“What do you think we should do?” Wang Zecheng’s sister asked .

“Let’s wait a few days . I’ll try to find an excuse to take him to the provincial hospital . Anyway, we can’t let him know he’s got cancer,” Wang Zecheng said .
“Alright . Dad must have cancer because of you,” his sister angrily said .
“Yes, you are right! You should blame me,” Wang Zecheng said . He didn’t argue with his sister . He knew his father probably got sick because of him . He used to be such a terrible person . He really regretted how he had behaved .
His sister sighed and wiped her tears . They then went back into the house . Their father had been diagnosed, so there was no point in blaming or even beating Wang Zecheng up . Nothing would change the fact that their father had cancer . At this stage, they just had to make him happy every day .
“What were you talking about? You are so secretive,” Wang Zecheng’s brother-in-law said .
“Nothing,” Wang Zecheng’s sister grumpily said .
Wang Yilong was very happy . He even had a small glass of wine .
“Dad, you shouldn’t drink,” his daughter said .
“I’m fine . It’s just a small glass of wine . ” Wang Yilong stopped drinking after he became sick . He also didn’t have the mood to drink like he did when Wang Zecheng was terrible to him . He was very happy, so he made an exception .
“I think a small glass of wine won’t hurt . ” Wang Zecheng didn’t stop his father from drinking .
He had consulted Wang Yao about it .
“He can eat and drink whatever he wants as long as he is happy,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yilong hadn’t felt this happy for a number of years .
In Dali, the King Pharmacist’s student had brought all the decoctions to the Han family’s house . He brought three black jars, which were sealed with oil paper . The jars looked like the ones people used to make preserved vegetable .

“Master, all the decoctions are here,” the student said .
“Good,” the King Pharmacist said . “Remove the gauze . ”
Members from the Han family carefully removed the gauze from the patient .
“Do we have to remove it all?” one of them asked .
“Yes . Jian, you do it,” the King Pharmacist impatiently said, implying the others didn’t do a proper job .
“Yes, Master,” Jian said .
He was much more proficient . While Jian was removing the gauze, the King Pharmacist opened one of the jars . An unpleasant smell suddenly came out . The decoction in the jar was a light green color and as thick as honey .
The King Pharmacist held the big jar with one hand and applied the decoction onto the patient’s body with the other hand . He acted like a painter . When looking closely, the King Pharmacist was very proficient with what he was doing . The decoctions quickly penetrated into the patient’s skin . Not a drop went onto the bed .
“Turn him over,” the King Pharmacist said .
His student immediately turned the patient’s body to make him lay on his side .
The King Pharmacist held the jar with one hand and rapidly rubbed the decoction on the patient’s body with the other hand . He applied the decoction all over the patient’s body and sealed the jar .
He then opened the second jar . It looked thicker, like ointment, and was dark green . The King Pharmacist rubbed the second decoction all over the patient’s body like he had with the first one . The dark green ointment covered the light green decoction evenly . It was as if the King Pharmacist had planned it . He applied it slower this time .
No one in the room had ever seen or heard of anyone treating a patient like this before . They all stared at the King Pharmacist and held their breath . The room was filled with the unpleasant smell of herbs .
The time spent rubbing the decoction from the second jar onto the patient’s body was twice longer . When the King Pharmacist finished, the patient’s whole body was dark green .
The King Pharmacist then opened the third jar . It contained a type of dark yellow herbal powder . Again, he applied the powder onto the patient’s full body . The powder was very lightweight . However, not a tiny bit of powder dropped during the treatment .

“Wrap him up,” the King Pharmacist said .
“OK!” The Han brothers were about to do it .
“Not you guys, I’m asking Jian to do it,” the King Pharmacist said .
“Sure, Master . ” Jian proficiently wrapped the patient with gauze .
The King Pharmacist washed his hands and arms repeatedly after he had finished the treatment . He then left the house with his student .
Han Xing didn’t dare to ask questions . He arranged a car for them .
“Bring him to my place in seven days,” the King Pharmacist said before he left . He also took Wang Yao’s three decoctions .
“OK,” Han Xing said .
The King Pharmacist and his student did not say anything in the car . The King Pharmacist just closed his eyes to rest . No one knew what was on his mind .
It was completely dark when they arrived at their village .
“This is the fee!” Since the Han brothers had no idea how much the King Pharmacist charged for home visits, they had prepared $1 million in cash and put it inside a suitcase .
“You don’t need to pay me . ” The King Pharmacist didn’t even glance at the suitcase . His student stopped in front of it .
“Well!” The Han brothers were shocked . They didn’t know if $1 million was enough .
“Master said he didn’t need you to pay him . You guys can leave now,” Jian said .
The Han brothers left in confusion .

“Master, dinner is ready . ” Jian quickly cooked dinner after they had gone back into the bamboo building .
“Join me,” the King Pharmacist said . He was usually nice to his student .
After dinner, he took out the three porcelain bottles he took from the Han brothers and started to study the decoctions inside .
“Jian, come here to take a look at the three decoctions . ” The King Pharmacist pointed at the three porcelain bottles .
“OK,” Jian said . He studied the decoctions just like his master .
“Hmm, the first decoction contained ganoderma . I’m not sure about the other herbs inside it . The second one contains a lot of different herbs like red halloysite, sulphate powder…” Jian tasted all the decoctions and told his master some major components . “This one contains a lot of herbs that boost the immune system, so it should improve a person’s fundamental health . This ointment should be used to revitalize muscles and skin . As for the last one, I’m not sure . ”
The Han brothers told them the effect of the three decoctions . However, the three porcelain bottles all looked the same . Jian didn’t know which one contained what . He also knew his master wanted him to be absolutely honest .
“The Han brothers said the last one was to expel the toxins,” the King Pharmacist said . “There is one herb in it I can’t decipher . ”
Jian didn’t say anything .
“Whoever made the three decoctions is an extraordinary doctor,” the King Pharmacist said .
Jian was surprised . His master didn’t normally praise anyone .
“How come the poison appeared again?” the King Pharmacist asked .
He had seen the poison more than once .
Meanwhile, Han Xing and Han Zhiyu were looking at their youngest brother laying on the bed . His breath was much smoother . They believed he would be fine following the King Pharmacist’s treatment .
Han Zhigao came back a moment later .
“You know what? The King Pharmacist didn’t accept our money, not a cent,” Han Zhigao said .
“What?” Han Xing and Han Zhigao were shocked .
“He thinks $1 million is not enough?” Han Xing asked .
“I don’t think so,” Han Zhigao said .
“Never mind . We need to take our brother to his place seven days later . I’m worried whether he will tolerate the long trip . ” Han Xing was most worried about that . “Try to arrange a comfortable car . We don’t have other choices . Thank god the King Pharmacist can see him . ”
“Sure,” Han Zhigao said .
In Beijing, Wang Yao called Wu Tongxing in the morning to notify him of his arrival and tell him he would see his father later in the day .
Wu’s family house was located in a tricky place, so Wang Yao needed someone to take him there .
“Good morning, Dr . Wang . ” The person picking up Wang Yao was Wu Tongxing’s secretary, who accompanied Wu Tongxing to Lianshan .
“Good morning,” Wang Yao said .
Wang Yao soon arrived at the Wu family’s house and saw the old man on the bed .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . ” Wu Tongrong came home immediately when he heard from his brother that Wang Yao was going to visit .
“Hello,” Wang Yao said .
The old man also greeted Wang Yao . He had gotten some strength back .
Wang Yao took a look at him . The old man’s organs had been deeply damaged . Although Wang Yao treated him with the decoction containing licorice roots, he was still extremely sick .
