w.a.n.g Yao gave Sun Yunsheng the same treatment, a combination of Qi therapy and herbs.
Phew!
Sun Yunsheng breathed a big sigh of relief at the end of the session.
He had a feeling of being revived.
After chatting with w.a.n.g Yao for a short while, Sun Yunsheng left the room while Sun Zhengrong stayed behind.
“Is there anything you want to talk to me?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yes, Dr. w.a.n.g. I want to ask about my son’s condition,” said Sun Zhengrong.
“He’s recovering well.” Sun Zhengrong had asked the same question three days ago and w.a.n.g Yao gave him the same answer.
“Hmmm, Dr. w.a.n.g, is it possible for my son to have children?” asked Sun Zhengrong after thinking for a moment.
Have children?
So, he stuck around to ask me this.
“Unlikely,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
The heat toxin was like fire. It damaged every part of Sun Yunsheng’s body, inside out. It was already a miracle for him to be alive. In addition, Sun Zhengrong had used Yin energy from women by forcing them to have intercourse with his son. w.a.n.g Yao had no idea where Sun Zhengrong heard of such a horrible way to keep his son alive. As a result, his son had lost a lot of original Yang energy. It would be extremely hard for Sun Yunsheng to have children.
“I see. Is there anyway to make it possible for him to have children?” Apparently, Sun Zhengrong didn’t want to give up.
He wanted his son to inherit his business, but he didn’t know how long his son would survive. He also didn’t know whether his son could give him any grandchildren. If not, it would be a horrible punishment for him.
“I’ll try my best to find a way,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Thank you,” said Sun Zhengrong.
After Sun Zhengrong and Sun Yunsheng had gone, w.a.n.g Yao went back inside the private room of his clinic to think about how to treat Sun Yunsheng.
Meanwhile, Long Yunfei was trying to help build a road for the village in Shangjun, which was thousands of miles away from Lianshan.
“Dr. Long, why are you so keen to help them build a road?” asked a senior officer of the local government.
“Look, the villagers there had just experienced a contagious disease. I was there to help stop the spreading of the disease. The traffic there was terrible. Some of the villagers’ treatments was delayed because of that,” said Long Yunfei.
“Oh, thank you for thinking of the villagers. You haven’t forgotten them, even when you are not well yourself. Don’t worry, I will ask around for you. Once I hear something, I’ll let you know,” said the senior officer.
“Thank you very much,” said Long Yunfei.
His a.s.sistant propelled him out of the local government office.
“Hey, Mr. Zhang, who is he?” asked another officer after Long Yunfei had left.
“An officer from the Department of Health in the province,” said Officer Zhang.
“What was he doing here?” asked the other officer.
“He came to ask about the urban planning in our county,” said Officer Zhang.
“Why does an officer from the Department of Health wants to know about urban planning? He’s already in a wheelchair,” asked the other officer curiously.
“Don’t look down upon him. Although he can’t walk, he has broadened the social network in the county. He made a big contribution during the fight against the contagious disease that plagued us before. He was praised by the leader of the local government. It’s a shame that he is unwell, otherwise he would be promoted in no time,” said Officer Zhang with a sigh.
“Nowadays, not many people like him care about poor people,” said the other officer. “So why does he care about the road?”
“You know the financial status of our county. We don’t have the money to build any road. It will cost at least several millions of yuan to build such a road,” said Officer Zhang.
“Yes, at least,” said the other officer.
“Even if we had the money available, it wouldn’t be our priority to build a road in that area,” said Officer Zhang.
After Long Yunfei had left the Department of Infrastructure of Jia County, he wasn’t too upset. His recent experience opened his mind and made him think a lot about his life. He had expected barriers to building a road for the village. After all, Jia County was very poor. The local government didn’t have the money. Even if they had the money, they would probably build a road somewhere less isolated instead. After all, the village was too isolated. There wouldn’t be any benefits from build a road there.
“Dr. Long, why do you care so much about that village?” asked Long Yunfei’s a.s.sistant.
Long Yunfei didn’t say anything. He just looked up at the sky quietly.
He didn’t want to be bothered to help build a road for that poor village. He wished he had never been to Jia County and never met w.a.n.g Yao if possible. However, what had happened had happened. There was no use crying over spilt milk.
“I’ll try to find another way,” said Long Yunfei.
Meanwhile, the doctor of Lianshan town hospital went to see Li Maoshuang’s uncle.
“What is this?” The doctor surprisingly found that Li Maoshuang’s uncle seemed to be better.
“Has he eaten anything today?” asked the doctor.
“Yes, he ate some pureed food,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.
“Has he been more alert?” asked the doctor.
