Wang Yao drove back home and unloaded the meat he bought from the car.

“Why did you go out to buy so much meat on a rainy day?” Zhang Xiuying asked, “Are you craving meat?”

“A little. San Xian is craving meat too.”

“What are we eating first?”

“Why don’t we drink some mutton soup?” Wang Yao suggested.

Drinking hot mutton soup was perfect for a rainy day.

“Sure. I’ll start to get it ready.”

Pitter patter. The rain outside became heavier.

The meat broth was boiling in the cauldron. Soon, the aroma of the mutton wafted through the room.

At noon, Wang Yao drank three big bowls of soup.

“Mmm, it’s delicious.”

After the rain outside had stopped for the moment, Wang Yao grabbed a huge bag of things while holding an umbrella. He left his house and walked towards the hill.

“Yao, you’re still going up the hill in this weather?”

On the road in the village, a few people were watching the water at the riverside and cast a net. Usually, it would catch some large fish which rushed out from the upstream barrage or the small reservoir. After all, although it was a small village and the reservoir in the mountain was not big, it was dry all year round. Some large fish could grow under such circumstances. Someone once caught a huge fish weighing more than 40 kilograms there.

Wang Fengming was also looking on by the riverside. He initiatively asked after Wang Yao, to see how he was doing.

As they talked, it was as if, Wang Fengming looked better and better.

They finished chatting after a bit, and Wang Yao continued walking. When he passed by the south of the village, he stopped to take a glimpse at the old houses with the newly collapsed roofs.

The courtyard was full of mud and the weeds started to grow again.

Wait for another two days.

. . .

“Come San Xian, Daxia, there’s some hot mutton soup.”

After arriving at the hill, Wang Yao took out the sealed mutton soup from the bag. When it was opened, steam continued to come out of the soup. He gave San Xian and Daxia one each.

“Try and see how the taste is.”

It was not the first time that they had drank this. It was not weird for the dog to drink the soup because it was an omnivore. What surprised Wang Yao was that the hawk could actually drink some. Of course, it was more willing to eat fresh meat. Wang Yao specifically brought two pieces of fresh meat to give it as a ration.

The rain stopped by evening.

In the small Lianshan County, the heavy rain had caused two people to be washed away by the river and they lost their lives. If it was not for Wang Yao, the number of casualties would have been three.

The next day, the weather cleared up. As the sun came out, it dried up the ground, and the air became unusually hot and humid. It was a typical sauna day. Such weather made it easy to get a heatstroke and outdoor activities were also affected.

However, someone entered the mountain village and went up Nanshan Hill in such a weather.

“Phew, it’s so hot!”

He Qisheng had not walked too far, but he was already soaked with sweat.

“Haha, since when I can’t even endure this?” he said to himself, somewhat mockingly.

Nanshan Hill was still standing there quietly. The hillside was lush and green.

Nanshan Hill was just in front of him, but it would take some time to arrive. Especially in the hot weather, the feeling of sweating profusely was extremely awful.

He Qisheng arrived at the foot of the hill. He looked up and walked up the mountain road. When he reached the hillside, the herb field was in front of him. The tree saplings surrounding the herb field seemed to have grown a lot taller.

The mountain wind blew against his body and his sweat practically was taken away. He felt a lot cooler in an instant.

Woof, woof, woof. The dog laid horizontally on the small road leading towards the herb field.

“Hello, San Xian.” He Qisheng greeted the dog with a smile.

Woof, woof. The dog did not buy it at all.

“Who’s there?” Hearing the sound, Wang Yao came out of the cottage. “Ah, Brother He. Come in quickly.”

After hearing Wang Yao’s order, the dog gave way to He Qisheng.

“The dog is very intelligent!”

“Yes, he’s smarter than ordinary dogs,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“There are the exam credentials. This time, the exam will be held in Ji City. You see…”

“No problem,” Wang Yao answered with a smile.

Actually, what He Qisheng originally meant was that if Wang Yao was not willing to go, he could find someone to sit for the exam. If he did, he could still obtain the qualification certificate. He did not expect that Wang Yao would readily agree.

“The location and time are stated in the documents. Give me a call when you arrive at Quan City.”

“Alright. Thank you,” Wang Yao replied.

