“What happened to him?” Wang Yao asked . The child looked about 5 years old .
“He fell off the bed while playing . Could you take a look at him?” the middle-aged man asked .
Wang Yao quickly had a look at the child and found that he was fine . The only issue was that his right elbow was dislocated .
“Sit tight . ” Wang Yao asked the middle-aged man to hold the child . “Don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine . ”
He tried to comfort the child when he was gently moving the child’s arm . Then, he quickly corrected the child’s elbow .
Crack! Everyone in the room heard a sound .
“He’s fine now,” Wang Yao said .
“That’s it?” the middle-aged man asked with surprise .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
The child gradually stopped crying .
“Is it still painful in your arm?” Wang Yao asked .
“A little,” the child honestly said .
“You are a man, be brave,” Wang Yao said .
“OK . ” The child tried to hold his tears .
“Let me take another look at you . I hope the bones are not affected,” Wang Yao said .
Since it was an emergency case, Wang Yao had just made brief diagnosis . He decided to take a closer look at the child to see if he had any fracture .
“OK,” the child said .
Wang Yao took a close look at the child to make sure he was fine . He then briefly fixed the child’s arm . “Try not to move this arm in the next few days . ”
“OK . By the way, how much should I pay you?” the child’s father asked .
“Don’t worry about it,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you, Yao,” the child’s father said .
“You are welcome,” Wang Yao said .
The middle-aged man took his son home . Wang Yao locked the door of the clinic and went home for lunch .
“Why didn’t you go to the hospital? What if he had a fracture? His clinic doesn’t have any equipment . What if our child had a fracture?” The middle-aged man didn’t expect to be blamed by his wife . He had to take his son to the hospital eventually . In fact, their worry was reasonable .
“Mom, I won’t come home for lunch tomorrow . I’ll catch up with a few friends in the town center . Is there anything you and Dad want me to get from town?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, just make sure you don’t drink too much,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I have to drive, so I won’t drink,” Wang Yao said .
That night, while he was on Nanshan Hill, he received a call from Professor Lu .
Professor Lu’s friend went back to her hometown a few days before the Chinese New Year . However, she hadn’t returned . While Professor Lu was wondering what was happening, Wen Wan called him to explain that her mother was seriously ill . She had been looking after her mother, so she hadn’t had a chance to see Wang Yao .
“How is she? She must be tired given her condition,” Wang Yao said .
Wen Wan’s condition was serious . Like most sick people, she was very weak . She needed to rest as much as she could . However, looking after a sick elderly person was a very tiring task .
“She is not well,” Professor Lu said on the other side of the phone .
He was very worried about Wen Wan . He tried to convince her not to destroy her own health by looking after her mother . After all, she was very sick herself . Plus, she was not the only child . However, Wen Wan didn’t take his advice . She tried her best to take good care of her mother .
“That’s not good,” Wang Yao said . Wen Wan’s condition would get worse . “Ask her to come here for treatment as soon as possible . ”
“Sure . I also want to ask if you still have any of the pills you gave me last time?” Professor Lu asked .
“Pills? Nine Herbs pills?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, exactly,” Professor Lu said .
“I do have some left,” Wang Yao said .
“Can I buy some from you?” Professor Lu asked . He heard from Wen Wan that the pills were magical .
“The pills will only temporarily relieve her pain . They won’t cure her,” Wang Yao said .
“Even temporary relief is better than nothing . Her mother is very sick . I’m afraid the old lady won’t last for long,” Professor Lu said .
“OK, come here when you have time,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you,” Professor Lu said .
Nine Herbs pills was made from nine herbs . Although it didn’t contain any licorice roots, the herbs were all wild . Most of them were from Wang Yao’s herbal field . With the support from Spirit Gathering Battle Array, those herbs were a very high quality . Wang Yao had several dozens of Nine Herbs pills left . It was not difficult for him to make more .
Wang Yao closed the clinic at about 10 a . m . the next day . He put a sign on the door . On his way home, he saw the middle-aged man who had brought his son to his clinic .
“I’ve told you he’s fine . Now you believe me?” the middle-aged man said to his wife . They had just returned from the town center . They had taken their son to the town hospital the previous afternoon . It turned out that their son just had a dislocated elbow, exactly as Wang Yao diagnosed . The doctor in the hospital ran a few more tests and found that the boy was fine . So, they took their son back to the village .
