âAlright, continue the treatment. Your body will slowly recover,â 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.
âYes, this is all thanks to you.â
âWe are all from the same village, so this is my duty,â Wang Yao said as he put away the silver needles.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe are all done. Go home and rest. You should have already taken most of the prescription I gave you before. Iâll go and prepare more for you. Ask Brother Zecheng to come and get them when he has the time.â
âSure.â
The old man left with a smile on his face.
âHe is indeed a lot better!â Wang Yao recorded Wang Yilongâs physical recovery on his diagnostic record.
âIf this keeps up, he will probably recover within three months!â
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.
âThe issues were caused by the defectors who left the Valley of Thousands of Medicine,â Xu Xinyuan said.
He felt that those people were the most likely suspects.
âUnderstood, Sir.â
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.
âIf I were you, I would not move,â a voice said from behind him.
âIt is you.â The man turned around slowly.
âMiao Qingshan.â
âHello, Brother Qingfeng,â the man with the groceries said.
âArenât you going to invite me in for a chat?â Miao Qinfeng asked.
With a click, the door was opened.
âCome in, please.â
âAh, I have to be careful. You are known in the village for having many clever ideas,â Miao Qingshan said.
âClever ideas?â The middle-aged man smiled a little. The smile was somewhat bitter.
âWhat are you doing here?â Miao Qingshan asked.
âI am here to find you, of course.â
âAre you going to kill every one of us?â Miao Qingshan asked as he put down his vegetables.
âWell, the chief wants you to go back to the village to reminisce,â Miao Qingfeng said. âAfter all, you guys have not seen each other for many years.â
âHaha, we havenât thought about going back ever since we have escaped from that place,â Miao Qingshan replied. âWe already escaped here. Are you guys still not intending to let us go?â
âTo be honest, the chief has been thinking about you guys and misses you very much,â Miao Qingfeng said. âHe 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!â
âAre the two old people alright?â Miao Qingshan asked.
âThey are fine,â Miao Qingfeng said. âWhen I told them that I was your relative, they asked me to join them for a cup of tea. The tea didnât taste very good. Donât worry. They have just fallen asleep. Nothing will happen to them after they have woken up. Auntieâs body doesnât 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.â
âYou are such a good man!â
âYou are flattering me,â Miao Qingfeng said.
âAnyway, itâs time we leave and call the others. I think you should know where they are.â
âWhy wonât you let us go?â
âI will be honest with you,â Miao Qingfeng said. âDo you know what happened recently?â
âWhat has happened?â
âHow should I say this? Are you familiar with He County?â Miao Qingfeng asked.
âYes, I am.â
âWell, more than a dozen people have died there,â Miao Qingfeng said. âNineteen 19 to be exact.â
âWhat does that have to do with us?â
âThey all died of poisoning. Itâs the kind that doesnât leave a trace and canât be detected without a professional examination.â
Miao Qingshanâs expression changed.
âSo what?â
âWait, do you suspect us?â
âYes, we have confirmed that it wasnât done by people in the valley,â Miao Qingfeng said.
âDid you confirm it or was it Miao Xihe who confirmed it?â Miao Qingshan asked. âHe will not tell outsiders what he has done.â
Miao Qingfeng lit a cigarette. âDo you think I am an outsider?â
âWe did not do it.â
âWell, thatâs hard to say,â Miao Qingfeng said. âI think you guys had better go back and explain it to my master yourselves.â
âWeâll be dead if we go back.â
âThat canât be confirmed,â Miao Qingfeng said. âWe are all from the same village. Besides, my master is a nostalgic person. You guys know that.â
âAs if!â
âShall we go?â
Bang! Something suddenly exploded. There was a gust of black smoke.
âIâm sorry,â Miao Qingfeng said.
Puff... Puff... Puff... The sound of wind blowing could be heard.
âThis is?!â Miao Qingshan widened his eyes before falling to the ground with a thump.
After the gust of black smoke, Miao Qingfeng walked out.
âFortunately, I was prepared before I came here. After all these years, you guys havenât made any progress. Your methods are always like this. You guys have wasted the villageâs training and teachings.â
Miao Qingfeng carried the man and went downstairs.
âOh my God! Whatâs the matter with him?â In the corridor, he happened to bump into the people who also lived here.
âAh, gas poisoning.â
âWhat?â
âIâm sorry. I have to take him to the hospital. I have to hurry up. Please make way.â
âOK.â The couple hurried out of the way and let Miao Qingfeng go first.
After Miao Qingfeng had passed by, the woman asked her husband, âHoney, donât you think that man looks unfamiliar? Could he be dangerous?â
âWhy are you wondering so much about it? Hurry up and go home and cook. Iâm hungry!â
âWell, didnât you read the news lately? The province is under severe attack. They said there is a reward for reporting suspicious things!â
âHmm.â The man peeked his head out and took a look at the unfamiliar license plate number of the car.
âI hope there will be a reward.â 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.
âDamn it, have I been found out?â He didnât panic. He stopped the car at the side of the road and carried the man away.
âThis is the car!â The police soon arrived and found the abandoned car.
âAre the people in there?â
âInvestigate and check the surveillance cameras nearby. I want to know what happened,â 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.
