After Wang Yao had returned to Nanshan hill, he documented Secretary Yang's mother's diagnosis in his notebook . He also wrote down a basic treatment plan after thinking for a while .
Wang Yao had been thinking of how to treat Secretary Yang's mother and what herbs he should use the whole afternoon . He didn't rest until 4 pm .
He walked around Nanshan hill when it was close to dusk .
The trees he planted several weeks ago were growing very well . The leaves on the trees were fresh and green, which made the whole hill more alive .
Several birds twittered and flew close .
A loud sound from the sky scared the birds away . It was from Da Xia . Since Da Xia settled on Nanshan hill, Wang Yao hadn't seen any small birds nearby .
After practicing Tai Chi for a while on the top of the hill, Wang Yao came down and found San Xian was wandering in the herbal field smelling something . The smart dog had been avoiding the herbs since Wang Yao created the herbal field .
"San Xian, have you found any pests?" asked Wang Yao .
San Xian looked at Wang Yao and shook his head .
"Good," said Wang Yao .
Maybe it was because of them? thought Wang Yao as he looked at the miasma grass on the ground . The leaves of miasma grass were dark green and hard, looking like tiny swords .
"San Xian, what does this herb smell like?" Wang Yao pointed the miasma grass to San Xian .
San Xian gave him a weird look .
"Hey, what do you mean by that look?" said Wang Yao with a smile .
He squatted down and smelled the miasma grass himself . The smell was actually nice; it had a faint aroma .
"I think it smells nice . Don't you think so?" said Wang Yao .
Are you stupid? San Xian looked at Wang Yao in disdain .
When Wang Yao arrived at home late afternoon, he found cigarettes and bottles of wine on the table .
"Who's been here?" asked Wang Yao .

"Your Uncle Fenglong . He just came to thank you," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Hey, why did he bring those? We are family . He didn't need to do that," said Wang Yao .
"I didn't want to accept them, but he insisted and left them on the table . He said he really appreciated you helping his son and preventing him from suffering too much in the hospital," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Is the kid still in the hospital?" asked Wang Yao .
"No . He has been discharged . Fenglong also brought him here . The kid looks fine . He's a lovely boy," said Zhang Xiuying .
"That's good," said Wang Yao .
Zhang Xiuying had set up the table, but Wang Fenghua hadn't arrived at home yet .
"Where is Dad?" asked Wang Yao .
"He just went out for a walk . He should be home soon," said Zhang Xiuying .
While they were chatting, Wang Fenghua came home .
"Dinner's ready," said Zhang Xiuying .
Wang Fenghua told his family that the warehouse belonged to the village production team . It had been rented out and would be used as a processing factory .
"Do you know what they are going to process there?" asked Wang Yao . He knew already that the warehouse had been rented out, but he didn't know to whom and for what . Even Wang Mingbao didn't know, which surprised Wang Yao . After all, Wang Mingbao's father was the head of the local government in the village . Maybe the only explanation was that Wang Mingbao's father was too busy to find out what was going on in the warehouse previously belonging to the village production team .
"I heard it is some sort of machinery processing factory . Someone came to clean up the warehouse today," said Wang Fenghua .
"Why are they doing machinery processing in an isolated village?" said Wang Yao .
The next morning, several trucks drove into the village, followed by forklifts and cranes . Equipment was loaded down from the truck and moved into the production team warehouse .
"What are these?"
"I'm not sure; maybe they are going to open a small factory . "
"Will they hire people?"
The villagers started to gather around the production team warehouse and gossiped .

Wang Yao received an unexpected phone call when he was on Nanshan hill . It was Pan Jun, a doctor from the emergency department of the town hospital . The reason why he called Wang Yao was that he wanted Wang Yao to see a special patient in a clinic . He promised that Wang Yao would get paid for the visit .
A doctor from the town hospital is asking me to see a patient?
Wang Yao thought for a moment and accepted the request . They arranged a meeting the next morning .
The production team warehouse was still filled with busy people hired by an unknown company . More and more equipment had been moved into the warehouse . The workers were busy connecting power points and laying pipelines . They didn't stop working until midnight .
The next morning around 9 am, Wang Yao arrived at the clinic where he planned to meet Pan Jun . The clinic was located among a group of apartments with a very common name: Ren He Clinic .
Pan Jun was already there and was surprised to see Wang Yao's vehicle .
What an expensive car, he thought .
"Hello!" greeted Pan Jun .
"Hello, Dr . Pan," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Please come in," said Pan Jun . He lead Wang Yao into the clinic .
The clinic had two stories . Most of the clinical rooms were located on the second floor, while the first floor was for patients to get medication . There were quite a few patients in the clinic when Wang Yao was visiting . Most of the practitioners in the clinic were experienced doctors, who were hired after retiring from the hospital .
Pan Jun lead Wang Yao into an empty meeting room .
"Please take a seat," said Pan Jun while making a cup of tea for Wang Yao . "Here is your cup of tea . "
"Thank you . " Wang Yao took the cup .
"Just one moment; the patient will arrive soon," said Pan Jun .
"That's fine,"
"The owner of the clinic is my friend . I come here to help whenever I'm available," said Pan Jun .
In fact, the reason why he asked Wang Yao for help was because he overheard the name "Traditional Chinese Pharmacist" the other day . After doing some research, Pan Jun understood what a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist was . He also witnessed Wang Yao's ability to treat patients the other day, and so, he started to become curious about Wang Yao . Recently, Pan Jun came across an elderly patient in the clinic who suffered from a weird disease . The patient had been treated in the hospital, but could not be cured, so he wanted to try the doctors in the clinic . The retired doctors also couldn't cure the patient, so Pan Jun thought about Wang Yao .

