Chapter 561: 561
Wang Yao didn’t stay at Su Xiaoxue’s house for too long, because Su Xiaoxue was fully recovered . She seemed to be keen to leave her house and travel . She was particularly interested in Wang Yao’s clinic and village . However, Wang Yao was not ready to be her company in the village .

“You promised I could come,” Su Xiaoxue said .
He had promised, but he was not ready .
“Has Miss Su been out a lot lately?” Wang Yao asked Chen Ying after he left Su Xiaoxue’s house .
“Yes, she goes out quite often,” Chen Ying said with a smile . “I guess it is some sort of compensation for being bed bound for so many years . She’s been to a lot of places in Beijing and Tianjin . ” She had traveled with Su Xiaoxue quite frequently in recent months .
“That is understandable,” Wang Yao said .
If he was the one stuck in bed for years, he would travel around the world once he recovered . He wouldn’t stay at home to appreciate how lucky he was .
“She really wants to visit your clinic and village,” Chen Ying said .
“I’ll see what I can do,” Wang Yao said .
He came to Beijing to see her and cured her . He left a trace of Qi in her body and taught her a paragraph of scripture . It was probably destiny . He would welcome her if she really wanted to visit him .
Chen Ying picked her brother from the mental institute in the afternoon . Chen Zhou was normal . Chen Ying believed Chen Zhou could stay normal for a month after taking Wang Yao’s decoction .
“Thank you, Dr . Wang,” Chen Zhou politely said . Thanks to Wang Yao, his mental status had improved significantly .
“You should thank your sister,” Wang Yao said . “I have something to do . I won’t be back tonight . ”
“Where are you going to stay?” Chen Ying asked .
“I’ll find somewhere,” Wang Yao said . “Don’t worry about me . It’s a lovely night . I want to walk around . ”
Beijing was a big city . He could stay anywhere .
He didn’t even have dinner in the cottage . He walked out and had a stroll in Beijing . The evening in Beijing was more alive than daytime .
Wang Yao walked around without any purpose . When it was getting late, he checked himself into a hotel for the night .

The next morning, Chen Zhouchuan came to the cottage after hearing that Wang Yao was in Beijing . “What? He is not here?”
“No, Dr . Chen,” Chen Ying said .
“Where is he?” Chen Zhouchuan asked .
“I’m not sure . Dr . Wang said last night he wanted to walk around Beijing to appreciate the view at night,” Chen Ying said .
“What’s good about the view at night?” Chen Zhouchuan asked .
“This is,” he saw a young man with bright eyes in the courtyard, “your brother?”
“Yes,” Chen Ying said .
“He’s fine now?” Chen Zhouchuan asked . He knew about Chen Zhou’s condition but never treated him . Chen Ying never asked him to treat her brother . He wouldn’t offer assistance without being asked .
“Dr . Wang has seen him . He’s be fine for at least a month,” Chen Ying said .
“That’s good,” Chen Zhouchuan said .
“Is there anything you need Dr . Wang to do?” Chen Ying asked .
“Nothing, nothing . ” Chen Zhouchuan shook his hand . “I just want to have a chat with him . I should no longer disturb you two since your brother has been away for such a long time . ”
“OK, see you later,” Chen Ying said .
“See you later . ” Chen Zhouchuan shook her hand with a smile and left the cottage .
“Sis, who was that?” Chen Zhou asked after Chen Zhouchuan left .
“A traditional Chinese practitioner,” Chen Ying said .
“Is he good?” Chen Zhou asked .

