“Dad, I’m sorry,” He Xiaofeng said in tears .
After knowing she had been taking drugs, her father was furious . But, he didn’t touch her . This made He Xiaofeng feel guilty . She wanted to slap herself .
“Well, get up . The floor is very cold,” her father said with a big sigh .
He Xiaofeng stood up and sat on the sofa .
Both her and Sun Honglin’s family were thinking about how to help their children .
Sun Dacheng had found a scapegoat to take responsibility of the traffic accident his son was involved in . He knew people who could help him deal with such kinds of things . However, getting his son clean would be a big problem for him .
“Maybe we should send him to a drug rehabilitation center,” Sun Dacheng said .
“Are you serious? How can Honglin survive in those horrible places?” Sun Honglin’s mother said . She didn’t want her son to suffer in a rehabilitation center .
“Do you have a better idea?” Sun Dacheng asked grumpily .
“Hey, watch your tone!” His wife would not be bullied .
“Well, Mom, we’ve gone to see a doctor before . He said he could help us get clean,” Sun Honglin said in a low voice .
“He can help you guys get clean? What happened then? Have you guys received any treatment?” his mother asked .
“No, he wouldn’t treat us,” Sun Honglin said .
“Why not? You didn’t pay him enough?” his mother asked .
“No . He insisted that we had to bring our parents to his clinic,” Sun Honglin said .
“What?” His parents were surprised to hear this . They didn’t expect such a weird demand from a doctor, who they thought should take the chance to make money .
“Have you and Xiaofeng been to Baozhan’s home?” his mother asked .
“Yes, but his mother said he had gone to his grandma’s place,” Sun Honglin said .

“Bullshit! He must be at home . They just don’t want their son to hang out with you and Xiaofeng,” Sun Dacheng said . “Let’s go to Lianshan to see that doctor this afternoon . ”
“Well, I think we should call first . That doctor doesn’t have a good temper,” Sun Honglin said .
The next morning, as if they had made arrangements, Sun Honglin and He Xiaofeng came to Wang Yao’s clinic at the same time with their parents . They all arrived early enough, but some of Wang Yao’s patients had arrived even earlier . Since it was weekend, a lot of people had time to visit Wang Yao .
He had gained a good reputation in and out of Lianshan . A lot of people knew there was a fantastic young doctor in a small village in Lianshan . More and more people came to his clinic .
The waiting room was full of people . Wang Yao saw them one by one . Whoever came earlier got to see Wang Yao first .
Most of the patients had minor complaints such as headache and leg pain . It was not challenging for Wang Yao to treat them . He saw each patient, prescribed formulas or provided treatment on the spot . Two of the patients got better immediately .
“Well done, young man!” A man in his 60s gave Wang Yao a thumb up .
“I’m flattered, Sir . Make sure you keep warm in such a cold weather . Don’t over exercise,” Wang Yao said . This patient seemed to be keen in exercise . His leg pain was related to the weather and overexertion . .
“Hello, Ma’am,” Wang Yao said to the next patient .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . I’ve been feeling numb on this side of my head . The muscle here is pulling my eye,” said a woman in her 50s .
“I see . Let me take a look,” Wang Yao said .
After checking the woman over he said, “Your blood pressure is pretty high . ”
“You are right, but I’ve been taking medications,” the woman replied .
“The numbness in your head and pain around your eyes are closely related to high blood pressure . You need to get your blood pressure under control,” Wang Yao said .
“It seems the medication I take doesn’t work,” the woman said .
“It’s not easy to control your blood pressure . You also need to be careful with your diet,” Wang Yao said . “Look, I’ll prescribe a formula for you . See if that works . ”
Wang Yao had treated a patient with high blood pressure when he worked at Renhe clinic . He had prescribed a formula, which had been effective for that patient . The formula contained uncaria, kudzu, skullcap root, prunella, and licorice .
Wang Yao packed these herbs and reminded the woman of the precautions she should take in relation to her lifestyle, especially her diet . He reinforced that hypertension is a minor condition but could cause other serious illnesses .

