“Forget it . ” Long Yunfei shook his hand . If he didn’t change, he would have to have revenge for what he experienced . The old saying, “forgo the old grudge and smile when we meet again,” was nonsense .
But, now? He really did take it easy and let it go . There was no need for the young man to wave the bloody shirt . Some unpleasant stories could fade out as time went by as long as it was not something tied tightly like murdering his father or stealing his wife .
“Go to the sea,” he said .
“Good, I push you there,” the young man said .
Long Yunfei sat by the window overlooking the distant wavy sea . There was no sea in Qinzhou, but the mountains there were magnificently steep and marvelously lofty . Mountains had their own unique majesty and lingering charm . The sea also had its own style of being vast and mighty .
He watched ripples wave, stretching beyond the horizon . He suddenly felt his legs were reactive . He then tried to move them . It was true .
“Amazing!” he exclaimed as he laughed .
He could not contain his excitement . The young man also laughed .
Wang Yao had drove around Haiqu and then gone to the beach before returning to Lianshan . Several strangers were being at his home when he arrived .
“Doctor Wang, where were you?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“What happened?” Wang Yao asked .
“We came to see you, but your clinic was closed . We had to come to your home,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“You should not have come to my home even if the clinic was closed,” Wang Yao replied seriously .
“Ah?” They people were unsure of what to do .

“Come on, let’s go to the clinic . But, you can’t come here like this again . That is my rule . ” Wang Yao turned back .
They were shocked . They had no idea why Wang Yao’s character had changed suddenly . It was different from what they were told about him . They did not ask why and just followed him to the clinic . They had to abide by his rule if they wanted to see him for treatment .
“You’d better get in line . Those who are old or in a serious condition come first,” Wang Yao said .
The first patient was man over 60 who was continuously coughing .
“How long have you suffered from a cold?” Wang Yao asked .
He knew it was a cold with inflammation in the lungs just by hearing the sound of his breath . He didn’t even need to feel his pulse .
“Ahem, more than 10 days,” the man said .
Wang Yao reached out and touched him . “It is pneumonia caused by your cold . Why not go to hospital?”
“I have gone to hospital and received medicine, but it’s no use,” the old said .
“Which medicine were you prescribed?” Wang Yao asked .
The old man told Wang Yao his prescription .
“It should have worked . Did you take the medicine as directed by the doctor?” Wang Yao asked .
“I stopped after several days because I suffered from diarrhea from it,” the old man answered .
“You have to take the medicine be based on doctor’s advice . It won’t work thoroughly if you just stop taking it . That prevents the recovery,” Wang Yao said .
“Could you prescribe some medicine for me?” the old man asked .

Wang Yao wrote a list and took out the medicines according to the prescription . It included some anti-inflammatory drugs with some herbs to tonify the body and stop the diarrhea . It was an ordinary prescription . It would be effective but not as quick-acting as the Western medicine the old man took .
“You have to take it over seven days without stopping,” Wang Yao said .
“Ok . Thank you . ” The old man took the medicine and left after paying .
The second patient was a women over 40 .
“Doctor Wang, my leg hurts as soon as winter comes,” she said .
Wang Yao checked it carefully . Her leg had been seriously hurt .
“Have you hurt your leg before?” he asked .
“Yes . It was broken in a car accident . It happened in winter, just like now,” she said . “It was cold, so it was not properly treated . The disease always relapses seasonally, which is quite weird . ”
Using neixi, Wang Yao massaged and pressed her leg forwards and backwards along several channels and collaterals . The women felt her leg become warm and comfortable . The previous pain went away .
“How do you feel?” he asked .
“It is much better . ” The women got up, moving her leg . She then walked in the room . The hurt leg was agile without any chill or tingling pain .
“You are a marvelous doctor, like a god,” she said .
“Not at all, not at all . ” Wang Yao shook his head .
It was kind of overstated in his view . Anything related to a “god” was an overstated praise because general people did not deserve it .
“How much?” the woman asked .

“It is… $200 . ” Wang Yao hesitated . It was hard to fix a price . It could be $200 or $2,000 because no one could find his neixi anywhere but at his clinic . Moreover, ordinate massage from others now charged $50 or $100 per time, so his price was not really that high .
However, this price was actually not low for general patients given that they were charged no more than $100 for some cold or headache medicine . But, all of them above were tangible . Massage was a service .
“Ok, $200 . ” The women paid . However, she felt it was a bit expensive . But, her leg was cured, at least for now .
The third patient was a woman in her 30s with her son, who was about 7 or 8 . He looked bad . He had no energy and bad breath when breathing .
“Doctor, my son has lost his appetite and suffers from diarrhea frequently . ” she said .
“Let me check,” Wang Yao said . “It is spleen-stomach disharmony and indigestion . Has he taken some deworming medication?”
“Yes, he has,” she replied .
“There are some parasites inside his body, and it is serious,” he said .
The woman was shocked . “I gave him deworming medication based on doctor’s advice . ” she said .
“I will prescribe some deworming medicine, which he will take to wipe out the parasites insides, and then we will tone his body,” Wang Yao said .
The woman agreed .
After thinking for a minute, he decided to give her a prescription based on medical cases mentioned in the Treatise on Miscellaneous Disease . It included ebony, dried tangerine peel, betel nut, rhubarb, the tuber of pinellia, the fruit of Rangoon creeper, fructus aurantii, the rhizome of Chinese goldthread, and the root of large-flowered skullcap .
“Fill the prescription and then divide them into three doses,” he said . “Each dose is for one day . Take the medicine over three days . Do not eat anything spicy, greasy or cold . ”
“Ah, my son never eats that stuff,” she said .
“Good . Come back again in three days,” he replied .
The woman took her son away after paying .
In the village, the two houses Sun Zhengrong bought for his son were under quick construction . It had only been seven days since the foundation base had solidified and they were starting to put up the walls .
“It is too quick,” a villager said . “It needs more than 10 days for the solidification of the foundation base . ”
“Ah, they say it is high-grade concrete, but who knows what’s added in that,” another villager said . “Anyway, they do what they like since they are wealthy . ”
The villagers had mixed emotions . They wondered who would spend so much money building a house in such a small village instead of somewhere else .
In Lianshan, an old man moved his body on a heated stone bed in a shabby room .
“My dear!” he exclaimed . “I feel my toes moving . ”
“What?” a woman asked .
She hurried to get up . Wearing her presbyopic glasses, she stared at his toes, which were really moving .
“Great!” She was excited .
“Ah, brilliant! That doctor Wang is so skillful and professional,” the man said .
It was a good start, just like a harbinger that indicated everything came back to life .
In the clinic, Wang Yao carefully recorded the symptoms, treatment, and medical history of the days’ patients so he could see the results of treatment when they returned .