“Of course, he’s one of the best in Beijing,” Chen Ying said . “I was going to ask him to see you, but I didn’t after thinking about it . ”
“That’s fine,” Chen Zhou said .
Although he had stayed in the mental institute the past few years, he didn’t stop learning and gaining knowledge when he was sober . He knew vaguely who Chen Zhouchuan was . He knew his sister had done a lot for him .
“Thank you, Sis,” Chen Zhou sincerely said .
“Silly boy, you don’t need to thank me . As long as you are no longer sick, I’m happy to do anything for you,” Chen Ying said with a smile . Her eyes were full of tears .
Wang Yao went to the Wu family’s house .
“Continue to give him the decoction,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Wu Tongrong said .
Wang Yao gave the old man a session of acupuncture after he had taken the decoction . He continued to insert the needles in the same acupoints of the same meridians . The purpose of acupuncture remained the same .
Wang Yao was trying to extend the old man’s life, enhance his fundamental health, and fix his damaged organs . However, he was not god . At this stage, he was unable to make a decoction that could cure cancer .
The biggest problem was that the man was very old . Human beings were like burning firewood . The fire would disappear one day . Illness and death were part of human life . If the old man was younger with better fundamental health, Wang Yao would give him stronger herbs that were more effective . Now, he could only treat the old man with gentle treatment and herbs . Otherwise, the old man wouldn’t be able to tolerate it .
Wang Yao didn’t know how long the old man would live . It was totally up to how long the old man wanted to live . It was up to the so-called willpower .
After the session, Wang Yao briefly spoke to Wu Tongxing . He then left the house .
Ahem! Ahem! The old man suddenly started to cough .
The family doctor immediately stood up and settled the old man .
“Tongxing,” the old man said .
“Yes, Dad,” Wu Tongxing said .

“Where is your brother?” the old man asked .
“He is not back yet,” Wu Tongxing said .
“Wait until he is back . You bring him to me . I have something to say to you all,” the old man said .
“OK . Why don’t you rest now?” Wu Tongxing suggested .
“OK,” the old man said .
He laid on the bed with his eyes open . He could feel he wouldn’t last for long . If it was not for Wang Yao, he probably would have already died . He was not afraid of death . He could finally meet his wife who had died long time ago, the Head Elder, and other dead friends . At least he didn’t have to suffer . However, he had to speak to his children before he left . He was still concerned about them .
Wang Yao went to Temple of Heaven after lunch . He had actually been there the day before . It used to be a location for sacrificial ceremonies in the Ming and Qing dynasties .
There were a lot of visitors in the afternoon . Wang Yao stood there for a long time . He felt the aura in the Temple of Heaven was different from before . He found it hard to describe it .
Maybe because he stood in one spot for too long or looked too different from the other tourists, but a lot of people noticed him .
“Hey, look! What is that guy doing over there?” a tourist asked .
“Probably thinking . You know, this used to be a place for sacrificial ceremonies,” another tourist said .
“I saw someone doing the same thing last time . Do you know what happened to him?” a young tourist asked .
“What happened?” the other tourist asked .
“He was sent to the hospital,” the young tourist said .
“Nonsense,” the other tourist said .
Wang Yao slowly opened his eyes to look around . He couldn’t do certain things in front of so many people .
It’s a shame there are too many people around .
Then, he left .
“He’s gone?” the young tourist asked .
“Yeah . I guess he got what he wanted,” the other tourist said .
Wang Yao went to the Temple of Earth . The aura in the Temple of Earth was also different from the other places, including the Temple of Heaven . There were not many tourists . Wang Yao chose a spot to stand for a long time with his eyes closed . He then left .
It started to get dark . Wang Yao had a simple dinner in an old restaurant .
The evening of Beijing was very much alive, but the entrance of the Temple of Heaven had closed . The temple stood quietly like an old man who experienced thousands of years . It looked old .
A person suddenly entered the Temple . He stood quietly under the sky . It was, of course, Wang Yao . No one else was there apart from the patrol staff .
Wang Yao stood quietly to feel the aura between the sky and earth .
Whoo! A gust of wind came by . He breathed in and out .
Crack!
A guard came with a torch .
“That is so weird! I swear I saw someone here!” The guard had a torch in one hand and an electric bar in the other hand . He was slightly shaking .
He was pretty sure he saw a person standing on top of the Temple of Heaven . However, he couldn’t see anyone after he got closer .
“Have I seen a ghost?” the guard asked .
Ghost! He started to shiver with fear . What was this place? A Temple built during the Ming Dynasty and a place for sacrifice . This was a place to communicate with the gods and ghosts .
