“Nothing else can help Chen Zhou?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“I’m not sure . I didn’t ask her for details,” said the maid .
“I see,” said Su Xiaoxue .
She looked through the window while practicing the control of her internal power . She felt warm in her belly .
Her Qi was moving around in certain area of her body .
“The view is nice,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Yes,” said the maid .
In fact, there was nothing nice to see . It was winter . Everything looked deserted . However, for Su Xiaoxue, who had been stuck in her bed for years and been unable to see anything outside, the view was so pretty .
Ding! The doorbell rang .
“Miss, Mr . Guo is here to see you,” said a maid downstairs .
“Please invite him to come in,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Sure,” said the maid .
Guo Zhenghe walked upstairs with a seemingly valuable gift .
“Hi, Xiaoxue, how are you? Looking at something nice through the window again?” said Guo Zhenghe .
“Hi, Zhenghe, please take a seat,” said Su Xiaoxue .
Guo Zhenghe had visited Su Xiaoxue regularly these days, especially once Su Xiaoxue’s face had recovered .
He didn’t expect Su Xiaoxue would become so pretty, even prettier than before . Su Xiaoxue had been a well-known beauty among the prestigious families in Beijing before she got ill . The Head Elder and Su Xiaoxue’s grandpa once joked about Su Xiaoxue and Guo Zhenghe getting together .
Now Guo Zhenghe truly wanted to marry Su Xiaoxue .
His family needed to connect with a powerful family, and Su Xiaoxue had regained her beauty .
What a fantastic doctor Wang Yao is!
Guo Zhenghe had come across a lot of medical specialists . He had to admit that Wang Yao was one of the best doctors he had ever met .
Wang Yao could save a dying person and recover a destroyed face . It seemed that there was nothing Wang Yao couldn’t do .
Guo Zhenghe had a very pleasant conversation with Su Xiaoxue . Although he was very young, he had many girlfriends in the past . On the other hand, Su Xiaoxue was as pure as a snow lotus .
It was so easy to make Su Xiaoxue happy .
The sole purpose of Guo Zhenghe’s visit was to make Su Xiaoxue happy .
It was important to keep a girl happy, and one should never act hastily when chasing a girl .
What a naive girl! thought Guo Zhenghe . She should be a good wife .
On his way out, he stopped in the courtyard and turned his head to look at Su Xiaoxue . Su Xiaoxue waved her hand at him . Her smile was as warm as shining sun .
He decided to visit Su Xiaoxue as often as he could .
“What a hypocrite!” said Su Xiaoxue in low voice .
“Sorry, Miss, what did you say?” asked her maid .
“Nothing . He’s a deputy Governor of a county now . Shouldn’t he be too busy to chat with me?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“He should be very busy . But he is the eldest son . Maybe he just wants to maintain a good relationship with your family . He’s probably trying to get as much support as he can for the county he works in . I heard the county he works in is very poor,” said the maid standing behind Su Xiaoxue .
“Very poor?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“Yes,” said the maid .
“What about Lianshan County?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“Lianshan County? I don’t know,” said the maid with surprised . She had never heard of Lianshan County . She didn’t even know why Su Xiaoxue suddenly mentioned Lianshan County .
“Oh, never mind,” said Su Xiaoxue, smiling .
“Oh,” said the maid .
She was a middle-aged woman . She decided to do a search on the internet about Lianshan County . She wanted to know what was special about that place .
Song Ruiping came home at lunch time . As Su Xiaoxue had gotten better, she didn’t have to stay at home all the time . So she went out almost every day to run some errands .
“Xiaoxue!” Song Ruiping went upstairs to see her daughter right away without taking even a moment to settle in .
“Mom, you are back,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Yeah, how was everything today?” Song Ruiping asked the same question every time she came back home . She really cared about her daughter .
“Everything was good,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Are you getting tired of sitting in the wheelchair for the whole morning?” asked Song Ruiping .
“Not really . I enjoy looking outside,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Ma’am, here is some water . ” One of the maids gave Song Ruiping a glass of water .
“Thank you,” said Song Ruiping .
She sat next to the window to talk with her daughter for a while .
“You had a visitor in the morning?” Song Ruiping noticed the health supplements on the table, which were quite expensive .
“Yeah, Zhenghe came here in the morning,” said Su Xiaoxue .
“Zhenghe?” Song Ruiping’s face changed slightly .
“What’s going on, Mom?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
“Nothing . What do you think of him?” said Song Ruiping .
“He’s fine,” said Su Xiaoxue . “Why do you ask?”
“Nothing, I just want to know how you think of him,” said Song Ruiping, smiling .
“Mom, I don’t want to get married,” said Su Xiaoxue softly . “At least not now . ”
“Don’t talk silly . ” Song Ruiping held her daughter’s hand gently . “I don’t want you to get married . I don’t even want you to leave this house yet . ”
She talked with her daughter for some time .
“Rest in bed for a bit . I need to make a phone call,” said Song Ruiping .
“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue .
Song Ruiping called the two maids to the living room after she had left Su Xiaoxue’s room .
“Don’t let anyone disrupt Xiaoxue when I’m not home,” said Song Ruiping seriously .
“Yes, Ma’am,” said the maids .
“Did Xiaoxue mention anything else after her meeting with Zhenghe?” asked Song Ruiping .
“Yes . She asked me where Mr . Guo worked and whether he was busy . By the way, she also asked me about Lianshan County,” said one of the maids .
