Chapter 974 Three Times a Day Was Too Much
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Despite being separated by thousands of miles, those people from the Valley of Thousands of Medicines had learned of Wang Yao’s location. According to their usual modus operandi, any attempts at revenge were undetectable unless he was willing to move elsewhere.
“Do you think they will come back?” Wang Yao asked.
“Most probably so,” Miao Chengtang replied.
“Those curses are made so that only people from that village can cure them, so they definitely won’t tolerate someone like you being around, Dr. Wang. For that, I’m truly sorry.” Miao Chengtang solemnly apologized.
Half of his apology was done out of sincerity. The other half was out of fear.
He had witnessed how Wang Yao had simply pressed at the air and put Miao Zhengnan, whom he had been terrified of, to the ground kneeling. He deemed that as nothing short of a mystical feat.
It was not wise to get on the bad side of such an impressive young man.
“What do you mean?” Jia Zizai asked. He was able to tell that there was something wrong with those words.
“Alright, you people, leave and don’t ever come back here again,” Wang Yao said as he dismissively waved his hand.
Miao Chengtang’s only option was to leave.
He opened his mouth to speak but quickly swallowed his words.
“Master?”
“Come on, we’ll talk inside,” Wang Yao said.
“Sure.”
After they went back inside, Su Xiaoxue made a pot of tea. Wang Yao told Jia Zizai everything that had happened in chronological order.
“So, you’ve gotten yourself into trouble just treating an illness, Master. How about I just head out and take care of those two?” Jia Zizai drew a line at his neck as he spoke.
According to what Wang Yao had said, those two had been put under the effects of what he had done to them. They were about to suffer three stomachaches a day. When the pain hit, it would have an intensity so severe that they would not be able to move. Driving was out of the question. In that case, the two outsiders had yet to make it outside Lianshan County. That made them easy to track. Jia Zizai’s prowess at what he did meant he could take care of those two without anyone noticing. He considered the entire assassination attempt, as well as disposing of their bodies, a piece of cake.
Su Xiaoxue was dumbfounded by everything she heard. She stared at him, making him feel rather awkward.
He simply laughed it off.
“No, just let them leave,” Wang Yao said.
He did not agree with resorting to killing just to take care of a problem.
“Have your friends over their keep a close eye on them.”
“Sure, Master,” Jia Zizai replied.
“Oh right, Miao Chengtang was right,” Wang Yao said with a grin. “That guy had poison on him. You were poisoned when you touched him.”
Jia Zizai had been poisoned, but it had quickly been taken care of. The herbs Wang Yao had given his three students proved quite useful.
“So, are the three of us really immune to all poisons?”
“Immune to all poisons?” Su Xiaoxue, who had been listening by their side, grew very curious.
“Umm, well, here’s how it is,” Jia Zizai said. “Master gave the three of us some medicine for the skin. It allows us to be immune to all poisons. Apparently, it’s so good that we have even driven pests away.”
“Is there really something like that out there?” Su Xiaoxue grinned at Wang Yao.
“Can I have some?”
“Sure you can,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
“Do you want to try it?”
“Yep,” Su Xiaoxue said with a nod.
“No problem.”
Jia Zizai left the clinic without staying for long. He told Hu Mei and Zhong Liuchuan everything that happened.
“Something like that actually happened?” Zhong Liuchuan was shocked. “Gosh, I’ll be damned.”
“What if they show up again?”
“We’ll just let them stay here for good then.” Zhong Liuchuan sounded very calm as he spoke. It was as if he was talking about something easy for him to do. He had absolute confidence in his capabilities.
“Yep, that’s what I thought as well.”
The two men from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine waited at the side of the road outside the village for over an hour. They found nothing wrong with their bodies.
“Are we fine now?” the driver asked.
“Not necessarily,” Miao Zhengnan said. “How about we just get a place to crash in and stay here for the day?”
“Sure.”
The driver cautiously drove the car into town. The men settled down at a hotel.
When it was nearing the evening, the pain hit returned just as intense as before. There was no way to suppress it. The excruciating pain lasted for about five minutes.
Huff, huff. After getting through the pain, both men were drenched in sweat. They looked as if they had been freshly fished out of the water.
The pain was too much for them.
They finally made it through.
