"Excellent! I've improved the quality of the pills this time," said Wang Yao with a smile as he was looking at the herbal pills inside the herb tray .
Wang Yao put all the herbal pills inside a porcelain bottle after he had made them .
Another day! Wang Yao stretched and yawned, then walked out of the cottage .
Water had entered the small pool Wang Yao dug just now, which looked very clear .
Good! The pool should be full of water in the next two to three days .
Wang Yao went to the top of the hill and started to practice Tai Chi next to a big rock . His body moved with his heart . His Qi flowed freely inside his body as if Wang Yao could control the wind and Qi in his palm .
Wang Yao didn't stop practicing until it was dark . He went home for dinner .
"I heard hot spring water was found in the ditch inside Li Village at West," said Zhang Xiuying while they were having dinner .
"Hot spring water?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes, I also heard the area is going to be developed into a holiday resort," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Holiday resort? They should fix the roads first," said Wang Yao with a smile . The roads inside Li Village only had one lane . People couldn't even take over a car in front—who was going to go there?
"You never know . Some people just like visiting rural places, and they don't mind whether the roads are good," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Hey, how can you guys start having dinner without me?" Wang Ru opened the door and came in while Wang Yao was having dinner with his parents .
"How come you are back today?" said Zhang Xiuying in surprise .
"It's Friday today, and tomorrow will be weekend . I called you earlier," said Wang Ru .
"Sorry, I was busy talking about the hot spring water and forgot about you . Have you had dinner?" asked Zhang Xiuying with a smile .
"Hahaha!" Wang Yao suddenly started to laugh . He looked really happy .
Wang Ru stood there and pretended she was angry .
"There is still some lamb soup left in the pot; I'll heat it for you," said Zhang Xiuying .
Feeling that she was not treated seriously, Wang Ru, a pretty and slim girl drank three bowls of soup in a row .
"Jesus, Sis, haven't you had lunch?" said Wang Yao .

"Shut your mouth!" said Wang Ru .
The whole house became alive after Wang Ru had arrived .
Wang Yao and his family chatted and played poker games after dinner . It was nice and cozy .
"What's your plan tomorrow, Yao?" asked Wang Ru .
"I need to run some errands tomorrow in town," said Wang Yao . He actually needed to see Wei Hai the next day .
"Can I take a look at your herbal field tomorrow? Tell your dog, and your eagle don't stop me," said Wang Ru .
"Why do you want to see my herbal field?" asked Wang Yao reluctantly .
"I need to look for some herbs . Well, no, I need to study the herbs," said Wang Ru .
"No way! Don't even think of it," Wang Yao declined his sister directly . "I'll go with you after I come back if you really want some herbs . "
"Stingy!" said Wang Ru grumpily .
Wang Yao was worried that his naughty sister would do something she was not supposed to do on Nanshan hill . He never worried about his parents staying around on Nanshan hill; they never entered his herbal field . His parents knew it was not easy for him to plant all those herbs . However, his sister was too curious to stay away from the herbal field . Wang Yao wouldn't risk her damaging his licorice roots .
"I'm going back to the hill," said Wang Yao to his family before leaving .
. . .
It was very quiet on the hill at night . A person was walking extremely fast on the winding roads of the hill . Wang Yao walked in the same way uphill almost every evening . Tai Chi was not always slow . Sometimes Tai Chi could be as fast as thunder .
Wang Yao walked all the way up to where his cottage was without stopping . He did breathing exercise to settle his breath before entering the cottage . Then, he read scriptures for a short while and went to sleep .
The next day, he came to Wang Mingbao's store as promised . Wei Hai had been waiting for him by the time he had arrived .
"Hello, Dr . Wang . " Wei Hai came to Wang Yao as soon as he saw him . The look on Wei Hai's look was like meeting a family member who he hadn't seen for years .
Tears were in Wei Hai's eyes . He was so eager to see Wang Yao .
"Finally, you are here, Yao . He had arrived even before I opened the store," said Wang Mingbao with a smile .
As soon as Wang Mingbao arrived at his store in the morning, he saw Wei Hai got out of his vehicle . Wei Hai had been waiting for Wang Yao in his store since early in the morning .
"Please sit down, let me take a look at you," said Wang Yao .

Wei Hai was very compliant . He sat down and showed Wang Yao his arms immediately .
Wang Yao checked his pulse for a while and could sense the difference .
"How have you been feeling in the last few days?" asked Wang Yao .
"I feel much better," said Wei Hai . "The herbs you gave me worked really well . "
Wang Yao knew the decoction he made for Wei Hai only made him feel better . The decoction had been repairing his body and consolidating his corporeity . It would not cure him—not even the symptoms .
Regather soup surely had its effect .
I should let him try the other decoction, thought Wang Yao .
"What's wrong? Dr . Wang?" Wei Hai was a bit nervous, as Wang Yao hadn't spoken for a while . He was very jittery and easily panicked .
"Your health has improved . I've got another decoction here, which could kill the insects in your body, but the nature of the decoction is very strong . You may not feel good while taking it," said Wang Yao .
"Don't worry, I can tolerate the discomfort," said Wei Hai even before Wang Yao had finished talking .
"Okay, I'll give the decoction to you to try . " Wang Yao took out the decoction which contained miasma grass .
"Just try a little bit to begin with," said Wang Yao . Wang Mingbao took out a small glass while Wang Yao was talking .
The decoction was light green and had a mild aroma . It didn't seem to be strong .
Wei Hai took the whole glass of decoction without hesitation . The decoction tasted special and was a bit spicy .
Wang Yao checked Wei Hai's pulse again after ten minutes .
"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable," said Wang Yao .
"Sure," said Wei Hai .
After half an hour, Wei Hai's face changed, and he started to sweat on his head .
"What's going on? Do you feel pain in your belly?" asked Wang Yao immediately .
"Yes," said Wei Hai .
"Where is the pain?" asked Wang Yao .
"Here," said Wei Hai .

