There were a lot of villages in Lianshan where all the residents were at least 50 years old . Not many young people were willing to live in the countryside .
"To be honest, I have considered moving out myself," Wang Jianli said after keeping silent for a moment .
"What would happen to the village if you left?" Zhang Xiuying asked .
Wang Jianli had been the secretary of the village for more than 10 years . He had earned himself a good reputation among both his superior and the villagers .
"I've discussed this with my wife . We've decided to stay in the village, unless they arrange for every one of us to move out," Wang Jianli said . "What about you guys?"
"We'll stay here, too," Wang Fenghua said .
He had also discussed this with Zhang Xiuying . They wouldn't leave, even they were the only family left in the village .
"Good," Wang Jianli said with a smile .
He was trying to get as many villagers to stay as possible . After all, their village still existed . They had lived in it for decades . They didn't want to leave .
Wang Jianli had a long chat with Wang Fenghua and Zhang Xiuying .
He had visited a number of houses in the past few days . He started with people who had a big impact on the village .
"I don't think many people will stay here after this," Zhang Xiuying said .
"Probably," Wang Fenghua said .
Wang Yao kept silent . In fact, he preferred to be surrounded by less people . Less people meant less trouble . Of course, he couldn't let his parents know his thoughts .
He left home at 9 p . m . and walked toward Nanshan Hill . It was very quiet in the village . He couldn't even hear dogs barking . A lot of villagers had killed their dogs because they didn't want to get infected .
Hmm! Wang Yao turned around to look at his village as he reached the south side .
The atmosphere of the village had changed . The whole thing felt unreal .
The next morning, Wang Yao had a visitor at the clinic . Since the quarantine had been dropped, Pan Jun had decided to visit .
"Hello, Master," Pan Jun said .
"You are not on duty today?" Wang Yao asked .

"No . Are you available today?" Pan Jun asked .
"Yes, take a seat," Wang Yao said .
He made Pan Jun a cup of tea . They sat and chatted .
"I heard the detox for the disease was created by you," Pan Jun said .
Everyone in the hospital had been talking about the recent outbreak of the disease . The key person was Professor Wu from Beijing, but the center of focus was the detox .
"Yes," Wang Yao said with a smile .
"You are amazing," Pan Jun said with sincerity .
"Not really . I was just lucky," Wang Yao said .
Pan Jun told Wang Yao what had happened at Lianshan People's Hospital . A few doctors had been infected by the horrible disease . Fortunately, the detox had been invented . Although the infected doctors would recover eventually, they were still scared .
Wang Mingbao soon arrived while they were talking .
"Hi guys! I am finally here," Wang Mingbao said .
He had been calling Wang Yao all the time lately . After all, he was concerned about his fellow villagers in his hometown .
"Are you OK?" Wang Mingbao asked .
"I'm fine . We are all fine," Wang Yao said .
"I just bumped into several villagers on my way here . They told me a lot of people here want to move out," Wang Mingbao said .
"They are right," Wang Yao said .
"Why do they all want to move out? I think our village is really a nice place to live," Wang Mingbao said .
Wang Yao didn't go into details . He didn't ask Pan Jun and Wang Mingbao to stay for lunch, either . Wang Mingbao went to his grandparent's place .
Wang Yao visited Xishan Hill by himself in the afternoon . The atmosphere around the pits was still depressing, even though it was not as bad as before . However, the danger still existed .