“Shush! Yao is over there!” The middle-aged man’s wife poked her husband .
Wang Yao had actually heard their conversation . He didn’t mind his patients going to proper hospitals after being seen at his clinic . It was reasonable, especially for those who were seriously sick .
“Hello . ” Wang Yao greeted the middle-aged man and his wife .
“Hello, Yao,” the middle-aged man said .
“Is your son alright?” Wang Yao asked .
“He’s fine . Thank you,” the middle-aged man said .
“You are welcome . See you around,” Wang Yao said .
“See you . Come to our home when you have time,” the middle-aged man said .
“OK, bye,” Wang Yao said .
“I hope he didn’t hear our conversation,” the middle-aged man said .
“Of course not . He was fairly far from us . It would have been impossible for him to hear us talking,” his wife said .
“You know, he’s nice young man . He didn’t even ask me for a cent,” the middle-aged man said .
“Hmm, he is a good young man,” his wife said .
Wang Yao talked to his parents briefly before driving to Lianshan town center . He went to Wang Mingbao’s place after he arrived at the town center . He then booked a table at a restaurant .
He and Wang Mingbao went to the restaurant at about 11 a . m . Tian Yuantu, Li Maoshuang, Wei Hai, and Pan Jun arrived at the restaurant soon after .
“Hey, I haven’t see you guys for a long time,” Wang Mingbao said .
“Exactly,” Wei Hai said .
As regular guests, the dishes were served quickly .
Some of them didn’t drive, and some of them had their own drivers . So, they all drank a bit of wine . Wang Yao also had a small glass of wine . In fact, given his capacity, even if he had a few drinks, the traffic policeman wouldn’t detect it with their device .
After lunch, Tian Yuantu led them to his multifunctional resort containing an entertaining facility, restaurant, and business center .
“This is my first time here,” Pan Jun said .
To be precise, this was not his first time to visit the resort . This was his first time to visit the entertaining facility .
There was a tea room in the entertaining facility . Tian Yuantu served them high-quality tea . The decoration of the tea room was also classy .
“You can come here anytime,” Tian Yuantu said with a smile .
They stayed there for most of the afternoon . Tian Yuantu invited them to have dinner in the resort in the evening . He served them a banquet .
They had more drinks at night . Everyone seemed to be able to drink a lot, but some of them were a bit drunk afterward, except for Wang Yao .
It was after 8 p . m . by the time they finished dinner .
“Don’t drive home . ” Tian Yuantu arranged cars and drivers to take everyone home .
“Thank you, bro!” Li Maoshuang had drank too much . “See you later . ”
“Are you gonna drive home?” Li Maoshuang asked as Wang Yao was about to get into his vehicle . He was a bit concerned about him .
“I’m fine . Alcohol has no impact on me,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“OK, drive safely,” Li Maoshuang said .
“Sure,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao returned home and left his vehicle outside his house . He then went back to Nanshan Hill at about 10 p . m .
He continued to brew Connection ointment on the hill the next morning . He received a call from Professor Lu while he was setting off the fire . Professor Lu had arrived at the clinic . Wang Yao stopped working and left for his clinic .
“Good morning, . Dr . Wang . ” Professor Lu looked tired .
“Morning, please come in,” Wang Yao said .
He made Professor Lu a cup of tea .
“You drove here overnight?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . I had something to do in Shanghai yesterday . Otherwise, I would have arrived yesterday,” Professor Lu said .
“These are the pills . ” Wang Yao took out the Nine Herbs pills .
“Thank you . How much should I pay you?” Professor Lu asked .
“It’s $500 for one pill,” Wang Yao said .
“OK . ” Professor Lu didn’t think it was expensive . Actually, he thought the pills should cost more . “Can you give me a handful?”
Wang Yao gave him 10 pills . “There’s no use in taking too many . I’ve told you the pills won’t cure her . ”
“I feel sad when seeing her suffering,” Professor Lu said .
“I understand . But, the more tired she is, the worse her condition will be,” Wang Yao said .
Professor Lu didn’t say anything . He knew what Wang Yao meant .
