"Dr Wang, you are such an extraordinary doctor . Even senior government officers in Beijing come all the way here to see you," Sang Jimin said .
"I just happen to know them," Wang Yao said .
He drove Sang Jimin and Sang Guzi to the village in the neighborhood at lunch time .
"Hello, Dr Wang, please come in . " The owner of the restaurant was very glad to see him . He hadn't had many customers lately .
"Business is still not good?" Wang Yao asked .
"Not good . There are about two to three groups of customers coming here every day . I don't expect the business will pick up any time soon," the owner said .
"Don't worry too much . It will get better . " Wang Yao tried to comfort the owner .
"I hope so," the owner said .
"Same dishes as usual," Wang Yao said .
"OK . I'll make you a pot of tea . Try our spring tea leaves . " The owner was very nice to Wang Yao, who was an old friend and customer . Wang Yao had also helped him before .
There were not many people in the restaurant . so the dishes were soon served .
"Come on, let's eat," Wang Yao said .
"OK," Sang Jimin said .
Wang Yao had ordered river fish and wild fungi . The food was very fresh .
"Hmm, delicious," Sang Jimin said .

"I'm glad you like the food here . You can always come back," Wang Yao said . "Dr . Sang, allow me to propose a toast to you . "
"Haha, thank you," Sang Guzi said with a smile . He was very impressed by Wang Yao, who was a young and extraordinary doctor . Wang Yao was even a better doctor than him . Plus, his attitude was good . Unlike most capable young men, he was not arrogant at all .
Sang Guzi didn't come across a lot of capable people with a good temper . "By the way, I have to apologize to you . "
"Why?" Wang Yao asked with surprise .
"Do you remember the patient in Dali I asked you to see?" Sang Guzi asked .
"Yes," Wang Yao said . He remembered Han Xing's youngest brother well . He had suffered from heat poison . His condition was similar to Su Xiaoxue's . Wang Yao had made three decoctions and left them for him . Han Xing said he would be in contact, but Wang Yao never heard from him ever again .
"How is that patient?" Wang Yao asked .
"He should be fine . Otherwise, they would have contacted me already . " Sang Guzi sounded a bit upset .
"Is there anything else?" Wang Yao asked .
"Yes," Sang Guzi said . "They went to see the King Pharmacist of Miao area .
"Really?" Wang Yao asked .
He had heard about the King Pharmacist . Whoever was called King proved to be an expert in his area . The King Pharmacist had been well-known in Yunnan for years .
"I've seen the King Pharmacist before and know a bit of his rules . He is truly an extraordinary doctor but ill-tempered . He won't see anyone when he is not in a good mood . Even the president of China went to see him," Sang Guzi said .
"Well, I heard of that, too," Wang Yao said . The Han brothers told him about the King Pharmacist while he was in Dali .

"He lives in a village in Southern Yunnan . A lot of people go to that village to see him . Since he is a weird man, some people have to wait for more than a month to see him," Sang Guzi said .
"A month! The treatment would be delayed," Wang Yao said with surprise .
"Yes, but everyone is happy to wait . They don't have a choice . All his patients have conditions that are difficult to treat . They go to see him because they can't be cured in a hospital . They must have been to a number of hospitals before going to see him . And, he has a unique rule," San Guzi said as he took a sip of the tea .
Wang Yao was quietly listening to Sang Guzi .
"If a person can offer him a special or unique herb meeting his criteria, he will do that person a favor," Sang Guzi said .
"That is a weird rule," Wang Yao said .
"Very weird," Sang Guzi said . "Normally, people have to wait in a cue to see him . His assistant will give each patient a wooden number card . The King Pharmacist rarely leaves his village . However, if someone offers him a herb or decoction satisfying him, the person can see him right away . And, he will be happy to visit the person . "
Wang Yao sort of guessed what was going to be said next .
"The King Pharmacist gained his fame many years ago . He is truly a fantastic doctor . He has seen all sorts of herbs and formulas over the years, so not many herbs could raise his attention," San Guzi said . "As far as I know, he was only impressed once by a formula in the last five years . This time, he went to the Han brother's house to treat their youngest brother . I saw him in Dali . I think the Han brothers probably gave your decoctions to the King Pharmacist . "
Sang Guzi had witnessed and experienced the amazing effect of Wang Yao's decoctions . Zhou Wuyi and Zhou Wukang were both cured by Wang Yao's decoctions . Zhou Wuyi almost died, and Zhou Wukang had experienced a weird condition for years . To Sang Guzi, both of them were beyond cure . However, Wang Yao saved them with his magical decoctions .
"I see," Wang Yao said .
His decoctions would surely impress the King Pharmacist . The three decoctions Wang Yao left for the Han brothers contained licorice roots, which were rare in the world . The pot and water he used to brew the decoctions were also unusual . It was no wonder the King Pharmacist was impressed by the decoctions .
"I didn't expect they would do that . It was my fault," Sang Guzi said .
"It's nothing . Please stop blaming yourself," Wang Yao said . He respected Sang Guzi very much since was a decent person, as well as a good doctor . "You said you didn't expect them to do that . "
"I was just worried about their youngest brother . Their father used to help me a lot and saved my life once . He asked me to look after his sons before he died . I really didn't see this happening," Sang Guzi said with a sigh .

One might know a person's face but not one's mind .
"Never mind . Let's stop talking about this . Cheers," Wang Yao said .
"Right, cheers," Sang Jimin said .
"What brings you to Qi Province by the way?" Wang Yao asked .
"I came here for some personal matters," Sang Guzi said .
"Let me know if there is anything I can assist with," Wang Yao said .
"Sure," Sang Guzi said .
He came to Qi Province to meet an old friend . He would stay in the province for several days . Both him and his friend were in their 70s, so they might not have many chances left to meet .

Meanwhile, Pan Jun was seeing a patient in Pan Mei's clinic .
"Well done, Dr . Pan, who did you learn massage from?" the elderly patient asked .
"A master," Pan Jun said with a smile .
He had been practicing massage techniques in his sister's clinic lately . The effect was quite impressive . Soon, people started to ask to see him in the clinic .
"I know you learned it from a master . Which master?" the elderly patient asked .
"Dr Wang . He used to come here," Pan Jun said .
"That young man? I think he's younger than you," the patient said . He was a regular visitor to the clinic . He visited the clinic for any minor issues like a cold or headache . He vaguely remembered Wang Yao, a good-looking young doctor who was good at treating headaches .
"He is younger than me but a much better doctor," Pan Jun said .
"You are right . Age is not an issue . We should only care about his skills," the patient said .
"Indeed," Pan Jun said .
"I feel much better after the massage . Thank you," the patient said .
"You are welcome," Pan Jun said .
The patient paid and left the clinic in a good mood .
"Have you seen your teacher lately?" Pan Mei asked .
"Yes, several days ago . I'll visit him tomorrow," Pan Jun said .
"By the way, I heard the traditional Chinese medicine hospital in the city hired a Chinese medical practitioner who goes there once a week . The fee he charges is quite high," Pan Mei said .
Pan Jun didn't comment . He just smiled .

Sang Guzi and his son stayed in Wang Yao's clinic for a while after lunch .
"Dad, is Dr . Wang better than that old guy Wu San?" Sang Jimin asked in private .
"Stop calling him Wu San," Sang Guzi seriously said . "He is much older than you after all . You shouldn't be rude . "
"Why? He is such an ill-tempered person who doesn't deserve my respect," Sang Jimin said .
"You can't be rude just because of his temper . You are right, he is ill-tempered, but he is not a bad person . " Although Sang Guzi didn't see eye to eye with the King Pharmacist, he was a person of integrity .
