Since Wang Yao learned how to make diagnosis through observing people’s faces, he also gained some knowledge in physiognomy . The better the doctor he became, the better he was at physiognomy .
Guo Zhenghe looked outgoing and nice since he always smiled . Most people would think he was a honorable person . However, he was actually a cunning person . People like him were often very calculating and dark inside .
Maybe I think too much, Wang Yao thought .
Guo Zhenghe had a walk in the village . He took his time . He was observing the village with a smile on his face as he walked . His smile was sunning . He nodded and greeted the villagers .
“Who is that young man? He’s so polite and good looking,” a villager said .
Every villager who saw Guo Zhenghe had a good impression about him . It seemed being good looking was important .
Hmm? Chen Ying saw Guo Zhenghe at the entrance of the lane, but Guo Zhenghe didn’t see her . What is he doing here?
She watched him get into the car and drive away . Chen Ying thought for a while before going to Wang Yao’s clinic .
“Hello,” Wang Yao said .
“Hello, Dr . Wang . Did Guo Zhenghe come here?” Chen Ying asked .
“Yeah . You saw him too?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah . What was he doing here? I’m not poking around . I’m just curious,” Chen Ying said .
“Nothing big,” Wang Yao said with a smile . “He said he just passed this place and suddenly thought about me . ”
“Did he really say that?” Chen Ying asked .
“Yeah . What’s wrong?” Wang Yao asked .
“Nothing, Dr . Wang . I just want to remind you that I like gossiping . Mr . Guo is a very calculating person,” Chen Ying said .
“Really?” Wang Yao asked with surprise . He didn’t expect Chen Ying had come there just to tell him that . Maybe Chen Ying just wanted to remind him to be careful with Guo Zhenghe . He now recalled that Guo Zhenghe visited Chen Ying’s cottage when he was in Beijing . Chen Ying seemed to be a bit scared of Guo Zhenghe at that time .
However, Wang Yao had not thought his path would cross Guo Zhenghe’s again . Then, he had saved Guo Zhenghe’s life .
“I see . Thank you,” Wang Yao said . “By the way, are you and Chen Zhou available tonight?”
“Of course,” Chen Ying said with a smile . She had brought Chen Zhou to the village just to see Wang Yao . They didn’t have anything else to do .
“Shall we all have dinner together tonight? My treat,” Wang Yao said .
“Yeah, but you don’t have to pay for the dinner,” Chen Ying said .
“That’s alright,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“OK,” Chen Ying said .
Wang Yao notified his parents before driving Chen Ying and Chen Zhou to the restaurant in the next village .
They ordered a few chef’s special dishes including the wild fungi from the hill . The owner had picked the fungi during summer, dried them, and stored them in a dark and dry place . They also ordered free-range chicken and river fish . None of the food was artificial .
“Yummy!” Chen Ying and her brother enjoyed the food .
Some of the food they couldn’t have access to in Beijing . Beijing had its pros and cons, as did the village .
The restaurant was quite busy . The yard was full of cars .
“Business has been really good,” Wang Yao said .
“Yeah, the hot springs resort has attracted a lot of people,” the owner said .
Wang Yao was a regular client . The owner was very familiar with him .
“The hot springs really has a lot of clients,” Wang Yao said .
“It’s probably because it’s new . I don’t think there will be so many clients two months from now,” the owner said . “I have to serve the clients . Talk to you later . Let me know if you need me . ”
“OK,” Wang Yao said .
“Is there a hot springs nearby?” Chen Ying asked .
“Yeah, they just found it last year . It is located in the village to the east, about 6 miles from here,” Wang Yao said .
“Is there anywhere else worth visiting around here?” Chen Ying asked . She had only visited Jiulian Hill when she came there with Song Ruiping and Su Xiaoxue . It was snowing that day, so the view on the hill was quite unique .
“Honestly, there are not many places worth visiting in Lianshan . It is just a small county, unlike Beijing, which is full of tourist hot spots,” Wang Yao said . “Jiulian Hill is the most famous tourist spot in Lianshan . The county is named after it . ”
“What about Haiqu?” Chen Ying asked .
