"When the time comes, how many people will there be trying to recruit him?"
On Nanshan Hill, a light breeze was blowing .
w.a.n.g Yao carefully maintained the herbal fields . Ever since the Hallucination Array was established, the growth rates of these herbs had been astounding . This was especially so for the spiritual herbs which took forever to grow .
As he was going through the fields, the dog followed along beside him wagging its tail in joy .
"San Xian, you must help me look after this place . "
Bark bark!
…
By the seaside in Haiqu City, the waves were rolling in .
A beautiful person sighed helplessly .
"Uncle He, sometimes I wonder, were I in Xiao Xue's place, how would I fare?"
"What are you thinking about this for?"
"I don't know either . It's just been on my mind recently," the beautiful person said while gazing upwards at the blue sky .
"Oh heavens, you gave her a life of riches, twenty years of living like a princess . Then you gave her three years where living was like death . What is this? Fairness? Or a prank?"
"Miss, you…"
Ring ring . The ringing of the phone interrupted their conversation . Guo Sirou picked up the phone, and her facial expression became serious .
"Yes, it's me . . . What?! No problem, I can a.s.sure you . "
Yes! Guo Sirou excitedly clenched her fist . Her face was beaming, and her body was trembling .
"What is it?" He Qisheng hurriedly asked . It was rare for him to see the usually serious young miss lose control of her emotions like this .
"He has agreed . "
"Agreed? He agreed to go to Beijing?!"
"Yes, I'll immediately inform the Su family . "
Guo Sirou picked up the phone to inform Chen Boyuan, who was still waiting in Lianshan County .
"Miss Guo, are you sure?"
"Yes of course, immediately go prepare; you only have three days left . "
"Understood, I'll make preparations now . "
Next, there was a phone call to Beijing .
"What, he agreed?!"
"Yes, but there is a condition . "
"No matter what, just invite him over . There's a plane waiting in Haiqu city, direct to Beijing . "
"Yes . "
. . .
Lianshan County, in the village .
It was not yet noon . w.a.n.g Yao left the hill and went to his parents' house .
"Dad, Mom, I've decided to go to Beijing . "
"Great!" Unexpectedly, his parents simultaneously expressed their agreement . They were very earnest about it, and his father w.a.n.g Fenghua even seemed to release a sigh of relief as though worried that his son would decide not to go .
"Dad, you were hoping that I go?" w.a.n.g Yao laughed, asking .
"You could say that," w.a.n.g Fenghua shared his true thoughts with his family .
"Recently, I had personally seen four people die . Two of them were even from our village, and I even knew them personally . I really wanted to help them, but what could I do?" w.a.n.g Fenghua said . It seems that this incident had little relation to w.a.n.g Yao going to Beijing .
w.a.n.g Yao listened quietly . He could understand his father's sentiments . Having seen death before, he could not bear to let someone else die like this .
"Do what you can to help . "
"I will," w.a.n.g Yao said, nodding his head .
"When you go to Beijing this time, we will help you look after your herbal fields . "
"Alright . "
"I'll go make food . "
"No need, the people are already here," w.a.n.g Yao said with a faint smile .
"Huh?"
Knock knock knock . Sounds of knocking came from the door .
"Someone's here . "
Just as he said this, someone pushed open the door and entered . It was the two men who came previously, Chen Boyuan and Xia Su .
"Okay then, I'm leaving," w.a.n.g Yao said .
"Okay, I'll head up to Nanshan Hill," w.a.n.g Fenghua said, getting up .
"How about eating before you leave?"
"Don't worry, there's food up on the hill," w.a.n.g Fenghua replied .
"Mr . w.a.n.g?"
"Let's go," w.a.n.g Yao replied .
"Thank you . "
The black car left the house and sped off along the road . It seemed that Chen Boyuan was not a talkative fellow, and Xia Su was even more quiet . The two of them scarcely said up to ten lines in the entire one-hour drive . Haiqu City's airport had just been established not too long ago, so it was shocking to see a private jet waiting there, the value of which could not be estimated .
"Tsk tsk, look at that . It's a Gulfstream G550, a rich man's toy!"
"I wonder which boss is so rich?"
"It's from Beijing . "
It took roughly an hour and twenty minutes from Lianshan County to Haiqu City . Because of the recent renovation works along this stretch of road, it took a little longer than expected . When they reached the airport, Guo Sirou and He Qisheng were already waiting there .
"Doctor w.a.n.g, thank you," Guo Sirou said sincerely .
This time, by agreeing to help her out, w.a.n.g Yao had truly done a big favor for her and her family .
"Don't forget what you promised me," w.a.n.g Yao said flatly .
"Definitely . "
"Mr . w.a.n.g, please be at ease . Whatever Miss Guo has promised, our family will certainly deliver . "
"Let's go . "
At the airport, w.a.n.g Yao also saw the brand new commercial aircraft .
"Big families are different . "
This is the first time he was sitting on a plane, and such a high grade one at that! It seems like the bosses at the highest echelons of the country loved to ride these sort of planes, which cost up to a few billion . The interior was also decorated in a very extravagant manner .
"Then, let's go see the ancient capital and today's Beijing!"
The plane quickly ascended after it took off, and w.a.n.g Yao could see the clouds outside through the window .
