She really liked the naïve and simple children . She liked to spend time together with the rustic folks . She already felt like place was her second home . She was reluctant to leave .

“Don’t worry . Everything will be okay,” Wang Mingbao said .
Wang Mingbao knew that Wang Yao had cured the illnesses of several people . He had also gone to Jing to treat the dignitaries there . His pharmaceutical technology was quite marvelous .
“That’s good then,” she said .
Wang Yao felt that his trip here was worthwhile after watching the innocent children and their pure smiles and listening to their cheerful laughter .
Huh? He looked at the clothes most of them wore . Their clothes seem to be a bit shabby .
In the evening, Wang Mingbao was humming a song . He was in a good mood .
“Did you get one step closer?” Wang Yao asked .
“No,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Then, why are you happy?” Wang Yao asked .
“Her boyfriend hasn’t called her for a week,” Wang Mingbao replied with a smile .
“Holy crap . She even told you about that?” Wang Yao was surprised .
“Yes!”
“Haha . There’s hope for you,” Wang Yao responded . He suddenly remembered that he had not contacted Tong Wei for days . He would call her later .
“Oh right, how are those children recovering?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“I looked at them today . They’re recovering quite well . You care about them quite a lot,” Wang Yao said .
“That’s mainly because Han Jia asked about it,” Wang Mingbao replied .
Rain was rare in the area of Lishui . It rained that night . The rain pattered .
They had been here for two days . Wang Yao looked at the gloomy sky outside .
“Eh?” he suddenly exclaimed .
It’s so strange . Why didn’t I notice it yesterday? He suddenly discovered that the sky here was a bit weird .
After that, he went into the yard and released his Qi to communicate with the heaven and earth . Sure enough, the Qi in between the heaven and earth here was richer . Of course, it was beyond comparable to the Qi on Nanshan Hill . What was the cause?
“Why didn’t you take an umbrella with you?” Wang Mingbao came out of the house with an umbrella .
“It’s okay,” Wang Yao said .

After entering the house, he realized there was not a single raindrop on Wang Yao’s body .
Surprised, Wang Mingbao asked, “What’s going on?”
“Qi,” Wang Yao stated .
“Qi?”
“Yes . ”
Wang Yao simply waved his hand . A gust of wind blew . The windows were squeaking .
“Qigong?” This time, Wang Mingbao vaguely understood a little .
“Kind of . ”
“You must teach me,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Haha . No problem . It’ll depend on your luck whether you learn it or not,” Wang Yao replied .
The things in The Natural Classics were too esoteric . There were restrictions that it could not be circulated, but he could simplify it appropriately .
It rained for a while after midnight . The sky was clear by early morning .
“I’ll go out and have a look . ” After breakfast, Wang Yao went out alone . Wang Mingbao continued to go to school to look for his pretty woman .
Wang Yao directly up the hill behind the village along the road . There were not many trees on the hill . Most of the land was excavated into farmlands . A while later, Wang Yao arrived at the highest point of the hill . Standing on the peak, he could clearly see the overall image of the mountain village .
The village was built according to the hill structures . It was slightly higher on the east and west and slightly lower in the middle . Wang Yao walked around on the hill and he did not discover anything strange .
This is weird!
After going down the hill, he was stopped by Gong Ziqiang’s father on the road .
“Dr . Wang, Headmaster Gong is looking for you,” he said .
“Okay . I’ll go over now,” Wang Yao said .
Headmaster Gong hurriedly came not long after he left . He looked anxious .
“Headmaster Gong, are you looking for me?” Wang Yao asked .
“Hey, Dr . Wang . A family in the village is poisoned,” the headmaster said . “They’re now being rescued at home . I’ve already dialed the emergency phone in the county, but I reckon they won’t be able to arrive anytime soon . Can you go over and have a look?”
“Okay . I’ll go over right now,” Wang Yao said .

When Wang Yao arrived, many people were standing in the family’s yard . Some were looking around . Some were eating peanuts . Some were cracking melon seeds . People who did not know would think they were here to watch an opera .
“Make way please!” Headmaster Gong shouted . The people standing in the yard immediately gave way .
They entered the room . It was a family of three . Two adults and a child of around 8 years old were all lying on the kang . They were writhing with pain .
Wang Yao immediately gave them a diagnosis . They were severely poisoned . Fortunately, the duration was shorter .
“Help them get up,” he shouted, but no one came forward .
“What are you doing? Help them up!” Headmaster Gong yelled . Several people immediately went forward to help the family of three up .
Wang Yao rubbed their stomachs one by one . Blech . Soon, they began to vomit one by one . They puked out all the things that they ate in the morning . There was a sour smell and streaks of blood .
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know . We were still okay when we woke up in the morning . ”
“Look at this mess!”
People were chattering outside . Gossiping was a universal thing .
“Headmaster Gong, is there a leftover of the soup I decocted last time?” Wang Yao asked .
“There’s a bit left,” the headmaster said .
The headmaster had been careful . Seeing the students all having serious diarrheas after drinking the medicinal soup Wang Yao decocted, he was afraid it would be toxic to the children . Therefore, he did not let the children drink it according to the amount Wang Yao mentioned . Instead, he appropriately reduced the amount and frequency .
“Bring it here,” Wang Yao said .
Although most of the things were puked out, the toxins had already caused damage to their bodies . They could not be expelled in a short period of time . Therefore, the pain would last for quite some time .
“Why are they poisoned?”
“I saw that the man of the family went to fetch some water and drank it . ”
“Is the water from that well?” Wang Yao hurriedly asked .
“Yes . ”
“Didn’t I say that they’re not allowed to drink it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Perhaps they thought that it was okay . ”
“His life isn’t in danger for the time being, but he needs further treatment,” Wang Yao said .

