“Let’s find a place to stay overnight,” suggested Wang Mingbao .
They found a motel, and they planned to check in, stay overnight, and get back on road the next morning .
According to traffic laws, large loading trucks and buses were not allowed to be on the highway after certain time at night . Therefore, there were quite a few people in the resting area Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao picked .
After they had parked their vehicle, they checked in a motel .
It was very windy at night .
The temperature had dropped a lot by the next morning .
“Hmmm, it’s getting cold,” said Wang Mingbao .
They got back on road after having breakfast at the resting area .
The vehicle was travelling very fast on the highway, like a puma .
“That old bastard!” Wang Mingbao searched Long Yunfei on Baidu while playing with his phone .
The news related to Long Yunfei all reported that he acted as a good leader in controlling the contagious disease, established an effective strategy to control the disease, and created a formula to treat it .
“He even applied for patent for that formula . What a shameless bastard!” Wang Mingbao became increasingly angry as he read the news . “Are you just gonna let him off the hook?”
“No way, not possible,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
“Why is this happening to me!?” shouted Long Yunfei in a thick voice . i
“According to the examination results, no health issue has been detected,” said a doctor .
“But why can’t I control my body?” Long Yunfei tried to walk this morning, but his legs were out of control again after walking only 20 steps . One second he could control his body, the next second he completely lost control . It was too weird .
“Well, it could be some sort of behavior disorder,” said the doctor .
“What do you mean by behavior disorder?” asked Long Yunfei .
“Dr . Long, you know, even the medical technology is very advanced now, there are still some diseases cannot be detected,” said the doctor .
What he said was true . For example, someone who suffered from a headache might not be able to get a diagnosis even after being thoroughly checked .
“What can I do then?” Long Yunfei didn’t know what to do . “Shall I go to Beijing?”
“I have a suggestion,” said the doctor .
“What suggestions?” asked Long Yunfei .
“You can go to see a Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner,” said the doctor .
“Try Chinese Traditional Medicine?” said Long Yunfei .
“Yes . I have come across similar situations before . Western medicine couldn’t do anything for me while their symptoms truly existed . So I recommended they see a Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner, who eventually cured them,” said the doctor .
Long Yunfei didn’t respond immediately .
“Are you worried about that doctor? Don’t worry . He’s been transferred to another hospital . Otherwise, you can go to a hospital that specializes in Chinese Traditional Medicine,” said the doctor .
“Okay, I’ll try it . Thank you,” said Long Yunfei .
“You are welcome,” said the doctor .
Long Yunfei decided to go to see the Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner in the provincial hospital .
“Hello, Dr . Long,” greeted the Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner working for the provincial hospital . “What happened to you?”
They didn’t expect Long Yunfei to be in a wheelchair .
After the Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner had seen him, a conclusion was made that Long Yunfei was, in fact, sick; he clearly had issues at his waist and abdominal area . However, the practitioner couldn’t tell what exactly wrong with him and what was the cause .
“My blood and Qi are not running smoothly at my waist and abdominal area?” Long Yunfei didn’t feel well after being told the conclusion . Although he was an experienced doctor in western medicine, it didn’t mean that he knew Chinese medicine .
Blocked blood flow and Qi will cause my legs lose control?
Is this some kind of joke? I’m a medical professional . Can’t you guys come up with something more convincing?
Long Yunfei was not convinced .
“This is what I suspect . ” The practitioner had probably noticed that Long Yunfei was not convinced by his diagnosis, so he just told Long Yunfei what he thought . As a medical practitioner, it was not nice to be doubted of his clinical skills, so he sounded a bit grumpy .
“I see . Thanks . ” Long Yunfei was also not happy . He left the clinical room with his assistant .
“Grumpy old man, even in a wheelchair!” said the Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner in disgust after Long Yunfei had left .
“What’s wrong with him?” asked the practitioner’s colleague .
“Honestly, I don’t know,” said the practitioner .
It suddenly occurred to the practitioner that a bit of blocked blood flow and Qi shouldn’t have made Long Yunfei end up in a wheelchair .
Other than the blood flow and Qi, maybe he also has problem with his meridians .
The practitioner thought of something .
“By the way, why did he leave here in the first place?” asked the practitioner .
“It’s a long story,” said his colleague .
“Tell me,” said the practitioner .
“Okay,” said his colleague .
On Wang Yao’s way back home, he received a call from Tong Wei . Then he decided to go to Dao City on his way back .
“Is everything going alright with Tong Wei?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Yes, She said she missed me, so wanted me to meet her in Dao City,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
“Oh, I see, I miss Han Jia now,” said Wang Mingbao .
“Do you wanna go back to the village?” joked Wang Yao .
“Not really,” said Wang Mingbao, smiling .
It was late afternoon by the time they had arrived at Dao City .
“I’ll spend the night at Tong Wei’s place, how about you?” asked Wang Yao .
“Me? I’ll find a hotel,” said Wang Mingbao . “I don’t want to disturb you two . ”
After receiving a call from Wang Yao, Tong Wei left her workplace early to meet Wang Yao .
They picked a restaurant near the beach and chose a private room with an ocean view . Wang Yao ordered a few nice dishes .
Wang Yao told Tong Wei about his trip to Qinzhou .
“Are the kids okay?” asked Tong Wei .
“Yeah, all good now,” said Wang Yao .
“How about that Dr . Long?” asked Tong Wei .
“He is not doing very well . He’s probably trying to get his problem fixed,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
“Is that village really poor?” asked Tong Wei .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao, “Those poor kids had a rough time there . ”
“We should try to help them,” said Tong Wei .
