In Wang Yao’s clinic, a patient came in the morning . The old man was suffering from a headache and was not sleeping well . After a shot, the old man immediately felt a lot better .

“Is that all? Don’t I need to take medicine?” the old man asked .
“Your problem is not serious, so you don’t need to take medicine,” Wang Yao replied .
“That’s good . Thank you . Sure enough, you are so professional,” the old man said .
“I am flattered,” Wang Yao said .
He could tell that the old man seemed to be worried when he arrived . Wang Yao guessed that it was probably based on from the man that had died in the clinic . That was also the main reason for the decrease in the number of people visiting the clinic lately . Some people also gave him a message on Weibo, concealing the matter, and persuaded him to explain to dispel the doubts of the people . But, Wang Yao did not say anything .
“Master . ” Pan Jun also came in the morning .
Without any patients, Wang Yao gave him more things and showed him the case notes of his own treatments . “If you look at these things, you may gain some knowledge . ”
They were the accumulation of Wang Yao’s experience, and perhaps even the basis for publishing medical works in the future . It was very important .
“Thank you, Master . ” Pan Jun also knew the importance of these notes .
“This can only be seen here and not borrowed,” Wang Yao said .
“Okay . ” The opportunity was rare . Pan Jun naturally cherished it .
Wang Yao was reading a Taoist book by the side . “Ask me if there is something you can’t understand . ”
“Yeah . ” Pan Jun read it slowly . He tried to remember every detail he read . Systematic knowledge was needed in diagnosis . Massage was not enough . There needed to be clear knowledge in the pathology and cause of diseases . Treatment needed to match diseases, including acupuncture, massage, and/or medicines .
“OK, take a break,” Wang Yao whispered . It was noon .

Pan Jun put down the notes in his hands . The things recorded were like they were from another colorful world, which was very addicting to read .
He had grown up in a medical family . His father was an experienced Chinese doctor . Both himself and his sister had learned medicine . Although he was studying Western medicine, he had a certain foundation of Chinese medicine . He could understand it, but he was not proficient at it . He could only understand it but did not go deeper .
Another advantage for him was knowing his ability and limits . When Wang Yao said stop, he stopped . Not being greedy was a valuable trait .
“Let’s go have lunch,” Wang Yao said .
He did not pay Pan Jun a salary, but every time he came, he was treated to a meal . Lunch included a few side dishes and a small pot of wine .
“Master, is it right to drink at noon?” Pan Jun asked .
“Of course you can,” Wang Yao said .
“What?” Pan Jun asked .
“Nothing, it is no problem,” Wang Yao said . “You don’t need to perform a surgery, and there are not many people who come here to see the doctor lately . It is nothing . ”
“Oh, that’s good,” Pan Jun said .
He was actually a person who loved wine, but his professional requirements were very high . He could not be drunk while treating patients and it was impossible to operate . He would be punished if he went against the rule .
Opposite the restaurant was a river . To the south, there was a mountain . The hills were planted with chestnuts, and the mountain wind was very cool .
“Master, does our school only consist of two of us?” After drinking a few glasses of wine, Pan Jun gradually talked more .
“Well, yes, for the time being,” Wang Yao said .

“I think you should have two more apprentices,” Pan Jun said .
“Why?” Wang Yao asked .
“Your ability should be passed down,” Pan Jun said . “I am at a limited level . As for massage, I will be satisfied if I have half of your ability, let alone taking pulses, acupuncture, and prescription . We need more people to pass it down . ”
Wang Yao didn’t tell him that it was the task of the system to carry forward this pharmacist .
“I have thought about it, but I have not encountered the right one,” he said .
The ability was not something just anyone could learn . At the very least, this person had to be right and without bad thoughts . It would be better to have a certain foundation . It also had to be a person familiar with Wang Yao . There were not many people who satisfied these conditions . An apprentice needed luck .
After eating, they talked while slowly walking back to the clinic .
“This mountain village is very good,” Pan Jun said .
After having visited so many times, he really liked the village . The tranquility could not be found anywhere else, not even in Lianshan, which was quite close .
“If you like, you can buy a house here . It may increase in value!” Wang Yao joked .
“Buy a house? I will definitely buy one,” Pan Jun said . “Master, will it be the base of our pharmacist in the future?”
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“That’s right, buy it now, and it will definitely appreciate in the future!” Pan Jun was very sure .
Wang Yao looked at the road under his feet . In the mountain village in front of him, there was a cement road less than 10-feet wide . It was the only road into the village . The road was lined with houses, white walls, and red tiles . They were typical northern buildings . There were mountains on both sides, Xishan and Dongshan, where there were trees, weeds, mountains, and rocks .

People at his age did not really live in the village . They bought houses in Lianshan County . People younger than him were mostly in the county town . After college most of them would stay outside the village . If there was no accident, they would not return to the mountain village . Young people likely would not want to be farmers .
Gradually, there would be only a few old people left in the mountain village . Perhaps after another 30 or 40 years, the mountain village would disappear . This was a common situation in the country: urbanization development and rural hollowing out .
That would not happen in this mountain village . Wang Yao was confident of that .
Suddenly, a car whistled behind them . He looked back and saw a Benz with a foreign plate number . The driver stepped on the gas . The engine made a booming sound as the car galloped past them .
“That was really fast for a mountain village . ” Pan Jun frowned slightly .
“Maybe there is an emergency,” Wang Yao said .
They continued walking down slowly and came across a dead chicken on the road . The chicken was bleeding . It had apparently not been dead for long .
“Was it killed by the car just now?” Pan Jun asked .
“It’s a pity,” Wang Yao said . “This chicken will taste better if it could have been raised a while longer . ”
“Ah, Master, do you like to eat chicken?” Pan Jun asked .
“No, let’s go,” Wang Yao replied .
They saw the car when they arrived at the clinic .
“Are they here to see a doctor?” Pan Jun asked .
Wang Yao yawned . “I am sleepy . I won’t see any patient this afternoon . ”
The two slowly walked up to the clinic . Pan Jun opened the door .
“Oh, come on, those two people are doctors!” Two women in their 20s got out of the car . They were very fashionable and beautiful . They followed Pan Jun and Wang Yao into the clinic .
When the women entered the house, a voice clearly rang out from the inside, “I won’t see any patients this afternoon . You can go back . ”
“Ah?!” The two girls were shocked, but they did not leave . They entered the room and saw two men drinking tea .
“Didn’t you hear me clearly?” Wang Yao asked .
“But, it’s not easy for us to come here,” a girl said . “Can you please…”
“No, I won’t see any patients this afternoon . Come back tomorrow,” Wang Yao calmly said .
“We can pay more money,” one of the women said .
Wang Yao rubbed his forehead and though, Nowadays, rich people are so arrogant!
“I won’t,” he said . “Out!”
He said it so loudly that they felt tinnitus .
“Let’s go . We will come again tomorrow!” The other woman dragged her friend to leave .
“He is so arrogant and he is just a doctor!” The woman was very dissatisfied . Her voice was still very loud .
“Don’t talk loudly,” her friend said . “I have inquired about him . This doctor is very professional . ”
“Professional? I heard that he killed someone a while ago,” the other woman said .
“If you don’t want to see him, we can go back,” her friend replied .