He Qisheng had helped him a lot regarding this matter.

“You’re welcome.”

After chatting with Wang Yao for a while on the hill, He Qisheng began to make his way back down the hill.

As he walked down the hillside, as soon as he got a certain distance away, he started sweating profusely.

The battle array!

The word suddenly appeared in his mind. It must be because Wang Yao had arranged a special battle array on the hill, resulting in two distinctly different climates on the hill.

How I wish I could stay on this hill for another few days! After going down the hill, He Qisheng turned around to look at the indistinct cottage on the hill and sighed.

Once the rain had stopped, Wang Yao began to be busy with new things. He first checked the plants in the herbal field. After confirming that they had not suffered any damage from the rain, he successively exchanged the wild medicinal herbs brought by Chen Boyuan through the system. Then, he prepared to redeem the Everlasting grass and Lingshanji, which were used in decocting the Muscle Revitalization powder.

The next day, Tian Yuantu came again. This time, he was not alone. He came with the person in-charge of his construction team.

“Here?”

“Yes, here.”

Looking at a courtyard which was not considered big, his elite staff was quite surprised.

He had seen the design drawings before, but there was no surroundings. He thought that it would be in some picturesque place, he did not expect it to be here, in a small mountain village.

“Why, is there a problem?”

“No.”

The project was not huge; it was actually a very small project. Who would specifically ask a construction team to build houses in a village? Most would ask the villagers or the neighboring villagers for help.

“That’s good then.”

Then, Tian Yuantu went up Nanshan Hill again and spoke with Wang Yao. After confirming that there was no problem, the next thing was to begin the construction.

“I’ve seen the weather forecast. The weather will be glorious this week,” Tian Yuantu said. “The medical center can basically be completed in a week.”

“That’s good,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

On the 18th of June, the sun was shining bright and the sky was blue and cloudless.

At 18 minutes past eight in the morning, the firecrackers were lit and the construction of the medical center had begun.

Many villagers came to watch.

Wang Yao could not avoid this kind of thing. Fortunately, his parents were helping him, and Wang Mingbao also purposely came back from Lianshan County to witness this. In his own words, there was no reason for him to be absent when his buddy was building a house. Furthermore, this was his home.

Wei Hai and the others wanted to come as well, but they were dissuaded by Wang Yao. It was just to start the construction, not to open for business, so there was no need to make it that grand, he explained to them. Wang Yao was not a person who enjoyed the hustle and bustle.

The construction of the project was very fast because of the use of automated tools. The dilapidated houses were quickly demolished and the construction waste was transported outwards continuously.

In the morning, Wang Yao threw a banquet in the restaurant downtown and specifically invited the workers of the construction this time. Although Tian Yuantu said that it was not necessary, Wang Yao insisted on treating them to a meal. Actually, it did not cost him much. It was just a small token of his appreciation.

The fact that he was building a house in the village had become the talk among the villagers. After all, dozens of new houses were built in the village over the years, but it was the first time that someone had built a house like this; his family did not build the house themselves, but a professional construction team was asked to do the work instead. It was indeed faster, but it was also expensive!

“Look at Fenghua’s family. They hired a construction team just to build a house.”

“How much do you think Fenghua’s son earns?”

“He can burn his money.”

There were people who admired him, just as there were those who were jealous and sarcastic. This was how the world was and the hearts of mankind were.

…

Somwhere in Dao City, Sun Zhengrong had returned home from Jing City.

“Hao, how is Yunsheng?”

“His condition is considered to be stable,” the stoic man replied.

“I’m glad that he is. Come to Lianshan County with me tomorrow to visit Dr. Wang,” Sun Zhengrong said. If it was not for the fact that he was held up in Jing City, he would have already gone to Lianshan County.

“Okay.”

“Have you prepared the gifts?”

“Yes, I’ve prepared them.”

“That’s good then.”

Sun Zhengrong felt that his biggest achievement during his trip in Jing City this time was to be able to pull some strings with Wang Yao, who was a young man with extraordinary pharmaceutical technology. Not only did he let his son see a glimpse of hope, he also obtained an extra guarantee on his and his family’s health, provided that he had a good relationship with Wang Yao. A second life.
