The autumn sky looked extraordinarily clear . The air was also a lot cooler .
There were not many people going up the hill at this hour . It was very quiet on the mountain roads . Wang Yao walked a little quicker as well .
His footsteps felt a bit strange . This was the type of footstep recorded in Quan Jing . It may have felt strange, but he was moving extremely fast . In his body, his breath was like a surging river .
Unknown to him, his speed became faster and faster . The dust was blowing under his feet . Wherever he passed by, the shape of a dragon was formed .
On the hill, it was even more refreshing in the Spirit-gathering battle array .
“San Xian?”
Lying in its kennel, the dog turned its head to have a look and it ignored Wang Yao .
“What’s going on?”
Wang Yao smiled and went over to stroke San Xian’s head .
“Hey, what’s this?!”
He was surprised to find an egg under the dog’s stomach in its kennel . The egg was intact .
Wang Yao picked it up and looked at it carefully .
This was an egg of a wild chicken .
“San Xian, where did you get this from?”
Woof, woof . San Xian barked a few times .
“What do you want to do? Eat a fried egg?”
The dog gave a scornful look . Lifting its paws, it pointed at the egg and pointed at its own stomach .
“Could it be that you’re trying to hatch it?” Wang Yao was completely dumbfounded .
Woof, woof . The dog nodded .
“You’re a dog . You’re a mammal . You’re viviparous, not oviparous . Wait, how do you know how to hatch eggs? Who taught you? I’m confiscating it!” Wang Yao directly confiscated the egg of the wild chicken . “San Xian, remember, you’re a dog . Dogs can’t hatch eggs . Dogs can’t fly too!” Wang Yao stroked San Xian’s head and did not care if it understood him or not .
Growl . The dog seemed to be reluctant . It was growling with a low pitch .
Wang Yao smiled despite the growl and went into the cottage . He picked up the Sang Yao Medical Book and continued to study it . While he was reading, he heard a movement outside . He then got up and saw that the dog had come out of its kennel . It quivered for a bit, exited the battle array and went up the hill .
Where is this dog going?
Wang Yao got up and followed the dog . His movements were very light . However, no matter how light they were, they could not be hidden from the dog’s ears . After a while, the dog heard a sound from behind . It then turned around and saw a tree . Wang Yao had climbed up the tree .
Damn! Its vigilance is pretty high!
The dog continued to go up the hill and Wang Yao fell far behind .
From afar, he saw that the dog had stopped at a place at the back of the hill . It then quietly laid down .
What’s going on?
Wang Yao went closer . The dog turned around and glanced at him .
Poop-picker, you’re really tracking me, huh? Where’s the trust between humans and dogs?
Eh?
Wang Yao was startled .
He saw a nest of eggs on the peak of the rock in between the two mountain rocks . A chicken was crouching above the eggs .
“Sss, so this is how you learned how to hatch it?” Wang Yao asked the dog beside him .
Woof .
“Well, your observation is very detailed and your idea is very bold,” Wang Yao stroked the dog’s head . “However, you’re a dog . ”
Wang Yao felt that it was necessary for him to correct the ideology of the dog, but he did not know how .
Suddenly, there was a rustle .
The wild chicken which was hatching the eggs became alert . The dog had also pricked up his ears and began to stare in the direction of the sound .
A weasel leaped out from behind the weeds .
There still is such a thing on the hill? Wang Yao was stunned . It is the chicken’s natural predator!
The wild chicken flew away and did not have the time to care about the eggs in the nest .
Swoosh . The dog suddenly dashed forward and went straight for the weasel . The dog was extremely fast . It was in front of the weasel in an instant and held the weasel down with its paws .
Huh? What’s going on?
The weasel was obviously astounded .
Where did this stupid dog come from?
The dog bit the weasel . With a swoosh and a smash, the weasel suddenly fell onto the rock . Then, it collapsed on the ground .
Then, something even more miraculous happened . The dog leaped up nearly two meters high and climbed straight up the mountain rock . It looked at the eggs in the nest carefully and sniffed them .
The wild chicken bawked anxiously on the mountain rock .
The dog lifted its head and looked at the wild chicken . Then, it jumped down, turned around and stopped in front of the unlucky weasel . It bit the weasel hard . This was a fatal injury . The weasel’s blood was flowing out .
This was an unexpected calamity!
After confirming that the weasel had died, the dog then seemed at ease .
Wang Yao was behind the dog . The more he thought about it, the more shocked he was .
