In the evening, Wang Yao and his family had Peking ducks given by Lu Xian for dinner . The ducks tasted delicious .
“Hmm, tastes authentic,” Wang Yao said .
“Have you had authentic Peking duck before?” Wang Ru asked .
“Of course,” Wang Yao said .
He had been to Beijing several times . Chen Ying had taken him to all the famous restaurants with over 100 years of history .
Delicious!
Du Mingyang was a meat lover . He could eat a whole Peking duck . However, he was dating Wang Ru and considered a potential candidate to marry her . Therefore, he didn’t want to lose face in front of Wang Ru’s family . He tried not to eat too much .
Wang Yao’s family invited Du Mingyang to sleep over . Wang Ru didn’t say anything to object, so Du Mingyang said that he was happy to stay overnight . He slept in Wang Yao’s room since Wang Yao was going to stay on Nanshan Hill .
“Look, Yao, maybe I should go with you to Nanshan Hill,” Du Mingyang said as more of a courtesy .
“No, I’m used to stay on the hill by myself . You stay here,” Wang Yao said .
“It’s very cold outside . You probably should wear more clothes . Isn’t it cold on the hill?” Du Mingyang asked .
“No, I’m fine,” Wang Yao said . He left home wearing a long sleeve T-shirt and down jacket .
Given his fitness, he wouldn’t feel cold even if he was naked . He wore a down jacket so that his parents wouldn’t worry about him .
“He stays on the hill on such a cold night for her herbs?” Du Mingyang asked . “Those herbs must be very valuable . ”
“He spends every night on the hill . He’s used to it,” Wang Ru said . “And, it’s nice up there . ”
“What’s nice about the place?” Du Mingyang asked .
“I’ll take you there tomorrow,” Wang Ru said .
The next morning, Wang Yao received a call from his mother right after he had finished breathing exercises . His mother asked him to have breakfast at home . As he arrived home, he saw Du Mingyang busy setting up the table .
“Morning, Yao, You are back,” Du Mingyang said pleasantly .
“You seem to be part of the family now,” Wang Yao said .
“Will you have a lot of patients today?” Wang Ru asked during breakfast .
“It’s hard to say . But, today is a weekend day . I suppose a lot of people will come to the clinic,” Wang Yao said . Based on his previous experience, he had more patients during the weekend .
“I see . You see your patients first,” Wang Ru said .
“Do you need me?” Wang Yao asked .
“No,” Wang Ru said .
Wang Yao went to the clinic after breakfast . As he had expected, some patients had already been waiting outside .
Wang Ru helped her parents tidy up the house . Du Mingyang also helped with house chores and cleaned the kitchen .
“Mom, Dad, I’m going out with Mingyang,” Wang Ru said .
“OK,” Zhang Xiuying said .
They headed south toward Wang Yao’s clinic . They saw four cars and several motorbikes parked outside Wang Yao’s clinic . People were going in and out of the clinic .
“Hey, are they all here to see your brother?” Du Mingyang asked .
“Yes,” Wang Ru replied .
“Yao is doing really well,” Du Mingyang said . It was just past 9 a . m . . All the patients came by car, which meant they left their homes at about 8 a . m . It was a bit unusual for so many people to come to see a doctor in such an isolated village .
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to Nanshan Hill,” Wang Ru said .
“You don’t need to tell Yao before we go?” Du Mingyang asked .
“No,” Wang Ru said confidently .
They followed the path to go up to Nanshan Hill . The wind on the hill was freezing . It hurt when the wind blew on their faces . It was as if their faces were pricked by needles .
Both sides of the road were full of dropped leaves and weeds, which looked lifeless .
“This hill looks boring,” Du Mingyang said .
He didn’t get it why his future brother-in-law liked to spend every night on this cold and deserted hill . He doubted if there was any treasure buried on this hill .
“Hmm . ” Wang Ru didn’t say much .
Du Mingyang suddenly stopped after they had passed a small hill .
What?
Not far away, he saw a hill covered by green trees and plants, which was significantly different from the hills around it . Everywhere else was dark and yellow .
“Is it Nanshan Hill?” Du Mingyang subconsciously asked .
“Yes, let’s go,” Wang Ru said .
After they had arrived at Nanshan Hill, they felt the wind wasn’t blowing that hard . The closer they were to Wang Yao’s herbal field, the warmer Du Mingyang felt . He no longer felt cold when he stood outside the herbal field . He also saw the trees, which were as thick as a child’s wrist, could move .
“Dear me! The trees are moving!” Du Mingyang exclaimed .
He suddenly felt dizzy .
“Be careful, don’t stare at those trees . ” Wang Ru reminded him gently .
