The patient’s problem was in the liver . The liver failure was so serious that it could not function like before . The liver played a vital role in the body, but it contributed silently . This meant it would not tell one if it was painful or tired . Once one felt it was going wrong, the problem was already serious .
“12 years old?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes,” Zhang Liuchuang said .
“Where is she?” Wang Yao asked .
“In the provincial hospital in Ji,” Zhang Liuchuang said .
He witnessed Wang Yao’s magical expertise, so he had come again with his sister’s medical history . His sister had been treated in Ji, but the outcome was not optimal . It just kept her disease from deteriorating .
“You’d better bring her here when you are free,” Wang Yao said .
“Can you treat the disease?” Zhang Liuchuang asked .
“I can try,” Wang Yao said . “But, the price will be high . ”
“No problem, thanks,” Zhang Liuchuang said . He asked for Wang Yao’s phone number before leaving .
Recently, the number of the patients with thrombosis coming to see the doctor was relatively large . There was one almost every day, which included those who returned .
Three simple ways were effective for those with less-severe symptoms on the day of treatment: acupuncture, massage, and prescription . The serious symptoms would improve within a week, which was marvelous and often went beyond their imagination . Suffering from the disease basically meant the loss of labor ability . It made it difficult to keep basic living skills . Everyone coming to the clinic to accept the treatment had all recovered . Some had even resumed working .
What was a famous doctor? One with marvelous expertise . What was a miracle doctor? One who could treat untreatable diseases . Wang Yao gradually was called “a miracle doctor” by those .
“I daren’t say it . I am a pharmacist,” Wang Yao responded the first time they called him that to his face .
In fact, who could deserve the character of miracle?
Consistently taking the medicine, Zheng Weijun was under quick recovery . Now, he was able to slowly stand up and take some steps .
Nowadays, he often said, “Living a life is really good . ”
He had come to the clinic while Wang Yao was finishing the treatment of the last patient . He wanted to come earlier, but Wang Yao had been busy lately, so he did not want to disturb him .
“Are you finished?” Zheng Weijun asked .
“Yeah, it is my last patient,” Wang Yao said . “Please come in . ”
Zheng Weijun and Zheng Shixiong went into the clinic .
“Do you feel any discomfort?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, it is good . I almost feel like I become better every day,” Zheng Weijun said .
“Good . Your body is resuming recovery,” Wang Yao said . “The toxins in your body have been almost eliminated . You’d better take heed what I told you before and keep a healthy mindset . ”
“OK,” Zheng Weijun said .
“Do you have anything else?” Wang Yao asked
“Hmmm… there is something else…” Zheng Weijun hesitated . “I came to express my appreciation . ”
“Oh, you don’t need to do that,” Wang Yao said .
“Doctor Wang, you cannot understand how I’m feeling,” Zheng Weijun said . “It seems like I regained a new life . My life before was blurry, gray, and without any color . I almost felt desperate with the thought that the rest of my life would be like that . Under your treatment, I look at the sunlight and the promise . I am only 24 this year . I feel I still have many decades to live . Since I got the disease, this is the first time that I have had such idea . ”
“The change of your mindset is important . Staying positive is good for your recovery,” Wang Yao said .
“Please allow me to express my appreciation in my special way,” Zheng Weijun said .
“How is that?” Wang Yao asked
“I owe you a favor . As long as you ask, I will try my best to do it as soon as practicable,” Zheng Weijun said .
It was a promise without specific content . It was empty and big but full of lure .
Wang Yao just smiled . “OK, I see . ”
“From now on, Dr . Wang will be the distinguished guest of the family Zheng . Please let me know whenever you need to ask a favor from Zheng family,” Zheng Shixiong said from behind Zheng Weijun .
Wang Yao smiled .
After some more words, the uncle and his nephew left .
Interesting . Wang Yao did some cleaning and returned home .
In Miao Territory thousands of miles away…
In a valley in the mountains with lush and greenish trees, the sounds of birds, fragrance of flowers, old houses, and other buildings were shaded in trees and bushes . It was like a fictitious land of peace .
In a wooden building, a retro copper furnace gave off the distinct smell of incense .
“Uncle . ” Miao Qingfeng and Zhao Yinghao knelt on the ground courteously .
“Do you come because of troubles again?” Miao Xihe asked .
“Yes, I killed someone,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“Brother violated the rules for me . Please lay down the penalty on me, uncle,” Zhao Yinghao hurriedly said .
“Is it because of your master again?” Miao Xihe asked .
“Yes,” Miao Qinfeng said .
“You are so impatient . ” Miao Xihe solemnly sat on a square of stone . He calmly said, “Lock yourselves up for one year . Any request of going out will be denied . ”
“Yes, master,” Zhao Yinghao said .
“Yes, uncle,” Miao Qingfeng said .
They withdrew from the bamboo building .
“Thanks brother!” Zhao Yinghao thanked Miao Qingfeng sincerely .
“We are one family . You don’t have to be so polite . ” Miao Qingfeng waved his hand . “But, it is being locked up for one year,”
Locking up was a euphemistic phrase . Actually, it was confinement .
“Uncle’s decision is in our favor,” Zhao Yinghao said .
The flame of revenge in his chest was not extinguished, but it was not as vigorous as when he had arrived in Dao . It hid like flowing magma . Instead of weakening, it became fierier and more horrible .
“In one year, you can practice to be your best, going beyond from copper skin and steel bones to invulnerable viscera,” Mia Qingfeng said . “Since he is from a big family in a top level, he could engage anyone he wants, like the young man you said last time was a god on earth . ”
“Yeah, I will remember your words . ” Mentioning that man, Zhao Yinghao felt a sudden sense of an unreasonable urge .
Last time in the village, three of them, including the master and disciples, were defeated by the man in a moment without any resistance . They could not match him even in the group of three . Such a rival was the one they had never met or thought they would met .
“In your words, he might be greater than the master,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“He absolutely could not match the uncle,” Zhao Yinghao said . In fact, his inner thought was on the contrary . The skills of that young man actually could be higher than Miao Xihe . “How could he have such great achievements at such a young age?”
As for this matter, not only him, but even the ones who knew Wang Yao’s background did not understand .
While Wang Yao was treating a patient in the clinic, an unexpected guest paid a visit in the afternoon .
“Are you busy, sir?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yeah, I still have several patients,” Wang Yao said . “Do you have something urgent?”
“No worries, I will wait for you . ” Guo Zhenghe sat and waited for him to treat his patients .
It was nearly 5 p . m . by the time the last patient left .
“OK, do you have something to tell me?” Wang Yao asked .
“No need to be hurried, sir . Please rest,” Guo Zhenghe said . The smile on his face made people feel comfortable .
“Go ahead . I am not tired,” Wang Yao said .
“How do you feel about Xiaoxue?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Xiaoxue, Su Xiaoxue?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah,” Guo Zhenghe said while maintaining his smile .
“A kind and beautiful girl,” Wang Yao said .
“Yeah, but, do you like her, or do you have some special feeling to her?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
Wang Yao hesitated awhile after listening . He never thought Guo Zhenghe would ask him such a question .
“Yes,” Wang Yao answered honestly .
“Do you like her?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yes, I like her,” Wang Yao said .
“For her background?” Guo Zhenghe unconsciously moved slightly to sit up, as if he had some special status .
“No, it is because of who she is,” Wang Yao said . He did not care about her background at all .
“Sir, I like Xiaoxue, too . I want to marry her,” Guo Zhenghe said . “Do you want to marry her?”
“I have the thought of being together with her,” Wang Yao said calmly .
As for marriage, he had not really thought about it until now .
