An article suddenly appeared on the internet. It described the spread of a horrible contagious disease somewhere in Qinzhou. People had died because of the disease.

The local government in Qinzhou province and Bingzhou had tried their best to control the spread of the disease. They strictly forbid anyone involved to release any information related to the disease to media. However, the news still went online, upsetting the local government.

“Who told the media about it?” The senior officer of the local government was furious.

The news wouldn’t be kept secret forever. Nowadays, news could travel rapidly through internet. However, due to lack of supervision, a lot of news being circulated on the internet was incorrect or partially incorrect. Eventually, that news became rumors, which could be completely different from the truth. Therefore, adequate supervision and guidance were necessary.

Although Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao were stuck in the village, they were informed of what was happening outside. They had smartphones that could access Wi-Fi.

“Hey, the world outside is really colorful!” Wang Mingbao sounded like he was eager to see the world in disorder.

“I found you’ve changed so much after you’ve fallen in love,” Wang Yao said.

“Really?” Wang Mingbao asked. “Hey, that Dr. Long, the one looking like an iron can, said he had created a medication to treat the disease. Maybe the medication is based on the formula you gave him.”

Wang Yao squinted his eyes. “That’s possible.”

“I’ve seen shameless people, but not as shameless as him. At his age, even if he doesn’t look after himself, he should look after his offspring,” Wang Mingbao said.

“What do you mean?” Wang Yao asked.

“You know, he’s done so many immoral things, do you think he’s gonna have a son without an asshole?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“His son has probably grown up,” Wang Yao replied.

“Oh, but it’s possible he has a bastard son. And, don’t forget, he could have grandchildren,” Wang Mingbao said with a grin.

“You think too much of useless stuff,” Wang Yao said.

He took a stool and went to the courtyard.

“What can you find in the sky?” Wang Mingbao continued to watch his smartphone while lying on bed. “Look at him! Such a hypocrite!”

He was looking at a video of Dr. Long inside. Dr. Long was making a presentation related to the contagious disease in the village in front of a group of journalists. He looked very serious.

“He looks like a decent person, but he has done indecent stuff. Maybe the bad guys just get old,” Wang Mingbao said.

“It is going to rain,” Wang Yao said softly as he was looking at the sky.

“Going to rain?” Wang Mingbao happened to hear what Wang Yao said as he walked out of the house with a stool.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“That’s good, then I can have a nap,” Wang Mingbao said..

“You’re not going to meet Han Jia?” Wang Yao asked.

“I’ll see about a nap after meeting her,” Wang Mingbao said.

Wang Yao thought Wang Mingbao had changed. Wang Mingbao only cared about his career before he met Han Jia. Now, it seemed like he only cared about Han Jia.

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

“Of course, the rain will surely come,” Wang Mingbao said.

They didn’t realize they were talking about two different things.

“Do you think more people die from the disease?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Yeah, even cold water could kill someone. This disease is highly risky,” Wang Yao said seriously.

“How come you didn’t make a big effort to treat them?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Why? Why do you think I didn’t make a great effort?” Wang Yao asked.

“You just checked their pulses and brew the decoction. Then, they just recovered. It looked easy,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Are you serious?” Wang Yao asked.

“It looked quite easy to me,” Wang Mingbao replied.

Wang Yao suddenly became speechless. This knowledge was provided by the system and accumulated through treating patients. He could cure so many patients with weird medical conditions because he had the licorice roots. But, it seemed that what Wang Mingbao said made some sense.

Wang Yao didn’t discuss further with Wang Mingbao about how easy it appeared for him to treat his parents. At the moment, he only cared about when the disease would stop spreading. He wanted to know whether the water grass and leaves he sent out would work. It would be difficult to extract the effective part from those leaves during a short period of time. It would take a long time to take the essence out of the water grass and leaves even with the most advanced technology. Technicians from Western countries tried to study herbal formulas and extract the effective part from herbs. However, they all failed.

What was Chinese Traditional Medicine? It was the balance of Yin and Yang. It was the generation of five elements. It was the interaction of meridians and acupuncture points. People from Western countries couldn’t understand these concepts. Chinese Traditional Medicine appeared thousands of years earlier than Western or modern medicine. However, no progress was made for hundreds of years. Then, it started to decline.

