Realizing that w.a.n.g Yao’s gaze was a bit strange, Li Ming asked, “What is it, Dr. w.a.n.g?”
“In those hospitals, did no one really discover the cause of your illness?” w.a.n.g Yao said bluntly.
“What?” Li Ming slightly stiffened.
The hospital in the city had actually discovered the cause of his illness and had prescribed some medicine. However, the effect of consuming the medicine was not very positive, so he did not persist. He went to the province and the medicine prescribed was more or less the same. He did not persist as well and did some superst.i.tious things instead. As a result, he became more and more ill. Of course, he could not say this.
“They’ve diagnosed and prescribed me some medicine. However, the effects were not very desirable,” Li Ming said.
“Oh.” w.a.n.g Yao nodded his head. He could see that Li Ming did not speak the truth, but he did not point it out.
It was his own body. w.a.n.g Yao could also do nothing if he did not speak the truth.
“Consume the medicine according to the formula. There should be an effect after a full course of treatment,” w.a.n.g Yao said truthfully.
He could not use the Miasma gra.s.s, at least not for now. Therefore, he used several other Chinese medicines to replace it, such as radix stemonae and fructus ulmi. There would definitely be an effect, but the process would be slower. His illness was less serious than Wei Hai’s.
System, is this a difficult-to-treat disease? He had a thought.
It’s not.
This was the system’s response.
Sure enough, diseases that could be treated by common medicinal herbs were not among the difficult-to-treat diseases.
After staying for a while, Li Ming made a move to leave. Pan Jun came to w.a.n.g Yao’s side.
“How’s my friend’s condition?”
“He does have an illness, and it should’ve been diagnosed long ago. However, he didn’t persist in taking the medicine. Hence his condition became more and more serious,” w.a.n.g Yao explained.
“Did he not take the medicine?”
“Yes, this is my speculation. It’s better for you to advise your friend to readjust his mentality of treating his illness.”
“Okay.”
In the morning, in addition to Li Ming, w.a.n.g Yao had also seen two patients, all of whom had common illnesses. w.a.n.g Yao prescribed them each some medicine.
It was 11 o’clock in the morning.
“It’s noon now. Why don’t we have a meal together?” Pan Jun said.
“Sure. I’ll invite two of my friends.”
w.a.n.g Yao then asked w.a.n.g Mingbao and the others along.
In the afternoon, w.a.n.g Yao was preparing to drive home when he received a phone call from Tian Yuantu saying that he had a guest. He was the famous university professor whom w.a.n.g Yao met last time. He happened to hear that w.a.n.g Yao wanted to build a house and needed designing. The professor actually took the initiative to say that he wanted to help. The professor was very prominent in the field of architectural design. Usually, ordinary people could not invite him even if they wanted to. The reason why he wanted to help this time was to thank w.a.n.g Yao for treating his illness last time.
“Okay, I’ll go over in a while.”
Later, w.a.n.g Yao drove to Tian Yuantu’s place and met the professor. After seeing w.a.n.g Yao again, the professor was very enthusiastic and kept thanking w.a.n.g Yao. w.a.n.g Yao’s medicine could be considered magical. It healed the old illness which had not completely healed for many years and freed him from the suffering of it.
“Professor Lu wants to see your small courtyard,” Tian Yuantu said.
“Sure. Let’s go take a look then.”
They then drove two cars to the mountain village where w.a.n.g Yao was.
It was a village-to-village project in the mountain village. There were cement roads, but they were also one-way streets. Therefore, they did not drive too fast. After driving down the asphalt road for another ten minutes, they arrived at the mountain village where w.a.n.g Yao was.
This mountain village was located in between the mountains.
The cars were driven directly to the south of the village and then parked. After getting out from the car, the courtyard was located at the east side of the road.
The two acacia trees grew very luxuriantly, but the inside of the courtyard was somewhat run-down.
“Here?”
“Yes, it’s here.” w.a.n.g Yao reached out his hand and opened the iron lock of the courtyard door. They went in.
The weeds were still piled up in the corner. Several tile-roofed houses were already crumbling. The state of dilapidation could not be described.
“Do you want to open a medical center here?” Professor Lu asked curiously.
These days, very few people used the term “medical center.” They were more used to using the term “clinics.”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Yao nodded his head while smiling.
“Opening a medical center in this ravine?” Professor Lu looked at the young man in front of him.
He had already experienced the roads when he came. It was a typical traffic inconvenience. Moreover, to open a Chinese medical center at such a young age, people might not come even if it was opened in the downtown area, let alone in this place.
