As he spoke, he took out the car keys and placed them on the table.
âThere is a BMW outside,â the driver said. âIt has less than 20,000 miles and is worth more than $100,000.â He was in a hurry now, afraid that Wang Yao would not trust him and refuse to treat Xu Xinyuan. If treatment was delayed, and there was any problem with Xu Xinyuan, he would lose his job. Besides, the car belonged to the company, so he could just mortgage it.
âMy colleague is already on his way,â the driver said. âHe will be here by noon and pay for the treatment when he arrives.â
âAlright, wait to the side,â Wang Yao said.
âAh, thank you so much!â Hearing those words, the driver could finally relax.
âYou guys wait here for a moment,â Wang Yao said to Jia Zizai and Hu Mei. âIâll go and boil the medicine to help detoxify him. If you want some tea, brew it yourself.â
âWe got it, Sir.â
Wang Yao went to the next room.
The patient had been poisoned. It was a kind of fire poison, so it was simple for him to treat.
One leaf of detoxifying grass was all he needed.
If the man had gone elsewhere, others might not have been able to effectively save him no matter how hard they racked their brains and tried.
This kind of poison is very strange. I wonder how he got it.
The water was beginning to boil. He let it cool down slightly before adding a leaf of green grass, which quickly dissolved in the water.
Done.
Wang Yao went back to the clinic with a porcelain bowl full of medicine.
âHelp him sit up.â
After hearing that, the driver hurried forward and helped Xu Xinyuan sit up.
Wang Yao reached out and squeezed his mouth open to make him drink the bowl of medicine. He sat to the side and waited for about 20 minutes.
âAlright.â
With a wave of his hand, Xu Xinyuan, who had been lying on the bed, slowly awoke. The first thing he saw was a young man. He thought, He doesnât look over 30 years old.
âWhere am I?â
âHow do you feel?â Wang Yao asked.
âHow do I feel?â Xu Xinyuan was stunned.
Only then did he realize that the burning heat that had caused him agony, and led him to fall into a state of madness, had nearly disappeared. He had regained his sanity. Although his body still felt a little sore, especially his throbbing hands that felt as if all the finger bones had been broken, he was finally himself again.
âAre you Wang Yao, Dr. Wang?â Xu Xinyuan immediately understood that it was likely Dr. Wang who had appeared and saved him at that critical moment.
âYes, it is me. Your poisoning is very interesting,â Wang Yao said with a smile.
âI was careless,â Xu Yuanqing said.
âWas it from poisonous insects or plants?â
âNo, it was arrows smeared with poison,â Xu Xinyuan replied.
He remembered all the things Guo Zhenghe told him before he had arrived. These were things he could tell Wang Yao, so he did.
âOh?â Wang Yao was slightly shocked. He had not expected that there were still people using poisoned arrows.
âCan you tell me where this happened?â
âOf course, in southern Yunnan, a place called the Valley of Thousands of Medicine.â
âSouthern Yunnan? The Valley of Thousands of Medicine?â
âWhat? Do you know of that place?â
âAh, I have heard of it.â Wang Yao smiled. He had indeed heard about the place. Sang Guzi had mentioned it by accident. It seemed to be a mysterious place.
âYou have been cleared of the poison, but the treatment is expensive.â
âHow much is it?â
After hearing Wang Yaoâs price, Xu Xinyuan did not even bat an eyelash.
âTell your colleague that he does not have to come anymore.â Xu Xinyuan paid the fee via a direct transfer.
âGive me your hand. I will treat it for you as well.â
Just now, he had been digging his fingers into the trees and beating the ground. His hands had been hurt.
âOK, thank you.â
Wang Yao provided a simple treatment for the injury. He sprinkled some medicinal powder on it and wrapped his hands with gauze.
âAlthough the poison has been cleared, there are still many hidden injuries in your body, which need further recuperation and recovery. You can recuperate on your own after you go back.â
âDo you have suitable medicine here?â Xu Xinyuan asked.
