“I am really missing the days when I suffered from physical pains,” Zheng Weijun said . “At the very least, I felt that my body was my own . Now, it is as if I am a piece of wood . ”

“It’s good that you have such thought,” Wang Yao said .
“Dr . Wang, are you free at noon? Can you stay for a meal?” Zheng Shixiong asked .
“No thanks . I’ve told my family that I would come home to have a meal,” Wang Yao said .
“OK . Well, maybe next time,” Zheng Shixiong said as he walked Wang Yao to the door . After going back inside he asked, “Uncle Wu, is Weijun all right?”
“I cannot see any problems,” said Mr . Wu, who had checked the patient carefully .
“I hope he is going to be OK,” Zheng Shixiong said .
Zheng Weijun, who still had a pale face, was lying on the bed with blurred eyesight . He felt as if he was floating in a heavy fog in which he could not see anything clearly other than light and shadow . The brilliance of colors and beautiful scenery were hidden .
He was not completely blind but almost . He was in a state of lethargy full of endless strange dreams . Sometimes he dreamt he was in a vague place where everything was blurred and there was nothing, not even sound . He stood quietly alone as if trapped into chaos . He wanted to see, speak, and listen, but he could not . It was a painful torment for him .
Zheng Weijun did not want to fall asleep . Sometimes he even wanted to die . It was too painful to live this way . Now that he was awake, lying quietly, he said, “Uncle Wu?”
“Weijun, Uncle Wu went out, but I am here,” Zheng Shixiong said .
“Third uncle?” Zheng Weijun asked .
“It’s me,” Zheng Shixiong said . “Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“No, I just want to chat with someone,” Zheng Weijun said .
“You can talk, but don’t speak too much . Uncle Wu said, you have to rest now,” Zheng Shixiong said .
“Third uncle, I haven’t seen you for a long time . I have no idea whether you put on weight,” Zheng Weijun said .
“I put on a few pounds . ” Zheng Shixiong looked at the younger junior lying on the bed with his eyes full of love .
“Is Xiaorui still so naughty?” Zheng Weijun asked .
“Well, he was still naughty, but I haven’t seen him for some days,” Zheng Shixiong said .
“It’s my fault to make you accompany me, an almost dying man,” Zheng Weijun said . “In fact, I don’t want to live in this way . ”
“Weijun, don’t say that,” Zheng Shixiong said .

“I really want to see the world and my beloved relatives again,” Zheng Weijun said .
Creak! The door slowly opened .
“What’s wrong?” Mr . Wu came in to fine the young man lying on the bed was crying . “Do you feel any uncomfortable?”
“No, Uncle Wu, I just thought of some things and felt a little excited,” Zheng Weijun said .
“Based on your current situation, your mood can’t fluctuate too much,” Mr . Wu said .
“Uncle Wu, could you please consult Dr . Wang about my disease? I want to see you and the third uncle soon,” Zheng Weijun said .
“I will ask him,” Mr . Wu said .
In another yard in the mountain village, Su Xiaoxue sat quietly looking at the sky . “The sky here is really blue!”
“Yes, it is higher and farther than that in Jing,” Chu Lian said .
“What would you think if we also rented a house like Chen Ying or even bought one here so that we could live here when we have free time?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
The questions made Chu Lian uncomfortable . “It is no problem to buy a house here, which I can do right now, but as for living here, I cannot make the decision . ”
“I will talk to mom when we are back,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Chu Lian went to find Chen Ying to discuss this matter .
“Buy a house, here?” Chen Ying asked .
“Yes, that is her idea,” Chu Lian said .
“It is easy . Leave it to me,” Chen Ying said .
In the afternoon, Wang Zecheng came to the clinic . His complexion was much better than the last time .
“Sorry to come here to trouble you again,” he said with a smile .
“Is it urgent?” Wang Yao asked . He could see anxiety written all over his face . There was even a canker sore on the corner of his mouth .
“Yes, it is very urgent,” Wang Zecheng said .

