“Time is running out!” He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth .

He took a deep breath and stared at the dark sea . He let out a sigh, which was scattered and lost amidst the sound of the waves .
Dawn arrived, and a new day had begun .
In the mountain village, there were fewer patients than in the past two days . No one came at noon, so Wang Yao was able to go home for lunch .
“This is good,” Zhang Xiuying said as she served rice . “If there are too many people, you won’t even be able to eat . How can that work?”
“Skipping a few meals doesn’t matter,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“That’s not good either . ” She was still a mother who loved her son .
While they were eating, Wang Yao’s phone rang . It was Su Xiaoxue .
“Hello, Xiaoxue,” he said .
“Brother-in-law, it’s me . ” The voice of Su Zhixing came from the other end of the phone .
“What’s up?” Wang Yao asked .
“Where are you? Back home?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Yes, I’m at home eating,” Wang Yao replied .
“Is Uncle and Auntie there too?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Say hello to them for me,” Su Zhixing said .
“Sure, do you have anything else?” Wang Yao asked .
“Ah, there’s one more thing I want to ask of you,” Su Zhixing said .
“Tell me,” Wang Yao said .
“I have a comrade in arms who is seriously injured,” Su Zhixing said . “Can you treat him?”
“Where is he now?” Wang Yao asked .
“He’s still in the army hospital,” Su Zhixing said . “If you agree, I’ll tell him that he can go to the mountain village hospital to find you . ”

“Can you first find a way to send me a copy of his case so I can be prepared for it?” Wang Yao asked . “As for the time, they can come at any time . I don’t plan on going anywhere and will be in the clinic . ”
“I’ll tell them right away,” Su Zhixing said . “I’ll let you know in advance when the time is fixed . ”
“Was that Xiaoxue’s big brother?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
She had heard the conversation between the two of them, including Su Zhixing’s greeting of “brother-in-law . ” That meant that Su Xiaoxue’s family recognized her son, which made her very happy .
“Yes, one of his comrades was injured,” Wang Yao said . “He wants to come over for treatment . ”
“Treat the soldiers first,” Wang Fenghua said .
“Yes, I think the same way,” Wang Yao said .
Although he operated on a first-come-first-served basis, he had to prioritize by severity . Among those would be some special cases, such as those who were seriously ill, the elderly, weak, women and children, and respectable soldiers .
“Finish eating first,” his mother said .
“Yes, I will,” he said .
In Jing, Su Zhixing was in the ward .
“Did he agree?” a man asked .
“Yes, he asked to have a look at the case first,” Su Zhixing said . “You’ll be able to see him at any time . In fact, I can ask him to come out for treatment . ”
“It’s OK,” the man said . “He happens to be near Qi province, so it’s not too far away for me to go there . You also said that he has a more complete set of medicinal ingredients in his clinic, so it’s better to go there . ”
“Please send him a copy of the case as soon as possible,” Su Zhixing said .
“I’ll have someone do it right away,” the man said . “By the way, when does his clinic close? I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the case today . ”
“Just arrange for someone to deliver it,” Su Zhixing said . “I’ll call him then . ”
In the mountain village, the sun had already set behind the mountain . Another day had passed .
Wang Yao was not in a hurry to leave . He was waiting for someone . Su Zhixing had told him that someone would be sending the case file of the wounded soldier and asked him to wait there .
Around 6 p . m . , he heard cars outside . Soon, there was a knock on the door .
“Come in, please!” Wang Yao called out from inside
The soldier who knocked at the door whispered to himself, What a clear voice! He pushed the door and entered . The layout of the yard was very dainty and exquisite . Mmm, it’s a beautiful little yard .

Upon entering the room, he saw a young man with a clean appearance . He seemed to be in his 20s, a few years younger than himself .
“Hello, are you Dr . Wang Yao?” the soldier asked .
“Yes, that is me,” Wang Yao said . “Do you have the case file?”
“Here it is . Please have a look . ” The soldier handed the file envelope in his hands over .
Wang Yao took the envelope and pulled the information out for a look . The soldier had suffered a gunshot wound . The injury was in a lung . The bullet had pierced it . The injury was very serious . The key problem was that the bullet seemed to be poisonous and had spread to other parts .
“Three days?” Wang Yao’s brows furrowed slightly . “When will he arrive?”
“He’s on the way to the hospital and will arrive by tomorrow morning,” the soldier replied .
“In that case, I’ll keep the files,” Wang Yao said . “You can go back now . ”
“Yes, thank you!” The soldier saluted him .
“You’re welcome . ” Wang Yao got up and walked the soldier out .
After returning home, he called Su Zhixing again .
“Did you get the files?” Su Zhixing asked .
“Yes, I received them,” Wang Yao said . “Was this wounded soldier on a similar mission as you?”
“Yes, it was most likely the same enemy,” Su Zhixing said . “Six soldiers were sacrificed during the mission . One of them was seriously injured, which is the case you took . They heard that all our toxins had been neutralized by you, so they wanted to ask you for help . ”
“I see,” Wang Yao said .
“Please help,” Su Zhixing said in a grave and serious tone .
“As long as there is a breath, I can save his life,” Wang Yao quietly said .
“Thank you,” Su Zhixing said .
After Su Zhixing hung up the phone, he turned to a man in his 30s, who was in a military uniform standing beside him, “Did you hear that?”
“Yes, thank you,” the man in the uniform said .
“You’re welcome,” Su Zhixing said . “Let’s hurry up and get him to the clinic . ”
The man in the uniform left .

