“Who are you?”

“I’m your daughter,” the woman replied .
“Well, you do look a little like my daughter . ”
“A little like your daughter? Come on, let’s go home . ” The woman had a wry smile, knowing that her father was ill .
“I want mutton for lunch,” the old man said .
“Alright, I’ll make it for you,” the woman helplessly said .
Ever since her father had gotten this strange disease, he had become more like a child . He was willful and had a temper . Most importantly, he was forgetful . He would eat but forget about it after a while and say that he was hungry and wanted to eat something .
“Sigh, I shall go back and discuss with Elder Sister and Second Brother if we want to come here for treatment . ”
At the thought of the tens of thousands for treatment, the woman balked .
They were not a rich family . They did not have much money . Besides, such a small clinic had dared to ask for that kind of price . In their opinion, it was only the big hospitals that would request such prices .
In the clinic, Wang Yao carefully sorted out the old man’s condition . He wrote it in the notebook he kept for difficult and miscellaneous diseases . For this disease, he was quite sure that he could treat it . He had several magic herbs that were effective in treating the symptoms of this disease .
Go back and think about it? He looked at the clear tea that the old man did not drink .
It was up to what the old man’s children thought .
It grew windy as evening approached .
It was a little chilly in the mountain village, but it was still possible to wear light clothing in Southern Yunnan, thousands of miles away . The temperature was around 68 degrees, which was the best weather .
In a hotel in He county, Guo Zhenghe set up a special banquet for Yang Guanfeng, who had returned from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . They could not refuse it, so they had no choice but to attend .
“Captain Yang, congratulations on your triumphant return,” Guo Zhenghe said with a smile . His words set the bar high .

“Secretary Guo, you’re flattering me,” Yang Guanfeng said . “Many unexpected things happened during this trip to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . This case can’t be considered closed . After all, Miao Qingshan, the main criminal suspect, hasn’t been caught yet . A triumphant return? We do not deserve it!” He was just stating things as they were .
“Captain Yang, you are too modest,” Guo Zhenghe said . “Didn’t you at least confirm the suspect? As for the arrest, that’s the next step . This can’t be defined as an unsettled case . In my opinion, it has been successful for the most part, and it is worth celebrating . The key is to have such a big harvest in such a short time . It proves once again that Captain Yang and his colleague are worthy of being experts in criminal investigation . You guys are professional and efficient, and I admire you very much . ”
“Here, I’d like to represent the county and propose a toast to you,” Guo Zhenghe said before drinking all the wine in his cup .
“Thank you, Secretary Guo . ” Yang Guanfeng and his colleague followed suit, finishing the wine in their cups . This was the toast from the young consul . As the leader of He County, they had to give him face, not to mention that he had a very large family behind him .
“I heard that you encountered danger in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . ”
“We indeed encountered danger . ”
It was a kind of danger he had never encountered . It was poison . If it wasn’t for Miao Xihe and the others’ help, he didn’t know how things would have turned out .
“Come on, it’s time for a second cup . I’d like to express my thanks and respect . Thank you . ” Guo Zhenghe drank all the wine in his cup again .
The two of them had to follow him and downed the wine in their cups .
After a few drinks, the table was beginning to get lively . Those who could participate in the occasion were quite discerning . They knew what to say on all occasions, and their words were pretty .
Yang Guanfeng was fine . He had participated in many of these occasions, so he was a lot more experienced . He knew that those people were saying polite compliments . He also knew which drinks should be drunk and which should be drunk less or even not at all . The young colleague beside him was different . He must have participated in quite a few banquets, but this was a banquet where he could drink with the secretary of the county party committee, director and so on . These opportunities were still far and few for him, especially since these directors and county party committee secretary were toasting him . It was an unexpected thing that he could only have wished for . He unknowingly drank too much . When he drank too much, he began talking too much .
In the end, he was still a young man and could not control himself when he spoke . He said what should be said and what should not be said . Fortunately, what he had said was all about the case and the Valley of Thousands of Medicine .
“I’m sorry Secretary Guo, and other leaders, he’s drunk,” Yang Guanfeng said with a smile .
“Well, that is nothing here,” a director said . “He hasn’t said anything that shouldn’t have been said, isn’t that right, Secretary Guo?”
“Yes,” Guo Zhenghe said with a smile .
He had learned something from what the young man had said .

