He had received professional training and was a gifted student .

“The basic treatment rationales of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are totally different,” Wang Yao said .
“Yes, I see,” Pan Jun said . “In fact, I’ve ever learned traditional Chinese medicine . ”
“Really?” Wang Yao was surprised .
“Yes, my grandpa is a county doctor, and my father is a traditional Chinese doctor,” Pan Jun replied . “It was handed down from the older generations in my family . ”
Wang Yao was a bit amazed .
“Ah, I’m not greedy . I just want to learn your massage skills,” Pan Jun said .
He had acquired some traditional medicine knowledge from his father when he learned Western medicine, so he knew it thoroughly . Now, it would be hard if he wanted to learn from the beginning . Plus, he did not have enough vigor . He thought that it might be comparatively easy to just learn massage, though he knew Wang Yao had varied medical skills .
“You have to recognize acupoints before you learn massage . Can you?” Wang Yao asked .
“Ah, I’d like to learn it,” Pan Jun replied .
“Then, go ahead,” Wang Yao said .
“So I guess you agree?” Pan Jun asked .
“I can teach you some, but it depends on you how much you can get,” Wang Yao replied .
“Thanks! I guess you are my teacher now . ” Pan Jun saluted him earnestly .
“Ah, we are friends, and you are not my apprentice, yet,” Wang Yao said .
“How can that be? We cannot discard etiquette,” Pan Jun said .
Wang Yao tried to refuse him, but Pan Jun still saluted him again and again . Therefore, Wang Yao had his first apprentice . He did not hurry to teach Pan Jun about massage . He could not even accurately recognize the acupoints yet .
“You need to learn how to recognize acupoints first . ” Wang Yao recommended some books to Pan Jun . Fundamental rationale was required before any practice .
They stayed at the home of the old man for a while and then said their goodbyes .

“How long it will take before my uncle recovers?” Pan Jun asked .
“About seven to 10 days,” Wang Yao replied .
Part of the blocked channels and collaterals in the old man’s body had been already dredged due to the acupuncture treatment, which was good news . But, his channels and collaterals were fragile and weak because of his age . Wang Yao had to gradually make progress based on the present treatment methods or it could become worse .
“As long as he can recover,” Pan Jun said . “Like what my aunt said, it was a long shot that he could rehabilitate and be normal again . It will be satisfactory as long as he take cares of himself . ”
“Then, we can’t see it as recovery,” Wang Yao said and smiled .
He would try his best to treat the old man . It was not hard for the old man to recover based on his present conditions .
After leaving the village, Wang Yao returned home . He ate some food and then went to the clinic . One car was parked outside it, which meant someone was waiting for him .
“It is you,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao had some familiarity with this man . He was the father of the young man who had resisted his drug addiction through his own will .
“Hello, Doctor Wang,” the man said .
“Come on in,” Wang Yao said . He opened the door and let him in . “Are you here for your son?”
“No, I’m here for myself,” the man said .
“You? Is your heart not good?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, my heart is not good,” the middle-aged man replied .
He had suffered from heart disease for many years and had taken medicine for years . His mood didn’t fluctuate much . He was neither too sad, happy, or angry . He had to be cautious about his diet and avoid being stimulated . It greatly affected the quality of his life . He worried every day that he might die of the disease at any time .
Last time, Doctor Wang surprised him because he said he suffered from heart disease after just a quick look at him . After his son’s drug addiction, he knew this young doctor was a professional . He hoped the doctor might treat him .
“What do you think of my disease?” the mans asked .
“Please wait for a while,” Wang Yao said as he began to check his pulse for diagnosis . “You must have had much rough time when you were young . ”

“Yes,” the middle-aged man replied .
His family was poor when he was young, but he wanted to stand out . It mustn’t have been easy . He went to the town from the county, but he did not have any knowledge or skills . To make money, he had to sell his labor no matter how painstaking his work was . He had to withstand exposure, deprivation, and hunger . His life changed when he met a person who brought him chances . Now, he had a family and his career, but his body was also affected by chronic diseases .
It was reasonable that being exhausted led to concerns . There were quite a few people who sacrificed health for money in the first half of their life and spent their money on health in the second half .
“I can cure your disease,” Wang Yao said .
“Really?” The middle-aged man was startled . He had not felt better and was actually getting worse by taking medicine . He had consulted experts in many big hospitals and taken a lot of medicine .
“Of course . You need to return in three days,” Wang Yao said . He could cure it but not now . He needed some medicine .
“Good, I will,” the man said . He paid for the treatment and left .
As for those who came to see him for treatment, Wang Yao charged them differently . Though he did not lack of money, as a doctor, he had to abide by some rules .
Another day quickly passed by .
“Your grandma recovered from her disease . She said she feels much better,” Zhang Xiuying said during supper .
“Ah, that’s good . I’ll go see her when I’m free,” Wang Yao replied .
“Did Tong Wei go?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“She’s gone . She left days ago,” Wang Yao replied .
“When will she come back?” his mother asked .
“It might be at the end of this year,” Wang Yao said .
“Should we settle something?” Zhang Xiuying asked
“We’ll talk about it later,” Wang Yao said with hesitation .
Wang Yao went up to the hill in the night . It was quiet on the hill . Some licorice roots had grown up to nearly 4 inches beside the water pond . Changyang opened pores on the heart, supplemented five internal organs, and removed obstruction among nine apertures in the body . It was a medium licorice root .

