Chapter 988 Strange AilmenRecently, three young people from the village had come to find Wang Yao for treatment. They went to the clinic every day. Their illnesses were quite unique. They fell ill at a specific time every day. Their bodies convulsed, and they lost the ability to make any sounds, but they were always conscious.

Wang Yao diagnosed them and found that they were infected with a special toxin. The cause of their illness was very strange. All three of them had gone to the same mountain and returned with symptoms of the disease on the same day. During the start of the illness, the symptoms did not persist for long. As time went by, the length of the symptoms during the fixed time they happened gradually became longer.

“Did you guys touch anything special when you were on the mountain?” Wang Yao was very curious as to how they got infected with this special illness.

“Well, about that…” The three young people hesitated when they heard the question.

A young man, who was the leader of the group, stood up and said, “I’ll tell him.”

“We’ve been to a place. It was a collapsed tomb.”

“An ancient tomb?”

“Yes, but it can hardly be considered an ancient tomb,” the leader said. “It should be a tomb from the Republic of China. There were no decent protection there. It was just circled off.”

“Did you guys go in?” Wang Yao asked.

“Well, we were curious. We went in to have a look.”

“Ha-ha!” Wang Yao laughed.

Young people were quite interesting. Those tombs had always been regarded as an unlucky symbol. Other than the days where visiting them was mandatory, the living were usually unwilling to even go and visit the tombs of their relatives. Of course, those ancient tombs with treasures inside were exceptions. These young people were interesting. They actually wanted to go in and have a look in such a tomb.

“What was in there?” Wang Yao asked.

“Nothing much,” the leader said. “There was just a broken coffin.”

“Did you guys touch it?”

“Yes, we just patted it.”

“What courage,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

Ordinary people thought it was unlucky to see those things and insisted on taking a detour. He hadn’t expected these young men to be so brave and eccentric. They actually wanted to touch other people’s coffins.

“Dr. Wang, can you treat our illness?”

“Yes,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

After conversing for a bit, Wang Yao started the treatment. During his treatment, he realized that the toxins in these three young people were more stubborn than he had thought. That’s right, they were stubborn. The young men were not rid of the toxins until they had taken Antidote Powder for three consecutive days.

“Alright, the toxins in your bodies have been completely detoxified,” Wang Yao said.

“Are we really cured?”

“You guys know best if you’ve already been cured,” Wang Yao said. “You weren’t sick yesterday, right?”

“No.”

They replied in unison. In fact, they had felt the effects of the medicine the first time they had taken it. Although they still got sick, the duration of the symptoms had shortened by half. At that time, they felt elated and shocked.

It had worked. They had made the right choice in going to the village clinic.

After only the first treatment, they saw hope. They had no hesitation and were eager to carry out the next treatment.

Something even more surprising happened on the second day. The did not become sick at all that day.

The three of them were so happy that they couldn’t fall asleep for almost the entire night.

Now that Wang Yao had told them they were cured, they were over the moon. At the same time, they had worries as to whether the illness would relapse.

“If I said that you’re cured, that means that you are cured,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you, Dr. Wang.”

The three paid for the treatment and happily left.

“Hey, do you think we’re fully cured. Will it recur?”

“That’s easy. Since we’re already here, we’ll stay another two days here. We’ll wait and see. If we don’t have another episode in a few days, we can be sure that our illness is gone for good. If we fall sick, we’ll just go and find him again.”

“Yes, that’s settled.”

Just like that, the three young people returned to their hotel in Lianshan County’s town center instead of returning home.

Not long after lunch, a guest arrived in the clinic. Wang Yao was surprised by the visit.

It was Guo Sirou.

The beauty was still as pretty as a flower, albeit a little thin.

“Why are you here?” Wang Yao asked.

Guo Sirou sighed softly as she said, “I came to find you. I have something to ask of you.”

“Come, have a seat and tell me what the problem is.”

Guo Sirou sat down and said, “I’d like to ask you for treatment.”

“Treatment? For you?” Wang Yao asked with a smile.

“You don’t have any major physical problems. You just need to rest well. Let it go, and don’t think too much.” Wang Yao could see that Guo Sirou felt quite burdened.

“It’s not me,” she said. “It’s my younger brother. It’s Zhenghe.”

“Mr. Guo? What’s the matter with him?”

“He’s in He County,” Guo Sirou said. “He has been infected by poisonous insects.”

“Poisonous insects from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, it was from there,” Guo Sirou said.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Yao said, “Well, alright. Come on.”

To be honest, he didn’t have good feelings for Guo Zhenghe, but he appreciates his elder sister very much. He viewed her as his friend, so he naturally had to help when his friend asked for a favor.

“Alright, I’ll ask him to come.”

Guo Zhenghe was now in Haiqu. After receiving his elder sister’s call, he had driven directly to Haiqu. When he arrived, it was already past 4 p.m. His illness was so serious that he almost appeared to no longer be human. His expression had become twisted, and he was ghastly pale. He was barely able to stay conscious.

“Zhenghe.” Seeing her brother in that state, Guo Sirou rushed forward.

“Don’t touch him.” Wang Yao immediately stopped her.

“The poisonous insects in him might be contagious.”

He was not alone. Xu Xinyuan was there as well. He had also been infected by the poisonous insects and was in an equally serious state.

“Another kind of poisonous insect.”

Recently, Wang Yao had received three cases, each of which was a different kind of poisonous insect with different symptoms.

“This Valley of Thousands of Medicine is indeed an expert in this field,” he said. “Their research runs deep.”

“How are they?” Guo Sirou was worried and anxious at the side.

“Fortunately, they arrived in the nick of time,” Wang Yao said after a thorough diagnosis.

This poisonous insect was very troublesome, and it spread quickly. It had infiltrated their vital organs and entered their brains. If they had arrived any later, even half a day later, they would have become terminally ill. It would have caused irreversible damage to their bodies. Even now, it would take him a lot of time and effort to cure them. A lot of precious magic herbs had to be used.

“All right, get ready for treatment.”

He prepared the herbs needed to get rid of the poisonous insects. He used Miasma grass as the main medicinal material and brewed Primordial Spirit Soup to consolidate their corporeality and accelerate the recovery of their injured vital organs.

After taking the medicine, the two men puked and emptied their guts and bowels. They vomited out a large quantity of disgusting bloody residues. A disgusting and foul smell accompanied it.

Looking at the bloody residues on the ground, Wang Yao wondered, What’s the point of these people doing their best to study these harmful things?

“These people must be punished!” Guo Sirou’s expression was very ugly because her younger brother was forced to endure pain that ordinary people couldn’t even imagine. He was normally such a strong person, but he was now crying. He normally wouldn’t even grunt from a knife wound.
