Chapter 904: Treading on Swallows

“You are right,” Hu Mei said. “I can see a bit of expression.”

“Right, it’s as if it had seen a cat,” Jia Zizai said.

“People say that mice are actually very smart,” Hu Mei said. “You probably scared it out of its wits when you caught it. It has already formed a horrifying impression of you, so it looked so afraid when it saw you again.”

“Is that so?” Jia Zizai asked.

“It must be,” Hu Mei replied.

“Well, I’ll leave,” Jia Zizai said. “You stay here and see if it’s still frightened.”

After saying that, Jia Zizai got up and walked away. Hu Mei stayed behind. The little mouse in the cage kept running back and forth. It was tearing at the iron cage with its teeth, trying to break the steel wire. It seemed to still be terrified and panicked, trying to flee in whichever way it could.

“Is it really afraid?” Hu Mei asked.

“You step back and see how it reacts,” Jia Zizai said softly behind her.

Hu Mei stepped back to the door and looked at the mouse. Something magical happened. The mouse calmed down. It was not as maniacal as before. Although it was still moving around in the cage, it had normal movements, not frantic ones like before.

“It is true!” Hu Mei exclaimed in surprise.

“What is in the medicine Sir gave us?”

“Even the mouse is afraid. Ah, the snakes should be hibernating at this time.” Jia Zizai’s eyes were agilely turning around as he thought of something.

“You better stay out of trouble,” Hu Mei said.

“I will,” Jia Zizai said. “I’m just saying it casually. You don’t have to worry about it. Smile a little.”

In response, he got an eye roll.

“My wife, I find you to be more and more beautiful. Your skin is getting more tender,” Jia Zizai said.

“Yes, I have realized that too,” Hu Mei said. That was not a polite compliment from Jia Zizai. Her body had changed. It was like reverse growth. She felt more energetic and significantly younger. On the surface, her skin was getting better. The wrinkles on her face that once needed to be covered with cosmetics had disappeared, and the hidden white hair on her head had turned black. These were changes that had happened after she had come to this mountain village.

No one didn’t like feeling younger, even if it happened unexpectedly. A change of mind was one reason. The more important reason was that they were practicing with Wang Yao.

“It was indeed a brilliant decision to come here!” Jia Zizai exclaimed.

There was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Me.”

“Senior?”

Zhong Liuchuan entered their house.

“What’s the matter?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Ah, are you free this evening?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Yes, I’m free,” Jia Zizai said. “What’s the matter?”

“I’d like to invite you to my house for a meal,” Zhong Liuchuan said. In recent times, he had always accepted Jia Zizai’s invitation and went to his house for meals, but he had never invited the couple over even once. He had thought that for quite a while. Since it was the weekend and Zhong Anxin was home, it was a good time to get together.

“Sure!” Jia Zizai clapped his hands together.

“I’ll prepare two bottles of good wine.”

“I’ll help with the cooking,” Hu Mei said.

“No, there is no need. You are my guests. My cooking skills are quite alright,” Zhong Liuchuan said. In order to take care of his sister, he had developed good cooking skills.

“Alright, that’s settled then.”

“I’ll go and invite Sir.” Zhong Liuchuan went to the clinic. It just happened that nothing was going on there.

“Tonight? Sure,” Wang Yao replied.

The matter was settled. Zhong Liuchuan went home to prepare.

Nighttime soon arrived. Wang Yao brought a bottle of good wine and roast duck from Jing.

“Ah, this bottle of wine brought by Sir is good!” As a person who liked alcohol, Jia Zizai saw with a glance that the bottle of wine Wang Yao brought was extraordinary.

“There’s still a lot of wine at home,” Wang Yao said. “I don’t drink much, and the old man has been drinking less recently. If you guys want to drink, you can come and take some any time.”

“How could I do that?” Jia Zizai asked. Since he had begun to practice with Wang Yao, the amount of wine he drank had constantly reduced. When he grew to like one thing, his other hobby had gradually faded.

Practice was addictive.

After not having seen her for a while. Zhong Anxin was a little taller and had become more womanly. As the saying went, girls changed in all ways when they grow up. She had grown more beautiful.

