One pill saved her baby .
“What do you have?” asked Wang Yao .
“A baby girl,” said Sha Zhihua .
“Good, girls are close to their mothers,” said Wang Yao, smiling .
“Thank you,” said Sha Zhihua .
After chatting with Sha Zhihua for a short while, Wang Yao started to treat Zhou Wuyi .
He gave Zhou Wuyi the decoction which contained Meridian Unblocking Powder as the main component . Half an hour later, he gave Zhou Wuyi a massage to soothe and unblock his meridians .
Zhou Wuyi was wrapped by a warm feeling, as if he was having a sunbath, or submerging into a hot spring .
“So pleasant!” said Zhou Wuyi .
The comfortable feeling didn’t disappear when Wang Yao finished the treatment session . It lasted for several hours following the treatment .
Zhou Xiong invited Wang Yao for dinner after the treatment session, but Wang Yao turned him down politely .
It was Friday, time for Wang Yao to be with his family .
“Shall we catch up on another day?” asked Zhou Xiong .
“Okay, another day . My treat,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Ru came back home in the afternoon with a very happy Du Mingyang . Du Mingyao still bought a lot of gifts for Zhang Xiuying and Wang Fenghua .
He didn’t stay for long after dinner .
Wang Ru seemed to be quiet during dinner .
What is happening?
Wang Yao didn’t know how to feel about Wang Ru’s change of personality .
Du Mingyang left right after 8 pm . Wang Ru walked him out and talked with him for quite a long while .
“Sis, what’s wrong with you?” asked Wang Yao after Wang Ru had come back inside the house .
“Why did you ask?” said Wang Ru .
“You acted like a lady during dinner,” said Wang Yao .
“Isn’t it a good thing?” said Wang Ru .
“It is a good thing, but I feel weird about it,” said Wang Yao . “Come sit down, let me take a look at you . ”

“Stop talking nonsense!” said Wang Ru as she was glaring at her brother .
“Haha, I know you were faking it,” said Wang Yao .
“Shut up . I need to use your computer,” said Wang Ru .
“What for?” asked Wang Yao .
“Online shopping!” said Wang Ru .
It was a bit gloomy the next morning . The wind from north was blowing hard .
Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei went to Lianshan from Haiqu .
Unlike Haiqu’s flat physical feature, Lianshan had a lot of small hills, which stretched out on both sides of the main road .
“The person you mentioned lives in this small town?” asked Lu Xiaomei .
“Yes . To be precise, he lives in a village,” said Su Changhe .
“In a village?” Lu Xiaomei was surprised .
“Yes, I met him by accident . He cured one of my patients, whom I didn’t think would survive . Actually, he’s almost cured another one, whom I believed was beyond cure,” said Su Changhe .
“Unbelievable!” said Lu Xiaomei .
“Right?” said Su Changhe .
The bus was running fast on the highway . The traffic in Lianshan was much better than it was in Beijing .
Lu Xiaomei’s mood already seemed to be better .
The bus soon came off the main road and turned onto the path between hills . The surface of the new road was quite smooth . The road was wide enough for different types of vehicles, much better than the old road .
“Here we are,” said Su Changhe .
The bus went into the village, and stopped at the southern end of the village .
“Hmmm, nice building,” said Lu Xiaomei .
“Yeah, you are an expert on buildings,” said Su Changhe .
Lu Xiaomei walked around the clinic after she got out of the bus .
“Hmmm, it must be designed by an excellent architect . ” Lu Xiaomei thought the style of building seemed familiar .
“By an excellent architect?” said Su Changhe .

“Yes, Su style,” said Lu Xiaomei .
“Let’s go inside . The courtyard is quite nice,” said Su Changhe .
Lu Xiaomei noticed that the courtyard was well arranged as soon as she stepped in . There were different types of plants in the courtyard . Some of them were bald, the others were still blooming .
“What do you think?” asked Su Changhe .
“It’s nice and classy!” said Lu Xiaomei without thinking . “The design is really beautiful . ”
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” said Su Changhe .
“Hello, Professor . Su,” said Wang Yao .
Wow!
Lu Xiaomei was surprised to see the doctor that her old schoolmate recommended and took her all the way to see was such a young man .
She was impressed with Wang Yao’s good manners .
After everyone had sat down, Su Changhe briefed Wang Yao on Lu Xiaomei’s situation . He didn’t hide anything . Wang Yao needed to know everything about what had happened to Lu Xiaomei .
“I see, let me take a look at you first,” said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao had a good look at Lu Xiaomei .
Since Lu Xiaomei’s disease was caused by virus, it was considered a toxin in Traditional Chinese Medicine and was, as such, relatively easy to treat .
Wang Yao had a few licorice roots with a detoxication effect in his herbal field .
“How is she?” asked Su Changhe .
“Not too bad,” said Wang Yao .
“That’s good . ” Su Changhe breathed a sigh of relief .
“Not too bad?” repeated Lu Xiaomei .
She was surprised to hear Wang Yao’s comment . Ever since she had gotten sick, she had done some research on her condition . After all, she was responsible for her own health . All the information she found online indicated that her condition was very hard-to-treat . In addition, she had two different conditions .
She didn’t expect such a comment from Wang Yao, who made it sound easy . She was wondering if Wang Yao was truly that capable or just a fraud .
“How long are you two going to stay here for?” asked Wang Yao .
“Well, does the treatment take long?” asked Su Changhe .
“I will brew several decoctions for her to take first . She will need to come back to be checked on after,” said Wang Yao .
“We can stay a bit longer here,” said Su Changhe after thinking for a moment .

