“We can talk about it when we meet again,” the man said .

“OK,” the other man replied .
In the deep winter, it was very cold outside, especially at night . In the village, a man felt like his whole body was extremely hot . He didn’t even feel any chill when he took off all his clothes and stood in the room . There was no heating in the village . Some families installed man-made heating equipment . But, at night, it was just a little more than 10 degrees . So, it was extremely abnormal for the man to feel so hot .
“What’s wrong with you?” His wife thought he was acting strangely .
“Ah, I just feel very hot,” he said .
“What kind of hot do you feel?” she asked .
“It’s dry and hot,” the man said .
“You will feel better if you go out to chill yourself,” his wife angrily said .
The next morning, a sharp crying broke up the peace in the village . A middle-aged man, who had been in the best shape of his life, had died in the village .
It was noon when Wang Yao knew the news . “What disease?”
“I don’t know, ah, how young he is!” Zhang Xiuying sighed . “And, he still had two children . ”
“Remember to remind me to send two rolls of paper money,” Wang Fenghua said . The paper was made to resemble money and burned as an offering to the dead . Villagers preferred to join in all village activities, no matter if it was a funeral or a wedding .
In the afternoon, there were two guests from Jing . They directly went to the clinic after arriving in the village .
“It’s you!” One of the visitors knew Wang Yao because they met each other in Jing .
“How are you, Dr . Wang? It’s nice to see you again,” Wu Tongxing said with a smile .
Nice to see you? Wang Yao did not feel happy . The two men had come from the place thousands of miles away, presumably for medical treatment .
“Hello, Mr . Wu, please have a seat . ” Wang Yao invited them to sit down and served them tea .
“It’s good,” Wu Tongxing said . He knew it was good just by its smell .

“What are you here for?” Wang Yao asked .
“We want to invite you for a home visit,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Where?” Wang Yao asked .
“Jing,” Wu Tongxing replied .
“Sorry, I had not planned on that,” Wang Yao said .
“We can pay you for it,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Sorry,” Wang Yao said .
“Then, Dr . Wang, what could we do to invite you for a home visit?” asked the middle-aged man, who came along with Wu Tongxing .
“I don’t have plans for that now, so I won’t go,” Wang Yao said .
The situation was as troublesome as they had guessed . Before they came, they had done some research to learn about his family and habits . They did not find a better way . They could only hope to persuade him by giving him a satisfactory offer .
Wang Yao followed his heart to do what he liked and refuse what he disliked . This capriciousness often made people feel troublesome .
Wu’s family had powerful influence, but only in Qi province . So, they could only invite him and not force him .
“Please, have a drink,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
The men agreed . They stayed for a while and had small talk with Wang Yao .
“Sorry to have disturbed you,” Wu Tongxing said .
“No problem,” Wang Yao said . He did not want to go to Jing now, but he would in a few days .
“Then, when you come to Jing, please call me . ” Finally, Wu Tongxing left him a telephone number .
Wang Yao accepted it and smiled . He then sent them on their way .

Ah! Wu Tongxing breathed a sigh of relief . “It’s so hard to persuade him!”
“It is hard to invite people like him . Look at him, he has no desire or wish,” the middle-aged man accompanying him said .
“How could the family of Su and that of Guo have invited him?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“I did some inquiry . In fact, he did not go to the Guo family when he went to Jing . Instead, he lived in a small yard owned by the Su family . Duo Zhenghe visited him several times, but it was only symbolic,” the middle-aged man said .
“You mean the relationship between him and the family of Guo was not like what I thought?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“Yes, but his relationship with the Sus was not shallow at all . I also asked Chen Lao about that,” the middle-aged man replied .
“What do you mean?” Wu Tongxing asked .
“We can do some inquiry into the Sus,” the middle-aged man said .
“Good, book today’s airline tickets . Ware are going back to Jing,” Wu Tongxing said .
At noon, when Wang Yao returned home to have lunch, he heard his parents again talking about the dead villager .
“I heard from his wife that his whole body felt hot when he got up at midnight,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“His body felt hot?” Wang Yao stopped his chopsticks .
“Yeah, he took off his clothes and wandered in the room,” Zhang Xiuying said . “How weird was that?”
There must have been a problem if he felt hot . It had to be a disease .
After finishing his meal, Wang Yao did not go to the clinic . Instead, he went around the villager’s home who had died . He wandered around the house and went to some alleys nearby . He walked carefully while looking around .
No, maybe I think too much .
When he heard from his parents about the symptoms of the dead villager, his first thought was that the man might have been poisoned by the venomous insects . Therefore, he had to specially look .
He thought, It would be better if I could go into his home . But, they were having a funeral . It was not proper to go at this time .

