“Only 10 days . You should be content,” another patient said . “Somebody has been waiting here for 20 days!”
Since the King Pharmacist couldn’t figure out the composition of the decoction, he was in a bad mood . Therefore, he hadn’t seen any patients in a few days . This upset the people waiting to see him, even though they knew that if he was in a bad mood, he would not do his job .
“I don’t know when the King Pharmacist will cool down,” a patient said .
“Oh, we can only wait,” another patient said with a sigh .
The people waiting to see King Pharmacist looked helplessly at the two-story bamboo building . There was nothing they could do about the situation .
The next morning, it gently rained . The Han family moved their seriously ill brother to the car and headed to the King Pharmacist’s village . After a few hours, they reached their destination .
“Hey, the King Pharmacist has not started working yet today,” Han Xing said . He had gotten out of the car and overheard a conversation among the group of people waiting . “Do we have to line up too?”
“We shouldn’t have to,” Han Zhigao said . “He told us come in a week, didn’t he?”
“You should ask first,” Han Xing said .
“OK . I’ll go,” Han Zhigao said .
He got out of the car and headed toward the bamboo building .
“Don’t bother, younger brother . The King Pharmacist has been in a bad mood lately and has not seen any patients,” a waiting patient kindly said .
“Thanks . I think I will still go and have a look,” Han Zhigao said .
Outside the bamboo building, there was a fence around 4 feet tall and a wooden door with a bell hanging on it . Han Zhigao went to ring the bell .
Ring! Ring!
It was a man in his 30s walking out of the bamboo building . It was Jian, who had accompanied the King Pharmacist to Dali .
“Hello,” Han Zhigao said .
“It is you . Did the patient come with you?” Jian recognized Han Zhigao at a glance .
“Yes, we brought him,” Han Zhigao said .
“Wait a minute . ” Jian entered the bamboo building and soon came out . “Bring the patient in . ”

“Oh, thank you . ” Han Zhigao hurriedly went back to the car .
Not long after, the Han brothers carried their brother on a stretcher into the bamboo building . The people waiting outside were very surprised .
“Didn’t he say he wasn’t going to see any patients? What is going on?” a patient asked .
“I guess the King Pharmacist already promised them,” a sensible patient said . “That person seems to be very sick!”
“Yes . He is all wrapped up in bandages,” another patient said . “Maybe he was badly burned . ”
“The last time I saw a person come here like him, it was said that he had stayed for a month,” the sensible patient said .
“Have you been here before?” the other patient asked .
“I came with my friends that time, but this time I am here for myself,” the sensible patient replied .
In the bamboo building, the King Pharmacist did not seem happy . The Han brothers and their people did not even dare to breathe too loudly .
“Leave two people and the rest go out,” the King Pharmacist said .
Han Xing and Han Zhiyu stayed . The rest of their group went outside .
“Untie the bandages,” the King Pharmacist said .
“OK . ” When Han Zhigao was about to start the task, Jian approached the patient and quickly untied thee gauze .
After unraveling it, they could see the three layers of the drug had solidified . It looked like a bloody scar with cracks .
“Break it,” the King Pharmacist said .
Jian quickly broke the knots . This time, his movement was very gentle . When it broke open, a unique smell rushed out that was pungent .
The youngest brother’s skin looked better than it had . There was even a faint flesh color . The treatment had already achieved great and begun to remove the necrotic tissues and promote granulation .
“It worked,” Han Xing quietly said to Han Zhiyu .
The King Pharmacist came to the front and looked at the patient carefully . He then said, “Medicine . ”
Jian got out three jars of medicine .

