w.a.n.g Yao had an idea. He hoped that in the future, he would be able to organize the knowledge he owned from the patients he treated to produce a medical book, just like Sang Guzi. He already liked the profession of pharmacists. He hoped to pa.s.s it on and carry it forward.
After finis.h.i.+ng these things, it was after 6 p.m. He then went to have dinner. Afterward, he went up the mountain early to prepare the medicinal materials. That night, he decocted drugs to treat Du Feng’s heart damage.
In the process of making the medicine, w.a.n.g Yao thought of the intermittent cream that had just been produced. I don’t know if this intermittent cream can have any effect on this kind of disease? Since it was said to be able to recover the gap, it should also have a certain effect on such a disease.
The night was quiet, and the lights were dim.
w.a.n.g Zecheng couldn’t sleep.
“What’s up?” his wife asked.
“When I think about my father’s illness, I think I should take my dad to the provincial hospital for a check,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“You should go.” His wife supported him.
“I will ask w.a.n.g Yao,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“Ask him?” His wife was confused
“He said that he can slow down father’s illness, but he can’t cure it,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“How can this disease be cured?” his wife asked.
“His medicine should be prepared. I will ask him again,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
The next morning, w.a.n.g Zecheng came to the clinic early and waited.
“Why did you come so early?” w.a.n.g Yao was surprised to see him after coming down from the mountain.
“I wanted to ask you something. Didn’t you say last time that you could slow down my dad’s illness? Is the medicine prepared?” w.a.n.g Zecheng asked.
“OK, come in and get it,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Oh, good.” w.a.n.g Zecheng followed him to the clinic.
w.a.n.g Yao took out the medicine that had been prepared for a long time. The white porcelain bottle was still warm in the grid of the system.
“How much?” w.a.n.g Zecheng asked.
“$10,000,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“How much?” w.a.n.g Zecheng was shocked. Last time when w.a.n.g Yao told him that this medicine would be very expensive, he had made psychological preparation. But, he did not think it would be so expensive.
“What, is that expensive?” w.a.n.g Yao calmly asked.
“To be honest, it is beyond my imagination,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
Common people often had this reaction. They were not bosses like Tian Yuantu or Wei Hai with hundreds of millions of wealth. They trusted w.a.n.g Yao’s medical skills.
To be honest, many people in the village only knew that w.a.n.g Yao was a doctor. They thought that he could only cure some ailments like headaches, fever, backache, and leg pain. If they had big problems, they would still go to the hospital.
“Do you want it or not? It is your choice,” w.a.n.g Yao said. His medication was definitely worth the money.
“What do you think about this? I will give you $5,000 first to see the effect?” w.a.n.g Zecheng thought for a while.
“Since we live in the same village, I can break my rules once.” w.a.n.g Yao said. The fact that Zecheng was going to buy it surprised him a little.
“Well, wait, I am going to withdraw the money.” w.a.n.g Zecheng hurriedly left. He returned about 30 minutes later.
“Here it is.” He put $5,000 on the table.
“Here are the medications, methods of taking, and the contraindications.” w.a.n.g Yao handed the piece of paper and porcelain bottle to him.
“OK, thank you.” w.a.n.g Zecheng returned home with medicine.
He told his wife how much it cost. She was shocked.
“Xiaoyao is too black-hearted. What medicine can cost $5,000? You must be have been cheated,” she said.
“Don’t worry. We will try it first. You can’t tell my father about it,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“I know.” His wife pouted. She continued to mutter, “We all live in the same village, so why did he charge so much? We always meet see him!”
w.a.n.g Zecheng came to his father’s hut with the warm medicine. The old man was lying on his bed and frowned.
In the past few days, the illness had worsened. The old man had a bad feeling. After seeing his son, he still did not ask anything.
“Dad?” w.a.n.g Zecheng softly asked.
“What is it?” The old man opened his eyes and looked at his son.
“This is the medicine you need to drink,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“Well, OK,” the old man said. “Chinese medicine?” The old man was a little surprised when he looked at the medicine soup poured out from the white porcelain bottle.
“Yes, it is Chinese medicine.” w.a.n.g Zecheng did not say much.
The old man drank all the medicine in the bowl. It was slightly bitter. When he drank it, he only felt that his abdomen was warm. It then spread all over his limbs quickly. It was very comfortable.