I really don’t know what this young man thinks.
Although the professor had doubts in his mind, he still walked around the small courtyard and looked at it from the outside.
“Director Tian, are the measurements that you gave me last time accurate?”
“Yes, it’s accurate.”
“Good. How many stories are you planning to build?”
“Just one story,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
Now, they were all one-storied large tile-roofed houses in the entire mountain village. He did not want to be too different. Furthermore, he was not very interested in a villa. Instead, he preferred traditional architectures, such as the courtyard dwelling.
“Got it,” Professor Lu responded.
“I heard from Director Tian that you bought a hill. Can I go up and have a look?” Professor Lu asked with a smile.
“No problem.”
w.a.n.g Yao led the way in front. Three people went to Nanshan hill along the mountain road.
The mountain road was a little b.u.mpy. The weather was hot as well, but Professor Lu’s spirits were pretty high.
After turning around a mountain, Nanshan hill appeared in front of them.
“That’s Nanshan hill.” w.a.n.g Yao lifted his hand and pointed.
A hill stood there. There were trees on the hill, and a cottage could be seen vaguely.
Three people went up the hill.
The dog came out from its kennel and stared at the unfamiliar Professor Lu.
“San Xian, he’s a guest,” w.a.n.g Yao said to the dog.
“Phew! The mountain wind here is very nice!” This was Professor Lu’s first feeling after coming up. In fact, he had already entered the spirit gathering battle array.
When he came up the mountain just now, he even sweated. After all, it was already June now. However, after coming up the mountain and being cooled down by the mountain wind, he felt a lot more comfortable.
“Why don’t we drink some tea?” w.a.n.g Yao invited them into the cottage.
“What would you like to drink, Professor Lu? He has lots of fine tea here!” Tian Yuantu said with a smile.
“Really?” Professor Lu looked in the direction to which Tian Yuantu was pointing. Indeed, he saw lots of fine tea on the table.
Qimen black tea, West Lake Longjing, Wuyi rock tea, Dongting’s Biluochun tea…
“I didn’t think that Dr. w.a.n.g is a tea person.”
“I’m far from being a tea person. I just like to drink it,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Do you still have the tea that I drank at Director Tian’s place last time?”
“Yes.”
w.a.n.g Yao smiled while taking out the tea that originated from Nanshan hill and was hand-roasted by Xu Maosheng. Then, he used the ancient spring water to brew a pot.
The fragrance of the tea drifted out instantly.
“It’s aromatic!”
The fragrance of the tea a.s.sailed their noses even before it was drunk.
The tea turned light green in color, and it was pleasing to the eye. It had a mellow taste and a lofty fragrance. It was indeed top-grade tea.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, I won’t call you a doctor. It’s not too smooth to say that. Can I call just call you Yao?” Professor Lu said with a smile.
“Sure, of course, you can,” w.a.n.g Yao replied with a smile.
In fact, Professor Lu’s age was already more or less the same as his father’s.
“I’m quite envious of you. You drink top-grade tea and read a few books on this hill. This has to be Tao Yuanming’s life!” Professor Lu lamented.
Now, he had vaguely guessed why w.a.n.g Yao wanted to open the medical center in this small mountain village.
He did not like the hustle and bustle of the city.
He spent half an hour on the hill and drank a few cups of tea. Professor Lu felt very refreshed. His physical fatigue was swept away, and his spirit was also well unwound.
This feeling was like the feeling after staying a few nights at the famous Taoism mountain, Wudang.
“I’m actually a bit reluctant to leave now,” Professor Lu said with a smile.
Although having said that, he still had to go down the mountain.
They had not gone down the mountain and just arrived at the foot of the mountain. The mountain wind blowing against their bodies was no longer that cool anymore. It felt a bit hot.
The mountainside and the mountain foot are two different worlds!
After seeing Tian Yuantu and Professor Lu off, w.a.n.g Yao did not follow them back to Lianshan County. When Professor Lu left, he had promised that he would design a proposal as soon as possible.”
“Did you have friends come over?” Zhang Xiuying asked.
“Yes, Tian Yuantu and a university professor.”
“What is a university professor doing here?”
“I want to build a medical center on that piece of land that I bought. He happened to be a consultant for the real estate company opened by Brother Tian, so I invited him to come and take a look,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Oh, good,” Zhang Xiuying responded with a smile.
In their view, university professors were very knowledgeable people. The design produced by them would definitely not be poor.
