Chapter 542: It Was a Mountain and a Battle Array

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The mountain was not even 100 feet high, but there was a big difference going up and coming down the mountain.

“This mountain is a big battle array!” Lin Sitao looked back at Nanshan Hill behind him.

“A big battle array?” Hao also looked at it. He was different from Lin Sitao. He was less experienced and had never encountered such a thing before. “It must be. Otherwise, why would there be such a big gap? And, how can the mountains be lush in such a season?”

“No wonder he lives in this mountain village,” Lin Sitao said. “I am afraid that most of it is because of this mountain.”

If Wang Yao would have been with them, they most likely would have given him a compliment. He stayed in the mountain village because of the mountain forest.

“He contracted this mountain?” Hao asked.

“Yes,” Lin Sitao said. “I wonder how that happened.”

“Is it enough?” Hao asked.

“Enough?” Lin Sitao was stunned. He then understood what Hao meant. “Yeah, it should not be enough. Go back and talk to the young master. He will do this.”

…

Wang Yao did not know what would happen because of this incident. He was still on the mountain. Panax Notoginseng, dragon’s blood, Spergularia…

There were two ordinary medicines that needed to be processed. He called Li Maoshuang.

“No problem. I will send it to you as soon as possible,” Li Maoshuang said.

“Thank you,” Wang Yao said.

He went down the mountain at noon. When he got home, he heard his mother mention that people in the village were changing houses.

“There are more than 100 households registered in the village,” she said.

“More than 100 people? Isn’t it half empty in the village?” Wang Yao asked.

“Almost. There are a lot of people in the village who have recently visited the real estate. The construction speed is very fast,” she replied.

“Did you go there too?” Wang Yao asked.

“No.” Zhang Xiuying smiled and waved her hand.

“Listen to me, mother, it is good to live in the village,” Wang Yao said.

“Well, your dad and I think so,” Zhang Xiuying said.

After eating, Wang Yao did not go up the mountain to the medical center. Instead, he accompanied his mother to the county town to buy some things and visit his sister.

“What? Buy a house?” When they saw Wang Ru, they learned that Du Mingyang had bought a new house.

“How much is it?” Zhang Xiuying asked.

“Enough,” Wang Ru said.

“If it is not enough, you must let me know,” Zhang Xiuying said.

When Du Mingyang heard that his future mother-in-law was coming to visit, he had hurriedly left work to accompany them shopping.

“You don’t have to accompany me,” Zhang Xiuying said. “Go back to work. I’m sure work is very busy.”

“It’s no problem,” he said. “This is what I should do.”

Once he told Wang Ru he wanted to buy a house, she took out hundreds of thousands of her savings, which had moved him greatly. He would write their names on the property ownership certificate since they were to marry, which was a lifelong matter, not a childish game.

Du Mingyang took them a nice restaurant for dinner. By the time Wang Yao and his mother returned home, it was already after 8 p.m.

…

The next day, a guest visited the county party secretary. It was a very respectable guest.

“Sun Yunsheng!” Wang Jianli was surprised by the visit.

“Secretary Wang, there is something I want to trouble you with,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Please speak,” Wang Jianli hurriedly said.

Sun Yunsheng had a big consortium behind him. Even the leaders in the county and city respected him…

“I want to contract the barren hills that are idle in the village,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Contract the barren hills?” Wang Jianli was shocked.

The western and eastern hills in the village were quite limited because the mountains were rocky and the terrain was not flat. Only a few places had been opened for farmland, so contracting them was vital.

“What, is there any difficulty?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Oh, no. I have to think about it,” Wang Jianli said. “And, I have to have a village committee decide.”

“OK. There is no hurry,” Sun Yunsheng said.

After finishing their discussion, Sun Yunsheng left.

“Contract the barren hills?” Wang Jianli was puzzled. “What does he want to do by contracting those barren hills? Did he find something on the mountain?”

He did not rush to talk to the two village committees. Instead, he returned home to discuss it with his wife.