He had not worked for several days, which meant no income . Fortunately, his wife had a job in town . But, a strong man took care of the children at home and did house cleaning while his wife was a breadwinner . He could not see that lasting long .
“Let me check . ” Wang Yao carefully checked him over . “No need to worry . ”
“Is everything all right?” Wang Zecheng asked .
“Continue to rest at home,” Wang Yao said .
“Ah!” Wang Zecheng stared blankly . “Is… Is there any medicine that makes me better . I can’t wait . ”
“No, there is a problem with your mentality,” Wang Yao said . “I have a book here you could read . ”
“What book?” Wang Zecheng asked .
“Here you are . ” Wang Yao grabbed a book from the table and handed it to him .
“It’s… Goodness, Huangting Jing?” Wang Zecheng asked .
“It is good for self-cultivation . ” Wang Yao smiled .
“I don’t understand,” Wang Zecheng said . His mood was not good . He thought, Who has the time to read Taoist scripture at home, especially since I don’t understand it?
“Listen to me, don’t hurry,” Wang Yao said . “How old are you this year?”
“34,” Wang Zecheng replied .
“Go back home,” Wang Yao said .
The topic of conversation changed quickly, which made he feel a little uncomfortable . Wang Zecheng sighed and turned to leave .
Chen Ying soon arrived at the clinic .
“How can I help you?” Wang Yao asked .
“Su Xiaoxue wants to buy a house here,” Chen Ying said .
“Buy a house?” Wang Yao was surprised that another person wanted to buy a house in the village . “Well, I’ll make an inquiry . ”
He knew finding a house wouldn’t be a problem .

“Thanks,” Chen Ying said .
In Jing…
“Are you sure?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“She indeed went there,” a man said .
“Really? To show appreciation for helping to save her life?” Guo Zhenghe took a sip of wine and stared at the sky outside . The moon looked like a hook .
The next day, Wang Yao had a surprise visitor at the clinic .
“Dr . Wang, can I call you brother Wang?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yeah, as long as you like . ” Wang Yao smiled . He was indeed some years older than the son of the Guo family .
“That’s settled than . I won’t call you doctor . Here is some tea I brought from western Hunan,” Guo Zhenghe said . “Although it is not famous, it tastes good . ”
“Thank you . ” Wang Yao looked at Guo Zhenghe, whose smile was as bright as spring . “Did you come here for some business?”
“I like to come even if I have nothing to do because you saved my life,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“No need to mention it . I was paid to save you, so you don’t owe me anything,” Wang Yao said .
“It is not like that,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Sir . ” A cheerful voice came from outside . Su Xiaoxue smiled and entered the clinic . “Hey, Zhenghe, you are also here . ”
“Hello, Xiaoxue . What a coincidence,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Yes, it is,” she replied .
“I didn’t expect you to be here,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“It’s too boring to stay in Jing . I came to visit Mr . Wang, which I see as an outing,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“I also come to see Mr . Wang,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Zhenghe, are you busy?” Su Xiaoxue asked . “I heard that you are now a deputy chief of the county . ”
“Oh, no, I was just nominated,” Guo Zhenghe said .
Wang Yao sighed . Sure enough, promotion was easier when a personal relationship was involved . He had reached such a high position, even though he was so young . His future was bound to be limitless .
“Since it is a coincidence, let’s go get some lunch, my treat,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“You are visitors . It ought to be me who treats you to a lunch,” Wang Yao said .
Chu Lian soon arrived . She was surprised to see Guo Zhenghe . “You are also here, Zhenghe . What a coincidence!”
“Yes, it’s quite the coincidence,” Guo Zhenghe said .
At noon, they went to the village restaurant . They sat at a table with two bottles of wine and several dishes .
“Wow, it tastes good!” Guo Zhenghe praised the meal .
“It is no better than big restaurants in Jing since it is just a small shop in the mountain village, but the food is fresh,” Wang Yao said .
“Have you been busy, brother Wang?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Fortunately not,” Wang Yao said .
“Given your level of skill, working in this mountain village seems unworthy of your talent,” Guo Zhenghe said . “You should go to a big city to develop your career . Do you have any interest in going to Jing?”
“I like being here,” Wang Yao said . He had given Guo Zhenghe the same response to the same question more than once .
After lunch, Guo Zhenghe did not leave . He accompanied Su Xiaoxue to chat for a while .
“Do you plan to stay here?” he asked .
“Yes, I plan to stay here,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“In the village?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yeah, the house Chen Ying rented has some extra rooms we can borrow,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Hey, I happen to have nothing to do the next few days . I could stay here to accompany you . ” The meaning Guo Zhenghe expressed in the statement was very explicit .
