"I'll deal with it," said Wang Yao .
His family said no more .
Wang Yao didn't rush to return to Nanshan hill after lunch . Instead, he stayed at home for most of the afternoon . He went back to Nanshan hill after the rain had stopped . He went to the other side of the hill to look for a small stone to put in the Spirit Gathering Battle Array . He placed the stone at a suitable location inside the array .
I still need several more stones .
Wang Yao did some stretches before going back to the other side of Nanshan hill . There were quite a few suitable stones at the middle portion of the hill . It was not easy to take them to where the array was .
The rain started again .
He found another suitable stone just below the middle half of the hill . The stone was not small, but he still decided to carry it to the array . Moving it was even harder due to the muddy roads caused by the rain . He had to constantly stop .
But, he could feel the Qi inside his body moving faster as time went by .
After Wang Yao arrived at the top of the hill, he stopped as he had a strange feeling inside his body . He sat down and crossed his legs despite the ground being dirty and muddy . He started to feel the Qi inside his body running like a river . It moved all the way through his meridians .
Hum! He sensed a tremor as if something was unblocked inside his meridian . His body shook again, then back to normal .
Another meridian!
This was a bonus for Wang Yao's hard work . Unblocking a meridian made Wang Yao suddenly feel less tired .
After he had placed the stone, it started to get dark . Wang Yao didn't stay on the hill for long . He went home straight away .
. . .
Wang Yao drove his sister to work in the city the next morning . He drove slowly due to the foggy weather .
Whizz! A small car passed him at high speed . The driver didn't even bother to indicate on such a foggy day . Wang Yao frowned . It was extremely dangerous to drive this fast in such weather . After driving for a while, Wang Yao slowed down as he saw something in front .
"What's going on?" said Wang Ru, who sat in the front passenger's seat .
"Not sure, seems like an accident in front," said Wang Yao .

Wang Yao continued to drive for about ten meters and saw that the accident involved multiple vehicles .
What is this?!
A yellow vehicle caught Wang Yao's attention .
It's a school bus!
Without hesitation, Wang Yao parked his vehicle along the road and then got out his vehicle .
The accident happened at a T-junction, which involved three vehicles . It appeared that the accident was caused by a small car, which hit the fence several meters away . The small car was upside down and was in terrible shape . Wang Yao took a close look and recognized the car was the one that whizzed past him a few minutes ago . The other vehicles collided as a result of trying to avoid the small car .
It was not clear whether the driver and passengers in the small car were badly injured or not . People from the other vehicles involved in the accident didn't seem to be badly injured . But there were children on the school bus .
"The bus is on fire!" someone shouted nearby .
Wang Yao saw that the school bus was on fire from underneath . There were still children on the bus . Wang Yao ran towards the school bus to help . The door of the bus was deformed so that he couldn't open it . However, the door next to the driver's seat was okay to open . He had to guide the students to get off the bus from there . But the students couldn't move fast due to the awkward position the bus was in . The fire almost reached the oil tank .
Wang Yao looked around and broke the windows with his fists .
"Come out from there!" Wang Yao pointed at the windows .
The frightened kids crawled out of the window as fast as they could . The passengers from other vehicles also came to help .
Whoosh! The fire was getting fierce and expanded fast .
Come on! thought Wang Yao .
Eventually, all the kids on the bus were saved, and the other vehicles involved in the accident were moved to the side of the road .
"That was so close!" said one of the passengers .
"What kind of bus it is? It didn't take much for it to be on fire!" said another passenger .
Wang Yao looked down at those kids who were still frightened and took a quick look at them . None of the kids were injured . Wang Ru also came to comfort the kids .
Looking at the smoke, Wang Yao didn't know when the ambulance would arrive . Traffic was blocked in both directions, and all the vehicles on that street had to stop .