“Contract the barren hills?” she asked.

“Correct,” Wang Jianli said.

“That is a good thing,” she said. “Those mountains are idle, so it is better to contract out.”

“But, what does he want to do by contracting it?” Wang Jianli asked.

“What is it to you? Maybe he is just rich and wants to make an investment,” his wife said. “Maybe he wants to plant some fruits and vegetables in the mountains. Don’t people in some big cities now advocate pollution-free food?”

After discussing it with his wife, he decided to go convene the village committee to discuss this matter in the afternoon. Several village committee members gathered in the brigade house.

“Contract the barren hills. Is this mountain well contracted?” the village director asked.

“Maybe I want to get a mountain pasture,” another committee member said.

“We don’t understand the ideas of a rich man,” Wang Jianli said. “What do you think? Should the hill be contracted to him?”

“Why not,” the village director said. “This is good for us. As long as there is no harm in the benefits, there are no other uses for the two mountains except for the cherry and chestnut trees. Sun Yunsheng has a strong background. If we don’t contract to him, he might directly go to the county. I don’t know how many people in other places want to take the initiative to talk with him.”

“Yeah, so many people in the village are waiting for the house in the county,” a committee member said.

This was actually a very important reason. If Sun Yunsheng was unhappy because of this incident, he might refuse the things that had already been settled. People in the village would scold the committee once they knew.

Then, they discussed the scope of the contract. Most of the western and the eastern hills could be contracted.

“Hey, the two mountains and Nanshan Hill that Xiaoyao contracted are connected together, but it can be explained,” a committee member said.

Since the matter was settled, Wang Jianli personally went to the Sun family’s new house and told Sun Yunsheng.

“No problem, Secretary Wang, we may wish to make some things clear on this mountain. As for the mountains and all deserted mountains in the future that I contracted, I will transfer them out.” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Transfer out? To whom?” Wang Jianli asked.

“Doctor Wang,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Xiao Yao?” Wang Jianli was shocked.

“Yes, him. But, don’t let other people know,” Sun Yunsheng said.

When Wang Jianli left the Sun residence, he felt confused. He didn’t understand why this young man wanted to contract the hills for Wang Yao. Is it not enough for Xiaoyao to plant Chinese medicine herbs? But, I haven’t heard it from him, and his face is too big. This child worked hard to make friends with him.

He kept the secret. He didn’t even say anything to his wife.

…

After leaving the medical center, Pan Jun followed Wang Yao to learn the medical skills of massage. Around 4 p.m., Li Maoshuang drove to the mountain village to bring Wang Yao the drugs he needed.

“Thank you,” Wang Yao said.

“You are welcome,” Li Maoshuang said. He then looked at Pan Jun studying and asked with a smile, “Hey, are you here to learn?”

“Yes,” Pan Jun said.

“Oh, that’s hard work,” Li Maoshuang said.

When people reached middle age, few were willing to continue their studies.

“Are you free tomorrow?” Wang Yao said.

“I am free, what happened?” Li Maoshuang asked.

“Let’s get together. I’ll treat you to a meal,” Wang Yao said.

Li Maoshuang agreed.

“Good. Let’s meet at the old place,” Wang Yao said.

After the Chinese New Year, Wang Yao had wanted to invite him for dinner. He usually got along well with his friends. In the New Year, it was natural for these people to come to his home. Among his friends, he was the youngest. Generally speaking, he should visit Tian Yuantu for the Spring Festival.

“Our hospital wants to hire some experts for consultation. Are you interested, master?” Pan Jun asked.

“Am I an expert?” Wang Yao asked with a smile.

“If you are not, who is qualified?” Pan Jun asked.

“I won’t go. You know I don’t like it,” Wang Yao said.

Pan Jun nodded.

When Wang Yao just closed the door of the clinic, he saw a person hurriedly rush over with a child who was crying.

“Xiao Yao, can you give my child a quick check.” The man was flustered.

Wang Yao quickly opened the door of the clinic.