Huh! The old man had a long sigh of relief.
“How are you feeling Dad?” w.a.n.g Zecheng asked.
“Hot, but very comfortable,” his father said.
After all, this was a bowl of medicine not an elixir. It was impossible to have an immediate effect.
“Well, if you feel uncomfortable, just let me know.” w.a.n.g Zecheng was still worried whether this medication had other side effects.
“Oh, well, you don’t have to stay with me here,” his father said.
“I will accompany you for a while.” w.a.n.g Zecheng stayed for a while before going out.
“How is your dad?” his wife asked.
“There is nothing wrong temporarily. You also need to listen to him,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“OK,” his wife said.
The old man was lying on the bed. The warmth made his body very comfortable. It was as if he was soaking in hot water. The pain in his abdomen was slowly alleviated.
Ah! He sighed because he felt comfortable. He then slowly fell asleep.
At noon, lunch was prepared. w.a.n.g Zecheng went to ask his father to eat. He walked gently into the house and saw the old man lying quietly on his bad. He had fallen asleep. His face looked very peaceful, which had not happened in a long time. He knew from the hospital doctor that the disease would cause the patient extreme painful. The discomfort would make it to fall asleep.
“This medicine really works.” w.a.n.g Zecheng stood quietly and watched his father for a while before quietly going out.
“Where is Dad?” his wife asked.
“Dad is asleep, and he is sleeping quite well. Let’s eat first. We will leave some food for him.” w.a.n.g Zecheng left part of each dish and then they started eating.

In Jing…
“How about him, Dr. Chen?” Wu Tongrong asked.
“The old man’s condition is very stable. He is getting better and better. The effectiveness of this medicine is indeed extraordinary,” the old doctor sighed.
“That’s good,” Wu Tongrong said.
After the Spring Festival, his younger brother made a special trip to Lianshan County to seek out this drug. The efficacy was extraordinary. Now, his father could get up and move around, which made their family very happy.
“When will he come again?” Dr. Chen asked.
“I don’t know. He just said that he would come back after the festival,” Wu Tongrong said.
“It’s good as long as he promised,” Dr. Chen said.
After leaving the Wu family’s residence, he went to the home of his old friend. The old man was playing with birds at home.
“Oh, you are being quite leisurely,” Dr. Chen said.
“Hey! Did you just come out from the Wu Family?” Dr. Li asked.
“Well, the news was very well-informed,” Dr. Chen said.
“He also called me,” Dr. Li said.
“Really?” Dr. Chen was surprised.
“Come on, play chess with me,” Dr. Li said.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you today? You are very active!” Dr. Chen said.
The two old men played in the small courtyard.
“The results of the drug test came out,” Dr. Li said.
“Did it fail,” Dr. Chen asked.
“Yes, only a few kinds of herbs are clear. The main drugs used are still unknown,” Dr. Li said.
The two then bantered back and forth, but there hands were not idled. They spoke chess terms to each other.
“Kill your car!”
“Fly the horse!”
“Have some tea.” Dr. Li’s wife served the tea.
“Thank you.” Dr. Chen hurriedly got up and took over the teacup. The then went back to speaking chess terms.
“The soldier goes forward!”
“Fly the elephant!”
“I have told you that long ago, but you don’t listen to me,” Dr. Chen said.
“If it can be a.n.a.lyzed to know the elements, it would be a major breakthrough in the treatment of this disease, which is a benefit for future generations,” Dr. Li said.
“Oh, you don’t have to be so righteous in front of me. If you published all of your knowledge and let the people in the industry learn freely, it would also be a good thing for future generations. You can do it,” Dr. Chen said in a mocking tone.
“How could I do this while the teacher has rules?” Dr. Li asked.
“Ah!” Dr. Chen waved his hand disdainfully.
“Hey! Kill your general! When did your horse come here?” Dr. Li asked.
“Just when you showed your righteousness.” Dr. Chen said. “Oh, I find that you are getting more and more shameless. I’m not staying here!”
He man got up and left, not looking backward anymore.
“Hey, you wait.” Dr. Li got up and went to grab his old friend’s sleeve, but it was to no avail.
“You are already more than 70, but you are trying to take advantage of a young man. Li Shengrong, why didn’t I realize this before?” Dr. Chen asked.
He then angrily left, leaving the slightly fatter old man foolishly standing at the door.
