Chapter 400: Why Not Be Shameless When People Get Old?

“Hello.”

“May I speak with you privately?”

Chen Jingzhi knew a little about the person in front of him. He really did not know why Wang Yao was here.

“Sure.”

The conversation between the two was relatively secretive.

“These are the two types of plants I’ve gotten from the village. They have obvious therapeutic effects on the illness. I’ve already tested it on the sheep.” Wang Yao gave Chen Jingzhi the water plants that were obtained from the well and the leaves of the plant on top of the tomb.

“Alright. I’ll deal with it as soon as possible. Thank you.” Chen Jingzhi knew the importance of these two things. “Is there anything else?”

“When can we leave?” Wang Yao asked.

“I’ll implement it as soon as possible,” Chen Jingzhi replied.

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The officer who came with him was very curious. Professor Chen was said to have come from Jing. He was a specialist in internal medicine and infectious diseases. He was extremely well-known in the field. He was a lot more prominent than Director Long, but how did he know someone from the village?

A doubt was still a doubt. He hid it deep inside his heart.

Chen Jingzhi only looked for Wang Yao after he came and said a few words. He then left after taking a bag of things from Wang Yao.

“Did Professor Chen go there just to meet a person?”

People would definitely pay attention to his actions in the mountain village.

“Yes.”

“Who was it?”

“He’s Wang Yao. He’s not a local. He’s from somewhere else.”

“I know Wang Yao,” Professor Long said.

“Oh?”

“He’s a doctor. He came here to treat the children of the elementary school in the mountain village,” Director Long said.

“Treat the children? So, the villagers have long been infected with this illness?”

“Yes, but the strange thing is that the children have recovered,” Director Long replied.

“They’ve recovered?” The officer who was talking to Director Long was very surprised.

“That’s right.”

“What about their blood?”

“It has already been collected, but we still need time to determine the specific ingredients that play the role,” Director Long answered.

“The higher-ups are paying great attention to this matter.”

“We’re doing our best. I’ve also researched a Chinese medicine formula, which is being tested,” Director Long said.

“Great, great, great. If a drug to control the epidemic can be developed in a short period of time, you’ll gain the highest honor. I’ll report it to the higher-ups accurately.”

Just like that, the creator of the formula Wang Yao provided had changed in just a blink of an eye. The key thing was that he said it so frankly and righteously. Sure enough, some people had really thick faces.

In the mountain village.

A bonfire was burning. A chicken was being grilled until brown. It gave off a tempting aroma. Looking at the chicken, Wang Mingbao, who had a cigarette dangling from his lips, asked, “Who’s that person who came today?”

“A medical specialist from Jing,” Wang Yao said.

“Why did he look for you?”

“I’m the one who looked for him. There are ingredients in the water plants and leaves that can treat the illness. It’s appropriate to give them to him. Perhaps a relevant drug can be produced from the research soon,” Wang Yao replied.

“Chicken isn’t as delicious as mutton,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Love really makes people stupid,” Wang Yao responded.

“What does it have to do with the topic we’re talking about?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“What does this have to do with chicken and mutton?” Wang Yao replied.

The grilled chicken still tasted good. After Wang Yao used some special seasonings, it tasted even more delicious.

In Bingzhou.

“What? Impossible? Why? Why do people have to stay in there if they’re not infected?”

“Who can guarantee that there’s no incubation period for the illness? If they’re allowed to leave, they’ll carry the virus to other places. Who will be responsible for this?”

Chen Jingzhi found the local department and hoped to transfer those who were not sick out of the village, leaving only the people who were infected. In fact, the epidemic had now been relatively under effective control. The next thing to do was quickly develop drugs.

Chen Jingzhi did not argue with the personnel of the local department too much after listening. This matter was originally the arrangement of that person. He was just trying his best. He would have to report the results later.

“I got it.” Chen Boyuan did not look too good after listening.

