Chapter 554: 554
“I heard the King Pharmacist has a special rule . If someone offers him special herbs or decoctions, he will do one thing for that person,” Han Zhigao said .

“So?” Han Xing asked .
“Can you give the King Pharmacist the three decoctions and ask him to treat our little brother?” Han Zhigao asked .
Han Xing stared at his brother but didn’t say anything .
“Brother?” Han Zhigao gently asked .
“You think we don’t need Dr . Wang anymore?” Han Xing asked .
“Who needs him if we have the King Pharmacist?” Han Zhigao asked .
“And, we won’t need Dr . Sang anymore?” Han Xing asked .
“Well, Dr . Sang is a fantastic doctor, but no one is better than the King Pharmacist,” Han Zhigao said .
In Yunnan, King Pharmacist had a really good reputation . To people in Yundan, he was capable of anything .
“Fine!” Han Xing nodded . He then stared at his brother . “Have you ever considered that the King Pharmacist might not be able to cure our little brother?”
“How could that be possible?” Han Zhigao asked . “That Wang Yao is so young . How good could he be? How could he possibly be a better doctor than the King Pharmacist?”
“Yes, brother, I don’t think he could be a better doctor than the King Pharmacist,” Han Zhiyu said .
“I don’t agree with you,” Han Xing said . “We Han’s family always keep its word . Additionally, you should get a better idea of the King Pharmacist’s rule . That old man is very weird . ”
Han Xing left the room . He didn’t want to discuss this topic anymore with his brothers .
“What does our big brother mean?” Han Zhigao asked .
“You can’t see it? He didn’t agree with our proposal,” Han Zhiyu said .
“I think it is a good idea,” Han Zhigao said . “Our big brother is a nice guy, but he’s sometimes too stubborn . What do you think, bro?”
“I agree with you . ” Han Zhiyu nodded . He thought Han Zhigao’s idea was practical . “Look, we need to know exactly what the King Pharmacist’s rule is . Then, we can come up with a plan . ”

“We want to keep our promise, but we really don’t know if that young doctor can cure our brother,” Han Zhigao said . “Besides, who will know if we keep our mouths shut . Both Wang Yao and Sang Guzi have left . ”
“OK . For now, we keep this to ourselves . Let’s stop talking about it,” Han Zhiyu said .
Wang Yao took a direct flight to Dao . It was dark by the time he had arrived . The Han brothers had booked the best hotel for him in the city . He had a nice sleep in the hotel . A car came to pick him up in the morning to take him to Lianshan .
Several patients were already waiting outside Wang Yao’s clinic .
“He’s away? When will he come back?” one of the patients asked .
“It’s hard to say,” a different patient said .
“Isn’t he from the village? May we should go to his house to ask,” a patient said .
“No, you can’t go to this house . He hates people disturbing his parents,” another patient said . “I heard that from one of the villagers . Can’t you read the sign on the door?”
“Then, what can we do? We came all the way here,” one of the patients said .
“Let’s wait for another hour . If he still doesn’t show up, we’ll come back tomorrow,” another patient said .
They waited for one hour, but Wang Yao didn’t show up .
“Let’s go,” one of the patients said .
“What sort of clinic is this?” a middle-aged man complained .
“Stop complaining . I’m the one you should blame . I brought you guys here,” another man said .
It was normal for these men to be unhappy . After all, they had come all the way to the clinic but didn’t get to see the doctor . It was a waste of time .
Thirty minutes after they left, Wang Yao arrived home .
“Dad! Mom! I’m back,” Wang Yao said . Zhang Xiuying was busy cooking lunch .
“Have you had lunch?” Zhang Xiuying asked .

