Chapter 337: Initial Effect of the Medicine

This is so difficult! Wang Yao sighed.

A hundred people from a thousand miles away.

Fortunately, the time allotted was two months, instead of a month. He had some time to find a way.

In another mountain village in Lianshan County, the look in the patient’s eyes as she laid on the kang was drifting. She looked as though she was going to die.

Ah.

She let out a weak cry, but there was no one in the room.

Her eyes were slowly closing. If they were shut, it was afraid that she could never open them again.

“Mother!”

She heard someone shouting and calling for her. She felt that the voice was very familiar and she wanted to open her eyes and see. However, she felt that she had no strength at all, not even enough to open her eyes.

“Father!”

Jiqing was very anxious upon seeing his mother’s condition.

His father hurriedly rushed over from the courtyard. He was also anxious upon seeing the situation.

“Quick. Give her the medicine.”

He took out some medicine and he just managed to force one of them into her. There was no immediate visible effect.

“This… This…”

“There are more.”

He immediately took out the three Nine Herbs pill given by Wang Yao and fed her all of them.

After waiting for a while, they thought that the old woman could not make it.

Then, the patient lying on the kang slowly opened her eyes.

Phew.

“Jiqing.”

“Mother, you’re awake.”

The process was just ten minutes, but her family felt as though it had been a century long.

The woman lying on the bed felt that she had a long dream. She was walking in the dark night alone and could not see her surroundings clearly. She could not even see anything under her feet clearly. There was no one around and not a single sound. She just kept walking, as if there was no end. Suddenly, a light pierced through the endless darkness. She returned to the world and saw her loved ones and their worried facial expressions.

She was alive!

“She’s awake. She’s awake.”

The whole family heaved a sigh of relief, but it didn’t take long for them to start worrying again.

This was not the first time that such a situation had happened. She was getting closer to death by the moment. She could be saved this time, but what about the next time? What about in the future? How long could she still hold out? No one could tell.

Sigh.

The whole family surrounded by fear once again.

Sigh. Was this daytime or nighttime?

Although they were husband and wife for decades, he had enough.

After all, people needed sleep. But if they took a nap and dozed off, their loved one might leave them forever by the time they woke up.

Therefore, when there was a person in the family who was ill, the whole family had to go through agony.

When is this life coming to an end?

The night had fallen and it was getting late.

…

After dinner, Chen Changfeng asked his mother, “Mother, how are you feeling?”

“I feel quite well. My head hasn’t hurt for a day already. I’ll certainly be able to sleep well tonight.”

Ever since she suffered from the strange illness, having a good sleep was a luxury that was hard to come by. However, she felt that she could definitely sleep well that day, and could even sleep through until the morning.

“When you’re free, take me to thank Dr. Wang.”

“We’ll talk about it when you’ve recovered,” Chen Changfeng replied.

…

That night, Wang Yao was thinking about something while looking at the sky in the small courtyard.

How should I use the medicine? How should I test it?

He had been thinking about the tumor these past few days.

Ring, ring. Buzz. Just as he was wracking his brain, his phone rang. It was a phone number which he didn’t recognize, with an international number.

“Hello, what are you doing?” There was a clear voice like a mountain stream on the other end of the phone. It was Tong Wei, the beauty who was far away in France.

“I’m looking at the sky on the hill,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“Do you miss me?”

“I do!” Wang Yao answered with a smile.

“I’m coming back soon,” Tong Wei who was on the other end of the phone said.

“When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up at the airport,” Wang Yao replied hurriedly.

“A week later. I’ll give you a call when the time is confirmed.”

“Sure.”

Both of them only hung up after chatting for quite some time.

She’s coming back so soon?

Well, come to think of it, Tong Wei had actually left more than two months ago. Wang Yao had not been idle during this period of time.

It’s good for her to be back.

That night, Wang Yao went to bed very late. He did not turn off the lights until past 11 o’clock at night.

Early morning the next day, the sky was clear and the autumn wind was refreshing.

The weather had became a lot cooler. The temperature had dropped to less than 25 degrees. Autumn was truly coming.

In the morning, Wang Yao returned home and realized that his mother was packing clothes for him.

“Mother, what are you doing?”

“These are autumn clothes. It’s cool on the hill. Don’t catch a cold,” Zhang Xiuying replied as she packed his clothes.

“Aye, neither the hot nor cold could not invade me. Even during winter, it’s not a problem for me to just wear a short-sleeved shirt.”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

She did not know that her son was speaking the truth.

“You don’t have to pack so many pieces. I’m just on the hill, not at some faraway places. I’ll come back and take it if I need to.”

“I know how lazy you are.”

Just like that, Zhang Xiuying packed a huge box of clothes for Wang Yao.

Sigh. Wang Yao sighed.

A mother’s love was like the ocean. What could he say?

