The old man started to have a warm and swelling feeling in his head . His also had a swelling feeling in his eyes .
“How do you feel?” asked Wang Yao .
“I have a warm and swelling feeling in my head,” said the old man .
Warm and swelling feeling?
Wang Yao stopped massaging .
He checked the old man’s pulse . His held his fingers on the old man’s pulse for some time .
Then he waited next to the old man’s bed for about an hour . Afterwards, he checked the old man’s pulse again . After making sure the old man was fine, he started to massage the old man’s head again to stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians in his head cautiously .
The old man still had a warm feeling in his head . Now the feeling became stronger, like waves, one after another . However, this time, he also had a prickling feeling in his head .
Shush!
The old man took a deep breath .
“Are you alright?” asked Wang Yao .
“My head is aching,” said the old man .
“Really?” Wang Yao stopped massaging immediately .
“Where about?” asked Wang Yao .
“It’s a bit hard to say,” said the old man .
“I’ll press your head gently, tell me if you feel pain,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said the old man .
Wang Yao gently pressed his finger on a spot of the old man’s head .
“Is it here?” asked Wang Yao .
“Yes, you are right,” said the old man immediately .
This was where the thrombosis was .
Pain was not always a bad thing .
Wang Yao reckoned the pain was a good sign, but he chose to stop treating the old man . Instead, he sat next to the old man’s bed to check his pulse every half an hour . He kept doing that until noon .
The old man’s wife had been standing next to the bed as she watched Wang Yao treat her husband . She stood up to prepare for lunch, and was about to kill a rabbit for them to eat .
“Tell your auntie we won’t have lunch here . I have to take someone to the airport,” said Wang Yao to Pan Jun .
“Okay,” said Pan Jun .
He went out of the room to speak to his uncle’s wife .
The old woman came back a moment later .
“Dr . Wang, you’re not going to have lunch here?” asked the old woman .
“No, Ma’am, thank you . I have to take a friend to the airport later . I appreciate your invitation,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
“Sorry to keep you busy for the whole morning,” said the old woman .
“Don’t worry about that,” said Wang Yao .
After he made sure that the old man was fine, he left the old man’s house . He left behind part of the decoction he brewed for the old man, and told the old woman about the precautions of taking the decoction .
“Ask him to take the decoction on time . Warm the decoction before he takes it,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said the old woman .
“You need to take care of yourself too . Don’t work too hard . ” Wang Yao could tell that the old woman was not fit . She had a kyphotic posture, so she slumping over a bit .
“Okay,” said the old woman .
“We are leaving now . You should go back into the house, it’s quite cold outside,” said Wang Yao .
He and Pan Jun left the village in his car . The old woman didn’t go back into her house until she the car was out of sight .
“What a nice young man,” said the old woman .
“What is the fee for the treatment?” asked Pan Jun in the car .
“Don’t worry it about until I cure your uncle . ” Wang Yao shook his hand .
For many, he would charge a lot for treatment . For some, he wouldn’t provide treatment no matter how much they were willing to pay . For the others, he would treat them for free .
Wang Yao had his own standards . But sometimes, he just did what he wanted on a whim .
For instance, the two elderly people he just met reminded him of his own grandparents . He felt close to them .
Everyone wanted more money . The more, the better . However, Wang Yao was quite happy with his earnings .
“Shall we have lunch together?” asked Pan Jun .
“No, thank you . I really do have to take a friend to the airport,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay, you can drop me anywhere convenient,” said Pan Jun .
After dropping Pan Jun at an intersection, Wang Yao went to the hostel to pick Chen Ying .
Chen Ying didn’t bring lots of luggage with her . She just had one large backpack .
“Sorry for being late, I had to see a patient this morning,” said Chen Ying .
“That’s fine,” said Chen Ying, smiling .
Wang Yao’s car was traveling fast on the broad highway .
“What do you think of my hometown?” asked Wang Yao .
“It’s nice, especially Nanshan Hill,” said Chen Yiing . “It was like a cave paradise . ”
“Haha!” laughed Wang Yao .
A “cave paradise” in Taoism referred to places where the gods and goddesses lived . Most of the cave paradises were in those famous mountains . However, there was no gods or goddess in the world nowadays .
Nanshan Hill was not special in terms of the view . However, it was filled with good aura, which was very rare . Therefore, Nanshan Hill was not a half penny worse than those famous mountains . It deserved to be called a “cave paradise” .