“What’s going on?” Du Mingyang asked . He looked at Wang Ru with surprise on his face .
“I don’t know . Yao said he had grown something in the herbal field that worked with the trees to cause hallucination,” Wang Ru said .
“Gee! This is amazing,” Du Mingyang said .
Wang Yao had blocked the entrance to the herbal field and set off the battle array . Wang Ru had been to the herbal field several times, but she still couldn’t find the entrance . She became dizzy due to the moving trees .
She and Du Mingyang could see the herbal field through the trees . The herbs in the field were growing very well .
What the hell is this? Du Mingyang saw a dog, which was as big as a cow . The dog stood there looking at them .
“Let’s go, we can’t get in,” Wang Ru said .
Du Mingyang was already in shock . He didn’t want to be locked inside the herbal field . He wondered what his future brother-in-law had been doing in the herbal field . Everything on Nanshan Hill was so mysterious . He felt cold again after he left Nanshan Hill .
“Why did I feel so comfortable when I was on Nanshan Kill? It was as if spring had come,” Du Mingyang said . He now felt the big difference in temperature between Nanshan Hill and other places .
“Yao said the trees he planted on Nanshan Hill can adjust the weather around his herbal field . That’s why it is so warm up there,” Wang Ru said .
Actually, she was not convinced herself . The explanation didn’t make any sense to her .
“Oh, I see,” Du Mingyang said . He didn’t ask any other questions . However, he had found that his future brother-in-law was not an ordinary person .
When they passed the clinic again, they found there were more cars parked outside . The cars they saw earlier had already left . Different cars were parked outside the clinic, including two luxurious vehicles .
What’s happening? Rich people also come here? Du Mingyang wondered .
Although the public had some negative opinions on some rich people, one had to admit that a lot of people became wealthy due to their vision and determination . They were different from the general public . They were tougher than ordinary people, which was why they became wealthy .
Often, the more rich a person was, the more they cared about their health .
“What does Yao specialize in?” Du Mingyang asked .
“I’m not sure . He seems to know everything,” Wang Ru said .
“Cool,” Du Mingyang replied .
“Why did you ask?” Wang Ru asked .
“Nothing special . I’m just curious,” Du Mingyang said .
Wang Yao was busy seeing patients the whole morning . He didn’t even get a chance to drink water . It was after 1 p . m . by the time he had seen the last patient off .
After making a few phone calls, Du Mingyang came to the clinic . “Yao, would you like to have lunch?”
“Yes, just wait a second . ” Wang Yao cleaned up his clinic . He then went home with Du Mingyang .
“Have you been busy?” Du Mingyang asked .
“Yes, a lot of patients came,” Wang Yao asked .
“May I ask what you specialize in?” Du Mingyang asked .
“Hard to say . I see all kinds of patients,” Wang Yao replied after thinking for a while .
“All kinds of patients?” Du Mingyang asked with surprise .
“Yeah, why do you ask?” Wang Yao asked .
“Oh, no reason . I’m just curious,” Du Mingyang said .
Zhang Xiuying cooked a banquet for lunch . Wang Yao drank a small amount of wine with his father .
“Yao, is there any restrictions when you see patients?” Du Mingyang asked .
“There are exceptions,” Wang Yao said .
“What exceptions?” Du Mingyang asked .
“If it’s more than six conditions, I won’t see a patient . I also don’t see anyone I don’t like,” Wang Yao said while smiling .
“Oh, I see,” Du Mingyang replied .
“Why are you asking Yao this?” Wang Ru questioned him in a low voice .
“I want to introduce some patients to Yao,” Du Mingyang said .
“You don’t need to,” Wang Ru anxiously said . She knew her brother well . Wang Yao was neither interested in having a lot of patients or making money .
“I mean it,” Du Mingyang said seriously .
“Okay, fine . I know,” Wang Ru said .
There were not many patients in the afternoon, just two elderly people . They came with their children . Their conditions were not serious . Wang Yao provided them massage therapy .
“Will you go back tonight?” Zhang Xiuying asked Du Mingyang .
“Yes,” Du Mingyang said .
“Would you like to stay for one more night?” Although Wang Ru and Du Mingyang came home every week, Zhang Xiuying wanted to keep her future son-in-law at her house as long as possible .
“No, thank you,” Du Mingyang replied .
“Hey, Mingyang, can I have a word?” Wang Yao and Du Mingyang came out of the house .
“I can see that you like my sister,” Wang Yao said .
“Of course, I really want to marry her,” Du Mingyang replied .
“Good, you must treat her well,” Wang Yao said .
“Don’t worry, I will,” Du Mingyang promised as he patted his chest .
