"It's my dad's funeral today . " Wang Fengyi tried his best to make such an excuse .
"You are such a good son," said the family members of the patients staying in the same room .
"Let's go!" Wang Fengyi got out of the hospital bed, attempting to put up with the pain .
His wife was confused . She thought maybe her husband had really changed . Wang Fengyi never visited his father except during Chinese New Year . He never bought anything for his father . He just took some eggs and noodles from his own house to his father once a year . How could he suddenly become a good son?
Wang Fengyi stumbled out of the hospital feeling dizzy and went back to the village .
Meanwhile, his siblings were still on Dongshan Hill .
All the villagers buried their loved ones on Dongshan Hill . More than one Feng Shui master had recommended Dongshan Hill as a suitable place to bury loved ones .
The paper money was burned into ashes while firecrackers made loud sounds . Wang Fengyi's siblings were crying .
Wang Yao looked at Dongshan Hill from atop of Nanshan Hill .
"I'm sorry . I hope you'll rest in peace," he said in low voice .
He began to read a piece of scripture .
People gradually stopped crying and left Dongshan Hill, accepting that an old man's life was over .
When Wang Fengyi arrived home, his siblings had already returned . They were surprised to see him .
"Fengyi, how come you are back?" Wang Fengji asked . "Are you alright now?"
"Not really . Where is Dad?" Wang Fengyi asked .
"We've buried him," Wang Fengji said .
"What!" Wang Fengyi's eyes dulled as he slumped to the ground .

"I heard Wang Fengyi cared about nothing, including his parents, but it seems he hasn't lost all his conscience," a villager said .
"Yes, he got out of the hospital for his father when he was still sick," another villager said .
The villagers suddenly changed their view about Wang Fengyi .
"Fengyi, go inside to have a rest," Wang Fengji suggested .
Wang Fengji and the other siblings prepared some dishes for all the family members they invited to the funeral . Wang Fengyi was lying on the bed . He still felt dizzy and sick .
"Fengyi, would you like to eat something? I'll bring some food for you," Wang Fengji said .
"I'm not hungry . Don't worry about me . " Wang Fengyi shook his head .
In reality, he had not come back for his father's funeral or because he found his good conscience to be a prodigal son that returned home . He returned home because he was sick . He knew his sickness was caused by Wang Yao . He heard Wang Yao was an extraordinary doctor and that people from all over came to see him for treatment .
Wang Fengyi came home for treatment . However, he had just gone to Wang Yao's house and caused trouble the day before . He didn't have the courage to see Wang Yao now .
Not many people could be that shameless, including Wang Fengyi . However, he had been feeling terrible the whole day . He couldn't bear it anymore . He was happy to do anything, even apologize or bow down to Wang Yao to get treatment . His self-esteem was nothing in comparison to the horrible feeling . He wished he was dead . He couldn't care less about anything else .
Of course, for Wang Fengyi, both self-esteem and health were important .
"What? You are going to apologize to Wang Yao?" Wang Fengji was surprised . He knew his youngest brother was very stubborn, so he didn't expect Wang Fengyi to admit his wrong doings . "Why?"
"What did you say? I can't hear you," Wang Fengyi said loudly .
Apart from feeling a headache and sick, Wang Fengyi's hearing was also affected . He couldn't hear properly even if a person spoke loudly or stood right next to him .
"I just asked you why," Wang Fengji said .
"Because what I did was wrong," Wang Fengyi said loudly .
Even the guests in the dining room could hear him .

