  “What did you do to me?” Li Zucai asked in panic.

  “Don’t worry, it was only temporary. You will feel better after a while. I will prescribe some medicine for you in the next room,” Wang Yao said.

  He only temporarily blocked some of the acupuncture meridians in the man’s legs to make them unable to move normally. As for the poison produced by insects, antidote herbs could be widely used for detoxification. Miasma grass could be used for avoiding mephitis and poisonous insects.

  Wang Yao used these two types of medicine herbs to make up the prescription. The effect would be concentrated and strong.

  The medicinal soup in pot was greenish and had a bit pungent taste.

  “Come on, drink it.” Wang Yao poured a bowl of the medicine soup.

  “What is this?” Li Zu was somewhat worried.

  “Medicine,” Wang Yao said.

  Li Zucai drank it up.

  Wang Yao sat quietly looking at him. “How do you feel?”


  “Nothing, that is…… Oh, my stomach hurts!” After less than five minutes, Li Zucai felt something stirring in his stomach. The pain was spreading. Soon, he felt that his chest, arms, his legs hurt, and head hurt. His whole body hurt. “It hurts, hurts, hurts.”


  It was prickling and stabbing pain. He fell to the ground and couldn’t help shouting out. “Ah! What did you give me to drink?”


  “Medicine.” Wang Yao held his wrist. Li Zucai’s pulse was fluctuating like drumming. His Qi and blood were extremely strong.

  Li Zucai opened his mouth and spit out a dark mucus. It emitted a terrible stench that quickly filled the room. Sweating profusely, he gasped for breath. He clothes were wet because of the pain.

  Slowly, the pain in the body faded, but his stomach and limbs still hurt. His headache was relieved a little.

  “How are you feeling?” Wang Yao asked.

  “It hurts. My whole body still hurts, but it doesn’t hurt as bad,” Li Zucai said.

  The sudden pain almost killed him.

  “We need to wait for longer,” Wang Yao said.

  “I will clean it for you,” Li Zucai said.

  He endured the pain, took the tools, and cleaned up the things he had just spat on the ground. He looked at what he spit out. It was disgusting like ink and mud soup.

  “Why did I spit out such things?” he asked.

  He felt better not looking at it. After one glance of it, he felt something began to turn over again in the stomach and rushed out. “No, I need to go to the toilet.”


  He spit out a lot of black sticky material in the toilet. Finally, he spit out the acid water and blood, which scared him.

  “Xiao Yao, tell me truth. What happened to me. Am I infected by Chen Jiagui?” His face was blanketed in fear, especially considering the way Chen Jiagui had been. “Am I going to be like that?”


  “You are poisoned or infected by Chen Jiagui,” Wang Yao said.

  “Just because I was bitten by him?” Li Zucai asked.

  “Yes,” Wang Yao said. “His illness is highly contagious.”


  This what worried Wang Yao the most. “How did he get this strange disease?”


  “What about Hao Ze?” Li Zucai began to worry about his son.

  “He’s fine. If you still feel worried, you can ask his grandmother to see if he has a fever or something else that is uncomfortable,” Wang Yao said.

  “I will ask my mom to send him over. Would you please give him a check?” Li Zucai asked.

  “All right,” Wang Yao said.

  By this time, Chen Ying and Chen Zhou had already sprinkled a thick layer of lime on all the places contaminated by Chen Jiagui’s blood.

  “Sister, what do you think what happened to that person?” Chen Zhou asked.

  “He might be mad,” Chen Ying said.

  Finally, they arrived at Chen Jiagui’s home.

  “How is that mad man?” Chen Zhou asked.

  Although he was scared, he climbed up the wall. He could Chen Jiagui sleeping on the bed and then suddenly get up. He limped to the yard and wanted to come out without any reason.

  “Xiao Zhou, go to tell Dr. Wang. I will stay here to watch him,” Chen Ying decisively said.

  “Well, be careful, sister.” Chen Zhou quickly ran toward the clinic.

  In the clinic, Li Zucai’s mother came with her little grandson.

  “My son, are you OK?” she asked Li Zucai.

  “I’m fine.” He actually did feel much better. Only the place where he was bitten by Chen Jiagui was still painful and burning.

  Wang Yao carefully checked the little boy. “The child is fine.”


  “That is a relief,” Li Zucai said.

  Chen Zhou suddenly ran into the clinic. “Sir, the madman stood up again and wanted to go out.”


  “What? Stood up again?” Wang Yao was surprised. In order to prevent him from standing up and infecting other people, Wang Yao had temporarily cut off several meridians in his body. Somehow, he was still able to act. “I will go there and see.”


  “After returning home, you need to watch yourself closely. If you find that you have symptoms such as fever, come to me immediately.” Wang Yao did not forget to advise Li Zucai before leaving directly for Chen Jiagui’s yard.

  At this time, the crazed man seemed to want to go forward. His face had begun to darken. His naked upper body has also become black. Blood vessels could be seen protruding outwards. It all appeared a bit like mummification.

  “Sister, he looked like a zombie!” Chen Zhou whispered to his sister.

  “Hush! Don’t come over here,” she replied.

  Wang Yao’s closely observed Chen Jiagui’s physical condition. He had no consciousness and acted slowly because of the blocked meridians. His skinny body showed that the intrusive exogenous evil was rapidly destroying his body.

  Down!

  Wang Yao pressed down although nothing was in hand. Bang! Chen Jiagui fell to the ground. An invisible pressure suppressed him, making him unable to move.

  Wang Yao bent over to feel his pulse. “I can feel the pulse. It sometimes vanishes and sometimes reappears, and sometimes it’s strong and sometimes it’s weak. His viscera are extremely weak. He is like an extremely sick person who is dying.”


  Wang Yao carefully checked his body and remembered something. He turned to the brother and sister outside and said, “This yard needs to be all sprinkled with lime.”


  “OK,” Chen Ying said.

  They entered the yard and sprinkled a lot of lime powder.

  Wang Yao was deeply concerned. How was he infected with the terrible disease? Is it from outside or in the village?

  He carried Chen Jiagui by one hand and threw him in a room. He wrenched his joints on his body. “Lay off and stay here. Don’t go out.”


  From the current situation, he was not like a person at all.

  “Mr. Wang, it is finished,” Chen Zhou said.

  “Well, thank you,” Wang Yao said.

  “You are too polite.” Chen Zhou smiled. “Sir, what disease does he have to look so horrible?”


  “I have not figured it out. It is a terrible microbial infection. His organs, brain, and body tissues have been destroyed. To some extent, he’s already dead,” Wang Yao said. “And, the disease is very contagious. The bitten person has been infected.”


  Thanks to timely treatment, it wouldn’t take long for Li Zucai to have become like Chen Jiagui.

  “If you feel any uncomfortable, come to me quickly,” Wang Yao said.

  “Got it,” the brother and sister said.

  “Wait, come with me.” He brought them to the clinic and asked them to drink a cup of medicine that had just been prepared.

  “This is the medicine the bitten person drank. You’d better take it for prevention.” In addition to giving them a drink, he also filled a bottle with it so they could take it home.

  “If you find any people or animals like him in the village, tell me in right away,” Wang Yao said.

  “OK, we will Mr. Wang,” Chen Ying said.

  Wang Yao left the clinic with them. He first returned to his home and told his parents about the situation. He told them be as careful as possible and not go out. He also had them drink the medicine for prevention.

  “What disease is so powerful?” Zhang Xiuying asked.

  “I do not know,” Wang Yao said. “I am going to go to the brigade house to notify the villagers.”


  “Well, good,” Wang Fenghua said.