“Lianshan?” said Song Ruipng with surprise .
“Yes, what’s wrong? Ma’am?” asked the maid .
“Nothing . ” Song Ruiping shook her hand . She, of course, knew that Dr . Wang was in Lianshan County .
When will Dr . Wang be able to come back?
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was on Nanshan Hill, preparing herbs for Meridian Unblocking Powder .
He had seen a number of patients recently, so he had accumulated enough bonus points for the herbs he needed . Part of the herbs were available in the herbal field .
I can start to brew Meridian Unblocking Powder after I have all of the herbs ready .
He needed Meridian Unblocking Powder for Pan Jun’s relative and Zhou Wuyi .
In the village, the building contractors worked very efficiently .
A car with non-local number plate came into the village .
“Is this the right place?” asked the passenger .
“Yes, it is,” said the driver .
The car stopped outside Wang Yao’s clinic .
“Please wait a second, I’ll go and have a look first,” said the passenger .
“Okay,” said the driver .
A man in his 30’s who had been sitting at the front passenger’s seat got out of the car . He walked in front of the clinic and found the door was locked . Wang Yao was not in the clinic .
Not here?
He didn’t go back to the car immediately . Instead, he went around to ask the villagers living nearby about Wang Yao .
“You’re looking for Wang Yao? He should be on Nanshan Hill,” said a villager .
“His parents live in the village, you can ask them,” said another villager .
After the man had gotten Wang Yao’s address, he got back inside the car to let the driver know .
“He is not here . I was told he should be on Nanshan Hill . I’m going to his parents’ house . Please wait for me,” said the man in his 30’s .
“Okay,” said the driver .
The man in his 30’s went to Wang Yao’s house right away . He was very polite to Wang Yao’s parents .
“Okay, just one second, I’ll give Yao a call . ” Zhang Xiuying called Wang Yao, who was up on Nanshan Hill, to see his patient .
“Patient? At this time of the day?” Wang Yao looked up at the sky .
It was late afternoon; past 4 pm, to be exact . Normally, people wouldn’t come to see a doctor at this time of the day .
Let me have a look .
Since the patient had come to him, he had to see the patient .
He could see the car parked outside his clinic from a distance .
Non-local plates?
A middle-aged man wearing a formal suit was waiting outside of the clinic . He checked his watch from time to time .
He walked towards Wang Yao as soon as he saw him .
“Good afternoon, are you Dr . Wang?” asked the middle-aged man .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“Great! I’ve been waiting for you,” said the middle-aged man .
“Sorry to keep you waiting, please come in . ” Wang Yao unlocked the door and invited him into the clinic . “You are not the patient right?”
Wang Yao could tell at first glance if a person was sick or not, and he was not .
“No, not me . Wait a second, I’ll bring him here,” said the middle-aged man .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
A short moment later, the middle-aged man came back with a man wearing sunglasses .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . ” The man took off his sunglasses . He had a square face, dark and thick eyebrows, and looked to be in his 40’s .
“Hello,” said Wang Yao .
He took a closer look at the patient, who looked masculine . However, his eyes were dark . He had two large bags under his eyes . It seemed that he hadn’t slept well .
“How can I help you?” asked Wang Yao .
“I tend to have nightmares when I sleep,” said the patient .
“Nightmares?” asked Wang Yao .
Wang Yao checked his pulse . He found that the patient had cold toxins invading into his brain, but nothing too severe .
“Your condition is not too bad,” said Wang Yao .
He didn’t prescribe any herbs . He just gave the patient a massage .
“Hmmm, I feel so comfortable!” praised the patient .
He had a warm feeling in his head following the massage therapy . He was more alert and felt better .
“Thank you, I feel much better now,” said the patient .
“Good, go back and have a good rest,” said Wang Yao .
“That’s it?” asked the patient with surprise .
“Yeah, what else do you need?” said Wang Yao .
“I don’t need to take any medication?” asked the patient .
“Not at the moment,” said Wang Yao .
The patient’s condition was not too bad . The massage therapy had expelled the cold toxin out of his brain . The patient should recover after a good sleep .
“Okay, thank you,” said the patient .
He made payment, then left with his sunglasses back on .
What a strange person! thought Wang Yao as he watched the patient leaving .
“Are you happy now?” asked the patient’s friend .
“Yes, I do feel much better . He’s a good doctor,” said the patient .
Their car left the village .
The sun came out as usual the next morning .
Wang Yao was brewing a decoction on the hill quietly .
He was brewing Meridian Unblocking Powder .
He was very familiar with Meridian Unblocking Powder, which he had brewed a number of times before .
The firewood was burning, making crackling sounds .
Wang Yao sat next to the fire, like an old monk in meditation .
The only difference was that he moved . He put the herbs one-by-one into the pot . Soon the cottage was filled with the smell of herbs .
“Are you okay?” asked the man who brought his friend to see Wang Yao a while ago .
“I’m having a bad headache,” said his friend .
“You have a headache again?” asked the man .
“Let’s go back to the village to see that young doctor,” said his friend .
“Okay, I’ll arrange the trip right away,” said the man .
Wang Yao had finished brewing the decoction when it was almost noon . He tidied up his cottage and then left the hill .
While he was having lunch, someone knocked on the door of his house . It was the middle-aged man who was waiting for him outside of the clinic yesterday afternoon .
