"Hello," said Chen Boyuan on the phone, "Dr . Wang, are you home today? Can I visit you?"
"Sorry, I'm not available today," said Wang Yao .
"When are you available then?" asked Chen Boyuan .
"I'm not sure," said Wang Yao . "Are you in Haiqu?"
"Yes, I just got off the plane," said Chen Boyuan .
"I will let you know when I'm available," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Chen Boyuan before hanging up .
It seemed that he had already known Wang Yao's answer, so he didn't sound too disappointed . Chen Boyuan carried his luggage and found a place in Haiqu to settle down .
. . .
Inside a shop of Lianshan, a man was coughing hard .
Cough! Cough! Cough! Ugh!
The man was on the toilet . He faced the toilet and a mouthful of blood came out and dropped inside the toilet . The blood was thick .
He looked really bad . His face was pale and full of large drops of sweat . He bent down because he was in great pain .
What the hell!
He was clenching his teeth and fists . His body was shaking . He tried his best to put up with the pain .
Damn it! How come it is so painful this time!
This man was Wei Hai . He had taken several doses of Deworming powder given by Wang Yao . Every time the toxin inside his body was expelled like this . Every time he was in great pain . Because he had experienced similar pain before, he thought the pain was temporary and was good for him in a long run . He didn't expect the pain to become even worse after he had taken the Deworming powder after lunch . He was in such bad pain that he couldn't stop turning in his bed and he almost passed out .

After a while, he became extremely weak .
No! I can't put up with the pain anymore! He didn't feel good and didn't want to continue being like this . So, he called Wang Yao .
Wei Hai?
As soon as Wang Yao saw Wei Hai's number showing up on his phone, he knew something was happening .
"Hello, Hai?" said Wang Yao .
"Hello, Dr . Wang . The pain in my belly is so bad today . I think something went wrong . " Wei Hai was in such great pain that he almost dropped his phone .
"Where are you?" asked Wang Yao anxiously .
"In my tea shop," said Wei Hai .
"Stay there, I'll come to you now," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Wei Hai .
After hanging up, Wang Yao took an umbrella and rushed out of the cottage . He went into the rain and ran downhill .
"San Xian, watch the place!" Wang Yao shouted to San Xian before he left .
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Wang Yao went to get his car, and he drove really fast to Lianshan town center . It was about life and death, so he didn't dare to delay or hesitate . Fortunately, there were not many cars on the road due to the rain, and it was Wang Yao's first time speeding .
Wang Yao arrived at Lianshan town center after 20 minutes and parked his car outside Wei Hai's tea shop . The sign of "closed" was still at the entrance .
Wei Hai bought the tea shop because he wanted to have a place to stay in Lianshan . It would be convenient for him to stay in Lianshan as he had to see Wang Yao regularly . He planned to make the shop his residence after he got better . As for selling teas, Wei Hai was not very keen . He just liked drinking tea . He had got himself quite a lot of high-quality teas .
Wei Hai was lying in bed when Wang Yao opened the door . He looked pale, and his breath was shallow and weak . He looked like someone who had just been saved from drowning .

Wang Yao didn't say much . He went straight to Wei Hai to check his pulse .
Wei Hai's internal organs were damaged, especially the liver .
How come?
"How much of the decoctions have you taken?" asked Wang Yao .
"A glass of the decoction each time, three times a day, I've been following your instructions," said Wei Hai softly .
Maybe the dose was not right? Going beyond the limit was as bad as falling short . Or should I wait for him to vomit more toxins before enhancing his immune system?
Wang Yao's hand was still on Wei Hai's pulse .
"From now on you just take half a glass of the decoction each time, and double the interval of two doses . " Wang Yao made a decision after thinking for a while .
Better safe than sorry . It was too risky to let him to continue to vomit . His health is the priority .
"Okay," said Wei Hai .
"Just one second . "
Wang Yao went out and came back shortly with several items in his hands . He brought a clay pot and a pack of herbs .
He just bought the clay pot in a shop nearby . As for the herbs, he took them out of the system . But he couldn't take them out in front of Wei Hai like a magician . That would only confuse Wei Hai . He would think that he was so ill that he started to hallucinate .
"Do you have gas here?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes, behind the kitchen," said Wei Hai .
"You stay here; I'll go by myself," said Wang Yao .
After a short while, Wei Hai noticed a unique smell of herbs .
Decoctions cooked with gas won't be the most effective, and tap water is not ideal for brewing the decoction . As for the clay pot . . .