She was still very sensible. She took the initiative to help her older brother cook and serve the dishes. When the food had all been served, she ate and went to her room to do her homework.

“You have a good sister,” Jia Zizai said.

“Yes.”

The three students and one teacher ate, drank, and chatted until 9 p.m.

Wang Yao went home and before going up to Nanshan Hill.

“Thank you, Senior,” Jia Zizai said.

“You’re welcome,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Be safe.”

“It’ll be fine. Come to my house tomorrow!”

Zhong Liuchuan smiled but didn’t answer.

Jia Zizai had drunk a lot. He burped as he left with his wife in his arms.

“Be honest with your hands,” Hu Mei said. “Where are you placing them? Anxin is still watching from behind us.”

Ah! Jia Zizai became honest immediately after hearing that. Looking back, Anxin and her brother were standing at the door to see them off.

“Bye, Anxin.”

“Goodbye, Older Brother and Sister-in-law.”

“Tut, tut, our sister, mmm!”

“Wifey, shall we have a daughter first?”

“Whatever.”

“He-he.”

The crescent moon shone on the nine states. It was very quiet that night.

The chanting of sutras sounded on Nanshan Hill. It didn’t stop until after 11 p.m.

The next morning, there were small snowflakes in the sky.

It was snowing.

But it was not particularly cold.

On Dongshan Mountain, three people were sitting cross-legged as they practiced.

Tss, huu…

Wang Yao was standing in a high place looking at the sky.

When the guidance of the three students was over, he called them over together

“I shall teach you something today,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

He taught them a set of steps, which also came from the ancient boxing Sutra “Treading on Swallows.” After mastering it, their speed would become extremely fast and small-scale internal movement would be flexible. It was just that the steps were a little more complicated.

Wang Yao first explained the most basic step standard. All three of them had learned kung fu before, so they had a considerable foundation. It was not particularly difficult for them to start learning it quickly. This kung fu was relatively easy to learn but difficult to master. It required constant practice and deliberation.

“Alright, that’s it for today,” Wang Yao said.

The four of them went down the mountain together. Wang Yao’s clinic opened as usual.

Thousands of miles away, in a city south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Weijun had an appointment in a guildhall with a man in his 40s. He wore glasses and had maintained his looks very well. The man was in charge of the largest medical sales channel in the province.

The new medicine had been made. The next step was selling it, so he had come there and brought some samples along.

“New medicine?” The middle-aged man examined the Primordial Spirit Soup.

“Yes.”

“Is it from Nanshan Pharmaceutical Company, the company you run?” the middle-aged man asked.

“Yes.”

“Is it worth giving up all the power in your hands and starting from scratch?” the middle-aged man asked.

“It is worth it,” Zheng Weijun said. “I earned enough. There is nothing wrong with starting over.”

“Since you have found me, I will help you with this favor,” the middle-aged man said. “Remember, friendship is friendship, business is business, and business requires rules. Do you understand my rules?”

“Yes,” Zheng Weijun replied.

“That’s good. Put down the sample and give me this amount.”

“Alright.”

The first batch of medicine had been sold, but he didn’t dare relax even a little. In the afternoon, he went to another place.

At the same time, Wang Yao had also sold his first bottle of Primordial Spirit Soup in the mountain village thousands of miles away.

“Nanshan Pharmaceutical? Is this produced by that pharmaceutical factory in town?” the patient asked. “My family lives near that factory.”

“Yes.”

“Dr. Wang, about this medicine…”

“Don’t worry,” Wang Yao said. “There is no problem with it. You can come to me if there is a problem.”

The old man’s problem was a physical deficiency. The medicine was just right for his symptoms.

“I don’t mean that. Thank you,” he hurriedly said.

“Be safe.”

This medicine included wild medicinal materials and was produced in batches. However, it was not expensive. It was priced at a little over $30. Wang Yao’s price was basically the cost price.

In the afternoon, Wang Zecheng brought Wang Yilong to the clinic.

“Why are you free today?”

“It’s the weekend, so I have a rare day off,” Wang Zecheng said.

“Oh, take a seat,” Wang Yao said.

He checked Wang Yilong. The old man ‘s complexion was very good, and he was in a good state of mind.
