“Do you know each other?” asked Wang Yao .

“Sort of,” said Sun Zhengrong .
He didn’t expect to see Chen Ying here, and neither did she expect to see Sun Zhengrong .
“Yunsheng, this is Chen Ying,” said Sun Zhengrong .
“Hello,” greeted Sun Yunsheng immediately .
“Hello,” Chen Ying greeted back .
Because they all knew each other, they stayed in Wang Yao’s clinic to chat for a while .
“Yunsheng seems to be much better . ” Chen Ying knew about Yunsheng’s condition, because Sun Zhengrong had taken his son to Beijing to see the best Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners . Yunsheng’s condition wasn’t as bad at the time .
“Yes, thanks to Dr . Wang’s extraordinary medical skills,” said Sun Zhengrong .
“I agree with you,” said Chen Ying .
“What brings you here?” asked Sun Zhengrong .
“Oh, Ms . Song asked me to come by to invite Dr . Wang to come to Beijing,” said Chen Ying .
“I see,” said Sun Zhengrong .
He only knew that Wang Yao had seen the Head Elder, who had passed away . He didn’t expect that Wang Yao had also seen Su Xiaoxue, the precious princess of her family .
Wang Yao was apparently a distinguished guest of prestigious families in Beijing .
“Since we are together here, let me take you all out for lunch . My treat,” said Wang Yao .
“Sounds good,” said Sun Zhengrong .
He paid the treatment fee without thinking . He didn’t care about money . Compared to money, he valued Wang Yao more . He reckoned that Wang Yao was not only capable, but also had an extended social network .
They went to the same restaurant that Wang Yao and Chen Ying visited previously in the village next door .
Wang Yao ordered food from the hill and the river .
The food didn’t cost much, but tasted unique .
After Sun Zhengrong and his son had left, Chen Ying consulted Wang Yao for advice on her brother’s condition . Due to her brother’s mental illness, she had consulted a number of specialists for advice, including a few prominent doctors . Plus, thanks to the fact that she had practiced Kung Fu since childhood and had some knowledge of Chinese Traditional Medicine, she was practically a Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner herself . Of course she didn’t have any clinical experience . Therefore, she wanted to learn from Wang Yao . She wanted to be able to take care of her brother when Wang Yao was not in Beijing . She hoped that she could identify the changes in her brother, which might have a positive impact on future treatment .

“Thank you,” said Chen Ying after Wang Yao had answered all her questions .
“You are welcome,” said Wang Yao .
He drove Chen Ying to the hotel in Lianshan town center, when went home .
After Wang Yao had left the hotel, Chen Ying summarized the information from her meeting with Wang Yao and then called Song Ruiping .
“Hello, Ma’am, it’s me, Chen Ying,” said Chen Ying .
“Hello, have you met Dr . Wang?” asked Song Ruiping .
“Yes . He has been really busy lately, so his visit to Beijing was delayed . He said he would go to Beijing once he had everything sorted out here . He promised he would go, but didn’t tell me the exact date,” said Chen Ying .
“You can ask him if there is anything we should prepare prior to his visit, or if we could help . If so, contact Boyuan,” said Song Ruiping .
“Yes, Ma’am” said Chen Ying .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao had gone back home .
“Yao, what does that Chen Ying do in Beijing?” asked Zhang Xiuying during dinner .
“You mean her occupation? She’s sort of a housekeeper,” said Wang Yao after thinking for a moment .
Actually, Wang Yao didn’t know what Chen Ying’ role was . He only knew she worked for Su Xiaoxue’s family . He reckoned her role was similar to Chen Boyuan’s . They just had different tasks .
“Housekeeper? Does she work for a rich family?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yeah, I think so,” said Wang Yao .
He didn’t know how powerful Su Xiaoxue’s family was, but he could tell her family was one of the most prestigious families in Beijing .
“I see . That girl is quite nice,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“What do you mean?!” Wang Yao was dazed for a second . He didn’t know why his mother suddenly made such a comment .
“What brings her here?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Oh, she wants me to go to Beijing to see a patient,” said Wang Yao .
“The patient you mentioned last time? The girl who couldn’t move and was stuck in bed all the time?” asked Zhang Xiuying .

