"Good to know that it's been resolved . " w.a.n.g Yao was relieved when he heard the news .

Zhou Xiong was a responsible man, and his son was sensible . w.a.n.g Yao's impression of the father and son was very good .

That day, Li Maoshuang personally delivered the herbs that w.a.n.g Yao ordered to the village . It was the first time he had visited Nanshan hill and saw w.a.n.g Yao's herbal field .

"My G.o.d, you planted so many herbs?!" His eyes were wide .

"Ladybells, radix sileris, radix gentianae, licorice…What is this?"

His curiosity led him to make a round outside the herbal field, and the dog followed him closely with suspicious eyes like it was looking at a thief .

"Huh? Why is your dog looking at me like this? Why do I feel like it's looking at me like I am a thief?" Li Maoshuang was surprised and remarked .

"Yes, I think that's what it meant!" w.a.n.g Yao laughed .

"This dog is intelligent," Li Maoshuang chuckled . He was not offended .

"I knew you had exceptional medical skills, and I thought you were a doctor . I didn't expect that you had planted herbs on your hill too . " Li Maoshuang looked around carefully . w.a.n.g Yao had planted many species of herbs, and there were multiple types . The quant.i.ties were not much and were insufficient to be considered large-scale cultivation . Due to his occupation, he had come across plenty of herbal field growers . Usually, they would grow one type or a few types of herbs . He had not seen someone grow multiple species of herbs like w.a.n.g Yao . Hence, he deduced that w.a.n.g Yao did not rely on the herbal field for income .

"These herbs are mainly for my own use," w.a.n.g Yao said, raising his hand and pointed to the herbal field .

"Own use? How?" Li Maoshuang asked out of curiosity .

"For decoction . "

"Decoction? You are a Traditional Chinese Medicine Pract.i.tioner?"

"Yes and no; I am a pharmacist," w.a.n.g Yao said, smiling .

"Pharmacist? Like a medicine maker?"

w.a.n.g Yao shook his head and smiled . "The former and not the latter . "

Li Maoshuang heard him and was full of doubt . He took note of w.a.n.g Yao's expression, thought about it and did not question further .

w.a.n.g Yao invited him into the cottage to have a seat . The cottage did not have many furnis.h.i.+ngs, only a few tables and chairs and plain, white walls . Instead of saying it was simple, it could be said to be a little shabby .

"Have some tea . "

w.a.n.g Yao prepared Li Maoshuang a pot of water and a cup of tea with a faint fragrance .

"This is good tea!" Li Maoshuang drank a sip and remarked . He was fond of tea and could tell the tea was extraordinary just from a sip .

"Are you always on this hill?"

"More or less," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"You're like a hermit, reminiscent of Tao Yuanming," Li Maoshuang commented . "Just that it's a little boring . "

"It's not boring at all; I have a lot of things to do . " w.a.n.g Yao gazed out of the window .

Tending to the herbal field, reciting scriptures, walking around the hill, practicing his breathing exercises—there was so much to do . How could it be boring?

"Personally, I can't stand this sort of life," Li Maoshuang smiled and said . He had controlled smoking and drinking because of health reasons, and if there were dinners, he would decline them whenever he could . However, he had retained certain hobbies such as playing cards, fis.h.i.+ng, and traveling . This was the life he liked, and it could be said to be an enjoyment . After the scare that time, he had learned to accept the situation . There could never be enough money to earn . So long as there was enough to spend, health was still the most important .

Li Maoshuang stayed on the hill for around 20 minutes before leaving .

With the herbs, w.a.n.g Yao could decoct the Regather soup .

He raised his head to look out the window . A pleasant day—it was good weather . Instead of choosing a particular day, one could allow things to happen naturally—why not choose this day?

w.a.n.g Yao prepared the herbs, firewood and other items and started the decoction process . The fire blazed, and the herbal scent was faint . Multiple herbs were continuously added . w.a.n.g Yao quietly sat in front of the fire, observing each step . He was extremely serious about his task, as this was a decoction that could extend one's lifespan .

w.a.n.g Yao prepared the herbs, firewood and other items and started the decoction process . The fire blazed, and the herbal scent was faint . Multiple herbs were continuously added . w.a.n.g Yao quietly sat in front of the fire, observing each step . He was extremely serious about his task, as this was a decoction that could extend one's lifespan .

By the time the decoction was done, the sun had already dipped halfway towards the western part of the sky .

While he was making his way down the hill in the evening, he accidentally overheard the villagers talking about him .

"Have you heard? w.a.n.g Yide got detained at the police station because of w.a.n.g Fenghua's family . "

"Yes, but he deserved it; such a scoundrel!"

"Guess it's his son . I heard the branch secretary comment by accident that this young man is very astute!"

w.a.n.g Yao halted momentarily and then continued on his way home . Returning home for dinner, he heard his parents discuss the matter .

w.a.n.g Yao said these two words: "That's good . "

"Good? How can this be considered a good thing?" Zhang Xiuying was a little displeased . She cared deeply about their image and did not like hearing the villagers criticize her family . In her opinion, this was not something to be proud of .

"In future, these people will not give trouble," w.a.n.g Yao smiled and replied .

The villagers' rumors showed that they had this perception that their family was not to be trifled with or risk getting into trouble themselves .

w.a.n.g Yide was a prime example for the villagers to stay vigilant . w.a.n.g Yao hoped that the villagers held this perception and be appropriately afraid . It was beneficial to have them think that if they should avoid provoking his family as far as possible .

