Chapter 531: 531
The name of the medical book was Ten Wicked Diseases . Wang Yao took a close look at the antique book . The material was neither paper nor gold . It was the same as the books previously given by the system .

He browsed through a few pages and was immediately in love with the book . He stayed overnight to read the book . What a wonderful book!
The content was different from Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, with minimal similarity .
The Ten in the name of the book actually meant to be extreme . Ten wicked diseases actually meant extremely wicked diseases, such as trauma, intoxication, and ulcer . All the cases documented in the book were very hard to treat . If Wang Yao had obtained this book earlier, it would have been easier to treat those 10 patients .
The book contained medical cases and treatment methods including herbal prescriptions . Each case was different . However, the description of symptoms was in great detail .
Is it dawn yet? Wang Yao looked through the window and found it was already early in the morning .
What about the formula? What is this? Connection ointment!
As soon as Wang Yao saw the name of the ointment, he thought about the famous Black Jade Connection Ointment in a well-known Kung Fu novel .
The ointment could stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, connect broken bones, and fix the damaged muscles and tendons .
It was not hard to get the meaning of stop bleeding and reducing inflammation . Connecting broken bones and fixing damaged muscles and tendons was really significant . Of course, it didn’t mean that it would help one regrow an amputation .
The formula contained Panax notoginseng, Draconis Sanguis, hyssop, Wuteng, Bajiaotong, Guiyuan and Feilaifeng .
There were four licorice roots in the formula . Wang Yao had three of them in his herbal field . Feilaifeng was a new licorice root . He opened the system’s medicine shop but didn’t find this licorice root available .
“System, what can I do to obtain Feilaifeng?” Wang Yao asked .
“Upgrade,” replied the system .
One single word . The system hadn’t changed .
It was a nice and sunny morning . Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill early to fetch something from home . He loaded the trunk of his car with stuff and then drove to Lianshan town center .
He visited his aunt, uncle, and a few friends . He then drove to Haiqu to visit Wei Hai and Secretary Yang’s mother .
Secretary Yang’s mother was very glad to see Wang Yao . She obviously didn’t expect Wang Yao would visit her . She chatted with him for quite a while .

“You look fitter and fitter,” Wang Yao said .
“Thanks to you,” she said with a smile . “Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Yeah,” Wang Yao replied .
“You must let me know when you are married,” Secretary Yang’s mother said .
“Sure,” Wang Yao said .
It was already getting dark by the time Wang Yao returned from Haiqu . Since it was getting closer to the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere of celebration was getting stronger .
Zhang Xiuying was busy with chores . Wang Yao helped his mother . He rarely went to the clinic .
Sun Yunsheng came to the village on the 27th of the first month of the lunar calendar to deliver a report on the soil sample to Wang Yao .
“Sorry, the person I asked to do the job for me had something urgent to do, so the report was delayed,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“That’s alright . Thank you for bringing it all the way to me,” Wang Yao said .
He invited Sun Yunsheng to have lunch at his home .
Wang Yao read through the report . This laboratory did a thorough analysis . Something in the report raised his attention . This laboratory detected a horrible virus in the soil that could damage the surrounding plants badly and spread .
Microorganism? No one in the laboratory had seen this microorganism . The virus was horrible because it was unknown to people . It could cause serious problems if it spread Wang Yao needed to figure out a way to destroy the virus .
On the 28th, Wang Ru returned home . It was Chinese New Year’s eve .
Firecrackers were everywhere in the village . Wang Yao and his family made dumplings for dinner . They then watched CCTV’s new year’s gala together . Everyone was happy .
Another year had passed . Everyone was one year older .
Wang Yao didn’t return to Nanshan Hill . He stayed at home watching New Year’s gala on TV with his family . The show seemed to get worse year by year, but people still watched it habitually .

