“What a fantastic trip!” said Tian Yuantu in the car .
He thought the trip was more meaningful than signing a multi-million dollar contract, especially when he saw how the kids were so happy . The satisfaction he gained through charity and business was totally different .
“Shall we come back in the future?” said Tian Yuantu .
“Sure,” said Wei Hai .
He was looking at the photos of students on his phone . The students in the photos were wearing new clothes . They all had bright smiles on their faces .
What lovely kids!
Meanwhile, somewhere in Qi province, a skinny young man was kneeling on the ground . His body was shaking . There was a red handprint on his face .
Two people were standing next to him . One was holding a rolling pin . His face turned red due to agitation . The other one was holding the young man’s hand . They were the young man’s parents .
“You, you! How did you become a drug addict?” asked the young man’s father .
Pah! He threw the rolling pin onto the ground . The rolling pin broke into two parts . He put his hand on his chest, then slowly fell into a chair . His face was distorted .
“Dad! Dad!” cried the skinny young man .
“Hubby!” said his mother .
The two of them went to fetch the medication and water immediately . It took a while for the middle-aged man to feel better .
“I’m sorry, Dad, I’m so sorry!” cried the skinny young man .
“Alas! How did I come to have such a useless son!” said the middle-aged man with a big sigh .
Although he was angry, he knew it wouldn’t make any difference to punish his son . He needed to help his son get clean . After all, the young man was his own child .
“You should go to the rehabilitation center,” said the middle-aged man after thinking for a while .
“Rehabilitation center?” said the middle-aged woman in shock . “No, my baby cannot stay in that horrible place . He won’t survive . ”
“Shut up! It was all because of you! You spoiled him, so of course, he ended up being an addict!” shouted the middle-aged man in anger . He was agitated, and he started to look terrible again .
“Please don’t be mad at me,” said his wife immediately . She was already upset about her son . She wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her husband . Otherwise, her family would be in turmoil .
“Dad, I know a doctor, one who can help me get clean,” said the skinny young man .

“A doctor who can help you get clean?” His apparently didn’t believe what he said . “Where did you get this idea? If so, what are the rehabilitation center for?”
“It’s true, the doctor stopped Honglin’s withdrawal symptoms easily . I witnessed it,” said the skinny young man .
“Sun Honglin? How many times have I told you? Don’t hang out with Sun Honglin . Why don’t you listen to me? Who else have you been hanging out with? He Xiaofeng?” asked his father .
“Yes,” said the skinny young man .
“Neither of them are decent people . Clearly, you have poor taste in friends,” said the middle-aged man with a sigh .
“Darling, our son said that doctor could help them get clean . Shall we give it a try?” asked his wife .
“So you asked me for money a few days ago to pay for the doctor? Why are you still addicted to drugs?” It suddenly occurred to the middle-aged man that his son had asked him for 30 thousand yuan .
“He didn’t treat us,” said the skinny young man .
“Why not?” asked his father .
“Well, because he said we have to bring our family members to his clinic,” said the skinny young man .
“Really?” said his father with surprise .
It suddenly occurred to him that maybe the doctor was reliable .
“Where is the doctor?” asked his father .
“Lianshan,” said the skinny young man .
“Lianshan? Where did you hear about him?” asked his father .
“I heard of him from Xiaofeng . He cured Xiaofeng’s grandma,” said the skinny young man .
“That doctor?” said the middle-aged man with surprise . He had also heard of Wang Yao .
“Yes, you know him?” said the skinny young man .
“Off we go . Let’s go to see him,” said his father .
“But Dad, do you need to rest for a while first?” As a father, the middle-aged man actually cared about his son very much . However, a father’s way of communicating love could be subtle .
“Let’s go . We leave right now,” said the middle-aged man .
They went to Wang Yao’s clinic by car under the direction of the skinny young man . However, they saw the sign sticking on the door of the clinic, which said Wang Yao was away at the moment .

