“Of course. It’s completely fine with me if you come to talk with me about cases,” said w.a.n.g Yao, smiling.
He found that Su Changhe was not only knowledgeable, but also open-minded. Although Su Changhe’s background was western medicine, he had a good understanding of Chinese medicine. w.a.n.g Yao could learn a lot by talking about western medicine with him.
“Great,” said Su Changhe.
“We should leave now,” said Lu Xian.
“Make sure you take the decoction regularly and stop eating seafood,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Sure,” said Lu Xian.
He and Su Changhe left together in the car.
“Professor Su, that Dr. w.a.n.g is so young,” said Lu Xian in the car.
“Age is not an issue. Ganluo was sent on a diplomatic mission when he was only 12. He served as a minister. Laurence was only 25 when he received the n.o.bel Prize. Some people are just gifted,” said Su Changhe. “Dr. w.a.n.g is one of them.”
“Why does he stay in such a small village instead of a big hospital, if he is such a good doctor?” asked Lu Xian.
“Being a doctor is a profession. Like everyone else, doctors also need to make money and look after their family. He can see patients and make ends meet in his clinic. He doesn’t need to work in a big hospital. A good doctor like him will never be short of patients. Not everyone likes to stay in Beijing and Shanghai. Look at this village, the air is so fresh here. I think it’s quite nice to live here. Maybe sometimes it’s not as convenient living here compared to a big city, but to Dr. w.a.n.g, this village is his home,” said Su Changhe.
“You are right. But most young people prefer to stay in a big city nowadays. Not many are like him,” said Lu Xian.
“Make sure you follow his instructions on how to take the decoction. You must listen to his advice. Wei Hai is a good example. I thought he was going to die the first time I saw him. However, he was healthy and in good spirits the last time I saw him. He has pretty much completely gone back to normal. It is possible to be cured,” said Su Changhe.
“Hmmm, I see,” said Lu Xian.
Su Changhe went back to Haiqu City Hospital. He came to the hospital to provide guidance to the doctors rather than communicate with them.
Lu Xian didn’t stay in Haiqu for long. He took the decoction back to Beijing. Although he was still doubtful about w.a.n.g Yao, he decided to take the decoction for a while.
The next morning, w.a.n.g Yao drove his sister to work in Lianshan town center.
“Sis, you should ask my future brother-in-law to take you to work,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Stop talking nonsense,” said w.a.n.g Ru.
A lot of people went back to work on Monday.
“Another busy week has started. Sometimes I really envy you. You don’t need to go to work,” complained w.a.n.g Ru in the vehicle.
“You already have a good job,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“G.o.d treats you really well,” said w.a.n.g Ru.
“Hmmm, I agree with you,” said w.a.n.g Yao, grinning.
After he had dropped his sister at her workplace, he drove around in the town for a while, then went to w.a.n.g Mingbao’s store.
“Hey, what brings you here?” w.a.n.g Mingbao made w.a.n.g Yao a cup of tea.
“Since you are here, I just wanna talk to you about someone. Remember that Dr. Long?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.
“Yeah, what about him?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“He rang me to ask me to plead for your mercy,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.
“Really?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yeah, what did you do to him?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.
“Nothing special, I just paralysed him,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Haha, really? I like it!” w.a.n.g Mingbao took a mouthful of tea.
Prrr! He spit the tea back out.
“Gosh, it’s so hot,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao awkwardly.
“Take it easy. I’m not going to disturb you, I’ve gotta go anyway,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“You are not disturbing me, feel free to stay,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.
“Weren’t you been talking to Miss Han before I came?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“How do you know?” w.a.n.g Mingbao was surprised.
“Look at you! Your face is glowing like the spring sun. I really gotta go,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Okay, see you later.” w.a.n.g Mingbao had been talking to Han Jia before w.a.n.g Yao came. He hung up the phone as he saw w.a.n.g Yao enter the store.
“See you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He got into the car and drove home. His phone rang a moment later.
“h.e.l.lo?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g,” said the person at the other side of the phone.
“Dr. Long?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yes, it’s me,” said Long Yunfei at the other side of the phone.
He was ashamed and depressed. He sounded weak and lack of confidence. Actually he had lost all his confidence.
He was currently in Beijing due to his weird condition. He had seen a number of specialists in Beijing but none of them could help him. He went to see a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine Pract.i.tioner today. He was told that his meridians had been cut off. That was why he had been paralyzed. Although the pract.i.tioner could give him a diagnosis, he couldn’t cure him. The pract.i.tioner concluded that he would probably spend the rest of his life in the wheelchair.
Long Yunfei didn’t want to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He was not even 50 years old. He was in the prime of his life.
He had to surrender completely to w.a.n.g Yao.
