As Wang Tianhai recounted his past experiences, tears streamed down his face. He was extremely emotional. He did not notice that Zhang Yang was frowning.
Zhang Yang was sure that Wang Tianhai was telling the truth. But at the same time, he could also confirm that Wang Tianhai was not afflicted with the love gu!
Although Zhang Yang had never done any in-depth research on the art of witchcraft, he was a former immortal. When he was cultivating, he had traveled all over the country. He had also been to the Miao lands in the southwest and had discussed Dao with the Miao witches. Naturally, he had some understanding of Gu techniques.
Zhang Yang knew that the so-called love gu was a kind of gu technique unique to Miao women.
The Miao girl fed Gu worms with her own blood every day, and it took ten years to refine a love Gu. If a man who was afflicted with the love gu had sex with another woman, it would trigger the love gu and cause it to act up once a month. When the love gu was activated, the feeling should be heart-rending pain. Many people who had been poisoned by the love gu would die suddenly when they had sex with other women because they could not withstand the sudden heart-rending pain.
However, according to Wang Tianhai's description, the gu poison he was afflicted with was completely different from the love gu.
According to Zhang Yang's guess, the Miao girl who had fallen in love with Wang Tianhai back then might not have planted a love spell on him. The reason why she had said that was so that Wang Tianhai would remember to come back and look for her, so that he would not forget her. If Wang Tianhai had really been poisoned by the love gu, then he, who had married another woman and had a child, might have died of pain because of the effect of the love gu. How could he have lived like this in his later years, full of children and grandchildren?
If it wasn't the love gu, what kind of gu would Wang Tianhai have?
If it wasn't the Miao girl who had poisoned him, who could it be?
Two questions appeared in Zhang Yang's mind at the same time.
Looking at Wang Tianhai who was crying, Zhang Yang did not reveal his guess. After all, this was just a guess and there was no real evidence. He didn't want to provoke Wang Tianhai because of this.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yang crouched down and placed his hands on Wang Tianhai's paralyzed legs. Using the same method as Yun Jiumo, he began to massage Wang Tianhai's paralyzed legs. While he was massaging, Zhang Yang secretly sent a trace of his True Energy into Wang Tianhai's paralyzed legs, searching for the hidden poison.
Zhang Yang was extremely careful as the poison was very sensitive to external forces. If he was not careful, he would not only hurt Wang Tianhai, but also hurt himself. Therefore, Zhang Yang had no choice but to carefully control the thread of True Energy, allowing it to search carefully and carefully within Wang Tianhai's paralyzed legs.
Hard work pays off. Just as Zhang Yang was sweating profusely, he finally found a poisonous insect in Wang Tianhai's body. He was not in a hurry to use his true essence to attack the gu poison. Although the gu poison was slightly hypnotized, it was still highly vigilant and active. If he rashly attacked it, it would definitely anger it and hurt Wang Tianhai.
Zhang Yang only used this thread of Zhen Yuan to obtain the information of the parasite. He then kept the thread of Zhen Yuan and stood up.
Zhang Yang already knew that Wang Tianhai had not been poisoned by a love gu, but a bamboo leaf gu!
According to folk legends, the so-called bamboo strip Gu was a bamboo strip that was about four to five inches long. After being specially refined, it would be placed on the road. When a pedestrian passed by, this bamboo strip would jump onto the pedestrian's leg, causing a lot of pain. Moreover, because it was parasitic on a person's legs and feet, it absorbed nutrients and essence energy. Gradually, it would cause the person's legs and feet to become paralyzed, and even cause the person to die.
Using bamboo strips to make Gu, such a thing sounded really inconceivable. However, Zhang Yang, who had some understanding of Gu techniques, knew that the so-called Bamboo Strip Gu was not made from bamboo strips. Instead, it was made from an insect that looked very similar to bamboo called 'stick insects'. It was cultivated through a special method of raising Gu. Ordinary stick insects naturally did not have the ability to enter a human body to parasitize and reproduce, but after being cultivated into the Bamboo Strip Gu through Gu techniques, they possessed this hair-raising ability.
Now that he knew that Wang Tianhai had been poisoned by the Bamboo Leaf Gu and not the Love Gu, Zhang Yang could begin to treat him accordingly.
