It was late at night. On Nanshan Hill, there was a yellow light, which was not extinguished until midnight. Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, there was crying in the village. Someone had died during the night.
When Wang Yao went down to the house, he heard the news. The specific situation was unknown.
He did not think it was Uncle Yifu. When he saw him last night, he did not find any signs of death. Although he was drunk so much and his organs were damaged, he had not reached the point of crisis.
“Is it Uncle Yifu?” Wang Yao asked.
“No, it is Wang Jianrong, the brother of the village party secretary,” Zhang Xiuying said.
“Ah. He didn’t look like something was going wrong with him,” Wang Yao said. “What happened?”
“They drank together,” Wang Fenghua said.
“How did you know?” Wang Yao asked.
“They asked me to go with them, but I didn’t go. They were good drinkers, and they were good at persuading others to drink much. If I went, I’d get drunk,” Wang Fenghua said.
“Fortunately, you didn’t go. Now, there are joint responsibilities. If one person is drunk, the rest people by the table should take responsibilities,” Zhang Xiuying said.
“Hey, just after the Spring Festival had passed, it happened in the village,” Wang Fenghua said, “Many family could not settle it down.”
It was said that alcohol led to mistakes. This was not just a mistake, it was an accident. Especially for the family, when a man died, he was equivalent to the home’s pillars. The whole family could collapse.
“You’d better not join in on such a party of alcohol.” Zhang Xiuying still did not feel relieved.
“Got it,” Wang Fenghua said.
After breakfast, Wang Yao went to the medical center. It was nearly 10 a.m. when a man came in. It was a young man in the same generation with Wang Yao. His face was pale, and his steps were faint. He spoke with no power. He said he felt tinnitus and faint.
“Stick out your tongue and let me check,” Wang Yao said.
The young man stuck out his tongue. His mouth gave off a unique smell, like the smell of ammonia.
“What have you done in the New Year?” Wang Yao asked.
“There was nothing special. The relatives and friends gathered to eat and drink,” the young man said.
“Tell me the truth.” Wang Yao stared at his eyes.
“Why would I lie to you?” The young man asked loudly.
This young man was not usually in the village. He worked in the county town and had bought a house in the county. If his parents did not urge him, he would not have come here to see a doctor.
He was the same age as Wang Yao and had graduated from a famous university. But, Wang Yao had opened a clinic in a mountain village. The young man thought he must be useless. Who would want to stay in the mountain village if they had some abilities? Everyone went to the city. He had originally studied biology but switched to a new profession. He somewhat looked down on Wang Yao.
In this society, some people were actually very interesting. They were poor, but they still looked down on the rich. They felt that they were taking advantage of opportunity. If they encountered opportunities, they should earn more than those. They looked down on those with high academic qualifications because they thought they were just bookworms. In society, they were like a Mr. Nobody.
Wang Yao laughed. “Go back.”
The man though Wang Yao impolite. Go back? “Hey?” The young man was stunned.
Suddenly, the outside door opened. There was another person coming in the clinic. She was a middle-aged woman.
“Hey,” Wang Yao said.
“Xiao Yao, what’s wrong with Xiao Kun?” This woman was the young man’s mother.
“Mom, why did you come here?” The young man was very respectful when his mother entered.
“Hey, he doesn’t have to see a doctor,” Wang Yao said. “Let him go back first.”
“Why?” The woman shouted. She then turned her head and stared at her son. “Did you misbehave again!”
“No, I really didn’t!” The young man was not quite as impolite as before. He laid off.
“Go back now!” The woman screamed, and the young man got out. “Xiao Yao, tell me how Xiao Kun is doing.”
“Too much sex,” Wang Yao said.
“Ah?” The woman was shocked. She felt strange hearing the words, but it didn’t seem it could possibly describer her son..
“What do you think? Does Xiao Kun have a girlfriend?” the woman asked.
“Ah, probably, and there is something else,” Wang Yao said.
“Bad boy!” The woman’s face became even more angry. “What else?”
