He wrote down all the information because it was valuable accumulating experiences that could be passed to the next generation . Treatments and prescriptions chosen for some special diseases also needed the reference provided by a past similar medical case .
Wang Yao went to People’s Hospital in Lianshan in the morning to treat Li Maoshuang’s uncle .
“Doctor Wang, how about my father?” Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin asked Wang Yao in the corridor rather than in the ward to avoid unpleasantness .
“Your father’s condition is steady,” Wang Yao said . “It’s becoming better . ”
“Ah, good . Thank you,” the cousin replied . “Would you like to stay for lunch?”
Wang Yao politely decline the invitation and shook the man’s hand .
“What about the treatment cost?” He had asked about it more than once .
“We’ll take about it later,” Wang Yao answered .
His willingness to treat him came from both Li Maoshuang’s request and the sudden mission issued by the system . It would cost more than $1 million based on the previous charge standards since all the medicine herbs required were high-priced licorice roots . The treatment itself was kind of experimental, which was why Wang Yao hesitated whether to charge so much since he was using his patient’s life and body as experiment subjects .
It would be better to think about such things to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding . He could fix prices for the prescription as long as it was not designated by the system . For now, it was best to put it off without any solution .
Their conversation was heard by others .
“Your father doesn’t look too bad,” said a family member of the next patient to the elder cousin in the ward .
“Yes, he is much better,” Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin replied .
“Hey, buddy, what about having a smoke outside with me?” the other man asked .
The two went outside .
“May I ask whether that Doctor Wang can cure such disease?” that man asked while lighting a smoke .

Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin was shocked . Nothing could be kept secret forever in this world . Plus, they were in the same ward . It was impossible for Wang Yao to avoid them since he had come several times .
“He can cure some diseases”, he answered after thinking .
“Can I ask him to treat my father?” the man asked .
Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin was embarrassed . He was told by his younger cousin that it had been difficult to ask Doctor Wang to treat his father . Plus, the doctor could not ensure the disease could be completely cured . Nobody but a god could cure terminal diseases . But, he couldn’t say that .
“Sorry . ” He shook his head .
“Could you please talk to him about us? We will pay for it no matter how much it will cost,” that man said in a hurry .
The chief doctor indicated to the man that there no treatment politely . His father had become worse day by day . The old man next to father had the same illness and doctor but was able to talk and get up to eat . His father barely had strength to breath and talk . The only difference was that a young man had visited the other old man every two days, feeling his pulse and bringing some special things like medical soup .
“I have no intention to embarrass you . What if I ask him about it next time?” the man asked .
Li Maoshuang’s elder cousin nodded .
In an apartment in Lianshan .
A child yelled out miserably pressing his stomach with bean-sized beads as sweat ran down his face, “Mom, I have a stomachache . ”
“Xiao Dou, what’s happened?” His mother was frantic . “I’m taking you to hospital . ”
The child rushed into the toilet . After a little while, a scream came out from the bathroom .
“What’s going on, Xiao Dou?” The woman heard the yelling and rushed into the bathroom . She saw her son, who was pulling his trousers up, looking at the commode . His pale face looked scared .
The woman looked in the toilet and saw 10 parasites the size of small earthworms wriggling in the feces .

“My god!” She hurried to close the toilet lid and flushed them down . “No worries . Those are the parasites from your stomach . You will be better once they are out . ”
She took her son in her arms, comforting him in a low voice . The child gradually calmed down .
“Mom, that medicine worked, didn’t it?” he asked .
“It must have,” she said .
It seemed the medicine that young doctor had prescribed was useful .
“If I am to take it several times again, I won’t have a stomachache or vomit?” he asked .
“Yes, you will be better,” she said .
Tian Yuantu paid a visit to Wang Yao’s clinic that afternoon .
“It’s been long time since you came here,” Wang Yao said . “Would you like to have a drink?”
He offered Tian Yuantu Qimen black tea, which gave off a rich fragrance .
“I came to tell you that the charity fund of our organization is ready,” he said . “We have to choose a lucky day for the opening ceremony . ”
“Yes, we do indeed,” Wang Yao said .
“What about finding a fortune teller?” Tian Yuantu asked .
“Good, find one and let us know . We will do it together,” Wang Yao said . “By the way, what about your company?”
“It’s been listed,” Tian Yuantu said .

“Can be traded?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, we have to wait for a while,” Tian Yuantu replied .
“I’ve seen some construction and workers in the village . Their cars come from the island,” Wang Yao said . “Oh, Sun Zhengrong bought two properties here for bringing his son to see me . ”
“Are there any empty houses in the village?” Tian Yuantu asked .
“There are two . ” Wang Yao replied . He had asked his father to inquire about available homes . There were two houses made of stones that had sat empty for more than 10 years .
“Good, I plan to buy one,” Tian Yuantu said .
“What for?” Wang Yao asked .
“For the good-quality air in the mountains,” Tian Yuantu replied with a smile .
Wang Yao laughed . City folks all admired the good-quality air in the mountains . They would feel refreshed when living in the village for the first day or two . Within a week, they would be tired of it . There were no bars, supermarkets or restaurants . Life here was simple and plain without any bustling or colorful lifestyles like in the city .
It did not cost much to buy a house in the village . It was even less than $100,000 to afford four houses with slated roofs in a village far away from the city and not near any classic resorts .
Most of the young people had left the village for city life . Only middle-aged people and the old were left in the village .
Tian Yuantu cordially took his leave . On the way out of the village, he stopped to look at the two houses being built . They had to be the work of a professional designer . The two houses were connected and had eight spacious rooms with a slanted roof . The courtyard was so big that it could be changed into a basketball court .
Not bad . He walked around and nodded . He knew Sun Zhengrong wanted a house here because of his son’s disease and treatment . As for him, however, it was not necessary .
Wang Yao closed his clinic and returned home around 5 p . m . There was one more person at home .
Du Mingyang was in the kitchen helping Wang Yao’s mother cook .
“Hi, you came back,” Du Mingyang said with a smile .
“Hello!” Wang Yao smiled and shook hands with him .
“Xiao Du, you can chat with your uncle in the room . No need to help here,” Wang Yao’s mother said .
“What’s going on?” Wang Yao asked .
“I don’t know . He came just a bit earlier this afternoon and brought many gifts,” his mother said .
“Doe my sister know this?” Wang Yao asked .
“Probably not,” his mother said .
“I have to tell her about this,” he said .
“You don’t have to . I think he is a good boy, but I need more proof,” his mother said .
“Proof? Are you serious? If my sister disagree, what proof do you need?” Wang Yao asked .
The iron door suddenly opened like it was kicked open . A woman rushed in from outside .
“Sister, why did you come back today? It is not your holiday,” Wang Yao said .
“Stop jabbering . Where is Du Mingyang?” she asked .
Wang Yao nodded toward the other room .
Wang Ru rushed into the living room like a gust of wind . Du Mingyang was politely pouring some water for her father .
