Wang Yao didn’t say anything .

A patient like her wouldn’t get better if she continued to take prescriptions while disregarding instructions .
It would be a waste of time to treat someone who wouldn’t take a doctor’s advice seriously .
“Well, I have to go now . ” The middle-aged woman sat for a moment . Then she stood up as Wang Yao kept silent .
“I’m so sorry, bye for now . ” Zhang Xiuying walked the woman out of the house . Wang Yao just shook his head .
“Hey, what’s wrong with you?” said Zhang Xiuying after the woman had left . “She’s much older than you, and from the same village . Why do you have to be so rude!”
“I was telling her the truth, Mom . I’ve given her herbs which definitely works . But she has to stop eating fish . She didn’t take my words seriously . Why should I waste my herbs?” said Wang Yao calmly .
“We are all from the same village and we bump into one another all the time . I don’t want to jeopardize our relationship with any of the other villagers here,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I see, Mom . It won’t happen again,” said Wang Yao .
He would try to stay away from people like that middle-aged woman .
“What? He refused to prescribe more herbs? Why?” asked the middle-aged woman’s daughter after her mother had told her what had happened .
“He said I didn’t take his advice seriously, so there is no point to continue to take any medication,” said the middle-aged woman .
“Have you promised him not to eat any fish from now on?” asked her daughter .
“No, never mind . Who cares . ” That middle-aged woman shook her hand . She was still upset about Wang Yao .
In her opinion, they were all from the same village, and she was much older than Wang Yao . She didn’t expect Wang Yao to show no respect to her .
“He thinks he’s so capable . You didn’t see how bad-tempered he was!” She was apparently not happy with Wang Yao .
When having dinner, Wang Yao mentioned the property sales in the village .
“Dad, do you know if anyone in the village wants to sell his or her house?” asked Wang Yao .
“Hmmm, why do you ask this?” asked Wang Fenghua .
“Oh, one of my friends said our village is a nice place . The air is so fresh here . He asked me if anyone in the village wants to sell their house . He wants to buy a holiday house,” said Wang Yao .
“I’m not sure . I’ll ask for you,” said Wang Fenghua .
“Okay, thanks,” said Wang Yao .
He didn’t need to get an immediate response anyway . He didn’t know whether Wei Hai and his other friends were serious about buying a house in his village .
After dinner, Wang Yao spent some time with his family watching TV and chatting .
“I haven’t seen Tong Wei for some time,” Zhang Xiuying said, mentioning her future daughter-in-law .
“Yes, she’s been really busy lately,” said Wang Yao . He just talked to Tong Wei on the phone yesterday .
“Do you have any plans for your wedding?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Well, I haven’t gotten a response from Tong Wei yet,” said Wang Yao . Actually, it was him hesitating .

“Hey, are you having second thoughts?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Of course not,” said Wang Yao .
“She’s a nice girl . You shouldn’t be hesitating,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I know,” said Wang Yao .
After successfully changing the topic, Wang Yao gave each of his parents a massage before going back to Nanshan Hill .
It was cold and windy outside .
Wang Yao exhaled a breath .
His breath became foggy .
“Ah! Ew!”
Suddenly Wang Yao heard a noise . Looking towards the noise, he found a person vomiting under a big tree opposite the river . Wang Yao could even smell the alcohol from the other side of the river .
Someone’s drank too much!
He took another look, then continued to walk towards Nanshan Hill . That person was still vomiting .
After he had gone back to Nanshan Hill, he double checked the herbs he prepared during the day . He was going to brew the decoction the next day, so he needed to make sure everything was fine . He thought about the decoction for a while before going to sleep .
It was a quiet and peaceful night .
The sun came out as usual the next morning .
Wang Yao went to get some firewood, ancient spring water, and his multifunctional herb pot .
He had all the licorice roots ready and started to brew the decoction .
He chose to brew the decoction in the morning because it was the most vibrant time of the day . The sun had just come out, and the Spirit Gathering Battle Array was full of aura .
Timing was important when brewing a decoction .
Crackle! The wood was on fire .
Cizhan, ganoderma, pear grass…
Wang Yao put the herbs into the pot one by one . A majority of the herbs were licorice roots .
At the moment, Wang Yao was like an artist, carefully working on his masterpiece . He took his time . He was in no hurry .
The sun slowly moved to the middle of the sky .
The Yang energy became stronger .
“Done!”
He moved the multifunctional herb pot away from the fire to allow it to cool down . He filtered out the dregs, then poured the decoction into a white porcelain bottle .

