w.a.n.g Yao returned to the cottage after his deep breathing exercises to check on the eagle. Its eyes were not as sharp as before.

w.a.n.g Yao found the meat in the bowl was less later in the afternoon.

“It’s good that you are eating. It’s a good sign,” laughed w.a.n.g Yao.

He found that not much meat was left in the bowl the next morning.

Maybe you don’t like pork. I should give you something else.

So w.a.n.g Yao went to buy some rabbit meat for the eagle and placed the rabbit meat in the bowl in front of the eagle. This time, the eagle was much less cautious.

“I want to check your wound,” w.a.n.g Yao pointed at its wings.

w.a.n.g Yao made some trauma herbs in the afternoon and put on some thick clothes before coming to the eagle. The eagle was not cooperative as expected, moving its wings, biting w.a.n.g Yao, and slashed w.a.n.g Yao’s clothes. San Xian was barking anxiously nearby.

It took w.a.n.g Yao big effort to wrap the wound, and his clothes were destroyed.

Such a bird of prey!

w.a.n.g Yao looked at his destroyed clothes. Fortunately, I was well prepared and lucky, otherwise the claws could go straight through the clothes and hurt my skin.

“Now, have a good rest. I’ll change the bandage a few days later,” said w.a.n.g Yao. He then went back into the cottage to change his clothes.

w.a.n.g Yao mentioned his intention of buying an apartment again when was having lunch at home with his parents. He asked his parents if they had thought about it.

“Yao, tell me how much money you have now?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Over one million.” Actually w.a.n.g Yao had over 2 million yuan in his bank account, but he didn’t want to scare his parents with the truth.

“What? Where did you get so much money!” His parents were still shocked.

“I made some money by selling herbs and decoctions. I didn’t put the money away just as a deposit. Instead, I invested in the stock market and made more money,” said w.a.n.g Yao calmly.

“That simple?” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Yeah, just like that,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“In such a short period of time?” said Zhang Xiuying. “You spent 400 thousand yuan on the contract, then a lot on the car. Now you still have over one million left?”

w.a.n.g Yao’s parents were truly in shock. Who else in the village could earn nearly 2 million yuan in less than half a year.

“Yao, tell mom—have you done anything illegal?” asked Zhang Xiuying anxiously.

Mom, what are you talking about? How could that be possible? And I stay on the hill most of the time. What can I do?” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“You are right,” said Zhang Xiuying, “but your money comes too fast!”

“I was just really lucky to make quite a lot of money in the stock market. This money is easy come easy go!” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Okay, just be careful with your money,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Sure, that’s why I wanted to buy an apartment.”

“Okay! Let’s buy it!” said w.a.n.g Fenghua.

“Great! I’ll start to look around,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao went back to the hill after dinner. He called w.a.n.g Mingbao to ask him about the real estate market. After all, w.a.n.g Mingbao’s business was related to real estate.

Suddenly, San Xian started to bark when w.a.n.g Yao was ready to go to bed.

Thieves?!

w.a.n.g Yao got off bed immediately and went out of the cottage to check what was going on.

He didn’t see anyone outside. San Xiao also ran out of his dog house but came back a moment later.

“What’s going on, San Xian?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao followed San Xian into the herbal field and saw some herbs were being eaten by animals.

“Animals. That’s fine.” w.a.n.g Yao was relieved.

“Well done, San Xian.” w.a.n.g Yao patted San Xian’s back and walked back into the cottage.

The next day, he found the footprints inside the herbal field; they looked like they belonged to wild rabbits.

Rabbits! I hope they won’t come anymore, thought w.a.n.g Yao.

The wild rabbits were easily frightened. They shouldn’t come back after being scared by San Xian.

w.a.n.g Yao gave the eagle more rabbit meat in the morning and asked his mother to look after the herbal field for him. He then drove to the town center. He went straight to w.a.n.g Mingbao, who had found him several apartments. They went to check the apartments together.

w.a.n.g Mingbao picked three different complexes and a few popular designs. All the complexes were close to the school and shopping center. Of course, none of the apartments were cheap. After looking around, w.a.n.g Yao picked an apartment that was about 130 square meters plus a parking lot. The price was nearly 800 thousand yuan.

But 800 thousand couldn’t even cover a toilet in Shanghai or Beijing.

After w.a.n.g Yao had made his decision, he went to the real estate agency straight away with w.a.n.g Mingbao. The agent gave him a discount as he was paying in cash. w.a.n.g Yao got the keys after he had paid the full amount. The real estate agent told him that it would take about one week to get the certificate of owners.h.i.+p. After the settlement, w.a.n.g Yao left the internal renovation to w.a.n.g Mingbao, who ran a renovation business.

“I’ll leave everything to you then,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“No problem! I’ll make sure you get the best design and service,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao with a smile. This was a piece of cake for him.

“Thank you!” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“No problem!”

w.a.n.g Yao left the keys to the apartment with w.a.n.g Mingbao.

It was almost 2 pm, w.a.n.g Yao invited w.a.n.g Mingbao out for lunch at a nice restaurant. His phone rang after he finished lunch.

“h.e.l.lo? It’s Tong Wei calling, how are you?” A woman’s voice came from the other side of the phone. The voice was gentle and nice.

“h.e.l.lo, I’m good. I’m in town now and going home soon. Is there anything you need me to do?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Nothing special, I just want to invite you to dinner tonight to thank you for taking me to the hospital the other day,” said Tong Wei.

“It’s nothing, you don’t need to buy me dinner.”

“It’s just a meal; it won’t take too long,” said Tong Wei in her angelic voice.

“Well,” w.a.n.g Yao took a look at the time, “I’m really not available tonight. Can I call you another day? My treat!”

“Okay!” Tong Wei hung up the phone. She was not happy, but she was still fine.

“Was it a girl?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Yes,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“She wants to buy you dinner?”

“Yes.”

“And you declined?”

“Yeah, I had to watch the herbal field,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Are you serious? Do you know your mom would kill you if she knew you turned down a girl’s invitation!” said w.a.n.g Mingbao. “It’s such an honor to be invited to dinner by a girl! Hey, is it because she’s not good looking?”

“Of course not, she is very pretty,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Tong Wei was a stunning beauty who didn’t even need makeup.