Miao Zhengnan’s face was ashen from the pain. He was unable to recover right away. He was very angry. He wanted to head back to the village and torture that doctor with the most brutal of methods he knew of. Afterward, he wanted to kill him. However, his sense of reasoning told him otherwise. What that doctor had done was simply too eerie. He was likely not a match for the doctor. Furthermore, he had no idea what was actually happening to him. He had no idea if that weird illness was going to continue to worsen. He also did not know if their condition was life-threatening. As such, they were unable to kill that doctor just yet.
“What should we do, Uncle?” the young driver asked.
“We wait!” Miao Zhengnan replied.
While at the hotel, he contacted people in their village. He told everything that had happened to Miao Qingfeng, who was on the phone.
“Tell me the name of that village again.”
Miao Qingfeng felt that the name of the village Miao Zhengnan mentioned was familiar. He seemed to have heard of it before.
“Here? Well, alright. I know. You guys be careful. Come back here at once if this proves too much for you guys.”
After hanging up, Miao Qingfeng immediately made another call.
“Yinghao, I have a question. Is that the right place? Is he called Wang Yao? Alright, sure.” He quickly hung up the phone.
“It’s really that place.”
He thought for a bit before heading out. He went to Miao Xihe’s place and told the chief about what happened.
“A young man capable of curing a bug curse from this village?”
“Yes. Yinghao’s teacher and brother-in-training likely fell to that young man,” Miao Qingfeng said. “That man is probably very good at what he does. He was not afraid of the bugs they brought.”
After remaining silent for a moment, Miao Xihe said, “Heh, I never expected to find some young man so capable up north. Well, just tell Zhengnan to come back.”
“Sure.”
The town thousands of miles away was very quiet after nightfall.
In a room in a hotel…
Arrghhh…
A man suddenly awoke from his slumber and shrieked. He cradled his stomach as he laid on the bed. He curled up like a shrimp that had been dumped into hot water.
The pain was too much to bear.
That torturous pain had hit them again.
“Damn it!”
Another shriek was heard as another person in the room shared the same reaction.
The pain gradually subsided after about five minutes.
They two men panted as they laid on their beds.
“Damn, this hurts!”
Miao Zhengnan did not say anything. His eyes were staring straight at the ceiling.
“Are you alright, Uncle?”
“I’m fine,” Miao Zhengnan said. “Get some sleep. We’ll probably be alright for the night.”
“Probably?”
“Didn’t I tell you to sleep?”
“Sure.”
Feeling tired and pained, the young man fell asleep in no time. He snored as Miao Zhengnan, who was not far away, continued to stare at the ceiling. No one knew what was running through his mind.
In the morning, sunlight shone into their room through the cracks of the curtains.
The two men did not look well. They had not slept well either. Three intense cramps a day dealt a severe blow to both of their bodies and psyches. There was no way they felt fine about it.
“We’ll stay here for another day,” Miao Zhengnan said.
“Stay? Aren’t we going home?” the young man asked.
“No, we’ll stay for two more days,” Miao Zhengnan said. He wanted to verify if his judgment had been correct.
The two men suffered another three hits that day. The time when the pain hit was almost the same as the day before.
“The pain is periodical, and it has an order. It has something to do with the meridians.” That was his judgment about their condition.
“What happens now?” the young man asked.
“Come, we’ll head back to the village,” Miao Zhengnan said.
“By car?”
“No. It’s either by plane or train,” Miao Zhengnan replied. “We need to head back as fast as we can. We need to make sure that we avoid doing much at the times when we get sick.”
They headed back to their village using the quickest method they were able to find.
In the mountain village…
Wang Yao was done making the medicine for Su Xiaoxue.
“So, how is it? Bitter?”
“Not quite, and there seems to be a unique scent of the herbs in it,” Su Xiaoxue said.
“You actually have neixi in you, which helps resist most of the things found here,” Wang Yao said.
He had experimented on his own body. He ingested herbs with certain levels of toxicity. There had been no unusual reactions from his body. Through his own sensations and further analysis, he deduced that there were two reasons why that was so. First, his constitution was far too superior compared to that of common folk. Such poisons were like an ant biting an elephant to the extent that he didn’t even feel an itch from it. Second, the neixi in his body was powerful enough to break down those toxins. Su Xiaoxue’s constitution was actually far superior to that of common folk, and her neixi was strong as well. Even without the special medicines that Wang Yao cooked for her, her body alone was able to resist a great many types of poisons.
