"It's OK, Xiaoyao . Don't lie to me . " A middle-aged man said after listening to Wang Yao's diagnosis .
"You can eat, drink, and sleep as usual . Don't think too much," Wang Yao said . "You just think too much under pressure . "
The middle-aged man was still dubious . It was not only him who had such an idea . Everyone in the village was scared so much these days .
The situation was hard to accept . People they had known for years, with whom they would meet in the street and chat with, had suddenly gotten sick, quarantined, and then died . The disease was also contagious .
These days, Wang Yao also received a lot of phone calls from Tian Yuantu, Li Maoshuang, Wei Hai, and others asking about the situation . Even Sun Yunsheng called him to ask whether he needed any help .
This incident really did not have much impact on Wang Yao, but the numbers of patients who came were a little less than in the past .
…
In Jing, spring was full of blossoms . Su Xiaoxue stood alone in the yard looking at the sky with her thoughts swirling .
"What are you thinking about?" Song Ruiping asked from behind .
"I want to go out," Su Xiaoxue said .
"Where?" Song Ruiping asked .
"Well, I want to see Mr . Wang," Su Xiaoxue said .
"You can't . There is an outbreak of an infectious disease in his village," Song Ruiping said . She naturally knew about this, but she has never mentioned it to her daughter .
"Infectious disease? Is there any trouble there for Mr . Wang?" Su Xiaoxue quickly asked .
"It's OK . Drugs to treat it have been found," Song Ruiping said .
"That's good," Su Xiaoxue said .
"It was discovered by Dr . Wang," Song Ruiping said .
"Mr . Wang is naturally very skillful," Su Xiaoxue said .
"Yeah . " Song Ruiping nodded .

While they were talking, someone approached them .
"Madam, Guo Zhenghe is waiting outside," her maid said .
"Please, have him come in," Song Ruiping said .
After a short while, Guo Zhenghe walked in with a bright smile on his face like the spring sunshine . He was carrying two boxes of tea in his hand . "Auntie, Xiaoxue . "
"Come on, have a seat," Song Ruiping said .
They sat in the courtyard .
"This is the spring tea produced in the county," Guo Zhenghe said . "Although it is not a famous product, it has a special flavor . So, I brought some for you to taste . "
"You are so kind," Song Ruiping said .
Spring tea should be picked before and after the Tomb-sweeping Day . In some places in the south, it might be a little earlier .
"Xiaoxue, have you been going out recently?" Guo Zhenghe asked .
"I went out to Xiangshan . " Su Xiaoxue smiled .
"Where else do you want to go? I am free these days . Let's go out together," Guo Zhenghe said .
"Well, there is no place I want to go for a while," Su Xiaoxue said .
"Let me know if you change your mind and I'll take you," Guo Zhenghe said .
Su Xiaoxue smiled . While talking, her brother arrived .
"Brother!" she seemed to be extraordinarily happy when she saw her elder brother .
"Hey, how are you going?" Su Zhixing was very fond of his sister .
"It's very good . I went to Xiangshan a few days ago," Su Xiaoxue said .
"Mom, Zhenghe," Su Zhixing said .

"Brother Zhixing . " Guo Zhenghe nodded .
"Why do you come back?" Song Ruiping asked .
"For a little business," Su Zhixing said .
Guo Zhenghe was very sensible, so he left .
"Does he have something to do here?" Su Zhixing asked .
"There is something," Song Ruiping said .
"What is it?" Su Zhixing asked .
"It has to do with your little sister!" Song Ruiping smiled .
"Mom!" Su Xiaoxue was embarrassed .
"We have to carefully consider," Song Ruiping said .
Su Zhixing did not say anything . He knew Guo Zhenghe was interested in his sister . He had secretly arranged someone to check into him . Of course, it was a sneaky investigation with two results . First, his performance was extremely good, and he was a rare young talent . Second, he was good at plotting and grabbing power . He was overly shrewd at a young age . Being shrewd was a good thing but also not a good thing . The key was to see how it was used .
"What do you think, sister?" he asked .
"I don't like him," Su Xiaoxue decisively said .
"Never mind then if you don't like him," Su Zhixing immediately said . He had her same attitude . Everything would depend on her own wishes .
"You really are siblings!" Song Ruiping smiled and pointed to her children .
"OK, I still have something to do . You can take your time to talk," Song Ruiping said .
"Brother, what do you want to do this time?" Su Xiaoxue asked .
"I have a little business to see an old friend to ask for something . Oh, I am still going to pop into Mr . Wang," Su Zhixing said .
"Go there for what?" When he mentioned Wang Yao, her eyes began to sparkle .
"Of course, I want to consult him . His martial arts is really at the peak, and he is very skillful!" Su Zhixing, who had the privilege of seeing part of his ability, praised Wang Yao's achievement .