"Oh my God!" Wang Yao suddenly heard someone screaming . He looked up and saw a man squatting on the ground, looking pale .
Wang Yao went towards the guy to help .
"Hi, are you okay?" asked Wang Yao .
"Not really, my belly is hurting," said the man .
"Let me take a look . I know a bit of medicine," said Wang Yao . The man was actively helping the children get out of the bus .
"Really? Oka . " The man looked even paler as the pain was increasing .
Wang Yao felt his pulse, and his face changed .
No!
This man had internal bleeding in his stomach which required urgent medical attention! Any delay could have severe consequences .
"What's going on?" asked the man's friend .
"He needs medical intervention immediately! As soon as possible!" said Wang Yao .
"Really?!" said the man's friend .
Weewoo! At that moment, the police had arrived . They were followed by an ambulance .
"Fortunately, the ambulance came in time," said Wang Yao .
The policemen helped to restore the traffic flow, and then the tow truck moved the vehicles involved in the accident away . Paramedics were busy treating the injured passengers and drivers . There were four injured people in this accident—two of them had minor injuries, but the driver of the small car causing the accident was badly injured and unconscious . The man who Wang Yao was helping had internal bleeding .
The paramedic didn't forget to ask questions before he got on the ambulance .
"How did you know he had internal bleeding?" asked the paramedic to the man's friend .
"A doctor just took a look at him and said his condition was urgent," said the man's friend .

"I see," said the paramedic .
The ambulance left . After some time, the ambulance arrived at the town hospital half an hour later .
"This patient's condition is very urgent . Our hospital is not equipped to treat him . Please contact his next of kin to arrange a transfer," said paramedic .
"What? Internal bleeding? Who said that?" asked the senior consultant from the emergency department .
"A doctor on the scene," replied the paramedic .
At the moment, the patient lying on the hospital bed was moaning in excruciating pain .
"Arrange a CT and get the operating room ready!" commanded the senior consultant .
"Okay!" said one of the medical staff members .
The CT room was ready in 20 minutes .
"It is very obvious that he has internal bleeding . He needs surgery immediately," said the doctor from the CT room after he looked at the scan .
An operating room was made available immediately due to the emergency situation .
The patent's friend was helping around . He watched his friend being taken into the operating room and waited outside . Soon, the patient's family had arrived .
"How is he doing?" asked the patient's mother anxiously .
"He is now having surgery; don't worry too much," said the patient's friend .
The surgery was completed about two hours later, and the patient was taken out of the operating room .
"How is my son, doctor?" asked the patient's mother anxiously .
"The surgery was successful . He should be fine," said the surgeon . On the one hand, the surgery went smoothly . On the other hand, the patient was taken to the hospital and had a scan in time . Wang Yao's initial diagnosis prevented a lot of unnecessary exams .
"Thank you so much!" said the patient's mother .
"This is what we doctors are supposed to do . But I'm curious about which doctor gave the diagnosis of internal bleeding?" said the surgeon in charge .
"Some doctor on the scene of the accident," said the patient's friend . He remembered Wang Yao well because Wang Yao was the first person running towards the bus on fire to save the children .
"If you get a chance, you should thank that doctor who provided that valuable information . It saved us a lot of time," said the surgeon .
After the patient was taken to the recovery room, his mother asked his friend about the name of the doctor on the scene . But his friend didn't get a chance to ask in such a frantic situation .
The patient's mother sighed .
. . .
Wang Ru was late for work due to the traffic accident .
It was her first time being late for work after her promotion, and it was Monday when she was supposed to attend a routine meeting at the Bureau . But she was not upset about being late . On the contrary, she was in a good mood and didn't mind being late, because she helped to save those children .
After dropping his sister at her workplace, Wang Yao didn't go home . Instead, he drove around the city and went to two places . First, he went to Wang Mingbao's store .
"Hi, how come you are here so early today?" Wang Mingbao said with a smile . He invited Wang Yao to the meeting room and made Wang Yao a cup of tea .
"I had to drop my sister at her workplace and thought I might as well stop by," said Wang Yao .
"Good! I happen to have something to ask you," said Wang Mingbao .
"What is it?" asked Wang Yao .
"How can you tell the quality of ginseng?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"Ginseng? Why do you ask about this?" said Wang Yao in surprise .
"One of my friends purchased some wild ginseng and wants to sell them . He gave me two for my father to enhance his health . Let me show you," Wang Mingbao took a box out of a drawer and handed the box over to Wang Yao .
It said North East Wild ginseng on the box .
Wang Yao couldn't help laughing when he saw the words on the box . The box looked fashionable . He opened the box and took a look . The ginseng looked quite big . After he looked closely, he found that it was no wild ginseng at all . It was from artificial cultivation, and something bad was added to the ginseng during the process .
"What do you think?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"This is not wild ginseng at all . It's definitely from artificial cultivation, and I believe certain drugs were mingled into it . You'd better not to take too much," said Wang Yao .
"Really?!" said Wang Mingbao in shock .