It should be useful for heart disease . He was preparing a prescription based on changyang . He would have to see whether it would work .
He then chanted scripture books until midnight .
In Jing, the morning air was a bit polluted . Many people had dry throats and pain when they got up .
Lu Xiaomei awoke early to go to hospital to check how her body was doing .
Ring! Ring! She received a text from Xue Chongyang, who had been to the U . S . and hoped she would go . She did not reply . She went to the hospital after breakfast . Su Changhe was waiting for her .
She checked in for the whole afternoon .
“It’s good!” They were really happy at the response of Director Sun, who again prescribed some medicine to Lu Xiaomei .
“Continue to take it, and you might completely recover from your disease . ” He thought his medicine worked, so he privately recorded this medical case and regarded it as a reference . As for the truth, Su Changhe did not tell him, of course .
“Good, thanks . ” A smile appeared on Lu Xiaomei’s face because she saw the hope .
“The medicine Doctor Wang prescribed was used up, so I plan to go to Lianshan tomorrow or the day after tomorrow,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Do you want me to go with you?” Su Changhe asked .
“No thanks,” Lu Xiaomei said . “I’ve already troubled you so much . ”
On Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao was preparing to decoct medicine . Cassia bark, glossy ganoderma, kudzu vine root, ginseng, changyang… He had changed an ancient prescription in Treatise on Miscellaneous Disease by adding changyang .
On the mountain, chilling wind blew like it was roaring . In the room, it was warm like in the spring . The firewood was burning evenly .
Wang Yao quietly looked at the soup in the multifunctional pot for herbs, adding the herbs based on sequence . The color of soup was changing, as well as the taste of it . He couldn’t be flighty and impetuous when boiling down medicine because it was a process in which varied functions of the herbs harmonized .
Though it was sunny outside, it was too cold to be out and about . Yet, on the mountain road, a man in his 60s was wandering around .
He was a bit fat, and his pace was strong . It seemed that his walking style was different from common people . It was as if he proceeded based on some walking patterns .
“Ah!” He looked at a distant piece of verdant green on the hill, which was very eye-catching, like an oasis in desert .
He was quite curious, so he walked toward it . He walked a long distant in a short time, even though he walked slowly .
He walked to the hillside of Nanshan . He knew martial arts, so he was more sensitive to the nature . He felt that this piece of woods was rather different . Though he was outside, the piercingly cold wind vanished .
These trees! He saw the moving trees, which made his head spin . He closed his eyes at the first sight of the trees, but he was stilled affected . He took some deep breaths and calmed down . His Qi and blood also pumped . He was really shocked .
Tactical deployment! It really existed in the world! How is it in such a small village .
He instantly thought of who made such marvel on the hill . Wang Yao! It must be that young man .
He not only had marvelous martial arts achievement, but he had also mastered tactical deployment .
Woof!
There was a roaring sound coming from another side of the woods . It was a bit depressing . He seemed to see a dog at the side of woods, a big dog .
“What’s going on, San Xian?” A sound of a young man came out from a small room . Wang Yao pushed the door and went out .
Ah, it’s him . He did not expect that the old man accompanying Sun Yunsheng would come .
“What can I do for you?” Wang Yao asked .
“Nothing . I admire you so much,” said the old as he made a bow with his hands folded in front .
Wang Yao smiled, not moving much . But, the trees moved slowly . A road presented itself among the superficially intensive trees .
The old man visited the medical field feeling upset, surprised and curious . The feeling was comfortable on his body, like smooth breathing and a relaxed mood . It was as if a gust of spring breeze blew past him .
He had initially felt like he was on a sacred mountain of Taoism, but it was not as strong as now . There were many herbs planted on the medical field, but he did not get the hang of herbs .
“Please come in . ” Wang Yao invited him into the room and served him a cup of tea .
It was camellia japonica . He had asked others for help to find them beside the river .
