Was it expensive? It was not expensive, at least Wang Yao did not feel it expensive . Du Feng, as a patient, did not either . He paid decisively and left .
Health was the most precious part of one’s life . Everything would be possible, as long as one was alive .
In the morning, Wang Yao received eight patients . One suffered from a headache, and the rest were all colds and fevers .
“This is the cold season!”
When he went back at noon, a guest unexpectedly paid a visit to his home . Chen Boyuan, coming from Jing, did not go to the clinic . Instead, he first went to visit Wang Yao’s parents .
“You come back, Dr . Wang,” Chen Boyuan said .
“Hey, when did you come?” Wang Yao asked .
“He has been here for a while,” Zhang Xiuying said .
Every time this friend of her son came, he would bring a lot of gifts to her and her husband, which made them embarrassed .
“I went to the clinic, but you were busy . I didn’t want to bother you,” Chen Boyuan said .
This was a strategy . He was playing emotional cards . They all understood it, so did Wang Yao .
“Is this still because of Miss Su?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Chen Boyuan said .
Last time he came, Wang Yao was dealing with matters from that insect incident . Chen Boyuan had not talked much or stayed longer . Instead, he went right back to Jing . This time, he was commissioned by Mrs . Song to come back to the mountain village again and ask Wang Yao when he could go back north .
“You have to wait for longer,” Wang Yao said .
In reality, Wang Yao wanted to go to the north . The deadline for the special task was in 20 days . The tasks relevant to those people, like Wei Hai, Lu Xian, and Zhou Wuyi, were only half finished . And, they were all in Jing .
Su Xiaoxue and Chen Zhou both suffered from difficult miscellaneous diseases, but they had been under the process of recovery . He had to struggle to cure them .
But, there were still a few people on this side . Sun Yunsheng had almost recovered . He would be no problem after two or three more treatments . There was also the relative of Pan Jun, Du Feng, who had heart issues . There were three people here that needed him .
“I will go to Jing as soon as possible,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh, OK . ” Chen Boyuan had no choice but to respond like this .
After staying at Wang Yao’s home for a while, he left .
“Are they from Jing?” Du Mingyang asked curiously .
“Correct,” Wang Ru said .
“And, do they specially come to your brother for treatment?” he asked .
“Correct,” she replied .
“Oh, great!” He was impressed that his future brother-in-law’s medical skills were so superb that even people in Jing came to see him for medical treatment . “Does he often visit his patients at their homes?”
“Usually he does not,” Wang Ru said .
Previously, she knew Wang Yao generally did not visit people’s home . Recently, it seemed that he went out more frequently .
In the afternoon, there were fewer people coming to the clinic .
In the evening, Wang Ru and Du Mingyang both drove back to Lianshan County after dinner . The next day was Monday, so they would have to go to work .
“Be careful on the road, Mingyang,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“Oh, I will . You should go back in uncle and aunt . It’s cold outside,” Du Mingyang said .
The car drove off . Zhang Xiuying watched until it disappeared at the corner of the village intersection .
“I think Mingyang is a good young man,” she said .
“Yeah,” Wang Fenghua responded .
Wang Yao nodded with a smile but did not speak .
He was indeed good . Even if he did not pursue it, he would be rich and wealthy as long as he was good to his elder sister . Plus, looking at his face, he was healthy and should feel blessed .
That night, Wang Yao managed some of the herbs on the mountain . He then read a roll of scripture book . The chanting sound floated out of the window .
The dog lying in the nest, the goshawk standing on the branches, and the black snake in the grass all seemed to be listening to the sound of the chanting . It was as if there were some mysterious things within it that they could understand .
The next morning, the sun rose early . It was also warming up . At 9 a . m . , people were feeling warm, so there were more people chatting in the village .
“Did you see it yesterday? Several cars were waiting in line outside Xia Yao’s clinic for medical treatment . And, they were from Jing,” one villager said .
“Yeah, line up a team,” a villager responded .
“I guess Xiao Yao earns lots of money from his clinic, doesn’t he?” a villager asked .