"Mr . w.a.n.g, this is the lunch we have prepared . Because of time constraints, we had to prepare something simpler; please bear with it . After reaching Beijing, we will invite you to a big meal . "
"This is already pretty good," w.a.n.g Yao said lightly .
. . .
Beijing, the ancient capital of hiding dragons and tigers .
As the plane descended, w.a.n.g Yao could see the shape of the city's buildings and a mixture of modern and ancient architecture .
It's easy to imagine how many people would like to move over and set up a family in Beijing . It's also easy to imagine the many who attempted and failed . Many years back, w.a.n.g Yao too had such notions . He had a few friends who moved to Beijing that he had not contacted for a while . He wondered how they were doing now .
As the plane was touching down, there were already people waiting outside, and a car prepared to pick them up .
. . .
In a house in Beijing .
"What's going on?" A well-dressed middle-aged man rushed out into the living room .
"Xiang Rong, don't be too shocked . Xiaoxue might not have much time left . "
"What?!"
"She's too worn out!" Said a 70-year-old man, sighing in exasperation .
A girl like this, after contracting such a strange disease—the fact that she had held onto until now was already a miracle .
That middle-aged man was also stunned after hearing this . He stood there in a daze .
"Worn out! I'm worn out too!"
…
"Where is the light coming from? It feels so warm . "
"What place is that, Heaven? Or is it another world?"
"Goodbye, Grandpa, Dad, Mom . I'm tired . I can't hold on much longer . "
"If there's such a thing as reincarnation, I hope to once again be your daughter, healthily . "
Beep beep beep! The apparatus by her bedside started beeping rapidly .
"Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue!" The middle-aged man anxiously called out the girl's name as though to keep her from leaving . Listening to that sound, everyone rushed into the room .
"I'm sorry, head elder . "
The old man didn't say a word, but tears were streaming down his eyes .
They still couldn't save her!
"They're here!" A 40-year-old man rushed in from the outside . Then, he saw a scene that made him very worried .
"Xiaoxue!"
When w.a.n.g Yao entered the room, he saw a whole room of people crying and calling Xiaoxue's name . He saw the patient lying on the sick bed, her body wrapped in bandages . He also saw the apparatus at the bedside, beeping constantly .
It seems that if he had been one step later, she would have pa.s.sed on .
Seeing this, he hurriedly moved in front of the bed where two mixed scents a.s.saulted his nostrils .
There was a faint fragrance, and then there was a putrid scent that could not be masked, like that of rotting meat .
He reached out and took her pulse .
Hmm? Suddenly, another old doctor who had been tending to the patient made a sound .
"Who is this young man?"
"This person is still alive!" w.a.n.g Yao said softly .
"What?!"
Upon hearing him, everyone suddenly stopped crying and opened their eyes to look at him .
"I said, she is still alive," w.a.n.g Yao said calmly .
One sentence, it made all the crying in the room stop .
"I need a quiet environment . Not more than three people inside here . "
Saying this, w.a.n.g Yao took out a clean white bottle from his pocket . Inside it was the Prolongation pill .
Immediately, the room cleared out except for three people . Those were the patient's parents and the old doctor .
w.a.n.g Yao shook out one pill . It wasn't too big, but it emitted a unique medicinal scent . This scent was not particularly strong, but it immediately suppressed the faint fragrance and the unpleasant odor .
One pill was delivered to the patient . Then, w.a.n.g Yao waited in silence .
Beep beep beep . The apparatus suddenly sounded again . The patient's heart started to beat again .
"How is this possible?!" The old man's eyes widened, and he immediately rushed to her bedside to take her pulse .
A moment later, he straightened his body and stared directly at w.a.n.g Yao .
"Young man, what did you give her?!"
"A pill," w.a.n.g Yao calmly replied .
"I know it's a pill . What kind of medicine was it?"
"My apologies," w.a.n.g Yao refused, laughing .
"I'm sorry; I was too impulsive," was the reply from the old man who regained his wits .
w.a.n.g Yao's pill had effectively reversed life and death . However, inside his heart, it was nowhere near as calm as his face seemed to show .
"Fortunately, we were just in time . If we were later by just a little bit, even if it were this miraculous Prolongation Pill, it might not have had any use . "
Temporarily, the patient had been revived .
The whole family was joyous, and the patient's mother even cried . As the savior, w.a.n.g Yao received thousands of words of thanks .
"Don't thank me too quickly; I still need to take a look at her . "
w.a.n.g Yao once again went back to take her pulse . This time, it was much longer than before . Earlier, because he was rus.h.i.+ng to save the patient, he did not make a thorough diagnosis .
"This is . . . ?!"
w.a.n.g Yao frowned . He had never seen anything like this before .
As he looked at the patient in front of him, she looked completely like a rotten up tree—both inside and outside, there was nothing to be done .
The flesh outside was festering, the organs were failing, and the meridians were all in a mess .
This truly was a living dead person!
. . . . When the time comes, how many people will there be trying to recruit him? On Nanshan Hill, a light breeze was blowing . w.a.n.g Yao carefully maintained the herbal fields . Ever since the Hallucination Array was established, the growth rates of these herbs had been astounding . This was especially so for the spiritual herbs which took forever to grow . As he was going through the fields, the dog followed along beside him wagging its tail in joy . San Xian, you must help me look after this place .
