“Yes, because my uncle got better today,” said Li Maoshuang .
“That’s good,” said Wang Yao .
“And it’s all thanks to you,” said Li Maoshuang .
“Haha,” laughed Wang Yao . He understood what Li Maoshuang meant .
“What did the doctors say? Have they mentioned discharging him again?” asked Wang Yao .
“No . I haven’t heard anything about him being discharged . I don’t think they will try to force us to bring Uncle home at this stage,” said Li Maoshuang .
“Good . Is there anything else you need me to do? If not, I’m leaving for my sister’s workplace,” said Wang Yao .
“Oh, yes, how much does the treatment cost?” asked Li Maoshuang .
He heard it from Wei Hai and Tian Yuantu that Wang Yao’s decoctions were unique and very expensive .
“Don’t worry about the cost for now,” said Wang Yao after thinking it over for a moment .
He had no idea how much he should charge Li Maoshuang’s uncle for the decoction .
The decoction contained a number of invaluable licorice roots .
It was used to treat cancer, which was one of the worst illnesses one could have .
“Okay . ” Li Maoshuang didn’t insist .
Wang Yao drove to his sister’s workplace after leaving the hospital .
“Ok, I have a task from Mom,” murmured Wang Yao .
He needed to investigate his future brother-in-law .
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yao decided to pay Wang Mingbao a visit first .
“Hi, how are you doing these days? Why are you in town so often? Has Tong Wei come back?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“No,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Mingbao made Wang Yao a cup of tea .
“When are you going to visit Jia County again?” asked Wang Yao .
“I’m not sure . Miss Han took a week off,” said Wang Mingbao .
“Really? For what?” asked Wang Yao .
“I don’t know . She was not keen to talk about it . It seems that someone in her family is getting married and needs her help . Maybe she’s got other things to do,” said Wang Mingbao .
“I see . Do you know anyone in the Department of Education?” asked Wang Yao .
“Not in the Department of Education . Why do you ask?” said Wang Mingbao .

“Well, I need your help in investigating someone,” said Wang Yao .
“Who is it?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“A person who will potentially become my brother-in-law,” said Wang Yao .
“Your sister’s boyfriend? Why do you want to investigate him?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Because I want to know what kind of person he is . After all, he’s dating my sister,” said Wang Yao .
“This is easy . I can ask one of my friends to check up on him . Leave it to me . By the way, what’s his name?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“His name is Du Mingyang . By the way, don’t let him find out,” said Wang Yao .
“No problem . This is not my first time doing such a thing,” said Wang Mingbao, smiling .
“Oh, and another thing,” said Wang Yao .
“What?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Have you ever heard of any new plans for our village?” said Wang Yao .
“What do you mean by plans?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Urban planning . Like fixing roads, building houses,” said Wang Yao .
“No . Our village is surrounded by hills . There are no resources . Even if the local government wanted to upgrade the roads, they’ll probably do it somewhere else . Why do you ask?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Nothing, just curious,” said Wang Yao .
“Do you want to have lunch together?” asked Wang Mingbao .
“Not today, I have to go back to the village . I have something to do in the afternoon,” said Wang Yao .
He left Wang Mingbao’s store and drove home . He parked his car outside his house, then walked inside . His mother was busying preparing lunch . His father was not home .
“Lunch is almost ready,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
A few minutes after Wang Yao had set up the table, Wang Fenghua came home .
“Yao, I saw a car parking outside your clinic . Can you go and check if someone is waiting for you?” said Wang Fenghua .
“Lunch is ready, eat something first,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I think Yao should go to the clinic now . Your patients are your priority,” said Wang Fenghua .
“Okay, I’ll go and have a look,” said Wang Yao .
He left home and headed towards south, soon he saw a car parking outside his clinic .
Before he had reached his clinic, someone got out of the car .

“Hello, Dr . Wang, it’s good you are here . ”
The person had a medium build . His face was pale . His eyes were dark . His voice was soft .
The person was seriously ill .
It was Lu Xian, who came with Su Changhe a few days ago . His condition was similar to Wei Hai’s . The parasites had gotten into his organs, so it was considered a hard-to-treat condition . Wang Yao had given him sedge to take last time . So far, he’d only had one treatment session .
“Please come in,” said Wang Yao .
He unlocked the door of the clinic and led Lu Xian inside .
“Do you feel better?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes, much better . ” Lu Xian nodded . He felt much better after taking the decoction provided by Wang Yao . He had less pain in his organs . Then he realized that Professor Su was telling the truth, that the young doctor had profound medical skills beyond his years . Therefore he came to Lianshan again to see Wang Yao .
“Can you take a look at me?” asked Lu Xian .
“Sure,” said Wang Yao .
He checked Lu Xian’s pulse .
The decoction he gave Lu Xian definitely worked .
“You also need to change your lifestyle . This is very important,” said Wang Yao .
“I will . I’ve been only eating vegetables lately,” said Lu Xian .
“You don’t have to . You can eat some meat, just not seafood . And make sure you don’t eat too much meat,” said Wang Yao .
“Can I have more of the decoction you gave me last time?” asked Lu Xian .
“Okay, wait a second . ” Wang Yao went to a different room to take the decoction from the cabinet of the system . He gave Lu Xian a small proportion of the decoction last time, so he still had some available .
“You can take this decoction back . Take it with the formula I prescribed for you last time,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, thank you,” said Lu Xian .
That was the entire point of his visit .
“By the way, Dr . Wang, how much should I pay you?” asked Lu Xian .
“One hundred thousand . ” Wang Yao lifted one of his fingers .
Licorice roots were priceless . He wouldn’t give them away easily .
“Okay, I’ll pay you now,” said Lu Xian .
This time, Lu Xian made payment without thinking .
He wouldn’t blink his eyes if one hundred thousand yuan could buy his health back .
“Can I leave now?” asked Lu Xian .

