“Yeah . Do you know what it is?”
“It should be a sheep’s testicles . ”
“A sheep’s testicles?”
“Yeah . It’s like bezoar, Ma Bao, and the stone of a dog’s gallbladder, kidney or bladder . It’s a kind of stone in a sheep’s body . It can be used as medicine . It’s considered to be a valuable Chinese medicinal herb,” Wang Yao explained .
“Is it very expensive?”
“Yes . It’s extremely rare . You may not even be able to get one even if you kill 10,000 sheep,” Wang Yao replied .
Things like bezoar and the stone of a dog’s gallbladder, kidney or bladder were somewhat common . However, the sheep’s testicle was rarely heard of, so it was very valuable .
“What can a sheep’s testicle do?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“It can remove phlegm to relieve convulsion, clear away pathogenic heat and remove toxins . It can also treat symptoms such as epilepsy, delirium, and poisoning of malignant sores . ”
“Fenghou’s family is going to make a fortune,” Zhang Xiuying said with a smile .
“He better not take it as nothing . If it’s not properly preserved, it’ll become spoilt easily,” Wang Yao responded .
Such a thing that could only be obtained with luck . If it was improperly preserved, it would lose its efficacy and Its value would be greatly reduced .
Mutton was cooked in a large pot . It was aromatic .
“Unfortunately, Sister doesn’t have the luck to taste such delicious food,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“I’m back!”
Crap .
Wang Yao almost threw the bowl in his hands .
“Why did you come back?”
“Why can’t I come back? You’re cooking mutton, right? Why didn’t you call me?” Wang Ru was glaring .
“I asked him not to call you . ” Zhang Xiuying came out of the room . “You’re a girl who’s almost 30 . You should hurry up and get a partner while you’re free . Are you still thinking of coming back to have mutton?”
Zhang Xiuying’s words almost choked Wang Ru to death .
“Mother, I’m your child, right?” Wang Ru asked .
“I got you from the garbage,” Zhang Xiuying replied without being amused .
“Hmph . I won’t look for one . ”
“Ah, the soup is really yummy!” Wang Yao exclaimed .
The taste was indeed delicious .
“You…”
Wang Yao ignored her murderous gaze .
Ever since he officially established his relationship with Tong Wei, his parents seldom brought up the matter of him getting married . On the other hand, his sister was not that young . She also had no actions . It was unclear what she was thinking .
At noon, Wang Ru drank three huge bowls of mutton soup with a ball of rage in her stomach . Then, she returned to her room to sleep .
“Tsk, tsk, tsk . She’s really…” Wang Yao admired his sister .
Could it be that she doesn’t like males?
Wang Yao left his house while shaking his head and went up the hill .
In a hospital in Haiqu .
“Doctor, why don’t you have another detailed look again?”
“You’ve contracted food poisoning . It’s very serious . You have to be hospitalized and receive treatments . ”
The man who vomited and had diarrhea after getting slapped by Wang Yao had gone to the People’s Hospital of Haiqu .
“Doctor, I don’t have food poisoning . ”
“If it’s not food poisoning, then what’s going on?” the doctor asked .
“I became like this after being slapped by someone,” the man answered .
“Are you a doctor or am I a doctor? Since you don’t believe me, why do you still see a doctor?” The doctor was angry .
“Okay, okay, okay . I’ll listen to you . I’ll get hospitalized to receive treatments . ” Having no choice, he finally chose to be hospitalized . What if it could be cured?
The same thing was happening in another department of the People’s Hospital of Haiqu .
The two men’s private parts had been stiff for nearly a day . There was no sign of it weakening . This did not make them happy at all . They were getting more and more afraid .
“What medicine did you take?” the doctor asked .
Why was it always the same question?
“Doctor, I can tell you clearly that I didn’t take any medicine . I haven’t taken any medicine in the last month . ”
“Yes, doctor . Me too . No, that’s not right . I caught a cold a week ago . I’ve taken a cold medicine, but the cold medicine has no such effect . ”
The doctor was speechless .
