Governor Guo told the man Wang Yao’s name and the location of his clinic .
“OK, I’ve got it . ” The man wrote down the address .
“If you are not well, I suggest you see him as soon as you can,” Guo Zhenghe said after thinking for a moment .
“I’ll remember your words,” the man said .
He picked his hat up from the table, put it on, and left .
“Poisonous insects?” Guo Zhenghe repeated the words as he leaned on a chair .
He remembered when he was poisoned and very sick in Qi province . He had gone to see Wang Yao . Later on, his sister told him that he was attacked by a rare poisonous insect . He would have died if Wang Yao hadn’t saved him with licorice roots .
I wish we could be just like before! Guo Zhenghe thought .
Ahem! Ahem! The man who had met with Guo Zhenghe started to cough after he left the wooden house . It was as if something was inside his throat .
He soon threw up . He took a look at what came out of his throat . He was shocked . It was like being hit by thunder . He had vomited bloody sputum .
The blood was not the worst part . He saw a small worm moving in the sputum . It was as small as a thread . He was not hallucinating .
How could it be?
He felt there was still something wiggling in his throat . He crazily ran toward his car, took out a bottle of spring water, and tried to rinse his throat . After he had finished one bottle, he opened another bottle . He did that until the terrible smell in his mouth faded . However, it was not over .
No! It is still there!
There was nothing inside his throat . He just thought he had felt something .
He decided that instead of going to the hospital he would go to Wang Yao’s clinic . He nervously got into his BMW and drove off .
Calm down! Calm down! His hands were shaking .
Creak! He slammed on the brakes as he almost hit some pedestrians .
“Do you know how to drive?” a pedestrian angrily asked him .
Thank goodness I didn’t hit him! He took out a bottle of water and started to drink . He started his car again and tried to drive slowly .
Once he arrived home, he packed up his luggage and set off after notifying his family . He called a taxi to take him to the nearest airport . He bought a direct ticket to Dao, but he had to wait for a few hours to board .
He anxiously waited in the airport, constantly checking the time . As soon as he got the notice to board, he couldn’t wait to get on the plane . It was evening when the flight landed in Dao .
I should check myself in a hotel, the man thought .
After checking into a hotel, he had a simple dinner and went to sleep . He awoke in the middle of the night and rushed to the toilet .
He started to vomit . Everything he had for dinner came out, along with dark red blood . The light in the toilet was soft, but he still spotted the tiny worms in the blood .
No!
He turned on the tap to flush all the worms down the pipe and started to intensely brush his teeth . At last, he squatted inside the bathroom with his hands on his head and started to sob .
He wondered why this was happening to him . He was just an herb grower . He had done nothing wrong . He just wanted a peaceful life . He didn’t understand why he had to suffer like that .
“Ouch!” He suddenly sensed a sharp pain in his stomach .
Damn it!
He didn’t sleep that night . He just quietly laid on his bed until morning . He checked out of the hotel before it was light . He called a taxi to take him to Lianshan town center .
“Do you want to go to Lianshan?” the taxi driver asked .
“Yeah, how much does it cost?” the man asked .
“$500,” the taxi driver replied .
“No problem . ” He paid the taxi driver without hesitation . He didn’t want anything to happen to him on his way to the clinic, so he gave the driver $600 and said, “Drive fast please . ”
“No problem . Sit tight,” the taxi driver said .
Two hours later, they arrived in Lianshan . The driver was not from Lianshan, so he didn’t know where the village was . The man swapped to a different taxi . As soon as the driver knew where he was headed, he drove the man to the south end of the village . They stopped outside an Anhui-style house .
“Here it is,” the driver said as he pointed at the house with a grey roof and white walls . “Are you a local?”
“No,” the man said .
“Are you here to see Dr . Wang?” the taxi driver asked .
“Yes,” the man replied .
“Dr . Wang is fantastic,” the driver said as he lifted his thumb .
“Have you seen him before?” the man asked .
“No, but an old man from my village went to see Dr . Wang,” the taxi driver said . “He had been limping for several years but was cured in a month by Dr . Wang . He is fantastic!”
“I see,” the man said .
“Well, I have to go . Good luck,” the taxi driver said .
“Thank you,” the man replied .
After he had paid the rest of the fee, he got out of the taxi . He walked to the clinic and gently knocked on the door .
“Please come in . ” A voice came out of the clinic . The voice was very clear . It was as if the person was speaking next to him .
The man opened the door and entered the courtyard, which looked elegant . He suddenly started to feel comfortable and calm . He soon saw a young man in his 20s looking at him . The young man had calming eyes .
Wang Yao quickly identified the man’s problems, including the lack of strength in his lower limbs, dark-colored face, unenergetic eyes, and shortness of breath .
Hmm? He also heard a strange noise inside the man’s stomach .
“Hello, Dr . Wang,” the man said .
Wang Yao could tell the man was not local based on his accent . “Please sit down . How can I help you?”
“I’ve been having stomach pain and vomiting,” the man anxiously said . “I think I have poisonous worms inside me . ”
“How do you know the symptoms are caused by poisonous worms?” Wang Yao asked .
“I vomited and passed a lot of worms out,” the man replied .
“I see . Let me take a look,” Wang Yao said .
After having a good look at him, he knew the man was right . The poisonous worms had invaded almost all of his organs .
“When did you start to have symptoms?” Wang Yao asked .
“More than 20 days ago,” the man said . “I didn’t pay attention to the symptoms at first, but my condition got worse . I realized I had been affected by the poisonous worms . ”
“Where are you from?” Wang Yao asked .
“Southern Yunnan,” the man replied .
“That’s a long way from here,” Wang Yao said with surprise . “How did you find me here?”
“Someone recommended that I see you,” the man said .
“Why didn’t you go to see the King Pharmacist?” Wang Yao asked . “He’s in southern Yunnan and very famous . ”
“The King Pharmacist is a good doctor, but he’s got too many weird rules,” the man said .
He had thought about going to see the King Pharmacist, but he knew the King Pharmacist wouldn’t see anyone if he was in a bad mood . He happened to learn about Wang Yao from Guo Zhenghe, so he went there instead .
“Doctor, do you think my condition is treatable?” the man asked .
“Of course,” Wang Yao said with a smile . “You don’t have cancer, and the poisonous worms haven’t gotten into your brain . ”
“Oh, that’s good,” the man said with relief . He was now less anxious .
“Please wait here for a moment . I’ll come back soon,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” the man replied .
Wang Yao went to a different room, leaving the man in the clinical room alone . The man had a chance to take a good look at the room . The room’s decorations were very simple, even shabby in certain aspects .
The chair looks really old, he thought . The doctor should get a new desk .
A moment later, Wang Yao came back with a porcelain bottle . “This is the decoction I made for you . Take it twice a day in the morning and evening . You will have stomach pain after taking the decoction, but that’s OK . The worms inside your body will disappear in three days . Come back after three days . ”
“OK, how much should I pay you?” the man asked .
“It will be $10,000,” Wang Yao replied .
“What?” The man was shocked . He didn’t expect the decoction would cost so much .
Is he a fraud? the man thought .
“Do you think it costs too much?” Wang Yao asked .
The formula was quite straightforward . It contained half a leaf of miasma grass and licorice, but it was very effective . Wang Yao was pretty sure the decoction would get rid of all the worms inside the man’s body . Plus, he couldn’t get the same decoction anywhere else .
“I’ll pay,” the man said .
He had come all the way there . He had to give it a try, even though it cost much more than he had expected . He left after paying for the decoction .
