Chapter 845: 845
The woman looked at the movie poster outside . She suddenly suggested, “Shall we go in and see a movie?”

“Sure,” the man said with a smile .
“We haven’t watched a movie together for a long time . ”
Because the woman was in poor health and had frequent headaches, they could not go to noisy places . Otherwise, it would aggravate her headache and other physical symptoms .
The two entered the cinema . Instead of going to an action blockbuster, they chose a more tender, urban, and light comedy . Although it was full, it was quiet in the small cinema . Most of the people were couples .
The movie soon began to play . There were new, eye-catching actors, but it had an old plot . It was the kind of movie in which one could guess the ending after only watching the first 10 minutes . Still, the two of them enjoyed watching it . Watching the movie was secondary . The main point of enjoyment was the atmosphere .
Their hands were clasped together . The woman gently leaned her head on the man’s shoulder . They looked very loving .
In the hotel, the slightly older man with whom they were traveling smoked heavily . He seemed unhappy .
“I shall go shopping!” He roughly threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and trampled the flame out . He picked up his coat and went out the door .
After he had wandered around the town, he couldn’t help but complain about it . “What kind of small town is this? There is not even a decent place!” Compared with his hometown, Lianshan’s town center was much smaller and underdeveloped .
However, small towns had their advantages .
The pace of life was slower, and there was less to stress about like in a big city .
In the mountain village, Wang Yao had a special guest .
It was Guo Sirou .
“I haven’t seen you for some time . What are you busy with these days?” Wang Yao made a cup of tea for her . She had lost a lot of weight, but she was still very beautiful .
“I was mainly abroad . I went to all the places I could, including Europe, Africa, and America . ”
“That sounds good,” Wang Yao replied .
“Yes, I’ve seen a lot, met a lot of friends, and thought through a lot of things,” Guo Sirou said with a smile .
“You’ve gotten thinner but more energetic,” Wang Yao remarked .

As the saying went, reading 10,000 books was not as good as walking 10,000 miles . A person gained experience from traveling . It provided the opportunity to meet more people, which often led to finding more places to go . People who took trips gained a broader sense of knowledge than those who stayed at home and didn’t go anywhere .
“There’s something more, Sir,” Guo Sirou said .
“Oh, what is it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Well, it’s a mysterious aura, a secular aura . ” The two things Guo Sirou said didn’t seem to match .
“Your eyes are sharp and see through things clearly,” Wang Yao said . “Indeed, I have traveled quite often recently . ”
“Has your matter with Xiaoxue been fixed?”
“Yes, it’s basically settled . After she graduates, we’ll get married . ”
“Please let me know when!”
“For sure . ”
Guo Sirou was different from her calculating brother . She was a frank woman . One could see in her a kind of ease and confidence rarely seen in men . If she were a man, she would be countless times better than her brother, who kept causing trouble .
“Mmm, good tea!” Guo Sirou exclaimed .
“Is this the Da Hong Pao tea of Wuyi Mountain?”
“Yes, it is,” Wang Yao replied .
“Sir, you have many treasures!”
“It was a gift . ”
The two of them were like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time . They chatted about a lot of things for a long time . Wang Yao could see that Guo Sirou didn’t seem to be particularly happy . She had something weighing her down .
“Do you have something troubling you?”
“Yes, marriage . ”