“Xiao Yao, what’s up?” A senior in the village saw him and asked while smiling .
“Ah, no matter, uncle,” Wang Yao said .
“Would you like to have a seat in my home?” the man asked .
“No, thanks . I have other things to do,” Wang Yao replied .
“OK, you can come when you are free,” the man said .
Many villagers were now really kind to Wang Yao . Many of their families had seen him for treatment, and the effect was really good . Plus, he did not charge them much money . In fact, many of their visits were free . Most villagers were sensible and reasonable . They felt grateful for him . Many would raise a thumb up when talking about the young man .
“Why did you go there?” He was confronted with his father when going to the clinic .
“I just wanted to have a look,” Wang Yao said .
“There was someone waiting for you outside the clinic,” his father said .
“OK, I will go at once,” Wang Yao said .
The person coming for treatment was from the downtown village . His disease was simple . He had twisted his ankle . The swelling was serious .
“Come on, have a seat and I will have a check,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao checked him carefully . First, he needed to ensure he did not hurt the bone or it would be troublesome .
“Why didn’t you go to the hospital when your swelling was so serious?” Wang Yao asked him .
Normally, in such a situation, especially when the swelling was serious, the first thing a person did was to go to the hospital to have a formal check as soon as possible . Getting an ultrasound could determine whether the bone was injured . Then, the hospital would provide corresponding treatment .
“Ah, I thought it did no matter since twisting ankle was a normal matter . But, this morning, I felt it more and more serious . So, I came to see you,” the man said . “Plus, I live nearby . ”
“Are you from the downtown village?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” the man replied .
“It is not too bad . You did not hurt your bone,” Wang Yao said . “You just hurt your soft tissue . You will have to endure the pain . I will massage it . ”
Ah! He frowned when Wang Yao started . It hurt very bad .
“You have to put up with that,” Wang Yao said .
The strength at first was light . Wang Yao applied more strength gradually . He gave priority to massaging and rubbing not only his hurt ankle but also his shank and the sole of his foot .
While giving the massage, Pan Jun came in . “What’s up?”
“Hi . Help yourself if you want to drink some tea,” Wang Yao said .
Pan Jun did not drink tea . Instead, he sat to the side and carefully watched how was Wang Yao treating the patient . He was watching and learning .
After massaging awhile, the serious swelling became a little better .
“How are you feeling now?” Wang Yao asked .
“It hurts and is hot,” the man said .
“Ah, have a rest for now and raise your leg higher a little . ” Wang Yao raised his leg, washed his hands, and made a cup of tea for Pan Jun . “What’s the matter?”
“I heard the news that they will hold a selection for famous doctors in the county,” Pan Jun said .
“Famous doctors?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, that is what you asked about last time,” Pan Jun said .
“Yes, and what about the conditions?” Wang Yao asked . This was one of the missions issued by the system .
“Here they are . ” Pan Jun took out two pieces of paper and gave them to Wang Yao .
“Alas!” Wang Yao frowned a little . He was excluded by one of them . The candidates selected by all medical departments in the county and town would be assessed, which was to say the candidates in selection must be confirmed as civil servants . All self-employed doctors, like Wang Yao, were not qualified .
“I am not qualified!” Wang Yao was disappointed .
“I made some inquiries about that . The main hospitals in the county will be given priority of the main quota . There were 10 in all, which they will struggle to grab,” Pan Jun said .
