“Yeah. Do you know what it is?”
“It should be a sheep’s testicles.”
“A sheep’s testicles?”
“Yeah. It’s like bezoar, Ma Bao, and the stone of a dog’s gallbladder, kidney or bladder. It’s a kind of stone in a sheep’s body. It can be used as medicine. It’s considered to be a valuable Chinese medicinal herb,” Wang Yao explained.
“Is it very expensive?”
“Yes. It’s extremely rare. You may not even be able to get one even if you kill 10,000 sheep,” Wang Yao replied.
Things like bezoar and the stone of a dog’s gallbladder, kidney or bladder were somewhat common. However, the sheep’s testicle was rarely heard of, so it was very valuable.
“What can a sheep’s testicle do?” Zhang Xiuying asked.
“It can remove phlegm to relieve convulsion, clear away pathogenic heat and remove toxins. It can also treat symptoms such as epilepsy, delirium, and poisoning of malignant sores.”
“Fenghou’s family is going to make a fortune,” Zhang Xiuying said with a smile.
“He better not take it as nothing. If it’s not properly preserved, it’ll become spoilt easily,” Wang Yao responded.
Such a thing that could only be obtained with luck. If it was improperly preserved, it would lose its efficacy and Its value would be greatly reduced.
Mutton was cooked in a large pot. It was aromatic.
“Unfortunately, Sister doesn’t have the luck to taste such delicious food,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“I’m back!”
Crap.
Wang Yao almost threw the bowl in his hands.
“Why did you come back?”
“Why can’t I come back? You’re cooking mutton, right? Why didn’t you call me?” Wang Ru was glaring.
“I asked him not to call you.” Zhang Xiuying came out of the room. “You’re a girl who’s almost 30. You should hurry up and get a partner while you’re free. Are you still thinking of coming back to have mutton?”
Zhang Xiuying’s words almost choked Wang Ru to death.
“Mother, I’m your child, right?” Wang Ru asked.
“I got you from the garbage,” Zhang Xiuying replied without being amused.
“Hmph. I won’t look for one.”
“Ah, the soup is really yummy!” Wang Yao exclaimed.
The taste was indeed delicious.
“You...”
Wang Yao ignored her murderous gaze.
Ever since he officially established his relationship with Tong Wei, his parents seldom brought up the matter of him getting married. On the other hand, his sister was not that young. She also had no actions. It was unclear what she was thinking.
At noon, Wang Ru drank three huge bowls of mutton soup with a ball of rage in her stomach. Then, she returned to her room to sleep.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. She’s really...” Wang Yao admired his sister.
Could it be that she doesn’t like males?
Wang Yao left his house while shaking his head and went up the hill.
...
In a hospital in Haiqu.
“Doctor, why don’t you have another detailed look again?”
“You’ve contracted food poisoning. It’s very serious. You have to be hospitalized and receive treatments.”
The man who vomited and had diarrhea after getting slapped by Wang Yao had gone to the People’s Hospital of Haiqu.
“Doctor, I don’t have food poisoning.”
“If it’s not food poisoning, then what’s going on?” the doctor asked.
“I became like this after being slapped by someone,” the man answered.
“Are you a doctor or am I a doctor? Since you don’t believe me, why do you still see a doctor?” The doctor was angry.
“Okay, okay, okay. I’ll listen to you. I’ll get hospitalized to receive treatments.” Having no choice, he finally chose to be hospitalized. What if it could be cured?
The same thing was happening in another department of the People’s Hospital of Haiqu.
The two men’s private parts had been stiff for nearly a day. There was no sign of it weakening. This did not make them happy at all. They were getting more and more afraid.
“What medicine did you take?” the doctor asked.
Why was it always the same question?
“Doctor, I can tell you clearly that I didn’t take any medicine. I haven’t taken any medicine in the last month.”
“Yes, doctor. Me too. No, that’s not right. I caught a cold a week ago. I’ve taken a cold medicine, but the cold medicine has no such effect.”
The doctor was speechless.
“I’ll prescribe you some medicine to try.”