“That’s fine . I have a good idea of her condition . Come back to get the decoction tomorrow,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Su Changhe .
“Dr . Wang, Can I ask you a question?” asked Lu Xiaomei .
“Of course,” said Wang Yao .
“Who designed this clinic?” asked Lu Xiaomei .
“A professor,” said Wang Yao, .
“Professor? Can you tell me his name?” asked Lu Xiaomei .
“He is from Tongji University . His surname is Lu,” said Wang Yao .
“No wonder!” said Lu Xiaomei, as if she had just realized something . No wonder the style of the building was so familiar to her .
“Professor Lu, the famous architect?” said Su Changhe with surprise .
“Yes, him . How did you know him?” asked Lu Xiaomei .
“He is one of my patients,” said Wang Yao .
“Oh, I see . ” Lu Xiaomei sounded calm, even though she was very surprised .
It seemed that Wang Yao was truly an extraordinary doctor, otherwise Professor Lu wouldn’t have come all the way here to see him . Of course she didn’t know Wang Yao had only seen him by chance .
“Thank you, Dr . Wang, we have to go back to the town center now,” said Su Changhe .
“Okay, come back to get the decoction tomorrow afternoon,” said Wang Yao .
“Sure, see you later,” said Su Changhe .
“System, is the patient’s condition considered difficult-to-treat?” asked Wang Yao immediately after Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei had left .
Yes .
“Great!” Wang Yao was thrilled by the system’s response .
He also remembered the sexual transmission disease case in The Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases .
“There was a scholar whose surname was Xu . He liked drinking and visiting brothels . Eventually he was infected by a sexually transmitted disease . His body was covered by ulcers . He went to see a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner . The practitioner gave him a decoction and acupuncture treatment . He got better after three months treatment . ”
This was a case in which the practitioner cured a patient with a sexually transmitted disease successfully .
The formula the practitioner prescribed included radix sophora flavescens, Smilax glabra Roxb, Podophyllum hexandrum…
The whole formula was written below .
I can probably use this formula .
The virus in Lu Xiaomei’s body was still in its incubation period . The symptoms hadn’t appeared . This was the best time to treat it .
Based on the formula in The Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases, Wang Yao added two licorice roots, Bajiaotong and Lingshanji .
The two licorice roots could clear away heat and toxic substances and eliminate pathogenic factors .
The common herbs contained in the formula were all available in the herbal field .
The weather tomorrow?
Wang Yao looked up at the sky when he was standing in the courtyard .
The weather tomorrow would be fine .
Meanwhile, in Bingzhou, which was thousands miles away from Lianshan, Long Yunfei was standing at the balcony . He held onto the rails and looked through the window .
He could now walk for short distance when holding onto furniture . He had some sensation back in his legs on the same day when he returned from Haiqu . He could move his toes the next day, then gradually improved . At the moment he could bear his own weight and walk a few steps .
Although it was dark and cloudy outside, he was in good mood .
Soon he could go out and didn’t need to be stuck in a wheelchair .
The days of being wheelchair-bound were a torture to Long Yunfei as well as a test . He took the chance to read a lot of medical books and published some high quality articles in medical magazines . He had picked up his old profession and spent a lot of time with his family . This was sort of blessing in disguise .
As for revenge, he had such thoughts previously, but now, he completely gave them up .
It was no good to be Wang Yao’s enemy .
It was snowing in Beijing, the second snowy day in winter . The snow was not heavy .
Su Xiaoxue was sitting in the courtyard and looking up at the sky . She let the icy cold snowflakes drop on her face
“Miss, please come inside, it’s too cold outside,” said one of the maids .
“I’m fine . I’ve got thick clothes on . I want to stay here a big longer,” said Su Xiaoxue with a smile .
The maid took out a jacket to drape it over Su Xiaoxue’s shoulders .
“You’ve just gotten better, I don’t want you to catch a cold,” said the maid .
“Thank you . What do you think the Great Wall looks like now?” asked Su Xiaoxue .
