Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
w.a.n.g Yao left for Pan Jun’s uncle’s house after saying goodbye to his mother. He bought some gifts for Pan Jun’s uncle on his way.
Pan Jun’s uncle and his wife were very happy to see w.a.n.g Yao. However, they felt bad when they saw the gifts w.a.n.g Yao had bought. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t charge them any fees for treatment and bought them gifts. They didn’t know what to say.
“It’s just some health supplements,” w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile.
“OK, thank you so much,” Pan Jun’s uncle’s wife said.
“Well, let me take a look at Uncle Pan,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“OK,” the old man said.
He was almost fully recovered.
“Could you please lay down,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
This time, he gave the old man acupuncture treatment first. He inserted needles into the old man’s head and trunk.
It was quite cold in the room. The old man was naked, so w.a.n.g Yao inserted needles rapidly. The old man felt a bit sore, numb, and itchy on his back. It was as if he had been bitten by an ant.
w.a.n.g Yao manipulated the needles. The old man’s body shook slightly due to the stimulation from the needles, as well as the coldness.
“Are you cold?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“A little,” the old man said.
w.a.n.g Yao released his Qi to block the cold air coming toward the old man. The old man immediately felt much warmer. His wife went to ignite the firewood to warm the heatable bed.
After w.a.n.g Yao had inserted and manipulated the needles, he covered the old man with a light quilt. He then chatted with the old man for a while.
Following the acupuncture treatment, w.a.n.g Yao gave the old man a ma.s.sage. The old man felt nice and warm. He was very comfortable.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, you are a better doctor than most of the chief doctors in those hospitals,” the old man said.
w.a.n.g Yao didn’t say anything. He just smiled.
“Of course Dr. w.a.n.g is a much better doctor,” the old man’s wife said with a smile.
“I’m flattered,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
After he had treated the old man, he had a look at the wife. Her legs were fine.
“It has been very cold lately. Try not to go out,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“OK, I will follow your instructions,” the old woman said.
When people got old, they were like an old machine. There was not much that could be done to stop the aging process. However, people could maintain their health and live longer by having a good lifestyle and regular medical checks. Nowadays, people took a healthy lifestyle more and more seriously. Most people received regular health checks, exercised regularly, and were aware of food safety.
Although there were still a lot of people getting sick and some diseases found in the younger population, the life expectancy was increasing. It took a while for people to have insight after being ignorant.
“That’s good,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
People had predestined relations.h.i.+ps. w.a.n.g Yao thought it was his fate to help the old couple. Therefore, he didn’t charge them a penny, even for the licorice roots. However, he wouldn’t treat those who he didn’t like, even if they were willing to pay him millions or beg him to treat them.
“He’s not here?”
Two cars came to the village. Both of them were from Beijing. Inside the cars were Song Ruiping, her daughter, and Chen Ying. They were going to ask w.a.n.g Yao to continue to show them around. However, they saw the notice on the clinic’s door.
“He must have gone out to see patients,” Chen Ying said. “Ma’am, what would you like to do?”
“Let’s wait for a while,” Song Ruiping said.
So, they waited inside the car. While they were waiting, two more cars came to the village.
“He’s got patients waiting for him,” said a middle-aged man who noticed the two cars outside the clinic. “What?”
“The cars are from Beijing,” the middle-aged man’s a.s.sistant said.
“Yes, and they are not just common cars from Beijing,” the middle-aged man said. “Go and take a look.”
“OK,” the middle-aged man’s a.s.sistant said.
He got out of the car and walked to the clinic. He found the notice on the door that said w.a.n.g Yao was not in the clinic in the morning. He took a glance at the two cars on his way back.
“Chief, Dr. w.a.n.g is not in the clinic. But, I know the person in the car in front. She’s Chen Ying. She works for Su Xiaoxue’s family. She was sitting in the front pa.s.senger’s seat,” the middle-aged man’s a.s.sistant said.
“She’s sitting in the front pa.s.senger’s seat?” The middle-aged man squinted his eyes.
He knew Chen Ying was the housekeeper for Su Xiaoxue’s family. She took care of certain things for the family. Song Ruiping trusted her very much. He also knew that w.a.n.g Yao stayed in the cottage taken care by Chen Ying when he was in Beijing. Chen Ying took care of all w.a.n.g Yao’s business during his stay.
Who are the other two people in the car? It’s probably Song Ruiping and her daughter! Should I go and say h.e.l.lo?
He was hesitating.