“He is away?”
The three people in the car were surprised .
“Bad timing,” said the middle-aged man . “Has he left you his contact number?”
“Yes, but only the landline of the clinic,” said the skinny young man .
“Since we are here already, maybe we should wait for a bit longer,” suggested his father .
However, Wang Yao didn’t show up because he was still on his way back to Lianshan from Qinzhou .
“It seems he won’t come here today . Let’s go back home,” said the skinny young man’s father .
“Okay,” said the skinny young man .
“Let your mother drive,” said his father .
It took Wang Yao and his friends three days to drive from Jia County to Lianshan . By the time they had arrived at Lianshan, it was late afternoon . The fours of them had dinner in a restaurant in town, then Wang Yao drove each of his friends home .
Everyone was exhausted after a tedious trip except for Wang Yao
When Wang Yao had arrived at home, it was nearly 9 pm . He went inside as he saw the light was still on . He wanted to tell his parents he was back so that they wouldn’t worry about him .
“Dad! Mom! I’m back . You haven’t gone to bed?” asked Wang Yao .
“No, we heard your car . You should have stayed in a hotel overnight . Try not to drive at night,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“We actually arrived at Lianshan in the afternoon . We had dinner in town,” said Wang Yao .
“I see . Is everything alright?” asked Zhang Xiuying .
“Yes, let me show you the pictures,” said Wang Yao .
He took out his phone and showed his mother photos he took with the children in Jia County .
Zhang Xiuying and Wang Fenghua looked at those pictures happily .
“Look at those kids, they are so lovely,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Mingbao is still there,” said Wang Yao .

“By the way, several people came to your clinic in the last few days,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Did they come here?” said Wang Yao as he frowned .
“No, they just parked their cars outside your clinic . They didn’t come here,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“That’s good,” said Wang Yao .
He then gave each of his parents a massage . At the same time, he told them about his trip . By the time he had finished giving them a massage, it was nearly 10 pm .
“I’m going to the hill,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Nanshan Hill was quiet and distant at night .
San Xian heard Wang Yao coming, and ran all the way to the foot of the hill to welcome him . He wagged his tail happily .
“Hi, San Xian,” said Wang Yao .
A person and a dog went up the hill together . A moment later, a pesized light appeared on the hill .
The next morning, Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill early to have breakfast at home . He went to his clinic right after breakfast in case any patients were waiting for him .
As expected, five patients had come to the clinic in the morning . Some of them had a headache, some of them had leg pains . All of them were simple and straightforward conditions which were easy to treat . Wang Yao prescribed a formula for three of those five patients and provided massage therapy to the other two .
He finished all the treatments at 10 am, then he started to take notes on the day .
Ding! His phone on the table rang .
“Hello?Yes…Speaking…Yes, I’m in the clinic this afternoon . I’ll see you later . ” Wang Yao hung up the phone .
It was the middle-aged man who called, the father of one of those three drug addicts . He wanted Wang Yao to treat his son and called to make an appointment to come in the afternoon .
Finally, one of them told his family .
The skinny young man and his parents came to the village again in the afternoon .
Wang Yao had been waiting for them .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” said the skinny young man .
“Hello, please come in,” said Wang Yao .
“Dr . Wang, I suppose you know what’s wrong with my son,” said the skinny young man’s mother .
“Yes,” said Wang Yao .
“Can you help him?” asked the skinny young man’s mother .
“Yes, but I need your support,” said Wang Yao .
“That is not an issue . We will work with you to get our son clean,” said the skinny young man’s mother .
“Good . I want to discuss with you my treatment plan first . I will prescribe a formula to prolong the gap between the symptoms of his withdrawal, until he has no desire for drugs . However, this will be a long process . Make sure you keep a close eye on your son . He is not to touch drugs during this treatment,” said Wang Yao seriously .
“Sure, we’ll do whatever you say,” said the skinny young man’s mother immediately .
Wang Yao had a glance at the mother .
“Frankly speaking, I don’t think you can control your son, but your husband can . ” Wang Yao pointed at the middle-aged man sitting next to the woman .
One’s appearance revealed one’s heart . The mother was clearly a soft person, who had been spoiling her son . On the other hand, the father appeared to have more authority .
“However, you have a heart problem . Do you have a history of heart disease?” asked Wang Yao .
“How do you know?” asked the middle-aged man with surprise .
“I can take a look at you, too,” said Wang Yao .
“That would be great,” said the middle-aged man .
“Let’s talk about your son first,” said Wang Yao .
“Okay . I guarantee you that we will keep a close eye on him . I’ve decided to hire someone to watch him 24/7,” said the middle-aged man .
“Okay, I’ll fetch you the formula . wait here,” said Wang Yao .
He had come up with a formula, which contained the detox grass as the dominating herb, and ganoderma and licorice as the supporting herbs .
One of the rooms in the clinic was specifically used to brew decoctions . Soon, the clinic was filled with the smell of herbs .
“Is he brewing a herbal decoction?” The skinny young man’s mother wondered .