“Yes, he’s more alert today than he was yesterday. He also spoke a bit,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.
“Good,” said the doctor.
He didn’t mention discharge this time.
“What’s going on with Dad?” asked the younger cousin. “Do you think the herbs given by that young doctor worked?”
“I hope so,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.
He was worried about the other possibility.
Maybe it was just a brief glow of health before pa.s.sing away.
In Beijing, which was thousands of miles away from Lianshan, the sky was not as blue.
In an old courtyard, the ground was covered by dropped leaves, which looked deserted
Su Xiaoxue, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was looking up at the sky.
It was the first time she had gotten out of bed after so many years. She could at least see the sky from the courtyard, and she could even move. Her skin had gone back to normal, so she was no longer afraid of the microorganisms floating everywhere in the air. She wouldn’t get a skin infection.
“Oh, it’s so comfortable to be outdoors,” said Su Xiaoxue.
Finally, she had achieved some freedom.
When can I go out for a walk? When can I go out by myself? Has Beijing changed a lot over the years?
“Xiaoxue, do you want to come back inside? It’s getting cold outside,” said Song Ruiping.
“I’m fine, Mom, I want to stay here a bit longer,” said Su Xiaoxue.
“Okay,” said Song Ruiping. Her eyes were full of emotions.
When will Dr. w.a.n.g come back?
In another courtyard at Beijing, Chen Ying thought about the same thing.
She had been visiting her brother regularly. Chen Zhou was getting better. All the staff from the mental inst.i.tution were amazed about Chen Zhou’s change. However, he had had a few psychotic episodes recently. It seemed that his condition had suddenly started to collapse.
No one in that mental inst.i.tution could tell the reason of collapse.
It’s been such a long while, you should come back.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Yao was practicing Chinese boxing on Nanshan Hill. It was cold and windy on the hill.
w.a.n.g Yao stretched his arms towards the sky. He was in a unique position, as if he was supporting the sky with one hand while standing on one foot.
It was a position described in Quanjing.
Inhale, exhale.
Open it!
w.a.n.g Yao suddenly changed his position. He turned his palm around, flexed his arm and then hit out again.
Bang!
His movement caused a big sound like thunder.
At the same time, the blood and Qi inside his body were circulating rapidly.
w.a.n.g Yao circulated his Qi several times before finis.h.i.+ng up.
Ding! Om!
His phone rang. It was Li Maoshuang.
“What? No, it was not a brief glow of health before pa.s.sing away. He got better because of the decoctions I have him. Don’t worry too much,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“Good, that’s great,” said Li Maoshuang on the other side of the phone.
He explained it to his eldest cousin after hanging up. However, his eldest cousin was still concerned.
“Stop being paranoid. Uncle’s condition can’t be any worse. I’ve told you, Dr. w.a.n.g is different. You need to trust him,” said Li Maoshuang.
“Okay.” his eldest cousin nodded. Now he had started to believe in w.a.n.g Yao. “When will he come back here?”
“Tomorrow morning,” said Li Maoshuang.
“Okay, I’ll get ready,” said his eldest cousin.
Actually, there was nothing for him to prepare for, he just needed to follow w.a.n.g Yao’s instructions.
The next morning, w.a.n.g Yao left Nanshan Hill early to get prepared for his trip to Lianshan town center.
“Are you going to the town?” asked Zhang Xiuying.
“Yes, I’m going to see a patient,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
“I have a task for you,” said Zhang Xiuying.
“What do you want me to do?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.
“It’s about your sister,” said Zhang Xiuying.
“My sister?” w.a.n.g Yao was dazed for a moment. “Oh, I see, it must be related to my future brother-in-law.”
“Yes, I think he’s a nice guy. Can you check on him? Your sister doesn’t tell me anything,” said Zhang Xiuying. She was very concerned about her daughter’s future.
“Okay, no problem,” said w.a.n.g Yao.
He drove to the People’s Hospital in Lianshan town center after breakfast.
This time, Li Maoshuang’s cousins seemed to be much nicer to him and much more cooperative.
He gave the same treatment to Li Maoshuang’s uncle.
“Thank you so much, Dr. w.a.n.g.” Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin expressed his grat.i.tude after the treatment session.
“You are welcome,” said w.a.n.g Yao. “Please ensure that your dad takes this decoction.”
He was talking about the decoction brewed by Li Maoshuang, which could boost a person’s immune system. The decoction he brewed, he had to keep himself at all times.
“Okay,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.
Then he and his sister walked w.a.n.g Yao out of the hospital room.
“Your cousins seem to be different today,” said w.a.n.g Yao to Li Maoshuang.
