Chapter 888: Try Poisons
“Uncle, you are already at this age,” Wang Yao said . “You cannot do heavy physical work . In your case, I think you still need to nurse your health so that Brother Zecheng will not be distracted . What if I try to persuade him to rest more and not strain himself at work?”

The old man remained silent . He understood the meaning of what he said . He also knew that his health was not good now, but this was not the result he wanted . He wanted to spare his son from the extra work and make some money . He didn’t want to be a burden on his family .
“Uncle, you don’t have to go outside the village to make money,” Wang Yao said . “The pharmaceutical company in town is about to start production . It will definitely use a lot of medicinal materials . The mountainous area of our village is very suitable for herbal medicine . I told Brother Zecheng that if he plants a lot of herbs, he won’t have to worry about selling them . ”
“Yeah, I heard that from Zecheng,” the old man said . “That sounds good!”
“Do you have anything else, Uncle?”
“Ah, it’s OK . ” Since Wang Yao had said that the family would soon have extra income, the old man’s mood suddenly improved . There was now a smile on his face also had a smile instead of it being full of worries and sadness like when he came in .
“Uncle, please take care . ” Wang Yao walked the old man out the door .
“OK . ”
The old man slowly walked home, wondering if he should discuss with his son about ordering various herbs . He had no other skills, but he was a professional in the field . After all, he had done that for most of his life .
Because of the opening of the pharmaceutical company, Wang Yao’s trip to Jing had to be delayed .
He sent a text message to Su Xiaoxue she had specifically told him that he had to tell her when the company opened .
Su Xiaoxue returned a response within seconds . [I’ll make the trip this time . ]
Wang Yao replied: [Focus on your studies . ] . At this point, Su Xiaoxue should have been in class, so the two did not talk much . The brief communication was to determine that Su Xiaoxue would come to attend the opening ceremony of Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company .
In the small mountain village, the cold wind blew . Time passed slowly for three days .
In the morning, Wang Yao put a wooden sign on the clinic that he wouldn’t be accepting any patients that day . He had other things to do .
“Well, I asked you all to come here today because I have something to discuss with you,” Wang Yao said .
“Mr . Wang, tell me if there is anything you want me to do,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Yes, I want to test whether the medicine you have taken for a few days has achieved the expected effect,” Wang Yao said . The purpose of their visit was part of an experiment he was doing .

“How do you test it?” Jia Zizai asked .
“It is rather simple,” Wang Yao said .
He Yao took out a small glass bottle, which contained a few black insects that looked a little creepy . These bugs were taken from the Lijiagou hot springs .
“What are these bugs?”
“Are they from the Lijiagou hot springs?” Jia Zizai recognized the bugs at first glance .
“Yes, these insects grow in areas with strong geothermal heat,” Wang Yao said . “Their bodies have mutated . They can secrete a special venom, which is hot and toxic . A poisoned person will very quickly have a reaction . ”
“I’ll go first,” Jia Zizai said .
He knew that since Wang Yao was there, the poison would not threaten them at all .
“That is good,” Wang Yao said .
He took out a poisonous insect and placed it on the back of his hand . The poisonous insect immediately attacked Jia Zizai . He felt the back of his hand suddenly burning as if it was stung by a bee . The insect suddenly returned to the glass bottle Wang Yao was holding .
“OK, sit down,” Wang Yao said .
The area where the insect attacked soon became red and swollen .
“How do you feel?” Wang Yao asked .
“The back of my hand is hot and burns like I was scalded with hot water,” Jia Zizai said . “The burning feeling is spreading and passing along my arm to my body . ”
Wang Yao reached out and checked his pulse .
“There is no problem,” he said .
Zhong Liuchuan and Hu Mei sat to the side watching . Hu Mei was a little nervous .

“Don’t worry . It’s OK . ” Wang Yao comforted her .
“It is alright,” Hu Mei replied .
After about 30 minutes, Jia Zizai said, “I’m a little hot and thirsty . ”
“Oh, drink some tea,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
He made good green tea for them . The aroma was tangy .
“I’m dizzy,” Jia Zizai said an hour later .
At this time, he felt as if he was suffering from a cold and fever with general discomfort and dizziness .
“Do you need to lay down for a while?” Wang Yao asked .
“There is no need . I can hold on,” Jia Zizai replied .
This feeling was getting worse .
“I have tightness in my chest,” he said .
Wang Yao wrote down everything he said .
After an hour and a half, the hands on the clock pointed to 10:30 a . m . “The uncomfortable feeling has started to subside,” Jia Zizai said .
“Has the feeling gone away?” Wang Yao asked .
“That is correct,” Jia Zizai replied .
After a short while, he felt that the burning sensation begin to fade away . The dizziness and discomfort also quickly weakened .
After another hour, the uncomfortableness had completely disappeared .

“Well, Sir, I don’t feel anything strange now,” Jia Zizai said .
Wang Yao nodded and calculated the time .
“It’s time to have a meal,” he said . “Let’s go . I’ll treat you to lunch . ”
“There is no need, Sir . ”
“Well, let’s go anyway,” Wang Yao said . “My cooking skills are not as good as Hu Mei’s, so I can only treat you in a restaurant . ”
Wang Yao drove the three of them to the hotel in Xiacun and asked for some side dishes and a good bottle of wine .
While they were eating here, a car hurriedly came to the outside of the clinic and parked . After the car stopped, a man got out of it and opened the rear door . A woman exited the car with a child in her arms . The two were very anxious . They went up to the clinic door but found that it was locked .
“What? Is no one is here?”
“What can we do?”
“We have to wait here,” the man said .
“You’d better get back into the car and wait for him . It’s too cold outside . ”
The woman and child returned to the car . The woman looked at the child in her arms, whose face was slightly pale . The stayed soundly stayed asleep .
“Will he be out of the clinic all day?”
“I’ve checked his Weibo . He just won’t be here in the morning . ”
The couple waited anxiously in the car, looking out the window from time to time .
They waited until nearly 2 p . m . Wang Yao finally returned .
As soon as they saw him, the couple got out of the car .
“Dr . Wang . ”
“Well, come in and talk . ” He glanced at them and then at the child in the woman’s arms .
“Dr . Wang, please look at our child . ”
His face was pale, and his breathing was weak .
What happened?
“Is he in a coma?” Wang Yao froze . He reached out and checked the child’s pulse .
Such a strange disease!
“How old is he?”
“Two and a half years old,” the woman said .
“When did he start to have this problem?” Wang Yao asked .
“It’s been six months,” the woman said . “We’ve been to many places . The doctors checked everything but couldn’t find the problem . ”
Their child had slowly begun to sleep more and more . Suddenly, out of the blue, their child went into a coma .
