“Alright, continue the treatment. Your body will slowly recover,” Wang Yao said.

  It was true that the disease was getting better. After a combination of acupuncture and drug treatment, the tumor had not spread and was growing smaller. This was an improvement.

  “Yes, this is all thanks to you.”


  “We are all from the same village, so this is my duty,” Wang Yao said as he put away the silver needles.

  “We are all done. Go home and rest. You should have already taken most of the prescription I gave you before. I’ll go and prepare more for you. Ask Brother Zecheng to come and get them when he has the time.”


  “Sure.”


  The old man left with a smile on his face.

  “He is indeed a lot better!” Wang Yao recorded Wang Yilong’s physical recovery on his diagnostic record.

  “If this keeps up, he will probably recover within three months!”


  The smoothness of this treatment process had gone beyond his imagination. He truly could cure this kind of incurable disease.

  Although he had abilities, he would need to rely on his accumulated experience.

  If others were to learn that he could treat cancer, it would cause an unknown amount of trouble. If it were some other person who had mastered this skill, they would likely find a way to become famous and profit from it. They would never be like him, living a calm, light and carefree life like an innocent person.

  Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan……

  Guo Zhenghe had used all the power he could.

  “The issues were caused by the defectors who left the Valley of Thousands of Medicine,” Xu Xinyuan said.

  He felt that those people were the most likely suspects.

  “Understood, Sir.”


  In a common residential building, hundreds of miles away from He County……

  A middle-aged man walked to his house carrying a bag of vegetables. He was just about to take out the key when his hand stopped mid-air.

  “If I were you, I would not move,” a voice said from behind him.

  “It is you.” The man turned around slowly.

  “Miao Qingshan.”


  “Hello, Brother Qingfeng,” the man with the groceries said.

  “Aren’t you going to invite me in for a chat?” Miao Qinfeng asked.

  With a click, the door was opened.

  “Come in, please.”


  “Ah, I have to be careful. You are known in the village for having many clever ideas,” Miao Qingshan said.

  “Clever ideas?” The middle-aged man smiled a little. The smile was somewhat bitter.

  “What are you doing here?” Miao Qingshan asked.

  “I am here to find you, of course.”


  “Are you going to kill every one of us?” Miao Qingshan asked as he put down his vegetables.

  “Well, the chief wants you to go back to the village to reminisce,” Miao Qingfeng said. “After all, you guys have not seen each other for many years.”


  “Haha, we haven’t thought about going back ever since we have escaped from that place,” Miao Qingshan replied. “We already escaped here. Are you guys still not intending to let us go?”


  “To be honest, the chief has been thinking about you guys and misses you very much,” Miao Qingfeng said. “He mentioned you guys to me several days ago. I immediately set out from the valley and spent a lot of effort to find you. Your hiding place is hidden well!”


  “Are the two old people alright?” Miao Qingshan asked.

  “They are fine,” Miao Qingfeng said. “When I told them that I was your relative, they asked me to join them for a cup of tea. The tea didn’t taste very good. Don’t worry. They have just fallen asleep. Nothing will happen to them after they have woken up. Auntie’s body doesn’t seem to be well. She has a heart problem. I just diagnosed and treated her. She should feel the physical changes in her body after she wakes up.”


  “You are such a good man!”


  “You are flattering me,” Miao Qingfeng said.

  “Anyway, it’s time we leave and call the others. I think you should know where they are.”


  “Why won’t you let us go?”


  “I will be honest with you,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Do you know what happened recently?”


  “What has happened?”


  “How should I say this? Are you familiar with He County?” Miao Qingfeng asked.

  “Yes, I am.”


  “Well, more than a dozen people have died there,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Nineteen 19 to be exact.”


  “What does that have to do with us?”


  “They all died of poisoning. It’s the kind that doesn’t leave a trace and can’t be detected without a professional examination.”


  Miao Qingshan’s expression changed.

  “So what?”


  “Wait, do you suspect us?”


  “Yes, we have confirmed that it wasn’t done by people in the valley,” Miao Qingfeng said.

  “Did you confirm it or was it Miao Xihe who confirmed it?” Miao Qingshan asked. “He will not tell outsiders what he has done.”


  Miao Qingfeng lit a cigarette. “Do you think I am an outsider?”


  “We did not do it.”


  “Well, that’s hard to say,” Miao Qingfeng said. “I think you guys had better go back and explain it to my master yourselves.”


  “We’ll be dead if we go back.”


  “That can’t be confirmed,” Miao Qingfeng said. “We are all from the same village. Besides, my master is a nostalgic person. You guys know that.”


  “As if!”


  “Shall we go?”


  Bang! Something suddenly exploded. There was a gust of black smoke.

  “I’m sorry,” Miao Qingfeng said.

  Puff…… Puff…… Puff…… The sound of wind blowing could be heard.

  “This is?!” Miao Qingshan widened his eyes before falling to the ground with a thump.

  After the gust of black smoke, Miao Qingfeng walked out.

  “Fortunately, I was prepared before I came here. After all these years, you guys haven’t made any progress. Your methods are always like this. You guys have wasted the village’s training and teachings.”


  Miao Qingfeng carried the man and went downstairs.

  “Oh my God! What’s the matter with him?” In the corridor, he happened to bump into the people who also lived here.

  “Ah, gas poisoning.”


  “What?”


  “I’m sorry. I have to take him to the hospital. I have to hurry up. Please make way.”


  “OK.” The couple hurried out of the way and let Miao Qingfeng go first.

  After Miao Qingfeng had passed by, the woman asked her husband, “Honey, don’t you think that man looks unfamiliar? Could he be dangerous?”


  “Why are you wondering so much about it? Hurry up and go home and cook. I’m hungry!”


  “Well, didn’t you read the news lately? The province is under severe attack. They said there is a reward for reporting suspicious things!”


  “Hmm.” The man peeked his head out and took a look at the unfamiliar license plate number of the car.

  “I hope there will be a reward.” He called the police station. He reported the abnormal situation and unfamiliar license plate number of the car.

  As he was driving, Miao Qingfeng heard a police siren and saw a police car coming in his direction.

  “Damn it, have I been found out?” He didn’t panic. He stopped the car at the side of the road and carried the man away.

  “This is the car!” The police soon arrived and found the abandoned car.

  “Are the people in there?”


  “Investigate and check the surveillance cameras nearby. I want to know what happened,” a police officer said.

  Southern Yunnan was in a state of turmoil. The police officers knew that a major case had just happened in He County, which was not far away. In less than a month, more than a dozen people had died. This alarmed the province and higher-ups. Because of this, the province held a special meeting, asking all regions to immediately carry out a crackdown.
