After Wang Yao had returned home, he started to make herbal pills .
He had prepared ginseng, glossy ganoderma, Shanjing, and Guiyuan, etc . He had to fry the herbs first, then grind them into a powder, then put the power through the filter . Whatever didn't go through the filter had to be ground again until they could go through the filter .
All the herbs were turned into a fine powder and released a unique smell . Wang Yao packed the powder away in different bottles and marked each bottle . It took him all day to complete this .
The next day, he started to process the rest of the herbs .
He needed to prepare Moonlight herb, Ziyu, and irony plum blossom . These herbs could be damaged if Wang Yao fried them, so Wang Yao made a decoction out of those herbs .
It took him another day to complete all the work .
After Wang Yao had arrived home at night, he heard his mother talking about his uncle's pregnant wife again .
"Your uncle had his wife checked . It seems that she's pregnant with a girl . They are planning an abortion," said Wang Yao's mother .
"Girl? How can anyone tell it's a girl as she's only just gotten pregnant . " Wang Yao frowned .
"She's almost pregnant for three months . Your uncle said she went to see a doctor they knew in the hospital . The doctor said it is a girl," said Zhang Xiuying .
"My uncle's wife is over 40 years old," said Wang Yao . "She won't be able to try for a baby again for at least half a year if she gets an abortion . I don't think her body can tolerate the abortion . I think you should talk to my uncle . It's not ancient China anymore . What's the difference between having a girl and having a boy nowadays!"
The fetus had grown to a reasonable size at three months of pregnancy . Having an abortion at three months would severely damage the mother's body let alone being disrespectful to the tiny life . Unless the fetus had a deformity or a disability, no doctor would recommend an abortion .
"Your uncle doesn't want the baby . Your grandparents also want a grandson," said Zhang Xiuying .

Wang Yao kept silent . He couldn't agree with his uncle . In fact, he was disgusted by his uncle and grandparents' thoughts towards the baby . But, he was the younger generation; he could only express his thoughts to his parents, and not even all of his thoughts .
"Mom, talk to them anyway . They should really keep the baby if she or he is healthy," said Wang Yao seriously to his mother after dinner .
"Okay, I will try to convince your uncle to change his mind," said Zhang Xiuying . Her son rarely talked to her so seriously .
"Yao is right . There is no difference between having a girl and having a boy," said Wang Yao's father, who rarely expressed his thoughts on things like this . In fact, his father rarely talked about family members on his Zhang Xiuying's side, especially his uncle .
Wang Yao's mother had three siblings . She had two sisters and one younger brother . Her brother had been spoiled since birth . All his three sisters treated him really well . Wang Yao's mother was the eldest of the family, so she had to take care of her siblings . Zhang Xiuying's elder sister's family lived in Beijing; they only returned to the village once a year . The other sister lived in Lianshan town center . Wang Yao's uncle was very reliant on his mother and his younger auntie . Although his father never complained about it, Wang Yao knew his father was not particularly happy with his uncle . Wang Yao's mother was also not particularly happy with his father's brothers . Both of his parents favored their own siblings .
"I'll stay on Nanshan hill overnight tomorrow," said Wang Yao to his parents after dinner .
Wang Yao planned to make herbal hills on the hill, and he required a lot of time to do it . He didn't want to be distracted and preferred to be successful after the first trial . So, he decided to stay on the hill .
"What are you going to do?" asked Zhang Xiuying .
"Make herbal pills," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Zhang Xiuying, who didn't ask any further questions .
Wang Yao left home at about 7 pm . He walked to the south side of the village, then started to speed up . He was as fast as the wind . If he were seen by someone in the dark, he would probably be considered a ghost .
After walking for a while, Wang Yao stopped suddenly . He heard some noises from a field where hays were stored .
"Be gentle," said a woman .

"Babe, I miss you so much!" said a man .
"We were just together a few days ago, and you can't bare it already?" said the woman .
Wang Yao realized that a man and a woman were having an affair .
"How is your sick husband?" asked the man .
Wang Yao was about to leave, but he changed his mind after hearing the conversation .
"He is still the same . He's sick all day and all night, like a drug addict," said the woman grumpily .
"That's why he can't satisfy you," said the man .
"But I have you," said the woman .
"Haha, let me make you feel good!" said the man .
Wang Yao frowned as he was disgusted by the conversation . His face was sullen . Of course, no one could see him in the dark .
What a beautiful night! Wang Yao looked up at the sky . The moon was as cold as water, and the stars were flashing .
And what a disgusting couple! He looked at the couple who were making love behind the hays and had no awareness that someone was nearby .
Wang Yao decided to do something about it .
"Hey, what you two are doing here?!" shouted Wang Yao .

He was roaring like a lion and was like thunder to the couple .
Wang Yao used his Qi to shout, so it was extraordinarily loud, especially on a quiet night . Almost half of the village could hear Wang Yao, and even the windows of houses nearby were shaking mildly .
What the hell!
The man who was having sex with the woman suddenly stopped . He felt cold as the wind passed by .
The woman was also shocked .
The two of them escaped out of the field without putting on their pants . After they came out, all they could see was darkness . It was the empty field in front of their eyes, and a forest in the distance . They couldn't see anyone .
"There's no one?!" asked the woman .
"What was with that shout?!" said the man .
The two of them originally felt a bit guilty, but now they were really scared . If this happened during the day, people would think they had seen a ghost, as their faces were so white .
"Haha, I feel so good now!" sighed Wang Yao .
After he had returned to Nanshan hill, he thought he did something good and felt good about it .
"Not sure about how their mental bearing is, being interrupted while having sex in such a scary way could lead to a psychological disorder!" laughed Wang Yao .
San Xian wagged his tail and looked up at Wang Yao in confusion as his master was talking to himself .
San Xian looked at Wang Yao as if to say, "What's going on with you? So weird!"
Wang Yao sat on a stool outside the cottage and looked at the sky quietly . The wind was soft . Wang Yao felt comfortable to have the wind blowing around him .
"Looks like the weather tomorrow should be good . It will be a good day to make herbal pills," said Wang Yao with a smile .
It was a nice day the next morning . The sun was shining, and the wind was calm .
The eagle left the tree and soared into the sky to inspect his kingdom . As the lord of the sky, his range of activity was broad .
San Xian was wandering casually in his territory . After working together with Da Xia for the last few days, the invaders such as rats, snakes, insects, and ants were all cleared out from the herbal field . The field became peaceful again .
Inside the cottage, Wang Yao took out all the herbs he had prepared .
"San Xian, I'm going to make herbal pills, don't let anyone in!" shouted Wang Yao .
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian responded to Wang Yao immediately to indicate that he had heard the order . Then, he turned around and entered herbal field through the only path . He looked down in an extremely alert manner . He was not a common dog at that time, he was the king of the field, of course, second to his master, who was busy working in the cottage .
Inside the cottage, Wang Yao wiped the herb tray carefully then took out a fine brush to brush the herb tray with the decoction he made yesterday . He then spread herbal powder made by a type of herb into the herb tray and shook it gently . After finishing the whole process, he started to brush the herb tray again and conducted the same process again and again carefully .
The herbs were very precious, not like those he used to practice the process of making herbal pills a few days ago . He had to be very careful .
The herbal powder inside the herb tray slowly turned into herbal pills . Initially, the pills were as tiny as rice . Then slowly, they got bigger and bigger .
The mix of different herbs released a special smell .
At that moment, Wang Yao was like an expert with magical hands who could conduct the most delicate work or a master sculptor who could make the most complicated sculptures .