I have to get it sorted out completely .
In a courtyard inside the village, Chen Zhou didn't feel well .
"Ouch!" He held his head with his hands . He suddenly had a headache . "Sis!"
"Yes?" Chen Ying asked .
"I have a headache," Chen Zhou said .
"Is it bad?" Chen Ying asked .
"I have a bad feeling . Can you ask Dr . Wang to come here?" Chen Zhou asked .
Wang Yao was walking around Xishan Hill . He was planning to do something about the deadly areas . He had thought about different ways to fix the areas . His phone suddenly rang .
"Hello, Chen Ying," Wang Yao said .
"My brother has a headache . He said he's worried about having a psychotic episode," Chen Ying said .
"OK, I'm on my way," Wang Yao said .
He quickly left Xishan . After a few hops, he arrived at the foot of the hill . He soon arrived at the house Chen Ying and her brother rented .
"How are you feeling?" Wang Yao asked .
"I have a headache," Chen Zhou said .
"Let me take a look . " Wang Yao checked Chen Zhou's pulse . "Hmm?"
Wang Yao sighed .
"What's wrong with him?" Chen Ying anxiously asked .
"Don't worry," Wang Yao said .
A meridian in Chen Zhou's head had started to move again . He found this problem when they were all in Beijing . However, he couldn't find what caused it . Now, the problem had started again .
Wang Yao kept observing the meridian in Chen Zhou's head . It kept changing its position .

"Does it hurt?" Wang Yao asked .
"Yes," Chen Zhou said .
"Try to bear with the pain," Wang Yao said .
"OK," Chen Zhou said . He clenched his teeth . His forehead was sweating .
Time passed slowly . Chen Ying was very worried .
The change of the meridian continued . It was like paper being cut by a pair of scissors . Suddenly, the change stopped . It was like a person plowing was stopped by a big rock .
Something strange happened . The meridian in disorder started to return to its original position since it couldn't complete the repositioning . This process also caused severe headache . It was as if there was a worm drilling inside the head .
Chen Zhou tried very hard to put up with the pain . He clenched his teeth .
The pain disappeared after the meridians returned to their original position .
"Gee!" Chen Zhou was breathing heavily . His clothes were drenched in sweat .
"Has the pain gone?" Wang Yao asked .
"Yes," Chen Zhou said .
"You should be fine now," Wang Yao said .
"What happened to him just now?" Chen Ying asked with concern .
"One of the meridians in his head tried to reposition itself . I believe this is the cause of your brother's condition," Wang Yao said . "But, you don't need to worry too much . The meridian has gone back its original position . "
"You mean it self-corrected?" Chen Ying asked .
"Yes, exactly," Wang Yao said . He was also surprised by Chen Zhou's condition .
"Will Zhou have this problem again?" Chen Ying asked . She thought her brother had fully recovered, so she didn't expect the disorder would happen again .
"It's hard to say," Wang Yao said . "I think it was a good sign that the meridians could self-correct its position .
"Don't worry too much about me, Sis . " Chen Zhou tried to comfort his sister . "I feel much better now . "
"Right, don't worry too much . The interval between his episodes has been increasing," Wang Yao said .
"OK . We have to stay here for some time then . Sorry to bother you," Chen Ying said .
"You are welcome to stay," Wang Yao said .
He stayed at Chen Ying and Chen Zhou's place for several hours to make sure Chen Zhou was OK before leaving for Xishan Hill again . He had a good look at the deadly areas before going home .
After dinner, he went back to Nanshan Hill . He didn't go to sleep until midnight .
Wang Yao got up very early the next morning .
"San Xian, come with me," Wang Yao said .
Woof! Woof! San Xian was very happy that his master needed him .
A man and a dog followed the path west to walk toward the north . Wang Yao walked fast . The uneven path didn't slow him down . San Xian followed him closely . In one hop, San Xian and Wang Yao were several feet away . San Xian looked even bigger and more like a lion .
Soon, a man and a dog arrived at one of the deadly pits covered by lime powder .
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Apparently, San Xian didn't expect his master to take him to the deadly area again . The place made him uncomfortable .
"Don't worry, San Xian . " Wang Yao gently patted the dog . "Do you think there is a problem here?"
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian indicated Wang Yao was asking him something that was no longer a secret .
"Let's go and check the other pits," Wang Yao said .
A dog and a man visited all the deadly areas on Xishan Hill . At last, Wang Yao stopped in front of a big rock .
Woof! Woof! Woof! The dog was barking fiercely . He was very unsettled and started to walk in circles .
"Is something wrong?" Wang Yao asked . "Does this rock have a problem?"
He walked toward the rock .
Woof! Woof! San Xian was barking even louder . It was as if he was warning Wang Yao not to get too close to that rock, which could be as dangerous as a big bomb .
