Pan Jun had helped him a lot when practicing in the clinic . He reduced Wang Yao’s workload significantly, especially during the past two days when Wang Yao had a lot of patients .
“Are you serious?” Pan Jun asked . “I haven’t paid you tuition fees! In addition, my help here is nothing big . ”
Pan Jun could benefit a lot from practicing in Wang Yao’s clinic . He learned a valuable treatment technique from Wang Yao . A lot of patients went to his sister’s clinic to see him . Pan Jun had built a reputation as a fantastic massage therapist among the patients living close to Pan Mei’s clinic . Therefore, he appreciated Wang Yao from the bottom of his heart .
“By the way, I’ve finished reading the book I took from you last time,” Pan Jun said . “I’ll return it next time . Can I borrow two more books this time?”
“Of course . I’ve got some books on the table,” Wang Yao said .
He grabbed two books about Chinese medicine and gave them to Pan Jun . These books were actually available from a book shop or online . However, the content in the books Wang Yao gave to Pan Jun was different . Wang Yao had went through every single book thoroughly a few times and made annotations . He also rectified contents that he didn’t think was accurate . These book he purchased from the book shop didn’t contain accurate and detailed information .
Pan Jun didn’t stay for dinner . He left the clinic around 5 p . m .
Wang Yao tidied up the clinical room and locked the door before leaving . He bumped into Zhong Liuchuan and Zhong Anxin on his way home . The two of them were having a walk in the village . Zhong Anxin looked extremely well .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” Zhong Anxin said .
“Hello, have you guys had dinner?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, we are just having a walk . Have you finished working?” Zhong Anxin asked .
“Yeah, busy day,” Wang Yao said .
Zhang Xiuying had cooked dinner by the time Wang Yao arrived home . After eating, Wang Fenghua told Wang Yao something about the Li Family Creek .
“They closed down the hot spring resort temporarily,” Wang Fenghua said .
“Really? Why?” Wang Yao asked .
“People died after visiting the hot springs,” Wang Fenghua said .
“People died because they visited the hot springs?” Wang Yao asked .
“I heard it from someone this afternoon,” Wang Fenghua said . “The person who died wasn’t well anyway . He had been suffering from a headache . He suddenly had an episode in the hot springs and died on the way to the hospital . His son has some background . He couldn’t let the resort off the hook . He lodged a lawsuit to ask for compensation and has been causing trouble every single day . So, the owner of the resort had to close the business for now . ”

“You’ve been to that place . What do you think of it?” Wang Yao asked .
“I think it’s a nice place . It would be a shame if they were to close it permanently,” Wang Fenghua said .
After returning to Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao had a video chat with Su Xiaoxue . He spent the rest of the evening reading a Taoism scripture that he hadn’t touched for a while .
It was windy on the hill, which made the trees shake . The dog, which was resting in his dog house, lifted his ears . The eagle, which stood on a tree branch, was very alert . His eyes were shiny .
Swish! Swish! A snake moved toward the window . He curled up and lifted his head . They all seemed to be listening to Wang Yao with heart .
Wang Yao stopped reading around 11 p . m . After a while, the dog laid down, the eagle closed its wings, and the snake moved away . The night passed quietly .
It was nice and sunny the next day . Wang Yao started working early in the morning . He saw seven patients in the morning, took a lunch break, and was ready to work again at 1 p . m . , when Pan Jun came to help .
“Hi, you are not on duty in the hospital today?” Wang Yao asked .
“I was covering a colleague last night and had some sleep in the morning . I’m available this afternoon and tomorrow,” Pan Jun said .
“I see . Sit down and have a cup of tea,” Wang Yao said .
There were currently no patients, so Wang Yao and Pan Jun could take the opportunity to rest . After a short while, patients started to arrive .
“Yao, do you have paracetamol pills for kids?” a man in his 40s asked .
He and Wang Yao were from the same village . He asked Wang Yao without waiting in the queue when Wang Yao was seeing other patients .
“No,” Wang Yao said .
“Oh, thanks . ” He turned around and left the clinic . This was not the first time someone came to buy medication without consulting the doctor first .
“What is paracetamol?” a patient asked .
“A common medication to reduce cold symptoms and fever,” Wang Yao said .
He finished seeing all the patients at about 4 p . m .