“He also drinks a lot,” Wang Yao said.
“Drinking, um, I have to go back and talk to him. Don’t be like Wang Jianrong,” she said.
She then began to talk to Wang Yao about Wang Jianrong, who had died from drinking. She told him all the details vividly. It was as if she was at the scene when it happened.
Wang Jianrong, who died, had drunk a lot of wine with several villagers last night. When he went to return home, he did not show any unusual signs. He just got wild with wine. When he got up in the middle of the night to go the bathroom, he fell in the yard. But, he didn’t get up again. His wife was angry, so she slept in another room. She didn’t pay any attention. In the morning, she found him in the yard. The man’s body was already cold beyond any remedy.
Wang Yao guessed the cause of death of the villager. It was estimated to be excessive drinking and brain congestion or infraction of the heart caused by the fall.
“Hey, Xiaoyao, Will you still be here in the afternoon?” the woman asked.
“Ah, I will,” Wang Yao said.
“Then, I will come with Xiaokun again in the afternoon,” she said.
“OK,” Wang Yao said.
“Please forgive him. Sometimes he talks impolitely, but he is still a good boy,” the woman said.
“Ah, it’s OK,” Wang Yao said with a smile. If a child listened to his parents, he would not be bad.
The woman left with a smile.
Wang Yao smiled and shook his head. The young man was interesting. He spoke impolitely outside but was totally different from when he saw his mother.
The woman returned home. Her son was very well-behaved at home. He was even busy with housework.
“Today you changed. I know you like to drink. Let’s talk about why you have a girlfriend outside.” The woman’s face was serious.
“Who? Who has a girlfriend? My boy? Good!” The young man’s father heard this sentence and rushed out of the room.
“You shut up!” The woman glanced at her husband.
“Mom, I don’t, really,” her son said.
“Tell the truth,” she said.
“I have just one,” the son said.
Under the gaze of his mother’s care, he said all of it.
“Where does she live? Is she beautiful? Do you have photos?” His father was happy.
“Comrade Senior Wang, it’s noon. It’s time to eat,” the woman said.
“No problem, I will cook today. Tell me what you want to eat.”
Meanwhile, Wang Zecheng was still feeling weird. He had hurt himself three times the previous day. When he brushed his teeth in the morning, he had a toothache, and it was bleeding. When he got up, he ate a bowl of noodles. Then, he felt uncomfortable. He went to the toilet four times in the morning. Now, he had almost fainted.
“Listen to me, look for Wang Yao to see it,” his wife said.
“Nope,” Wang Zecheng said.
“Then, you will continue to suffer,” his wife said.
The door opened with a creaking sound.
“Where are you going?” Wang Zecheng saw his father go out and asked without hesitation.
“Going out to stroll about,” the old man said.
“Dad, don’t go out before dinner,” his daughter-in-law said.
“No, I will come back soon,” the old man said.
The old man trembled out of the door. He then went to Wang Yao’s clinic. He met Wang Yao, who had just come out from the clinic to go home for lunch. “Xiao Yao.”
“Uncle, what’s up?” Wang Yao saw the old man and hurriedly asked.
“Oh, there is something,” the old man said.
“Do you want to go into the room?” Wang Yao asked.
“No, we can just say it here,” the old man said. “Zecheng has been in trouble the past two days. I heard from my daughter-in-law that you guessed he would be unlucky these two days?”
The son was not filial to him, but he cared very much about his son.
“Don’t worry about this,” Wang Yao said. “It will be better soon.”
“Really?” the old man asked.
“Really, why would I lie to you?” Wang Yao asked.
“Oh, then I am relieved,” the old man said.
“And you, if you are not feeling well, don’t come out. You should stay in the house and have a good rest,” Wang Yao said.
The body of this old man was already extremely bad. If he fell now, he might never get up again.
It was late at night. On Nanshan Hill, there was a yellow light, which was not extinguished until midnight. Nothing happened overnight.
The next morning, there was crying in the village. Someone had died during the night.
