“Maybe we should invite Dr . Chen to come here to take a look,” the woman said . As soon it slipped out of her mouth, she realized she had said something inappropriate . “Sorry, I didn’t mean it . ”
She shouldn’t have said she wanted a different doctor to see Hou Shida . It indicated that she didn’t trust Dr . Li . It was like a man talking about a pretty woman in front of his wife .
“Never mind, I know you are worried about him . ” Li Shengrong waved his hand to indicate he didn’t care .
After being a medical practitioner for such a long time, he had stopped caring about a lot of things, including what people thought about him . In addition, Hou Shida was a distant relative . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen him in the hospital .
“I don’t think I can help him,” Li Shengrong said . “Call Dr . Chen . But, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to help him either . ”
“OK,” the woman said .
“Wait, leave it to me . I’ll call him . ” Li Shengrong dialed a number .
“No, not playing chess with me . Never mind, I’ll arrange someone to pick you up later . ” He hung up the phone after talking briefly . “I’ve spoken to him . You can arrange a car to pick him up . ”
“Thank you,” the woman said .
She quickly arranged a vehicle to pick Dr . Chen up . An hour later, the thin and old Dr . Chen had arrived at the hospital .
“Hey, did you lose a game again?” Li Shengrong asked as soon as he saw Dr . Chen .
“Humph!” Chen Zhouchuan didn’t reply . “Where is he?”
“He is in the hospital room,” the woman said as she led him to a private hospital room . “Can you two please stop arguing for a moment?”
Hou Shida had just fallen asleep . He rarely got a chance to sleep . He didn’t know when the pain would return . Once the pain came back, he would suffer a great deal . He would rather be dead .
Chen Zhouchuan came to his bed to check his pulse .
“Hmm, his pulse is weird . ” He frowned and said, “He had blockage in multiple places in his head and stomach . He shouldn’t have this condition at his age,”
“Save the nonsense,” Li Shengrong said . “Can you help him?”
“I can try to treat his stomach problem, but I can’t do anything about the problem in his head,” Chen Zhouchuan said . “And, I think you should keep an eye on him from now on . He’s done so many bad things . ”
“Sure . ” The woman nodded .
She needed the two old doctors to help Hou Shida . Even when she didn’t need their help, she still paid great respect to the two old men .
“I’ll give him an acupuncture treatment after he wakes up,” Chen Zhouchuan said .
Since he didn’t think Hou Shida would wake up any time soon, he left with Li Shengrong .
“Hey, slow down,” Li Shengrong said .
“What?” Chen Zhouchuan unhappily asked . “Don’t ask me to do things like this anymore . You know what Hou Shida is like . ”
Hou Shida didn’t have a good reputation in Beijing . He was different from Guo Zhenghe, let alone Su Xiaoxue, who was favored by almost everybody . Chen Zhouchuan didn’t want to help a spoiled brat like Hou Shida .
“Well, you know my relationship with his family . I just need your help this time . Only this time . ” Li Shengrong apologized . “However, that kid’s condition is really weird . ”
“He deserves it,” Chen Zhouchuan said .
“Hey, I find you are increasingly grumpy,” Li Shengrong said . “Have you had an argument with your wife?”
“No,” Chen Zhouchuan replied .
“Well, I’ve got some really nice tea at home,” Li Shengrong said . “Would you like to come?”
“No, thanks,” Chen Zhouchuan said . He left without any lingering .
“What a stubborn old guy!” Li Shengrong was confused about how his old friend had become so grumpy .
Fortunately, Chen Zhouchuan promised to treat Hou Shida, which was a good thing . Li Shengrong knew his friend well . He knew Chen Zhuchuan was a better doctor in terms of his knowledge in meridians . Of course, just slightly better .
Soon after dark, Wang Yao went back to Nanshan Hill, which was earlier than normal . He needed to brew two decoctions for the patient he was going to see the next day .
