An article suddenly appeared on the internet . It described the spread of a horrible contagious disease somewhere in Qinzhou . People had died because of the disease .

The local government in Qinzhou province and Bingzhou had tried their best to control the spread of the disease . They strictly forbid anyone involved to release any information related to the disease to media . However, the news still went online, upsetting the local government .
“Who told the media about it?” The senior officer of the local government was furious .
The news wouldn’t be kept secret forever . Nowadays, news could travel rapidly through internet . However, due to lack of supervision, a lot of news being circulated on the internet was incorrect or partially incorrect . Eventually, that news became rumors, which could be completely different from the truth . Therefore, adequate supervision and guidance were necessary .
Although Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao were stuck in the village, they were informed of what was happening outside . They had smartphones that could access Wi-Fi .
“Hey, the world outside is really colorful!” Wang Mingbao sounded like he was eager to see the world in disorder .
“I found you’ve changed so much after you’ve fallen in love,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” Wang Mingbao asked . “Hey, that Dr . Long, the one looking like an iron can, said he had created a medication to treat the disease . Maybe the medication is based on the formula you gave him . ”
Wang Yao squinted his eyes . “That’s possible . ”
“I’ve seen shameless people, but not as shameless as him . At his age, even if he doesn’t look after himself, he should look after his offspring,” Wang Mingbao said .
“What do you mean?” Wang Yao asked .
“You know, he’s done so many immoral things, do you think he’s gonna have a son without an asshole?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“His son has probably grown up,” Wang Yao replied .
“Oh, but it’s possible he has a bastard son . And, don’t forget, he could have grandchildren,” Wang Mingbao said with a grin .
“You think too much of useless stuff,” Wang Yao said .
He took a stool and went to the courtyard .
“What can you find in the sky?” Wang Mingbao continued to watch his smartphone while lying on bed . “Look at him! Such a hypocrite!”
He was looking at a video of Dr . Long inside . Dr . Long was making a presentation related to the contagious disease in the village in front of a group of journalists . He looked very serious .
“He looks like a decent person, but he has done indecent stuff . Maybe the bad guys just get old,” Wang Mingbao said .

“It is going to rain,” Wang Yao said softly as he was looking at the sky .
“Going to rain?” Wang Mingbao happened to hear what Wang Yao said as he walked out of the house with a stool .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“That’s good, then I can have a nap,” Wang Mingbao said . .
“You’re not going to meet Han Jia?” Wang Yao asked .
“I’ll see about a nap after meeting her,” Wang Mingbao said .
Wang Yao thought Wang Mingbao had changed . Wang Mingbao only cared about his career before he met Han Jia . Now, it seemed like he only cared about Han Jia .
“That’s good,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“Of course, the rain will surely come,” Wang Mingbao said .
They didn’t realize they were talking about two different things .
“Do you think more people die from the disease?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Yeah, even cold water could kill someone . This disease is highly risky,” Wang Yao said seriously .
“How come you didn’t make a big effort to treat them?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Why? Why do you think I didn’t make a great effort?” Wang Yao asked .
“You just checked their pulses and brew the decoction . Then, they just recovered . It looked easy,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Are you serious?” Wang Yao asked .
“It looked quite easy to me,” Wang Mingbao replied .
Wang Yao suddenly became speechless . This knowledge was provided by the system and accumulated through treating patients . He could cure so many patients with weird medical conditions because he had the licorice roots . But, it seemed that what Wang Mingbao said made some sense .