He hoped that Wang Yao could cure the patient . But even if Wang Yao couldn't, he had nothing to lose .
"Dr . Pan, your patient is here," said a young nurse who knocked at the door ten minutes later .
"Good! Dr . Wang, please follow me . " Pan Jun stood up .
Pan Jun led Wang Yao to an independent office, which was equipped with a desk, a chair, a computer and a stethoscope .
"Could you please see the patient here?" suggested Pan Jun .
"Sure, let me try," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Okay, I'll ask them to come in," said Pan Jun .
A moment later, Pan Jun came back with an elderly woman in her 70's . This elderly woman was slightly kyphotic . Her hair was completely white, and she didn't look well . With her, was a middle-aged woman wearing fashionable clothes .
"Hello, Dr . Pan . Is he the doctor you mentioned the other day?" said the middle-aged woman . She didn't expect Doctor Pan Jun to recommend such a young man . She gave Pan Jun an angry glance .
"What can such a young doctor do?!" murmured the middle-aged woman .
"Although Dr . Wang is young, he is a fantastic doctor . Why not give him an opportunity to see your mother?" said Pan Jun . Still, he had no idea himself whether Wang Yao could cure the middle-aged woman's mother .
"Shall we try? Mother?" asked the middle-aged woman gently .
"Okay . " The elderly woman sat down with a smile .
"Can I check your pulse first?" asked Wang Yao, which surprised the elderly woman and her daughter .
"Check my pulse? You are . . . ?" said the middle-aged woman with a look of distrust on her face .
After all, Wang Yao was very young while only old and experienced Chinese Medicine Practitioners were considered good . It was common for a practitioner in their 70's to continue to treat patients, but practitioners in their 20's were rare .
"Yes, I am," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Okay . " The elderly woman reached out her shriveled arm .
Wang Yao put his fingers on her wrist .
"Do you often have headaches and poor sleep quality?" asked Wang Yao gently .
"Yes," said the elderly woman .
"Do you often feel uncomfortable in your stomach and tend to vomit after eating?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes, and it has become worse in the last few days," said the elderly woman .
"I see . Your illness is not too serious . Let me prescribe you an herbal formula," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Really?" said the elderly woman with a smile .
"Mom, I don't think we need the herbal formula . Let's go," said the middle-aged woman, who was apparently not happy at all . She thought Pan Jun had wasted her time and made a fool of her . She dragged her mother out of the clinical room .
Pan Jun was embarrassed . He didn't expect such response from his clients . He was disappointed but couldn't do anything about it .
"Dr . Pan, could you please ask that lady to come here? I forgot to tell her something," said Wang Yao, who ignored Pan Jun's embarrassed look .
"Okay," Pan Jun chased after the middle-aged woman and her mother and asked them to stop .
"Ms . Guo, please wait . I've got something to tell you," said Pan Jun .
"What is it?" asked the middle-aged woman .
"Well, shall we discuss it in private?" asked Pan Jun .
"Okay . Mom, could you please wait for me here?" The middle-aged woman walked away with Pan Jun .
"What is it?" she asked .
"Dr . Wang wanted to have a word with you in private," said Pan Jun .
"Him? Forget it! Checking people's pulse at such a young age? I think he was deliberately mystifying," said the middle-aged woman contemptuously .
"Dr . Pan, how can you ask such a person to see my mom? Are you fooled by him?" The middle-aged woman continued to speak .
"Haha, I'm sorry for wasting you and your mother's time," said Pan Jun with an awkward smile .
"Never mind . We don't live far from here, and we need to go out for a walk anyway . We have to go," said the middle-aged woman .
"Okay, bye . " Pan Jun walked them out of the clinic and then went back to the clinical room where Wang Yao was .
