Zhao Hou followed behind them and sighed silently.

Doctor Liu is really unreliable. It seems that he has to rely on himself to find out the news.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he met the piercing eyes of Yang Jianguo.

"Comrade Zhao, do you want to go to the toilet?"

"Shall I take you there?"

The corners of Zhao Hou's mouth twitched, and he shook his head stiffly, "No, I won't go."

In the following time, whenever Zhao Hou wanted to find an excuse to leave alone, Yang Jianguo "happened" to stop him.

So much so that the whole day, he could only follow Doctor Liu obediently and inspect the medicinal herb fields in Qingshan Village.

When they returned to their place at night, Zhao Hou could no longer hold back and complained to Doctor Liu, "You didn't help me order during the day, but just looked at the herbs? If we can't complete the task assigned by the young master, how can we go back?"

Doctor Liu glared at her and said unhappily, "How can I help you? It's your own fault that you're stupid and can't find a chance to escape."

"Why didn't I find a chance? That Yang Jianguo has been staring at me, what can I do? We will go back the day after tomorrow, and I must find out something tomorrow. Doctor Liu, we are now on the same boat, you have to help me!" Zhao Hou was anxious.

This was the first time he was sent out on an independent mission, so he had to perform well.

Doctor Liu thought for a moment and took out a small paper bag from his bag. "Drink this later."

"What is this?" Zhao Hou was dumbfounded.

"Laxatives." Doctor Liu said calmly, "Tomorrow you can find an excuse to say you are not feeling well and stay at home to recuperate. You don't need to go out with me."

"Ah?" He was a little reluctant, "But can't I just pretend to be unwell? I don't have to take the real medicine, right?"

We just had so many delicious foods today. If he takes laxatives, all these good things will be wasted.

"Qingshan Village is in the medicinal materials business. There must be someone in the village who knows medicine. What if you pretend to be sick and someone finds out? If you're acting, you have to do it well and don't treat people like fools."

After saying that, Doctor Liu put the medicine bag in his hand on the table, ignored Zhao Hou, and went straight to bed.

Gao Xiaotao will take him to the back mountain tomorrow. He heard that there are many wild Chinese medicinal herbs on Xiaoqing Mountain, and he is very much looking forward to it.

Zhao Hou hesitated for a while, but in the end he was afraid of being exposed, so he gritted his teeth and drank the medicine.

By midnight, the medicine had taken effect.

Zhao Hou felt his stomach churning and the pain was unbearable.

He could only run to the toilet again and again and couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, when everyone saw Zhao Hou, they were all shocked as if they had seen a ghost.

But after just one night, Zhao Hou seemed to have been drained of all his energy. His face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he had two big dark circles under his eyes.

When Yang Jianguo and Gao Xiaotao came over, they were also shocked when they saw his appearance.

"Doctor Liu, what happened to Comrade Zhao?" Yang Jianguo asked worriedly.

Is there something wrong with yesterday’s meal?

But he saw that other people were fine...

Doctor Liu said without any guilt: "It's okay, Zhao Hou just has some discomfort with the local climate, it's not a big problem."

"He will definitely not be able to follow today's schedule, so let him rest at home!"

Yang Jianguo and Gao Xiaotao looked at each other and said, "It's so serious, why don't we send him to the hospital?"

Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you look down on my medical skills?"

"That's not the case. We just saw that Comrade Zhao was in such a serious condition and were worried that he might have an accident. Since you said so, let him rest at home."

"I'll arrange someone to take care of Comrade Zhao later." Since Zhao Hou was like this, Yang Jianguo naturally couldn't force him to go up the mountain with him.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hou hurriedly spoke up to stop him, "No need, Doctor Liu gave me some medicine, I'll be fine after a short sleep."

"We have left someone to take care of him, so there is no need to trouble the villagers." Doctor Liu also said.

"Okay then." Yang Jianguo also reminded Zhao Hou to call someone if there was anything.

After Yang Jianguo and his group left, Zhao Hou breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally left.

"You stay at home, I'll go out to find out the news. If someone comes, just blow the whistle." After Zhao Hou gave an instruction to the person who stayed to take care of him, he slipped out the door alone.

Zhao Hou looked around outside and was surprised to find that he didn't meet anyone!

It was still broad daylight, but Qingshan Village seemed exceptionally empty.

Not only did every household keep their doors shut, there wasn't even the sound of talking.

Only the occasional cries of poultry could be heard.

Where did this person go?

He had been thinking about hiding his whereabouts, but there was no one around, so what was there for him to hide?

The whole village was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy!

Zhao Hou became more and more frightened as he walked, and he was almost worried that he had encountered some supernatural event.

Just when he was about to give up, he finally saw a person walking on the road in the distance.

Taking a closer look, I found that he was not very old, just a teenager.

He was delighted, thinking that being young was a good thing, as he was at the age when he could speak without restraint. He did not care about being exposed, and quickly shouted, "Hey!"

But the young man acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued walking forward.

Zhao Hou was anxious, and he chased after him while shouting, "Hey! Kid! Wait!"

"Hello!"

Zhao Hou felt that his throat was about to break, and the young man finally stopped.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the boy stop.

He almost passed out from running and shouting.

Having diarrhea all night last night had already depleted his energy greatly, and after such strenuous exercise, Zhao Hou felt like he was about to die.

“Huh…Huh…”

After finally coming in front of the young man, Zhao Hou was gasping for breath, with one hand on his waist and the other hand holding the tree. He felt that his mouth was so dry that it was about to crack.

When he got closer, Zhao Hou discovered that the young man had a good-looking appearance.

His hair was a little long, with a few strands just covering his forehead, and his eyes were dark and bright.

The boy had one hand in his pocket and the other holding a book, his curved joints clearly visible.

He stood tall and straight with his back erect.

Although he is young, people dare not look down on him.

He looked at Zhao Hou quietly, with doubt in his eyes but no impatience, showing great self-control.

"Are you okay? There is a doctor in the village. Do you need me to take you there?" The young man glanced at Zhao Hou's face and suddenly spoke with a frown.

Zhao Hou didn't know how ugly he looked at the moment. Not only was his face pale, but he was also sweating profusely. Especially his eyes, which were completely dull. He looked like an old man who was about to die.

"No... no need..." Zhao Hou swallowed his saliva and forced a smile on his face, "I'll just take a break..."

"Why don't you go and take a look? It's free." The boy thought the man was worried about money, so he kindly added.
