337 Initial Effect of the Medicine (1/2)
This is so difficult! Wang Yao sighed.
A hundred people from a thousand miles away.
Fortunately, the time allotted was two months, instead of a month. He had some time to find a way.
In another mountain village in Lianshan County, the look in the patient's eyes as she laid on the kang was drifting. She looked as though she was going to die.
Ah.
She let out a weak cry, but there was no one in the room.
Her eyes were slowly closing. If they were shut, it was afraid that she could never open them again.
”Mother!”
She heard someone shouting and calling for her. She felt that the voice was very familiar and she wanted to open her eyes and see. However, she felt that she had no strength at all, not even enough to open her eyes.
”Father!”
Jiqing was very anxious upon seeing his mother's condition.
His father hurriedly rushed over from the courtyard. He was also anxious upon seeing the situation.
”Quick. Give her the medicine.”
He took out some medicine and he just managed to force one of them into her. There was no immediate visible effect.
”This… This…”
”There are more.”
He immediately took out the three Nine Herbs pill given by Wang Yao and fed her all of them.
After waiting for a while, they thought that the old woman could not make it.
Then, the patient lying on the kang slowly opened her eyes.
Phew.
”Jiqing.”
”Mother, you're awake.”
The process was just ten minutes, but her family felt as though it had been a century long.
The woman lying on the bed felt that she had a long dream. She was walking in the dark night alone and could not see her surroundings clearly. She could not even see anything under her feet clearly. There was no one around and not a single sound. She just kept walking, as if there was no end. Suddenly, a light pierced through the endless darkness. She returned to the world and saw her loved ones and their worried facial expressions.
She was alive!
”She's awake. She's awake.”
The whole family heaved a sigh of relief, but it didn't take long for them to start worrying again.
This was not the first time that such a situation had happened. She was getting closer to death by the moment. She could be saved this time, but what about the next time? What about in the future? How long could she still hold out? No one could tell.
Sigh.
The whole family surrounded by fear once again.
Sigh. Was this daytime or nighttime?
Although they were husband and wife for decades, he had enough.
After all, people needed sleep. But if they took a nap and dozed off, their loved one might leave them forever by the time they woke up.
Therefore, when there was a person in the family who was ill, the whole family had to go through agony.
When is this life coming to an end?
The night had fallen and it was getting late.
…
After dinner, Chen Changfeng asked his mother, ”Mother, how are you feeling?”
”I feel quite well. My head hasn't hurt for a day already. I'll certainly be able to sleep well tonight.”
Ever since she suffered from the strange illness, having a good sleep was a luxury that was hard to come by. However, she felt that she could definitely sleep well that day, and could even sleep through until the morning.
”When you're free, take me to thank Dr. Wang.”
”We'll talk about it when you've recovered,” Chen Changfeng replied.
…
That night, Wang Yao was thinking about something while looking at the sky in the small courtyard.
How should I use the medicine? How should I test it?
He had been thinking about the tumor these past few days.
Ring, ring. Buzz. Just as he was wracking his brain, his phone rang. It was a phone number which he didn't recognize, with an international number.
”Hello, what are you doing?” There was a clear voice like a mountain stream on the other end of the phone. It was Tong Wei, the beauty who was far away in France.
”I'm looking at the sky on the hill,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
”Do you miss me?”
”I do!” Wang Yao answered with a smile.
”I'm coming back soon,” Tong Wei who was on the other end of the phone said.
”When are you coming back? I'll pick you up at the airport,” Wang Yao replied hurriedly.
”A week later. I'll give you a call when the time is confirmed.”
”Sure.”
Both of them only hung up after chatting for quite some time.
She's coming back so soon?
Well, come to think of it, Tong Wei had actually left more than two months ago. Wang Yao had not been idle during this period of time.
It's good for her to be back.
That night, Wang Yao went to bed very late. He did not turn off the lights until past 11 o'clock at night.
Early morning the next day, the sky was clear and the autumn wind was refreshing.
The weather had became a lot cooler. The temperature had dropped to less than 25 degrees. Autumn was truly coming.
In the morning, Wang Yao returned home and realized that his mother was packing clothes for him.
”Mother, what are you doing?”
”These are autumn clothes. It's cool on the hill. Don't catch a cold,” Zhang Xiuying replied as she packed his clothes.
”Aye, neither the hot nor cold could not invade me. Even during winter, it's not a problem for me to just wear a short-sleeved shirt.”
”Don't be ridiculous.”
She did not know that her son was speaking the truth.
