He walked around the courtyard and looked at it carefully. There was no problem in the small yard, as well as in the interior of the house. He locked the door and went up Nanshan Hill in the rain.
It was raining cats and dogs. Wang Yao walked very fast, so not much rain fell on him.
After a short while, he had arrived at Nanshan Hill.
In the herb falield, the dog laid in his kennel and looked at the rain falling from the sky. It seemed to be enjoying the rain. After hearing Wang Yao’s footsteps, it only barked once, which was considered to be a greeting.
“Yo, San Xian. Are you enjoying the rain?”
The hawk also stayed in its nest on the tree.
The rain poured heavily, making a pitter-patter sound as it hit the glass.
In the cottage, he made a cup of tea and carefully read the Six Volumes of Acupuncture, which was an ancient pharmaceutical technology book.
This ancient book was written by a famous doctor of the Ming Dynasty by writing out his lifelong experience in treating patients. Many medical cases were included. They were recorded in detail, none of them being things that were purely theoretical. In Wang Yao’s view, this kind of medical book was more suitable for medical practitioners. After all, healing illnesses and saving people’s lives were the most intrinsic purposes of practicing medicine. As for academic research, it wasn’t the primary purpose.
Wang Yao was engrossed in the book. He read for the whole afternoon.
The rain outside poured suddenly and heavily, but it also disappeared after a short time. The rain stopped near evening, but the air outside was still stuffy and humid.
What a great book!
Yearning for more, Wang Yao only then put down the medical book when he realized it was getting late.
Just looking at the professionalism and the attitude of medical practitioners revealed in between the lines in the book alone, the ancient people were a lot better than most of the medical practitioners now!
Although it was midnight, he had not gone to bed because he was waiting to formulate the medicine which could suppress the extreme Yang toxins in Sun Yunsheng’s body.
A frost grass. This was the time when Yin Qi was the most abundant between the heaven and earth.
Wang Yao stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky.
The medicine was decocted according to the method last time, which was to heat it using the water bath method. The water was almost boiling, but when the frost grass was added, a chill was exuded immediately.
Wang Yao hurriedly took out the pot and held it in his hands. The warmth disappeared in a very short period of time and the pot became cold.
Although he had already experienced it once, he still felt the magic when he saw it again that day.
A grass, an herb, and a medicine.
The lights on the hill did not go out until past midnight.
…
In a famous hospital somewhere in Jing City, something was very difficult to register for a specialist there.
“Incredible. This is really incredible!”
Looking at the medical report in his hands, the doctor who was in his forties exclaimed.
He had many experiences with the man in front of him. He had seen him four times a year. At first, his illness could still be controlled. At that time, his body could still get by and the foundations were still there. However, when he saw him for the second time, his condition was already like a heavy smoker. His footsteps were floaty and his body had already given in. It was not an exaggeration to describe his condition as hopeless. That time, the doctor could do nothing about it. After that, his condition had seemed to magically improved, and he looked much better. He was already extremely surprised at the time. Seeing him again his time, he had actually recovered completely!
How was this possible?!
“Which famous doctor did you seek? Can you introduce him to me?” the middle-aged doctor asked very sincerely.
Under such circumstances, the illness could actually still be cured, though it was highly difficult and unlikely. The person who did it must be an ace. Communicating with such a person in the same occupation would help him greatly in improving himself.
“Sorry.” Wei Hai only said a word.
He regarded Wang Yao as a friend and his savior. His life was saved by Wang Yao.
Without Wang Yao’s permission, Wei Hai would never disclose any of his information to strangers.
“It’s all right. If you change your mind, or if the person who cured your illness changes his mind, you can give me a call anytime.”
The doctor specifically gave his private number to Wei Hai for this matter. Usually, people could never get it no matter how much they asked for it.
“Okay.”
Phew. After coming out from the hospital, Wei Hai felt very relaxed, even though it was horrifyingly hot in Jing City at the moment, and he was already drenched in sweat.
My illness is cured!
At this point, he really wanted to scream at the sky.
What kind of life had he lived over the years? He was once living in fear day and night. It was a plague on his spirit and body.
Now, it was over. A wonderful life was coming.
