“I think she should be fine for now. Let’s get out of here so that she can have a rest,” Wang Yao said.
“Thank you! Thank you, Dr. Wang.” The villager was really appreciative.
“You are welcome. Don’t give her anything to stimulate the contraction. Let her lay down for a while,” Wang Yao said.
The villager agreed and went into the room to see his wife.
“Darling, how are you feeling?” he asked.
“I’m fine. The contraction pain is much better. I have a warm and nice feeling in my belly now. Don’t worry about me. Go and keep Dr. Wang company,” his wife said.
“Okay, you have a good rest. Let me know if you need me,” the man said.
Wang Mingbao lit a cigarette in the courtyard. “Is she gonna be alright?”
“For now, yes, but I’m not sure how long the effect of the pill will last,” Wang Yao said.
Regardless, she was going to give birth. To be honest, Wang Yao didn’t expect his Nine grass pill could protect the baby. He was a bit surprised. Maybe the Nine grass pill was like Regather soup, which could be used for almost all kinds of medical conditions.
“Dr. Wang, thank you very much for helping my wife. You work so hard; please have a cup of tea.” The villager carried a teapot and two teacups out of the house. He served each of them a cup of tea.
The tea looked muddy and yellow. It tasted bitter.
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
The villager breathed a big sigh of relief. He knew the biggest problem hadn’t been solved. His wife would give birth sooner or later. She was just stable for now. He was still worried but didn’t know what to do. The armed police force and local policemen were outside. He couldn’t get by them. But, there was no midwife in the village to deliver the baby. What bad luck he had! He felt helpless and angry.
“It should be on its way here,” Wang Yao said softly.
“What are you talking about?” Wang Mingbao asked.
“The ambulance,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“They are not gonna come,” Wang Mingbao said. He looked a bit sad while saying it.
The trip to this village made him see things he had never seen before. He had seen true love between people or the cold aspect of this world.
Wang Yao also felt powerless and helpless. As expected, he couldn’t do anything he wanted to do. He was not omnipotent. There were always things he couldn’t solve.
“I feel tired,” Wang Yao said suddenly.
“Go and take a nap,” Wang Mingbao said.
“I want to wait here for another while,” Wang Yao said.
An ambulance came to the village one and half an hour later.
“What? Picking up a patient? Are you sure?” The head person of the armed police force was surprised.
A moment later, he received a phone call from his superior, which made him more surprised and confused.
“So, you are gonna transfer the pregnant woman out of the village? What if she is infected?” the policeman in charge asked.
“What? The ambulance is here?” The pregnant woman’s husband was thrilled. He was almost in tears as he got the news.
“The ambulance really came?” Wang Mingbao asked.
“Good, I can take a break now,” Wang Yao said as he went back inside the house.
He didn’t know what Chen Jingzhi had done to make this happen. As a medical person, saving people was supposed to be his job, but things had changed so much.
Wang Yao went inside the house to lay on the bed.
“Are you really gonna take a nap now?” Wang Mingbao asked.
Wang Yao wouldn’t feel tired even if he hadn’t slept in days. For no reason, he felt tired not both mentally and physically. He couldn’t fall asleep while lying on the bed. A lot of things were going on in his mind. He thought about the water grass, kids in the village, the dying old man, and the pregnant woman who had been taken by the ambulance. The people were like slides showing in Wang Yao’s mind.
That’s too much! Sleep!
Wang Yao finally fell into sleep.
“Hey, you really fell into a deep sleep!” Wang Mingbao found Wang Yao sleeping while entering the room. “It’s good you are resting. Well, I should go and find Miss Han.”
…
In Jia county.
Chen Jingzhi was talking to the two people coming with him.
“Professor Chen, why did you have to save this person?” one of them asked.
The two people didn’t quite understand why Chen Jingzhi had to bring the pregnant woman out of the village.
They came here to solve the issue. They had to work together with the local medical department and hospital. They tried not to interfere with the work of the local medical department, let alone causing any trouble. Chen Jingzhi made things difficult for the local medical department. It appeared to be easy to bring a pregnant woman out of the area where the contagious disease started. However, it was actually quite risky to do so.
Chen Jingzhi didn’t respond. He just looked through the window quietly. He had received a call in the morning, an unexpected call from someone who only said one sentence.
“Try your best to satisfy whatever Wang Yao requires,” the person on the other end of the phone said.