“Yes, she’s much better now . She can get out of the bed . Although she still can’t walk, she can go out in a wheelchair,” said Wang Yao .
Before, Su Xiaoxue’s had ulcers all over her skin . She had to stay in a relatively confined space to prevent infection . Wang Yao remembered clearly that her bed was surrounded by gauze . The essential oils burning in her room could kill the germs and expel any stray insects .
“Chen Ying came here not only for that girl, but also for her brother,” said Wang Yao .
“Her brother’s sick?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“What’s wrong with him?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“A mental problem . ” Wang Yao pointed to his head .
“Is it bad?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes, It’s very serious . Hard to cure,” said Wang Yao .
Chen Zhou’s condition was very hard to cure .
“It seems that girl’s got a tough life,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Yeah, her brother is her only family member left,” said Wang Yao .
He knew Chen Ying’s life was actually very stressful .
“Really? You should help her,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I’ll try my best,” said Wang Yao .
“By the way, don’t take advantage of that girl,” said Zhang Xiuying seriously .
“What?” Wang Yao almost spat out a mouthful of water .
“I’m serious . Don’t do anything you are not supposed to do just because a pretty girl needs your help,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Of course I won’t!” said Wang Yao . “You know me!”
“Your mother meant well . She just wanted to remind you,” said Wang Fenghua, who had been smoking and had kept silent until now . “You will meet more people outside the village, and have more temptations . You need to stick to your principles . ”
This was a serious advice from a father .

“I will stick to my principles,” said Wang Yao .
“You practice medicine in order to help the public . You also need to be ethical and try your best to save people,” said Wang Fenghua .
Wang Yao received a call from Li Maoshuang that evening to ask him if he could go to the hospital the next day .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“Great! My cousins want to invite you for lunch to express their gratitude,” said Li Maoshuang on the other side of the phone .
“They really don’t need to do that,” said Wang Yao .
“Will you go to the hospital tomorrow?” Zhang Xiuying overheard his conversation with Li Maoshuang .
“Yes, I need to visit a patient,” said Wang Yao .
“Good, I’ll go with you . I want to visit your uncle’s wife . She should be discharged soon,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao .
It was cold and windy that night .
“Is it cold on the hill?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Not really . I’m pretty fit now, so I’m not afraid of cold weather and heat,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
“Just take an extra quilt with you,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“No, I really don’t need it,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
It was actually nice and warm on Nanshan Hill . But even if he was in a freezing place, he wouldn’t feel anything given his current fitness .
“Alright, take care of yourself,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“I will,” said Wang Yao .
He went up to Nanshan Hill by himself .
He couldn’t see the moon and the stars in the sky tonight .
The light on the hill was like a pea looking from distance .
Wang Yao was reading a medical book, which had come from the system, called Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases .
One of the cases in the book caught his eye: A person had ulcers all over his body . The ulcers were as big as peas, and would broke if they were touched .
Another case mentioned a skinny person, whose face turned yellow, liked eating sour food . His treating doctor gave him Deworming Soup to take three times a day . Over one hundred insects were expelled from his body . The Deworming Soup contained ebony, citrus, areca, rhubarb, pinellia, rangoon creeper, and aurantii fructus . For those who had severe stomach pain, Yuen Long could be added to the formula . For those who had haemorrhoids, areca should be removed . For those who had diarrhea, berberine and baical skullcap root should be included . For those who experienced bloating and reduced appetite, Sanxian should be included .
All the cases described in the book were considered rare . For each case, the author wrote in details of the symptoms, the formula prescribed, and what happened to the patient after taking the formula .
Wang Yao read the book slowly . He didn’t want to miss any important information, because all of these cases were very rare . One of the cases was about a patient who suffered a condition similar to cancer . The patient was cured eventually . This really amazed Wang Yao . The patient underwent acupuncture as well as herbal therapy . The treatment method was unique . The patient also had an herb bath, which contained toxic grass . Apparently the practitioner tried to counteract one toxin with another .
The practitioner cured the patient, but the process was not documented in detail . Wang Yao also hadn’t seen that detox grass had been ever used in any other cases, including the ones in The Catalogue of Magic Herbs .
It was getting late .
Wang Yao didn’t stop studying until it was past 11 pm .
Woof!
San Xian barked .
“Yes?”
Wang Yao checked the time .
He should go to bed .
San Xian was prompting him to rest .
“Thank you, San Xian, good night,” said Wang Yao gently .
San Xian lifted up his head, then laid down on his stomach in his warm dog house .
Wang Yao, San Xian, and Da Xia all went to sleep .
It was unclear if they would all meet in their dreams .
The temperature seemed to go up a bit the next day . It wasn’t too cold in the morning .
Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill early in the morning . He left home for Lianshan People’s Hospital with his mother after breakfast .