Just looking at the potential quality of life he could have for the next 30 to 40 years, his pride was nothing.
“I’ll build a road for the village,” said Long Yunfei.
“Okay, wait for my call,” said w.a.n.g Yao briefly.
Hatred had grown between w.a.n.g Yao and Long Yunfei. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t expect it to go away easily.
A nasty person had to be punished.
w.a.n.g Yao found someone waiting for him outside his clinic once he returned.
“h.e.l.lo?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g,” said the person waiting for him.
“How are you?” said w.a.n.g Yao.
The person was Sun Changfeng. He came to the clinic with his mother, who looked good.
“Sorry to keep you waiting,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Not at all,” said Sun Changfeng with a smile. His mother had fully recovered. She looked much better. Sun Changfeng brought her here to be checked over by w.a.n.g Yao.
“Your mother is fine,” said w.a.n.g Yao after taking a good look at the elderly woman.
Actually, he had made that conclusion the last time he saw the elderly woman, but Sun Changfeng wanted rea.s.surance.
“Great, thank you,” said Sun Changfeng. He took out his bank card.
“Don’t worry about the fee.” w.a.n.g Yao shook his hand with a smile. He was not going to charge Sun Changfeng for checking his mother’s pulse. It didn’t take w.a.n.g Yao any time nor effort.
“Okay, thank you,” said Sun Changfeng.
“By the way…” Sun Changfeng stopped when he reached the door. “Can you treat ulcers, Dr. w.a.n.g?”
“Ulcers? I’m not sure. I would have to see the person first,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
In fact, he had cured ulcers before, and he still had some pear gra.s.s, a type of licorice root. It was not difficult for him to treat ulcers.
“I see, can I bring the patient here?” asked Sun Changfeng.
“Okay,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
Meanwhile, a woman was talking to her daughter in the village.
“You know what? The herbs given by Yao are quite effective.” The middle-aged woman had taken some herbs from w.a.n.g Yao’s clinic the other day. She had taken half of the herbs and felt much better. She had less acid reflux and hiccups.
“That’s good. Those herbs cost too much though,” said her daughter.
“I agree,” said the middle-aged woman.
The two ungrateful people didn’t understand that health was invaluable. They didn’t know w.a.n.g Yao had already given them a heavy discount.
“By the way, Mom, maybe we can get him to take a look at grandma’s leg,” said the middle-aged woman’s daughter.
“Hmmm, good idea,” said the middle-aged woman. “The fish is ready.”
“Mom, didn’t Yao ask you not to eat fish?’ said her daughter.
“It’s alright. I’ll only eat a little bit,” said the middle-aged woman.
Ephedra, angelica, root of the white peony, Panax notoginseng, licorice, Ziyu, Wuteng…
w.a.n.g Yao was preparing herbs on Nanshan Hill. He had all the herbs available.
He was going to brew Meridian unblocking powder.
This decoction could improve blood flow and resolve blood clots. It also could unblock the meridians. It was the best decoction to treat blood clots and thrombosis. Because the formula was provided by the system, it had some restrictions.
Maybe I can use the decoction as a guide. I can dilute the decoction by adding it into a common decoction.
w.a.n.g Yao thought about how he could do that.
He could continue to use the formula provided by the system as a concentrated liquid, then use decoctions with similar effect to dilute it. With such method, he could make more decoctions with the same effect of Meridian unblocking powder.
In Meridian unblocking powder, the licorice root was the leading herb. w.a.n.g Yao needed to find an herb with a similar effect to replace the licorice root. The herb must be able to improve the blood flow, reduce blood clots, and strengthen the meridians.
I’ll have to try.
He decided to try.
Let me think about how to get it to work.
Meanwhile, Sun Zhengrong was having dinner with his son in his house.
Sun Yunsheng only had vegetables for dinner.
“Dad, maybe we should buy a house in Lianshan so that we don’t need to spend a lot of time travelling, and you won’t be so tired,” said Sun Yunsheng.
“Hmmm, good idea, and we’ll have more time to communicate with Dr. w.a.n.g,” said Sun Zhengrong.
“How about buying a house in his village?” suggested Sun Yunsheng.
“Okay, I’ll have someone take a look tomorrow,” said Sun Zhengrong.
If Sun Yunsheng lived in w.a.n.g Family Village, he would b.u.mp into w.a.n.g Yao almost every day. It would be more convenient to receive treatment, and he would possibly gain even more.
Sun Zhengrong arranged someone to visit w.a.n.g Family Village the next day. The person asked around if anyone in the village wanted to sell their house. Several people expressed interest in selling their houses, but their houses were all very old. Those old houses which were built decades ago were no longer safe, but that person didn’t seem to mind. He bought two houses in good locations without hesitation.