Zhang Yang said," Alright, Grandpa Wang. I have finished my follow-up consultation. I will inform Wang Xiaoqiu about the treatment plan later. She will supervise your implementation."”
Just as Zhang Yang was about to open the door and call Wang Xiaoqiu in, Wang Tianhai suddenly said,""Little Zhang, can I ask you for a favor?”
"What is it?" Zhang Yang turned around and asked.
"You, I, and the heavens only need to know what I've said today," Wang Tianhai pleaded. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
Zhang Yang nodded." Alright, I promise you. I won't tell anyone."”
"That's great. Thank you, Little Zhang.”Wang Tianhai immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome. It's our responsibility to keep the patient's secret.”Zhang Yang answered and opened the door.
Wang Xiaoqiu, who was waiting outside the door, quickly walked in and asked with concern,"How is it, Mr. Zhang? How's my grandfather's condition?”
"Grandpa Wang's condition is showing signs of improvement," said Zhang Yang with a smile. By the way, do you still have the prescription I gave Grandpa Wang last time?”
"Still here." Wang Xiaoqiu nodded.
"Since the prescription is still here," Zhang Yang ordered,"then follow this prescription and continue to make the decoction for Grandpa Wang." However, he needed to double the dosage of cinnabar and magnet, and add 18 grams of corktree bark and cnidium fruit each. The dosage of the other herbs remained unchanged.”
The changes that Zhang Yang made in the prescription were all targeted at the Bamboo Strip Gu. These herbs had good effects on the bamboo strip Gu.
Wang Xiaoqiu was afraid that he would be confused, so he quickly found a pen and paper and asked Zhang Yang to write down what he had just said. "Is there anything else I can do for you?"”
Zhang Yang replied," Not for now. Just take the medicine according to the revised prescription." I'll come back for a follow-up visit a week later. I should be able to help Grandpa Wang stand up again within a month. Of course, a long period of recuperation was still needed for a complete recovery. After all, Grandpa Wang's legs had been paralyzed for so many years. It would take some time for him to recover. Hmm…If he was lucky tonight and could buy the herbs he needed, the treatment could be shortened.”
"What herbs do you need?" Wang Xiaoqiu asked quickly. I'll send someone to buy it now!"
Zhang Yang shook his head and laughed." These herbs. Even if I tell you their names and shapes, I'm afraid that not many people would be able to recognize them." Therefore, I still have to find it myself. He could only hope that there would be medicinal herbs in this area at tonight's plant and flower exhibition.”
"Then I'll leave it to you. How much do you need? Just give me a number when the time comes!" Wang Xiaoqiu said. I definitely won't let you pay for these herbs.”
"Alright." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded. Initially, Wang Xiaoqiu thought that this follow-up would take a long time. In the past, when she was in the various hospitals to check up on Wang Tianhai, it would usually take a few days. That was why she had brought Zhang Yang here so early in the morning. However, she did not expect Zhang Yang to finish his check-up in less than an hour.
Wang Xiaoqiu had wanted Zhang Yang to stay in the villa for lunch before sending him back. However, this suggestion was rejected by Zhang Yang. Wang Xiaoqiu had no choice but to curse Zhang Yang for being a blockhead. He drove the car back to the old neighborhood.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Yang, Wang Xiaoqiu said,""Mr. Zhang, thank you so much for today. I'll come and pick you up when the flower exhibition starts tonight. Remember, don't turn off your phone.”
Zhang Yang smiled and nodded."Don't worry. My phone will be turned on 24/7 today."”
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. See you tonight.”In fact, Wang Xiaoqiu really wanted to go to Zhang Yang's house for a visit, but since Zhang Yang did not have any intention of inviting her, she could only give up. After all, she was a girl. She could not possibly ask to go to Zhang Yang's house to play, right? Although she had studied abroad, she was still quite conservative and did not learn the open-minded personality of foreign girls.
"Goodbye." Zhang Yang nodded at Wang Xiaoqiu and went upstairs.
"This blockhead is really annoying. When will he be enlightened? " Sigh…" Wang Xiaoqiu could only shake his head with a bitter smile as he watched Zhang Yang go upstairs without turning back. He then drove away.
