  “Yes, I’ve bought this piece of land. I plan to build a medical center here,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

  Stunned, Tian Yuantu replied, “Setting up a medical center in this mountain village?”


  “Yes, I think it’s pretty good.”


  “Okay, then we’ll do as you say. Measure this place and then consider a few suitable proposals,” Tian Yuantu told a few company personnel who came with him.

  “Okay, Director Tian.”


  Professional matters should be handled by professionals.

  Wang Yao did not understand a thing about building houses.

  This place was not very big. The technical staff brought by Tian Yuantu soon completed the measurement work for the entire small courtyard.

  “Is there anything else?”


  “No.”


  “Then, we’ll go back first.”


  “Why don’t you stay and have a meal?”


  “It’s okay, I told my wife that I’ll eat at home. Goodbye.”


  “Goodbye.”


  The car gradually went farther and Wang Yao went up Nanshan hill.

  On the hill, he prepared the medicinal herbs needed to decoct the Muscle Revitalization powder. He was only waiting for a suitable weather to decoct it.

  In Lianshan County, there were two men from other places.

  “This news arrived a little late!”


  “I didn’t think that someone in this small county could hurt him?!”


  “His true identity is probably already known to the higher-ups. We have to hurry.”


  “Think about it again. He’s now under special supervision and surrounded by armed police. We can’t get in.”


  “We can’t get in, but there’s something that can get in.”


  That day, a strange incident occurred in the hospital of Lianshan County. There was a sudden power outage on one floor. Furthermore, several armed police who performed special tasks suddenly fell unconscious and it caused a panic. The important suspect guarded by them was also attacked but he was not seriously injured. The armed police quickly recovered.

  “What’s going on?”


  “We’re currently investigating, but the suspect is still there.”


  “That’s good.”


  After hearing the news, the police chief heaved a sigh of relief.

  “Have they acted?”


  “Yes.”


  A transparent bottle contained a blood-red liquid which was very glaring under the sun.

  “Let’s go then.”


  “Oh right, where’s the person who could suppress him? Are we not going to inquire about it?”


  “Forget it, the less trouble the better. We won’t be able to escape when there are other people coming.”


  “Alright.”


  People saw the police cars patrolling day and night and the armed police, but no one saw the secret confrontation. However, no matter what, the small town’s peace in the past was restored. This was what the people in the small town really needed and desired.

  On Nanshan hill, the wind was gentle and the clouds were light.

  Everlasting grass,

  Lingshanji,

  Wang Yao had already prepared these two herbs and he could decoct the Muscle Revitalization powder.

  “San Xian, watch the door.”


  Woof, woof. After hearing Wang Yao’s order, the dog came out of its kennel and stood outside, patrolling the herbal field.

  Firewood,

  ancient spring water,

  multifunctional pot for herbs,

  the several types of medicinal herbs were being added one by one. The scent of the medicine permeated into the air.

  This was his second time decocting the medicine. Some of the details that were not noticed during the decoction last time had also improved this time.

  The color of the soup gradually changed.

  Lingshanji broke the evil by removing disease and turbid qi. It also grew muscles and relieved pain.

  After a type of licorice roots was added, the herbal medicine immediately changed and became sticky like porridge. This was the extraordinary feature of the licorice roots. Once it was added, it would immediately produce an effect which was irreplaceable by common medicinal herbs. This was also the reason why Wang Yao once failed in trying to formulate a medicine with an efficacy similar to the Muscle Revitalization powder previously by using several types of common medicinal herbs with similar efficacy to these two herbs for decoction.

  Everlasting grass: to settle the five organs and to repair the damage and benefit the stomach.

  After the licorice roots were added, the color of the herbal medicine changed immediately and turned into emerald green. It was like a melted jade and it was very pretty.

  It changed!

  Wang Yao did not relax at all.

  Even if there was a magical incantation by the multifunctional pot for herbs, even if 99 steps were taken and one last step was left, this medicine could still have the possibility of failure. As the saying goes, the last part of an endeavor was the hardest to finish.

  Reckoning that it was almost ready, Wang Yao took the multifunctional pot for herbs away from the flame.

  The Muscle Revitalization powder should be successful.

