If Professor Wu and his assistants didn't speak out, no one would believe the decoctions were from a young doctor in a small village . Eventually, it would be Professor Wu's credit . As his assistants, they would more or less benefit from it .
However, the assistant was thinking too much . It would never happen .
Professor Wu took the decoctions back to Lianshan People's Hospital and went inside the isolated room . He gave the patient Wang Yao's decoction to take .
"Doctor, to be honest, I don't want to take this decoction anymore . " Although the patient sounded reluctant, he drank up the decoction without thinking .
"Do you feel better?" Professor Wu asked .
"Yes but still feel very nauseous," the patient said .
"That is normal . " Professor Wu looked at the nutritious fluid being injected into the patient's body . "Take it easy . Don't worry . "
He left the isolated room after chatting with the patient for a short while .
"Professor, here are the results of the blood test from this morning . " The other assistant who had stayed in the hospital handed the results to Professor Wu .
"The bacteria is decreasing in his blood?" Professor Wu asked .
"Yes, it is decreasing rapidly . Some of the blood samples have been sent to Ji to be analyzed," the assistant said .
"Good, you should take a rest . You've been working the whole night," Professor Lu said .
"I'm fine," the assistant said .
Both assistants stayed in the observation room with their teacher .
The patient was getting better after continuously taking Wang Yao's decoctions . More and more doctors in Lianshan People's Hospital knew about it .
"Those specialists from Beijing are really amazing," a doctor said .
Professor Wu's assistant had heard such comments many times . However, for whatever reason, their guilty conscience was growing .
They were from Beijing, and they were amazing . At least the assistant who went to the village with Professor Wu thought so . However, this time, the key to making the patient better was the young doctor from the village and his decoctions .
They didn't really deserve the praise .

The village was still in a state of siege . All life necessities had to be transferred from outside . Everyone got what they needed . However, not everyone was happy .
Wang Zecheng was one of them . He hadn't worked for days, so he was worried .
"When are they going to let us out!" He was smoking anxiously .
"Why do you want to go out so bad?" his father asked .
"No reason . I'm just bored at home . " Wang Zecheng put out the cigarette in his hand .
"Don't worry too much," his father said .
"OK," Wang Zecheng said .
Of course, he was worried . His father had taken almost all the decoctions . He needed to buy more from Wang Yao . One decoction costed $10,000 . He hadn't worked for three days . He wouldn't get any commission this month and hadn't gotten paid from the other job . He didn't want to lose either job . However, he was not allowed to leave the village to get cash .
He knew understood important money was . It was easy to spend money but hard to make it .
I should go to see Dr . Wang . Maybe he will allow me to pay him later . My father can't stop taking the decoction . Wang Zecheng grabbed a jacket and went out .
Fortunately Wang Yao was still in the clinic .
"You are still here," Wang Zecheng said .
"Yeah, take a seat," Wang Yao said .
"Well . . . " Wang Zecheng was hesitant about speaking .
"Spit it out," Wang Yao said .
"My dad is running out of the decoction . I'm a bit short of cash at the moment . I haven't gotten paid and couldn't take money out of the bank . Can I pay you later? I can sign a debt acknowledgement . I promise you I'll pay you once I get money," Wang Zecheng said .
"That's fine . Come back in the afternoon to get the decoctions," Wang Yao said .
"Really?" Wang Zecheng was surprised . .