In Beijing, people were as busy as usual . Su Xiaoxue was having dinner with her family .
“Xiaoxue, do you have a wish list for the new year?” Su Xianghua asked .
“Yes, I want to go out more to learn things,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“What do you want to lean?” Su Xianghua asked with a smile .
“That’s my secret . I can’t tell you now,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Fair enough,” Su Xianghua said .
In a cottage not from Su Xiaoxue’s house, Chen Ying and her brother were celebrating the new year . She thought it was the happiest day of the year because she spent the day with her brother . She had cooked a banquet .
“Sis, you don’t need to cook so much food . it’s too tiring,” Chen Zhou said as he was helping his sister .
“I’m very happy,” Chen Ying said .
It was a happy thing to spend the most important day with the most important person in her life . It was a peaceful and cozy evening .
Wang Yao received a lot of phone calls from his old schoolmates, friends, and some patients who knew his contact number . They gave him their best wishes .
“Happy New Year!”
People were greeting one another . They said these three words all the time .
The next morning, the villagers visited one another to send their best wishes . Some villagers were ready to go on holiday .
Wang Yao spent the day with his family . He only visited his relatives .
Du Mingyang came in the morning to pick up Wang Ru .
Wang Yao carried a big pack of food onto Nanshan Hill .

“San Xian, Da Xia, happy new year! And you, Xiaohei, come here . I brought you guys a lot of nice food,” Wang Yao said .
He had brought a large amount of different meats .
“Take your time, and don’t rush . ” Wang Yao patted the dog and eagle with a smile .
“Happy new year,” Wang Yao said to the well-grown herbs in the field .
The herbs seemed to understand what Wang Yao said and started to swing .
“Hha!”
Most people visited their relatives on the first day of Chinese New Year . On the second day, according to local custom, the villagers needed to worship their ancestors buried in the cemetery .
Both of Wang Yao’s uncles came in the morning . They went to worship their ancestors all together . They set off the firecrackers and burned paper money . The sound of firecrackers were everywhere nearby .
Wang Yao’s uncles stayed at Wang Yao’s house for lunch . They drank a lot . His youngest uncle complained about his life, as usual . The other uncle bluffed about what he had been doing .
It was no wonder there was an old saying that every single one of the dragon’s nine sons were different . None of Wang Yao’s uncles were as nice and honest as his father .
Both uncles got a bit drunk after lunch . They went home by bicycle .
One of them had quit his job and started his own business . However, he failed . He was even in a worse situation than when he was employed . The other one just didn’t cherish the opportunity to hold a good position in a good company .
Wang Yao was speechless about his uncles . His father was very concerned for them . However, everyone had their own life . Wang Yao and his father had done their best to help the uncles .
People went to see their parents on the third day of Chinese New Year .
Wang Yao was not married . Normally, they all went to his grandparent’s house on the third day of Chinese New Year . However, it was different this year . They didn’t go anywhere . Instead, they waited for Du Mingyang to come .
“Are you available tomorrow?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Let’s go and visit your grandparents tomorrow,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“OK,” Wang Yao replied .
From the first day to the fifth day of Chinese New Year, Wang Yao spent most of his time visiting relatives, eating, and chatting with various people .
Most companies and organizations chose to start operating on the sixth or eighth day of Chinese New Year because six and eight were lucky numbers in China .
Wang Yao returned to his clinic on the sixth day . He didn’t burn any money paper or set off firecrackers . He simply unlocked the door of the clinic .
He didn’t have any patient during the day . Most people wouldn’t go to see a doctor before the 15th day of Chinese New Year unless their condition required immediate attention . Wang Yao didn’t think it was a good idea to delay treatment .
Chinese New Year had just passed . For some people, worry never went away .
For example, Wu Tongxing and his brother asked the family doctor to take a look at their father every day, although their father was not keen to see a doctor during Chinese New Year .
After Chinese New Year, Wu Tongxing and his brother wanted to invite Wang Yao to see their father again .
“I’ll go to Lianshan as soon as possible,” Wu Tongxing said .
“You’ll be very busy at the beginning of the year and need to contact Dr . Wang regularly,” Wu Tongrong said . “Maybe you could hire a reliable person to keep in touch with Dr . Wang on your behalf, like they did for Su Xiaoxue . ”
“Hmm, good idea . I’ll find a reliable person,” Wu Tongxing said .
Wang Yao received more good news after Chinese New Year . He had been elected as one of the prominent doctors in the county . Therefore, he had completed the mission from the system .
Ding! Om!
Wang Yao’s phone rang . He saw a strange number on the phone .
“Hello,” Wang Yao said .
“Hello, Mr . Wang,” the person on the other side of the phone said .
