It was getting colder . It was so cold that one could even see one’s breath when exhaling .

When they saw Wang Yao, they quickly greeted him . “Hello, Mr . Wang . ”
“Are you going to the mountain?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . ”
“OK, have a nice day . ”
Wang Yao turned and walked toward his home . Just as he reached the door, he saw a car speed by and head south of the village .
He thought, Are they here to see a doctor?
Once the car stopped, a man jumped out of the car . Next, a woman carrying a child got out . She had an anxious look on her face . Wang Yao hurriedly turned around . Although his pace was not fast, he was soon at the clinic .
“How come it’s closed?”
The man and woman were sweating profusely .
“What’s wrong with the child?” Wang Yao asked . The child’s face was slightly blue .
“He choked while eating . ”
“Let me check,” Wang Yao said .
He closely looked at the child and patted on his back twice in succession . The child spit out a ball of food and began to cry .
Wang Yao glanced down and found saw the child had eaten peanuts . He said, “The child is too young to eat this kind of food . ”
“Hey, we didn’t want him to . He stuffed it in his mouth while we were not paying attention . ”
Wang Yao looked at the child again . After confirming that the child had no other problems, he said to the couple, “It’s OK . You can go home . ”
“Thank you so much . ”
“You are welcome,” Wang Yao replied . “You must pay more attention . ”
“Thank you . How much is it?”
“Forget it . ” Wang Yao waved his hand as he turned and walked toward his house .
The man stopped to thank him again as he drove past him . “Thank you . ”
“You are welcome,” Wang Yao replied . “Have a safe journey!”
He slowly returned home .
“You came back . ” Zhang Xiuying was preparing dinner .

“Mom, what do you need me to do?” Wang Yao asked .
“It’s OK, just go back to the room,” his mother said . “It will only be the two of us tonight . ”
“Where is Dad?” Wang Yao asked .
“He went out for a drink,” his mother said .
They had dinner and stayed in the house to watch TV . At around 8 p . m . , Wang Fenghua returned home . He had the heavy smell of tobacco and alcohol .
“Dad, how many drinks did you have?” Wang Yao asked .
“More than three glasses, maybe even a bottle of wine . ” Wang Fenghua laughed .
“Wait a minute, I’ll bring you some water . ” After his father ate his dinner, Wang Yao brought him a hangover soup he had cooked already . It could be used to protect the stomach and liver .
“I heard that two more people moved out of the village,” Wang Fenghua said as he sipped his soup .
“Who was it?” Wang Yao asked .
“Brother Mao Sheng’s family,” Wang Fenghua said .
“Oh,” Zhang Xiuying said with a sigh .
“Someone bought two houses, and they have already been renovated,” Wang Fenghua said . “Xiao Yao, do you know them?”
“Well, it was Zheng Weijun who started the pharmaceutical factory with me . You have met him,” Wang Yao said .
“Hmm… Is he rich?” his father asked .
“Of course . He is not just commonly rich . He is crazy rich,” Wang Yao said .
“The rich man’s mind is different from us,” Zhang Xiuying said . “Villagers want to move out, yet others want to move in . ”
“There will be more people coming later, but there are some people who can’t come here even if they want,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“Who would like to come here?” his mother asked .
“I can’t say,” Wang Yao said .
No one was allowed to get any piece of land to build a house in the village . They could only renovate established houses based on their original condition . The number of new houses was limited .
He spoke with his parents until around 9 p . m . He left and went to Nanshan Mountain .
Nothing happened overnight .
In the morning, the father of the child Wang Yao treated the day before came to the clinic . He brought a pennant with the words “Another Hua Tuo with holy hands and heart” on it .