“It’s a coastal city . You guys can go to the beach . I can’t really think of anywhere else,” Wang Yao said .
Everything appeared interesting on the internet . For example, the introduction of a hill and a cave in Haiqu seemed fascinating online, but the so-called hill was just a few soil bumps . It was even smaller than the hills in Lianshan . The so-called cave was simply formed by several rocks, which might be man-made . The spots were actually boring and disappointing .
“We plan to look around the next few days,” Chen Ying said .
“Good . Chen Zhou’s condition is very stable now . It’s good to walk around,” Wang Yao said .
“Hey, what’s in this dish?” They suddenly heard someone complaining .
“What happened?” The owner of the restaurant immediately attended to the client .
Wang Yao, Chen Ying, and Chen Zhou just finished eating and were about to leave .
“Look! My son started to vomit after eating your dishes,” a man in his 40s shouted .
They had just been to the hot spring resort . Since they didn’t want to cook and saw someone online recommended this restaurant because of the quality of dishes and prices, they decided to have dinner there . However, his son started to complain about a stomach ache after eating and then started to vomit . This really upset the middle-aged man .
All the people in the restaurant heard him shouting . They all came to watch what was going on .
The middle-aged man’s wife grabbed her husband . Apparently, she didn’t want him to make a scene . However, the man ignored his wife . He was afraid of nothing and no one .
The owner was anxious . He didn’t want the reputation of his restaurant to be ruined . If people knew his restaurant had poor food hygiene, no one would visit his place again .
“I…” The owner didn’t know what to say .
Honestly, all the dishes in his restaurant were fresh apart from the dry fungi he picked last year . In addition, his restaurant had been very busy lately, so the food was consumed quickly . He didn’t think any food had passed its expiration date .
“All the food here is fresh . I’ve never had any complaints before . Is it possible that he vomited for other reasons?” the owner asked .
“What other reasons? He’s been fine and happy until now!” The man stood up . He was over 5-foot-9 and looked really strong . “Let me tell you, I’m pretty sure your food made him sick!”
“What’s happening?” Wang Yao came along . He was about to leave, but saw the owner in trouble .
“Who the hell are you?” the man rudely asked .
“I’m a doctor,” Wang Yao said .
The man stopped complaining . He gave way for Wang Yao to see his son, who was still complaining about stomach pain .
Wang Yao squatted down to check the food on the ground and the child’s pulse . He then took a look at the dishes on the table . He immediately knew what was going on .
The man had ordered wild fungi, fish, fried eggs, chili chicken, and goat stripe .
“The food here has no problem . Your son’s got a problem,” Wang Yao said .
“What?” the man grumpily asked . “It has nothing to do with my son! Is the owner here your friend?”
“Let me finish,” Wang Yao calmly said .
“Your son had a lot of ice cream when you were at the hot springs resort,” Wang Yao said . “Am I right?”
The man was surprised . His eyes were wide open . He didn’t answer .
Wang Yao could see the leftover ice cream in the food the boy vomited .
“You are right . He had two ice creams and a bottle of iced coke,” the boy’s mother said .
“Too much cold food stimulated his stomach . He could have vomited without eating anything here . Then, you ordered these dishes, wild fungi, chili chicken, and goat stripe . Chili food also stimulates the stomach . That’s why your son is like this,” Wang Yao said .
“I see,” the boy’s mother said .
“You are so professional,” one of the customers said .
The other customers all seemed to agree with Wang Yao .
“What? You guys must know each other!” The boy’s father scolded .
“What you need to do now is to take your son to the hospital . Get him some proper treatment instead of shouting here,” Wang Yao said .
“Well, we should leave!” The boy’s mother carried the boy and walked toward the door .
Her husband grabbed his coat and followed them .
“Go away!” Wang Yao was standing in front of him .
The man pushed him, however, he bounced and hit the wall . “What the hell!”
“Seriously? Did he just pretend to fall?” The bystanders were all shocked .
