Fortunately, the old mans condition was discovered in time.

Before Wang Yao arrived, a doctor already had done a simple cooling treatment for the old man. The old man had also taken the medicine, but Wang Yao was still not assured. He used a unique massaging technique to stimulate some of the old mans acupoints, channels, and collaterals, utilizing the external force to remove the heat from inside his body.

Wang Yao stayed by his bedside for more than half an hour. He only got up once he had confirmed that the old man was fine for the moment.

No worries, Mother. He just needs to rest well.

He signaled for his mother to leave the ward.

What happened? he asked.

He went up the mountain on a hot day like this and ended up fainting by the road. Thankfully, someone saw him.

He still went up the mountain, even though it was such a hot day?

It was scorching hot that day. The body would start to feel very warm when the sun shone on it for barely any time at all. Outdoor work was forbidden after 10 oclock in the morning.

It was all because of those two pieces of land!

The old man also clearly had his own thoughts and options, to try to farm on such a hot day.

Mother, stay here and take care of Grandpa first. Ill go back home and formulate a medicine.

Okay.

There were many ways to relieve the summer heat. Wang Yao had already decided on the medicinal herbs while he was in the car.

Agastache, fortune eupatorium herb, honeysuckle These were herbal medicines used to remove dampness and relieve the summer heat, as well as to alleviate dizziness and blurred vision.

In addition to these few herbs, he also intended to add moonflower. The licorice root, too, had Yin energy, and it did seem to have a cooling effect, even if it wasnt exactly cold. Its medicinal properties werent intense either. It also had the effect of relieving the uneasiness of the mind and nourishing the brain. The addition of the licorice root would make the herbal medicine undergo a qualitative change.

After returning to the village, he got down from his car and went up Nanshan Hill. The medicinal herbs were available and could be obtained locally.

The ancient spring water and the multifunctional pot for herbs were the best combination.

The medicine was simple, but it was specifically targeting what needed to be helped in this case!

The moonflower dissolved in the water in an instant.

The herbs used in this herbal medicine did not need to be decocted for a long time. After the decoction was done, he poured it into a bottle and took care of the leftover herbs. Wang Yao then hurriedly drove to the hospital.

After more than two hours of palliation, his grandfathers condition was much better. However, his breathing was still a little short and he did not have much energy to speak.

Father, please dont work in the farmland anymore. The weather is so hot. I told you so but you didnt listen. Look what has happened now! Wang Yaos aunt urged, trying to persuade his grandfather.

When he entered the ward, his uncles and aunt were also present.

Yao is here.

Hello, Wang Yao greeted the elder members of the family one by one.

This is the medicine I decocted. Let Grandpa drink some first.

The old man drank a small cup of the medicine. After about 10 minutes, he felt much better, especially his head. The nauseous feeling and dizziness subsided a lot.

How are you feeling, Grandpa?

Im much better. My head isnt nearly as dizzy anymore and my breathing is also smoother.

Thats good then.

The effect was instantaneous. This was the effect of the licorice roots.

The old man was hospitalized for half a day. Over the span of two hours while he was in the hospital, he drank more of the medicine decocted by Wang Yao. The effect multiplied in a way that was very clear to the observers.

Once he was released, close to the evening time, Wang Yao drove the old man back home.

Grandpa, dont go out these few days.

These few nights, he had been watching the sky every day. Furthermore, comparing his observations with the weather forecast, he knew that the weather would be very hot these next few days. It was very easy to get heatstroke outside, so children and elders, like his grandfather, should be more careful.

Okay, the old man promised.

Before leaving, Wang Yao left 1000 yuan behind again. This time, no matter what Wang Yao said, the old man refused to accept the money. Without a choice, Wang Yao stuffed the money into the seam of the sofa. He then grabbed her mother and quickly left.

In the village, it was not easy to make a living when the job depended so much on the weather. Moreover, the old man had aged.

As a younger man, however, it was inappropriate for Wang Yao to say much.

Mother, Grandpas health isnt in a very good condition. He cant afford to suffer like this, Wang Yao said.

His grandfather was a man who was almost 80 years old. Once he fell ill, his body would be extremely drained. He would have to take around 10 days or even a month to recover.

Ill decoct another medicine for Grandpa after I get back.

Okay.

Observing the old mans current condition, it was necessary to consolidate the corporeity. Previously, he had also decocted the Regather soup for his grandparents and it was extremely effective.

After returning home, Wang Yao parked his car and went up Nanshan Hill.

He had all the medicinal herbs, but the amount of Guiyuan and Shanjing were insufficient. It was a little less, but it could also be used.

