Chapter 401: Bow to the Sky

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An article suddenly appeared on the internet. It described the spread of a horrible contagious disease somewhere in Qinzhou. People had died because of the disease.

The local government in Qinzhou province and Bingzhou had tried their best to control the spread of the disease. They strictly forbid anyone involved to release any information related to the disease to media. However, the news still went online, upsetting the local government.

“Who told the media about it?” The senior officer of the local government was furious.

The news wouldn’t be kept secret forever. Nowadays, news could travel rapidly through internet. However, due to lack of supervision, a lot of news being circulated on the internet was incorrect or partially incorrect. Eventually, that news became rumors, which could be completely different from the truth. Therefore, adequate supervision and guidance were necessary.

Although w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao were stuck in the village, they were informed of what was happening outside. They had smartphones that could access Wi-Fi.

“Hey, the world outside is really colorful!” w.a.n.g Mingbao sounded like he was eager to see the world in disorder.

“I found you’ve changed so much after you’ve fallen in love,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Really?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked. “Hey, that Dr. Long, the one looking like an iron can, said he had created a medication to treat the disease. Maybe the medication is based on the formula you gave him.”

w.a.n.g Yao squinted his eyes. “That’s possible.”

“I’ve seen shameless people, but not as shameless as him. At his age, even if he doesn’t look after himself, he should look after his offspring,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

“What do you mean?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“You know, he’s done so many immoral things, do you think he’s gonna have a son without an a.s.shole?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“His son has probably grown up,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

“Oh, but it’s possible he has a b.a.s.t.a.r.d son. And, don’t forget, he could have grandchildren,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said with a grin.

“You think too much of useless stuff,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He took a stool and went to the courtyard.

“What can you find in the sky?” w.a.n.g Mingbao continued to watch his smartphone while lying on bed. “Look at him! Such a hypocrite!”

He was looking at a video of Dr. Long inside. Dr. Long was making a presentation related to the contagious disease in the village in front of a group of journalists. He looked very serious.

“He looks like a decent person, but he has done indecent stuff. Maybe the bad guys just get old,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

“It is going to rain,” w.a.n.g Yao said softly as he was looking at the sky.

“Going to rain?” w.a.n.g Mingbao happened to hear what w.a.n.g Yao said as he walked out of the house with a stool.

“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“That’s good, then I can have a nap,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said..

“You’re not going to meet Han Jia?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“I’ll see about a nap after meeting her,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

w.a.n.g Yao thought w.a.n.g Mingbao had changed. w.a.n.g Mingbao only cared about his career before he met Han Jia. Now, it seemed like he only cared about Han Jia.

“That’s good,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.

“Of course, the rain will surely come,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

They didn’t realize they were talking about two different things.

“Do you think more people die from the disease?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“Yeah, even cold water could kill someone. This disease is highly risky,” w.a.n.g Yao said seriously.

“How come you didn’t make a big effort to treat them?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“Why? Why do you think I didn’t make a great effort?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“You just checked their pulses and brew the decoction. Then, they just recovered. It looked easy,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said.

“Are you serious?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“It looked quite easy to me,” w.a.n.g Mingbao replied.

w.a.n.g Yao suddenly became speechless. This knowledge was provided by the system and acc.u.mulated through treating patients. He could cure so many patients with weird medical conditions because he had the licorice roots. But, it seemed that what w.a.n.g Mingbao said made some sense.

w.a.n.g Yao didn’t discuss further with w.a.n.g Mingbao about how easy it appeared for him to treat his parents. At the moment, he only cared about when the disease would stop spreading. He wanted to know whether the water gra.s.s and leaves he sent out would work. It would be difficult to extract the effective part from those leaves during a short period of time. It would take a long time to take the essence out of the water gra.s.s and leaves even with the most advanced technology. Technicians from Western countries tried to study herbal formulas and extract the effective part from herbs. However, they all failed.

What was Chinese Traditional Medicine? It was the balance of Yin and Yang. It was the generation of five elements. It was the interaction of meridians and acupuncture points. People from Western countries couldn’t understand these concepts. Chinese Traditional Medicine appeared thousands of years earlier than Western or modern medicine. However, no progress was made for hundreds of years. Then, it started to decline.