After finis.h.i.+ng dinner, w.a.n.g Yao stayed at home for a while and then left .

When he reached the southern part of the village, the lights were dimmed . Further south was Nanshan hill . It was pitch black, and the path could not be seen clearly . Upon reaching this place, w.a.n.g Yao's speed accelerated, his inner Qi circulated, his walk was brisk, and his strides were long . The wind blew past his ears . In the pitch darkness in the wilderness, the path was steep, and yet he walked like it was level ground . In a flash, he had covered the winding hill path and went straight into his little cottage on the hill .

"Whew, that was satisfying!" he sighed in contentment upon reaching .

He could only do this at night . If it were in the day and seen by others, he would be regarded as a monster . The speed was too terrifyingly fast, faster than the sprinting champions . It was as though he was flying, which was astonis.h.i.+ng!

"Occasionally, letting go can be pretty good . "

"Occasionally, letting go can be pretty good . "

w.a.n.g Yao loosened up his limbs . As usual, he went outside his cottage to stare up at the sky . Then, he went into the cottage to recite the scriptures . This was all part of his usual routine .

The next day, Zhou Xiong and his son came to the hill again . Mainly it was to collect the decoction, but secondly, it was for w.a.n.g Yao to make a diagnosis . It was also an opportunity to take his son out for some fresh air, rather than being cooped up in the apartment .

w.a.n.g Yao took Zhu Wukang's pulse . It was the same as the last time he took it . The boy's own vitality was insufficient . The recovery process was still not complete .

"Here is a decoction; take it in the usual manner . " w.a.n.g Yao took out the prepared decoction .

"Okay, thank you . " Zhou Xiong carefully put it away .

w.a.n.g Yao's expression changed slightly as he heard the system's alert .

The free decoction has reached its limit within the period .

Sure enough, the system's rules of giving a free decoction every three days had its limitations .

Zhou Xiong and son walked about the hill for a bit and then left . w.a.n.g Yao drew out the system panel and checked on the alert .

Free decoctions cannot be given to the same person more than three times a month and more than nine times a year .

This meant that for the same patient, they were allowed to receive the system's formula at most three times a month and nine times a year . If more were needed, the patient would need to pay . This was the system's limitation .

"Dad, I feel comfortable when I am up on the hill . " After going down the hill, Zhou Wukang's face was rosy and appeared happy .

"Comfortable? How so?" Zhou Xiong heard him, smiled and asked .

Zhou Wukang thought for a while before answering, "I can't really say . It's better than the apartment we rented . "

"In that case, Dad will bring you here whenever I have time, okay?"

"Okay . But we'll have to make sure Mr . w.a.n.g won't be unhappy . " Although the child was young, he was very considerate .

"Dad will be sure to ask him beforehand . " Zhou Xiong smiled and ruffled his son's hair .

"Okay . But we'll have to make sure Mr . w.a.n.g won't be unhappy . " Although the child was young, he was very considerate .

"Dad will be sure to ask him beforehand . " Zhou Xiong smiled and ruffled his son's hair .

"Okay . " Zhou Wukang happily nodded his head .

. . .

In the county, in an elegant teahouse, in a private room, two people sat facing each other . There was a pot of tea on the table .

"I shall leave this matter to you . "

"I will try . "

Amongst the people chatting, one of them was Tian Yuantu . The other person's ident.i.ty was special but was also someone Tian Yuantu knew . That person did not stay in the teahouse for long . When he left, he was very discreet, as though afraid that others would see him .

"Eh, these people!" Tian Yuantu sat at the teahouse, raising his cup and drank up all the tea .

As a businessman and a successful one at that, he had met with all sorts of people . There were some people he had no wish to interact with, yet had no choice but to come in contact with . The more contact he had, the more he had seen, and the more matters would crop up . Up to this point, quite a few people knew his relations.h.i.+p with that person and would come looking for him to gain access to said person .

A favor was hard to accept and difficult to decline .

"Sometimes, I really envy him!" At this moment, Tian Yuantu suddenly thought of the person on Nanshan hill, the carefree and contented w.a.n.g Yao . "He probably doesn't get bothered by such matters . "

In reality, w.a.n.g Yao was at the moment, troubled by a matter .

w.a.n.g Yao's house had two visitors: one was his third uncle, and the other was clad in a suit and leather shoes . His face was s.h.i.+ny; it was his third uncle's boss . His surname was Zhang .

Sigh . w.a.n.g Yao sighed and then laughed .

Previously, because of this matter, he remembered his third uncle and aunt argued and even threatened to divorce . Within a few days, something similar happened . Furthermore, his third uncle did not warn him beforehand . w.a.n.g Yao had already furnished a strong reason previously, that the medicine was finished and he could no longer provide it . Did his third uncle not hear a word of what he said?!

w.a.n.g Yao was tempted to ask his third uncle directly—what was he thinking?! There was a saying that said that trouble was usually created for the father . Instead, what was this—trouble created for the nephew?

"Don't worry . I have money, and I won't give any less!" Third Uncle's boss said .  The words were clear, but his expressions and mannerisms look feigned .

Good to know that its been resolved . w.a.n.g Yao was relieved when he heard the news . Zhou Xiong was a responsible man, and his son was sensible . w.a.n.g Yaos impression of the father and son was very good .