"When are you going?" she asked .
"Well, you want to go too, don't you?" Su Zhixing knew what his little sister was thinking .
"Could I?" Su Xiaoxue asked .
"Well, why not? We have to wait until I settle the official business in Jing," Su Zhixing said .
Troops were under highly strict rules . They were not free to come and go as they pleased .
"Well, I am afraid that we can't go even if we wanted to," Su Xiaoxue said .
"What do you mean?" her brother asked .
"There is an infectious disease outbreak where Mr . Wang lives and it is under martial law," Su Xiaoxue said .
Su Zhixing was shocked . "Is he alright?"
"He is naturally alright, and he has also developed drugs for the treatment of infectious disease," his sister replied . "They are being produced on a larger scale, but the mountain village is still under martial law . "
"How could it be like that?" Su Zhixing frowned .
In addition to his official business, he wanted to go to the mountain village and invite Wang Yao to go out to instruct and teach them how to fight . This was a half-private and half-public matter, but he did not expect to encounter such a situation .
"It must be put off," Su Xiaoxue said .
"If I can't go this time, there must be a next time," Su Zhixing said .
"OK," Su Xiaoxue said .
"If I can't go there, I'll stay with you, little girl, at home . Tell me, where do you want to go?" he asked
"Wudang Mountain," Su Xiaoxue said .
"What?" Su Zhixing asked . "Where?"
"The Taoist Holy Land," Su Xiaoxue said .
Her reason made him feel a little confused . "Well, if you want to go, I will accompany you . "
…
In the mountain village, people were still panicking . There was another infected person .
Wang Yao called Professor Wu . On the same day, around dusk, a large amount of medicine was transferred into the mountain village . According to the number, it was distributed to every family . Everyone had to take it for prevention, no matter if they were sick or not . This also was to give the villagers a little peace of mind .
Before long, another seven days passed . No one in the village got sick again .
The martial law became more relaxed . People were allowed to enter and exit, but they still had to be registered . They had to answer questions when they returned about where they had gone so it could be recorded .
"I want you to accompany me to see your grandfather since we haven't for a while . They are worried about us," Zhang Xiuying said .
Wang Yao drove his parents to his grandfather's house . The two elders were relieved that the family was fine .
In the evening, Wang Zhili, the village party secretary, came to their home again . He looked sad .
They had a few phatic words while drinking tea .
"Recently, there have been many villagers looking for me . " Wang Jianli lit up a cigarette .
"What happened?" Wang Fenghua asked .
"They want to leave the village at once," Wang Jianli said .
There was a short silence . Wang Fenghua deeply inhaled and then exhaled smoke . "They are all afraid!"
"Yes, they are all afraid," Wang Jianli said . "The Sun's real estate in the county town has been built . The people who originally planned to stay in the village now plan to leave!"
"How many families will be left?" Wang Fenghua asked .
"Oh, 30 . Maybe even less," Wang Jianli said .
"So few?" Wang Yao was surprised .
"Hey, is this still a village if there are so few families?" Wang Jianli asked .
It couldn't be seen as a village with such a small population . A village in decline would eventually completely vanish . This was not a rare case .