“Oh, do you have someone you like?” Wang Yao asked .
“Not for the moment, but my family has arranged the marriage for me,” Guo Sirou said . This marriage had been arranged for a long time . At that time, she was young and didn’t know what marriage was, so she had not worried about it . Now that she was at the age to discuss marriage, her family naturally brought up the matter . Although the old people from the two families who had decided on the marriage were no longer around, the matter still needed to be done .
The problem was that Guo Sirou did not like the man at all .
“I don’t like him . ”
“Then don’t marry him . Wait and see,” Wang Yao said .
“I think so too, but my family does not agree,” Guo Sirou said .
She had been born into a rich family and enjoyed the life that ordinary people couldn’t enjoy . Naturally, she would have to give up some things .
A marriage alliance was common in families like theirs .
It didn’t matter if there were no feelings involved . The thought was they could be slowly cultivated .
Love was sometimes unrealistic .
This was the mindset of the elders . They would tell the young people this, especially those who had romantic thoughts, according to their experience .
“That makes it a little more troublesome,” Wang Yao said .
Guo Sirou and Su Xiaoxue did not face the same situation . Su Xiaoxue’s parents just wanted their daughter to be happy . As for who she was going to marry, they would not interfere much as long as they liked the person and, of course, the necessary checks were completed . They couldn’t let their daughter marry someone unreliable .
“Did you talk to your parents about it?”
“I have told them,” Guo Sirou said . “It is very annoying . My parents used the parents’ orders and matchmakers’ advice to pressure me . It’s the same old pattern . ” That was also why she had decided to travel . She wanted to avoid the marriage discussion and show them how she felt .
“What is that man like?” Wang Yao asked .
“He’s fine . His reputation is quite good,” Guo Sirou said .
She had inquired about the man whom she was supposed to marry . He was a man of humility and not a scheming and cunning man . This attribute was quite good .

“You could try and get to know him,” Wang Yao suggested .
“Mmm . ” Guo Sirou sipped her tea .
“I’m leaving . ”
“So fast?” Wang Yao asked . “Stay and have a meal . ”
“No thanks, I just stopped to see you and talk to you . ”
Guo Sirou smiled . She and Wang Yao were not that close . Their relationship was an ordinary friendship . She didn’t know why, but after returning home, she subconsciously came to the small mountain village to talk to Wang Yao . She somehow talked about the troubles in her heart as if they were good friends who had known each other for years .
“Have a safe journey . ”
“Alright, go back in . ”
“Come visit when you have time . ”
“Sure!”
“Oh, wait . ”
Wang Yao stopped Guo Sirou . He returned to the room and took out a bag .
“This is the fruit I planted on the mountain . It tastes quite good . There is also a bag of tea . I planted the tea myself too . Take it with you . ”
“OK, thank you . ”
Wang Yao stood at the south end of the village and watched Guo Sirou leave .
“Tss… Hey, look at that girl! Isn’t she beautiful?”
“What are you thinking of?”
“She came out of Sir’s clinic, and Sir stood there to watch her leave . Do you think Sir…” Jia Zizai leaned against the wall and scratched his chin with a thoughtful expression .
“Jia Zizai!” Hu Mei grabbed him by the ear .
“Ouch, ouch, that hurts . My wife, take it easy . ”
“Are you bored? Is that why you have so many idle thoughts, especially about Sir’s business?”
“No, I am just curious!”
“Hurry up and deal with the poison master’s body . ”
“Roger that . ”
That night, a car took advantage of the dark and drove out of the village . Its destination was unknown .
In the morning, the sun rose as usual .
Pan Jun didn’t go to work . He came to Wang Yao’s clinic to help him out . Wang Yao began to teach him how to identify various kinds of Chinese herbal medicinal ingredients . He started from the most commonly used ones . It was difficult for people like Pan Jun, who had studied Western medicine and did not have much herbal medicine knowledge .
“Don’t worry . These herbs have their own characteristics . They are different in shape, color, and taste . ” Wang Yao’s tone was calm . It unconsciously made people relax .
“Remember the common ones first . ”
The herbs needed to be correctly remembered . If they used the wrong ingredient, not only would they not be able to cure the disease, but they might also aggravate the disease or cause death .
Around 1 p . m . , Pan Jun felt his head bursting with knowledge .
“Let’s go eat . ”
On their way to eat, they called Zhong Liuchuan . They had wanted to invite Jia Zizai and Hu Mei, but they had gone out and were not home .