At noon, a sumptuous lunch was served because there were guests, who were Wang Yao’s uncles. They would usually visit Wang Yao and his family. He was here to give out an invitation card.

“Is Yilong getting married?”

“Yes.”

“This is great!” Wang Fenghua exclaimed.

Wang Yao knew that his two uncles had no luck in marriages. They were both in their thirties, but they were not married yet. The age of the uncle in front of him would be 32 years old this year, whereas the one who was getting married was 36 years old this year. Their family originally lived in this mountain village as well, but they moved away later. Wang Yao was not sure why.

“Okay. Go back and tell your father that I’ll be there for sure!” Wang Fenghua said.

“Alright.”

“Why don’t we have some beer?”

“Sure. We’ll drink some.”

During lunch, Wang Yao realized that his uncle was still the same as before. He seemed to lack the masculinity that men should have.

“Yishan, did anyone talk to you about finding a partner lately?” Wang Yao’s mother asked.

“Someone talked to me about it before. That woman is too good with words.”

“What’s wrong with that? The key thing is, what’s she like?”

“She’s alright.”

When Wang Yao heard this, he felt that his uncle did not even want to talk to her, or that he was not even interested in her.

Sure enough, his mother did not continue to ask.

“Is Yishan lacking?” After Wang Yao’s uncle left, Wang Yao’s mother said to his father.

“Don’t talk nonsense. What’s wrong with him? I think he’s quite good.”

“Quite good? He hasn’t even found a partner until now.”

“What’s wrong with that? It’s just that fate hasn’t arrived yet. Your son hasn’t found one too!”

This is bad!

When Wang Yao heard this, he decisively got up and ran out.

“Stop right there.”

“I have an appointment with someone today. I’ll get going first.” Wang Yao dashed out of the house swiftly.

Sigh. It was an unexpected calamity. He was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

After coming out of his house, Wang Yao did not go up the hill in a hurry. Instead, he went to the medical center. He did not lie when he was at home just now. He was really going to meet a friend, Wang Mingbao.

He had just brewed a pot of tea when he heard the sound of the door being opened. Wang Mingbao was here.

“Isn’t it busy in the shop?”

“It’s alright. Someone’s helping me to keep an eye on it.”

“Is there a matter?”

“There really is,” Wang Mingbao replied.

“Go ahead and say it. What is it?” Wang Yao.

“Do you know County Magistrate Dai?”

“County Magistrate Dai? Which County Magistrate Dai? I don’t know him. Why?” Wang Yao was startled.

“Sss, that’s weird then.” Wang Mingbao was dumbfounded.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

He then clarified his reason for coming. It turned out that the secretary of the town felt unwell all of a sudden and he might retire in advance. As a result, there would be a vacancy. This opportunity was hard to come by. Wang Mingbao’s father naturally wanted to move up. After all, a mayor was still different from a secretary. However, there were other people who were eyeing at this position. One must have the support in the county. He inadvertently heard his father saying that County Magistrate Dai had mentioned Wang Yao before. He thought that Wang Yao knew him, so he came over to ask.

“I don’t know who County Magistrate Dai is, but I think I know someone who knows him,” Wang Yao suddenly remembered who County Magistrate Dai was.

“Who?”

“Tian Yuantu.”

He remembered that Tian Yuantu seemed to have had several meals with County Magistrate Dai before and they seemed quite close to each other.

“Him?”

“If Uncle wants to move up a bit, I can help a little,” Wang Yao said.

“Wait, is it him?” Wang Mingbao remembered that Wang Yao knew another imminent person and the person just had to speak a few words for this matter.

“Yes.”

“Then…”

“I’ll go to Haiqu tomorrow,” Wang Yao answered.

After all, it was his buddy’s matter. Moreover, it would be beneficial to Wang Yao if Wang Mingbao’s father became the head of the town.

“Thank you.”

“We’re buddies. Don’t be so polite. Drink some tea.”

“Oh yeah, the grapes which I’ve eaten last time were quite good. Do you still have them?”

“Yes.”

“Can you give me two bunches when I leave later?”

“Sure, no problem.”

Wang Mingbao stayed for a while and both of them chatted. He then carried two bunches of grapes and left.

Chen Changfeng was extremely happy that day because his mother slept well the night before. She slept through until the morning and she did not have a headache. His business had expanded quite a lot these few years, but he had somewhat neglected his family. His father passed away two years ago. From then onwards, he realized the importance of family. Once his mother began to suffer from headaches, he took a lot of trouble to cure his mother’s illness, but there wasn’t much of an effect There was actually an effect this time, which made him very happy.

He should express his gratitude towards Dr. Wang.

…

“What did you say?!”

“I said that I can move my legs a little. Look.”

“It’s real!”

Looking at the light movements of his father-in-law’s legs, he was in high spirits.