He did not tell Song Ruiping about it. He only hoped that he could do it through his own connections. However, the locals did not cooperate. They were also afraid of taking risks. After all, there were lessons from the past.

“This is a trouble!”

In the village, Wang Yao responded with a smile while looking at the old man lying on the kang, “It’s not.”

“Did he also get the infectious illness?”

“No.”

After dinner, the secretary suddenly came to Gong Aiguo’s house. He was anxious. He wanted Wang Yao to treat a patient. They went to his house to have a look. It turned out that the secretary’s father, who was 80 years old, fell ill. This made him anxious. The current situation in the village was terrible. Many people were ill. His father was too old. If he was infected with the illness that caused vomiting and, it was uncertain whether his body could withstand it. Hence, the secretary hurriedly looked for Wang Yao.

“What’s wrong with him?” he asked.

“It’s just a common cold,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“A cold?” the secretary asked.

“Yes. When people get old, their bodies are weaker. You can cook some ginseng soup to invigorate his body. He needs more rest and eat more of something good,” Wang Yao replied.

“Alright. Thank you.”

Umm. Wang Yao still wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words.

After leaving the house, Wang Mingbao asked, “What’s wrong? I saw that you wanted to say something just now.”

“The old man has less than a month left,” Wang Yao answered.

“What? Didn’t you say that he’s fine just now?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“Did I say that?” Wang Yao asked seriously.

“Umm, it seems that you really didn’t say that.” Wang Mingbao carefully recalled what Wang Yao said in the secretary’s house. Wang Yao did not say that the old man was fine. He only asked him to rest more and eat more of something good.

Patients were most afraid of that particular line spoken by doctors. He should eat what he should. This was usually an euphemism. You’re terminally ill, and it can’t be cured. Move on.

“What illness does he have then?”

“I said that he has a cold,” Wang Yao said.

“Crap. Don’t joke around. How can someone die from a cold? What era are we in?” Wang Mingbao replied.

“People can die from colds. The old man is at death’s door. It’s a natural aging process. This is the law of nature. No one can defy it.”

Wang Yao had taken a look when he diagnosed the old man. His current condition was the failure of his body. It was a natural aging process. This situation was the same as Guo Sirou’s grandfather in Jing. The Prolongation pill could prolong his life, but it was just a prolongation.

“Is there no way?”

“No. I’m not a god,” Wang Yao responded.

“If there’s no way, then let’s go back and sleep.”

After that, they went back to sleep. However, someone could not fall asleep. A patient died in Jiaxian. All the specialists rushed over after receiving the news.

“What’s going on? Wasn’t the condition said to be already under control? Wasn’t there a way already?”

“This… We don’t know what’s wrong!”

They conducted analyses and an autopsy overnight.

“There’s a failure in the kidneys, liver and heart.”

“How could this be?”

No one understood why. This sudden change made everyone feel heavy at heart. Epidemics were scary. What was scarier was the massive spread and deaths. Although the massive spread had not happened, someone died. If one person died, then there would be a second person. They were facing an immense pressure.

Chen Jingzhi did not fall asleep in the guest room. There was a huge pile of materials on the table beside the bed. They were information about the epidemic that broke out just a few days ago. He had just came back from the county hospital. He had also seen the condition of the dead patient.

The problem was difficult to handle. Time was tight. The number of deaths had to be controlled. Otherwise, it would cause a huge panic.

He had previously participated in an epidemic control. The danger in it was far from what outsiders could think of.

The sun rose as usual the next day. It was quite bright, but a considerable number of people were in a bad mood.

“The tree leaves are effective.” Wang Yao stared at the sheep, which was eating the tree leaves happily.

“How should the ingredients inside be extracted?” Wang Mingbao asked.

“This requires a special equipment. Oh right, why aren’t you staying by Han Jia’s side?” Wang Yao asked.

“She has already recovered. She has to teach the children too,” Wang Mingbao replied.

“Are they still having classes in this situation?” Wang Yao asked.

“A good habit should be fostered, rain or shine,” Wang Mingbao said.