The dog’s body was growing bigger and bigger . It was gradually becoming like a calf . Its body was not just big, but the key thing was, its thoughts were very peculiar . Could he have raised something more than a dog?
So, in the afternoon, Wang Yao brewed a cup of tea and sat in the small courtyard .
“San Xian, come here . ”
The dog came out of its kennel and crouched down beside Wang Yao .
“Let me talk to you…”
Wang Yao rarely activated his “Xuanzang” mode . He did not even care that the big dog beside him was looking up, sticking out its tongue, and grinding its teeth at times .
A fly was buzzing around .
Caw . In the sky, a black shadow hovered for a few turns and descended . It then stood on the branch .
The hawk’s feathers were very glossy . Its head had also gotten slightly bigger . The look in its eyes was as sharp as a blade .
“Look at Hero . It always remembers that it’s a hawk, an overlord in the sky . You’re a dog, not a chicken that hatches eggs,” Wang Yao said earnestly .
There was a rustle again .
It was the tiny snake that Wang Yao rescued . It was already as thick as a baby’s arms .
Its growth rate was also extremely abnormal .
After seeing Wang Yao, the snake moved towards him and circled around him for a few times . Then, it slipped away .
“Tsk, why do they all seem to be becoming a goblin?”
Wang Yao brought up the system panel and found out that the task’s current estimation had changed . It had reached 40 . He still needed 10 more people and he had only five days left .
In a research institute somewhere in Hu City .
“How is it?”
“We took a portion of it for testing . Some of the drug compositions can be determined . We can analyze which medicinal herbs they come from, but there are some which we aren’t able to determine . Where did you get this pill from?”
“It doesn’t matter . Can it be replicated?”
“The composition can’t even be analyzed thoroughly . How can it be possible to replicate it?”
“Give it a try again . The effect of this medicine is incredible . ”
“It is incredible . We’ve analyzed that there are five types of valuable medicinal herbs in it, such as ginseng and glossy ganoderma . The proportion of the herbs must be done very ingeniously . Therefore, its effect will be very impressive as well . ”
Being on the go for thousands of miles, Professor Lu returned home, fatigued .
He was still an aged person . He would still feel a little unwell after a long car ride . He initially wanted to stay with Han Wan in Lianshan County for a few days, but something happened suddenly at home, so he rushed back .
“What’s wrong? You didn’t say anything on the phone . ”
His house was very close to Tongji University in Hu City . His house was decorated in an antique Chinese style . Sitting in the living room, his wife was lost in thought . She seemed to be in her fifties and she took care of herself very well . She was a beautiful woman when she was younger .
“Father went for a physical examination today . There’s a tumor in his brain,” his wife said .
“What?!” Professor Lu was dumbfounded . “Weren’t the results of his physical examination last time good? Is it benign, at least?”
“It’s malignant!”
Upon hearing the word, Professor Lu was nailed to the spot .
The word was equivalent to a death penalty . It was just a matter of how long it could be postponed .
“Does Father know?”
“I haven’t told him . ”
“What did the doctor say?”
“He recommended conservative treatment . Father is old . It’ll be too risky for him to undergo a surgery . ”
“Conservative treatment . ” Professor Lu paced back and forth .
“Oh right, how’s Wan’s illness?”
“There’s some effect . We originally wanted to stay there for a few days, but I rushed back after I received your call . ” Professor Lu sat down and drank a glass of water . “Oh right, where are the records of the examination? Let me have a look . ”
Professor Lu then took a photo of the records .
“Why, do you want to show it to Dr . Wang?” His wife guessed his thoughts upon seeing the situation .
“Yes . I’ll let him have a look . ”
Professor Lu gave Wang Yao a call and explained the situation .
“Okay . Send it to me . I’ll have a look,” Wang Yao who was on the other end of the phone said .
It’s another malignant tumor .
After hanging up, Wang Yao was thinking about this matter as well .
A few of his acquaintances had looked for him recently . They all came for their family members and their illnesses were rare and similar .
Should I focus on this for the following period of time?
In Lianshan County .
Hahaha . Ah!
A hearty and a somewhat crazy laugh was heard from the inside of a residence .
“Sss, what’s going on?”
“It’s Chen, right?”
“Yes, it’s him . Could he have suffered from a mental shock? He and his wife have always been quarrelling lately . I heard that they’re about to get divorced . ”
“Sigh . A shame . I think Chen is a pretty good guy . ”
