Most animals had much sharper senses than human, such as an eagle’s vision, a wolf’s hearing, and a dog’s nose .
San Xian was behaving strangely . He was very unsettled .
“What’s wrong, San Xian? Is there anything wrong here?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian was pulling Wang Yao’s sleeve by his teeth .
“Do you want to me leave?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof!
“Just wait a second,” Wang Yao said . He jumped into the marsh land . He wanted to have another look at the pine tree .
Woof! San Xian walked around the marsh land for a moment and then jumped inside . His sixth sense told him it was dangerous in the marsh land and that he shouldn’t jump inside . However, his master was inside, so he decided to follow his master .
Nothing dangerous happened . However, San Xian was still unsettled .
The pine tree was dying . Wang Yao had even watered the pine tree with ancient spring every day, but he couldn’t stop it from dying .
Why is this happening? How come I have never noticed anything wrong here before?
He hadn’t been to this hill on the west side often . The areas he didn’t felt right were all hiding in the corners . Additionally, it never occurred to Wang Yao to look for unusual areas on the hill .
He went to another hill where he had found problems . The pine tree there was the same .
Maybe there is something wrong with the soil? Wang Yao took a sample of the soil and placed it into a plastic bag . Let me get it tested somewhere .
Woof! Woof! Woof!
“Alright, San Xian, stop barking . We are leaving . ” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head with a smile .
He and San Xian soon went back to the herbal field .
“You don’t need to stay here all the time . Go and play . ” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head with a smile . He then left Nanshan Hill .
Professor Lu and Qi Wan had been waiting for him outside the clinic .
“Hello, have you been waiting for long?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, we’ve just arrived,” Professor Lu said .
Qi Wan took off her hat and scarf after she had entered the clinic . She looked better than yesterday .
“How are you today?” Wang Yao asked .
“I feel much better,” Qi Wan replied .
She was telling the truth . She had experienced fatigue, pain, lack of appetite, vomiting, insomnia, and edema since she was diagnosed with renal failure . All her symptoms reduced after she had taken the decoction given by Wang Yao and received his massage therapy . She felt stronger and less nauseous . She had also slept much better the previous night .
It was unexpected that only one treatment session could make such a big difference . She was now convinced of Wang Yao’s extraordinary medical skills . Her hope for recovery had also raised . She saw the silver lining in the darkness .
“Good, I’ll give you the same treatment today . Take the decoction first,” Wang Yao said .
He gave Qi Wan the same two decoctions, Muscle Revitalizing Power and Organ Pacifying Powder . The latter was created by Wang Yao himself . It meant that the decoction could bring peace to five organs .
Wang Yao massaged Qi Wan for 20 minutes after she had taken the decoction to stimulate her body .
So comfortable! Qi Wan thought . She fell asleep again, even though she kept reminding herself not to fall in sleep in Wang Yao’s clinic . However, she was too tired . She had been feeling exhausted for too long . One night of good sleep apparently couldn’t fix her exhaustion . She slept for over two hours .
The heat was on, so it was not cold in the room .
Wang Yao made professor Lu a cup of tea .
“Thank you,” Professor Lu said .
The tea seemed to taste better this time . Professor Lu could see the change in Qi Wan, which was obvious . It gave him hope that Qi Wan might be able to recover . As long as there was a hope, there would be a way . He felt slightly relieved .
“Thank you, Dr . Wang,” Professor Lu said .
“You are welcome,” Wang Yao said . He received a message from his bank that Professor Lu had paid the treatment fee . He had paid for both decoctions .
All the doubts and hesitation were gone . They decided to go ahead with the treatment .
“Sorry, I fell asleep again . ” Qi Wan was a bit embarrassed when she woke up .
“Not at all, did you sleep well?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, very well,” Qi Wan replied .
“Come back tomorrow,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Qi Wan said . She then left with Professor Lu .
In a Chinese Quadrangle in Beijing, a maid was reporting to her master .
“Ma’am, it seems that Miss Su has something on her mind,” the maid said .
“I know,” Song Ruiping said with a sigh .
Su Xiaoxue had been recovering really well . She could move her arms and even walk a few steps holding onto the wall . This really thrilled the whole family . Her father came back to Beijing right away after hearing the good news . He was in an extremely good mood . He had dinner at home and even made an exception to have a glass of wine .
However, Song Ruiping was starting to worry about Su Xiaoxue’s mood . She smiled less and less and always stared blankly through the window . She apparently had something on her mind .
Song Ruiping knew what was on her daughter’s mind . What can I do?
“Could you please ask Chen Ying to come here?” Song Ruiping asked .
“OK,” the maid said .
After a short while, Chen Ying arrived at Su Xiaoxue’s house .
“Ma’am, is there anything you want me to do?” Chen Ying asked .
“Have you spoken to Dr . Wang lately?” Song Ruiping asked .
“No, do you want me to contact him for Miss Su?” Chen Ying asked .
“Yes,” Song Ruiping said .
“Ma’am, I have a suggestion that you might want to consider,” Chen Ying said .
“What is it?” Song Ruiping asked .
“Maybe you could take Miss Su to see Dr . Wang in Lianshan . Miss Su has been stuck in the house for a long time, so she might enjoy a trip . Then, she could see Dr . Wang for further treatment . Miss Su has been recovering well . Dr . Chen also mentioned that she should get out of the house,” Chen Ying said .
