“i told you that we shouldn’t have come here . this mountain forest and that stupid stockade are all so weird!” the other conscious young man sounded as if he was near tears .
“what’s the use of saying all these things now? try to think of a way to get out of here quickly . ” the young man, who was the leader, was also anxious . he was also worried and regretted their decisions .
they had acted on a temporary impulse when going there . then again, this rash impulse of his was not a new thing . he had wandered into deep mountains and forests, sealed and forgotten villages, and other places that were said to be haunted by ghosts . nothing had happened . unlike this place, where three people had passed out .
the other friend kept praying to god and mumbling prayers . “bodhisattva, bless us . bodhisattva, bless us . ”
maybe his prayers worked because they managed to get out of the jungle safely . they immediately found a local clinic to treat their three comatose companions .
“their vital signs are considered stable,” the doctor said . “our facility is limited, so we can’t treat them . hurry to a larger hospital . ”
“doctor, do you mean that the lives of my three friends are not in danger for the time being?”
“that’s the case for now, but it’s hard to say after a long time,” the doctor responsibly said .
“alright, thank you so much . ” after hearing that, the young man hurriedly contacted a bigger hospital that he could take his friends .
there was more news about the valley of thousands of medicine on the internet .
[the people there don’t understand the outside language . they still speak the local dialect, so we couldn’t communicate with them . ]
[it’s a dangerous place . after entering, our party got sick for no reason . we had to abandon the journey halfway through . but the scenery there is really beautiful . ]
[can we go there?]
[if you’re not afraid of death, you can try it . ]
a special forum had been created just to discuss the valley of thousands of medicine .
those who were curious, bored, or adventurous had not stopped exploring the topic because of those posts . instead, they had ignited their interest .
hence, more people began to search for the valley of thousands of medicine . unlike in the past, this time, they had a clear route . those who had been there before had marked out the exact route .
“chief?”
“qingfeng, what did people outside say?”
“it’s not easy to deal with . this time, it’s obvious that someone outside is aggravating this situation . someone must be working to publicize it behind the scenes . ”
“who is it?”
“we haven’t found the person yet,” miao qingfeng said . “it’s not easy to investigate this matter . ”
“his goal has been achieved,” miao xihe said . “we have been exposed to the world . we are no longer mysterious and isolated from the world . ”
all his past efforts and insistence, the customs and traditions that this stockade has passed down for hundreds of years, seemed to be headed for destruction in just a few days . he did not have any good ideas to stop it .
“what should we do?”
“our people outside are trying to find a way, but the network is too developed now . ”
“i see . leave me . ”
“yes . ”
miao qingfeng left the cabin .
after he went out and had been walking for a while, he saw a young man with a green sickly face .
“yinghao, when did you come back?”
“i just came back,” the young man said . “it’s very lively outside!”
“yes, it’s very lively,” miao qingfeng said . “the wind sweeping through the tower heralds a rising storm in the mountains!”
for the first time, he felt that things were happening beyond his expectations and moving out of control . what they were doing now was like trying to wrap fire in paper . they were only suppressing it for a while, not for a lifetime . at some point, the fire was bound to roar back stronger than ever .
“what can i do?” zhao yinghao asked .
“you? nothing is needed for the time being,” miao qingfeng replied with a smile .
“these things don’t happen without any reason . there must be someone acting behind the scenes . we have to find out who it is . ”
zhao yinghao didn’t say anything . he looked around and took in the stockade around him .
“it’s really good here . ” he had already regarded this place as his second hometown .
“yes!”
miao qingfeng lit a cigarette .
they were used to living a peaceful life . none of them wanted to be disturbed by outsiders . furthermore, they didn’t just have a peaceful life here . other things couldn’t be brought to light . some things couldn’t be known by outsiders . those curious outsiders couldn’t be controlled or restricted . that kind of danger had to be nipped in the bud . unfortunately, the more they tried to suppress the situation, the stronger its aftershocks came at them .
in jing, thousands of miles away …
wang yao had been there for nearly a week . during that time, several guests had visited the su family . their real purpose was to see him . they weren’t there to seek treatment . they just wanted to greet him . it was a way of forming a relationship between them .
su xiaoxue was about to resume her lessons in school and would be busy again . it was time for wang yao to leave .