"Why would I lie to you?" Wang Yao asked .
A prodigal who returned was more precious than gold . Wang Zecheng had completely changed . He had picked up the conscience he left behind for a long time . He suddenly realized what a terrible person he was .
"Thank you so much . " Wang Zecheng thanked Wang Yao repeatedly before he left .
On the same day, another person was deemed to be infected in the village . He was immediately taken away . Six people had been infected . They had all been transferred to isolated rooms in the hospital . None of them had come back .
"They are all dead!"
"The disease is incurable!"
Rumors were spreading in the village . People felt the threat of death . The state of siege was nothing compared to a life-threatening disease . The villagers thought those who got infected were dying . They believed they would also die if they got infected . They would never come back to the village again . It was really scary .
Some villagers wanted to escape .
"You wanna escape? Where are you going?" a villager asked his brother .
"Anywhere . I just don't want to be here . There have been six people infected . They are all dead," his brother said .
"I can escape, but what about my family?" the villager asked .
"Whatever, you have to take care of yourself before taking care of your family," his brother said .
"How can we escape?" the villager asked .
"We can escape from the hills . They blocked the road but didn't block the mountain . We can follow the paths on the hills to get out of here," his brother said .
"The paths on the hills?" the villager asked .
The paths on the hills could lead them anywhere .
Previously, a lot of villagers preferred to go through the paths on the hills before the main road was fixed . It was more convenient and took less time .
"Let me think about it," the villager said .
"Hey, stop hesitating," his brother said .

"I said I need to think about it," the villager said .
The patient who had been taking the decoctions from Wang Yao remained alert in Lianshan People's Hospital .
"How do you feel?" Professor Wu had asked him a number of times in the isolated room .
"I feel much better," the patient said .
The uncomfortable feeling was fading . Although his body still hurt and he was still nauseous, he felt much better . At least, he was full of hope that he would be cured . Nothing was more important than his recovery .
"The results of the blood test suggest you are getting better," Professor Wu said .
"Thank you," the patient said .
"I am not the person you should thank," Professor Wu said with a smile .
"Who should I thank?" the patient subconsciously asked .
"I can't tell you now . You'll know one day," Professor Wu said .
He didn't leave until after the patient told him in detail how he felt .
"Is there any updated test results?" Professor Wu asked .
"Wait a second," a doctor said .
The latest test results were soon delivered to the observation room . The blood test, electrocardiography and ultrasound all suggested that the patient was getting better .
"Hello, which one is Professor Wu?" One of the leaders of the hospital came into the observation room .
"I am Professor Wu . How can I help you?" Professor Wu asked .
"Oh, we have arranged dinner tonight to thank you for your hard work here . I really hope you can attend," the leader said .
"Well, thank you for inviting me, but I have to work tonight," Professor Wu said .
He was not keen on attending social activities . He would rather stay in the hospital studying the disease and the decoctions from Wang Yao .
"But, we've also invited the leaders from the local city and province government . What do you think?" the leader asked .
"Fine, I'll go," Professor Wu said .
He was invited to dinner every time he went to a local hospital . It had become a routine .
In the village, Zhang Xiuying asked about the disease during dinner .
"Have those infected people died?" Zhang Xiuying softly asked .
"Where did you hear that?" Wang Yao asked with surprise .
"Everyone in the village was talking about it . They said once you are infected, you die quickly," Zhang Xiuying said .
She had heard the rumor from a number of people .
"I'm not sure about that," Wang Yao said . "But, it's possible . "
He knew Chen Jiagui was dead . If the infected patients didn't have access to his decoctions, they would probably end up the same way Chen Jiagui ended .
"Aye!" Zhang Xiuying sighed . "When is this going to be over?"
"Soon," Wang Yao said .
He went to the hill on the west side after dinner . Those areas on the hill remained the same . They were all sterilized .
The deadly aura is still here . Wang Yao could still feel the depressing aura when he was standing in those places . The crisis hadn't been resolved .
What caused the deadly aura?
He decided to spend some time studying it . Once he knew the cause, he would figure out where the bacteria was from .
The night passed peacefully . Professor Wu came to the village again next morning .
"How is the patient?" Wang Yao asked .
"He's getting better . Your decoctions worked . Can you answer my question this time?" Professor Wu asked .
"Do you know how all of these started?" Wang Yao asked .
"I heard from someone that it started from a villager here," Professor Wu said . He had read through the history of this disease spread .
