Chapter 878: Heart Scorching

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Something had gone wrong. The thing that he worried about the most had happened.

“Is it serious?”

“Fortunately, there is no big problem for the time being.” Xu Xinyuan, who was on the other end of the phone, coughed the whole time he was talking. He wasn’t feeling good and had difficulty breathing.

“I remember you said that their poisons are so strong that ordinary people can’t get rid of them, am I right?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“Well, yes.”

Xu Xinyuan took a deep breath.

“I didn’t expect that I would still fall into their trap.”

He felt as if there was a ball of fire burning in his lungs. It was burning so hot that he had difficulty breathing. It was frustrating. He had to breathe with his mouth wide open. Moreover, the dry heat feeling was rapidly spreading. Not long ago, he had gone to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine and fought with the people there. He had been slightly injured. His arm had been scratched by an arrow. At that time, he dealt with the wound in the shortest time possible. He was been afraid of being poisoned and had squeezed out the poisonous blood. After that, he went to the nearby hospital to have it checked and ensure there was no problem. Yet, he had still been poisoned. At first, it was just a little discomfort, so he didn’t take it seriously at all. Unexpectedly, a single spark had turned into a prairie fire.

He had no idea as to what he should do. The hospital could not find any problems with him, but he could feel how uncomfortable and abnormal his body was. Since the hospital was unable to figure it out, it could not be treated.

Did he just have to wait like this? What would be the final result? A painful death? Did he need to go to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine and ask for the antidote?

No matter how he thought about it, he thought that he should call Guo Zhenghe to tell him about his situation and caution him to be more careful.

“I’m sorry, Sir, I can no longer do what you have asked of me.”

Guo Zhenghe was very upset. Xu Xinyuan was poisoned because of him. He could only think about how to save Xu Xinyuan.

There had to be an antidote in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but they couldn’t go there. They would not be able to explain the situation. Moreover, if they were to go, they would basically be confessing, possibly prompting torture. There was no way the people from the valley would let help and let it go.

What should we do?

Got it! Guo Zhenghe’s eyes brightened. A man appeared in his mind.

He will definitely be able to do it!

“Uncle Xu, you do not have to do anything now. Remember the place I told you about?”

“Qi Province, Haiqu City, Lianshan County, Songbai Town, Wang Jiazhuang, Wang Yao?”

“Yes, go there now,” Guo Zhenghe said. “Go and find Wang Yao as fast as you can. Remember, you must not disclose your relationship with me. It doesn’t matter what you say about the rest.”

“Sir...”

“Listen to me. I’ll arrange for someone to book you the fastest flight right away. Hold on.”

“OK, thank you, Sir.” After Xu Xinyuan hung up the phone, he gulped down a large glass of water. The water was cold, but it felt warm when he drank it. It felt as if he had been in the hottest sauna and been drinking hot water for a lifetime. He felt very uncomfortable.

His body was burning hot, but there was not a single drop of sweat all over his body. He felt insatiably thirsty. No matter how much water he drank, it could not quench his thirst.

“Damn it!”

Xu Xinyuan paced back and forth in the room. He wanted to calm down, but he could not no matter what.

Ding, dong! The doorbell rang.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Mr. Xu, Sir asked me to come.”

When he opened the door, he saw a man in his 30s.

“Mr. Xu, the travel arrangements are done. The plane will take off in two hours. Please prepare as soon as possible. I will be responsible for taking you to the airport.”

“OK, just a moment.”

Xu Xinyuan tidied his room and packed his bags as fast as he could. He locked the door and followed the man to the nearest airport. Two hours later, the plane took off on time and went straight into the sky.

“Sir, he is on the plane headed to Dao.”

“Alright, I got it.” After hanging up the phone, Guo Zhenghe looked up at the sky.

“I hope you can make it, Uncle Xu.”

Through this short time of contact, he had grown to like Xu Xinyuan very much. He needed help from a person like him.

After several hours, the plane arrived at the Dao airport in the afternoon. Someone had been waiting there for a long time. After meeting Xu Xinyuan, they headed toward Haiqu.

The driver looked at the man in the back of the car through the rearview mirror. His face was yellow and dry, and his lips were dry. His eyes were an alarming shade of red. He had been drinking water the entire way. He had drunk a huge bottle of mineral water. This was an obvious anomaly.

What’s the matter with this Mr. Xu?

Looking at this person’s abnormal state, he felt quite afraid, but his professional attitude did not allow him to ask anything. He just drove in silence.

It took more than two hours to drive from Dao to Haiqu. They arrived in Lianshan County in the evening.

“Mr. Xu, shall we find a place to stay and go to the clinic tomorrow?”

“Sure.” Xu Xinyuan spoke as if his words were gold.

He was feeling very uncomfortable. It was as if there was a fire in his body burning him from the inside. The continuous drinking of water did not help. A strong wave of heat would waft out of his mouth when he spoke.

“It’s getting worse.”

He did not speak because he was afraid that the uncontrollable heat in his body would gush out. He was also worried that he might get out of control. He wanted to break free from the car.

“Shall we rest first?”

Only when he arrived at the hotel did he realize just how wrong the idea was. In his current situation, he was not able to sleep. The pain kept his body in a state of constant suffering.

Damn it!

The feeling of agony became even more serious throughout the night. He felt there was a possibility that his emotions would burst out.

He wanted to vent and roar. He even wanted to kill.

He kept reminding himself, Restraint! Restraint!

While waiting and suffering, the sun finally rose and a new day began.

“Breakfast is ready, Mr. Xu.”

“I won’t eat. Let’s go to the doctor’s immediately.” Xu Xinyuan gruffly spoke through gritted teeth.

“OK.”

Seeing how scary his expression was, the driver didn’t say much. He drove directly to the mountain village. It was just a little more than 7 a.m. The mountain village had just woken up. Someone had already come out to take out the garbage. Several people could be seen on the street.

“We’re here. It’s right here.”

With grey tiles and white walls, the building was very distinct and easy to find.

The wooden door was still locked. Wang Yao had not come down the mountain.

No one?

Xu Xinyuan could not sit still in the car. He kept pacing outside the clinic.

On the mountain road not far away, Jia Zizai and Hu Mei came down from the mountain after their morning exercise. They spotted two people waiting outside when they passed by the gate of the clinic.

“Huh?!”

Their eyes fell on Xu Xinyuan. There was a special aura on the man, which was very similar to the aura they once had. It was a kind of evil aura. Moreover, this man’s face was a kind of dry yellow. His eyes were all bloodshot. They were scarlet and frightening. He was gritting his teeth as if he was suffering in agony. He was a person who looked very abnormal.

“This man has killed people.” The two exchanged a look.

“What are you doing here?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Oh, we are here to see the doctor.”

“Him?” Jia Zizai pointed to the man not far away.

“Yes, do you know when Dr. Wang will come down the mountain?” the driver asked. He was quite worried. Along the way there, he realized that Mr. Xu’s situation was becoming more abnormal. He seemed like he could lose control at any time, which could make him suffer from an undeserved catastrophe.

“Just a moment. Sir should be about to come down from the mountain,” Jia Zizai said as he looked at his bracelet.

It was now 7:30 a.m. He knew Wang Yao usually came down the mountain at about 8 a.m. and would come to the clinic.

“Thank you.”

Xu Xinyuan went to the open space next to the clinic. He reached out his hands and gripped tightly onto the trunk of a tree.
