Of course, Wang Yao knew these issues . In fact, given his current medical skills, he was probably the best doctor in the city and even in the province, let along this small county .
He was currently testing a new formula . He had gained a few new licorice roots, which had been growing very well . He also had a few Prolongation pills left . He wanted to add more licorice roots into the existing Prolongation pill formula to make it more effective . It was all because of his unrealistic thought .
Wang Yao wanted to create a formula that could treat all the diseases, like an elixir in a fairy tale . He wanted the new formula to be able to cure all sorts of diseases and prolong a person’s lifespan .
That was his ultimate goal . It was a wonderful thought, but it would take a lot of hard work to achieve it .
Ding! Om!
When he was busy working, a strange phone number appeared on his phone .
“Hmm?”
Wang Yao had a glance of the number and picked up the phone .
“Hello, am I speaking to Wang Yao?” a very hoarse voice said on the other end of the phone . It was as if the voice was broken .
“Yes, who is this?” Wang Yao asked .
Doo! Doo! Doo! The person on the other side of the phone hung up .
“Who was that?” Wang Yao was confused .
Had the person called just to make sure the phone number was right? He saved the stranger’s number and continued with his study until late into the night .
Wang Yao sat in his courtyard looking at the night sky . He could vaguely see the stars behind the clouds . It was a wonderful feeling . It was as if he could see through a box .
When he was on the hill, he observed the sky whenever he was available . He had been doing this for a long time . He found he could see further and had started to be able to see things behind the clouds .
“It is going to be a nice day tomorrow,” Wang Yao murmured .
Beijing was still a very vibrant city at night . Actually, it was more vibrant at night than during the day since people were busy working during the day . They only time they had to enjoy life and entertain themselves was at night . As for sleep, they didn’t need much of it .
Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei were catching up in a nice cafe .
“Hi, Xiaomei . Is there anything urgent? You don’t normally ask me to meet with you so late,” Su Changhe said .
“I’ve been to another hospital,” Lu Xiaomei said as she was looking at the lights outside .
“How did it go?” Su Changhe asked .
“The test result indicates that I am fully recovered,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Really? That’s great,” Su Changhe said .
“But, I can’t believe it,” Lu Xiaomei said .
Although the result of blood test could be incorrect, it indicated that Lu Xiaomei was almost recovered . After all, the error would only be minimal, such as the difference between 99 and 100 . They wouldn’t mistake 60 for 100 .
“This is easy, come to my hospital tomorrow to get checked,” Su Changhe said with a smile .
“I’ve been thinking about that . I’m really happy,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“I can tell,” Su Changhe said .
“You know, these days I always feel burdened . I’m exhausted . I even thought I would die . What would happen to Xiaoxiao if I died? Dr . Wang gave me hope . Thank you for taking me to see him . ” Lu Xiaomei smiled . She hadn’t told anyone about her disease .
“Now you can relax,” Su Changhe said .
“Yes,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“I’m working tomorrow . I’ll wait for you in the hospital,” Su Changhe said .
“OK,” Lu Xiaomei said .
The next morning, the sun rose early, and so did Wang Yao . He was planning on visiting his grandma . It was almost time to worship the Kitchen King . He wanted to see his grandparents and bring them some presents .
Wang Yao’s grandparents were in good spirits . They were busy cleaning when Wang Yao arrived . He helped them cleaning the house for the whole morning . They then had lunch at their house .
“Wow, how can this be possible?” a doctor in Su Changhe’s hospital asked .
“What is it, Dr . Sun?” Su Changhe asked .
“Your friend is fine now,” Dr . Sun said .
“Really? You had a good look at the results?” Su Changhe was smiling .
“Of course . I have gone through the report three times . Look, if you are still worried, ask your friend to come back in 15 days,” Dr . Sun said .
“OK, thank you,” Su Changhe said .
“You are welcome,” Dr . Sun said . He clicked his tongue and stared at the report after Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei left .
My prescription worked so well? He doubted it . After all, it was not the first time he had prescribed those medications to patients with a similar condition to Lu Xiaomei . However, it had never worked so well . He had no idea what had happened .
“Now do you have peace of mind?” Su Changhe asked .
“Yes,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Hha . I guess Dr . Sun is confused about the results . By the way, did you take the medications he prescribed for you?” Su Changhe asked .
“Yes, I didn’t want to raise any suspicion from him,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Those medications are not cheap . Why did you buy all of them?” Su Changhe asked .
“I didn’t take any of those pills . I sold them to a drug store . Two of the medications are actually quite popular . It’s not easy to get them in an ordinary drug store,” Lu Xiaomei said . One of her friends ran a drug store . She sold all those medications to that friend .
“I want to go to the village again to thank Dr . Wang . By the way, do you know what he likes?” Lu Xiaomei asked .
“Hmm, let me think about it,” Su Changhe said . “I saw many medical books and some Taoism scriptures on his table . I presume he’s interested in those things, especially antique stuff . ”
“Antique? I see,” Lu Xiaomei said .
There are many old houses in Beijing . Some of them had been purchased by powerful and wealthy people . The rest were still occupied by residents who had lived in Beijing generation after generation .
In the bedroom of an old house, several people were sitting around a bed . A skinny old man was lying on the bed . His face was dry and yellow . He looked like a sick old pine tree .
“Dad?” one of the old man’s children called gently .
“Em,” the weak old man responded . He was a bit short of breath .
“Dr . Chen?” one of the old man’s children asked .
“Your dad’s condition has been deteriorating very fast, faster than I expected,” Dr . Chen said . “I’ll try to keep him alive . However, if you want him to get better, you will need to go elsewhere to seek for treatment . ”
“How about surgery?” one of the old man’s children asked .
Dr . Chen frowned . “I don’t recommend surgery given your dad’s age and his condition . ”
Surgery would damage a person’s fundamental health . Whoever went through a surgery would lose a large amount of Qi because the human body was a closed entity . A surgical procedure would cut open the body and damage the wholeness of a human being . Like a vehicle, the engine would never function the same after it had been dismantled .
“I see,” Wu Tongxing said . “I’ll go to the village right now . ”
He left for Wang Yao’s village right away .
“Chief, you have an important meeting tomorrow,” his assistant said .
“Tell them I’m not going,” Wu Tongxing said .
This was Wu Tongxing’s third visit to Lianshan in a month .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was seeing Lu Xiaomei, who had come all the way from Beijing .
“Good, I’ll give you one last decoction,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Lu Xiaomei said .
She was fine now . Her largest burden was gone . Therefore, she looked much happier .
“Dr . Wang, this is a small gift . I want to give it to you for curing me . I hope you’ll like it,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“I accept your gratitude, but don’t worry about gifts,” Wang Yao said .
“Please accept it . It’s just a book,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Book? An antique book?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah, sort of . The book was written in the late Qing Dynasty . I bought if from a library . It didn’t cost much,” Lu Xiaomei said .
“Can I have a look?” Wang Yao asked .
He was very interested in antique books, especially medical books . However, Lu Xiaomei didn’t bring a medical book for him . It was a Taoism scripture called Treatise of the Most Exalted One on Cause and Effect .
He was attracted by the book after going through a few pages . It was an antique book written in old Chinese . It was a good book .
“Thank you,” Wang Yao said .
“I’m glad you like it,” Lu Xiaomei said .
She was in good mood when she left the clinic . She felt relieved .
A car came into the village late in the afternoon . A person got out of the car in a hurry after he parked outside Wang Yao’s clinic .