To be honest, he hadn’t really ever encountered this situation. When he was studying in Hu, he once met a dandy who had such a condition due to overdose. His condition had not been as severe as these two men. It was still stiff after a day. If the muscles were in a contracted state for too long, there would be a problem.
This was a special medical case, so the specialist remembered clearly about the medicine he prescribed. The medicine had to be injected at the vital part.
After the medicine was injected, they felt the pain.
It hurts!
That part seemed to have become a skewer being grilled over the flame. Who could endure it?
“What’s going on?”
“Damn. Did we meet another quack?” one of the men asked his friend.
There was no effect. Instead, it became more severe.
The doctor was stunned.
“Sorry. I didn’t expect it to be like this,” the doctor said.
“What?” The two men were dumbfounded.
“Wait a second.” The doctor’s eyes lit up. “There’s another way.”
“What way?”
“Phlebotomy!”
There was a shriek.
Phlebotomy was indeed effective, and the result was instant. However, after a short while, there were signs of it raising.
What’s going on?
The doctor was startled. He had no idea anymore.
“You can consider having a checkup at the hospital in the province.”
“Go to the province?” The two men were dumbstruck.
They regretted what they had done to death. Why did they do such a thing that night? In the end, it was not successfully completed and resulted in a serious problem.
“Provincial? We’ll go to the provincial town then.”
Since it related to their own bodies, and even their lives and deaths, they did not delay and immediately went to the provincial town from Haiqu.
...
“Your massaging techniques are not bad. My swelling is gone.” Wang Ru chatted with Wang Yao while cracking the melon seeds with her front teeth.
“You shouldn’t be thinking about your swelling. You should be thinking about the problem of my brother-in-law.” Wang Yao was good at blurting out her weakness.
“Are you looking for trouble?” she asked.
“Sister, I’ll ask you something. Don’t jump,” Wang Yao said carefully.
“What? Say it.”
“Umm, do you like females?”
“What?” Wang Ru was stunned. “Do you think I’m a lesbian?”
“Yes.” Wang Yao nodded his head seriously.
“I’m not. My sexual orientation is very normal. I like men,” she stated.
“Find one then,” her brother said.
“There’s not one suitable,” Wang Ru said while gritting her teeth.
“Did you say the same thing to Mother and Father?” Wang Yao asked.
“Almost!”
Wang Ru immediately picked up a pair of scissors on the table.
“What are you doing?”
“If you dare to gossip again, I’ll cut it for you!” Wang Ru shouted fiercely.
“Okay. Let’s not talk about this. Are the wounds on your body healed?” Wang Yao asked.
“Yes.”
“What about your colleague?”
“She’s in the hospital. I reckon she has to stay there for a few days.”
The siblings resumed their normal conversation.
In the afternoon, Wang Yao was preparing to go out when he saw his mother coming back.
“You’re right. The sheep’s testicles are very valuable!”
“Someone bought it?” Wang Yao asked.
“Yes, for 5,000 yuan,” his mother replied.
“5,000?” Wang Yao was startled.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“He sold it?”
“No,” Zhang Xiuying responded.
“Oh. The price is probably a bit low,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
He had seen a lot of it on the internet. An ox’s testicles could be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions. Of course, the size and weight of the ox’s testicles were definitely larger than that of a sheep’s testicles.
He received a call from Wang Mingbao when he was on his way to the medical center.
“Treat someone? Who?”
Wang Mingbao asked him to help save a person. It sounded urgent.
“It’s in Shangjun, where I told you about. It’s a child,” Wang Mingbao replied over the phone.
“What illness does he have?”
“I don’t know. They haven’t found out the cause. They don’t have the money to let him receive treatments anymore.”
“Where are you now?”
“I’m on the way to Shangjun,” Wang Mingbao replied.
“Okay. Bring him here.” Wang Yao did not know what was wrong with his friend. Wang Mingbao suddenly had such a strong sense of justice and vocation. It was a good thing, so Wang Yao would support it.
In the afternoon, Wang Yao cleaned up the medical center and picked a few bunches of grapes. It was already late autumn, but the grapes were still growing non-stop.