It was less than a two hour drive from Lianshan town center to Haiqu airport . There were not many cars on the road at noon . Wang Yao was driving fast . It only took him an hour and a half to get to the airport .
“Thank you for your hospitality over the past few days,” said Chen Ying .
“Haha, that’s nothing . ” Wang Yao waved his hand . He had only showed Chen Ying the hills .
“You don’t have to stay here with me,” said Chen Ying .
“Never mind,” said Wang Yao .
He had a chat with Chen Ying in the waiting area, and didn’t leave until the ground staff announced time for boarding .
“Thank you,” said Chen Ying again .
“You are welcome,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao felt a bit embarrassed as Chen Ying kept thanking him . Actually, he couldn’t completely understand what was on Chen Ying’s mind now . For Chen Ying, Wang Yao was an amazing person, a really capable and talented person, more capable than anyone she had ever met . Therefore, she highly respected him, and for some reason, she was even a bit intimidated by him .
She had witnessed how Wang Yao controlled the rain and wind on the Great Wall . It was raining heavily on that day, but Wang Yao’s clothes were completely dry even though he was standing in the rain .
It was Wang Yao’s ability, his true ability .
He was close to a sort of god .
“I wish you a safe trip,” said Wang Yao .
He didn’t leave until Chen Ying had disappeared at the end of the corridor .
He took a detour on his way back . He went to the beach on a whim .
In winter, it was very windy on the beach . There was only a handful of people on the beach .
Wang Yao stood on the beach listening to the sound of wind from the ocean .
The sands underneath his feet were soft .
It was very windy and the waves were high .
Wang Yao stood quietly on the beach . He slowly released his Qi to communicate with his surroundings .
Wallwalla! A wave surged forward .
Wang Yao slowly pushed his palm forward . His Qi split the wave into two .
He pushed his palms forward in turns . One hold after another appeared in the waves .
He looked around and found there was no one nearby . Then he took a big breath .
His Qi was like a running river .
He did an air-splitting fist .
He used all this strength .
Pop!
A loud sound appeared in the air, like a gunshot .
Bang! The wave was split into two .
Following the direction of Wang Yao’s fist, there appeared a crack on the surface of the sea . The crack was about 10 meters long . It only lasted for a few seconds . It was soon filled with water .
At the moment Wang Yao punched out, the wind around him stopped, as if all of the air surrounding Wang Yao was evacuated .
“Good,” said Wang Yao in low voice .
He had never used all of his strength, even when he was on Nanshan Hill .
He looked at the waves in the sea, and followed the rhythm of the waves to do his breathing exercises . He inhaled and exhaled with the waves as they rolled in and pulled out .
It seemed to be a good idea to go to the beach often .
The ocean was different from hills .
The hills were high while the ocean was endless . They were so different .
Wang Yao was practicing medicine and Kung Fu at the same time .
He didn’t leave the beach until it was nearly 5 pm . It was getting dark .
“What are you doing?!”
Suddenly he heard someone shouting in the woods near the beach . It was a woman’s voice .
“Not here, let’s go!” said the woman .
“I want to do it here . I’m excited to do it here,” said a man .
What the hell?!
Wang Yao knew immediately what the two were about to do .
He didn’t get why people wanted to have sex in the woods next to the beach, where it was so cold and windy . People’s tastes are so weird now . Is it that expensive to go to a hotel?
Aye!
Wang Yao made a low sound, which sounded like thunder .
“What the hell?!”
The couple in the woods were startled . They thought they bumped into a ghost . So they rushed out of the woods, but didn’t see anyone .
“What’s going on!?” said the woman .
“It’s not good to have sex outside on such a cold day . It’s not good for your Yang energy . The cold toxin would invade your body . I’m doing this for your own good,” said Wang Yao to himself while walking .
He drove back home after he left the beach .
His mother had set up the table and cooked nice and warm dished .
“It’s so nice to be at home!” said Wang Yao .
“Where have you been today?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“I drove Chen Ying to the airport today . She left for Beijing,” said Wang Yao .
“Back to Beijing?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“What about her brother?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“I will go to Beijing soon,” said Wang Yao after he took a sip of the soup .
Wang Yao chatted with his parents after dinner . Then he went back to Nanshan Hill . He planned to go to the town center again the next day, not to see Li Maoshuang’s uncle, but to see Zhou Xiong’s uncle .
Zhou Xiong’s uncle had stayed in Lianshan for some time . He stayed in the same unit Zhou Xiong used to rent . Wang Yao had gone to see him several days ago . He was stable at the moment .
