“I think she should be fine for now . Let’s get out of here so that she can have a rest,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you! Thank you, Dr . Wang . ” The villager was really appreciative .
“You are welcome . Don’t give her anything to stimulate the contraction . Let her lay down for a while,” Wang Yao said .
The villager agreed and went into the room to see his wife .
“Darling, how are you feeling?” he asked .
“I’m fine . The contraction pain is much better . I have a warm and nice feeling in my belly now . Don’t worry about me . Go and keep Dr . Wang company,” his wife said .
“Okay, you have a good rest . Let me know if you need me,” the man said .
Wang Mingbao lit a cigarette in the courtyard . “Is she gonna be alright?”
“For now, yes, but I’m not sure how long the effect of the pill will last,” Wang Yao said .
Regardless, she was going to give birth . To be honest, Wang Yao didn’t expect his Nine grass pill could protect the baby . He was a bit surprised . Maybe the Nine grass pill was like Regather soup, which could be used for almost all kinds of medical conditions .
“Dr . Wang, thank you very much for helping my wife . You work so hard; please have a cup of tea . ” The villager carried a teapot and two teacups out of the house . He served each of them a cup of tea .
The tea looked muddy and yellow . It tasted bitter .
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
The villager breathed a big sigh of relief . He knew the biggest problem hadn’t been solved . His wife would give birth sooner or later . She was just stable for now . He was still worried but didn’t know what to do . The armed police force and local policemen were outside . He couldn’t get by them . But, there was no midwife in the village to deliver the baby . What bad luck he had! He felt helpless and angry .
“It should be on its way here,” Wang Yao said softly .
“What are you talking about?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“The ambulance,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“They are not gonna come,” Wang Mingbao said . He looked a bit sad while saying it .
The trip to this village made him see things he had never seen before . He had seen true love between people or the cold aspect of this world .
Wang Yao also felt powerless and helpless . As expected, he couldn’t do anything he wanted to do . He was not omnipotent . There were always things he couldn’t solve .
“I feel tired,” Wang Yao said suddenly .
“Go and take a nap,” Wang Mingbao said .
“I want to wait here for another while,” Wang Yao said .
An ambulance came to the village one and half an hour later .
“What? Picking up a patient? Are you sure?” The head person of the armed police force was surprised .
A moment later, he received a phone call from his superior, which made him more surprised and confused .
“So, you are gonna transfer the pregnant woman out of the village? What if she is infected?” the policeman in charge asked .
“What? The ambulance is here?” The pregnant woman’s husband was thrilled . He was almost in tears as he got the news .
“The ambulance really came?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Good, I can take a break now,” Wang Yao said as he went back inside the house .
He didn’t know what Chen Jingzhi had done to make this happen . As a medical person, saving people was supposed to be his job, but things had changed so much .
Wang Yao went inside the house to lay on the bed .
“Are you really gonna take a nap now?” Wang Mingbao asked .
Wang Yao wouldn’t feel tired even if he hadn’t slept in days . For no reason, he felt tired not both mentally and physically . He couldn’t fall asleep while lying on the bed . A lot of things were going on in his mind . He thought about the water grass, kids in the village, the dying old man, and the pregnant woman who had been taken by the ambulance . The people were like slides showing in Wang Yao’s mind .
That’s too much! Sleep!
Wang Yao finally fell into sleep .
“Hey, you really fell into a deep sleep!” Wang Mingbao found Wang Yao sleeping while entering the room . “It’s good you are resting . Well, I should go and find Miss Han . ”
In Jia county .
Chen Jingzhi was talking to the two people coming with him .
“Professor Chen, why did you have to save this person?” one of them asked .
The two people didn’t quite understand why Chen Jingzhi had to bring the pregnant woman out of the village .
They came here to solve the issue . They had to work together with the local medical department and hospital . They tried not to interfere with the work of the local medical department, let alone causing any trouble . Chen Jingzhi made things difficult for the local medical department . It appeared to be easy to bring a pregnant woman out of the area where the contagious disease started . However, it was actually quite risky to do so .
Chen Jingzhi didn’t respond . He just looked through the window quietly . He had received a call in the morning, an unexpected call from someone who only said one sentence .
“Try your best to satisfy whatever Wang Yao requires,” the person on the other end of the phone said .
