"Are you hurt?" Tong Wei recovered from her shock and looked at w.a.n.g Yao concernedly . At the same time, she reached out to examine his arms . The size of the rock was not small and weighed at least a few hundred kilograms . He must have mustered great strength to push it away; it would be inevitable for his arms to get injured .

"d.a.m.n, did you see that?!"

"A martial arts expert!"

"Did you take a video of that?"

"This needs to be posted online; it will definitely go viral!"

The bystanders who had witnessed the startling incident before were all shocked beyond words .

The rock that had rolled down earlier appeared to weigh at least a few hundred kilograms . Coupled with the force of the rock rolling from a high place, for it to be diverted from its path so easily by a person—this was something that could only be seen in the movies . It was remarkable that it was witnessed in real life .

Detecting the fervent stares of the bystanders, w.a.n.g Yao and Tong Wei felt uncomfortable and quickly left the place .

"You know martial arts?" when they reached a secluded area, Tong Wei asked . The scene earlier had given her a huge shock . If it were not for w.a.n.g Yao's timely intervention and astonis.h.i.+ng action, she would have been in deep trouble .

"I know a little," w.a.n.g Yao smiled and replied .

"You know a little, and yet you display such amazing ability? What martial art was that?"

"Tai Chi . This move enables me to accomplish a great task with little effort by using clever maneuvers," w.a.n.g Yao replied casually . He had only just learned Tai Chi . In fact, he had not yet mastered the move that he mentioned earlier . However, earlier, in the heat of the moment and desperation, he had simply used his exceptional strength and inner Qi . It also helped that he had been practicing Tai Chi daily the past few days .

"Astounding!" Tong Wei's eyes brightened . She discovered her cla.s.smate had become more mysterious and this added to his charm .

The two of them took the morning to trek the hills . Although the scenery was average, they had a great time .

Lunchtime came very quickly . There was a small hotel on the hill, and there were not many people at the restaurant in the hotel . The two of them ordered a few dishes . Although these dishes were said to be wild vegetables and free-range chicken and fish, the taste did not appear like that, and the price was not cheap . It was evident that such a place was not banking on repeated customers .

After having their lunch, the two of them rested a bit and went down the hill, intending to go to w.a.n.g Yao's herbal field . When they reached the town, Tong Wei asked w.a.n.g Yao to stop for a bit . She then got out of the car and headed to the town's biggest supermarket to buy some presents .

"What are you doing, you don't have to . " w.a.n.g Yao shook his head .

. . .

When he got home, he found that his home looked different . It was sparkling clean, and his parents had put on new clothes . It seemed that all this was done specially to welcome Tong Wei .

Is there a need to do all this? w.a.n.g Yao silently grumbled .

"h.e.l.lo, Mr . and Mrs . w.a.n.g," Tong Wei greeted them naturally and in a poised manner .

"Hi, what a lovely girl; you don't have to bring me presents!" Zhang Xiuying brought Tong Wei into the house, held her hands and asked her many questions . She was very warm towards her . In w.a.n.g Yao's mind, he had never seen his mother act so warmly towards himself and his sister . His father, w.a.n.g Fenghua stood on the side, looking buoyant .

They chatted for almost an hour; his parents basically ignored him the whole time .

"Mom, Tong Wei wants to go to Nanshan hill . "

"Okay, take her," Zhang Xiuying said and smiled cheerfully .

"Shall we go?" w.a.n.g Yao asked .

"Okay . "

The two of them left the house and took the main path in the village that led to Nanshan hill . At that time, there were a number of villagers who were chatting and coming down from the hill . When they saw Tong Wei, they were all stunned; especially the younger guys who looked like their eyes were about to pop out .

"So beautiful!"

"This village hasn't seen such a pretty girl in years!"

"This is w.a.n.g Yao from Fenghua's family right? Where did this guy find such a pretty lady?!"

Under the envious and jealous eyes of the villagers, w.a.n.g Yao took Tong Wei up Nanshan hill to the area that he rented .

"These were all planted by you?" Tong Wei asked as she looked at the sea of green herbs .

"Yes . There was more, but I've recently harvested some, so this is what's left . "

"What's with this dog?" Tong Wei found that no matter where she walked, w.a.n.g Yao's dog followed her closely . It also looked at her with suspicious eyes, like it was guarding against a thief .

"You mean San Xian? What's up?"

"Nothing much, just that the way it looks at me is a little weird . Maybe I'm imagining it?" Tong Wei smiled and said .

"You're not . He behaves like that whenever a stranger comes . Don't take it to heart . "

"Okay . "

Tong Wei looked at the herbal field for a bit and then walked around the area .

"You rented this hill?"

"Yes, I use this side mainly . The other side is too steep and full of rocks . I haven't thought about how to make use of it," w.a.n.g Yao said .

"You normally stay on this hill?"

"Yes, I spend the bulk of my time here," w.a.n.g Yao remarked . "I stay overnight too . "

"You stay here alone at night on this hill?"

"Yes," w.a.n.g Yao responded confidently .

"Aren't you afraid?"

"At first, I was a little afraid but eventually, I got used to it . Besides, I have San Xian and Da Xia's company," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"San Xian is the dog . Who is Da Xia?"

