Professor Wu kept saying it .
"You are too modest," the Qi Provincial government leader said .
He knew he wasn't modest . Thanks to the young man in the village, the crisis caused by the disease could be controlled in a short period of time . Without Wang Yao's assistance, he didn't know when this would have been over .
The Health Department held a party to celebrate the success . All the key personnel in the Health Department of the county, city, and province came to the party . Of course, the spotlight was on Professor Wu, the specialist from Beijing .
People were chatting and drinking happily at the dinner table . Everyone seemed to enjoy the party very much . Even Professor Wu's two assistants received significant praise . After a few drinks, the two young men started to feel lightheaded . They couldn't speak properly .
They often attended dinners and parties with their teacher and received flattery from the directors of big companies . It was different this time . As common folks, they were highly regarded by these senior officers from the local government . This made them feel better than liquor .
However, one person stayed calm throughout the party . He was the start of the party, Professor Wu . I have to speak to that young man!
He didn't want anything that didn't belong to him . He thought a lot that evening .
The clouds were accumulating in the sky . Wang Yao was looking up at the sky on Nanshan Hill .
It is going to rain tomorrow .
He then looked toward the west . Xishan Hill was not far from Nanshan Hill . It just stood there quietly . It was a bit higher than Nanshan Hill . The highest hill surrounding the village was to the north . The next highest was Xishan Hill . Nanshan was actually the lowest .
I can't see anything .
Given his current capacity, he still couldn't see the difference between Xishan Hill and the other hills . As for the so-called deadly aura, he couldn't feel it from Nanshan Hill .
Never mind! Wang Yao turned the light off since it was getting late .
It started to rain the next morning . Regardless of the weather, Wang Yao had a visitor .
Although the method of treating the horrible disease had been found with Wang Yao's assistance, and the decoctions were in production, the village was still in a state of siege . The alarm wouldn't be taken off for a while .
"Hey, isn't he the specialist from Beijing?" A villager recognized the visitor .
"Yes, he's been here a number of times," another villager said .
"I heard he found the way to treat the disease . People from Beijing are really different," the first villager said .
"Exactly . They threw a party for him last night in the city," the other villager said .
"What is he doing here on a rainy day?" the first villager asked .
Knowing that the doctors had found a way to treat the disease, the police and medical officers in the village were no longer as nervous as before . No matter how horrible the disease was, as long as there was a way to cure it, it wouldn't be that bad .
"Hey, I heard something from someone," a middle-aged villager said .

"What?" his neighbor asked . .
"The local government gave him $1 million as a reward," the middle-aged villager said .
"Are you serious?" his neighbor asked .
Professor Wu didn't hear their conversation . He went straight to Wang Yao's clinic and knocked on the door .
"Please come in," Wang Yao said .
He had received a call from Professor Wu in the morning, so he had been waiting in the clinic .
"Hello, Professor Wu," Wang Yao said .
"Hello, Dr . Wang," Professor Wu said .
Wang Yao began brewing a pot of tea .
"Thank you for the formula and herbs . They've started to grow the herbs in large scale," Professor Wu said .
"Great," Wang Yao said .
"The key is the formula . I've received an offer to purchase the formula," Professor Wu said . "However, no one knows you provided the formula . I've made an application on your behalf . "
He didn't go into details . Actually, he had applied for a patent under Wang Yao's name .
"I'm ready to tell everyone the formula is from you," Professor Wu said .
"Just announce that the formula is created by both of us," Wang Yao said .
"No, I did nothing to create the formula," Professor Wu said .
"You helped test and promote the formula," Wang Yao said with a smile . He knew Professor Wu was a person with a conscience .
"That was nothing," Professor Wu said .
"Anyway, I prefer you not to mention my name," Wang Yao said .
"OK," Professor Wu said .
"You don't look well . It seems you haven't had a good sleep for some time . I guess you've been working too hard for this disease," Wang Yao said .
Professor Wu looked exhausted . When a person was tired, they could easily get attacked by a virus or bacteria and become ill .
"You are right," Professor Wu said .
"You need to look after yourself . Have some tea," Wang Yao said .

"Thank you," Professor Wu said .
The tea tasted really good . Professor Wu felt very comfortable after drinking it . The tea seemed to have driven his exhaustion away .
"Where did you learn medicine?" Professor Wu asked .
"God . " Wang Yao pointed to the sky with a smile .
Professor Wu laughed .
They chatted for a long while .
"I would invite you for dinner if our village was not in quarantine," Wang Yao said .
"Never mind," Professor Wu said . "You can also come to Beijing . "
It was still raining when Professor Wu left the clinic .
Wang Yao's parent asked Wang Yao about the disease during lunch .
"I heard the specialist from Beijing has created a medication to treat the disease," Zhang Xiuying said .
"Hmm, the medication was actually created by your son," Wang Yao said .
"Really?" Zhang Xiuying asked .
"Of course," Wang Yao said .
"Did it work?" Wang Fenghua asked .
"Yeah," Wang Yao said .
"Good . That's good . " Wang Fenghua smiled and lit a cigarette .
…
In Dali, the Han brothers were going to visit the King Pharmacist for the fourth time .
"Bro, how do you feel?" Han Zhigao asked .
"I'm fine with the trip . " The youngest brother was able to speak well inside the wrap .
"Let's go then," Han Zhigao said .
"OK," the sick brother said .
A few hours later, they arrived at the small village in south Yunnan and saw the King Pharmacist . He hadn't changed . He looked serious as he stared at Han Zhigao and his brother .

