Miao Tianchuan didn’t say anything . He picked up the wine cup on the table and drank its contents in one gulp . The liquor had quite a kick . It burned as it slid down his throat .
After keeping silent for a long time, Miao Tianchuan said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to go back ever again . ”
“Yes, I am aware of that . ” Miao Qingshan nodded .
There were some things one knew couldn’t be done . There were some places one could never go . That didn’t prevent one from thinking about it . Thinking about such things often led to nothing good .
“Come on, let’s drink . ”
The two drank quite a lot of wine . Each man harbored his own thoughts .
When they left, snowflakes were drifting in the sky . It was pretty rare for snow to fall in that area .
“It’s snowing . ” Miao Tianchuan lifted his head and gazed up at the sky . The thin snowflakes leisurely floated down from the sky . He just stood there as he gazed at the snowflakes . He was entranced . It was as if those snowflakes had a unique magical power .
Thousands of miles away in Qi Province, it was also snowing . The snow was quite heavy there, flurrying all about . Before long, there was a vast expanse of white between the sky and earth .
The mountains danced like silver snakes, and the highlands charged like wax-hued elephants .
“It’s snowing again . It seems that there’s a lot more snow in recent years!” Jia Zizai stood in the yard, looking at the sky . It was gloomy watching the snow slowly fall . There was no wind blowing .
“Ah, what a day . I don’t think the snow will stop for quite a while . ”
The sky was gloomy and windless . After starting, it seemed the snow wouldn’t stop anytime soon .
“On such a day, it’s suitable to have a small glass of wine . Wifey, can you fry up a few dishes at noon?”
“Sure,” Hu Mei said with a smile .
In the clinic, Wang Yao treated Pan Jiayou’s mother for the second time . The effect was even more obvious this time . The old woman’s legs had an obvious response to Wang Yao tapping on them .
“Oh, Dr . Wang, your treatments are miraculous!” the old woman exclaimed .
As a patient, she had the most right to speak up . She knew best what state her body had been in . Her legs had no other feelings except cold and pain . Her entire body had felt awful and cold all over . She could neither sit nor lie down comfortably . She had no appetite, and she could not sleep . Those torturous days had repeated day after day . Her spirit had gotten worse . Now, after only two days of treatment, she could clearly feel that her body was getting better . At least, her legs were not cold and painful anymore . Her body also felt warm, so she appeared more spirited .
“You flatter me,” Wang Yao said with a smile .
The old woman’s condition was not particularly serious, so it was not difficult to treat .
“All done . You can come back tomorrow . ”
“Thank you, thank you so much!” Looking at his mother’s rosy face and happy smile, Pan Jiayou felt happiness gush out from the bottom of his heart . He was even happier than if he had made a countless amount of money .
“It’s snowing, so drive slowly and have a safe journey . ”
“Oh, noted, thank you . ”
After expressing their gratitude a million times, the mother and son left the clinic . They got into the car and went back to the county’s town center .
After getting on the car, the old woman exclaimed her heartfelt emotions . “We made the right choice in traveling thousands of miles here!”
“Yes,” Pan Jiayou said .
“To be honest, when I first met Dr . Wang, I was still quite skeptical,” the old woman said . “Tell me, what kind of abilities could such a young man have? Indeed, we can’t judge a human by their appearance!”
“I thought the same way when I first met him,” Pan Jiayou said . “If not for Zheng Weijun’s introduction, I would not have come here . Who would have thought that his medical skills would be so powerful and that there existed such a young skilled master in such a small mountain village?”
“When he has cured me, we have to thank him well!”
“Don’t worry, I will make sure to thank him well,” Pan Jiayou said .
Although the price Wang Yao had charged for the medicine was not cheap, it was merely peanuts to him . As long as his mother was healthy and could stand up, he would pay any amount necessary .
The snow showed no signs of stopping . It went on for the whole day and into the evening .
That night, the sun was setting behind Nanshan Hill .
Wang Yao stood on the hill and looked up at the sky .
“It seems that it will keep snowing until tomorrow morning . ”
The dog standing beside him looked up at the sky and wagged its tail from time to time .
“Alright, go to bed . ” He rubbed the dog’s head . He pushed the door open and went inside the hut .
A moment later, chanting could be heard coming from inside the hut .
The hill’s three guards, which were outside the hut, listened quietly until the chanting stopped . Afterward, they returned to their own places to rest .
The next morning, just before dawn, the snow stopped .
Upon opening the door, the scene of snow blanketing the mountain greeted Wang Yao .
In the early morning, Zhong Liuchuan, Jia Zizai, and Hu Mei walked through the snow and went up Dongshan Mountain .
On the mountain, the wind was chilly, and the world was snow white . There were three people and several rows of footprints .
The three people sat on the mountain . They soon entered a state of meditation, which lasted for nearly two hours .
Huu… The first one to wake up was Jia Zizai .
“Sure enough, it’s the best way to practice in this weather . ”
Following that, Hu Mei woke up . Zhong Liuchuan was the last to awake . In a way, this reflected the three people’s level of cultivation .
“Senior, if you have nothing to do at noon, how about having a drink?”
“No thanks . ”
While the three of them were coming down the mountain, they bumped into Pan Jiayou, who was just coming in from outside the village .
“Did he come to find Sir for treatment?”
“Yes, he’s been here for three days,” Jia Zizai said . “The patient is an old woman with some trouble walking . Her son is very filial . ” He was well-informed about the happenings in the village .
“Is he from out of town?”
“They’re from Jiangsu . ”
The three people chatted idly before going to their respective homes .
In the clinic, Wang Yao began to treat an elderly patient . In addition to the Tuina massage, he was also using acupuncture . The first two treatments had garnered better results than he had expected, so he had accelerated the treatment .
The main parts of the acupuncture treatment were the old woman’s back and legs .
Stab, rub, twist, lift…
In regards to acupuncture, not only should the acupoints be precise, but other skills also had to be mastered . It was a very deep treatment . Just that part of what Wang Yao had mastered had been lost many years ago .
The treatment lasted longer this time . It exceeded two hours . After it ended, it was almost time for their meals .
“Dr . Wang, do you have some free time in the afternoon?” Pan Jiayou asked .
“Yes . Why?”
“Oh, I’d like to invite you to a meal and express my gratitude . ”
“There’s no need for that, I’ll be going to Jing tomorrow . I have to go home and prepare for it . ” Wang Yao refused his kindness with a smile .
“Next time . ”
“We’ll see . ”
After paying the medical fees, they took the three doses of medicines prescribed by Wang Yao and left the clinic . They got into the car and went directly back to Jiangsu Province .
Wang Yao closed the clinic and returned home . As he had said, he had to pack his things and prepare to set off for Jing .
The things he was taking along were very special . They were seasonal fruits and some local specialties . Moreover, the way of carrying and preservation was very special . They were stored in the system’s lattice .
“Setting off tomorrow?”
“Yes, I have a flight tomorrow morning,” Wang Yao said . “I’ll be flying from Dao and will reach Jing on the same day . I have already told Xiaoxue . ”
“You don’t have to rush back this time . ”
“OK . ”
He had also brought something else to give to his second aunt’s family . His mother had been very thoughtful .
The next day, he left the mountain village with only a small suitcase and went straight to Dao . He boarded his flight for Jing .
