Since Wang Yao obtained the system and made friends with people of high social status, he had received a lot of packs of cigarettes, bottles of good wine, and teas as presents . He only liked the teas . As for the cigarettes and wine, Wang Yao gave all of those to his father .
"Yao, I need to ask you something," said Zhang Xiuying as she was tidying up the table after dinner .
"What is it?" asked Wang Yao .
"Your uncle rang me this afternoon . He wants you to see a patient," said Zhang Xiuying .
"Which patient?" asked Wang Yao .
"One of the managers from his company, whose surname is Yuan," replied Zhang Xiuying .
"I don't want to see him," said Wang Yao without hesitation .
"You forgot what happened to dad's youngest brother?" Wang Yao continued, "If the patient was a family member of my uncle's wife, I could go and see him, but not those people from his company . "
Colleagues and strangers would never keep any secrets for you .
Wang Yao still remembered that his youngest uncle brought Mr . Zhang from his company to him . He didn't want to experience the same thing again .
"That's fine," said Zhang Xiuying . She was also worried that it could bring trouble to her son, so she decided to turn her brother down .
Although Wang Fenghua didn't say anything, he didn't want his son to see those strangers . He kept silent because it was related to his wife's brother .
By the time Wang Yao was ready to go back to Nanshan hill after dinner, Wang Mingbao had come to visit him . It was almost 8 pm .
"Hey, how come you are here?" Wang Yao made Wang Mingbao a pot of tea .
"I came to see my grandparents and am going to stay tonight," said Wang Mingbao . Wang Mingbao hadn't sold his old house in the village . His grandparents sometimes went to his old house to tidy things up . Wang Mingbao went there once every week or two weeks .
"You don't look happy . What's going on?" asked Wang Yao as Wang Mingbao looked a bit upset .
"Well, my dad wants me to marry some girl," said Wang Mingbao .
"Haha, that's a good thing!" Wang Yao laughed .
"No good!" Wang Mingbao took a sip of the tea . "I've seen that girl . I don't like her . "
"Why didn't you just decline?" asked Wang Yao .
"She's my dad's old friend's daughter . It is hard for me to decline . " Wang Mingbao took two long pulls of his cigarette .

"Has your dad mentioned it to you before?" asked Wang Yao .
"I think so," said Wang Mingbao .
"I guess your dad didn't make the decision of you marrying her until he became the mayor of the town," said Wang Yao with a smile . "And that girl's dad shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?"
"No, he's the chief of some bureau," said Wang Mingbao .
Perfect match .
Wang Yao thought about the phrase .
"What does that girl think of you?" asked Wang Yao .
"She seems to like me," said Wang Mingbao after thinking for a moment .
Wang Mingbao was very tall, strong, and masculine . Some girls were really into men like him . In addition, Wang Mingbao was from a decent family and had his own business . Most normal girls would still be interested in him .
"It's simple, just make that girl dislike you," said Wang Yao .
"How am I going to make her dislike me?" Wang Mingbao's eyes lit up .
"Don't tell me you need me to teach you how to make a girl dislike you . You should have more experience with girls than me . In addition, marriage is a very serious thing; you could be with the person for the rest of your life . I think you should tell your dad your thoughts," suggested Wang Yao .
Making a match by your parents' orders or a match-maker's advice was really out of date!
"Okay, I just wanted to vent . Now I feel much better . Gotta go," said Wang Mingbao .
"I've got to go, too . Gotta go back to Nanshan hill," said Wang Yao .
The two of them went out together .
Before they separated, Wang Mingbao stopped and took a look at Nanshan hill in the dark .
"Are you really not scared walking back alone?" It was not the first time Wang Mingbao asked this question .
"Why should I be scared? I think the view of Nanshan hill in the dark is very pretty," said Wang Yao .
"Pretty? Are you kidding me?" said Wang Mingbao .
"Look, the stars are high and far . " Wang Yao pointed at the sky . "The hill is so quiet and peaceful, and the wind is soft . " He then pointed at the hill . "Every bit of the hill is pretty; don't you think so?"

