It was still raining . The ambiance felt harmonious .
After dinner, they went to Wang Yao’s clinic to have some tea .
“The tea is delicious!” Jia Zizai sighed .
“This tea is from Nanshan Hill . If you like it, you can take some back with you . ” Wang Yao took out a packet of tea without any packaging . Inside the packet was tea that had been dried and stir-fried by someone else . Although it did not have any exquisite packaging, the quality of the tea within it exceeded 99% of the tea that could be found on the market .
“Thank you, Sir . ” Jia Zizai was not shy about it and took the tea from Wang Yao .
He thought to himself, This is a good start!
The afternoon passed quietly amidst leisurely chats . The sky quietly darkened .
“Do you have some time this evening?” Jia Zizai asked .
“Well, yes, what’s the matter?” Wang Yao replied .
“I’d like to invite you to have dinner at our house,” Jia Zizai said .
Wang Yao thought for a moment before replying, “That sounds good!” He had nothing to do that night anyway .
“Can Liuchuan come along?”
“Sure,” Jia Zizai replied .
After agreed Wang Yao agreed, Jia Zizai and Hu Mei left and went home to prepare dinner .
“What does Sir like to eat?”
“Well, I’m not sure,” Jia Zizai replied . “Hmm, make it as plentiful as possible . ”
“Alright . ”
Jia Zizai went shopping for ingredients while Hu Mei began preparing at home . Their efforts resulted in a table full of dishes and two bottles of good wine .
“Alright, everything’s ready!”
In the evening, Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan came to their home one after another . The house’s decorations were cozy, simple, and elegant . The home was pleasant to look at and had a nice ambiance .
“Sir, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I prepared a few dishes . I hope you like them . ”
“It’s very plentiful, thank you,” Wang Yao said . Honestly, he did not have many demands regarding food and drinks . As long as it was filling and healthy, that was enough .
The four chatted and laughed . It seemed they were slowly getting closer to each other .
After dinner, Wang Yao went up Nanshan Hill like he normally did .
He stood in the herbal field and looked up at the sky . He thought, That’s strange . The sky looks a little weird today! He had never seen such a phenomenon before . Toward the southwest, there was a faint yellow . However, ordinary people could not see it . Even if they saw it, they would not think much of it .
Nothing strange is happening there, is it? Wang Yao wondered .
Hundreds of miles away, in the southwest portion of the country, there were strong winds, hail, and lightning . Loud crashes rang out as the hail rained down, damaging countless farmlands, trees, and grass . Some animals were killed by the hail . People who could not get out of the hail in time were injured . This sudden hail was said to be the worst one recorded in the city in decades . The relevant meteorological departments did not make a timely forecast .
The next morning, Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan practiced boxing on the mountain as they watched Jia Zizai jogging far away .
“Liuchuan, would you mind having another Junior?”
“That depends on how Sir feels,” Zhong Liuchuan said . He knew what Wang Yao’s thoughts were . He had probably already accepted Jia Zizai .
“Wait a little longer . ”
“Alright . ”
Due to the previous day’s rain, the weather quite cool .
That morning, three people came to the clinic . They were the ones who had visited a few days ago . The woman’s complexion was much better . Her face was ruddy . Her eyes were much brighter, and her steps were brisk .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . ”
This time, the attitude of the three people toward him was obviously more respectful than before .
In less than four days, a dose of medicine seemed to have completely changed the patient .
Facts spoke louder than words .
All their suspicions had been dispelled and replaced with admiration and conviction .
“Your complexion looks much better,” Wang Yao said .
“Yes, I feel as if my entire body has been changed,” the woman sincerely said . “The headache has become weaker, and I can fall asleep at night . The symptom of being thirsty is basically gone . Your medicine is amazing . ”
“You have not been thoroughly treated yet,” Wang Yao said . “Would you like to have two more doses of medicine?”
“Oh, yes!”
This time, they did not hesitate at all . They were not as reluctant as they were the last time .
“Just a moment . ”
The three people quietly waited . In another room, Wang Yao brewed the medicine .
“All done . ”
The medicine still cost the same price, but they happily paid for it .
“May I ask how long we need to stay here for, Dr . Wang?”
“We’ll see the effects after you have taken this medicine,” Wang Yao said . “If the effect is good, you can go back, rest, and come back later . ”
“OK, thank you . ”
The three of them left after taking the medicine . They all felt relieved .
“Well, our previous worries were superfluous,” the slightly younger man said .
Before they arrived, they were worried whether the doctor would hate them because they had been somewhat disrespectful the last time . As a result, they feared he would no longer treat them, which would be troublesome . After less than four days of treatment, they realized that the young doctor’s medical skills were as good as the rumors said . He could treat any illness . The woman’s illness was about to be cured . If all their efforts were to be wasted due to the last impolite act, they would have regrets and feel guilty, especially the old man .
“Should we wait here for another three days?”
“Yes . ”
The three returned to Lianshan county .
Wang Yao was alone in the clinic . When no patients arrived, he took out his cellphone and looked at the news . One piece of news immediately caught his attention . The previous night, hail had broken out in hundreds of miles away . The size of the hail was very large . It had done a lot of damage, especially to the glass windows and bodies of vehicles parked outdoors . Even more surprising was that there were more than a dozen people injured by the hail . They had been admitted to the hospital . One of them was seriously injured . The patient was still in the intensive care unit and not yet out of danger .
Lai State, southwest… Was that last night’s sky anomaly?
These things, which seemed to be out of line and completely unrelated to each other, were connected in Wang Yao’s mind .
He took out an unused book from the table and carefully recorded the sky anomaly . He drew a simple picture, which was not very beautiful, that he could understand .
Thousands of miles away, in a small county in southern Yunnan…
“What does this mean?” Guo Zhenghe looked at the report in front of him . He was angry .
The chief of police, who was standing in front of him, bowed his head and said nothing . His expression was bleak .
“In three days, 11 people have died . Tell me, how should I report this to the city? Take a look at the news on the Internet . It’s almost viral . I received a phone call from Governor Liu of the province just now, and he asked about it!”
For any place, so many casualties in such a short period of time would be a major event that needed to be solved as soon as possible . Moreover, those 11 people had been from the same village but the deaths happened in numerous places, including in the mountains, at residences, and in vehicles . To their utmost surprise, they had not found any clues to the cause .
“What did forensics say?”
“The autopsy is still in progress, but, so far, no abnormal signs have been found . ”
“No abnormal signs have been found, yet 11 people have died in a village, including men, women, old, and young . Are you telling me it’s a coincidence?”
“This…” The chief of police did not know how to answer the question . It was not a coincidence, no matter how they looked at this matter, but no clues had been found .
“You guys are so disappointing!”