None of those were suitable to brew a decoction in Wang Yao's opinion . If he were not in such a hurry, he would never use those things to brew a decoction .
Wang Yao added sealwort, licorice, matrimony vine and glossy ganoderma into the boiling water . The decoction Wang Yao was brewing was to enhance Wei Hai's physical function . He just didn't add any licorice roots to it .
The water was boiling, and all the herbs were added into the water following a special order . Although the condition of brewing a decoction here couldn't compare to the condition on Nanshan hill, Wang Yao was very focused and serious . The order of adding different herbs into the water was based on how long it would take for each herb to melt into the water .
Done!
By the time Wang Yao took the decoction out of the kitchen, it was dark outside .
"Drink it while it is still warm," said Wang Yao .
"Sure," said Wei Hai .
He supported himself up and drank up the decoction Wang Yao gave him .
"Well, I feel much better," said Wei Hai in relief . "I thought I was going to die .
"Sorry, the dose I prescribed previously was too strong . Have you had similar experiences when you took the decoction previously?" asked Wang Yao . If it was Wei Hai's first time experiencing such pain, then Wang Yao would have to think of a possible reason because a strong dosage can't have been the only cause .
"Yes, the pain was bad from the very beginning . I just try to put up with it," said Wei Hai .
"Were there any other symptoms other than pain?" asked Wang Yao . Wei Hai's answer basically confirmed Wang Yao's thoughts .
"I vomited and passed out more blood than the first time you treated me," replied Wei Hai after thinking for a moment .
"I see; I know the reason now . It should be because I increased the dosage . Continue to take the decoction as I told you . If you still experience strong pain, continue to reduce the dosage by half," said Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Wei Hai .
"I have a formula for you . Get yourself herbs according to the formula and brew the decoction yourself . It will help you recover . Don't give the formula to anyone . " Wang Yao wrote down the formula he just obtained from the system on a piece of paper and left it on the table .
"Try to use good quality herbs . I suggest you get your herbs from Li Maoshuang," said Wang Yao .
Wei Hai knew Li Maoshuang . They occasionally contacted each other and were considered friends . They also helped each other sometimes .
"Okay," said Wei Hai .
"How about the decoction? Do you want me to brew it myself?" asked Wei Hai .
"You can brew the decoction yourself, or get someone to do it for you in a clinic . Ask someone in a clinic to brew the decoction for you at the beginning, but I strongly suggest that you should learn to brew it yourself . It will benefit you anyway," said Wang Yao with a smile .
"Sure," said Wei Hai .
"Lie down and rest for a while . You still look bad," said Wang Yao .
Wei Hai went back to lie on his chair and covered himself with a thin blanket . Maybe it was because he just had some medicine, but his face had become slightly red .
"Well, it is so hard to live!" Wei Hai suddenly made such a comment out of the blue .
"Why do you say that?" asked Wang Yao with a smile .
"I don't know . Well, I've got some nice tea here . Help yourself . " Wei Hai pointed at the tea table next to him . "I've got Huang Shan Mao Feng green tea, Biluochun tea, Dongting Oolong tea, and Wuyi rock tea . "
"Okay . " Wang Yao just picked one tea randomly and made himself a cup of tea before sitting down .
"I come from a poor family . I have four siblings . Because my family was so poor, my parents couldn't even feed us properly . I started to work in the fish market since I was a teenager . After I had saved up some money, I started to sell seafood . I worked very hard in order to make more money and have a decent life . My business started to grow bigger, and I made more and more money out of it . I have also made quite a few friends through my business . We used to party together all the time . We ate a lot of fish and meat, and a lot of delicacies . We used to drink all sorts of boutique wines . We had a great time together . However, I became so ill afterwards . My health had been deteriorating until I met you . I thought that as long as I could live, I would rather live on vegetables and cereals . What would money do for me if I lost my life?" said Wei Hai .
Wang Yao held his cup of tea while listening to Wei Hai talking about his life .
"Now I look back, I'm only in my 40's and have experienced so many ups and downs in my life!" said Wei Hai .
"Yes, but life is not supposed to be smooth anyway," said Wang Yao .
"Now I am increasingly envy you!" said Wei Hai .
"Me?" said Wang Yao .
"Yes, you live on that quiet hill being surrounded by all the trees and flowers . You don't have worries and concerns . You live like a recluse," said Wei Hai .
"When you get better, you can have the same lifestyle," said Wang Yao .