He pointed at the ribs on his right-hand side .
"Liver?" asked Wang Yao .
"I need to go to the toilet now!" Wei Hei rushed out of the room .
Blergh! Wei Hai started to vomit before reaching the toilet . He vomited blood, dark red blood, which was as thick as mud .
Ah!!
A woman passing Wei Hai screamed after she saw the blood .
"What's going on?!" Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao ran out of the room after hearing the scream . They saw Wei Hai holding onto the wall with a puddle of dark red blood next to his feet .
Wang Yao felt a fishy smell before walking closer to Wei Hai .
"Oh my god! What's happening?" Wei Hai was in shock .
Wang Yao bent down to check the blood on the ground . It seemed that there was something muddy in the blood . Wang Yao looked close and found that there were actually tiny insects smaller than a thread within the vomit . The insects were moving inside the blood—it looked disgusting .
"Oh!"
Wei Hai's body suddenly started to shake . He then ran into the toilet and stayed there for a long time .
"What the hell is this?!" asked Wang Mingbao .
Wang Mingbao saw the blood on the ground, and he could see something moving inside the blood, which gave him a shiver . He felt his hair standing on end .
"We need to have the place cleaned and sterilized," said Wang Yao to Wang Mingbao .
"Okay, I'll deal with it now," said Wang Mingbao .
Wang Mingbao immediately arranged people to clean the blood off the ground and wash the area a number of times using bleach . The corridor was full of the smell of cleaning supplies afterwards .
"Can you see him at a different place next time?" asked Wang Mingbao .
Businessmen were often superstitious . Blood was not a good sign; the blood was in Wang Mingbao's store, and it looked a bit spooky .
After coming out of the toilet, Wei Hai acted like he had lost his soul . He couldn't even walk properly .
"Dr . Wang, what happened to me? Why did I vomit blood and why does my stool have blood?!" Although Wei Hai was seriously ill, he had never vomited blood like this .
"It was due to the decoction you took just now . The decoction helped you to excrete the parasites," said Wang Yao .
He thought for a short moment and agreed with Wang Yao . "Maybe I should drink a bit more?" said Wei Hai . He then wanted to take more of the decoction .
"Not now!" Wang Yao stopped him .
He didn't expect the decoction to be so strong . Wei Hai was still quite weak, so he wouldn't be able to tolerate more decoction in his body .
"Well, let me brew you another Regather soup to take with the decoction I gave you just now," said Wang Yao after thinking for a moment .
"Okay, should I wait for you here?" asked Wei Hai .
"No, you can come back tomorrow," said Wang Yao .
"Dr . Wang, I bought a commercial property in town, and it is not far from here . Shall I meet you there tomorrow?" asked Wei Hai .
"That's fine," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao went to have a look at Wei Hai's property, which was about 50 meters from Wang Mingbao's store . It was recently rented out . Surprisingly, the tenants didn't run Wei Hai's seafood business . It was a tea shop .
"How about meeting you here tomorrow?" asked Wei Hai .
"No problem," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao went home after seeing Wei Hai . Then, he returned to Nanshan hill to prepare some herbs used to brew Regather soup . He didn't have many herbs left, so he asked Li Maoshuang to purchase some for him .
What a strong decoction! Wang Yao thoroughly documented Wei Hai's response to miasma grass in his notebook .
One decoction directly targeted the disease, while the other treated the disease indirectly . They worked quite well . Wang Yao had more thoughts and a better understanding of how to use herbs . Accepting knowledge from the system and applying the knowledge in a flexible way, were two totally different things .
While Wang Yao was busy working on the hill, he received a call from his mother . She asked him to go home due to something urgent, so Wang Yao stopped working and went home .
"What is it, Mom?" asked Wang Yao .
"Your youngest uncle's wife is pregnant," said Zhang Xiuying .
"What!" Wang Yao felt speechless . "Why does it have anything to do with me?" It took Wang Yao a while to find words .
"I thought since you knew a lot about medicine, maybe you could tell if she is pregnant with a boy or a girl," said Zhang Xiuying .
"So, this is why you asked me to come back; just for this?!" Wang Yao was even more speechless . What the hell is this? he thought .
"This is a big thing in the family . You know, your grandparents are so keen on having a grandson!" said Zhang Xiuying .
