It was still raining. The ambiance felt harmonious.
After dinner, they went to Wang Yao’s clinic to have some tea.
“The tea is delicious!” Jia Zizai sighed.
“This tea is from Nanshan Hill. If you like it, you can take some back with you.” Wang Yao took out a packet of tea without any packaging. Inside the packet was tea that had been dried and stir-fried by someone else. Although it did not have any exquisite packaging, the quality of the tea within it exceeded 99% of the tea that could be found on the market.
“Thank you, Sir.” Jia Zizai was not shy about it and took the tea from Wang Yao.
He thought to himself, This is a good start!
The afternoon passed quietly amidst leisurely chats. The sky quietly darkened.
“Do you have some time this evening?” Jia Zizai asked.
“Well, yes, what’s the matter?” Wang Yao replied.
“I’d like to invite you to have dinner at our house,” Jia Zizai said.
Wang Yao thought for a moment before replying, “That sounds good!” He had nothing to do that night anyway.
“Can Liuchuan come along?”
“Sure,” Jia Zizai replied.
After agreed Wang Yao agreed, Jia Zizai and Hu Mei left and went home to prepare dinner.
“What does Sir like to eat?”
“Well, I’m not sure,” Jia Zizai replied. “Hmm, make it as plentiful as possible.”
“Alright.”
Jia Zizai went shopping for ingredients while Hu Mei began preparing at home. Their efforts resulted in a table full of dishes and two bottles of good wine.
“Alright, everything’s ready!”
In the evening, Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan came to their home one after another. The house’s decorations were cozy, simple, and elegant. The home was pleasant to look at and had a nice ambiance.
“Sir, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I prepared a few dishes. I hope you like them.”
“It’s very plentiful, thank you,” Wang Yao said. Honestly, he did not have many demands regarding food and drinks. As long as it was filling and healthy, that was enough.
The four chatted and laughed. It seemed they were slowly getting closer to each other.
After dinner, Wang Yao went up Nanshan Hill like he normally did.
He stood in the herbal field and looked up at the sky. He thought, That’s strange. The sky looks a little weird today! He had never seen such a phenomenon before. Toward the southwest, there was a faint yellow. However, ordinary people could not see it. Even if they saw it, they would not think much of it.
Nothing strange is happening there, is it? Wang Yao wondered.
Hundreds of miles away, in the southwest portion of the country, there were strong winds, hail, and lightning. Loud crashes rang out as the hail rained down, damaging countless farmlands, trees, and grass. Some animals were killed by the hail. People who could not get out of the hail in time were injured. This sudden hail was said to be the worst one recorded in the city in decades. The relevant meteorological departments did not make a timely forecast.
The next morning, Wang Yao and Zhong Liuchuan practiced boxing on the mountain as they watched Jia Zizai jogging far away.
“Liuchuan, would you mind having another Junior?”
“That depends on how Sir feels,” Zhong Liuchuan said. He knew what Wang Yao’s thoughts were. He had probably already accepted Jia Zizai.
“Wait a little longer.”
“Alright.”
Due to the previous day’s rain, the weather quite cool.
That morning, three people came to the clinic. They were the ones who had visited a few days ago. The woman’s complexion was much better. Her face was ruddy. Her eyes were much brighter, and her steps were brisk.
“Hello, Dr. Wang.”
This time, the attitude of the three people toward him was obviously more respectful than before.
In less than four days, a dose of medicine seemed to have completely changed the patient.
Facts spoke louder than words.
All their suspicions had been dispelled and replaced with admiration and conviction.
“Your complexion looks much better,” Wang Yao said.
“Yes, I feel as if my entire body has been changed,” the woman sincerely said. “The headache has become weaker, and I can fall asleep at night. The symptom of being thirsty is basically gone. Your medicine is amazing.”
“You have not been thoroughly treated yet,” Wang Yao said. “Would you like to have two more doses of medicine?”
“Oh, yes!”
This time, they did not hesitate at all. They were not as reluctant as they were the last time.
“Just a moment.”
The three people quietly waited. In another room, Wang Yao brewed the medicine.
“All done.”
The medicine still cost the same price, but they happily paid for it.
“May I ask how long we need to stay here for, Dr. Wang?”
“We’ll see the effects after you have taken this medicine,” Wang Yao said. “If the effect is good, you can go back, rest, and come back later.”
“OK, thank you.”
The three of them left after taking the medicine. They all felt relieved.
“Well, our previous worries were superfluous,” the slightly younger man said.
Before they arrived, they were worried whether the doctor would hate them because they had been somewhat disrespectful the last time. As a result, they feared he would no longer treat them, which would be troublesome. After less than four days of treatment, they realized that the young doctor’s medical skills were as good as the rumors said. He could treat any illness. The woman’s illness was about to be cured. If all their efforts were to be wasted due to the last impolite act, they would have regrets and feel guilty, especially the old man.
“Should we wait here for another three days?”
“Yes.”
The three returned to Lianshan county.
Wang Yao was alone in the clinic. When no patients arrived, he took out his cellphone and looked at the news. One piece of news immediately caught his attention. The previous night, hail had broken out in hundreds of miles away. The size of the hail was very large. It had done a lot of damage, especially to the glass windows and bodies of vehicles parked outdoors. Even more surprising was that there were more than a dozen people injured by the hail. They had been admitted to the hospital. One of them was seriously injured. The patient was still in the intensive care unit and not yet out of danger.
Lai State, southwest… Was that last night’s sky anomaly?
These things, which seemed to be out of line and completely unrelated to each other, were connected in Wang Yao’s mind.
He took out an unused book from the table and carefully recorded the sky anomaly. He drew a simple picture, which was not very beautiful, that he could understand.
Thousands of miles away, in a small county in southern Yunnan…
“What does this mean?” Guo Zhenghe looked at the report in front of him. He was angry.
The chief of police, who was standing in front of him, bowed his head and said nothing. His expression was bleak.
“In three days, 11 people have died. Tell me, how should I report this to the city? Take a look at the news on the Internet. It’s almost viral. I received a phone call from Governor Liu of the province just now, and he asked about it!”
For any place, so many casualties in such a short period of time would be a major event that needed to be solved as soon as possible. Moreover, those 11 people had been from the same village but the deaths happened in numerous places, including in the mountains, at residences, and in vehicles. To their utmost surprise, they had not found any clues to the cause.
“What did forensics say?”
“The autopsy is still in progress, but, so far, no abnormal signs have been found.”
“No abnormal signs have been found, yet 11 people have died in a village, including men, women, old, and young. Are you telling me it’s a coincidence?”
“This…” The chief of police did not know how to answer the question. It was not a coincidence, no matter how they looked at this matter, but no clues had been found.
“You guys are so disappointing!”