"No!" said Wang Mingbao with a smile . He really couldn't understand why on earth his best friend would find Nanshan hill was pretty .
"Gotta go," said Wang Yao .
"Take care, see you!" said Wang Mingbao .
He went down a road which led to his old house . Wang Yao followed the road in the middle of the village and reached the south side of the village . The concrete gradually became mud and sand . As Wang Yao continued to walk, the path started to become winding . He turned his head to have another look at his village . The lights in the houses were still on, and he could still hear people talking in some houses nearby .
Wang Yao suddenly sped up; the dust was flying around him .
The wind was whispering into his ears .
Wang Yao walked extremely fast on the winding pathway up the hill as though he were walking on flat land . He could see things around him clearly in the dark as though it were daylight .
His body was light, and he didn't slow down when walking up the hill . Soon, he had arrived at his cottage .
San Xian had heard his footsteps already . He was waiting for Wang Yao outside the cottage .
"Hi, San Xian!" said Wang Yao .
He turned the light on in the cottage . Suddenly, there was a yellow dot of light on the dark hill .
He started to read scriptures out loud . His voice went away far with the wind in the quiet night .
It was nice and sunny the next morning .
Wang Yao had a simple breakfast after finishing his breathing exercises . Then, he started to brew Blood Deblocking decoction .
He had ancient spring water, a multifunctional pot, firewood, and herbs ready . He then started a fire which made cracking sounds .
Wang Yao picked up a piece of polygonum vine, which was as black as iron and extremely strong . He put it inside the water . The polygonum vine wouldn't become soft even it was cooked for a long time .
The ancient spring water was boiling . Wang Yao was in no hurry . He added firewood into the fire from time to time and observed the changes of the liquid .
As time passed by, the polygonum vine eventually started to change and became soft . Its color also became lighter, as it slowly melted into the decoction . The color of the decoction also changed to dark brown, like coffee .
Wang Yao added more firewood into the fire to keep the water boiling .
The polygonum vine is as strong as iron, so it was put into the water first .
When the polygonum vine almost melted into the decoction, Wang Yao started to add other herbs into the decoction .
Ephedra, angelica, sealwort . . . Wang Yao added each herb into the decoction .

Ziyu had purple spots on its leaves, like purple rain . Guiyuan could glue the effects of all the herbs together in the decoction .
The decoction eventually became fuchsia and had a unique smell .
Done!
Wang Yao removed the pot from the fire and poured it into a porcelain bottle after it had cooled down .
I should ask Zhou Xiong and his son to come here this afternoon .
After Wang Yao had tidied up the room, he called Zhou Xiong to ask him to take Zhou Wukang to Nanshan hill in the afternoon .
As soon as Wang Yao returned to Nanshan hill after lunch, Zhou Xiong and Zhou Wukang came to see him .
"Hello, Dr . Wang," said Zhou Xiong .
"Hello, Uncle Wang," said Zhou Wukang .
"Hello, please come in," said Wang Yao .
After Zhou Xiong and Zhou Wukang stayed in the cottage for a short while, Wang Yao took out the Blood Deblocking decoction and poured some into a small cup .
"Drink it," said Wang Yao .
"Sure . " Zhou Wukang took the cup and drank the decoction up .
After he had taken the decoction, Wang Yao started to massage him straight away . He massaged his torso first, focusing on the left side as his left arm was affected . He then massaged Zhou Wukang's left arm .
Zhou Wukang's left arm soon became red .
"How do you feel?" asked Wang Yao .
"I feel warm in my left arm, and something inside seems to be moving," said Zhou Wukang .
"I see . " Wang Yao continued to massage his left arm following the meridians .
After a while, Wang Yao checked Zhou Wukang's pulse . Then, he continued to massage Zhou Wukang's arm . He repeated the process several times . Zhou Xiong stood next to his son watching him being treated anxiously, as Zhou Wukang was sweating on his forehead and his left arm became red . Zhou Xiong couldn't do anything to help his son . He kept wringing his hands .
"Are you in pain?" asked Wang Yao .
"Just a little bit . " Zhou Wukang nodded .
"Let's take a break then," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao stopped the massage .
Sometimes, pain was a good thing because it indicated that Zhou Wukang still had some feelings in his left arm . It was not completely dead .
After several hours of treatment, it was sunset already .
"Done! You can take him back to rest . He will probably still feel pain in his left arm, but don't use painkillers, just apply ice pack on his arm," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao hadn't given all the decoction to Zhou Xiong and his son . He wanted to wait for a few days to see whether it worked .
"Thank you, Dr . Wang," said Zhou Xiong .
"Thank you, Uncle Wang," said Zhou Wukang .
Zhou Xiong and his son thanked Wang Yao sincerely .
"Bring him back in two days," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Zhou Xiong .
Wang Yao documented the treatment session after Zhou Xiong and Zhou Wukang had left .
"Kang, how do you feel?" Zhou Xiong was a bit worried about his son after they had left Nanshan hill .
"Dad, I feel warm in my left arm, and something seems to be drilling in my arm," said Zhou Wukang .
"Drilling?" asked Zhou Xiong .
"Yes," said Zhou Wukang .
"Is it painful?" asked Zhou Xiong .
"Just a little bit, but I can put up with it," said Zhou Wukang .
"Good boy . " Zhou Xiong touched his son's head gently .
"I hope the treatment is going to work," said Zhou Wukang .
It will work, thought Zhou Xiong .
Wang Yao was looking at his herbal field through the window . The formula provided by the system contained three licorice roots . It would be surprising if the formula didn't work .
Suddenly, Wang Yao's phone started to ring . Wang Yao took out his phone and found Pan Jun's name on it .
