âIs it necessary?â one of the young men asked.
âIt should be,â his friend said.
As a result, they went to the hospital in Lianshan to get their friend checked. The hospital recommended admitting the young man for further observation. They decisively refused the doctorâs advice because they preferred to be hospitalized back home.
âI told you it was useless,â one of the young men said.
âLetâs go,â his friend said. âThis trip is so disappointing!â
In the village, Wang Yao was still thinking about what had just happened. The young man had been bitten by insects from Xishan Hill, but the symptoms were different. Were they a different type?
The night gradually fell, and the earth was shrouded in darkness.
...
In Dao, two people were in darkness.
âBrother, it seems something is wrong,â one of them said.
âDonât worry, we can manage no matter what happens,â the other man said as he took out a gourd. âLook at my treasure.â
âWhat is it?â the first man asked.
He pulled out the plug on the gourd. Zoom! Countless winged insects flew out.
In a villa nearby, Master Gu continued explaining. âThe Village of Thousands of Medicine... Although it involves a character of âmedicine,â it actually is famous for poisonous insects. The skill of using venom and poison is supernatural and cannot be defended for. It is out of expectations.â
âCan you manage that, master?â Sun Zhengrong asked.
âI have an object that can be used to defend all types of venomous insects after being burned,â Master Gu said.
Zoom! An insect the size of a mosquito flew into the yard. Plump! Plump! The strong men standing outside or hiding all fell unreasonably.
âThey are coming,â Uncle Lin said.
âIâll leave to you, master,â Sun Zhengrong said.
âNo worries,â Master Gu said.
âLetâs go,â Sun Zhengrong said.
In the darkness, two men jumped into the yard.
âWhat a large villa,â one of them sighed.
They spent most of their time living in mountains. Although they had lived in a bamboo building with two layers, it was not nearly as luxurious as this villa.
âIn fact, sometimes I envy them so much,â that man said with a laugh.
âBrother, be careful. He is really tricky like a fox,â the other man said.
âYeah, I see,â the first man said. Squeak! The door opened. âGo.â
Zoom! More winged insects flew out. Not long after, the insects got lost like flies with no direction.
âOh? Insect repellent incense,â said the first man, who could smell the abnormal conditions in the room. âI never thought he would get that. Maybe he engaged a capable master.â
âA capable master, how capable he is?â the other man asked. âShould we act separately?â
âNo, we should stay together so that we can take care of each other if we were in trouble,â the first man said. âSomeoneâs coming!â
Crack! Something lit up in the darkness. It was glaring.
âFlashbomb!â In a moment, the two men could not open their eyes because of the glaring lights.
Rat-tat! There was a dull sound. The two men quickly retreated protecting their heads. They were hit by bullets.
Without hesitation, they withdrew from the room and turned back to leave.
A voice called out, âWant to flee? It is not so easy!â
Sun Zhengrong had prepared a long time and made arrangements for a possible night, which just happened to happen on this night.
In Dao, he was not just a wealthy man. He could obtain many items and manage many matters, even those that were possibly illegal under less stringent regulations.
A big net over fell down and covered the two men. Bullets were consistently flying in every direction. There were even crossbows. Nearly all weapons were used except for grenades. In fact, Sun Zhengrong indeed had those, but he did not intend to use them in his own home unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even with all the preparations, the difficulty of coping with the two men still went beyond his expectations. They even avoided the big net.
Crash! There was an arch of blue light. It was a high-voltage electric-shock gun.
âBrother, you go before me,â one of the men said.
Bump! Suddenly, there was a ray of green light and a unique taste in the darkness.
âHold your breath. Donât breathe. It is poisonous smoke!â someone shouted.
The two intruders went out into the yard.
âGu Chunchi!â one of the men shouted. He knew the man who was helping Sun Zhengrong. âYou will die!â
âMiao Qingfeng, how dare you go out of the village?â Master Gu asked.
âHey, Sun Zhengrong, donât think you will be safe with the help of this layman. We will be back,â Miao Qingfeng said.
In the darkness, the two men left.
Not after long, the police cars came with the sound of sirens. There were a larger number of police cars. They conducted a strict search throughout Dao, including every foreign person and car across the border of the city.
âMaster, did you know him?â Sun Zhengrong asked.
âIt is far more than knowing him,â Gu Chunchi said with a strong hatred in his speech. âHis name is Miao Qingfeng, one of disciples in the Village of Thousands of Medicine. A few years ago, he killed several people when going out from the village. I encountered him at that time, and we fought.â
The speech was simple, but Sun Zhengrong could guess from his words that the fight should not be a simple story. The knot was tightly tied. âDo you know martial arts, master?â
âNo.â Gu Chunchi frowned.
Though he mastered medicine and the means of detoxification and insect removal, his lack of martial arts expertise had made him become burdensome to his two friends, who died protecting him. The person who had killed his friends was Miao Qingfeng.
Gu Chunchi had wanted to put him to death for a long time. After the matter, he went back to the Village of Thousands of Medicine and observed it from a distance. He also asked about it. Although it looked simple, he was told the horrors of it. There were people with high achievements trying to challenge it, but they all died before they realized what had happened.
âSince he has come, we canât let this chance go,â Gu Chunchi said. âIf he goes back to the village, it will be impossible to get revenge.â
âYeah.â Sun Zhengrong nodded. Whomever dared to provoke him had no good result. âDouble the underground award.â
That meant the rewards was now $100 million. It was enough to afford many people to have a good lives. In fact, in this country, 99% of the population could not earn so much money in their whole lives.
Knowing this news, the underground forces of Dao went even crazier. It quickly became like a raging storm.
âGeneral manger Sun, it has been not peaceful in Dao recently,â Director General Xu said.
âYeah, there have been two waves of assassinators trying to kill me,â Sun Zhengrong said. âI am wondering whether you have any ideas.â
The Director General said nothing.