  Wang Yao reached out his hand and took some out from the multifunctional pot for herbs. The ointment was obviously warm, but it made people feel a unique sense of coolness which directly penetrated the skin into the inside.

  “This medicine is indeed fascinating.” Even though he had seen it, Wang Yao could not help but praise in his heart.

  The medicine was still packed into two bottles.

  After the decoction was successful, the sky had already darkened.

  June was when daytime was the longest time of the day.

  Wang Yao went down the hill in the evening. In fact, a red glow on the horizon, which was like a burning flame, painted half of the sky red.

  When Wang Yao returned home, he heard his parents discussing something.

  ‘Why don’t we get Yao to take a look?”


  “What’s the use of asking him to go?”


  After entering the house, Wang Yao asked smilingly, “Father, Mother, what are you discussing?”


  “Didn’t your uncle resign from his original position? He plans to open a barbecue shop himself, but the business is poor and the rent is expensive. He even came to our house this afternoon and complained about it!” Zhang Xiuying explained.

  Wang Yao’s uncle did come just now to complain. His purpose was simple. He wanted to ask his big brother to help arrange a job for him. His third brother had now gone to Jia Hui Group and his workload was not heavy on normal days. He could already earn three or four thousand dollars a month. The income was considered not bad in this small county. He was busy to death all day long. He did not earn a single cent, but lost more than 30 thousand instead. The positive and negative contrast made him feel very unfair.

  As for such relatives, Wang Yao’s mother had lots of views in her mind. When Wang Yao’s family had a problem, these people did not really come forward to help. When they themselves were faced with problems, they came one after another, as if Wang Yao’s family had great capability.

  “What did my uncle think?” Wang Yao asked after being silent for a while.

  He did not really want to care about this matter. He helped his third uncle to find a job last time, but in the end he created a mess in his unit. Now, this uncle came. However, he could not ignore because he was still his relative.

  “He wants to find a place and work,” Wang Yao’s father replied.

  “Why does it sound like our house is the town government and can arrange something with a just a word?” Zhang Xiuying said with a hint of anger.

  “I’ll spare some time and ask.” Wang Yao did not want his father to be in a difficult position.

  The conversation was considered to be over after a sentence. Then, he helped his mother to clear away dinner in the kitchen.

  “Mother, don’t be angry anymore.”


  “How can I not be angry? He always looks for your father whenever he has a problem. Is your father a county magistrate?” Zhang Xiuying’s anger obviously had not subsided.

  “Haha. It’s not a big matter.”


  It was not too difficult to arrange a job with his current connections, but he did not want to trouble Tian Yuantu again.

  “I’ll go into town tomorrow.”


  When they were eating, they suddenly heard an anxious knock from the outside.

  After the door was opened, a woman in her forties who was a neighbor from the front house came inside.

  “Wang Yao’s aunt, what’s the matter?”


  “I need your help for an urgent matter.” The woman’s expression was a bit awkward.

  “Just tell us if you have a problem. We’ll help if we can,” Zhang Xiuying said.

  “Can I borrow some money?”


  “Borrow some money?” Zhang Xiuying was stunned. “How much do you need?”


  “10 thousand.”


  “Please wait for a moment. I’ll get it for you,” Zhang Xiuying said as she went into the room to get the money. There happened to be some money at home, which was taken by Wang Yao when he went into town and left it at home. Otherwise, normally, there would not be so much money at home.

  “Is there something wrong at home?” Zhang Xiuying took the money out and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

  “Fengxiang is ill. He was just hospitalized this afternoon and we have to spend quite some money. The money at home was lent to his second uncle,” the middle-aged woman replied.

  The relationships between the neighbors in the front and rear houses of the village were generally not bad. They would automatically come forward to help if someone had a problem. Just like the couple living in front of their house, their reputation in the village was pretty good. They also kept in touch on normal days.

  “Thank you!” the middle-aged woman said after receiving the money.

  She did not expect that Zhang Xiuying would lend her the money so readily. In the present society, once money was involved, even blood-related brothers could possibly turn against them immediately, let alone such neighbors.

  “Sure. Tell us if you need our help. We’ll help as much as we can.”


  “Okay.” After expressing her gratitude in a simple way, she left.
