“I’ll have to trouble you then,” the woman said . “I’ll leave now . ”
“Did you come by yourself?” Song Ruiping asked .
“A driver is waiting outside,” the woman said .
“Alright, walk slowly,” Song Ruiping said .
The pregnant woman got up and walked out slowly .
“Ah, that child!” Song Ruiping sighed .
“Madame, her body probably does not allow her to have children, right?” Chu Lian softly asked .
“Yes, she is in bad health and has a bad heart,” Song Ruiping said . “She has had two miscarriages already . She has seen many doctors . All of them recommended her to not have children . She’s pregnant again now, and look at that face of hers . ”
“Is Xiaoxue still in Lianshan?” Chu Lian asked .
“Yes,” Song Ruiping said . “I’ll give her a call . It would be best if Wang Yao could come . Since she is finally with child, it would be best if she could keep it . ” She called her daughter after that .
“OK, I got it, Mom . ” After hanging up, Su Xiaoxue told Wang Yao about the woman’s situation .
“Poor health and a bad heart?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, I remember hearing from my mother that this cousin of mine seems to have congenital heart disease . She has had two major operations, so her health is very poor . ” Regarding this cousin, Su Xiaoxue’s impression of her was that she had been ill since childhood and had a poor spirit .
“Well, when are you going back?” Wang Yao asked . “I’ll go with you . ”
“Sure,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Thousands of miles away, north of the Great Wall, the wind was strong . The sand was whirling around .
Among the Singing Sang were famous caves and Buddha statues . There was an endless stream of visitors every year . Wisps of smoke rose from the desert . It looked very magnificent . However, the climate there was very bad . It was windy, sandy and dry . It was fine if someone were to stay for a day or two when traveling, but most people chose not to live there .
As the sun was setting, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap arrived in the county . His face was slightly dark .
In an ordinary residential area…

He came to the door of a house and rang the doorbell .
“Who is it?” A man’s slightly hoarse voice sounded from inside . With a click, the door opened, but it didn’t fully open . He just opened it a crack . Through the crack, he could see a dark and narrow face . The man’s eyes were slightly yellow, and he had bushy brows .
“You are here,” the middle-aged man said .
“Is it you?” The other man was shocked .
He hesitated for a moment before opening the door wide and letting the man in .
The man outside the door took off his hat after entering the room and looked at the layout of the room . It was a small room . It looked to be about less than a square meter in size . It had two bedrooms and a living room . The furnishings inside were simple . Some were even old and worn . There was a special scent in the house . It was a Chinese medicine scent .
“The house is not big enough,” the middle-aged man said .
“It is enough for one person,” the owner of the house said .
He didn’t make tea . Instead, he just gave his guest a glass of water .
“I thought you were dead,” he said .
“I thought I would die as well, but God did not accept me and I survived . ” The middle-aged man took a drink of the water . “The water doesn’t taste good!”
“The mineral content is higher, so it is a little odd,” the other man said .
“Why did you choose such a place?” the middle-aged man asked . “The climate is bad, and the location is remote . ”
“I like this kind of weather,” the man said . “You know that there are some problems with my body . The climate here is nice . It can alleviate the problems . ”
“Have you not recovered yet?” the middle-aged man asked .
“I won’t be able to recover,” the man said . “I shall just drag on and live one day at a time . ”
“Look at what this is!” The middle-aged man took out a small vacuum-packed plastic bag from his carry-on bag . There was a flower in it . It was crimson red like blood .
“That is… It’s a Blood Orchid!” When the owner of the house saw the flower, he instantly shot up . “Does it really exist?”
“Take a look at it,” the middle-aged man said .