He could drink and eat lots of meat. He did not have to worry about being awakened by nightmares at night.
“Thank you,” he saidto no one in particular. He didn’t even know whom he wanted to say that to.
…
“Spa? Road repair?”
When Wang Yao returned home to have lunch at noon, he heard the news.
“Yes.”
“What does it have to do with us?”
The spa was at Lijiagou was more than 10 miles away from the mountain village where Wang Yao was. It was located in the far east of the ravine and was more remote than the mountain village where Wang Yao was. There was only a single road to go in and out of the spa from the mountain village.
“A lot. The road has to be widened.” Wang Fenghua added, “It’ll be harder to walk when we go out.”
“It doesn’t matter. We don’t go out often anyway,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.
“Moreover, who’s paying for the renovations?”
Lianshan County was a small county in the mountains. Several roads were just repaired recently. It was said that there was not much money in the finances. Despite the fact that it was just a road, the construction would invade and occupy many farmlands in order to widen the road. The farmers had to be compensated. Furthermore, there were cement roads in the village now. It would not be easy to widen it.
However, just like what Wang Yao said, the matter didn’t have much to do with them for the time being.
In the afternoon, he went to Lianshan County.
Sun Zhengrong was waiting for him at the place which they had decided on.
“This is the medicine. The amount is twice that of the last time and the usage method is the same.” Wang Yao took out the herbal medicine which he had prepared beforehand.
“Thank you.” Sun Zhengrong took the medicine with both hands and it was still biting cold.
“What about the consultation fee?”
“It’s okay.”
Wang Yao waved his hand. When he was in Jing City last time, he collected the medical fee because of the frost grass. This time, the combination of a spring teapot and a Ming Dynasty medical book was enough to offset the medical fee.
“How is it okay?”
“When I said it’s okay, it’s okay!” Wang Yao replied firmly.
Sun Zhengrong had to give up after hearing what Wang Yao said.
The medicine was enough to suppress him for a month, easily.
After a month, the medical center should be able to be opened for business.
Wang Yao did not like going back and forth like this.
After the medicine was delivered, Wang Yao and Sun Zhengrong chatted for a while and thenparted. Sun Zhengrong did not continue to stay in Lianshan County. He dropped by Tian Yuantu’s place and went back to Dao City by car.
After returning to the hill, Wang Yao picked up the ancient medical book again and referred to the medical cases in it, as well as the method of acupuncture. He would pause and take a needle to carry out an experiment on his body every so often. When he went down the hill near evening, he would water the plants in the small courtyard.
He was like this for a few days.
A few days later, after notifying his parents of his destination, Wang Yao drove to Ji City. The day after the next was the day of the qualification certificate exam. It was different from the time of the Unified Examination every year. He did not know why it was shifted to an earlier date this year.
Ji City was a few hours away from Lianshan County. It was famous because it was extremely hot during summer.
After arriving at this provincial capital city with such a long history, Wang Yao first found a hotel near the location of the exam. Then, he went out for a stroll to familiarize himself with the exam venue.
It was very hot in Ji City. This was how most people who had been here during summer felt.
“Uncle, can you do a good deed by giving me some money?”
When Wang Yao came out of the exam venue, he saw a child beggar by the roadside. He had broken a leg and his body was very dirty. He also had other injuries and he was no more than six or seven years old. He was supposed to be spoiled in his parents’ arms at this age, but he was here, begging for money and suffering.
Wang Yao stopped walking. The child then hugged Wang Yao’s legs, rubbing and tugging his legs. His movements were very skillful. Obviously, this was not his first time he had done this.
At that moment, Wang Yao did not know what to feel.
It was a mix of pain, sorrow, and anger.
He took out 10 yuan from his pocket and gave it to the child. Then, he looked at the child’s broken leg, which was mangled by an external force. In such a situation, it was basically impossible to recover.
Seeing that Wang Yao was looking at his leg, the child hurriedly dodged to the side and looked at Wang Yao with a vigilant look.
“Who broke your leg?”
Wang Yao somewhat regretted after he asked. What could be done if he asked? Would the child say anything? If he did, what would he do?
Break the other person’s leg?!
“It’s none of your business!” The child’s facial expression suddenly became sinister like a wolf.