“Yes, come back in ten days . I will give you another check up,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Lu Xian .
After Lu Xian had left the clinic, Wang Yao went home for lunch . His parents had finished lunch . His mother kept his meal in the cooker .
“Has the patient gone?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“Yao, have you done what I asked you to do?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes, I’ve asked Mingbao to do some investigating into him . I don’t know anyone from the Department of Education,” said Wang Yao .
“Investigating whom?” asked Wang Fenghua .
“Your future son-in-law,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“The Mr . Du who came by the other day?” asked Wang Fenghua .
“Yeah, him,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Hmmm, I think he is a nice guy,” said Wang Fenghua .
“So you were easily bought by two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarette,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“It has nothing to do with what he brought here,” said Wang Fenghua .
It was 2 pm when Wang Yao had finished lunch . He went to Nanshan Hill right after lunch .
In the village, Sun Zhengrong’s men had finished demolishing the two old houses and transferred all the construction waste out of the village . The builders had started to dig for the base of the new house . The construction of a new house was in progress .
“Wow, rich people! They are building a new house,” said a villager who passed the construction site .
“What’s so good about building a house here?” said a female villager .
“You don’t understand, a Feng Shui master once said the Feng Shui in our village is really good,” said the other villager .
“How is it good?” asked the female villager .
“Our village is surrounded by hills, and has a river going through,” said the other villager .
“Nonsense! All the villages nearby are better than here . Even Li Family Creek, which was poorer than our village, has a hot spring now . I heard a holiday resort will be built there,” said the female villager .
Meanwhile, in Beijing, which was thousands of miles away from Lianshan, it started to get cold . People in Beijing started to take out their thick clothes .
Su Xiaoxue was sitting in a wheelchair . She was in the courtyard of her house looking up at the sky .
She was allowed to stay outdoors for some time every day, but not for too long . Because she was still weak . Song Ruiping didn’t want her daughter to catch a cold . Su Xiaoxue preferred to stay outside day and night even though she could get sick . She had enough of staying in her room . She had been in her room for years . She was sick of staying in her bed .
“Ying, do you think I can go to see Mr . Wang given my current condition?” When Su Xiaoxue mentioned Wang Yao, she called him Mr . Wang to show respect .
“I’m afraid you can’t travel that far given your current condition,” said Chen Ying .
She was standing behind Su Xiaoxue . She often came to spend some time with Su Xiaoxue lately . She kept Su Xiaoxue company . They talked, and they often mentioned Wang Yao, a young man who was both mysterious and wonderful .
“You are right . Not now, but I think I can go to see him very soon,” said Su Xiaoxue .
Her smile was beautiful and bright, like the sunshine in spring, like a blooming flower .
Chen Ying smiled .
She really admired Su Xiaoxue, who had been so sick that almost everybody believed she wouldn’t get better . Everybody thought she was dying slowly on her bed . And then Wang Yao appeared . He brought magic back to her life . He tried his best to save her from the Grim Reaper . She got better after every treatment given by Wang Yao . The boils in her body slowly disappeared . She gradually got better .
Wang Yao made her see the light in the dark .
How about Chen Zhou?
Chen Ying also saw some hope . However, her brother’s condition had been getting worse lately .
“Mr . Wang, when will you come back?”
Su Xiaoxue’s eyes were clear and bright .
She continued to take the decoction prescribed by Wang Yao to strengthen corporeity . Of course the decoction alone wouldn’t speed up her recovery . Her internal power was growing at the same time . Her Qi played an important role in her recovery . She had been practicing how to control her Qi using the method Wang Yao taught her . The only thing was that she was unfamiliar with the meridians of human body, so she couldn’t make the best out of her Qi .
Whoo! A gust of wind passed . The trees were rustling .
“It’s getting cold and windy . Shall we go inside?” suggested Chen Ying .
“Okay, let’s go,” said Su Xiaoxue .
Chen Ying helped Su Xiaoxue go back into her room .
She helped Su Xiaoxue settle in her room and talked with her for a short while . Then Chen Ying notifying the maid and left Su Xiaoxue’s house .
“She’s got something on her mind,” said Su Xiaoxue .
She sat in front of the window and watched Chen Ying leaving her house .
“I suppose she is worried about her brother,” said the maid .
“Her brother?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“Yes . Oh, Miss, you might not be aware that her brother is hospitalized,” said the maid .
“Because of his mental illness? Still?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“Yes, he is still unstable,” said the maid .
“Hasn’t she asked Mr . Wang to take a look at her brother?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“I think she did,” said the maid .
