What should I do? Wang Yao thought .
He didn't have any professional devices to test whether the insects carried the horrible bacteria that caused an outbreak in his village . He needed to find an alternative way to test it .
Yes!
He made the insects bite a little chicken . He then put the chicken in a bottle to observe . It died a moment later . Wang Yao was unsure whether the chicken already had problems or was too scared, so he grabbed another one .
The chicken was shaking in the stone cage after being bitten by the insects . It looked pitiful .
Woof! Woof! San Xian started to bark .
"OK, OK, I see . " Wang Yao patted San Xian's head with a smile .
San Xian seemed to care about these little animals a lot .
At night, San Xian suddenly started to bark . Wang Yao went out to see what happened . He found the chicken in the cage had died .
Oh no! He failed again .
Wang Yao went back to his cottage to think about what to do next . Finally, he decided to borrow external power .
He called Professor Wu the next morning to tell him his thoughts .
"OK, wait for me . I'll come to your village as soon as I can," Professor Wu said after keeping silent for a moment .
He stopped what he was working on and headed to Lianshan with only one assistant as fast as he could .
Wang Yao looked at Xishan Hill from the top of Nanshan Hill .
The danger was still there . It could affect the village anytime . Wang Yao even thought about destroying Xishan hill completely . Should I just burn it?
The quarantine was over, so it was business as usual in the village . The villagers seemed to be relieved .
During the past few months, the villagers were threatened by death and kept in the village . They were on the edge of having a nervous breakdown . Suddenly, everything had gone back to normal . It made them realize they hadn't had ordinary lives for a long time .

Therefore, the majority of the villagers went away . They either went to the town or the city . It was not because they had errands to run there . They just wanted to get out of the village to enjoy their freedom .
Sun Yusheng came to the village in the afternoon . He had lost quite a lot of weight .
"You look more energetic after losing weight," Wang Yao said with a smile .
"Thanks, I've been really busy," Sun Yunsheng said .
He had a lot of tricky business to deal with and hadn't sort it all out . He squeezed a couple of hours in to visit the village because he heard about the outbreak of the horrible contagious disease . He had called Wang Yao several days ago . Wang Yao had told him the village was no longer in quarantine .
"Take care of yourself no matter how busy you are," Wang Yao said .
He could tell Sun Yunsheng hadn't slept well lately .
"Sure," Sun Yunsheng said .
"Have some tea," Wang Yao said . He made Sun Yunsheng a nice cup of tea .
Sun Yunsheng felt relaxed and calmed as soon as he sat down with Wang Yao . He temporarily stopped worrying about the business that gave him a big headache . He really enjoyed chatting and having a cup of tea with Wang Yao .
"I really envy your lifestyle," Sun Yunsheng said .
"Our life goals are different," Wang Yao said with a smile .
Some people wanted a colorful life with luxurious clothes and food . Others preferred a quiet and peaceful life . Different people wanted different lifestyles, which of course led to different stress levels .
"Let me know if there is anything I can do . I'm happy to help," Wang Yao said .
"OK . " Sun Yunsheng nodded . He knew any promise from Wang Yao would be kept seriously .
He didn't leave until late afternoon . He was reluctant to leave the village . He wanted to stay a few more days .
"By the way, the construction of the apartments in Lianshan town center has finished," Sun Yunsheng said before leaving .
"I see . Thank you for telling me," Wang Yao said .

"I guess there won't be too many people left after this," Sun Yunsheng said .
"Probably," Wang Yao said .
Sun Yunsheng told Wang Yao the old houses used to swap for new apartments in town were basically useless . He was happy to have Wang Yao deal with the old houses .
Wang Yao just smiled . What could he do with the old houses? He just needed one house to live in . That was it . The value of old houses in the village wouldn't go up, and he was not short on money .
"Thank you . I don't need those old houses," Wang Yao said .
"Aye!" Sun Yunsheng sighed .
As soon as he got into his car to drive out of the village, Sun Yunsheng felt the stress come back . It dropped heavily on his shoulders . He had to continue to work . He didn't have a choice .
That evening, Zhang Xiuying asked Wang Yao about the apartments in the town center . "I heard the construction has finished . "
"Yes, Sun Yunsheng came to visit me this morning . They've started to hand over keys to the residents," Wang Yao said .
"I heard a lot of people talking about it when I was out this morning . Some people have finished all the paperwork," Zhang Xiuying said .
"They simply can't wait," Wang Yao said .
The villagers wouldn't be in such a hurry to move out if there had not been a contagious disease outbreak .
"They are," Zhang Xiuying said .
"It has nothing to do with us," Wang Yao said .
Nanshan Hill was as quiet as usual at night .
Twitter! The little chickens were making an unsettling sound . San Xian got out of the dog house to check on them . He barked in gentle low voice . It was as if he was comforting them .
He got out of his comfortable dog house a number of times overnight to check on the chickens .
The temperature dropped by 10 degrees the next morning . The wind was chilly . Cold spring days were worse than winter since it didn't gradually become cold .
A car was driving fast on the highway .

"Professor, would you like to take a rest? I'll let you know when we arrive," a man in his 30s said .
"No, I'm fine," Professor Wu said as he looked through the window .
He actually was tired . He had been thinking about what Wang Yao said on the phone since yesterday . It sounded unbelievable, so he dropped everything and left for Lianshan immediately .
The car was driving smoothly on the highway . The assistant, who sat in the front passenger seat, didn't say much .
Professor Wu just looked through the window .
The trees had turn green, and the flowers were blooming .
He had too much work to do .
"Hmm . . . " He sighed .
The car entered the village .
"The village is no longer in quarantine?" Professor Wu asked .
The car stopped outside the clinic .
"You wait here," Professor Wu said .
"OK," his assistant said .
Professor Wu got out of the car with two baskets . In them were gifts he brought from Beijing .
"Who is Professor seeing today? He even brought gifts with him," his assistant asked .
Wang Yao was seeing a patient . "You just need to go back and rest properly . You'll be fine . "
"OK . Thank you, Yao," the patient said .
"See you later," Wang Yao said .
After seeing off the elderly villager, Wang Yao saw a familiar face . "Hello, you are so quick . Please come in . "
"I wished I had wings to fly here when I got your phone call," Professor Wu said with a smile .
"Have some tea," Wang Yao said .
"Thank you," Professor Wu said .
He really enjoyed the tea at Wang Yao's clinic . The tea smelled and tasted nice . Even a coffee person like him was in love with the green tea there .
"The tea tastes wonderful," Professor Wu said .
"I grew the tea leaves myself and asked an expert to fry it for me," Wang Yao said .
After having small chat for a bit, they began discussing the serious topic at hand .
"Let me show you the insects," Wang Yao said .
He took out the jar containing the insects he found on Xishan Hill .
"These ones?" Professor Wu took a close look .
"Yes," Wang Yao said .
Professor Wu's background was Western medicine . He studied biology at the university, but he was focused on microbiology . He had a limited knowledge of insects . However, he knew a few experts who had good knowledge of insects .
"Can I take the bugs with me?" Professor Wu asked .
"Of course . By the way, I've got something else . " Wang Yao took out another jar that contained a small mouse . The mouse was still alive, which really impressed Wang Yao .
"The mouse is from the same place?" Professor Wu asked .
"Yes, it was with the insects . To be honest, I was shocked when I saw it," Wang Yao said .
"Well, can I take another look on Xishan Hill?" Professor Wu asked .
"Of course," Wang Yao said .