After returning home, Zhang Yang did not do anything else. After consuming a Vitality Consolidating Pill and a Spirit Gathering Pill, he sat down cross-legged again and began his training for the day. Spending all his time on cultivation was a habit he had developed in the past. Although he had changed his body now and wanted to try the life of an ordinary person, it was a habit that had been formed for thousands of years. It was difficult to change it in a short period of time.
Zhang Yang's training session lasted until sunset.
Zhang Yang could not help but laugh when he felt the hunger in his stomach,""I actually forgot that I only drank a cup of soy milk and ate a piece of pumpkin pie today. No wonder my stomach is protesting now.”He got up and walked into the kitchen, wanting to find something to eat to fill his stomach. However, other than some leftovers that had gone bad, there was nothing else edible in the kitchen.
Zhang Yang had no choice but to throw the leftover food into the trash can. He did not want to have diarrhea after eating these things. After all, his current cultivation had not reached the point where he was immune to all poisons. At the same time, he was also wondering if he should buy a refrigerator at home. It would also be convenient to store food. It would not be like now, where the food would expire and change its taste after being stored for a little longer.
After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhang Yang took the trash bag and left the house. Since there was nothing to eat at home, he could only go to Uncle Wang's small restaurant to eat.
Zhang Yang walked out of the residential area and threw the rubbish bag into the rubbish bin beside him. Then, he walked towards Uncle Wang's restaurant.
Before he reached Uncle Wang's restaurant, Zhang Yang noticed that there was a huge group of people outside the restaurant. He had no idea what they were doing.
When Zhang Yang got closer to take a look, he realized that Uncle Wang's restaurant was in a mess. The tables, chairs, stools, pots and pans were all smashed into pieces and thrown on the floor of the restaurant. The leftovers and soup dripped on the floor of the small restaurant, making the originally clean and tidy small restaurant look dirty.
Not only was the restaurant smashed, but Uncle Wang was also injured. He was lying in the messy restaurant with his eyes closed and unconscious.
Uncle Chen, who opened a pharmacy nearby, was squatting beside Uncle Wang and checking on his condition.
Zhang Yang quickly pushed away the people who were blocking his way and ran to Uncle Wang's side. He checked on Uncle Wang's condition and asked Uncle Chen,"Uncle Chen, what happened?"
"It was all caused by those five hooligans a few days ago!”Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and said," Just now, those five hooligans and seven or eight other hooligans rushed into Uncle Wang's small restaurant. Not only did they smash Uncle Wang's restaurant, but they also injured him." At that time, there were a few customers in the restaurant who were also scared by them and ran away. One of them was also beaten up, but it was not a big deal. Only Uncle Wang was beaten up by them. "Because it happened so suddenly, when we reacted and were about to rush over to help, these hooligans scattered and ran away in an instant. We couldn't catch any of them…"
According to Zhang Yang's examination, Uncle Wang's injuries were not serious. Other than a slight concussion, there were only some soft tissue injuries. This was obviously not because the hooligans had shown mercy, but because the neighbors had reacted in time, so the hooligans did not have enough time to make a move. If the neighbors had reacted a little slower, Uncle Wang's injury would not have been optimistic.
Zhang Yang took out a box of silver needles from his pocket. He had bought this box of silver needles from the medical equipment store when he was shopping for Chinese medicine at the Chinese medicine market yesterday. At this moment, he held the silver needles and pierced them into Uncle Wang's Renzhong, Shixuan, and Yongquan acupoints respectively. He used a strong stimulation technique to insert the needles. A moment later, Uncle Wang, who had fallen into a short coma, finally woke up.
Uncle Wang, who had just woken up, looked weak. He struggled to get up, but was pressed down by Zhang Yang,""Uncle Wang, don't get up in a hurry. Lie on the ground and rest for a while. Tell me, are you feeling unwell?”
Although Uncle Wang couldn't get up, his eyes and head could still move. Naturally, he saw the mess in the small restaurant. Two streams of hot tears immediately poured out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks. His family relied on this small restaurant to survive. Now that this small restaurant was destroyed, it was undoubtedly the loss of their family's livelihood. How could he not be sad?
After Zhang Yang had asked him a few times, he finally answered,""I have a terrible headache."
Zhang Yang nodded his head and took out the three silver needles from before. Then, he selected the Baihui, Hegu, Yintang and Sanyinjiao acupuncture points and gave them a strong stimulation.