“I’ll prescribe you some medicine to try . ”
To be honest, he hadn’t really ever encountered this situation . When he was studying in Hu, he once met a dandy who had such a condition due to overdose . His condition had not been as severe as these two men . It was still stiff after a day . If the muscles were in a contracted state for too long, there would be a problem .
This was a special medical case, so the specialist remembered clearly about the medicine he prescribed . The medicine had to be injected at the vital part .
After the medicine was injected, they felt the pain .
It hurts!
That part seemed to have become a skewer being grilled over the flame . Who could endure it?
“What’s going on?”
“Damn . Did we meet another quack?” one of the men asked his friend .
There was no effect . Instead, it became more severe .
The doctor was stunned .
“Sorry . I didn’t expect it to be like this,” the doctor said .
“What?” The two men were dumbfounded .
“Wait a second . ” The doctor’s eyes lit up . “There’s another way . ”
“What way?”
“Phlebotomy!”
There was a shriek .
Phlebotomy was indeed effective, and the result was instant . However, after a short while, there were signs of it raising .
What’s going on?
The doctor was startled . He had no idea anymore .
“You can consider having a checkup at the hospital in the province . ”
“Go to the province?” The two men were dumbstruck .
They regretted what they had done to death . Why did they do such a thing that night? In the end, it was not successfully completed and resulted in a serious problem .
“Provincial? We’ll go to the provincial town then . ”
Since it related to their own bodies, and even their lives and deaths, they did not delay and immediately went to the provincial town from Haiqu .
“Your massaging techniques are not bad . My swelling is gone . ” Wang Ru chatted with Wang Yao while cracking the melon seeds with her front teeth .
“You shouldn’t be thinking about your swelling . You should be thinking about the problem of my brother-in-law . ” Wang Yao was good at blurting out her weakness .
“Are you looking for trouble?” she asked .
“Sister, I’ll ask you something . Don’t jump,” Wang Yao said carefully .
“What? Say it . ”
“Umm, do you like females?”
“What?” Wang Ru was stunned . “Do you think I’m a lesbian?”
“Yes . ” Wang Yao nodded his head seriously .
“I’m not . My sexual orientation is very normal . I like men,” she stated .
“Find one then,” her brother said .
“There’s not one suitable,” Wang Ru said while gritting her teeth .
“Did you say the same thing to Mother and Father?” Wang Yao asked .
“Almost!”
Wang Ru immediately picked up a pair of scissors on the table .
“What are you doing?”
“If you dare to gossip again, I’ll cut it for you!” Wang Ru shouted fiercely .
“Okay . Let’s not talk about this . Are the wounds on your body healed?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . ”
“What about your colleague?”
“She’s in the hospital . I reckon she has to stay there for a few days . ”
The siblings resumed their normal conversation .
In the afternoon, Wang Yao was preparing to go out when he saw his mother coming back .
“You’re right . The sheep’s testicles are very valuable!”
“Someone bought it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, for 5,000 yuan,” his mother replied .
“5,000?” Wang Yao was startled .
“What’s wrong?” she asked .
“He sold it?”
“No,” Zhang Xiuying responded .
“Oh . The price is probably a bit low,” Wang Yao replied with a smile .
He had seen a lot of it on the internet . An ox’s testicles could be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions . Of course, the size and weight of the ox’s testicles were definitely larger than that of a sheep’s testicles .
He received a call from Wang Mingbao when he was on his way to the medical center .
“Treat someone? Who?”
Wang Mingbao asked him to help save a person . It sounded urgent .
“It’s in Shangjun, where I told you about . It’s a child,” Wang Mingbao replied over the phone .
“What illness does he have?”
“I don’t know . They haven’t found out the cause . They don’t have the money to let him receive treatments anymore . ”
“Where are you now?”
“I’m on the way to Shangjun,” Wang Mingbao replied .
“Okay . Bring him here . ” Wang Yao did not know what was wrong with his friend . Wang Mingbao suddenly had such a strong sense of justice and vocation . It was a good thing, so Wang Yao would support it .
In the afternoon, Wang Yao cleaned up the medical center and picked a few bunches of grapes . It was already late autumn, but the grapes were still growing non-stop .