Wang Yao got up and went to the kitchen . The water they had fetched in the morning was still in the bucket . It looked clear . He scooped a little and put it in his mouth .
Blech! How could it change so drastically? His face turned pale .
After drinking the water, he clearly felt that his tongue was numb . This was a powerful stimulus . It was not like this the day before . The concentration of the toxins had increased several times in just one day . What was going on?
“Oh no! Something’s wrong with Aiguo’s family too!” An unknown person shouted from the outside .
Then, the gazes of the people in the house fell on Wang Yao .
“Dr . Wang, what do you think?”
“Let’s go have a look,” Wang Yao replied without hesitating .
It was still a family, but there was only a couple . They had the same condition . Wang Yao used the same method to induce vomiting . Their vomit was the same . It contained blood . Wang Yao discovered the clear well water in their kitchen .
“This water definitely can’t be drunk anymore!” he firmly stated .
Once was a coincidence, but two families were now affected . Furthermore, it looked terrible . This time, some of the villagers somewhat believed it . After all, they saw it with their own eyes . Even if they did not believe it, they did not drink the water from the well anymore .
“Block the well!” the party secretary of the county ordered .
Headmaster Gong was panting when he brought back the medicinal soup . He was trotting all the way . After all, he was old .
“Here you go, Dr . Wang,” he said .
There is quite a lot left! Wang Yao did not think much and divided the antidote herb into a few portions . He then let the poisoned people drink it .
After a series of sufferings, their lives were finally saved .
Woo . The ambulance arrived late outside . It was relatively far from the county town to the mountain village .
“Five people?” The doctor was dumbfounded upon seeing that many people .
At last, without a choice, the patients and two of their family members were squeezed in . The rest of the family members went directly to the county town in motorcycles .
Before leaving, Wang Yao exhorted the doctor who came with the ambulance . The doctor gave a strange look, as if to say, Who are you? Why are you so capable?
“I’m a doctor too . ” Wang Yao took out his medical qualification certificate .
“Oh!” the person responded . It was considered a reply .
Wang Yao helplessly sighed .
“How could this be?” After hearing the news, Wang Mingbao, who came back from the school, was immediately stunned .
“They completely disregarded what I said,” Wang Yao replied helplessly .
He could understand it . After all, he was a young man who came from a foreign place . It was a bit difficult to make all the villagers believe his words when he had just arrived . However, this matter really did not make sense . These people clearly did not take their lives seriously . The key thing still remained: why did the toxins in the well water suddenly increase?
“I’ll go take a look at the other well . ” Wang Yao was worried there might be a problem with that one too .
In the end, the water fetched from that well did not have any problem . Could it be that there’s something in the well?
When Wang Yao arrived at the well, he saw a few villagers carrying things and preparing to block the well .
“Wait a second . ” Wang Yao went to the side of the well and looked inside . The well water was relatively clear . The bottom of the well could be seen vaguely .
“Find me a rope . I’ll go down and have a look,” he said after thinking for a while .
“What? You’re going down? Isn’t the water poisonous?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“It’s okay . I’m not scared,” Wang Yao said .
“I think you better not go down . ” Wang Mingbao was worried about his safety .
“It’s okay,” Wang Yao said .
A rope was found and tied to Wang Yao’s waist . A few people were pulling on the wellhead .
“Pull tight!” Wang Mingbao yelled .
The perimeter of the wellhead was covered with moss because the water was fetched all year long . It was very slippery . However, Wang Yao was not an ordinary person . He reached out . With a snap, his palms pierced the rock .
He slowly approached the surface of the water in the well . The water was very clear . There was a burst of coolness . He could clearly see the bottom of the well water here . There was nothing unusual .
This is weird!
“Pull me up . ”
A few people dragged him up .
“How is it?”
“I didn’t discover anything unusual,” Wang Yao replied .
“That’s strange . Hey, how’s it going in Shangjun?”
“I called just now . I’m still waiting for the results . ”