“You can do it,” the King Pharmacist said .
“Yes, Master,” Jian said .
He quickly got to work, He opened the first jar . The medicine was green and sticky like honey . It also smelled slightly pungent .
Jian’s movements were much slower than those of the King Pharmacist the last time . But, his hands were steady, and he was very careful .
“Get him up,” the King Pharmacist said .
“OK . ” Han Zhigao hurried forward to help . His hand inevitably touched the drug . It only felt very cold to him .
After the first layer of the drug was finished, it was time for second layer . It was thick like plaster . This layer completely sealed the first layer . Then, the third layer, a powder, was applied .
At this point, Jian’s arm holding the medicine jar slightly shivered . After this step, he took a long sigh of relief . After taking a break, he carefully covered the patient’s body with gauze .
“Well done . ” The King Pharmacist nodded, apparently satisfied with the performance of his disciple . “Feed him a cordyceps pill . ”
“Yes, Master,” Jian said .
He poured a pill from bottle that was about the size of a thumb and fed it to the patient .
“OK, come back in 10 days,” the King Pharmacist said .
“Thank you . ” Han Xing and Han Zhiyu were astonished .
During the treatment, the two of them had been afraid to even breathe out of fear of angering the King Pharmacist . It had been a tormenting process for them .
“I am going out to call people . ” Han Zhiyu got up to leave .
“Wait,” the King Pharmacist said .
“Was there something else?” Han Zhiyu asked .
The King Pharmacist stared at the two of them . No one could guess what he was thinking . The two brothers were very uncomfortable . It was as if they were being stared at by beast in the dark .
“Where do these three drugs come from?” the King Pharmacist asked, pointing to the three porcelain bottles in front of him .
The two secretly let out a sigh of relief and thought, That’s it? He didn’t have to be so scary .

“It comes from a young doctor,” Han Xing said .
“Please be specific,” the King Pharmacist said .
Han Xing told him their story in great detail, including that the drugs provided by Wang Yao and given to the King Pharmacist violated their promise to Wang Yao . There was nothing else to reveal .
“Sang Guzi, the old guy . ” The King Pharmacist bowed his head and meditated . No one knew what he was thinking . He then waved his hand and said, “Go ahead . ”
“OK . ” The two brothers left the building . Along with the rest of their group, they took their youngest brother and prepared to leave .
“Since your hand touched the drug, it may be itchy and hurt,” Jian said to Han Zhiyu before the left . “Don’t be fearful . It will recover soon . ”
“Oh, I see,” Han Zhiyu said .
The patients waiting saw them carrying the patient out .
“Hey, was there any treatment or not?” one of the patients asked .
“There was . Did you not see the gauze outside change?” another patient said .
“I’ll ask them . ” The first patient approached Han Xing and said, “Excuse me, sir . ”
“What is it?” Han Zhiyu asked
“Is the King Pharmacist going to see any patients today?” the man asked .
“We made an early appointment,” Han Xing said .
“Oh, thank you,” the man said .
“You’re welcome,” Han Zhiyu said .
The Han family then headed back to Dali .
One person waiting for treatment recognized Han Zhigao . “Hey, I remember! They were the ones who donated the drug to the king a few days ago . I know one of them . ”
“Do you think they made the King Pharmacist angry?” another patient asked .
“I don’t think so,” the other patient replied . “I doubt he would treat them if he was not happy . ”
In Lianshan County, it was still rainy . Wang Yao drove out of the mountain village and came to the nursery that often sold seedlings .
“Where is your boss?” he asked .
“I am the boss . ” The receptionist Wang Yao spoke to was a man in his 30s and very strong .
“I usually deal with someone else,” Wang Yao said .
“My went to do other things and left me in charge . Do you know my brother?” the man asked .
“I know him,” Wang Yao said .
“You must be a regular customer . What is your name?” the man asked .
“My surname is Wang,” Wang Yao said .
“Wang Yao, is that right?” The man practically shouted out his name .
“Yes, that is me,” Wang Yao replied .
“Come in, please come in . ” After confirming Wang Yao’s identity, the man was very polite . He led Wang Yao into the office in the nursery and gave him tea . “My brother specially explained to me that you are a respectable guest . He said I should give you the lowest prices and the best things . Oh, my name is Li Shiyu . Just call me Xiao Li . ”
“Hello, Manager Li . These are the trees I want . Please have a look,” Wang Yao said .
“Yushu, eucalyptus, jujube…” Li Shiyu looked at them carefully . “No problem!”
He felt that the trees and shrubs the customer wanted were a bit strange . When he remembered what his older brother had said, he no longer thought about it .
“When do you need them?” Li Shiyu asked .
“Within seven days,” Wang Yao said . “You can call me when you are ready . ”
Wang Yao then gave the man his phone number .
