Chen Jiagui had blood at the corner of his mouth. He had blood and dirt on his body. He was naked and had a blade in his shoulder. He kept bleeding. His eyes looked scary, stunned, and red. They were no longer human’s eyes.
The man who was attacked by Chen Jiagui covered his wound. The old man held the child.

Let’s go to the hospital, stop beating him!
the old man shouted.

OK.
The man immediately ran off.

Sis, what’s wrong with him?
Chen Zhou asked as he was looking at Chen Jiagui.



I don’t know. He’s dangerous. Don’t go anywhere close to him,
Chen Ying said.
Anyone could see Chen Jiagui was not normal.

He’s gone mad. Don’t go close to him,
the injured man said.

Where are you going?
the old man anxiously asked.

Let’s go to Yao’s clinic first,
the injured man said.

You don’t wanna go to the hospital?
asked the old man.

The hospital is too far,
said the injured man.
Most of the villagers reckoned Wang Yao was a good doctor nowadays. They had faith in him. Some people would go to see Wang Yao for any illness. As a traditional Chinese pharmacist, he could basically cure any illnesses.
The injured man carried his son and ran into Wang Yao’s clinic without paying any attention to the bleeding wound on his neck. He didn’t even knock on the door.

Yao! Can you please take a look at my son!
the injured man shouted.



Sure, what happened?
Wang Yao saw the blood on the injured man’s neck.

I’ve been bitten by a mad dog,
the injured man said.

A mad dog?
Wang Yao asked.

I’ll tell you about it later. Take a look at my son first. Someone threw him to the ground. Can you check if he is alright?
the injured man asked.

OK, don’t worry,
Wang Yao said. He then took a good look at the child.

He’s fine. Just a concussion. I guess he was just terrified,
Wang Yao said.
What about you? What happened to your neck?

He had sharp eyes. He could tell whether the wound was caused by a dog or a person. He didn’t think the wound was caused by a dog.

Let me stop the bleeding first,
Wang Yao said.
It will hurt a bit.

Wang Yao cleared the wound for the injured man. He took some herbs that could stop bleeding and ground them into powder. He applied the powder on the wound and pressed a few surrounding acupoints to stop the bleeding. He then wrapped the wound with gauze.

What exactly happened?
Wang Yao asked.



Well, don’t even mention it. That crazy bastard Chen Jiagui attacked me,
the injured man said.

Chen Jiagui?
Wang Yao knew the notorious old bachelor and scumbag.
Did he bite you?


Yes.
The injured man told Wang Yao what had happened.
Do you think he’s gone crazy? He didn’t even duck when I attacked him with a blade. He didn’t seem to be in pain.

Wang Yao kept silent for a while. He had never come across anyone as mad as Chen Jiagui. He thought even mad people should feel pain.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhou and Chen Ying were still are on the street.

Sis, should we leave?
Chen Zhou asked in low voice.
They had looked into Chen Jiagui’s eyes for a while. The more Chen Zhou looked into Chen Jiagui’s eyes, the more spooky he felt.

Let’s wait for a moment,
Chen Ying calmly said.

Maybe he’ll continue attacking people,
Chen Zhou said.

That’s why we should wait,
Chen Ying said.


Chen Jiagui moved first. He turned around and walked off.

He walked away. He’s not mad anymore?
Chen Zhou asked.

Let’s go and follow him,
Chen Ying said.

Why?
Chen Zhou asked.

What if he attacks people again?
Chen Ying asked.
Chen Jiagui kept walking. His shoulder kept bleeding.

Sis, do you think he’s gonna bleed to death?
Chen Zhou said.

Probably,
Chen Ying said.
Wang Yao had cleaned and wrapped the wounds on the injured man and his son.

Where is Chen Jiagui now?
Wang Yao asked.



He should still be there. By the way, the sister and brother who recently moved to the village were there. I hope nothing will happen to them,
the injured man said.

I’ll take a look. If you feel anything abnormal, such as fever or pain, come back here immediately,
Wang Yao said.

OK,
the injured man said.
Wang Yao charged the injured man a minimal fee. They then left the clinic together. The injured man took Wang Yao to the place where the incident happened. No one was there.

They were just here,
the injured man said.

There is blood on the ground,
Wang Yao said.
He followed the trace of blood rapidly until he reached a small courtyard.

Dr. Wang,
Chen Ying said.

You guys are here, too,
Wang Yao said.

Yes, there is a mad man here,
Chen Ying said. She told Wang Yao what had happened.

He’s inside?
Wang Yao asked.

Yes,
Chen Ying said.

