Everyone in the room wondered who Wang Yao was . They had too many questions in their heads .
“Good, he is stable now . ” Wang Yao stayed for an hour next to the soldier until he was stable .
He took a big sigh of relief . It had been such a critical moment just now . If he was a few minutes later, the soldier would have been dead . Although the soldier was fading away, Wang Yao could bring him back to life with one little spark of life .
Wang Yao stood up and was about to leave the room . All the shocked medical staff subconsciously gave way to him . They were all amazed by what had happened . They wondered what technique Wang Yao had used to bring a dead person back to life .
“Both Zhixing and his fellow soldier’s conditions are stable now . I need to make two more decoctions,” Wang Yao said to Song Ruiping .
“Is there anything you need us to do?” Song Ruiping asked .
“I need a quiet place,” Wang Yao said . “The cottage I used to stay at will do . ”
“OK, I’ll call Chen Ying now,” Song Ruiping said .
“I’ll go with you,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Chu Lian, drive them to the cottage,” Song Ruiping said .
“Yes, Ma’am,” Chu Lian said .
The three of them left the hospital .
Song Ruiping breathed a big sigh of relief as she was sitting on the sofa . A moment later, Su Xianghua called her . He was on a business trip overseas . She didn’t tell him what happened to Su Zhixing because she didn’t want him to worry .
“Hello, Xianghua,” Song Ruiping said on the phone .
“I heard Zhixing was injured,” Su Xianghua said .
“Yes, but he’s fine now,” Song Ruiping said “Wang Yao just came over . Zhixing is out of danger . ”
“Was in critical condition? Was it that bad?” Su Xianghua anxiously asked .
“Yes, but he is fine now,” Song Ruiping said . “Don’t worry . Just focus on your work . ”
She chatted with her husband briefly before hanging up .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao had arrived at the cottage with Su Xiaoxue and Chu Lian . Both Chen Ying and Chen Zhou were there .
“Dr . Wang, I’ve arranged everything for you,” Chen Ying said . She had prepared a pot and firewood for said .
“Great, thank you,” Wang Yao said .
“You are welcome,” Chen Ying said .
After thinking for a while, Wang Yao decided to use several licorice roots to brew a detox decoction . The dominating herb for the detox decoction was, naturally, detox grass . He also added frost grass into the decoction . He identified that the toxin had strong heat poison because Su Zhixing’s and the soldier’s bodies were burned by the toxin . The frost grass could offset the heat poison . Finally, he added Guiyuan into the decoction to harmonize the herbs . The composition was simple, but the herbs were not .
The firewood was making a crackling and rattling sound . Su Xiaoxue was waiting quietly next to Wang Yao .
“How did your brother get injured?” Wang Yao asked .
He didn’t think it was appropriate to ask too many details in the hospital . Now was a good time to ask questions .
“My brother had a mission at the border,” Su Xiaoxue said . “They were involved in a fight with a foreign army and he got injured . ”
“With a foreign army?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yeah,” Su Xiaoxue replied .
“It seems the army your brother serves has a big responsibility,” Wang Yao said .
Due to the nature of the licorice roots, he didn’t brew the decoction for long . Soon, the decoction was ready .
“Done . ” Wang Yao put out of the fire . “Just wait for it to cool down . ”
The weather was very pleasant . The wind was nice and cool at night .
“You must be tired after such a long trip,” Su Xiaoxue said as she was massaging Wang Yao’s shoulders .
“Not too tired,” Wang Yao said with a smile as he patted her hands .
The trip was nothing to him .
“I feel you’ve made progress with your practice recently,” Su Xiaoxue said .
“Really? Based on what?” Wang Yao asked .
“It’s hard to describe it . I can just feel the Qi in you is getting stronger,” Su Xiaoxue said . She could just sense it .
“I think I did make some progress,” Wang Yao said .
He had made progress in a thunderstorm some time ago . He had a close encounter with the world on the surface of the sea and released his energy freely . Afterward, he reached a new level . However, he didn’t expect Su Xiaoxue to sense it .
“I think you have made progress too,” Wang Yao said .
“Yeah, I didn’t stop practicing even when I was in the university,” Su Xiaoxue said . “I did the breathing exercise every morning and evening . I’ve also been practicing the Chinese boxing you taught me . ”
“Good . You’ll keep making progress if you don’t stop practicing,” Wang Yao said . “Well, the decoction is ready . We should go back to the hospital . I think your brother probably has woken up . ”
“Do you reckon he’s woken up?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
Meanwhile, Su Zhixing woke up from his coma in the VIP room of the hospital .