At this moment, Uncle Wang's daughter received a call from her neighbors. She rushed back on an old bicycle. Before she even arrived, the sound of crying could be heard.
Looking at the old bicycle and the girl riding it, Zhang Yang finally understood why Uncle Wang's daughter looked familiar to him. It turned out that she was the girl who had helped Zhang Yang look after his bicycle at the scene of the accident. Zhang Yang had never thought that she would be Uncle Wang's daughter.
"Dad, are you alright?" Uncle Wang's daughter jumped off the bicycle and ran into the small restaurant. When she saw Uncle Wang lying on the ground, her cries suddenly became loud.
" Child, don't cry. I'm fine. It's just that our small restaurant..." Uncle Wang wanted to comfort his daughter, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh."Sigh…"
Uncle Wang's daughter immediately heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw two streams of tears on her father's face, she quickly took out a tissue from her pocket and gently wiped the tears on her face. At the same time, she comforted her gently,"Dad, don't be sad. As long as you're fine, it's fine. The restaurant was smashed, so we can still start from scratch.”
Uncle Chen, who was squatting beside Uncle Wang, also comforted him,"Old Wang, your daughter is right. Although the restaurant is ruined, as long as the people are fine, we can start over. Ah, right, Little Zhang, how's Old Wang's injury? Tell Wang Ting."
Zhang Yang nodded and said to Wang Ting,""Uncle Wang's injury isn't serious. He only has a slight concussion. Before he recovers completely, he needs to rest. I'll write you a prescription later. You can take the medicine according to the prescription and make it for him to drink…"
Uncle Wang panicked when he heard that and quickly said,"Rest? How could this be? I still have to reopen my restaurant…"
Uncle Chen quickly said," Hey, Old Wang, I told you to rest and recuperate. Just rest and recuperate obediently." You don't have to worry about reopening the restaurant. We old neighbors will help you!”
"That's right, Uncle Wang. We'll help you!”
"That's right. Uncle Wang, the food you cook is cheap and clean. At the same time, the quantity is sufficient and delicious. If we lose your restaurant on our street, we will suffer a huge loss! Therefore, we will definitely help you. You can rest assured and recuperate! When you recover and return, I guarantee that you'll see a restaurant that's not inferior to before.”
"Uncle Wang, I will help you too! And those hooligans who smashed your restaurant. They won't have a good ending. We've already called the police. They won't be able to be arrogant for a few days.”
The people surrounding the small restaurant echoed.
" Thank you, thank you all..." Uncle Wang, who was lying on the ground, looked gratefully at the people surrounding the restaurant and couldn't help but sob. His daughter, Wang Ting, was also teary-eyed as she thanked the people around her. Uncle Wang needed to rest and recuperate, and this messy little restaurant was obviously not a suitable place. Immediately, a businessman on this street drove his van over to send Uncle Wang and his daughter home. Zhang Yang, Uncle Chen, and a few other neighbors carefully carried Uncle Wang into the van.
After that, Zhang Yang went to Uncle Chen's pharmacy and borrowed his pen and paper to write a prescription. He asked Uncle Chen to help Uncle Wang pack the medicine. Because Uncle Wang had a headache, the medicine was mainly used to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relieve pain, and regulate vital energy.
Uncle Chen quickly wrapped the medicine and handed it to Wang Ting along with the prescription. He then said to Uncle Wang, who was lying in the back seat of the van,"Old Wang, after you go back, you can rest in peace. As for the restaurant, we, the neighbors, will help you settle it.”
Uncle Wang took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Chen. He said gratefully,"Thank you, Old Chen. This is the key to the restaurant. I'll give it to you. I'll shamelessly leave everything to the neighbors. I'll get Tingting to send you the money when we get back.”
Uncle Chen quickly waved his hand and said,"Sigh, you should keep your money for your own recovery." "We neighbors should be able to gather enough money.”
"How can I do that?" Uncle Wang flatly refused. How can I take your money? No, this is definitely not possible!"
" Old Wang, don't be stubborn," Uncle Chen advised." We all know your situation." You're not rich. If you take out so much money to renovate this shop and buy tables, chairs, stools, pots, pans, and so on, won't you spend all your savings? If that's the case, how are you going to recuperate? How are you going to feed your whole family?"