Wang Yao didn’t discuss further with Wang Mingbao about how easy it appeared for him to treat his parents . At the moment, he only cared about when the disease would stop spreading . He wanted to know whether the water grass and leaves he sent out would work . It would be difficult to extract the effective part from those leaves during a short period of time . It would take a long time to take the essence out of the water grass and leaves even with the most advanced technology . Technicians from Western countries tried to study herbal formulas and extract the effective part from herbs . However, they all failed .
What was Chinese Traditional Medicine? It was the balance of Yin and Yang . It was the generation of five elements . It was the interaction of meridians and acupuncture points . People from Western countries couldn’t understand these concepts . Chinese Traditional Medicine appeared thousands of years earlier than Western or modern medicine . However, no progress was made for hundreds of years . Then, it started to decline .
Maybe they can try to cultivate a large amount of water grass during short period of time, Wang Yao thought .
Actually, the water grasses grew very rapidly . Although they were not like chives, which would grow back after being collected, they were pretty much like the chives .
“We should go back,” Wang Yao said out of blue .
The contagious disease had escalated and was an absolute mess . He didn’t think he would be very helpful if he continued to stay in the village . The people holding high position in the government would take care of the mess . However, he didn’t know what the small village’s destiny would be .
“They will be fine?” Wang Mingbao asked .
Something unexpected happened .
“Dr . Wang, my wife is about to give birth!” A villager came to see Wang Yao in the morning .
“What?” Wang Yao was surprised .
“Your wife is about to give birth?” Wang Yao’s voice was a bit shaking .
“Yes, can you take a look at her?” the villager asked .
“You know how to deliver a baby?” Wang Mingbao asked with surprise .
Wang Yao did have some knowledge about how to deliver a baby . After all, the system had given him systematic and various medical knowledge .
“Not really . ” Wang Yao shook his head .
Knowing how to deliver a baby and being able to deliver a baby were two totally different things .
“Oh, well, I thought you knew,” Wang Mingbao said . “What can they do then?”
“They should go to the hospital immediately,” Wang Yao said .

“But, we are not allowed to leave the village!” The villager started to cry .
“What?” Wang Yao squinted his eyes as a gust of wind blew . “What the hell?”
Wang Yao was angry . He took a deep breath . It was useless to be angry about it . He needed to figure something out .
“Let me think about it,” Wang Yao said . Then, he called Chen Jingzhi .
“What? A pregnant woman?” Chen Jingzhi asked .
“Yes, she’s due to have the baby . The armed police force and local policemen won’t let her out of the village . I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been infected,” Wang Yao said .
“I see . Leave it to me,” Chen Jingzhi said .
“Okay, this is urgent,” Wang Yao said .
“I see . ” Chen Jingzhi frowned after he had hung up the phone .
He had come across situations like this before . The last time a contagious disease was spreading, a lot of things had been buried without the public’s knowledge .
“What about my wife?” The villager brought Wang Yao back to his house .
Wang Yao took a look at the villager’s wife .
“I think she is about to give birth,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh, what can I do about it?” The villager was sweating and walking back and forth in the room .
If he couldn’t get permission to take his wife to the hospital, his wife would have to give birth in the village . Nowadays, nobody gave birth at home . Even if she was happy to give birth at home, no one in the village could deliver the baby . She could potentially die from childbirth .
The villager was hopeless . He went out to bow to the sky and bang his head to the ground .
Bang! Bang!
“Shit! This is unbelievable!” Wang Mingbao cursed .
Wang Yao sat next to the bed . His fingers were still on the villager’s wife’s pulse . This was not her first pregnancy . She was nearly 40 years old . This was already a high-risk pregnancy given her age . Her current situation was not optimal .
“She’s going to give birth very soon,” Wang Yao said .
His prediction was pretty accurate . He was waiting for a response from Chen Zhijing . Wang Yao didn’t stand up . He took out a white porcelain bottle out of his pocket . He then took a small pill out of the bottle .
“Give it to her,” Wang Yao said .
“Okay,” the villager said . He took the pill over to his wife and had her take it .
The pill was a Nine grass pill made by Wang Yao . It was very powerful .
“I hope it will work,” Wang Yao said .
In fact, it worked . The villager’s wife, who had been experiencing contraction pain, had a warm feeling in her belly . The contraction pain seemed to be more bearable .
The pill was so effective, she thought .
“What is this pill?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Nine grass pill,” Wang Yao said .
“To protect the baby?” Wang Mingbao asked .
Wang Yao took a deep breath, and said, “No!”
“Then, why did you give it to her?” Wang Mingbao asked .
Wang Yao stared at Wang Mingbao for a while .
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“I doubt you are not the real Wang Mingbao,” Wang Yao joked .
“What are you talking about?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“The Wang Mingbao I know has never been so talkative,” Wang Yao said .
“Talkative? I’m not!” Wang Mingbao said with confusion .