"I forgot to introduce you; this is Da Xia . " w.a.n.g Yao pointed to a dark speck high up in the sky . Vaguely, the silhouette of a relatively big-sized bird could be seen . It could be that it had detected w.a.n.g Yao below it and was swiftly descending .

"Da Xia!" w.a.n.g Yao shouted towards the sky .

Caw, the bird called .

That is…an eagle?

The eagle in the sky descended to a height and then slowed down . It then landed on a rock not far away from w.a.n.g Yao .

"This is Da Xia . " w.a.n.g Yao smiled . He walked to the side of the eagle and reached out to pat its feathers . The eagle looked like it enjoyed itself .

Tong Wei's beautiful eyes were full of astonishment . Her red lips were agape, and she looked pretty and adorable .

"You reared an eagle?"

"I didn't rear it; it just lives here," w.a.n.g Yao explained .

Tong Wei had only seen people who reared eagles in the movies . She did not expect to witness a person like this in real life, and this person was her cla.s.smate .

"Come into the cottage . "

"Sure . "

"Da Xia, goodbye . " Tong Wei faced the eagle and waved her hands in its direction . Da Xia ignored her . In the eagle's eyes, a pretty lady meant nothing .

"What tea would you like to have?"

"Anything . "

"I planted some tea and asked a tea master to hand process it recently . Do you want to try it?"

"Sure!" Tong Wei said and smiled .

w.a.n.g Yao had kept a portion of the tea made for himself . He opened the packaging and took some tea out to make a pot of tea .

As soon as Tong Wei entered the cottage, Tong Wei glanced around the small cabin . There was a bed, a desk, a chair with a back, some coffee tables and a few stools . There was also some firewood and a pot . The cottage was spick and span .

"Try it and let me know how it tastes?" w.a.n.g Yao poured a teacup for her .

"It's so aromatic!" Tong Wei took a small sip and exclaimed . "Apart from tending to these herbal fields, what else do you do?"

"I read, practice Tai Chi and decoct medicine . "

"Decoction? You have medical skills?"

"Yes . "

"You are full of surprises!" Tong Wei smiled and said .

When the sky darkened, the two of them went down the hill . w.a.n.g Yao's parents had prepared a table of dishes . His sister had also come home . His parents had called her after Tong Wei came to their place .

"My sister, w.a.n.g Ru . This is Tong Wei . "

"h.e.l.lo . " The w.a.n.g Ru at present was dignified and poised, looking every bit like an elder sister .

The whole family enjoyed the meal, especially w.a.n.g Yao's mother, who kept giving Tong Wei food .

After dinner, Tong Wei stayed in the house for a while and then w.a.n.g Yao drove her to her place in Lianshan . He met her parents, chatted and stayed there for a while . When he departed, Tong Wei walked him downstairs .

"Your mom is unwell?" when they were downstairs, w.a.n.g Yao enquired . Earlier in the house, he could tell that Tong Wei's mother's breathing was erratic, her complexion was not good, and her spirit was flagging . Her eyes also looked dimmed and lacked l.u.s.ter .

"Yes, it's an old ailment . Hey, you have medical skills, could you help take a look at my mother?"

"How about tomorrow? I guessing your mother has already taken her medication for the night?"

"Yes, she takes it after every meal, especially at night . "

"In that case, tell your mother that I will come tomorrow to see her . "

"Okay, that's a deal . " Tong Wei saw him off and then turned to head upstairs .

"That is the young man who came to help out when I was hospitalized?" After Tong Wei returned home, her mother asked her .

"Yes, it's him . "

"He looks dignified . What does he do?"

"He cultivates herbs . "

"Okay . " Her parents did not make any further comments . Tong Wei told her parents that w.a.n.g Yao would come the next day to take a look at her condition and asked her to wait for him and not go out . Her mother agreed .

When w.a.n.g Yao returned home, his parents did not rest . His mother peppered him with multiple questions, asking him if he went to the girl's place, how was the girls' parents' att.i.tude towards him and so on . It took a while before w.a.n.g Yao could get rid of her and departed .

When he was on the hill, w.a.n.g Yao examined the sky as usual and recited a chapter of the scripture before resting for the day .

The next day, after finis.h.i.+ng his ch.o.r.es on the hill, w.a.n.g Yao drove his car in preparation to see Tong Wei's mother since this was agreed on the night before .

When his car had reached near the center of the village, at the area where the military unit's house was, he saw a few familiar people—it was the branch secretary and the chairman, accompanying a middle-aged man who had the charisma of a boss . They were looking at something . On the road, a Benz was parked . As the village road was quite narrow and could only accommodate two cars, and the Benz took up a part of the road, w.a.n.g Yao had to drive very slowly . At the same time, he rolled down his car window as he saw that the branch secretary and the people with him were looking in his direction .

. . . . Are you hurt? Tong Wei recovered from her shock and looked at w.a.n.g Yao concernedly . At the same time, she reached out to examine his arms . The size of the rock was not small and weighed at least a few hundred kilograms . He must have mustered great strength to push it away; it would be inevitable for his arms to get injured . d.a.m.n, did you see that?! A martial arts expert! Did you take a video of that?