The person wanted Chen Jingzhi to try his very best . It really surprised Chen Jingzhi .
He heard that the young doctor cured an important person in Beijing . It appeared that the rumor was true . Wang Yao was a distinguished guest of that prestigious family in Beijing . Since the person holding a high position in Beijing had given the instruction, Chen Jingzhi was sure to try his best . However, it was not an easy task to do .
People from the local medical department treated him with respect and complied with his demands, but they wouldn’t take his words seriously if his requests were related to certain principals . They wouldn’t follow his instructions if he risked anyone’s career in the local medical department . They simply didn’t want to get involved .
Even if Chen Jingzhi’s request was related to a person’s life, they wouldn’t do anything about it as long as it was not a life-threatening situation to them . Thinking about this, Chen Jingzhi sighed . He couldn’t do anything more .
Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao went to check the two sheep in the late afternoon . The sun had almost gone .
“The two sheep seem to have lost weight,” Wang Mingbao said .
“You are right . They are so thin,” Wang Yao said .
“Hey, eat more . Don’t wait until it’s too late,” Wang Mingbao told the two sheep .
Bar!
I should give up all those unrealistic thoughts, Wang Yao thought .
He was still observing the two sheep . He needed to make sure the herbs worked and determined the dose .
“I need to go into the well,” Wang Yao said .
“Why?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Because of the water grass,” Wang Yao said .
“What are you going to do with the water grass?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“I want to contribute something to the village,” Wang Yao said .
He suddenly thought of something . Then, he jumped into the well, which had been blocked . After a while, he came out without any water on his clothes . Wang Mingbao was not so surprised this time . Wang Yao put the water grass he took in a big water tank .
“My brain hasn’t been functioning properly,” Wang Yao murmured .
“What?” Wang Mingbao asked with surprise . “What do you mean?”
“Why did I just think of it?” Wang Yao asked himself .
He moved the water tank .
Wait! Do my eyes have a problem?
Wang Mingbao rubbed his eyes hard . He was pretty sure there was not much water left in the tank . How come the tank was filled with water a second later? Wang Mingbao started to doubt his memory . Or, it’s something else, he thought .
Wallwalla! The water came out of the tank . What came out of the tank was not normal water . It was the ancient spring water . Wang Yao was going to nurture the water grass with ancient spring water .
“What are you doing?” Wang Mingbao asked .
“Trying to make the water grass grow fast,” Wang Yao said .
“I think you should have another nap,” Wang Mingbao said with confusion .
“I’m fine . I feel perfectly fine now . Don’t worry about me,” Wang Yao said .
He should have thought about this method earlier . Fortunately, it was not too late . Sometimes, certain things and methods were just so obvious, yet people still couldn’t see them .
Wang Mingbao didn’t stop Wang Yao . He just looked at the tank filled with water .
“The tank was almost empty,” Wang Mingbao said .
“What?” Wang Yao asked, feeling dazed for a second .
“Yeah, I believe it was empty,” Wang Mingbao said . “How come it suddenly was filled with water?”
“You wanna know?” Wang Yao asked .
“Of course, I really want to know,” Wang Mingbao said .
Wang Yao took the tank and shook it in front of Wang Mingbao . Then, he brought the tank closer to him before showing it to Wang Mingbao . Suddenly, the empty tank was filled with water by half .
“Is this really water?” Wang Mingbao took some water to taste . The water tasted sweet .
“Oh my god! What is this?” Wang Mingbao was dazed again .
“Have you seen magic called making a living human being appear out of nowhere? I just made water appear out of nowhere,” Wang Yao said .
“This is amazing,” Wang Mingbao said after a while .
Wang Yao laughed . It would only take one day to double or triple the amount of water grass . He could use the water grass to make soup for the villagers to take . The soup could be considered some sort of vaccine .
As expected, the water grass had grown a lot overnight .
Good! It worked .
He started to boil water in a big pot . He then put water grass into the pot .
“So, you want me to give this to everyone in the village to drink?” The secretary was confused .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“What can it do?” the secretary asked .
“It will prevent the disease from spreading and treat the disease,” Wang Yao said .
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away,” the secretary said . Since Wang Yao had given the instruction, the secretary took action right away . For all the villagers, nothing right now was worse than the disease .