Maybe they can try to cultivate a large amount of water grass during short period of time, Wang Yao thought.

Actually, the water grasses grew very rapidly. Although they were not like chives, which would grow back after being collected, they were pretty much like the chives.

“We should go back,” Wang Yao said out of blue.

The contagious disease had escalated and was an absolute mess. He didn’t think he would be very helpful if he continued to stay in the village. The people holding high position in the government would take care of the mess. However, he didn’t know what the small village’s destiny would be.

“They will be fine?” Wang Mingbao asked.

Something unexpected happened.

“Dr. Wang, my wife is about to give birth!” A villager came to see Wang Yao in the morning.

“What?” Wang Yao was surprised.

“Your wife is about to give birth?” Wang Yao’s voice was a bit shaking.

“Yes, can you take a look at her?” the villager asked.

“You know how to deliver a baby?” Wang Mingbao asked with surprise.

Wang Yao did have some knowledge about how to deliver a baby. After all, the system had given him systematic and various medical knowledge.

“Not really.” Wang Yao shook his head.

Knowing how to deliver a baby and being able to deliver a baby were two totally different things.

“Oh, well, I thought you knew,” Wang Mingbao said. “What can they do then?”

“They should go to the hospital immediately,” Wang Yao said.

“But, we are not allowed to leave the village!” The villager started to cry.

“What?” Wang Yao squinted his eyes as a gust of wind blew. “What the hell?”

Wang Yao was angry. He took a deep breath. It was useless to be angry about it. He needed to figure something out.

“Let me think about it,” Wang Yao said. Then, he called Chen Jingzhi.

“What? A pregnant woman?” Chen Jingzhi asked.

“Yes, she’s due to have the baby. The armed police force and local policemen won’t let her out of the village. I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been infected,” Wang Yao said.

“I see. Leave it to me,” Chen Jingzhi said.

“Okay, this is urgent,” Wang Yao said.

“I see.” Chen Jingzhi frowned after he had hung up the phone.

He had come across situations like this before. The last time a contagious disease was spreading, a lot of things had been buried without the public’s knowledge.

“What about my wife?” The villager brought Wang Yao back to his house.

Wang Yao took a look at the villager’s wife.

“I think she is about to give birth,” Wang Yao said.

“Oh, what can I do about it?” The villager was sweating and walking back and forth in the room.

If he couldn’t get permission to take his wife to the hospital, his wife would have to give birth in the village. Nowadays, nobody gave birth at home. Even if she was happy to give birth at home, no one in the village could deliver the baby. She could potentially die from childbirth.

The villager was hopeless. He went out to bow to the sky and bang his head to the ground.

Bang! Bang!

“Shit! This is unbelievable!” Wang Mingbao cursed.

Wang Yao sat next to the bed. His fingers were still on the villager’s wife’s pulse. This was not her first pregnancy. She was nearly 40 years old. This was already a high-risk pregnancy given her age. Her current situation was not optimal.

“She’s going to give birth very soon,” Wang Yao said.

His prediction was pretty accurate. He was waiting for a response from Chen Zhijing. Wang Yao didn’t stand up. He took out a white porcelain bottle out of his pocket. He then took a small pill out of the bottle.

“Give it to her,” Wang Yao said.

“Okay,” the villager said. He took the pill over to his wife and had her take it.

The pill was a Nine grass pill made by Wang Yao. It was very powerful.

“I hope it will work,” Wang Yao said.

In fact, it worked. The villager’s wife, who had been experiencing contraction pain, had a warm feeling in her belly. The contraction pain seemed to be more bearable.

The pill was so effective, she thought.

“What is this pill?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Nine grass pill,” Wang Yao said.

“To protect the baby?” Wang Mingbao asked.

Wang Yao took a deep breath, and said, “No!”

“Then, why did you give it to her?” Wang Mingbao asked.

Wang Yao stared at Wang Mingbao for a while.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“I doubt you are not the real Wang Mingbao,” Wang Yao joked.

“What are you talking about?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“The Wang Mingbao I know has never been so talkative,” Wang Yao said.

“Talkative? I’m not!” Wang Mingbao said with confusion.