“There were not too many patients today,” Pan Jun said .
“Yeah, otherwise it would be too much for me,” Wang Yao said .
He presumed because he had been away for a week, many patients had been waiting to see him . After the number of patients had reached a peak in the past two days, it had gone back to normal .
“Someone’s here,” Wang Yao said as he took a look toward the entrance .
Two people came into the clinic . One of them was a well-dressed young man . The other was a man in his 50s wearing old and shabby clothes . The man in his 50s seemed to be very sick . His hair had turned completely white . His face was blue . He was skinny with an arched back and very unsteady with his feet . It seemed that he was making a great effort to walk as he leaned on the young man the whole time .
“Dad, take it easy,” the young man said .
Wang Yao could tell the old man was in critical condition . Since the young man and his father stepped into the clinic, he had started to diagnose the old man with observation .
The old man was very ill . There was a deadly look on his face . His breath was shallow . He breathed in more than he breathed out . Wang Yao could even tell that the old man was about to die soon .
“Doctor, can you please take a look at my dad?” the young man asked .
“Help him sit down . ” Wang Yao came closer to the old man to check his pulse .
“Aye!” The old man suddenly sighed .
“Do you feel uncomfortable in your chest?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, I feel there is a stone pressing my chest,” the old man said .
He had severe problems in his heart and lungs .
No! Wang Yao sensed something wrong .
Ahem! Ahem! The old man suddenly started to cough badly . His body started to shake .
“Are you alright, Dad?” the young man anxiously asked .
Wang Yao took out his needles rapidly and inserted them in the acupoints in the old man’s chest .

“Dad,” the young man said .
Dark blood came out of the corner of the old man’s mouth .
“Dad, don’t scare me . Doctor, please save my dad!” The young man held Wang Yao’s hands tightly .
“Be careful!” Wang Yao shouted .
His hands shook, and the young man took a number of steps back .
“What is it?” The young man was in shock .
Wang Yao quickly transferred some Qi into the old man’s body and gave him a nine grass pill . He quickly started to massage the old man with a unique technique to save his life .
“Doctor, is my dad alright?” the young man asked .
“For now he’s out of danger,” Wang Yao said . “By the way, where are you from?”
“We are not local,” the young man said .
“How long has your dad been ill for?” Wang Yao asked .
“About two years,” the young man said .
“Two years? He’s very sick . You haven’t taken him to a formal hospital?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes, but the doctors there could not help him,” the young man said .
Ahem! Ahem! The old man started to cough again .
This is not right! Wang Yao thought . The old man shouldn’t be so sick in the beginning . The treatment must have been delayed to cause the deterioration of his condition .
“What should I do next?’ the young man asked .
Wang Yao looked at the well-dressed young man and had a thought about the question .
“I suggest you to take him to a formal hospital to be examined . Your dad requires ongoing treatment,” Wang Yao said .
“You can’t treat him here?” the young man asked .
Wang Yao shook his head .
“But, I heard you are an extraordinary doctor,” the young man said .
“You sound nervous,” Wang Yao suddenly said .
“What?” the young man asked with surprise . “What do you mean?”
“Oh, nothing . You are sweating a lot,” Wang Yao said .
“Because I was so worried about my dad just now,” the young man said .
“Take him to a formal hospital,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, thank you,” the young man said . “What about the fee?”
“Don’t worry about the fee . I didn’t cure him anyway,” Wang Yao said .
“Thank you so much,” the young man said .
He took the old man out of the clinic .
“Teacher, what’s wrong with that old man?” Pan Jun asked .
Outside the clinic, the young man suddenly found something was not right with his father . “Dad! What’s happening to you? Dad!”
He carried his father back to the clinic . As he walked into the clinic, the old man had blood at the corner of his mouth . He was dying .
