Chapter 952 Patien
“Someone with quite a background,” Miao Qingyuan replied after taking a sip of the tea .
“By the way, you have nothing to worry about regarding him . ”
“I haven’t seen you for years . How did you get here?”
“How?” Miao Qingyuan lowered his head and looked at the steaming tea on the table .
“When I left the village all those years ago, I thought of going somewhere far away to distance myself from the village and never keeping in touch with anyone from there . I especially thought about getting myself away from Miao Xihe,” Miao Qingyuan said . “I went to the north and the west, but I didn’t have much money with me . I eventually settled in the nearby He County . I thought of just settling down there and building a family . I figured I’d just live an uneventful life . I would have been nowhere near getting rich, but I would have had no huge troubles to deal with . But hell, with all that is happening with He County lately, as well as the village getting involved, Miao Qingfeng came looking for us . ”
“Are you guys considered the main family?”
“Main family? Hmph, everyone in the village has the Miao surname,” Miao Qingyuan replied . “Our ancestors were family to begin with! But Miao Qingfeng didn’t care for any of that . He is nothing but scum, just like Miao Xihe!”
“Do you still think about revenge?”
“I sure do,” Miao Qingyuan said . “How about you?”
“I do too . ”
“Me and you, we’re different though . You thought about it and you did something . I stopped at thinking and did nothing else . ” Miao Qingyuan chuckled . His smile looked rather bitter .
“I know what I’m made of,” Miao Qingyuan said . “If I stay out here any longer, I’ll end up dead soon . In truth, the very reason Miao Xihe let the likes of us live all these years was that he didn’t think of us as threats . So, he just didn’t bother dealing with us . That’s about it . ” He knew at least that much about himself .
“Do you have kids now?”
“A boy . ”
“How old?”
“He’s four years old now . ” Miao Qingyuan’s expression softened when he talked about his son .
“Good for you,” Miao Chengtang said . He felt a little envious .
Miao Chengtang was 30 years old . He wanted to have a family too . However, he never did anything about those thoughts back in the village because he knew of what was happening in the village, as well as all those hidden dark secrets . He laid low . He thought that even if he were unable to take revenge for his parents, he would never want his children to live a life like his .

Things were different now . He had escaped . The conversation he had with Miao Qingyuan made him think that he should change his lifestyle . He wanted to find a normal girl and have two children . The best scenario was to have a boy and a girl . His children would not have to be very smart or excel in their studies . Just having healthy children was enough for him .
“I’m still worried,” Miao Chengtang said .
“Are you worried that Miao Xihe is going to come for you?”
“Yeah . The more I know, the more terrifying I find him to be . ”
“This is Tianjin . How is he going to find you in such a huge city?”
“He will be able to if he really wants to . ”
“Still worried, eh?”
“Truth be told, I just want to live a normal life . ”
“A normal life?”
“I have bad dreams whenever I sleep lately,” Miao Chengtang said . He was unable to sleep well, which was not a life that he was after .
“To tell you the truth, I was just like you when I first escaped the village . I was unable to sleep and kept feeling like someone was on my tail . That will pass after a while . ”
“Things are different now,” Miao Chengtang said . “Both He and Qushan counties are in trouble, and many people have died . Miao Xihe is really, really pissed now . ”
“Did Tianchuan really do all that?”
“It was him alright . He will do anything to get his revenge . ”
“Why did you leave him?”
“I didn’t kill anyone, not in the village or outside of it, yet I was treated like a criminal all the same,” Miao Chengtang said . “I was being hunted all over the country like some rat . I had to hide all the time from both the village people and the national authorities . Miao Tianchuan has really changed . He is insanely dangerous . There is no telling when he would have made a move against his own people . ”
“Did you come all the way here just to get some good sleep before thinking of something else?”

“Yeah . ” Miao Chengtang nodded .
After saying goodbye to Miao Qingyuan, he went to his place in Tianjin . It was a rented house . While it was not a really high-class place, it still looked cozy . The rental was fully furnished .
He laid on the bed and closed his eyes . He quickly fell asleep . It was the first time he had been able to sleep soundly since he had escaped the village .
In a village, thousands of miles away…
A patient with a special case came to Wang Yao’s clinic .
She was a woman in her 20s . She had a huge bluish-black birthmark on the right side of her face, which made her rather pretty face look terrifying . As such, she styled her hair in a way that hid the birthmark .
“Dr . Wang, do you think you could do something to get rid of her birthmark?” A woman in her fifties had come with the young woman . She was the young woman’s mother . Her daughter was at an ideal age to get married, but no man wanted to marry a woman with such a huge birthmark on her face . Furthermore, the birthmark robbed her of her confidence . Also, going to the hospital would have been costly . Both of them heard about the village doctor having medical skills unlike any other, so they visited him .
“Sit down and let me have a look,” Wang Yao said .
The young woman sat down . Wang Yao checked her birthmark .
“Yeah, it’s something that you could be rid of . ”
“Really?” The older woman gasped in surprise .
“Really,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
“Umm, how should we get rid of it?”
“Well, the birthmark seems to be just on the surface . It doesn’t go too deep,” Wang Yao said . “First, I could entirely remove the mark . ”
“Remove the mark entirely? Do you mean cutting out the whole thing?”
“Yeah, that is what I mean . ”
“What?” The woman was dumbfounded hearing that suggestion .

“But it’s on her face . Won’t it leave a huge scar if you just cut the whole thing out? Won’t it look uglier?”
“I could return her face to normal after the surgery . ”
“Oh hell, I’m not buying this!” The young woman immediately refused .
“Let’s go . We’ll do something somewhere else . ” The mother took her daughter and went outside .
Wang Yao smiled and shook his head .
“Mom . ”
“If he were to give you meds to see if that worked, I’d have no problem with that . But surgery? I can’t believe such a young man turned out to be a fraud!” The older woman got increasingly angry as she talked .
“Well, we didn’t agree to it, right?” the daughter replied with a smile .
“Let’s go . I’ll take you to a hospital instead . ”
“There’s no need for that . Just leave it as it is,” the young woman said . She knew what kind of situation her family was in . They couldn’t afford the cost of doing it at a hospital . Furthermore, she had a little brother who was attending university . After he finished, he intended to find a job and buy a house in the city . All of that was going to cost a fortune, so her family was saving all their money for her little brother .
“Master,” Jia Zizai came into the clinic . “Were the mother and daughter here for treatment?”
“Yeah . ”
“That girl’s birthmark sure is frightening . I guess she doesn’t need to be afraid of bad guys when she goes out at night . ”
“Don’t make fun of other people’s shortcomings,” Wang Yao said with a stern tone .
“Well, alright, my bad,” Jia Zizai immediately said .
“So, what brings you here?”
“I caught a big fish in the river today, so I’m thinking of inviting you to my place to have fish soup . ”
“A big fish in this weather?”
“Yeah, just by the side of the river . ”
“Alright, sure . ” Wang Yao smiled and nodded .
“Couldn’t you do something about the girl’s birthmark?”
“I can, but they are not buying it,” Wang Yao said .
“Well, it’s their loss . ”
“A birthmark like that isn’t actually all that difficult to treat . It’s just on the surface of the skin, so it would be fine to just cut it out . ”
“Cut it out? Together with the skin? Wouldn’t that hurt a lot?!” Jia Zizai asked .
“It wouldn’t hurt that much, and I’d give her medicine to deal with the pain,” Wang Yao said .
“I think that girl would look stunning if she were to be able to get rid of that birthmark . ”
