The next treatment was to dredge the channels and collaterals to expel remnant toxicity that had gone deep into the organs and consolidate the fundamentals . The general treatment ideas were clear despite the complicated symptoms .
What about the medication? There it was . That old man wanted to keep his capacity, but it was a little bit hard .
Wang Yao went didn’t go to bed until midnight again .
The next morning was sunny but a little windy .
Zhou Wuyi was standing by the window with the aid of his crutches . He sighed seeing the bald trees outside .
“Winter is always bleak . ”
Winter was like him, it lacked vigor . “Alas,” he sighed again .
“Uncle, Doctor Wang is coming,” Zhou Xiong said .
Wang Yao came with his Blood Deblocking Powder and regather soup that he had boiled .
“Hello, sir . ”
“Hello, Doctor Wang . ”
Zhou Wuyi looked bad . He walked by toddling without any vigor of the past, like a piece of paper blown away by a gust of wind .
Starting with no phatic words, Wang Yao treated the old man .
The old man felt his abdomen become lukewarm as soon as he drank a cup of medicine soup .
Wang Yao then massaged his acupoints to dredge the blood and unblock all the channels, collaterals and acupoints between the chest and abdomen to stimulate his body .
The old man’s forehead began to sweat . Then, his body began to sweat and tremble slightly .
“How do you feel?”
“Good,” the old man answered .
“Hahah…”
Wang Yao smiled . He thought that it should not have been good . The old man should have felt slight tingling pain in more than one place .
The process of unblocking channels and collaterals was usually moderately uncomfortable . It was rarely cozy feeling unless some special medicine was used . Additionally, the old man had some uncontrollable Qi inside his body . It was natural that he should feel a little painful .
The treatment lasted until midday .
“Good . Now, have a rest,” Wang Yao said .
Zhou Wuyi laid down himself on a bed without any energy .
“You should try not to use your neixi or stimulate as little as possible . Your neixi is like a wild horse not in the control of bridle,” Wang Yao said .
“Ok . I will listen to you . ” The old man sighed .
These days, he tried to regulate his “obedient” neixi a little at a time, but he always failed . It made his body more painful .
“You need to rest . It will be better if you read some scripture books,” Wang Yao said .
“Scripture books? What kind of scripture books?” the old man asked .
“Taoist scripture,” Wang Yao answered . “Something like Huangting Jing or Huainan Zi . ”
“What for?” Zhou Wuyi asked .
“It helps calm you,” Wang Yao answered .
As a man in his 70s, Zhou Wuyi’s temper did not become better with his growing age . Wang Yao knew this was a typical of an old man with “an excess of heat,” Such character did not help his recovery .
Zhou Wuyi smiled awkwardly, knowing his implied meaning .
It was hard to change his temper or character at his age unless some significant incident happened . Even when he had cheated death, it failed to change him . Actually, he still wanted revenge .
“There is no need to rush home . Would you like to have lunch here?” Zhou Xiong asked .
Wang Yao accepted the invitation .
Zhou Xiong didn’t treat anyone but Wang Yao to lunch . They went to the bistro downstairs and had some simple side dishes .
“How long it will take before my uncle recover?” Zhou Xiong asked .
“It’s hard to say . It depends on his state of mind . It may take a month,” Wang Yao replied .
In fact, his condition was not as serious as that of Su Xiaoxue and Sun Yunsheng, but their mood was better than that of the aged, especially Su Xiaoxue . Her character and mood were really good . She was open-minded and had clear thoughts . Keeping relaxed and not overdoing it, in addition to having a frequent smile, helped in the recovery from the disease .
It was reasonable that many old sayings implied that a broad-minded person usually had a kind appearance and that the more one smiles, the younger one becomes .
Wang Yao suddenly received a text from Long Yunfei . “I have arrived in Haiqu . Living in Hill Ocean Hotel now . ” Wang Yao responded with one word, “Wait . ” What happened in the hotel in Haiqu?
Long Yunfei looked at the sea far away by the French windows . He was very calm . Though he had been excited after receiving the message, he quickly calmed after he arrived in Haiqu . For the whole afternoon, he sat quietly looking at the sea . Many ideas had come to his mind .
“Has Xiao Jiang been to Haiqu?” Long Yunfei asked the young man with him .
“No, director,” the young man replied .
“It is winter . Unfortunately, it is not a good time,” Long Yunfei said . “We could go to the beach . ”
He did not get any word or phone call from Wang Yao . It was now getting dark .
“Come on, let’s go have supper,” the young man urged .
Long Yunfei agreed . After eating seafood, he was happy . He even drank some wine .
“Director, I feel you have changed,” said the young man, who helped Long Yunfei with his daily life .
“Really, why?” Long Yunfei asked .
“Oh, you have become indifferent or cool,” the young man said after thinking about it for a bit .
“Indifferent? What’s wrong with being indifferent?” Long Yunfei smiled .
“Go to Haiqu?” Zhou Xiong asked .
“Yes, to see a friend . ” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“Shall we come back for lunch?” Zhou Xiong asked .
“It’s not necessary . You don’t have to wait for me,” Wang Yao said .
“Ok . Be careful on your way,” Zhou Xiong said .
Wang Yao drove to Haiqu to visit Long Yunfei in the hotel . He sent a message, “I’m in the hall . ”
He didn’t have to wait long before he saw Long Yunfei come downstairs in the wheelchair . He looked a bit excited . His previous indifference had disappeared .
Seeing Wang Yao again made him feel mixed emotions . He had once hated the young man but also felt appreciation for him after the accident, which made him look at many things and people differently .
“Hello, Doctor Wang . It’s been a long time since we last met,” Long Yunfei said .
“Hello, Director Long . Welcome to Haiqu,” Wang Yao said .
He was a little astonished at the changes happening to Long Yunfei . He didn’t look that good, but his eye were clear . He had changed to be more calm and cool, almost like a Buddhist being awakened .
“What about chatting in my room?” Long Yunfei asked .
Wang Yao agreed and followed the director and his assistant to his room .
Long Yunfei showed him documents that involved a patent transfer and some files about the road, all of which were legal binding and official .
“When I came here, the road was under construction,” Long Yunfei said .
“Being built in winter?” Wang Yao asked .
“They need to clean along the road to broaden it . I assume it will not be finished until July . By the way, a man named Sun Zhengrong on the island must be appreciative . He funded the construction program as soon as he heard about the news,” Long Yunfei said .
“Ah?” Wang Yao was a little bit shocked . He had never been told about such thing .
“Yes, he indeed deserves gratitude,” Long Yunfei said .
“I also have to say, thank you,” Wang Yao said looking at Long Yunfei .
“You don’t have to . I did this for myself,” Long Yunfei said .
Wang Yao laughed . “Come on, let me check . ”
Wang Yao reached out to feel his pulse . “Yes, it is just like what I thought,” he said . “Lay face down on the bed . ”
He reached out to massage Long Yunfei’s lower back forwards and backwards, and then the abdomen . It took just over 10 minutes .
Long Yunfei was amazed . His abdomen and lower back were warm, like there was a warm loop around them .
“You will be able to stand on your feet within three days,” Wang Yao said calmly .
Long Yunfei quivered a bit hearing those word, but there was no excessive excitement or tears on his aged face .
“Good,” he sighed .
The two bid farewell to one another . Long Yunfei led him out, watching Wang Yao until he disappeared into the elevator .
“Director, who is that man?”