"What he did was wrong?" a guest asked in confusion .
"Is it Wang Fengyi? He regrets what he has done?" another guest asked .
All the guests were quite confused . After they left, Wang Fengji took Wang Fengyi to Wang Yao's house to apologize .
Wang Fenghua and Zhang Xiuying were surprised to see Wang Fengyi . They didn't expect him to come apologize to them the next day . The change was quite sudden considering that he had been so rude the previous day .
"Yao is not at home . Can you please wait for a while?" Zhang Xiuying asked .
They waited for 30 minutes before Wang Yao came down from Nanshan Hill .
"I cannot treat you," Wang Yao said as he took a glance at Wang Fengyi .
"Yao, please," Wang Fengji said .
"Uncle Fengji, I've told you, I can't treat him," Wang Yao said .
He had to do something to make Wang Fengyi remember that he should never mess with his family . Otherwise, he wouldn't stop making trouble .
"I'm sorry, Fenghua, Xiuying, Yao . What I did yesterday was completely unacceptable . I know you are all kind people . Please forgive me!" Wang Fengyi was almost in tears . He was so uncomfortable that he wished he was dead . He almost knelt down .
"Don't!" Wang Fenghua stopped him . "Yao?"
"Dad, I can't treat him," Wang Yao said .
His parents had a soft spot for their fellow villagers, but he didn't . He wanted Wang Fengyi to suffer for a few days so that he wouldn't forget it the rest of his life .
Eventually Wang Fengji and Wang Fengyi left with nothing .
"Sh*t! That little bastard!" Wang Fengyi was so angry he started to curse as soon as he walked out of Wang Yao's house .
Of course, Wang Yao could hear him . I am right . He hasn't suffered enough .
"Gee!" Wang Fengyi suddenly held his head with his hands .

"What's wrong with you now?" Wang Fengji asked .
"I have a really bad headache," Wang Fengyi said .
He had a sudden sharp pain across his head . His headache was initially caused by Wang Yao's lion roar . Fortunately, Wang Yao didn't use all his strength . Wang Fengji needed to rest and calm himself down . Anger would only stimulate the blood flow and make his symptoms worse . Being upset with Wang Yao didn't do any good to him .
"I have to sit down," Wang Fengyi said .
The humming sound came back .
Wang Yao returned to his clinic after Wang Fengyi and Wang Fengji left his house . Before long, his clinic was quite busy . Most of his patients were elderly people with minor issues .
Wang Yao upgraded as he wished . He was rewarded a skill and a bag of licorice root seeds .
The licorice root was tournefortia . Its seedling looked like a miniature orchard . The color of its stem was red, and its stalk was green . It had white and purple flowers .
It could remove pathogenic factors from the heart and abdominal area, as well as get rid of five types of jaundice, resolve the toxins in the blood, and facilitate urination . It was of medium quality .
Wang Yao applied the skill to the technique of brewing decoctions . Suddenly, he was infused with a large amount of knowledge of herbs, including the nature of different herbs, yin yang and five elements and their relationships, and the combination of herbs . He felt his knowledge had reached a higher level . He had a deeper understanding of the use of different herbs .
It was like a winding path leading to a secluded spot or the top of the mountain . He took a big breath . It was not easy to move every step forward . It would be more and more difficult to upgrade in the future .
It started to get dark outside . In a Western style restaurant in Lianshan town center, a couple were sitting next to the window talking to each other . They seemed to be in love .
The food and drinks in the restaurant were expensive, even though the food didn't taste good at all . Most of the customers were young couples in love .
"Why aren't you eating?" the young woman asked with a smile .
"I just want to look at you . You are beautiful enough to feast my eyes," the young man said .
"Stop!" The young woman's face turned red . Young women liked to be flattered by the person they liked .
"Would you like to watch a movie after dinner?" the young man asked .
"Sure," the young woman said .
Many couples like to go watch a movie after dinner . After, they would have a chat in a cafe . It was almost a routine .
The movie was not very interesting . The cinema was tiny . There were not many people at the theatre, only three young couples . Two couples were hugging and kissing and completely ignored the movie .
The young man gently held his girlfriend in his arm . His hands started to move around her body .
"You are bad!" His girlfriend giggled in low voice .
"Aha!" The young man laughed .
They went back to his apartment after the movie and spent the night together . They made love . They couldn't get enough of each other .
However, the young man suddenly felt a sharp pain across his lower belly after sex .
"Ouch!" He screamed .
"What's wrong?" the young woman asked anxiously .
"Nothing, it's just a stomachache . Maybe it's because I had a few drinks tonight," the young man said .
"I see, I'm tired . Shall we sleep?" the young woman asked .
"OK . " The young man held his girlfriend in his arms . He couldn't fall into sleep . He thought about Wang Yao's advice .
Maybe I shouldn't have too much sex .
…
In Lianshan People's Hospital, Wang Fengyi was laying on the hospital bed vomiting .
"Look at you! I told you not to go and you didn't listen . See? You are getting worse!" His wife was grumpy .
Wang Fengyi just sighed . He didn't even have the strength to argue with his wife . He had a bad headache and was really sick . He had been vomiting and felt very weak . One small movement would exacerbate the symptoms .