“sir, have a safe journey . ”
“alright . go back in . i’ll come back when i have time . ” wang yao heled su xiaoxue in his arms before leaving .
their parting words were full of reluctance .
that night, wang yao returned home .
the next day, the clinic opened, as usual, to receive patients .
on the first day open, a middle-aged woman came to the mountain village with her son to receive wang yao’s treatment .
“how are you feeling these days?” wang yao asked .
“i feel great,” he xiao rui said with a smile .
since he had begun receiving treatment there, the young man felt that his body had improved significantly . his mentality had become bright and sunny, and he had grown talkative .
“his body has become strong,” his mother said . “he dares to move now and is more spirited . he also loves to eat . ”
“well, good, we’ll continue treatment today . ”
after taking some medicine, acupuncture needles pierced into his skin . suddenly, someone came in from outside .
“uncle, what can i do for you?” the man who entered the clinic was wang yilong .
“ah, you have patients,” wang yilong hurriedly said . “you go on with your things first . i’ll come back later . ”
“it’s fine . you can just tell me if something is going on . ”
“there’s nothing much . i’ll come back later . ” wang yilong waved his hands and smiled left the clinic .
the medicinal bath lasted a long time . it took more than three hours before and after, so wang yao didn’t eat lunch .
“drink some water . ”
the medicinal bath was steaming . a body lost a certain amount of water, so it was necessary to replenish the lost moisture in time .
it was nearly 2 p . m . when he finished the treatment .
“dr . wang, i’m really sorry for delaying your lunchtime . ”
“it doesn’t matter,” wang yao said with a smile . “a skipped meal won’t affect me much . ”
it was not a huge matter at all . compared with chief surgeons who had to stand by an operating table for hours, this small degree of hunger was incomparable .
after paying the treatment fees, the mother and son sincerely expressed their gratitude before leaving for the county’s town center .
at about 4 p . m . , wang yilong returned to the clinic .
“uncle, what can i do for you?” he had come two times that day . wang yao thought the old man must have needed help with something .
“nothing . i’m here to give you a little thing,” wang yilong replied with a smile .
“what is it?”
“here, i caught this in beishan mountain . ” wang yilong took out a bag, which contained a wild pheasant .
“ah!” wang yao was stunned .
“is this why you’re here?”
“yes, this thing tastes quite delicious . it’s just that the meat is a little dry . it needs to be stewed well . ”
“no, you don’t need to do this . you can eat it yourself . ”
“it’s for you . ” wang yilong insisted on leaving it there .
“ok, ok, i’ll accept it,” wang yao said . “you look better and better, uncle . ”
he had taken his pulse a couple of days ago . the old man was recovering well . the malignant tumors in his body had basically disappeared . wang yao’s treatment plan was feasible and effective .
“yes, i’m much better, wang yilong said with a smile . “i go out and take a spin whenever i have time now . i even went to beishan mountain yesterday and saw two wild pheasants . i threw a stone at them and, viola, what a coincidence . i hit one . ”
“if this happens again, you can just eat it yourself . you need to nourish your body . ”
this wild pheasant was delicious and nutritious . it was a real mountain treasure . it was a top-notch nourishing ingredient . these birds were reared and bred in many places now .
after chatting for a while, wang yilong cheerfully left .
wang yao looked at the pheasant in his hand and murmured, “alright, let’s take it back . ”
“where is the pheasant from?”
“uncle yilong brought it to the clinic this afternoon . ”
“why did you take it?” zhang xiuying asked .
“oh, i didn’t want to, but i couldn’t reject him . ”
“alright, since you’ve already accepted it, i’ll make stew tonight . ”
