Chapter 963: 963
Chapter 963 All Better
“Goddamnit! Sh*t! F*ck!” After he emerged from the clinic, Miao Chengtang continued to curse . He felt he and Xu Xinyuan had both been cheated .
He turned around to look at the clinic behind him . He felt an intense urge to burn the whole place down right there and then .
He opened the door and got into the car .
“That fast? Are you done with your treatment, Mr . Miao?” the driver asked anxiously seeing him getting in so quickly .
“Let’s go,” Miao Chengtang said . He was feeling frustrated .
The driver did not ask any further questions . He ignited the engine, turned the car around, and left the village .
“He had quite the temper . ” Wang Yao chuckled in his clinic .
“Worse still, he has other problems with his body that he doesn’t know yet . ”
The patient needed nothing else but the bowl of medicinal soup to eradicate the bugs . That sedge herb was capable of ridding one’s body of poisonous bugs, which had been tested time and again . Wang Yao cured Miao Chengtang of the bug curse, but the man’s internal organs, which were damaged from the bug infestation, had yet to be repaired . He needed further treatments to fix them . It was a pity that Miao Chengtang did not have the patience to go through with it .
“It’s quite a pity indeed,” Wang Yao mumbled . “If he leaves it as it is, he will live no more than 15 years . ”
Those bugs were indeed potent . They had done extensive damage to his lungs in an extremely short time . Worse still, they had traveled through his bloodstream and entered the other organs, damaging them to the core . Although the bugs had been removed, the damage they left behind had not been repaired . His body was destined to deteriorate faster than it should, and he would become prone to easily getting ill .
Valley of Thousands of Medicine, Miao Xihe, Blood Orchid, and sacred medicine? Wang Yao recalled what he was told about the valley by his patient .
Is that Miao Xihe an immortal or something?
The car sped on the road outside the village .
Miao Chengtang began coughing again . He felt pressure in his chest . It was as if something was pounding from within and was about to burst out .
He anxiously yelled at the driver, “Stop the car! Stop the car! I said stop the car!”
The car screeched to a stop by the roadside .
“What’s wrong, Mr . Miao?”
Miao Chengtang said nothing . He pushed the door open and went to the roadside . He spat out quite a bit of blood .

Huff… Huff… Huff…
He breathed heavily . The stench of blood filled his mouth, but he felt better after spitting out the blood . His lungs had become a lot lighter, and he no longer felt pressure or pain . He lowered his head and looked at the blood . There were blood clots in it .
“Damn you, Miao Xihe . Damn you, stupid doctor . ”
His stomach suddenly rumbled . It felt as if water was boiling in his stomach .
“What now?”
He was unable to hold it in anymore . He took off his pants behind a rock at the roadside and released . The diarrhea was so bad that he felt his legs getting limp .
The driver looked outside the window and thought, I wonder if Mr . Miao is doing alright .
Man, it’s already this time of the year, and the Spring Festival is just days away . I sure hope nothing else goes wrong . The driver was in a hurry to get back to Tianjin and meet up with his family .
I shouldn’t have let money fool me into taking up this job! He was feeling extremely frustrated .
However, Miao Chengtang, who just had explosive diarrhea behind the rock, felt even more frustrated . After he was finished, he dejectedly found that there was no toilet paper on him .
“Goddamnit!”
He wanted to call the driver over, but the situation was too embarrassing for him to do so .
“Oh, whatever!” He was at the side of the road and out in the wild . There was always something around .
He grabbed a few stones and took care of the problem .
The driver was just about to get out of the car when he saw Miao Chengtang emerge from the rock not far away . His face was a lot paler . “Mr . Miao, you don’t look so good . ”
“Drive . ”
“Where to?”
Miao Chengtang pondered it for a bit and said, “Back to Tianjin . ”