" This..." Uncle Wang opened his mouth, wanting to refute Uncle Chen. However, Uncle Chen's words were reasonable, so he had no way to refute him. He opened his mouth for a long time, but he could not say a word.
At this moment, Wang Ting suddenly said,""I…I can work to earn money.”
Uncle Wang's expression changed when he heard Wang Ting's words. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say what he was thinking. However, Uncle Chen, who was very familiar with him, spoke up for him."Tingting, don't be silly. What you need to do now is to study hard. You have to know how much pain and suffering your father had to go through in order to nurture you. You can't disappoint him! Besides, even if you go to work now, you can only work part-time or part-time. How much money can you earn? You can't drop out of school to work, right?”
" This..." Wang Ting also knew that Uncle Chen's words were reasonable, and she could not help but be stunned.
At this moment, Zhang Yang spoke up,""I still have some money here. If Uncle Wang doesn't mind, consider it a loan from me or a share of your restaurant. It won't be too late to return it to me when you're rich and earn money in the future.”
Uncle Wang wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, Uncle Chen said,"Little Zhang's idea is not bad. Old Wang, don't be stubborn. Just do as Little Zhang says.”
After a few minutes of silence, Uncle Wang slowly nodded his head and looked at Zhang Yang gratefully,""Alright, Little Zhang, I owe you a favor this time. Even if you invest your money in my restaurant, as long as I, Uncle Wang, am not dead, I will definitely not let you lose money.”
"I believe in Uncle Wang's cooking skills. The restaurant's business will definitely not be bad in the future. Maybe I'll get lucky this time.”Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Wang Ting suddenly jumped down from the van and bowed deeply to Zhang Yang. With tears in her eyes, she said sincerely,""Thank you." Then, she bowed to the surrounding neighbors." Thank you, everyone!”
Uncle Chen smiled and said," Alright, Tingting, you don't have to thank us. We're all neighbors. This is what we should do."”
The fruit seller also said," That's right. Tingting, you should take good care of your dad. Try to let him recover soon. We're all waiting to eat his cooking!"”At the same time, she stuffed a bag of fruits into Wang Ting's arms." These fruits are for Old Wang. Eat more fruits. It's good for your health."”
Wang Ting originally wanted to decline, but at this moment, Uncle Wang said,"Tingting, take it. This is everyone's kind intentions. Although I, Old Wang, was beaten up today, my heart is still warm. I, Old Wang, will remember the kindness of my neighbors in my heart and will definitely repay them in the future!”
Wang Ting once again bowed to the crowd and thanked them. Then, she hugged the fruits and got into the van. As soon as she closed the door, the van slowly started and drove steadily towards the Wang family.
Just as the van drove away, the neighbors had already started to help Uncle Wang clean up the mess in the restaurant. Zhang Yang gave his phone number to Uncle Chen and said,""Uncle Chen, please find someone to calculate how much the renovation of the entire restaurant, as well as the purchase of tables, chairs, stools, pots, pans, and so on, will cost. Call me after you've calculated it. I'll give you the money as soon as possible.”
"Alright, no problem. As long as you trust me.”Uncle Chen nodded.
"Of course I believe Uncle Chen.”Zhang Yang could not help but laugh. He turned around and looked at the people who were busy cleaning the restaurant. He smiled and said,""I trust everyone on this street!”
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Uncle Chen puffed out his chest proudly and smiled proudly.
After chatting with Uncle Chen for a while and discussing the renovation of the restaurant, he left. The reason why he was in such a hurry to leave was because he wanted to help Wang Boyong get rid of any future troubles.
Although someone had already called the police about the shop smashing incident. However, it was still unknown whether the police could catch these hooligans who smashed the shop, whether they would be sentenced, and how long they would be sentenced. If these hooligans could really turn over a new leaf after being arrested by the police and admit their mistakes, it would be quite good. However, if they refused to admit their mistake and still held a grudge against Uncle Wang, then Uncle Wang and the restaurant would be in trouble in the future.
Naturally, Zhang Yang did not want such a thing to happen again. Therefore, he decided to use his own method to teach these hooligans a lesson that would be engraved in their bones, so that they would not dare to do anything reckless again.
However, if he wanted to teach these hooligans a lesson, he had to find them first.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment, took out his phone and dialed a number.
