“Southern Yunnan?” Wang Yao murmured .
He documented the man’s case in detail . The worms inside his body were rare . They were different than the worms inside Wei Hai’s body . Wei Hai became infected because he used to eat a lot of raw seafood . The worms inside this man’s body might well and truly be poisonous .
“It looks like the so-called poisonous worms do exist over there,” Wang Yao said .
After leaving the clinic, the man went to Lianshan’s town center . He checked into a hotel and hesitantly poured out part of the decoction . He found a bottle to put part of the decoction in and drank the rest .
“I hope it works,” the man said .
He had come with hope . Soon, he started to feel stomach pain, which was quite bad .
“What’s going on? The pain is back!” The man groaned .
He rushed to the toilet but didn’t pass out anything . He only felt pain, bad pain . He thought about Wang Yao’s words . He had told him he might feel stomach pain after taking the decoction .
Is this it? It’s too painful!
He clenched his teeth . His body was shaking, and he was profusely sweating . After a while, the pain reached its peak . He curled up in the bed like a shrimp .
Should I go to the hospital? Why didn’t I grab the doctor’s contact number? No! I need to find the doctor!
He tried to put up with the pain and got out of bed . As soon as he was about to leave the room, he had the urge to go to the bathroom . He stopped and ran to the toilet .
As soon as he took off his pants, he started to have diarrhea . It was so bad that he couldn’t stop it . He almost soiled his pants . Suddenly, the whole bathroom was full of an unpleasant odor .
This is awful!
He tried to put up with the pain . At last, he was passing water .
“Dear me!” He felt weak when he walked out of the bathroom .
He had passed out a large number of dead worms . He checked the worms as he held his breath . The worms looked different from the ones he passed out before because they were all dead .
The miasma grass could get rid of any poisonous insects or worms . It wouldn’t leave any worms alive .
“I feel much better now,” the man murmured .
The pain in his stomach was significantly reduced since passing out all the worms . He smelled awful, but he didn’t care . He went to lie down on the bed . He needed a rest . The anxiety, fear, and long trip had exhausted him .
He soon fell asleep and didn’t wake up until later that night . He woke up because of the pain in his stomach . He rushed to the bathroom again . He had another episode of diarrhea . It was 10 p . m . when he came out of the bathroom .
He ate something, waited for a while, and had some more of the decoction . Afterward, he laid down again and slept until the next morning .
He was awoken by bright sunshine . He pushed himself up with his arms . He was still tired and felt heavy, which was common after bad diarrhea . He had also vomited .
Since he hadn’t eaten properly in the past few days and had been living in panic due to the poisonous worms, he felt exhausted . I should get something to eat .
He went into the bathroom to wash his face . He looked pale in the mirror . He told himself, “Hold on!”
Breakfast was provided by the hotel . He felt much better after eating something, so he ate more . He hadn’t had a proper meal for many days . He had vomited whatever he ate . He hadn’t had an appetite at all on his way to Lianshan .
He felt stronger after breakfast . He went back to his room and sat in front of the window . He looked through the window at the unfamiliar city in the north .
I’m not sure what’s happening at my house, the man thought .
Meanwhile, in the village, Zhong Liuchuan was talking to Jia Zizai .
“How are you doing?” Zhong Liuchuan asked with a smile .
Jia Zizai was tied up . “I don’t want to talk to you . ”
“You sound well,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “Why don’t you continue to pretend?”
He had a notebook in his hand . He had been documenting Jia Zizai’s progress for the past 20 hours, from initial weakness to gradual recovery, in detail .
“What’s the name of the decoction your Dr . Wang made?” Jia Zizai asked .
“Muscle Softening Powder,” Zhong Liuchuan replied .
“Hmm, nice name,” Jia Zizai said . “Can you pass me a cigarette?”
Zhong Liuchuan gave him a lit cigarette .
“Thank you,” Jia Zizai said .
“You are welcome,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Can we have a chat?” Jia Zizai asked .
“Spit it out, but don’t ask me to let you go,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“I’m not asking you to release me,” Jia Zizai said . “Can you talk to Dr . Wang and tell him I also want him to teach me kung fu?”
“What?” Zhong Liuchuan was shocked and thought, Are you kidding me?
“I’m not joking . I mean it,” Jia Zizai said . “I like this village and want to settle down here . ”
“Alright, wait, let me ask you something,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
Jia Zizai didn’t say anything . He was just quietly smoking .
“Are you one of the board members?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“Yes,” Jia Zizai answered .
Their company was strange . The core of the company was formed by a few board members in charge of different things . When they needed to decide on something important, they would meet together and vote . They did it formally . Therefore, all the board members had high authority in the company .
“Well, I don’t have the power you think I have, and not everyone gets along with everyone,” Jia Zizai said . “Look, I’ve been missing for days, and no one from the company came to look for me . Maybe they all wanted me to disappear so they can appoint a new board member . ”
“Nonsense,” Zhong Liuchuan said . “Do you think I know nothing about the company? You know too much . I got myself into this trouble because I saw something I was not supposed to see by accident . You know way more than I do . Do you think they will allow you to retire unless you are dead?”
“I’m sick and tired of my job,” Jia Zizai said “I’m sick of killing people . I think it would be nice to sit in a courtyard and enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day, just like what I’m doing now . ”
“Well, on to the second point . I heard you have at least eight mistresses,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“That’s not true! Absolutely not true,” Jia Zizai said .
“Isn’t one of them another board member?” Zhong Liuchuan asked .
“Well, unfortunately, you are right,” Jia Zizai said with a sigh .
Zhong Liuchuan continued, “My third point…”
“How many more points do you have?” Jia Zizai asked .
“This is the most important point . I don’t think Dr . Wang will accept you as a student,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“How come I didn’t consider you an interesting person before?” Jia Zizai asked as he took a puff off his cigarette . He looked dispirited .
Wang Yao suddenly came in .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Hi, Liuchuan, you are here too,” Wang Yao said . “Mr . Jia, how are you feeling?”
He had dropped by several times in the past few days to observe the effect of the Muscle Softening Powder .
“Not too bad . I still have some strength,” said Jia Zizai, who was very cooperative .
“Are you still happy with your life here?” Wang Yao asked .
“Are you mocking me?” Jia Zizai turned his head to look at him .
“I’m still thinking about how to sort you out,” Wang Yao said . “If I let you go, you will be big trouble for me . I heard it from Liuchuan that people from your company tend to bear grudges toward people who offend them . However, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to keep you here for too long . I think the best way is to get rid of you without anyone knowing . ”
“Have you ever killed anyone?” Jia Zizai calmly asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Can I ask what made you kill?” Jia Zizai asked .
“They threatened my family,” Wang Yao replied .
“I see,” Jia Zizai said . “I know you probably won’t take my words seriously, however, I still want to tell you that if you let me go, people from my company will not come to take revenge on you . I will kill anyone who causes you trouble . ”
“Let me think about it,” Wang Yao said as he stood up .
He and Zhong Liuchuan left the room .
“Dr . Wang, I think the effect of the Muscle Softening Powder is fading,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“You are right,” Wang Yao replied . “It’s almost gone . ”
“I’m afraid the rope won’t stop him from getting out . ” Zhong Liuchuan knew Jia Zizai well . Let alone a rope, people like him could escape from jail with strong security .