I wish I didn't have to meet this man anymore, Han Zhigao thought .
"Jian, come here," the King Pharmacist said .
"Yes, Master," Jian said .
It was still Jian who applied the decoction on the sick brother . He gently removed the gauze so that the skin was exposed . A large amount of scar tissue dropped off . Everyone could see new skin on some part of the body .
The brothers were thrilled to see the change in their youngest brother .
Jian moved slowly to apply three big jars of ointment onto the youngest brother's body . He then wrapped his body with special gauze .
"Come back in 20 days," the King Pharmacist said .
"Sure, thank you," Han Zhigao said .
"Wait, I need to ask you something . " The brothers were stopped by the King Pharmacist as they were about to walk out .
"Sure," Han Xing said .
"Where is the person who made the three decoctions?" the King Pharmacist asked .
"Well, he's from Qi Province up north," Han Xing said .
"Qi Province?" The King Pharmacist frowned . He had lived in Yunnan for decades . Although he had traveled, he had never been north . "Never mind, off you go . "
"OK . Goodbye for now . " Han Xing and his brothers quickly walked out of the building .
"Master, do you want to meet that person?" Jian asked after the brothers left .
"Yes," the King Pharmacist said . "I have studied the three decoctions for nearly a month, but I still can't figure out their components . "
"I can ask my colleagues to look into it," Jian said .
"OK . I haven't come across anything so interesting in a long time," the King Pharmacist said with a smile . A person who didn't have a counterpart often felt lonely .
…
Time passed quickly . It was just a blink of the eye from winter to spring . The trees had turned green, and the flowers were blooming . Spring brought life to the earth .
The test of Wang Yao's decoction was successful in Lianshan People's Hospital, especially to those who were at the initial stage of the disease .
Professor Wu had said something unexpectedly during a media interview . He said the formula, which could cure the disease, was not developed by him . It was developed by a traditional Chinese Pharmacist whose surname was Wang .
People watching the interview had no idea what a traditional Chinese Pharmacist was or this Wang person was . However, some people knew what Professor Wu was talking about, like the villagers who watched the interview by accident .
"A traditional Chinese Pharmacist whose surname is Wang? Is he talking about Fenghua's son, Yao?" a villager wondered .
Since the antidote was in production, quarantine was no longer strict in the village . However, there were still policemen around . It was arranged by the government from the city and county . Although the antidote had been developed, the disease was highly contagious and the death rate was still high, so people were still cautious .
One day, Professor Wu came to the village . "I'm here to say goodbye . "
"You are going back to Beijing?" Wang Yao asked .
"Yes . I think things are getting better here . I've got other business to attend to," Professor Wu said .
He stayed in the clinic for a long while having a good chat with Wang Yao . They talked about medicine, as well as other things .
"I didn't expect you to be so acknowledged as a young doctor," Professor Wu said .
One could often get the whole picture by seeing only one spot . Professor Wu could get a good idea of Wang Yao's expertise and medical skills just by discussing a medical case with him .
"When will this place stop being a quarantine?" Wang Yao asked .
"At least a month . Sorry . I can't make a decision on that," Professor Wu said .
"I don't like going out anyway . I just don't want the villagers to think too much," Wang Yao said .
He was afraid there would be more people leaving the village after the quarantine was over . He knew the construction of the apartments developed by Sun Zhengrong's company were almost finished . A number of people already wanted to move out . The crisis this time had caused more than 10 deaths in a village with a small population . Wang Yao didn't think many people would want to continue living in the village .
This small village, which used to be safe and quiet, could no longer offer a sense of security to its residents . It was barely their home anymore . Plus, not many people had a strong attachment to their hometowns anymore .
People became more cowardly when they were close to their hometown because they didn't have to miss their family so much . However, young people nowadays didn't really care about family .
Time passed by as the villagers continued to be anxious about their future .
Meanwhile, more people were found to be infected and sent to the People's Hospital in town . In addition to humans, some rabbits, sheep, and dogs were also infected . It seemed like the whole village was about to get infected .
"Can we move all the residents out of the village?" one of the town leaders suggested . "Of course, I'm talking about those who haven't been infected . "
"It's gonna be a huge task," another leader said .
They had to find a suitable place to accommodate all the residents of the village . Since there were a lot of people involved, they had to build temporary accommodations for them . It would take a long time to get those things done .
"We need to think about it," the leader said .
They needed to further discuss the issue . However, the villagers had started to take action and butcher and burn life stock . They wouldn't have done that in the past . Life stock meant money to them . Now, they wouldn't take any risks . If they got bit by an animal, they would have to go to the hospital . The worst case scenario was they could die . Money was nothing compared to life .
"Aye!' The villagers felt hopeless and sad .
There were too many uncertainties . They were depressed . A lot of people got sick with either a headache or diarrhea . Some of them couldn't sleep at night .
They couldn't get out of the village, so they all went to see Wang Yao .
He was very patient . He saw them one by one and provided effective treatment . He knew all these health issues were caused by emotional distress .