One of the decoctions was the nerve calming powder, which would calm the old patient’s nerves and assist with sleeping . The other one was the regather soup, which would consolidate the old man’s fundamental health and improve his immune system . The two decoctions would solve the problems .
Wang Yao had brewed these two decoctions many times . He was very familiar with the process, so it was an easy job for him . However, no matter how proficient he was to make those decoctions, it still took him the same amount of time to brew the decoctions .
Meanwhile, in a hotel of Lianshan town center, the old patient was talking to his son .
“Dad, how are you feeling?” the old man’s son asked .
“I feel better,” the old man said . “My headache is not that bad now . The treatment worked . ”
He hadn’t had a bad headache since he left Wang Yao’s clinic . He was really happy with the treatment .
“Great, you should probably go to bed early,” his son said .
“Yes, you should, too,” the old man replied . ‘You must be really tired . ”
That night, the old man had a good sleep before midnight . However, the headache came back in the middle of the night . The only difference was his headache was not as severe . The pain was intermittent . Although he didn’t sleep well all night, the symptoms had reduced greatly .
It started to become light outside .
“Another night!” The old man rubbed his forehead .
Although he didn’t sleep very well, the quality of sleep had improved .
“Dad, did you fall asleep last night?” his son asked during breakfast .
“Yes, I did . I slept until midnight,” the old man said .
“That’s good,” his son said . “Wait here, I’ll fetch the decoctions for you . ”
“OK,” the old man said .
His son arrived in the village before 8 a . m . He waited outside Wang Yao’s clinic . Wang Yao normally came down from Nanshan Hill at about that time .
“Good, morning, Dr . Wang,” the old man’s son said .
“Good morning, you are early,” Wang Yao said .
“I’ve just arrived,” the old man’s son said .
Wang Yao gave him the two decoctions he brewed the previous night . “Finish the two decoctions in three days . ”
“Sure, I’ll remember it,” the middle-aged man said .
He paid Wang Yao . The regather soup was inexpensive . Most families could afford a decoction costing several hundreds of dollars . However, the cost of the nerve calming power shocked the middle-aged man . It was quite expensive to him .
“Do we need to stay here?” he asked .
“Yes, come back in three days,” Wang Yao said .
Since he and his father had stayed here for several days, they didn’t mind staying for three more days . He wanted his father to be cured .
After the man left, Wang Yao had three patients . It wasn’t a busy morning .
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Beijing, Chen Zhouchuan was treating Hou Shida . He had just finished an acupuncture session for the young man .
“Oh my god!” Hou Shida cried . He turned himself over in pain . “Pain! It’s so painful! Old man, do you know how to do acupuncture?”
Because of the pain, Hou Shida didn’t think before speaking . His mother neither stopped him nor apologized to Chen Zhouchuan .
“Humph,” Chen Zhouchuan coldly said . He packed his things away and left saying, “You deserve it . ”
“Wait, Zhouchuan!” Li Shengrong tried to stop his old friend from leaving, but Chen Zhouchuan slapped his arm .
“Well,” Li Shengrong sighed .
“What should I do, Dr . Li?” Hou Shida’s mother asked .
“I don’t think I can do anything,” Li Shengrong said .
“I can’t just leave Shida like this,” Hou Shida’s mother said .
She was really worried . As a mother, she didn’t want to see her son suffer . She would rather be in pain herself .
“Sorry,” Li Shengrong said .
“Oh no, what should I do?” the woman asked .
“I can’t cure him, but someone I know should be able to cure him,” Li Shengrong said as he looked at the miserable Hou Shida .
“Who can cure Shida? Where is the person?” the woman asked .
“The young man’s name is Wang Yao, but he is not in Beijing at the moment,” Li Shengrong asked .
“Where is he?” Hou Shida’s mother asked .
“In a small village,” Li Shengrong replied .
“What?” The woman was surprised . “A small village?”