“I’ll think about it,” said Wang Yao . His eyes suddenly lightened up, “I have an idea . ”
“What is it?” asked Tong Wei .
“No hurry, I’ll let you know when the time comes,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
After dinner, the two of them had a walk at the beach . It was late autumn . In less than half a month, most areas in North China would start to get colder . It was actually quite cold on the beach .
The wind messed up Tong Wei’s hair .
Wang Yao and Tong Wei walked quietly .
“Are you cold?” asked Wang Yao .
“A little bit,” said Tong Wei .
Wang Yao took off his jacket and put it on Tong Wei’s shoulder .
“We have a new manager now,” said Tong Wei .
“So?” asked Wang Yao .
“He’s a frenchman with bad temper,” said Tong Wei .
“Has he caused any trouble to you?” asked Wang Yao .
“Not really, but I’ve worked with him several times . He’s very strict and picky,” said Tong Wei .
“You don’t like it?” asked Wang Yao .
“Not really,” said Tong Wei .
“You don’t have to work if you don’t want to . You have me,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
Tong Wei stopped and looked at Wang Yao . Her eyes were soft and full of love .
Wang Yao smiled .
“I won’t quit!” said Tong Wei playfully . She pouted .
“Haha,” laughed Wang Yao .
“Shall we go back?” asked Tong Wei .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
It was very cold and windy overnight, and became frosty the next morning .
Tong Wei wanted to take a day off, but she had to deal with some urgent matters at work . Wang Yao took the chance to visit Sun Zhengrong . He wanted to see how Sun Yunsheng was .
Sun Zhengrong had been waiting for Wang Yao after receiving a phone call from Wang Yao .
“Hello, Dr . Wang, welcome,” said Sun Zhengrong .
“Hello, Mr . Sun,” said Wang Yao .
After greeting to each other, Wang Yao went upstairs right away .
Sun Yunsheng was practicing meditation .
“Hello, Dr . Wang!” He didn’t expect Wang Yao to come .
“Hello, Yunsheng, you look well, and sound strong, too,” said Wang Yao .
He observed Sun Yunsheng and paid attention to his voice, so he knew Sun Yunsheng had been recovering well .
“Yes, I’ve been feeling well lately . Although sometimes I still feel hot and restless, I have been able to control the heat with my will,” said Sun Yunsheng .
It was like he had been given a new life, thanks to Wang Yao, a doctor who was as young as him .
“Let me take a look at you,” said Wang Yao .
He checked Sun Yunsheng’s pulse .
“The heat poison is still inside your body, deep inside your organs,” said Wang Yao .
Then he asked Sun Yunsheng to take off his clothes so that he could provide Qi therapy to Sun Yunsheng . Wang Yao extracted part of the heat poison out of Sun Yunsheng’s body .
After Wang Yao had finished the therapy session, Sun Yunsheng’s back was red, as if he was whipped .
“It’s a shame that I haven’t brought any herbs with me,” said Wang Yao .
After he had finished treating Sun Yunsheng, he talked with Sun Zhengrong and Sun Yunsheng in the living room for a short while .
“Did you go to Qinzhou?” asked Sun Zhengrong .
“Yes, I just got this rare chance to visit a village there . ” Wang Yao told Sun Zhengrong and his son about his trip to Qinzhou briefly .
“The village is very poor?” asked Sun Zhengrong .
“Yes, the children still wear very shabby clothes,” said Wang Yao .
“My company is running a program supporting poor students . I can probably help them,” said Sun Zhengrong .
He was a very successful businessman, and had started to consider contributing to the community . Frankly speaking, the government had allowed him to make so much money, he felt he should offer some assistance to those who were in need . As a billionaire, it was not nice to be too stingy to help others .
“Great! That’s really great!” said Wang Yao .
“Write down the address of the village for me . I’ll arrange someone to get on it right away,” said Sun Zhengrong .
“Okay . ” Wang Yao wrote down the address of the village, along with the contact details of the secretary of the village .
“I appreciate your help on the behalf of those kids,” said Wang Yao .
“You are welcome . It’s nothing,” said Sun Zhengrong .
It was nothing for him, but was big deal for those kids in the village . Even he just bought some books and clothes for them .
“I have to go now . Come to my clinic if you have time,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Sun Zhengrong .
He and his son walked Wang Yao out of the house . Then Sun Zhengrong asked one of his employees to arrange a trip to the village right away . He wanted to find out what assistance the village required most .
Wang Yao was also considering donating on his way back home . He had also considered buying stuff for the villagers .
He and Wang Mingbao stayed at Dao City for one more day before leaving for their own village .
“Why not stay here for a few more days?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“No need . I’ve seen everyone I needed to see and arranged everything . I can come back whenever I want,” said Wang Yao .
“Hmmm, you are right,” said Wang Yao .
Dao City was not that far from Lianshan, unlike Jia County, which was thousands of miles away .
They left Dao City in the morning . By the time they had arrived at Lianshan, it was afternoon . Wang Yao drove Wang Mingbao to his store before driving home . When he arrived at home, his mother was cooking .
“Mom, I’m back,” shouted Wang Yao .
“Finally you’re home!” Zhang Xiuying put down the chopper and came out .
A mother was always worried about her child when he was thousands of miles away from home, even just for a few days . Zhang Xiuying had been missing her son very much .
“What’s in your hands?” She noticed that Wang Yao was carrying two big bags .
