“I hope you won’t blame Chen Lao,” Chen Ying said .
She remembered that Wang Yao didn’t like people introducing patients to him without his permission .
“No, I won’t blame him . It’s fine,” Wang Yao said with a smile . He immediately got what Chen Ying meant . He didn’t try to avoid seeing strange people . In addition, he didn’t promise Chen Lao that he would go .
Meanwhile, in Dao, Sun Zhengrong couldn’t stop coughing .
“Master, do you want me to take you to the village?” Uncle Lin asked .
“I’m fine . I’ve taken the decoction,” Sun Zhengrong replied .
“I know, but I’m still worried,” Uncle Lin said .
He called Sun Yunsheng without Sun Zhengrong’s knowledge .
“What? My dad is injured? Is he OK?” Sun Yunsheng asked anxiously at the other end of the phone .
“No too bad . He has taken the decoction given by Dr . Wang . Is Dr . Wang in the village now?” Uncle Lin asked .
“No . He’s gone to Beijing . ” Sun Yunsheng knew that Wang Yao had gone to Beijing because he had asked him to look after his family while he was away .
“Beijing? When will he be back?” Uncle Lin asked .
“I’m not sure,” Sun Yunsheng replied . He only knew that Wang Yao had gone to Beijing . He presumed that he went to see Su Xiaoxue . However, he didn’t know when Wang Yao would return .
Uncle Lin sighed after he had hung up the phone . What should I do? He was very worried about Sun Zhengrong .
Although Sun Zhengrong seemed OK at the moment, he had almost taken all the decoctions given by Wang Yao . Their enemies were too unpredictable .
The dog in the house suddenly started to bark crazily when they were having dinner . They didn’t think it was right, so the let the dog enter the house . The dog wouldn’t stop barking in the kitchen . They found something abnormal in the meat . They had cooked some meat but hadn’t eaten it all up . Fortunately, they found it in time .
What should we do if the same thing happened again?
“Lin, don’t worry too much,” Sun Zhengrong said . “We’ve come across worse situations through the years . ”
“You are right, but this time is different,” Uncle Lin said .
“I know . ” Sun Zhengrong shook his hand .
Meanwhile, inside a luxurious house, Sun Zhengrong’s enemies tried to find a place to stay .
“Teacher, what do you think?” a middle-aged man asked .
“Mr . Han, you don’t need to be so overcautious when speaking to me,” said an old man as he coughed . “Is your mother alright?”
“Thank you for asking, she’s fine,” the middle-aged man replied .
“Our presence here could bring you trouble,” the old man said .
“Never mind . ” The middle-aged man shook his hand with a smile . “You saved my mother . Plus, I never see eye to eye with Sun Zhengrong . ”
“Good, we won’t stay here for long,” the old man said .
“That’s fine . I’ll arrange the rooms for all of you,” the middle-aged man said .
He turned around and left the room . His face immediately turned dark like dead water .
“Sir, he was lying,” a skinny tall man said .
“I know . People like him are everywhere nowadays,” the old man said with a sigh .
“You are right . Have you planted the parasites inside his body?” the skinny tall man asked .
“Yes,” the old man replied .
“Great, he won’t be able to do any damage to us then,” the skinny tall man said .
Um? The middle-aged man who just left the room suddenly had a sharp pain in his chest . No! His heart sank . He knew those people in the room and their unusual and horrible means of living .
“Damn it!”
All he could do now was to cooperate . They were a bunch of crazy people . He knew exactly what they were capable of . However, he had initially contacted them . He brought disaster upon himself .
“He should have started to have symptoms,” the old man said as he looked through the window . The house was located in a nice area . The old man could see the ocean through the window .
“Yes, about time,” the skinny tall man said .
“Let him have a taste of that,” the old man said .
They had met Sun Zhengrong by accident, then they got to know one another . The old man couldn’t remember when he and Sun Zhengrong had started to hate each other . The hatred was a dead knot .
“When should we leave, sir?” the skinny tall man asked .
“When Sun Zhengrong is dead . By the way, his son is not at home?” the old man asked .
“No, his son is not at home . It’s a miracle Sun Zhengrong is still alive by now,” the skinny tall man said .
Ahem! Ahem! The old man started to cough again .