The person wanted Chen Jingzhi to try his very best. It really surprised Chen Jingzhi.
He heard that the young doctor cured an important person in Beijing. It appeared that the rumor was true. Wang Yao was a distinguished guest of that prestigious family in Beijing. Since the person holding a high position in Beijing had given the instruction, Chen Jingzhi was sure to try his best. However, it was not an easy task to do.
People from the local medical department treated him with respect and complied with his demands, but they wouldn’t take his words seriously if his requests were related to certain principals. They wouldn’t follow his instructions if he risked anyone’s career in the local medical department. They simply didn’t want to get involved.
Even if Chen Jingzhi’s request was related to a person’s life, they wouldn’t do anything about it as long as it was not a life-threatening situation to them. Thinking about this, Chen Jingzhi sighed. He couldn’t do anything more.
…
Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao went to check the two sheep in the late afternoon. The sun had almost gone.
“The two sheep seem to have lost weight,” Wang Mingbao said.
“You are right. They are so thin,” Wang Yao said.
“Hey, eat more. Don’t wait until it’s too late,” Wang Mingbao told the two sheep.
Bar!
I should give up all those unrealistic thoughts, Wang Yao thought.
He was still observing the two sheep. He needed to make sure the herbs worked and determined the dose.
“I need to go into the well,” Wang Yao said.
“Why?” Wang Mingbao asked.
“Because of the water grass,” Wang Yao said.
“What are you going to do with the water grass?” Wang Mingbao asked.
“I want to contribute something to the village,” Wang Yao said.
He suddenly thought of something. Then, he jumped into the well, which had been blocked. After a while, he came out without any water on his clothes. Wang Mingbao was not so surprised this time. Wang Yao put the water grass he took in a big water tank.
“My brain hasn’t been functioning properly,” Wang Yao murmured.
“What?” Wang Mingbao asked with surprise. “What do you mean?”
“Why did I just think of it?” Wang Yao asked himself.
He moved the water tank.
Wait! Do my eyes have a problem?
Wang Mingbao rubbed his eyes hard. He was pretty sure there was not much water left in the tank. How come the tank was filled with water a second later? Wang Mingbao started to doubt his memory. Or, it’s something else, he thought.
Walla-walla! The water came out of the tank. What came out of the tank was not normal water. It was the ancient spring water. Wang Yao was going to nurture the water grass with ancient spring water.
“What are you doing?” Wang Mingbao asked.
“Trying to make the water grass grow fast,” Wang Yao said.
“I think you should have another nap,” Wang Mingbao said with confusion.
“I’m fine. I feel perfectly fine now. Don’t worry about me,” Wang Yao said.
He should have thought about this method earlier. Fortunately, it was not too late. Sometimes, certain things and methods were just so obvious, yet people still couldn’t see them.
Wang Mingbao didn’t stop Wang Yao. He just looked at the tank filled with water.
“The tank was almost empty,” Wang Mingbao said.
“What?” Wang Yao asked, feeling dazed for a second.
“Yeah, I believe it was empty,” Wang Mingbao said. “How come it suddenly was filled with water?”
“You wanna know?” Wang Yao asked.
“Of course, I really want to know,” Wang Mingbao said.
Wang Yao took the tank and shook it in front of Wang Mingbao. Then, he brought the tank closer to him before showing it to Wang Mingbao. Suddenly, the empty tank was filled with water by half.
“Is this really water?” Wang Mingbao took some water to taste. The water tasted sweet.
“Oh my god! What is this?” Wang Mingbao was dazed again.
“Have you seen magic called making a living human being appear out of nowhere? I just made water appear out of nowhere,” Wang Yao said.
“This is amazing,” Wang Mingbao said after a while.
Wang Yao laughed. It would only take one day to double or triple the amount of water grass. He could use the water grass to make soup for the villagers to take. The soup could be considered some sort of vaccine.
As expected, the water grass had grown a lot overnight.
Good! It worked.
He started to boil water in a big pot. He then put water grass into the pot.
“So, you want me to give this to everyone in the village to drink?” The secretary was confused.
“Yes,” Wang Yao said.
“What can it do?” the secretary asked.
“It will prevent the disease from spreading and treat the disease,” Wang Yao said.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it right away,” the secretary said. Since Wang Yao had given the instruction, the secretary took action right away. For all the villagers, nothing right now was worse than the disease.