“Zhixing, can you hear me?” Song Ruiping asked as she looked at her son, who just opened his eyes .
“Yes,” Su Zhixing said .
He felt uncomfortable . It was as if his body didn’t belong to him . He felt hot one minute and cold the next . He felt awful and exhausted . His body was not listening to him . It took him great effort to even make a sound . He tried to speak, but the sound got stuck in his throat . Eventually, he could make a sound as low as mosquito singing .
“How do you feel?” Song Ruiping asked .
“I’m fine,” Su Zhixing said . He wanted to say more, but he couldn’t .
“Don’t speak, just rest,” Song Ruiping said .
She pressed the call bell . The medical staff immediately came over . The registrar doctor was surprised to see Su Zhixing awake . He examined him carefully and arranged for a blood test .
“Zhixing, hold on for a while,” Song Ruiping said . “Wang Yao went to brew a decoction for you . He’ll be back soon . ”
A moment later, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue returned to the hospital .
“Hey, you are awake!” Su Xiaoxue was thrilled to see her beloved brother awake .
“Thank you, Dr . Wang,” Su Zhixing said with great difficulty .
“You shouldn’t speak given your current condition,” Wang Yao said . “Just rest and take the decoction . ”
The warm decoction was very bitter . Su Zhixing took a small bowl of it .
“You rest . I’ll go check on your colleague next door,” Wang Yao said .
“OK,” Su Zhixing said .
Wang Yao went to check the soldier next door . He fed the soldier, who was still in a coma, the decoction and waited for nearly an hour next to the window . He didn’t leave until he made sure the soldier’s condition was stable and the decoction had started to work .
Ahem! Ahem! As he went back to Su Zhixing’s room, he heard Su Zhixing coughing .
“Can he eat anything?” Song Ruiping asked .
“Yes, he should be on a liquid diet, which is easier to digest, like rice porridge,” Wang Yao said .
“I’ll make some porridge for Zhixing,” Chu Lian said .
“Dr . Wang, how long will it take for my brother to fully recover?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“One month,” Wang Yao said .
Beep! Om! his phone rang . “Sorry, I need to take this call . ”
“What? Are you not in Dao?” Jia Zizai, who was on the other side of the phone, frowned . He had to change his plan .
“No, I had to leave for an urgent matter,” Wang Yao said . “I won’t return to my village or Dao anytime soon . I’ll talk to you in a month . ”
His priority was to treat Su Xiaoxue’s brother, his future brother-in-law .
“I see,” Jia Zizai said .
He lit a cigarette after hanging up .
“Dr . Wang has left?” Hu Mei asked .
“Yes, he left in a hurry,” Jia Zizai said . “He’s not in Dao or the village . I don’t know where he is . ”
“What are we going to do with Li Fang?” Hu Mei asked .
“We just have to explain to him what happened,” Jia Zizai said . “You never know what is going to happen next . ”
It started to get dark outside .
Su Zhixing and his fellow soldier went to sleep after taking the decoction . Sleeping was the best way to restore energy .
“You haven’t take a break today . Go back to the cottage,” Su Xiaoxue softly said .
“OK . They should be fine for now,” Wang Yao said . “Would you like to go back to rest as well, Auntie Song?”
“I’m fine . I’ll stay here,” Song Ruiping replied .
The VIP room was well-equipped . There was a sofa, extra bed, TV, and Wi-Fi connection inside .
“Xiaoxue, you can leave with Dr . Wang,” Song Ruiping said .
“OK,” Su Xiaoxue said .
Chu Lian drove Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue back . After dropping them off, she returned to the hospital .
“Do you have any lectures to attend tomorrow?” Wang Yao asked .
“I’ll take some time off,” Su Xiaoxue said . “I’ll go back to the hospital tomorrow morning . ”
“Don’t worry, I’m here . He’ll be fine,” Wang Yao gently said .
“I know . ” Su Xiaoxue nodded .
“Where are you going to stay tonight?” Su Xiaoxue asked .
“In the cottage,” Wang Yao said .
He was familiar with the cottage and used to staying there when he was in Beijing .