He was in his 20s . One could not say that the criminal investigation expert from the province was bad . His future was bright . After all, he was following Yang Guanfeng, a person who was famous even in Jing . As long as he followed him, he would be able to get some credit . That credit would be the biggest capital for his future promotion . However, when compared to others, he was not as good . He was outstanding, but Guo Zhenghe, who was sitting in the host’s seat, was more excellent . He had become the secretary of a county before turning 30 . It could be said that although there was the word “temporary” in front of his title, everyone knew that it was a symbolic word . When the time came, there was a 99% chance that the word would be removed .
Sometimes, the context was critical, but not all time . Some people had a background that caused people to look up to him, but they were all just useless people who only knew how to drink and feast, wasting away the high-quality resources that so many people wanted but could not get . Some people had a deep background and strived for success . When those two factors added up, one could almost benefit in every way possible, for example, Guo Zhenghe .
He was old-fashioned when dealing with things in life . His way of speech was capable and refined . He had a charming personality and was able to accomplish things . Such a person was a rare talent . Plus, he had a powerful family behind him . He could be described as being born to be an official .
“Secretary Guo, I’d like to toast you,” the young man said .
“Sure . ” Guo Zhenghe downed the glass of wine even though he could have just drunk it a little as a show of respect .
“Thank you for your hospitality . ”
“You’re welcome . You can come to He County anytime . We’ll always welcome, won’t we?”
“Yes!” Several of the people answered in accordance .
The guests and host both enjoyed the meal .
After the meal, Guo Zhenghe arranged for a personal driver to take the two men to their accommodations .
Sigh!
Looking at the young man who was snoring in bed, Yang Guanfeng sighed .
How nice it is to be young!
He didn’t mean to blame him . He was young, so it was hard not to be impulsive . Besides, he didn’t say anything against principle .
That night, He County was very quiet .
“Ah!”

Guo Zhenghe was lying in bed, tossing and turning . He could not sleep .
He had drunk a lot of wine . It had been a long time since he had drunk so much . He could not endure it .
There is indeed a big problem in that Valley of Thousands of Medicine . He was thinking about what the young man had said by accident .
I hope Uncle Xu can bring back some useful things .
Although he had said that the case was over, he was afraid of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . They could easily kill more than a dozen people and leave no signs on the surface . That could be described as invisibly killing people . Those people could easily kill the villagers, and they could also easily kill themselves . If this case were to happen in other places, even if he knew about it, he would not think much of it . The problem was that this case happened within his jurisdiction . The Valley of Thousands of Medicine was hundreds of miles away . It was not far, but it was not close .
It was like a poisonous snake being close to the cough . It made people shiver in fear just by thinking about it .
How could Southern Yunnan allow such a place to exist?
He had been thinking about this problem for more than a day .
How could he solve it? He would not be able to do it on his own .
It is best to go through the higher-ups .
When he woke up the next day, Comrade Xiao Liang had a bad headache .
Ah, my head hurts so much!
How much did I drink last night? He could no longer remember how many glasses of wine he had drunk . Toward the end, he had accepted all the alcohol passed to him . It was a typical blackout .
Did I make a fool of myself? Did I say something I shouldn’t have?
After waking up, he washed up and went to find Yang Guanfeng .
“Boss . ”
“You’re awake,” Yang Guanfeng said with a smile .
“Yes, I’m sorry . I had too much to drink last night . I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have said, did I?” Xiao Liang asked . He had been excited . There had been so many leaders toasting him, which had never happened to him before . It was hard to avoid getting excited .
“No, but pay attention in the future . You were outside after all,” Yang Guanfeng said .
“Oh, good, yes, I got it . Don’t worry . There will never be a next time . ” Comrade Xiao Liang patted his chest and promised .
“Alright, as for this case, think it through carefully and write a report,” Yang Guanfeng said .
“OK . ”
This seemed to be the end of the matter .
In the government office building of He County, Guo Zhenghe received a phone call, which made him anxious .
“Cough, cough, cough, Sir, I have encountered a problem here . ”
“What’s the matter, Uncle Xu?” Guo Zhenghe hurriedly asked . He could tell that the other man’s voice was hoarse and weak, which was different from the previous times he had called .
“I have probably been poisoned . ”
“What?” Guo Zhenghe shot up from the chair . Xu Xinyuan had just been to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . They had even met each other . At that time, he had specifically asked if there was any possibility of getting poisoned . At that time, Xu Xinyuan said there was no problem . He had gone to the hospital for an examination .
