w.a.n.g Yao did not hurry up the hill but stayed at home to help his mother prepare dinner instead.
While preparing dinner, Zhang Xiuying said, “Uncle Fengxiang from the front house is very ill.”
“Have you gone to see him with Father?”
“Yes, we visited him this morning. His wife said that the best result would be hemiplegia. What’s worse is that he might not be able to stand up again,” Zhang Xiuying replied.
“When I usually see him, he’s physically fit. How can he collapse just like that?” she said with a hint of sorrow.
“He’ll get better,” w.a.n.g Yao rea.s.sured her.
During dinner that night, w.a.n.g Yao’s parents talked about the matter again.
After thinking for a while, w.a.n.g Yao said, “I’ll go take a look at him tomorrow.”
“Can you heal this disease?” w.a.n.g Fenghua asked.
“I’ll have to take a look first,” w.a.n.g Yao answered.
If it was just a normal thrombosis, he had the confidence to treat it.
The Blood Deblocking Powder activated the blood and cleared it of contaminants. It could dredge the channels and collaterals.
In fact, this medicine was not needed. Even boiled Ziyu could achieve the purpose of activating the blood and evacuating depression.
If it was some other illness, then it would be necessary to make some changes again.
“Okay, go ahead then,” w.a.n.g Fenghua said.
Nothing happened the whole night.
Early morning the next day, after practicing, w.a.n.g Yao went down the hill. He asked his parents for the location of w.a.n.g Fengxiang’s ward. Then, he drove to Lianshan County. After buying some things at a mall, he went directly to the county hospital.
Soon, he found the ward where w.a.n.g Fengxiang was. His wife was also there.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“Yao, why are you here?!” He Xiuhua was a little surprised after seeing w.a.n.g Yao.
His parents just came to visit yesterday, and now their son came. Although these two families were just living in the front and rear houses, they did not have anything else in common. w.a.n.g Yao’s family also did not hesitate when lending money to them.
“Is w.a.n.g Fengxiang better?”
“Yes.” He Xiuhua nodded.
In fact, a few days of injections did not improve his condition. He was unable to move the right side of his body. The doctor’s explanation was that the blood clots in the brain oppressed the nerves there. Therefore, motion commands could not be transmitted.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, w.a.n.g Yao was thinking about how to bring the matter up.
He wanted to treat w.a.n.g Fengxiang’s disease. Firstly, he had to diagnose and feel his pulse.
“Aunty, I know some pharmaceutical methods. Would you let me take a look?” w.a.n.g Yao said softly to He Xiuhua.
Huh? He Xiuhua was stunned.
“Okay.” She nodded almost subconsciously.
Although she did not know when the promising young man in the village learned medicine, there was no reason for him to come over with some gifts and cheat them.
Sure enough, w.a.n.g Yao found that the channels and collaterals were blocked. He could heal this disease.
He looked at the middle-aged man lying on the bed. After putting out the fire on the hill that day, he had once treated this man to dinner at his house. At that time, he was still pretty good at drinking and drank three gla.s.ses of wine. Only several days pa.s.sed and he was lying in a hospital bed.
Life can be so fragile!
At the side, He Xiuhua asked, “How is he?”
“He has thrombosis, and it hasn’t lysed,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
In fact, once thrombosis was formed, it would be very difficult to lyse. This was like a blocked sewer. It was almost impossible to unblock it unless a force was applied from the outside.
What if I treated the disease using acupuncture?
w.a.n.g Yao suddenly had such a thought in his mind.
Medicine might not be needed, or a different medicine could be used to lyse the blood clot.
At that moment, he felt that he should think of an idea as quickly as possible in order to move forward.
“What did the doctor say?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“The doctor said that he could be discharged from the hospital after another three days of injections,” He Xiuhua replied.
Three days? w.a.n.g Yao looked at w.a.n.g Fengxiang who was lying on the bed. As for his current condition, it would already be wonderful to recover in 30 days, let alone three days. w.a.n.g Yao lifted his head to look at the medicine w.a.n.g Fengxiang was using now. He did not have a lot of knowledge in regards to Western medicine. He thought that the medicine used would be the ordinary medicine for thrombolysis. These medicines had some considerable side effects. They could indeed achieve the purpose of thrombolysis, but at the same time, they would also weaken the walls of the blood vessels.
“Then, after Uncle is discharged, I’ll go to your house and take a look.”
“Okay.” He Xiuhua did not know what w.a.n.g Yao discovered. She did not understand as well, so she only responded.
After staying at the hospital for a while, w.a.n.g Yao made a move to leave and drove straight home.