The next day, it was only about seven oclock, but the sun was already shining bright.

Wang Yao began to decoct the Regather soup.

The spring water was boiling and all kinds of herbs were added one after another.

This was the medicine which Wang Yao decocted the most. Therefore, it was the decoction he was best at making. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. His control on the time and heat were already well-achieved. He also benefited from the tools provided by the system and the incantation on the spring water.

The medicine was successfully decocted!

Not long after he poured the medicine into the bottle, he received a call from Chen Kun. The seedlings which Wang Yao wanted were ready. Chen Kun could deliver them in the afternoon and asked Wang Yao if he had time.

The two decided on the time. Wang Yao went down the hill again and informed his family that he was visiting his grandfather. He drove to his grandfathers house to deliver his medicine. After checking repeatedly and confirming that his body was recovering and had no big issues, he exhaled and made his way out.

After two oclock in the afternoon the next day, the weather was still extremely hot. The intensity of the sun rays had actually weakened, but the heat didnt abate much.

Chen Kun drove to the mountain village to deliver the seedlings. To the south of the village, he saw the newly-built house.

Tsk, tsk. This house is so beautiful! He could not help but praise.

He walked around the yard under the scorching sun. At that time, Wang Yao had also come out from the house.

Your house is really huge!

Wang Yaos courtyard was equivalent to more than twice the size of other houses in the village. It was indeed very big.

Why dont we take a look inside?

Sure.

Wang Yao helped the people who came along to unload the seedlings from the car. He opened the door and placed the seedlings in the courtyard.

These two trees are growing quite well. The two acacia trees could be seen near the west wall once they entered the courtyard.

Where do I put these seedlings?

Put it against the wall. Wang Yao pointed at the location under the acacia tree.

Chen Kun entered the renovated house and looked around. Although there was not much furniture, the floor tiles had been paved, and the walls were also decorated. The interior was simple yet elegant.

This design must be expensive.

Its alright, Wang Yao replied with a smile.

In the empty house, there were no seats and there was no water to drink. So after Wang Yao paid him, Chen Kun then left.

Wang Yao went to the small courtyard and inspected some of the seedlings carefully. The quality of these seedlings were satisfactory and there were no infected plants. The bamboo was a black bamboo which was rarely seen in Lianshan.

At least this is something that will take up my afternoon.

Wang Yao spent the whole afternoon ploughing in the courtyard carefully. His parents also came over to help, despite the heat.

He planted the bamboos and grapes.

The bamboos were planted near the east wall, whereas the grapes were planted near the south wall.

The seedlings of laurel, magnolia, cassia trees and the others still remained. He was not in a hurry to plant them immediately because he had other ideas in mind about what to do with them.

After persuading his parents to go home, he walked back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about where he could plant them.

Plant two cassia trees in front with a bunch of flowers in the middle.

He thought and paused repeatedly. After the sun had set, the final layout was formed in his mind. While it was cooler in the afternoon, he planted a few cassia trees and pomegranates. Then, he watered the plants. They had been planted with running water, which was mixed with the ancient spring water.

Looking at the courtyard again now, it seemed to be livelier now that all of the seedlings were planted.

He did not plant many seedlings. In Feng Shui, there were many particulars about planting trees in the courtyard. It wouldnt end up well if he planted too many trees.

Once he finished, he returned home and found out that his uncle and third aunt was also there.

During dinner, he realized their purpose of coming, which was to get together to discuss his grandfather. His grandfather was now old. They wanted him to farm less and feed him by gathering some money from the families.

Wang Yaos mother was the eldest, so they came here.

In fact, the two elders could not spend much in a month in the village. They grew their own vegetables and grains. They just needed to buy things such as some meat, rice and seasonings. 500 yuan was already estimated to be enough for his grandfather.

Wang Yao did not intervene in this matter. With his current financial ability, it would not be a problem for him to give his grandparents 5000 yuan a month, but his uncle and aunt would feel disgusted, as if he wanted to show off.

After the matter was settled, Wang Yaos uncle began to grumble again, saying things like how the benefits in his unit were not good, his wife was jobless, he had to raise two children, and he was feeling very pressured. And then he mentioned that he wanted to set up a small accessory-processing factory. He had studied casting and processing. He had the technical skills and already knew some customers. However, to start a business, money had to be invested. It was impossible to buy a manufacturing factory without having 100 or 200 thousand yuan. The only issue was, he still owed a huge amount of debt. He had already taken more than 300,000 yuan from Wang Yao alone.