The man specially customized the pennant to express his gratitude to Wang Yao .
“Thank you . ”
Wang Yao smiled and took the pennant .
In the morning, Zhong Liuchuan suddenly came to the clinic .
“Sir, I have encountered a problem while practicing,” he said .
“What is the problem?” Wang Yao asked .
Zhong Liuchuan told him about the confusion he encountered the past few days, which was a typical bottleneck . No matter how he practiced, there was no improvement .
“Are you in a hurry?” Wang Yao asked .
“It is not necessary to be in a hurry . ” Zhong Liuchuan immediately understood his meaning . “Sir, sorry to disturb you . ”
“Read more about the Taoist scripture,” Wang Yao said .
“I see, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
In southern Yunnan, thousands of miles away…
“The news came with such short notice!”
“I didn’t want you to be concerned, so I wanted to tell you first . ” Xu Xinyuan looked at the seasoned man seated in front of him . He didn’t know why the young man had come across such a force .
“OK, go ahead, please,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“The place really exists,” Xu Xinyuan said . “It’s just south of Yunnan . The location is very remote . It is in a forest . The road is rugged, and it has a very closed village . They are exclusive to outsiders . We tried to get closer to it . As a result, we found that they even deploy hidden watchmen in the peripheral jungle . ”
“They are good at poisoning, aren’t they?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“According to what I know, they are extremely good at poison and raising poisonous insects,” Xu Xinyuan said .
He thought for a moment and said, “I don’t want you to have any interaction with them because they are too dangerous . ”
According to the data from the past few days, the village had existed for hundreds of years, perhaps even longer . There were even legends in the current generation . As for such hidden schools or villages, he had always been reluctant to come into contact with them .
They had existed for a long time, so they naturally had some means and history .
“I don’t want to, but they came at me first,” Guo Zhenghe said with a smile .
“The latest autopsy report shows that the same unknown toxin was found in the bodies of the 11 people . It is very weak, but it does exist,” he added . The reason it was not detected before was that the detection methods and equipment in the city were limited .

“What do you want to do?” Xu Xinyuan asked .
“Are there any of them outside the village?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“I’m still making inquiries about that, but they are too closed,” Xu Xinyuan said .
“If you know any of them, contact them first,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Will do . ”
Xu Xinyuan left after drinking a cup of tea .
Valley of Thousands of Medicine… Hidden world… Hmm… Guo Zhenghe squinted his eyes, thinking about something . No one knew what it was .
The setting sun was infinitely beautiful as dusk approached .
That evening, a car with a foreign license plate number entered the mountain village .
“Is this the place?”
“Yes, here it is . ”
A man in a suit, who was wearing glasses, knocked on the door as he entered the clinic .
Knowing the other party’s intention, Wang Yao said, “Sorry, I have no plan to go out on home visits . ”
“We can discuss the payment if you are not satisfied,” the man said . “This patient’s situation is a bit special, and he really cannot move . ”
“I already said no,” Wang Yao calmly said .
“If you have any requirements, you can tell me,” the man said . “As long as I can meet them, I will try my best . ”
Wang Yao just silently waved his hand .
The man left the clinic full of disappointment and got into the car .
“How was it?” a man, who was in his 40s and sitting in the back seat, asked .
“Sorry, he is unwilling to come to go out on home visits,” the man with glasses said .
“I don’t blame you . I know his temper is a bit strange,” the middle-aged man said .
“Is there any other way?” the man with glasses asked .
“I heard that his parents and a few of his friends are in this village,” the middle-aged man said . “Maybe we can start with those people . ”
“Don’t disturb his family . Ask his friends first,” the middle-aged man added .
“OK . ”
“Xiao He, stay here to handle this matter,” the middle-aged man said .
“Yes . ”
The car left the village .
Early the next morning, Zhong Liuchuan and Jia Zizai were jogging . They approached the east side of the mountain .
“Come up . ” They heard a voice . It was not loud and came from at least 300 feet away, yet it entered their ears accurately and clearly .
Hearing the voice, Jia Zizai was momentarily shocked . He looked around . As he raised his eyes, he saw Wang Yao above .
“Mr . Wang, are you there?” he yelled at the mountain, but his voice quickly dissipated .
“Yes, it’s me . Come up the mountain here,” Wang Yao said .
“OK!” Jia Zizai was happy . He knew what it meant .
He hurriedly ran up the mountain . He even fell a few times because of his excitement .
“Mr . Wang . ”
“You will start your studies today,” Wang Yao said . “You will learn from Liuchuang today . ”
“OK, Sir,” Jia Zi happily said .
His persistence had not been a waste . The day he had eagerly waited for had finally come .
“Brother . ”
Zhong Liuchuan smiled and nodded .
