This was not the first time the villagers who had climbed the hill discussed the tree Wang Yao had planted.
“Eucalyptus trees, pine trees, banyan— treesno rules!”
“Is it profitable to plant this tree?”
“Cannot be! Better to plant chestnut trees!”
“I think he must be possessed!”
The rumors of the villagers were not noticed by Wang Yao. Even if he heard it, he treated them like a gust of wind, blowing rapidly.
Towards noon, Wang Yao received a phone call. He was Qisheng, who asked where he was, because he had things to discuss with him. They arranged to meet on the hill. Within an hour, He Qisheng drove to the village and stopped at the southern part of the village and walked up the hill.
Eh??
He stared at the hill and watched the trees being planted.
“I haven't been here in a long time and it's changed again.” He Qisheng walked on the winding hill road. On the way, he carefully observed the trees and felt increasingly confused.
“The species is very diverse and random?!”
Woof, woof, woof. He barely approached the herb field before hearing the dog bark.
“You got here so fast!” Hearing the dog's barking, Wang Yao walked out of the hut and saw a dumbfounded He Qisheng staring at the trees on the hill.
“When I called You, I was already in Lianshan County,” He Qisheng said. “I haven't seen you for a few days; your hill has changed and you've planted so many types of trees randomly?”
“I was empty and felt that way, so I planted some to try it,” Wang Yao smiled and replied.
Inside the hut, Wang Yao made him a cup of tea.
“I came this time because of a problem I helped. On qualifying, I've decided that. On the exam, I also helped you sign up for it. I'll tell you right away. Here are some of the ingredients I brought for you. Look when you have time, ” He Qisheng said and put a full package of books on the table.
“So, thank you very much!” Wang Yao was overjoyed to hear that.
In his mind, he thought this matter was difficult to resolve, but to He Qisheng it was easy to resolve.
“No problem,” He Qisheng smiled and replied. It's a small matter for him.
“When do you intend to leave the hill? Is it when you get the certification?”
While chatting, He Qisheng asked a little more. A few days before coming, he spoke to his friend on the phone and learned that the condition of his friend's son had greatly improved with Wang Yao's treatment. Very problematic insomnia is also resolved. Therefore, before he came to Wang Yao's house, he had seen the boy and examined him. Needless to say, he was shocked by the development of the child.
Twenty days had not passed and the boy's illness had changed for the better. It should be noted that this disease has confused many experts. Therefore, there was clear evidence that the young man before him had the best medical skills. Except that her personal rules were strange; although she had extraordinary abilities, she preferred to live in the wilderness and live a life similar to that of a hermit. In ancient times, this unwillingness to be tainted by a corrupted world would be an honorable behavior. However, in the context of modern society, most people would think he is not right.
“When,” Wang Yao smiled and replied.
He has a mission in hand. One hundred days, it had already passed a quarter of the time, and he had only obtained the acknowledgement of around ten people. If he wanted to, there were many people who wanted to seek his help as a doctor, and this mission could be completed easily. However, he wanted to complete the mission in a way that would not bring unnecessary trouble. Some people's illnesses he was willing to see and treat, yet there were others, if he could avoid seeing them, he would rather do so.
“Really!?” He Qisheng was surprised to hear that.
“Ya.”
“Then, can you accompany me somewhere to see a patient?” He Qisheng followed with a question.
“Where?” Wang Yao was in no hurry to accept his request.
“Jing City.”
“No!” Wang Yao refused without hesitation.
“Why?”
“I don't want to go, I don't want to go either,” Wang Yao replied frankly.
Jing City, the capital of the country, was a gathering place of privileged and powerful people. It was also where instability emerged, in the company of a mix of good and bad people.
If his goal was to visit some historical places, he wouldn't mind going. However, given the social status of He Qisheng, and his colleague, Ms. Guo, if he were to go to Jing city, there was a high chance that he would meet someone influential. When that time comes, if everything goes well, it will be fine. However, if he got into trouble, he doubted he could get out of it easily.
“It's okay!” He Qisheng heard his reply and smiled. His expression returned to normal.
He could understand Wang Yao's contemplation. If it was him, he would be just as worried. He stayed at Wang Yao's cottage for a while, drank a cup of tea, chatted for a while, then he got up and left.