“Sir, you need to take a break . I’ll go and find out what is happening to Sun Zhengrong,” the skinny tall man said .
The old man agreed .
In Beijing, Wang Yao was reading the scripture he just bought from the antique shop . What a fantastic book!
He didn’t know whose handwriting was in the book . He presumed it was from a Taoist . The content was detailed and complete . It was much better than those books he bought online . I should get more books like this .
It started to get dark outside .
“Mr . Wang, dinner is ready,” Chen Ying said .
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
Chen Ying had cooked several delicious dishes and rice porridge .
“Um, yum!” Wang Yao exclaimed .
“I’m happy you like it,” Chen Ying said .
Wang Yao’s daily life was mainly arranged by Chen Ying . By now, she had become familiar with his dietary habits . She knew Wang Yao preferred light food and Shandong cuisine .
“I want to see your brother first tomorrow morning, then we will go to Su Xiaoxue’s house,” Wang Yao said .
“How about Mr . Wu?” Chen Ying asked .
“Don’t worry about him for now,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
Chen Ying didn’t say much since she was not friendly with Mr . Wu anyway .
“Uncle, will he come here?” a middle-aged man asked .
“I don’t know,” Chen Lao said after taking a sip of the tea . “Your father’s condition is not particularly serious, but it will become critical if he doesn’t get treated in time . ”
“Can you and Dr . Li help him?” the young man asked .
“We’ve tried, but treatment was not effective,” Chen Lao said . “That young doctor is different . You know about Xiaoxue’s condition . No Traditional Chinese medical practitioners but him could cure Xiaoxue . He is a much better doctor than all of us . ”
“But, you mentioned he’s ill-tempered,” the middle-aged man said .
“It’s not about his temper . It is his rule, which is a bit strange,” Chen Lao said . “Actually I shouldn’t have taken you to see him in the first place . I should have asked Chen Ying or Ms . Song to talk to him first . The good thing is he didn’t turn us down . At least there is a possibility that he will see your father . ”
“I’ll talk to him again tomorrow,” the middle-aged man said .
“No, don’t push him,” Chen Lao said . “I will find a chance to speak to him . ”
“Thank you,” the middle-aged man said in humble reverence .
“You don’t need to thank me, we are family,” Chen Lao said .
It was getting late and cold outside . Wang Yao was wearing nothing but a long-sleeved T-shirt . He sat in the courtyard looking at the sky .
“It is going to snow tomorrow,” Wang Yao said softly .
“Snow?” Chen Ying looked up . “But the weather forecast said it will be cloudy tomorrow . ”
“Not for long, in the morning,” Wang Yao said .
Chen Ying looked at the sky for a while but couldn’t tell anything . She was shocked the next morning after she had gotten up . It was really snowing outside . The sky was dark and gloomy . The snowflakes were drifting in their own pace .
This is amazing!
It was not snowing heavily, so the traffic was not affected . Chen Ying and Wang Yao went to the mental institution where Chen Zhou stayed . .
“How are you, Zhou?” Chen Ying asked .
“Good . I’m sober . I like the feeling of being sober,” Chen Zhou replied .
“Let me take a look at you,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao reviewed Chen Zhou, who seemed to be fine for now . Actually, he was completely healthy at the moment . The only thing was that he had vigorous Qi and blood .
“You are fine,” Wang Yao said .
Chen Zhou’s condition confused Wang Yao . He still hadn’t figured out the reason why Chen Zhou’s psychotic episode was recurrent .
“Thank you,” Chen Zhou said with a smile . His smile was like sunshine . “How long will I be sober for this time?”
“About 10 days, maybe longer,” Wang Yao said . He was actually not sure about it . What’s wrong with him?
Chen Zhou’s problem would exist until Wang Yao could figure out the cause of his problem . Since Chen Zhou appeared to be fine at the moment, Wang Yao didn’t prescribe a new formula .
“Let’s wait and see,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao and Chen Ying had a simple lunch in a small restaurant before returning to the cottage to rest . When they were about to go out again at about 1 p . m . , they had a visitor .
“Good afternoon, Dr . Wang . ” Guo Zhenghe came to the cottage with two bags of tea .
“Afternoon, Mr . Guo,” Wang Yao replied .
“Are you going out?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