Seeing that her son had returned, Zhang Xiuying went forward and asked, “How is he?”
“I can heal Uncle Fengxiang’s disease, but I’ll have to wait until he comes back,” w.a.n.g Yao answered.
He needed to use several unique herbs. According to his current ability, the disease could only be healed using licorice roots. However, he could not use it in the hospital, so he could only wait for w.a.n.g Fengxiang to be discharged from the hospital. Fortunately, nothing unexpected should happen three days.
“That’s good.”
After having lunch at home, w.a.n.g Yao went up Nanshan hill.
In the afternoon, two more people went up the hill. It was Zhou Xiong and his son who came to Lianshan County from Cangzhou.
“When did you arrive?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“A day ago. We just settled down,” Zhou Xiong replied. “I brought some local specialties for you to taste.”
“Thank you.”
w.a.n.g Yao was embarra.s.sed to reject the food he brought from far away.
“I’ll take a look at Wukang now.”
“Okay.”
After hearing this, Zhou Wukang hurriedly unb.u.t.toned his sleeves and revealed his arms. This time, the skin of his arms was quite smooth, which was different from the last time. This was definitely a good sign. After that, w.a.n.g Yao checked his pulse. Some of the channels and collaterals of his arms had already been dredged. A part of his blood had already been cleared as well.
“Has the medicine been used up?”
“Yes, it’s finished,” Zhou Xiong responded.
In fact, the medicine given by w.a.n.g Yao had already been used up long ago. He invited the old Mr. Sang in Cangzhou to treat his son with acupuncture. Then, they came to Lianshan County.
“Well, he’s recovering quite well. I’ll decoct another medicine for you.”
“Alright.”
Both father and son stayed on the hill for a while. w.a.n.g Yao also used the ma.s.saging therapy to dredge his channels and collaterals. The whole process took more than an hour. He only stopped after Zhou Wukang’s entire arm turned red.
“Go back and rest well. I’ll inform you when the medicine is ready.”
“Then, we’ll go back first.”
w.a.n.g Yao walked them out of the herbal field and returned to the room.
Wei Hai’s illness is more or less healed. Zhou Wukang’s condition is also starting to improve. The illness of Secretary Yang’s mother should more or less recover after using a few more doses of medicine. Thus, this task is finally taking a big step forward, w.a.n.g Yao thought to himself.
Ten cases of difficult-to-treat illnesses—it was already difficult to discover these diseases, let alone treat them.
It can’t be rushed!
In the evening, w.a.n.g Yao prepared some medicinal herbs again and planned to start decocting the Blood Deblocking Powder the next day. The medicinal herbs he had were only enough for this medicine.
This is still too poor! He sighed.
That night, the mountain wind outside was a bit strong.
The next day, the sun was high in the sky. It was pleasantly cool in the cottage. There was a thermometer hanging on the wall that showed 20 degrees Celsius.
Holding a cattail-leaf fan, w.a.n.g Yao was decocting a formula.
The herbal medicine was slightly boiling in the multifunctional pot for herbs above the flame. The scent of the medicine drifted out.
He added some firewood from time to time.
A cup of tea was placed to the side. He had to drink more water while he was near the fire.
After a whole morning, he succeeded in decocting the medicine.
Not bad.
He divided the medicine into two portions; one was for Zhou Wukang, and the other was to be brought to Jing City for Su Xiaoxue.
At noon, he originally did not want to go down the mountain, but he heard someone calling for help at the foot of the hill.
He followed the direction of the sound and looked outside, only to see a group of people surrounding the small reservoir at the foot of Nanshan hill.
Someone is drowning! w.a.n.g Yao realized instantly.
He could not help but think of his experience at that time. The path of his life changed because he saved someone then.
I’ll go down and take a look.
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he immediately went down the hill.
The reservoir was not huge. It was located in the northeast corner of Nanshan hill and was used to store water for irrigating the farmland in the village. In the past, when the weather was scorching hot, the villagers would come here to take a bath. However, after someone drowned in here a few years ago, no one dared to come again. That day, it was not known why someone came to bathe, and this resulted in an accident.
A lot of people surrounded the reservoir. A few men who were good at swimming had already entered the water to save the person.
w.a.n.g Yao came to the sh.o.r.e and looked at the reservoir.
After a while, someone sprang out of the water, dragging out a person with his hands.
“I found him!”
The people in the water rushed over to help and dragged the drowning person onto the sh.o.r.e.
He was a teenager.
“Quickly, drive him to the hospital!”
“Wait.” w.a.n.g Yao went forward to try.
“He still has a pulse!”