Su Zhixing thought, As long as there is a breath, he can save his life . Tsk tsk tsk, how arrogant, but I like it!
In the clinic, Wang Yao took out his cellphone and made a Weibo post .
[I have something going on tomorrow . The clinic will be closed and will not receive patients . ]
He had set aside a day, especially for the arriving soldier .
That night on Nanshan Hill, the lights dimly glowed . Firewood was burning, making a crackling sound .
Wang Yao was brewing medicine . He as preparing antidote powder and regathering soup . He would use them on the soldier the next day .
He looked up at the sky and thought, I’m afraid that it’s going to rain tomorrow .
The next morning, the sky was gloomy . The air was stuffy and uncomfortable, but the weather was a little better in the village .
Around 9 a . m . , an army Jeep and medical vehicle entered the village .
“Why are there army vehicles arriving?” a villager asked .
“Could they be looking for Wang Yao?” another villager asked .
Under the eyes of several villagers, the two vehicles stopped outside the clinic .
“It’s true!” a villager exclaimed .
Two officers got out of the Jeep and entered the clinic .
“Hello, Dr . Wang, my name is Cheng Haidong,” an officer said .
“Hello, where’s the patient?” Wang Yao asked .
“Outside,” Cheng Haidong replied . “Are you ready?”
“Yes, bring him in,” Wang Yao said .
After a while, the patient was carried in, followed by two medical staff members . IV drips were hanging in the air . The medical staff members looked at Wang Yao with suspicious eyes .
After they had heard that the critically ill soldier was going to be transferred to another hospital, they disagreed with the decision because the soldier’s situation was very critical . It was likely that there would be uncontrollable accidents in the process of transferring him to another facility, which would endanger his life, but the higher-ups insisted on it . They had also received instructions from hospital leaders to fully cooperate .
They had thought the soldier would be transferred to a big hospital in Beijing or Shanghai . They hadn’t expected to come to a small mountain village and meet such a young doctor .
They couldn’t help but think, Is this a joke? What are these people thinking? Have their brains gone haywire?
Wang Yao gently inspected the soldier’s gunshot wounds, which were inflamed and festering . His body and face were black, and his breathing was light as the wind .
“It’s critical,” Wang Yao said .
“Of course, it’s critical,” a young nurse grumpily said .
“Xiao Li!” Cheng Haidong gave the nurse a serious look
“No worries . ” Wang Yao smiled and waved his hand . “Let’s detoxify him first . ”
He took out the prepared antidote powder and gave it to the soldier . Next, he carefully looked at the wound . He looked up at the people in the room and said, “All of you, please go out . ”
“Huh?!” The people in the room, especially the accompanying military doctor and nurse, were stunned .
“Get out . I’m going to give him a special treatment,” Wang Yao said .
All the people were looking at Cheng Haidong . “Go,” he said as he led the way out . He turned back and solemnly said, “Dr . Wang, please save him . ”
He had a great deal to do with this trip, and his leaders had also taken great risks . If something went wrong, it would be big trouble .
“Don’t worry . ” Wang Yao smiled . He was confident and calm .
All the people left the room, even though the military doctor and nurse were obviously unwilling . They went straight out into the yard .
After coming out, the young nurse couldn’t help but ask, “Captain Cheng, aren’t you worried? He’s so young! How can he possess any superb medical skills? This is a joke!”
“Su Zhixing and Meng Wushuang were saved by him . ” Cheng Haidong’s simple words stunned the young nurse .
“They weren’t hurt that badly,” the nurse said . “This soldier had his lung pierced, and the bullets were highly toxic . ”
“Silence . ” Cheng Haidong’s rendered everyone silent .
The nurse was still pouting .
In the clinic, Wang Yao had a small box in his hand . After opening it, there was a black jade-like ointment that emitted a unique fragrance . Ointment for continuing life could mend any defects .
He took a small scoop with his finger and dabbed it on the wounded soldier’s wound . The medicine was absorbed by the body near the trauma at a speed invisible to the naked eye . It disappeared in the blink of an eye .
Wang Yao turned and flipped his hands like two flying swallows . He quickly massaged and patted the soldier’s body . In a short time, he had stimulated dozens of acupoints of several major blood vessels .
