“Master, that girl really can’t give birth, right?” Pan Jun asked again.

“It’s not just a question of her giving birth, but how long she can live,” Wang Yao said.

“Ah?!” Pan Jun was stunned.

“She has seriously damaged her body, like a tree with a smashed main root,” Wang Yao said. “It looks still standing there with leaves, but it won’t last long, because it can’t absorb nutrients.”

He didn’t want to talk about this topic, and he didn’t want to have much to do with someone like the girl who didn’t cherish her body.

“Let’s go out,” Wang Yao said.

They left the clinic and walked along the mountain road. It was at 4 p.m. The weather was not hot, and the air was good. It was very suitable for exercise.

“Is there any doubt?” Pan Jun asked. “Could you really not treat that girl?”

“No, I saw it in her eyes,” Wang Yao said.

He could know people through watching the eyes.

“Master, that is quite metaphysical,” Pan Jun said.

“It is just small talk.” Wang Yao smiled.

“Master, what are your ideals?” Pan Jun asked.

“Ideals?” Wang Yao asked. “Why do you suddenly ask this? It is a little bit complicated question!”

In the past, he had thought about starting his own business with a few acres in the mountains and making money. But, the reality was cruel. The diving event gave him the magical system, which changed his life. After ups and downs, he gradually liked the medicine. He was there to save lives. As for dreams, he hoped to be able to carry forward pharmacy. He also wanted to see which steps he could achieve.

“Master?” Pan Jun interrupted his thoughts.

“To carry forward the school of pharmacists,” Wang Yao finally said.

“So, to dominate the world,” Pan Jun said

“Hmm?!” Wang Yao was shocked. “Why did you suddenly bring up such a word?”

“Master, I am optimistic about you,” Pan Jun said.

At the foot of Nanshan Hill, they wandered around the newly planted forest before turning to go down the mountain. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they happened to meet Zhong Anxin, who was out for a walk. The little girl had recovered very well after treatment and could leave in a few days.

These outsiders were very careful. Even if they went out for a walk, they would not continue to go up to Nanshan Hill. They only looked from far away because they knew Wang Yao’s rules. He did not like anyone going up the mountain.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, looking at the woods just below, Zhong Anxin asked, “Brother, are we leaving soon?”

“Well, I asked Dr. Wang, and he said you would be fine after you take the medications,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“I am a bit reluctant to leave.” The little girl liked the peace there.

“If you like it, we can stay,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Stay? Here?” Zhong Anxin was taken aback by his answer.

“If you want to go to school, we can stay in Lianshan County and buy a house here,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “That way you can come back when you want.”

He actually had already inquired about it. The houses already belonged to the Sun family. During his time in the mountain village, he had contacted Sun Yunsheng several times. It would not be too difficult since they knew each other.

Home was a very warm word to them. They lived as guests in Jicheng. Their hometown was in the Weishan area. Long ago, their parents took them out, but something had happened. Now, they had each other to rely on. There were no relatives in their hometown. They rarely went back except for going to the graves of their ancestors. Without connections with other relatives, the kinship ties naturally faded. For both of them, no longer really mattered.

“What do you think?” he asked.

“OK!” The little girl was happy.

After a long time of wandering, they were tired of the previous lifestyle. If they could really settle there, it was a good idea.

“Brother, what about your work outside?” Zhong Anxin asked.

“The job? I will resign. I can find another one,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

He couldn’t tell his sister what he used to do. To put it simply, it was a shameful job. It was everything with blood and under high risks. He didn’t want to do it anymore. Besides the money needed for his sister’s treatment, he also had savings. It was enough to buy a suite in a second-tier city like Jicheng or Daocheng.

In this small county or small village, it was no problem for them to buy a house and decorate it. The rest of the money would be saved in bank for a capital-guaranteed financial management. He estimated that the interest rate was enough for both of them to live.

“Do we need to tell Dr. Wang?” Zhong Anxin asked.

“I’ll make time to talk to him,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Master, I am going back,” Pan Jun said.

“Slow down on the road,” Wang Yao said.

The car slowly disappeared north of the village. Wang Yao returned home.

…

In a hospital in Jing…

“Doctor, can you think more about the treatment?” Cao He and Cao Hui had been in the doctor’s office for more than half an hour.

After these days of treatment, Cao Meng’s situation did not improve. He still could not eat. He vomited a lot after eating. This disease also confused the doctors.

“We are working hard,” the doctor said. “However, you must be mentally prepared.”

“Can you ask a Chinese medicine doctor to come and see him?” Cao He asked.

“We have already asked the doctors in the Chinese medicine department to come over,” the doctor said. “They have not done a good job.”

In this case, patients had delicate stomachs. Whenever food was eaten, there was a strong rejection to it. Any food eaten did not stay down. This led to severe stomach cramps that could cause terrible bleeding symptoms. They had chosen a conservative treatment, which was already habitual. If the symptoms continued, the body would deteriorate.

“Thank you,” Cao He said.

“Well, you also need to rest,” the doctor said. “Don’t make your body exhausted.”

The two left the doctor’s office. They stopped to chat at the end of the corridor.

“There is no other way,” Cao He said.

“Talk to your eldest brother,” Cao Hui said. “He could lose his life!”

Cao He sighed. No one had expected it would develop in this way.

In the ward, several patients were lying in bed. They were weak, pale, unable to eat, and could not eat liquid food. They could only maintain their lives by infusion. They could not get out of bed. They didn’t even have the strength to turn over.

“How is it?” Cao Meng’s voice was only able to be heard by himself. Like smoke, it disappeared when it was out of his mouth.

“Not good. It’s very bad,” Cao He said. “The doctor said we’d better have psychological preparation. If it goes on like this, it is very likely to be life-threatening.”

“Is there no way?” After Cao Meng speaking, he seemed to collapse. It was as if he lost some kind of support.

“You’ve tried both Western medicine and Chinese medicine,” Cao He said. “It is already the best hospital in China. Some time ago, Xiaohui went to the mountain village and had contact with Doctor Wang.”

“What did he say?” Cao Meng asked.

“As for this disease, he can cure it, but you have to confess and get punishment according to law,” Cao He said.

There was a long moment of silence. He was to choose such dying or a prison sentence for a healthy body. Life or freedom? Everything needed to be considered.

“Can he cure my disease?” Cao Meng’s thoughts had begun to loosen. Life was important.

“He said yes,” Cao He said.

“Talk to him again,” Cao Meng said.

“OK, let me go again,” Cao Hui said.

Cao Hui set off on the same day and went to Qi province at night. She stayed in Ji for one night. In the morning, she rushed to Haiqu. She took a car and went straight to the mountain village. When she arrived, the door of the medical hall was closed.

She did not leave. She just waited under the acacia tree outside the wall.

In order to arrive as soon as possible, she did not have lunch. She only had a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water. The sunlight was strong, so it was cool in the shade.

Wang Yao came out from his home and saw Cao Hui standing under the tree.

“Why did you come again?” he asked.

“I was looking for you.” Cao Hui’s attitude was very soft.

This time, she was there to seek peace. He could treat Cao Meng, but he could refuse her, turning a blind eye to his life.

“Let’s talk about it,” she said.

“Have a seat.” Wang Yao stared at the girl with sweat on her forehead.