“Will do . ” The driver started the car and headed straight for Tianjin . He wanted nothing more than to go home .
Miao Chengtang laid on the seat . It felt as if all of his strength had been sucked away .
The car sped along the road . There were many cars on the road . Most people were rushing home several days before the holiday . All roads and highways throughout the country were experiencing the same conditions .
Miao Chengtang continued laying on the seat .
What happens now?
The bugs will eat my lungs, heart, intestines, and everything else . They will then burst through my stomach, and my blood would spill over the floor . I will die . It’s just that I don’t where I’ll die . Maybe it will be in Tianjin, or maybe it will be on the road back to Tianjin . I’m done for . He stared outside the window with eyes that looked dead .
“Mr . Miao, you don’t look so good . Maybe you should take a nap . ”
“Sure, be careful on the road,” Miao Chengtang lethargically replied . He had no intention of talking much at such times . He was not in the mood .
His current disposition was best described as being totally dead inside .
He wanted to die peacefully, but that was not something that would ever come true .
The car kept steadily moving down the road . The scenery outside the window continued to go backward . The sky gradually turned dark . Miao Chengtang was tired enough that before he realized it, he had fallen asleep .
By the time he woke up, it was dark outside . The car remained traveling along the highway .
Huh?
“You’re awake . ”
Miao Chengtang sat up and moved his body a little bit .
“Feeling better now? You’ve been sleeping for two hours and a half,” the driver said .
“Two hours and a half?”
“Indeed . ”

Miao Chengtang looked outside the window . He saw lights from a city that was foreign to him from far away .
“Are you hungry? Should we find someplace to eat?”
“Sure . ” He was feeling hungry .
After driving for quite a while still, the car came to a rest area on the highway . They got out of the car and ate something . They needed a break .
“Man, this is tiring!” The driver stretched for a bit .
He ate and drank something before lighting a cigarette .
“That doctor really is something,” the driver said .
“Huh?” Miao Chengtang was dumbfounded .
“It has only been more than three hours since you came out of the clinic,” the driver said . “You coughed three times . Except for the first time, where you coughed exceptionally hard, the remaining two times were light coughs . ”
“My gosh, it’s true!”
Miao Chengtang realized that as well . He had felt dead inside throughout the journey . He thought that he would soon bite the dust . He had been completely oblivious to the changes in his body .
His coughs had been far less frequent . He did not spew any blood . The pains and pressure in his chest were more than halved .
Are his meds really that good? Miao Chengtang remained dazed .
Have I actually gotten better?
“Shall we move on?” The driver had taken enough rest . He was anxious to go home to his family .
“Sure, let’s go . ” Miao Chengtang had regained some bit of strength .
I might have actually gotten better!
The car sped away . They finally reached Tianjin after midnight .
Miao Chengtang expressed his thanks and gave the driver some more money before he got out of the car and returned home .
He did not bother washing up after getting inside . He immediately slumped on his bed . He recalled the arduous journey and all he had experienced in the trip, especially that young village doctor .
It looks like I’ve really gotten better .
He had been on the road for hours after coming out of that rest area . He never coughed again, and the discomfort in his chest had waned .
He was unable to believe it .
He was unable to believe that he had gotten better .
Due to the exhaustion from the journey, he fell asleep before he knew it . By the time he woke up, it was almost noon .
He slept very well that night . After he woke up, he still felt rather tired . He was also famished . He cooked some noodles and added two eggs . He ate well .
Ring! Vrrrr…
He received a call before he was done with his meal . It was Xu Xinyuan . He asked about how the treatment went .
“Gosh, you’ve been too impulsive!” Xu Xinyuan was upset to hear that Miao Chengtang had been rude to Wang Yao .
“He’s the real deal . Didn’t I tell you that before?”
“It was my fault . I had been too unwell to think and lost all sense of reasoning . By the time I realized he was right all along, I was already out of Qi Province . I’ve decided to make a trip over there after the holiday celebrations are over to apologize to the doctor personally . ”