Maybe they can try to cultivate a large amount of water gra.s.s during short period of time, w.a.n.g Yao thought.

Actually, the water gra.s.ses grew very rapidly. Although they were not like chives, which would grow back after being collected, they were pretty much like the chives.

“We should go back,” w.a.n.g Yao said out of blue.

The contagious disease had escalated and was an absolute mess. He didn’t think he would be very helpful if he continued to stay in the village. The people holding high position in the government would take care of the mess. However, he didn’t know what the small village’s destiny would be.

“They will be fine?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

Something unexpected happened.

“Dr. w.a.n.g, my wife is about to give birth!” A villager came to see w.a.n.g Yao in the morning.

“What?” w.a.n.g Yao was surprised.

“Your wife is about to give birth?” w.a.n.g Yao’s voice was a bit shaking.

“Yes, can you take a look at her?” the villager asked.

“You know how to deliver a baby?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked with surprise.

w.a.n.g Yao did have some knowledge about how to deliver a baby. After all, the system had given him systematic and various medical knowledge.

“Not really.” w.a.n.g Yao shook his head.

Knowing how to deliver a baby and being able to deliver a baby were two totally different things.

“Oh, well, I thought you knew,” w.a.n.g Mingbao said. “What can they do then?”

“They should go to the hospital immediately,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“But, we are not allowed to leave the village!” The villager started to cry.

“What?” w.a.n.g Yao squinted his eyes as a gust of wind blew. “What the h.e.l.l?”

w.a.n.g Yao was angry. He took a deep breath. It was useless to be angry about it. He needed to figure something out.

“Let me think about it,” w.a.n.g Yao said. Then, he called Chen Jingzhi.

“What? A pregnant woman?” Chen Jingzhi asked.

“Yes, she’s due to have the baby. The armed police force and local policemen won’t let her out of the village. I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been infected,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“I see. Leave it to me,” Chen Jingzhi said.

“Okay, this is urgent,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“I see.” Chen Jingzhi frowned after he had hung up the phone.

He had come across situations like this before. The last time a contagious disease was spreading, a lot of things had been buried without the public’s knowledge.

“What about my wife?” The villager brought w.a.n.g Yao back to his house.

w.a.n.g Yao took a look at the villager’s wife.

“I think she is about to give birth,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Oh, what can I do about it?” The villager was sweating and walking back and forth in the room.

If he couldn’t get permission to take his wife to the hospital, his wife would have to give birth in the village. Nowadays, n.o.body gave birth at home. Even if she was happy to give birth at home, no one in the village could deliver the baby. She could potentially die from childbirth.

The villager was hopeless. He went out to bow to the sky and bang his head to the ground.

Bang! Bang!

“s.h.i.+t! This is unbelievable!” w.a.n.g Mingbao cursed.

w.a.n.g Yao sat next to the bed. His fingers were still on the villager’s wife’s pulse. This was not her first pregnancy. She was nearly 40 years old. This was already a high-risk pregnancy given her age. Her current situation was not optimal.

“She’s going to give birth very soon,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

His prediction was pretty accurate. He was waiting for a response from Chen Zhijing. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t stand up. He took out a white porcelain bottle out of his pocket. He then took a small pill out of the bottle.

“Give it to her,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Okay,” the villager said. He took the pill over to his wife and had her take it.

The pill was a Nine gra.s.s pill made by w.a.n.g Yao. It was very powerful.

“I hope it will work,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

In fact, it worked. The villager’s wife, who had been experiencing contraction pain, had a warm feeling in her belly. The contraction pain seemed to be more bearable.

The pill was so effective, she thought.

“What is this pill?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“Nine gra.s.s pill,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“To protect the baby?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

w.a.n.g Yao took a deep breath, and said, “No!”

“Then, why did you give it to her?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

w.a.n.g Yao stared at w.a.n.g Mingbao for a while.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“I doubt you are not the real w.a.n.g Mingbao,” w.a.n.g Yao joked.

“What are you talking about?” w.a.n.g Mingbao asked.

“The w.a.n.g Mingbao I know has never been so talkative,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“Talkative? I’m not!” w.a.n.g Mingbao said with confusion.