“Well…” Song Ruiping had actually thought about this before . However, it had been very cold lately . She didn’t want her daughter to catch a cold . “I’ll think about it . ”
“Is there anything else you want me to do?” Chen Ying asked .
“No,” Song Ruiping replied .
“OK, see you, Ma’am,” Chen Ying said .
Song Ruiping went upstairs to see her daughter after Chen Ying left . Su Xiaoxue was sitting in a wheelchair looking at the sky . She seemed to be lonely .
Song Ruiping felt a bit sorry for her daughter . “Xiaoxue . ”
“Mom?” Su Xiaoxue turned around with a big smile on her face .
“You silly girl,” Song Ruiping whispered . “What’s on your mind . ”
“Nothing,” Su Xiaoxue replied .
“Do you feel bored staying at home all the time?” Song Ruiping asked as she took her daughter’s hand .
“No,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Her answer made Song Ruiping sad . I worry too much . It only matter if she’s happy .
“How about I take you out?” Song Ruiping suggested with a smile .
“Out? Where?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“Haiqu,” Song Ruiping replied .
“Haiqu?” Su Xiaoxue’s eyes suddenly lightened up .
“I’ll take you to Dr . Wang’s village so that he can take a look at you . What do you think?” Song Ruiping asked .
“That’s great,” Su Xiaoxue happily said . She had looked forward to this trip for a long time .
“I’ll speak to your father first,” Song Ruiping said .
Su Xiaoxue had a big smile on her face .
“Silly girl!” Song Ruiping rubbed her daughter’s head gently .
“You want to take Xiaoxue to Haiqu?” Su Xianghua asked with surprise after he had come back from work . “Is Xiaoxue fit enough for the trip?”
“I’ve consulted Dr . Chen . He said Xiaoxue will be fine . In addition, Haiqu is not that far from Beijing,” Song Ruiping replied .
“OK, I’ll arrange the trip,” Su Xianghua said .
“Keep it low profile since this is our personal business,” Song Ruiping said .
“I know, but I need to make sure you two have a safe trip,” Su Xianghua said .
Wang Yao quickly visited Lianshan town center in the afternoon . He wanted to get the soil sample he took from the hill on the west side analyzed in the laboratory . After talking to the laboratory manager, he didn’t think the laboratory in the town center was well-equipped to give him the results he wanted . Therefore, he didn’t leave the soil there . He then drove back to the village .
While getting out of his car, Wang Yao bumped into Sun Yunsheng, who was out for a walk . “Mr . Wang . ”
Wang Yao wasn’t sure when Sun Yunsheng had started to call him Mr . “Having a walk?”
“Yep . You went out?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Yeah, I just went to the town center,” Wang Yao said as he looked at Sun Yunsheng . Maybe he knows somewhere I can get the soil analyzed . “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” Sun Yunsheng said .
“Does your father’s company work with any universities or research centers?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, what do you want me to do?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“I’ve got some soil sample here . I want them to be analyzed in a well-equipped lab,” Wang Yao said .
“I see, leave it to me,” Sun Yunsheng replied .
“OK, thank you,” Wang Yao said .
“You are welcome . This is nothing,” Sun Yunsheng said .
After he had arrived home, Sun Yunsheng contacted a university in Dao right away . He arranged for someone to take the soil to the university overnight .
It was cold the next morning but sunny . It was a nice day .
Wang Yao had an unexpected guest in the clinic . It was a young woman with short hair . She looked neat and pretty but very thin .
“Hi, what brings you here?” Wang Yao asked .
“Am I not welcome?” Guo Sirou teasingly asked with a smile .
“Of course you are welcome here . Please take a seat,” Wang Yao said . “You’ve lost some weight . How have you been? Busy working?” He could tell she didn’t feel well . She looked tired .
“I just came back from Africa,” Guo Sirou said .
“Africa? You went to travel around the world?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, I just want to look around and relax,” Guo Sirou replied .
“I see . Have some tea . ” Wang Yao made her a cup of tea .
They were like two old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years . They had a pleasant chat, but Wang Yao could tell there was something going on .
“You seem to have something on your mind,” Wang Yao said .
“You are right,” Guo Sirou said after taking a sip of tea .
“Is there anything I can do to help?” Wang Yao asked .
“Not really, but thank you,” Guo Sirou said with a smile . Want Yao could sense some sadness in her words .
While they were chatting, Professor Lu brought Qi Wan to the clinic .
“Can you wait for me for a while?” Wang Yao asked .
“Sure, take your time,” Guo Sirou replied .
Wang Yao gave Qi Wan the decoctions to take and then gave her a massage . This time, Qi Wan didn’t fall into sleep, even though she really wanted to sleep .
“You don’t need to try so hard to stay awake,” Wang Yao said with a smile . Qi Wan could barely keep her eyes open .
“I’m fine, I’ll go back to take a nap,” Qi Wan replied . She was embarrassed that she had fallen asleep in the clinic twice . Plus, Wang Yao had a guest today .
“OK, keep warm on your way back,” Wang Yao said .
“I will,” Qi Wan said .
“What’s wrong with her?” Guo Sirou asked after Qi Wan had left .
“Renal failure,” Wang Yao calmly said after taking a sip of tea .
“You can cure renal failure?” Guo Sirou asked with surprise .
“I’m trying,” Wang Yao said .