Even though the poison was eliminated, he still needed to regulate his body. He decided to get medicine from Wang Yao.
âYes, I have Primordial Spirit Soup here with me. It can consolidate the corporeity. It is suitable for your situation.â
âIâll have to trouble you then.â
He took the medicine from Wang Yao and left after paying for it.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Xinyuan asked the driver, âWhat just happened?â
âAh, from when you passed out?â
âFrom the time we got here until I woke up,â Xu Xinyuan said.
âCanât you even remember what happened before you passed out? Do you have amnesia?â
âNo, itâs just that I donât remember some of the things very well,â Xu Xinyuan replied There were some fragments that he could not remember clearly.
The driver told him what had happened, including when he was gouging the trees and beating the ground while he was mad and trying to rush into the field, as well as how the other man easily controlled him.
âI have a vague recollection of that,â Xu Xinyuan said.
âMr. Xu, donât you think the medicine is too expensive? $100,000?â the driver asked.
It wasnât always easy to earn money. One dose of that medicine could easily be compared to his income for nearly a year. How much money was this doctor earning every year?
Xu Xinyuan replied with a simple answer. âItâs not expensive. Itâs worth more.â
âWhat? Isnât that expensive?â The driver almost drove straight into the river beside the road. He thought, Has his brain been burned so badly that it has not recovered yet?
âIf you consider that expensive, then how much is your life worth?â
âAh, as for that, how can it be measured with money?â The driver smiled awkwardly as he replied.
âThatâs right. Life is priceless,â Xu Xinyuan said. âIf I didnât get treatment in time, I would have probably died. What would be the use of money for me then?â
The driver stopped talking after hearing that.
He knew what Xu Xinyuan said was reasonable. Still, to fork out so much money for a dose of medicine was not something he would ever do.
âAs for Dr. Wang, unexpectedly, itâs amazing that he has such great abilities at such a young age.â
âWell, mmm, yes.â
âDidnât that man call him âSir?ââ
âYes, he called him âSir.ââ
Xu Xinyuan his capabilities. Even when he was in a state of madness, no ordinary person could block his way. His fighting skills, including his killing skills, had become a part of his body after years of practice. The more danger he was in, the better he could perform. The other man was able to control him while he was in a state of madness. He was obviously a highly skilled person.
âItâs surprising that there are such two people in this mountain village!â He looked back at the small mountain village behind him.
âCould it be a unique and unheard of place like the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?â
Thinking of that, he took out his cellphone and searched for relevant information about the mountain village.
âJust 70 years of history?â
âMr. Xu, where shall we go next?â
âBack to Dao. I want to hurry back as soon as possible.â
âOK.â
âWait!â Xu Xinyuan suddenly shouted.
The car stopped with a screech.
âWhat is the matter?â
âGo back to the clinic.â
âAh?â
âGo back.â
âAlright.â The driver turned the car around and went back to the clinic.
âWait here for a moment.â
Xu Xinyuan knocked on the door and entered the clinic. The three people were still there.
Looking at the man who had returned, Wang Yao asked with a smile, âIs there something else?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDr. Wang, do you have more of this antidote?â
âThere is still a little left,â Wang Yao replied. âWhy?â
âAh, thatâs great,â Xu Xinyuan anxiously said. âCan I buy some more?â
âSure, this one doesnât require a payment. Just a moment.â
Wang Yao put the remaining antidote from the multifunctional pot for herbs into a small bottle and handed it to Xu Xinyuan.
âThank you.â
âYou are welcome.â
Xu Xinyuan left with the antidote.
âDid you buy more medicine?â the driver asked in surprise upon seeing him come out with a bottle.
âI did not buy it. Start driving.â
âOh, OK.â The car started and left the village.
In the clinic...
âThat man is quite extraordinary,â Jia Zizai said.
âYes, the evil aura on him is quite strong like you used to be,â Wang Yao said. He was extremely sensitive to auras. He could naturally feel a unique aura from that kind of person.