After Wang Yao had seen those two patients, it was Sun Honglin’s and He Xiaofeng’s turn .
“Here you are,” Wang Yao said with a smile as he looked at the two youngsters .
“Good morning, Dr . Wang,” He Xiaofeng said politely . She was actually a nice and polite girl .
“Hello,” Sun Honglin said, who was much less polite .
“Take a seat . Let’s talk about your condition,” Wang Yao said .
“Dr . Wang, can you help the two kids get clean?” Sun Honglin’s mother asked gently .
“Yes, but I need your support,” Wang Yao replied .
He repeated what he said to Du Baozhan’s parents .
“Well, do you need to think about it?” Wang Yao asked .
“No problem . We will cooperate with you,” Sun Honglin’s father said .
“Good, wait here . I’ll brew a decoction for you two,” Wang Yao said .
Two families, six people, were waiting in the clinical room . Wang Yao went to a different room to brew the decoction .
“Is this doctor reliable?” Sun Honglin’s mother asked .
“Did you notice the two patients before us? They seemed to be very happy with the doctor,” Sun Honglin’s father said .
“He is a very good doctor . He cured Xiaofeng’s grandma,” He Xiaofeng’s father said .
They waited in the room for over an hour .
“How come it’s taking so long?” Sun Honglin’s father complained .
A moment later, Wang Yao came back with two porcelain bottles filled with decoction .

“This is the herbal decoction for you two,” Wang Yao said .
He then told them how to take the decoction .
“You must not give them any drugs when they have a withdrawal . Do whatever you can to control them,” Wang Yao said to the parents .
The four parents all promised . They were also surprised to hear the price of the decoction .
“That much?” Sun Honglin’s father asked .
“So?” Wang Yao replied .
“That’s fine,” Sun Honglin’s father said .
They paid the fee, although they were a bit reluctant .
“How come it costs so much?” Sun Honglin’s mother asked .
“Exactly . One small bottle of decoction costs $10,000?” He Xiaofeng’s mother said .
They started to complain about the fee after they had left the clinic . Although they were all well-off, they couldn’t accept the price of the decoction .
“Never mind, we know he’s based here . If he was a fraud, we would get him to pay us back,” Sun Honglin’s father said . They were not the kind of people who could be easily bullied .
Du Baozhan was in his home in Zhu .
“Son, how do you feel?” his mother asked gently .
“I feel good,” he replied .
Given his experience, it wouldn’t take such a long time to have an absence of withdrawal symptoms . This indicated that the decoction from Wang Yao was effective .
“How often do you normally have a withdrawal?” Du Baozhan’s father asked . He hadn’t been to work lately since he was worried about his son .
“It’s hard to say . If it’s not too bad, I try to put up with it,” Du Baozhan said . “I feel much better lately . I’m no longer agitated . ”
“Good . After you finish this bottle, we’ll take you to see Dr . Wang again,” his father said . He and his wife felt slightly relieved .
Du Baozhan got text messages from his two friends after he had returned to his bedroom .
“Have you gone to see Dr . Wang?” Sun Honglin asked in his message .
Du Baozhan knew they had come to his home, but he didn’t know they had a car accident or that the police were involved until he received their text .
“Let’s focus on the treatment for now,” Du Baozhan replied .
He didn’t say much . It was not a bad thing for them to separate for a while .
Wang Yao almost didn’t have a break in the morning . Zhou Wuyi came to the clinic with Zhou Xiong’s company right before noon . They waited patiently .
“You have so many patients today,” Zhou Wuyi said .
“Yes, maybe because it’s the weekend,” Wang Yao said with a smile . “Please take a seat . I’ll take a look at you . ”
“I’m in no hurry . You can take a break,” Zhou Wuyi replied .
“I’m fine . I’m not tired,” Wang Yao said . .
It was a bit complicated to treat Zhou Wuyi . Wang Yao gave him a decoction to take and then gave him a massage . The massage facilitated the absorption of the decoction . This kind of treatment was to unblock the meridians, expel toxins out of Zhou Wuyi’s body, and improve blood flow .
After each treatment session, Zhou Wuyi would feel much better and more comfortable . The comfortable feeling also longer and longer with each treatment session .
“You have recovered well,” Wang Yao said .
“Yes, I can feel it myself . I took your advice to read some scriptures . My thoughts have changed a lot,” Zhou Wuyi said . Initially he had to force himself to read the scriptures . He had started to enjoy reading them . He liked the world described in them .
“This is a good thing . A calm mind will lead to smooth breathing . A peaceful mind will lead to a healthy body,” Wang Yao said .
The principal was simple . Everybody knew it . A lot of people would say they knew the importance of a calm and peaceful mind, but not many of them could achieve it .