“Chief, maybe you should go and say hi. They might be able to help you. I heard Su Xiaoxue’s family was friendly with w.a.n.g Yao,” said the solid man in his 30s sitting in the front pa.s.senger’s seat.
“OK, go and see who is in the car,” the middle-aged man said.
“OK,” the man in his 30s said.
People who held a high position in a government department or were from a prestigious family often thought too much and made too much effort. They only appeared to have an easy life.
A moment later, the man in his 30s came back. “Chief, Madam Song and her daughter are also in that car.”
“OK, I’ll go and say h.e.l.lo,” the middle-aged man said.
He was a few years younger than Song Ruiping, so he should go greet Song Ruiping and her daughter.
“I didn’t expect Wu Tongxing would be here,” Chen Ying said. After thinking for a while, Song Ruiping opened the door and got out of the car. Chen Ying also got out of the car. The door of the car behind was also opened.
Wu Tongxing got out of the car.
“h.e.l.lo, Madam Song, you are here, too,” Wu Tongxing said.
“Hi, Tongxing, what brings you here?” Song Ruiping asked.
“I want to invite Dr. w.a.n.g to see my father, ” Wu Tongxing replied.
“What a coincidence! I’m here to invite Dr. w.a.n.g to see Xiaoxue. However, he is not here,” Song Ruiping said.
“He went out to see patients?” Wu Tongxing asked.
“Yes, Chen Ying just called him. He is on his way back,” Song Ruiping said.
“I see. I’ll wait then,” Wu Tongxing said.
The two groups of people went back inside their cars to continue waiting. None of the four cars parking outside the clinic were from Lianshan.
There are so many cars here!
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Yao didn’t come back too late. He spotted the cars from distance, so he went to his clinic right away after he had parked his vehicle outside his house.
Who else is here?
Everyone came out of the car except for the drivers.
“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g,” Wu Tongxing said.
“h.e.l.lo.” w.a.n.g Yao was a bit surprised to see Wu Tongxing again.
“Sorry to bother you again,” Wu Tongxing said. Whoever knew Wu Tongxing well would be surprised by the way he spoke to w.a.n.g Yao.
“h.e.l.lo, Mr. w.a.n.g,” Su Xiaoxue said as she got out of the car.
“h.e.l.lo, Xiaoxue,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“h.e.l.lo, Uncle Wu.” Su Xiaoxue also greeted Wu Tongxing.
“h.e.l.lo, Xiaoxue,” Wu Tongxing said.
“Please come in,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
Since all of them came all the way from Beijing and were nice to him, w.a.n.g Yao invited them into the clinic and made them a pot of tea.
“Tongxing, you first,” Song Ruiping said.
“You came early, you first,” Wu Tongxing said.
“OK. I just came to ask if Dr. w.a.n.g was available to be our tour guide again?” Song Ruiping asked with a smile.
“Tour guide?” Wu Tongxing asked with surprise.
He thought Song Ruiping brought her daughter here to see Dr. w.a.n.g. He didn’t expect they actually wanted w.a.n.g Yao to show them around. This indicated that they had a tight friends.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Yao.
“Yes. Dr. w.a.n.g has seen Xiaoxue. He said Xiaoxue is fine. We traveled to Haiqu but don’t know anyone here except for Dr. w.a.n.g. So, we asked Dr. w.a.n.g to show us around,” Song Ruiping said.
w.a.n.g Yao is a doctor. Is it appropriate to ask him to be your tour guide?
“I see. If you don’t mind, I want to show Dr. w.a.n.g something,” Wu Tongxing said.
“That’s fine,” Song Ruiping said.
Wu Tongxing didn’t asked w.a.n.g Yao to go to see his father in Beijing. He showed w.a.n.g Yao his father’s medical notes.
w.a.n.g Yao took the notes and looked them over. Wu Tongxing’s father had tumors in his lungs. One of the tumors was located on the big artery. The doctors didn’t want to take a risk doing surgery. However, the tumor would rupture anytime.
Another case of this.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, can you treat my father?” Wu Tongxing asked.
w.a.n.g Yao kept silent for a while. He had tried to treat a similar case before. The treatment was effective. Now, he was a better doctor who possessed additional different licorice roots and had better control of his Qi. He should be able to provide more effective treatment.
“Sorry.” However, he turned Wu Tongxing down.
He still doesn’t want to treat Dad? Wu Tongxing was not too disappointed. He had foreseen this result.
“Sorry to bother you,” Wu Tongxing said.
“That’s fine,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Well, since I’ve bothered you twice, here is a little gift.” Wu Tongxing put a small gift box on the table.
