“This is to save people,” w.a.n.g Yao answered.

If this was for other situations, he would not give away the formula that easily. Although they were just some ordinary medicinal herbs, this combination might produce a new drug. Each new drug might bring a high profit.

“Let’s go see the sheep,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

Baa. The sheep was obviously much better just after a day.

“The water plants are really useful,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

“Let’s go feed another sheep,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

The water plants in the well were limited. He wanted to try something else. This time, he fed the sheep by using the leaves from the trees that were chopped off from the top of the ancient tomb.

“They’re already dry. Does the sheep still eat them?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

The sheep ate the leaves, but it could not eat much because it was sick. In fact, the sheep’s plant recipes were more extensive. It would eat either fresh or dry leaves and gra.s.s.

It’ll make things easier if these leaves are effective too.

w.a.n.g Yao looked up at the mountain peak not far away.

Someone in the village fell ill again. His family looked for w.a.n.g Yao. It was the same illness.

This time, w.a.n.g Yao decocted a medicine by using the water plants and several other drugs. He let the sick person consume it.

These Chinese medicines are running out.

Most of the Chinese medicine w.a.n.g Yao purchased from the outside had been used up. He had not expected the illness to break out all of a sudden. Therefore, he did not purchase that much.

“I need some medicinal herbs,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He was a pharmacist, not a G.o.d. He could not treat all illnesses without basis. He could not do so even with the magical neixi he had.

The village was now quarantined. He had to talk to the people outside if he wanted to buy some medicines.

w.a.n.g Yao told the secretary about the matter and asked him to communicate with the people outside.

Just as he was being busy in the village, something happened outside the village. A group of reporters came from nowhere. They were holding cameras and were stopped by the armed police. Judging from their somewhat crazy looks, they were like sharks that had smelled a b.l.o.o.d.y smell.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m a reporter from the Qinzhou Metropolis Daily. Is there an epidemic here?”

“Sorry. I don’t have anything to say.”

“h.e.l.lo, I’m…”

The policemen and armed police were annoyed. These reporters were like flies, but the policemen were not stools. If there was no law, they would have slapped them already.

These reporters knew that there was an epidemic, yet they risked their lives and rushed over. Were they so dedicated and eager to become famous?

Of course, the policemen could not do so, but it did not mean that other people would not do such things. Soon, an unknown higher-up got the news and rushed over. He chased the reporters away with tough means.

“Very nice!”

“My anger has been worked off!”

These were the feelings the armed police had in common.

At that time, the secretary came over to negotiate with them. Of course, he was not in a good mood.

“The people in our village are sick and can’t be cured. Are you just going to watch them die?” The secretary was furious.

“This is a special situation.”

“Special? You’re getting paid without doing any work!” the secretary said.

“What did you say!” The look on the higher-up’s face changed. “See, didn’t I say that this would happen?”

w.a.n.g Mingbao was worried that something would happen. He suggested to w.a.n.g Yao that they should follow behind. Then, they heard the conversation between the secretary and higher-up.

According to common practice, they should have a positive and gentle behavior in such a situation. The way they dealt with it was too rude and blunt.

w.a.n.g Yao felt enraged.

“Is this your way of handling this matter?” he went forward and asked calmly.

“Who are you? What does this have to do with you?” the higher-up asked.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at his tone.” w.a.n.g Mingbao immediately recorded it. “I’ll post it online to let the people see how harsh the public servants are!”

The higher-up took a few deep breaths.

“Give me the list.” He eventually gave in.

“Please be quick,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

That man turned around and left.

Looking at his back, w.a.n.g Yao was a little lost in thought.

…

After returning to Shangjun, Director Long started studying the formula provided by w.a.n.g Yao and began experimenting it on the patients. The effect could only be obtained after observing it for a period of time.

…

In the mountain village, w.a.n.g Yao received a call from Tong Wei.

“How are things over there? Are the children all right?” she asked.

“They’re fine, but I need to continue to stay here for a while,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Nothing. w.a.n.g Mingbao has his eyes on a teacher here. I’ve also discovered some special things and want to study it here. We will stay for a few days.” w.a.n.g Yao revealed w.a.n.g Mingbao’s matter easily. He did not intend to keep it a secret.

“You’re truly my buddy!” w.a.n.g Mingbao exclaimed helplessly.

“Is he beside you?” she asked.

“h.e.l.lo, Sister-in-law.”

“h.e.l.lo.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep an eye on him. I’ll never let him mess around!” w.a.n.g Mingbao shouted into the phone.

“That’s good then.” On the other end of the phone, Tong Wei smiled like a flower.

“But then, when can the things here be solved?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

“Didn’t you say that you don’t mind?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“I’m tired of eating steamed bread and cabbage. I need meat. Why don’t you kill one of your experimental sheep and roast or stew it?” w.a.n.g Mingbao suggested.

“Put up with it for a little while more.” w.a.n.g Yao rolled his eyes at him.

Thud. A policeman collapsed outside of the village. He vomited and had diarrhea. He had been infected.

Oh no!

The police and armed police in-charge of this task were originally on tenterhooks and afraid of being infected. Now that this situation had occurred, they were worried. After all, the body was the ability of revolution. Everyone could only live their lives once.

Some people started to find reasons to leave. Their reasons were that their children were sick, their wives had given birth, or their parents were hospitalized. They came up with all kinds of reasons to ask for leave.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the higher-ups came up with a tactic, which was rotation. Of course, these were all off-topics. The province and city had made important comments on this matter and stayed concerned about it. Those who were truly under immense pressure were the medical specialists, whose task was to find a cure for the illness. The specialist from Jing was already on his way.

Han Jia fell ill that night. When w.a.n.g Mingbao got the news, he became anxious. He dragged w.a.n.g Yao along and went to the dormitory where she was.

“Quick. Take a look,” he said.

w.a.n.g Yao gave her a checkup. She was infected by the illness.

“I’ll decoct some medicine to see how the effect is,” he said.

He used the herbs taken out from the well with some of the drugs that he had kept.

Looking at w.a.n.g Mingbao’s anxious look, w.a.n.g Yao consoled him, “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”

“She was fine. How did she get infected?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“Don’t worry,” Han Jia said with a smile. She felt weak from head to toe, sore, and nauseous.

“Alright. She needs to rest,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“You can go back first. I’ll stay here to accompany her,” w.a.n.g Mingbao replied.

“Okay then. Give me a call if anything happens,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He left alone. He had many thoughts on his way back. The situation needed to be resolved quickly. He could start with the water plants and trees. He considered extracting the active ingredients in them in a short period of time. He could not wait for the so-called experts for this.

He thought it over and over again. In the end, he gave Chen Boyuan a call.

“What? Bingzhou? What are you doing over there? Epidemic? Why do I not know about it? Okay, okay. I’ll tell Madam about this immediately.”

Soon, Chen Boyuan called back.

“Someone will go over tomorrow and contact you.”

“Alright,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

That night, the specialist from Jing arrived in Shangjun and held a meeting to discuss their opinions. The next day, one of them proposed going to the mountain village to have a look.

“Professor Chen, we’ve been there. We didn’t obtain anything useful,” Director Long said.

He knew very well about this person. He was a specialist in internal medicine and infectious diseases.

“Let’s go have a look again,” Professor Chen said.

He was the authority in this respect. Since he insisted on going, of course he had to go.

A car entered the mountain village the next day. After entering the mountain village, the specialist from Jing did not go to the tomb first. Instead, he looked for w.a.n.g Yao.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m Chen Jingzhi. Boyuan asked me to look for you.”