The owner of the house carefully opened the bag . He took a whiff of the flower’s scent . He tore off a piece and placed it in his mouth . He chewed it carefully for a while before swallowing it .
“Good stuff, this is good stuff!” After a long time, he sighed as his mood gradually settled down . “Where did you find it?”
“A secret place in southern Yunnan,” the middle-aged man said .
“Are you able to live to this day because of this flower?” the other man asked .
“Yes, it’s all thanks to it,” the middle-aged man said .
“Your face is pale and blue, which means that the toxins in your body have not been completely dissolved yet,” the man said . “This flower might be able to save your life temporarily, but it may not be able to save your life in the long run!”
“Not necessarily . I don’t think I have any problems,” the middle-aged man said .
“Oh?”
“Look at this . ” The middle-aged man held out his hand .
The owner of the house put his hand on his wrist and only moved away after a while .
“This is unbelievable!” the owner of the house exclaimed in surprise . “This poison has already become a part of your body . Not only is it harmless, but it is also beneficial to you!”
“I’ve experimented,” the middle-aged man said . “Those poisonous insects and toxins don’t have any effect on me . I’m immune to all poisons now . ”
“Hha, you are a poisonous person now,” the other man said . “If something were to bite you, it would probably be the ones who would get poisoned . ” Cough! Cough! The owner of the house started coughing .
“I only brought this much . ” The middle-aged man took a box out of his bag and placed it on the table . He opened the lid . Inside the box were dozens of Blood Orchids preserved by ice .
The owner of the house stared at the dozens of flowers . After a long silence, he asked, “What do you want to do?”
He had traveled thousands of miles with such precious things . His motives could not be as simple as wanting to visit an old friend . Besides, they were not friends at all . They were just making use of each other .
“It’s too windy and dusty here,” the middle-aged man said . “Would you like to live in another place?”
The dark-faced middle-aged man stared at him .
“I’m tired,” the other man said . “I don’t want to run around anymore . ”

The middle-aged man looked around the room again .
“Don’t you want to take revenge for what happened back then?” he asked .
“How can I possibly get revenge?” the man asked . “You are a poisonous person now . Can you fight against them? Putting the others aside, that person would be able to kill the two of us with only one finger . ”
“There’s no rush,” the middle-aged man said . “Think about it . ”
“Take this away . ” The owner of the house pushed the box on the table back to him .
“Keep it,” the middle-aged man said . “Brew it with water to drink . It tastes quite good . ”
He got up and left without looking back .
The wind was still blowing fiercely outside .
In the house, the man stared at the Blood Orchids on the table .
Tut, sigh, I almost agreed!
Whoosh! There was a strong gust of wind outside . It seemed as if sand and stone were hitting against the glass, making a crisp sound .
It looks like he doesn’t want to leave this place!
The middle-aged man went downstairs with his baseball cap and looked up . The man in the house was looking at him through the glass window .
A gust of wind swept the dust up .
“Think about it carefully . ” He turned and left . His back looked lonely .
With just a figure and a shadow to accompany him, he was like a lone wolf .
Thousands of miles away in Lianshan County, the sky was azure, and the air was fresh .
“Why? Are you going out again?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Yes, Xiaoxue is going back to Jing,” Wang Yao said . “I’ll take her back and visit a patient on the way . ”
“That’s good, accompany Xiaoxue more . Don’t hurry to come back,” Zhang Xiuying said with a smile . Her daughter had been married, so that matter was dealt with and settled . Now, she hoped that her son could get married as soon as possible and a grandson would soon arrive .
“You don’t have to worry about things at home,” she said . “There’s your father and me . ”
“Alright, sure,” Wang Yao said .
After Du Mingyang took Wang Ru home to visit his relatives, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue went to Jing .
It was noon when they got off the plane .
“I’m famished,” Su Xiaoxue said . “Shall we find a place to eat?”
“Sure,” Wang Yao said .
“Let’s go . I’ll take you to a place,” Su Xiaoxue said .
They took a taxi to an old house with a courtyard house . There were no signs . After they went in, they realized there was something different . The old courtyard was simply decorated . Authentic specialty dishes were being served .
They ordered a few specialty dishes and a bottle of wine .
“I know you don’t like drinking, but this is their homemade rice wine,” Su Xiaoxue said . “I heard that it’s good . Sir, try it . ”
“OK, I’ll try it,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
The wine had a sweet taste and low-alcohol content . Girls probably liked it very much . For example, Su Xiaoxue . She poured herself a drink . After two sips, her face had already turned crimson .
“Is it good?”
“Yes, it’s quite good . ”
After the meal, the two of them strolled along the old alley .