I’ll go inside to take a look. You guys wait here,
Wang Yao said.

OK,
Chen Ying said.
The old wooden door was left open. Wang Yao entered the courtyard. He didn’t enter the house immediately. Instead, he walked around the courtyard, which was messy. There were wine bottles, rubbish, sheep skin, and bones strewn about. He stopped in front of the sheep skin and squatted down.
The bones were broken. A broken tooth was found next to the bones. It was a human tooth.
Wang Yao thought, He took a bite of the bones here.
He walked around the courtyard again before heading toward the house.

Be careful, Dr. Wang!
Chen Zhou shouted from outside.

I will,
Wang Yao said with a smile.
The house was extremely shabby and messy. Rubbish bags were everywhere. Hardened buns were left on the table. Wang Yao could see how lazy Chen Jiagui was.
Wang Yao followed the trace of blood in the house. He found Chen Jiagui naked and lying on the bed. The blade was still inside his shoulder. He was still bleeding.
He’s very short of breath!
Wang Yao noticed Chen Jiagui’s broken mouth, teeth, and tongue.
He can’t feel the pain. What is this?
He noticed the a number of enlarged blood vessels in Chen Jiagui’s chest. He then checked Chen Jiagui’s pulse.
Wang Yao looked serious. This is really bad!
Chen Jiagui’s organs had all be severely damaged. His Qi and blood flow appeared to be vigorous. Actually, it was like he was being fried in hot oil. Extreme vigor could lead to extreme weakness. Chen Jiagui was poisoned. The toxin was fierce. It was actually caused by a type of toxic insect.
Wang Yao patted on Chen Jiagui’s body several times to make sure Chen Jiagui couldn’t stand up. He then immediately left the room.

Dr. Wang, how is he?
Chen Ying asked.

I need a favor from you guys,
Wang Yao said.

Not a problem,
Chen Ying said.

Find some quicklime to clean all the blood here,
Wang Yao said. He was worried the disease could travel through blood.

OK,
Chen Ying said.

You can buy some quicklime from the production team in the village,
Wang Yao said.

I see,
Chen Ying said.

Wait! Did you guys have any body contact with that mad guy?
Wang Yao asked.

No,
Chen Ying said.

Good, off you go,
Wang Yao said.
After Chen Ying and her brother left, Wang Yao locked the door of Chen Jiagui’s house to prevent anyone from entering.
Woof! A local dog came into the courtyard and sniffed the ground.

Go away!
Chen Ying threw a stone at the dog.

Sis, you go find the quicklime. I’ll wait here and watch,
Chen Zhou said.

OK, be careful,
Chen Ying said.
She soon came back with quicklime. She worked with Chen Zhou to apply the quicklime onto the blood trace. The dry blood quickly reacted to the quicklime and became black.
Meanwhile, Wang Yao went to visit Li Zucai, the man who was attacked by Chen Jiagui.

Yao, what brings you here?
Li Zucai asked.
His face had turned red. He was short of breath, and his eyes looked bloodshot. Wang Yao observed him closely. He didn’t see those features before.

Let me take a another look at you. Do you feel uncomfortable at all?
Wang Yao asked.

Not really,
Li Zucai said. He didn’t notice that his breath had heated up.

Has anyone else been attacked by Chen Jiagui apart from you?
Wang Yao asked.

No,
Li Zucai said.

What about the child?
Wang Yao asked.

Haoze is sleeping.
Haoze’s grandpa came along.

Can I see him?
Wang Yao asked.

Sure,
Li Zucai said.
Wang Yao went inside the room to take a look at the child, who was in a deep sleep. He was relieved after making sure the child was fine.

You need to come with me to the clinic,
Wang Yao said.

OK,
Li Zucai said.

Yao, what’s going on?
Haoze’s grandpa anxiously asked.

I’m afraid Chen Jiagui’s condition is contagious,
Wang Yao said.

What? Contagious? What will happen to Zucai?
the old man asked.

I’ll see what I can do,
Wang Yao said.

OK, thank you,
the old man said.
Li Zucai’s face turned pale. He had witnessed Chen Jiagui’s craziness. Chen Jiagui didn’t appear to recognize anyone. He didn’t want to turn into a crazy man.

Yao, please help me!
Li Zucai begged.

Don’t worry, I’ll do my best,
Wang Yao said.
They went back to Wang Yao’s clinic.

Sit still. You might feel a bit uncomfortable.
Wang Yao quickly patted on Li Zucai’s body.

What are you doing?
Li Zucai asked.
He wanted to stand up, but he couldn’t. He had lost control of his legs.