“Not yet,” Wang Yao said .
“Drink some water and take a rest . Lunch will be ready soon,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Since her son was home, Zhang Xiuying cooked two more dishes . Before long, she finished cooking . “Lunch is ready . ”
“Where is Dad?” Wang Yao asked .
“Someone invited him for lunch . It’s just us,” Zhang Xiuying said . “How is everything going in Dali?”
“Not bad,” Wang Yao said .
“Have you cured the patient?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“No . I only stayed for three days . It will take some time to treat the patient . By the way, has anyone come to our house in the last few days?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, and no one went to Nanshan Hill either,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Good,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao went to Nanshan Hill right after lunch . San Xian came down to welcome him . He wagged his tail happily .
“Hi, San Xian, you put on weight again,” Wang Yao said .
Woof! Woof! Woof!
“Haha! Is everything alright here?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof!
“No? What’s wrong?” Wang Yao could tell something was abnormal by the way San Xian barked .
Wang Yao sped up and rushed to his herbal field . He came to San Xian’s dog house . “This is what you are barking about?”
There was a small wild rabbit inside the dog house .

“Where did you find it?” Wang Yao asked .
San Xian barked toward the back of the hill .
“What? You want to eat rabbit with soy sauce?” Wang Yao asked with a smile . “Hey, why do you look at me like that? You want me to raise it up?”
Woof!
“Wow! You are such a nice dog!” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head . “Does Da Xia know about it?”
Dogs didn’t like eating rabbits, but rabbits were eagles’ favorite food .
“Fine, I’ll take it home . We can’t have a rabbit here,” Wang Yao said . “Animals like rabbits will eat up all my herbs . ”
Woof!
Wang Yao put the rabbit aside and walked around the herbal field . Before long, he had walked around the entire hill .
“Hmm?” After Wang Yao had reached the top of the hill, he found a number of trees at the foot of hill down south had been cut . He followed the path down to take a close look . He found a number of old jujube trees had been removed .
The south end of Nanshan Hill was very steep . It was irregular and shaped like an arc . Further up was a small hill . People rarely went there because it was so isolated .
Wang Yao had stayed on Nanshan Hill for several years . He knew that even the shepherds didn’t come there because it was too steep . One time, a person fell off the hill and broke his leg .
Who came here? Someone from the village? Wang Yao wondered .
According to the original contract, this place also belonged to him .
If someone comes here, they will probably be able to reach the north side of the hill .
Wang Yao was a bit worried . “San Xian!” His voice flew to the top of the hill and went down into the herbal field .
A moment later, San Xian, who was as big as a calf, ran from the top of the hill . San Xian was several feet closer with one jump . He really looked like a small lion from distance .
“Has anyone been here before?” Wang Yao asked .
San Xian sniffed around and barked .
“From which direction?” Wang Yao asked .
The dog sniffed around and led the way . Wang Yao followed him . There was no footpath on this side of the hill . Initially, there had been a few small paths . Since no one came around, those small paths had disappeared . Wang Yao really didn’t understand why anyone would come there for a couple of jujube trees .
San Xian stopped in front of a cliff . There were some marks on the ground .
“What is this? Honeycomb?” Wang Yao asked .
He looked up at the cliff and found what was left of a honeycomb about 20 feet high . He looked back at the location where the jujube trees were . It was not hard to spot the honeycomb from that location .
Someone came to grab the honeycomb, found the jujube trees by accident, and then cut the trees?
“Go on, San Xian,” Wang Yao said .
San Xian continued to lead the way . They quickly reached the west side of the hill . They continued to walk north for about an hour . They eventually went back to Wang Yao’s village . San Xian stopped at the door of a house .
The person is from our village? Wang Yao was surprised .
“Hi, Yao . ” A villager passed by and greeted Wang Yao . The way the villager looked at San Xian was strange . “Is that a dog? It looks like a small lion!”
“Hi, Uncle,” Wang Yao said .
“Is this the place?” Wang Yao asked San Xian .
Woof! San Xian barked .
“Good, let’s go . ” Wang Yao walked away .
Creak! The door of the house suddenly opened and a man came out of the house . He was in his 40s and had beard .
“Hello, Yao . Are you looking for me?” the man asked .
“Hello, Uncle,” Wang Yao said .