“It must be . I heard that he charged them $2,000 for acupuncture!” another villager exclaimed .
“Oh, that’s so expensive,” one of the villagers said .
Wang Yao’s medical clinic once again was a conversation topic of people in the village, who were envious or jealous .
It was Monday, and another day of work . In the morning, there were a few people coming to the clinic . The last one was Sun Yunsheng .
His illness was no problem . Wang Yao had told him this last time when he gave him a diagnosis . He began treatment which involved transfusing Qi to warm and moist the internal organs, and inserting needles to motivate vitality .
The body root that was originally destroyed by the Yang poison re-emerged like a deadwood sprouting new buds . It was as if the warm spring re-emerged with blossoms following a bleak winter .
“No problem, it has been restored,” Wang Yao said . He was also prompted by the system .
“Really?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Why would I lie to you?” Wang Yao asked with a smile .
It was a big surprise . Sun Yunsheng even shed tears of excitement . He had been waiting for complete recovery from conscious confusion . It had been a rather painful journey, both physically and mentally . It had been difficult to not distinguish right from wrong and be mad all day and then sober, but still feel the pain of the Yang poison . Then, he would have to gradually suppress it .
He once gave up . He was used to suffering and desperate . Now, everything had passed . Those pains were worth it . He got not only physically healthy but also mentally tough .
“Thank you!” He gave him a bow .
“How are their illnesses?” Wang Yao asked .
“They are under recovery well,” Sun Yunsheng hurriedly said .
“That’s good,” Wang Yao said .
“Uncle Lin has been able to walk on the ground . Brother Hao is a little bit worse,” Sun Yunsheng said .
After talking a while, he left . After leaving the clinic, he told his father about this exciting news .
“Really?” Sun Zhengrong was exceptionally surprised after hearing the news .
“Really,” his son sincerely replied .
“OK, OK, OK!” He was so excited, he didn’t know what to say . “We should properly thank Doctor Wang . ”
In a hospital a thousand miles away from Jing .
“Was this trip to the U . S . successful?” Su Changhe looked at his friend, who was thin and un-radiant . He no longer had the enthusiasm he once had .
“Fortunately, my illness has been under control,” Yue Chongyang replied .
“That’s good,” Su Changhe said .
“I came back because I want Xiaomei to go to the U . S . for treatment . You also know that the medical conditions there are better than the domestic ones,” Yue Chongyang said .
“Xiaomei’s illness is very stable now . You don’t have to worry about it,” Su Changhe said .
He had read her laboratory reports and consulted his colleagues and friends . Her recovery was quite good and unexpected . It was basically no problem .
“Really?” Yue Chongyang apparently still did not believe it .
“Really,” Su Changhe replied .
“That’s good,” Yue Chongyang said . “I am sorry for her . ”
“What are your plans for the next step?” Su Changhe said .
“I came back to see Xiaoxiao and then will go back to the U . S . I will return when the disease is completely cured,” Yue Chongyang said .
“Well, OK,” Su Changhe said .
Thirty minutes later…
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” The smart and beautiful girl had guessed a lot of things about their unusual reactions recently . She was shocked after seeing her father’s appearance, even though he was a heavy tobacco user .
Lu Xiaomei looked gloomy on the side . She originally disagreed to let her ex-husband see their daughter . After listening to Yue Chongyang, she had changed her mind . Their daughter had to face some things sooner or later .
“Dad is ill and needs to go to the U . S . for treatment . The medical conditions there are better . You have to study hard and listen to your mother at home,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Dad, what disease do you have” Their daughter immediately cried after hearing the news .
“Nothing serious, and don’t worry,” Yue Chongyang said .
The girl was not stupid . Did he have to go abroad to treat the disease if it was not serious? She cried even harder .
Lu Xiaomei now felt that it had been a mistake to let them meet . They tried hard to pacify their daughter . Then, the husband and wife had a small, calm talk face to face .
“What about your illness?” Yue Chongyang asked .
“I’m very good . It’s already controlled,” Lu Xiaomei said without any emotion .
“That’s good, sorry Xiaomei,” Yue Chongyang said .