Hoa!
Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky .
It was noon .
Wang Yao packed things up and then went home for lunch .
“What? Someone just died?!”
He got the news from Zhang Xiuying as soon as he stepped into the house .
“Yes . It was Wang Congming from the west side of the village . He drank too much last night . After going to the toilet, he collapsed in the courtyard . He never got up again . I heard he had a heart attack,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Last night, drunk .
Wang Yao thought about the vomiting man who held onto a tree he saw on his way to Nanshan Hill .
I hope it was not him!
Unexpected things were happening all the time . A person could be fine one second but passed away the next second .
“What a shame! He was a nice person . He just really liked drinking,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“It is such a shame!” said Wang Yao .
If he had gone to check the person, the person would have probably survived .
It was his destiny .
Meanwhile, the doctor from Lianshan town hospital was talking to Li Maoshuang’s uncle and his family .
“I’ve told you, given his current condition, there is no point to continue to stay in the hospital . I suggest you to take him home . Let him go peacefully at home,” said the doctor .
He was trying to convince the family members .
Li Maoshuang’s uncle had late stage cancer . No doctor from any hospital could save him . The only difference a doctor could make was to prolong his life .
“Thank you, doctor . Could you give us some time to think about it?” asked Li Maoshuang’s cousin .
“Okay, but don’t take too long . There is a waiting list for hospital beds,” said the doctor .
Then he left the room .
The doctors didn’t want their patients to die in the hospital, because it would seem like they hadn’t tried their best to save the patients . Even though they were exempted from the responsibility when a patient died, their reputation would be affected .
“Maybe we should take your dad home,” said another cousin .
“Shall we wait for one more day . I think our dad looks better today,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
Wang Yao drove to Li Maoshuang’s place in town after lunch .
“These are the herbs you asked me to get . What do you think of the decoction I brewed?” asked Li Maoshuang .

As soon as he saw Wang Yao, he took out an herb jar for Wang Yao to check the content inside .
“Not bad,” said Wang Yao .
Actually, he didn’t think the decoction was well-brewed . However, not everyone had extraordinary skills to brew decoctions like him .
“I’ve also brewed a decoction for your uncle . Shall we go to the hospital?” suggested Wang Yao .
“Now?” Li Maoshuang was hesitated .
It was past 1 pm .
“Yes, we could wait, but your uncle probably can’t,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, let’s go,” said Li Maoshuang .
Wang Yao drove Li Maoshuang to the town hospital . Li Maoshuang’s uncle’s children were talking about whether their father should be discharged .
“Hi, Maoshuang, why did you come this time of the day?” asked Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
“Dr . Wang has brewed a decoction for Uncle,” said Li Maoshuang .
“Oh . ” His cousin didn’t sound too keen on the idea .
After all, no medication could cure cancer, let alone some herbal decoction .
“Shall we give it Uncle to try?” asked Li Maoshuang .
“Okay,” said his cousin, who didn’t think anything worse could happen to his father .
Wang Yao poured the decoction he brewed in the morning into a small cup for the old man to take . Then he gave the old man part of the decoction Li Maoshuang brewed .
After the old man had taken the decoctions, Wang Yao sat next to him for nearly one hour to keep an eye on him .
According to the old man’s pulse, Wang Yao believed he was on the right track . The decoctions he and Li Maoshuang brewed both worked .
“Good, he’s stable now . Let’s call it a day . I will come back tomorrow,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao left first . Li Maoshuang was asked to stay .
“What’s going on?” asked Li Maoshuang .
“Is that doctor reliable?” asked Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
“Yes, of course . As far as I know, he has cured many people with difficult-to-treat conditions . He also went to treat those prestigious people in Beijing . I was cured by him,” said Li Maoshuang .
“I see . I just think he’s too young,” said his eldest cousin .
“He’s a really good doctor,” said Li Maoshuang .
He could tell that his eldest cousin had doubts about Wang Yao . He didn’t know what he could do to make his cousin believe in Wang Yao . Since his uncle was dying, it only mattered how long he would last . So, they had nothing to lose . At least they’ve tried their best to save the old man’s life . Even Wang Yao could just make the old man feel better .
“I have to go now . Let me know if you need me,” said Li Maoshuang .
“Okay,” said his eldest cousin .
After Li Maoshuang had left, only his uncle’s children were in the room .
“Is that young doctor reliable?” asked one of Li Maoshuang’s cousins .
“Let him try,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin .
He and his siblings sat next to the hospital bed . They were scared that their dad would die anytime .
The atmosphere in the room was depressing .
“Water…”
The old man opened his eyes and spoke softly . His voice was weak and hoarse .
“Dad, you are awake!” His daughter startled and came to the bed immediately .
“Water,” repeated the old man .
“Okay, I’ll fetch you some water,” said his daughter .
She went to fetch some warm water for her father .
“How do you feel?” asked the old man’s daughter .
“Aye!” The old man sighed .
She only asked for her peace of mind . She knew it was impossible for her father to feel well .
“I feel a little bit better,” said the old man .
He did feel better . It seemed that he had gained some of his strength back .
“That’s good,” said his daughter .
At this stage, all his children could only try to satisfy all their father’s needs . There were not much they could do .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao had returned to his village .
He went right back to his clinic and documented the treatment session he had for the old man . These were valuable first-hand experiences, which could be used as a reference in the future .
How long will he last? How much change can I make?
The next day, a group of building contractors came to the village to demolish the two old houses . They removed the construction waste out of the village at the end of the day .
Sun Zhengrong and his son also came to the village .
Sun Yunsheng was getting better . The majority of the heat toxin had been removed, thanks to Wang Yao’s herbs and the Qi therapy .
