Chapter 962 Save
“H-how do you know?” Miao Chengtang was shocked. “Did soone tell you?”
Then again, Miao Chengtang felt sothing was amiss. The news about him going there was known only by Xu Xinyuan, who had told Miao Chengtang to not drop his na if he could avoid it. That ant the young doctor before Miao Chengtang didn’t actually know that he was coming. It would have been absurd for the doctor to even know of his predicant in detail. He instantly knew that the doctor was able to tell because the doctor was that good. Still, being able to tell that he was bugged just by taking a single look was sothing that only a handful of people were capable of, even back in the village.
It seed as if the doctor could treat him after all.
“Do I need soone to tell that?” Wang Yao asked.
“Please, save !” Miao Chengtang pleaded as if he were about to cry.
He saw hope. He felt like soone who was about to drown but had suddenly discovered a straw to grab onto. He imdiately fell to his knees. At that mont, he wanted nothing more than to live, even if it ant he had to beg.
“I’ll save you. But first, tell the truth.”
“I just moved to Tianjin not long ago,” Miao Chengtang said. His current predicant ant that he needed to tell the truth.
“I am really from southern Yunnan.”
“Southern Yunnan? The Valley of Thousands of dicine?” Wang Yao imdiately blurted Miao Chengtang’s hotown.
“Ho-how did you know that?” Miao Chengtang was surprised to hear that.
“So, that’s where you’re from then,” Wang Yao said. “You are soone from the Valley of Thousands of dicine. Did Guo Zhenghe send you?” When he heard that the other man was from southern Yunnan, he instantly recalled that place, as well as the son of the Guo family who was working in He County.
“I’m indeed from the valley, but I don’t know anyone nad Guo Zhenghe,” Miao Qingyuan replied. “A man nad Xu Xinyuan sent here.”
“Xu Xinyuan, is that the guy who was here last ti?”
“He said that he had co and you cured him.”
“Go on,” Wang Yao said.
Cough! Cough! At that mont, Miao Chengtang’s body went out of control as he coughed.
Wang Yao waved in the air. Miao Chengtang’s body bobbed around for a bit. He felt that the urge to cough had been mystically put down. The stench of blood in his mouth was suppressed as well.
“Hell, this...” Miao Chengtang was too frightened to know what was going on.
“Alright, keep talking.”
“Sure, sure...”
There were no injections or dicines. He wondered what that wave had been. He wondered if Wang Yao was soone versed in the fighting arts, just like Miao Xihe.
Miao Chengtang recalled many things in that instant. He quickly stated the information that had to do with him. He modified so details and hid so others altogether. He wasn’t dumb enough to spill everything to Wang Yao, a man who was practically a stranger.
Hmm.
Wang Yao nodded after hearing all that. While Miao Chengtang might not have been telling everything as it was, Wang Yao had learned what he needed to know.
After seeing how Wang Yao remain quiet for quite a while, Miao Chengtang anxiously said, “Please, save .”
“Save you?” Wang Yao looked up at Miao Chengtang. “Have you killed soone?”
Miao Chengtang pointed at the sky and said, “Never. I swear to the heavens. I have never killed a single soul. All those people were killed by Miao Tianchuan. I had nothing to do with that. I want to kill Miao Xihe, but I don’t have what it takes to kill him!” He was telling the truth. He had never killed anyone, not even a single person. He was an accomplice at most.
“I can save you, but tell about the Blood Orchid,” Wang Yao said.
“How do you know about the Blood Orchid?” Miao Chengtang was dumbfounded. He never expected Wang Yao to know about sothing that was a highly guarded secret in the village he was from.
“I know of a lot of things other than the Blood Orchid, including what you’ve just told ,” Wang Yao said calmly. “I take it that you’re hiding sothing from , aren’t you?”
Miao Chengtang’s face beca pale when Wang Yao said that. He was ashen. Sweat trickled down his brow. He never expected to find such a young doctor in a remote village in the north. It was shocking that the doctor knew so much about an equally remote village thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan.
He wondered why the doctor knew that much.
The reason Wang Yao knew as much as he did was that Jia Zizai had so friends from southern Yunnan. They had inford Jia Zizai about such things. They had all been in that special business, so they had ways of finding out about things undetected. Jia Zizai knew that Wang Yao was particularly keen on news regarding the Valley of Thousands of dicine, so he told his friends over there to keep an eye out. They gathered everything there was to know by any ans necessary and inford him of everything. Professionals always had a way of acquiring information. Those people had even acquired so firsthand information known only to the police, as well as so yet-to-be verified intelligence.
“Alright, sure, but what I know is limited. The Blood Orchid is so rare dicine in Miaojiang. It was recently discovered by Miao Xihe and used for experints in the village.”
“Experints?”
“Legend has it that the Blood Orchid is capable of lengthening one’s life and making one immune to all diseases.”
“Well, that mystical, eh?”
“Mystical indeed. I heard from Miao Tianchuan that when he escaped from the valley over a dozen years ago, he was actually poisoned. He went back to the village eventually, thinking of dying at his birthplace. At that ti, he chanced upon the Blood Orchid. The poisons in his body have no longer threatened him since then. Not only did he survive, but he also ended up being enhanced in certain ways.”
“Alright, we can begin treatnt. My treatnts don’t co cheap.”
“I know. I’ve brought money.” It was sothing that Xu Xinyuan specifically told Miao Chengtang to be mindful of before he left Tianjin.
“Very well.”
Wang Yao got a bowl of dicinal soup and half a leaf of sedge.
After drinking it, Miao Chengtang felt his stomach rolling and his chest burning.
“Alright, you can go ho now,” Wang Yao said as he waved his hand.
“Is that all?”
“That’s all.”
“Well, umm, this...” He stood dumbfounded.
“What’s the aning of this? One bowl of bitter stuff and done? Are you telling the curse is gone just like that?” Miao Chengtang felt rather angry. He began to doubt if Wang Yao had been pulling all those stunts before just to make him talk.
“Enough talk. Pay up.”
“$50,000 for just a bowl of ds?” Miao Chengtang was stunned when he heard the price.
“This is robbery in broad daylight!” He knew the dicines were expensive, but he never expected it to be that expensive. He wondered if the sacred dicines of Miaojiang were that expensive.
“So, are you regretting it then?” Wang Yao asked in a cold tone.
“I’m regretting it.”
Wang Yao stayed silent for a bit.
“If you want to forgo treatnt, I can make you puke all that dicine you just took,” Wang Yao said.
However, at that mont, the sedge in the dicine began to work.
Heave... Ho... Heave... Ho...
Miao Chengtang took deep breaths and recalled what Xu Xinyuan told him. It was ti to pay up.
“Alright, I’ll pay.” He eventually paid the fee.
The $50,00 wasn’t a small sum to him.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Thanks!”
“Try not to get mad. It’s bad for your liver,” Wang Yao advised.
Miao Chengtang felt himself shaking all over in anger. He turned around and left.
