“You, you just know how to keep working!” Professor Lin smiled and shook his head. “This opportunity is rare. You have merits, and the leaders.h.i.+p also has the intention. Making a further step means a better platform with better treatment, better working environment, and more research funds. Even if you don’t care about fame and fortune, you have to consider the young people who are following you. I heard they are a bit unsatisfied with you!”
Professor Wu was silent for a while. He then said, “I’ll think about it.”
“That’s right, you have to change your temper,” Professor Lin said.
“Change what? I think it is very good,” Professor Wu said.
…
In the his clinic, w.a.n.g Yao was considering the illness of the man who suffered from the anorexia. As he thought, he knew this illness would require unique treatment.
He could not see it or smell it. The treatment would also require the cooperation of the patient and his family members.
In addition, w.a.n.g Yao also prepared a drug to stimulate the man’s appet.i.te.
Chinese yam, hawthorn…
These so-called appetizing medicinal materials were foods. Some of them were to stimulate the taste buds. This would hopefully promote a healthy appet.i.te.
As he wrote, w.a.n.g Yao though, He can’t just rely on medicine. Otherwise, the taste of the medicinal agent is likely to cause bad consequences. If he did not just dislike foods, and even disliked drinks and soups, it would be more troublesome.
The last time he spoke with the man, he told w.a.n.g Yao that he was able to drink some liquid food, such as chicken soup and porridge. But, that was it.
Based on that, w.a.n.g Yao though, First, he needs to drink soup to stimulate his appet.i.te without seeing what he is eating.
w.a.n.g Yao gradually came up with a treatment plan. He prepared several herbs. They were really quite simple since they were just an aid in the man’s recovery.
He called the man and asked him and his family to come the next morning for treatment.
Around dusk, w.a.n.g Yao was about to close the door and go home. Suddenly, w.a.n.g Zecheng hobbled toward the clinic entrance with an injured face.
“What’s wrong?” w.a.n.g Yao hurriedly opened the door and let him in.
“The speed was a little faster when I was riding on the road, so I fell,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“It looks serious,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Oh, it’s OK!” w.a.n.g Zecheng bit his teeth.
He was actually experiencing severe pain. After he got off work, he rushed back from town to have a meal. After eating, he had to go back out to work at his night job. In order to make it there in time, he was riding faster than usual. When he was at the entry of the village, he fell down while avoiding a sheep.
“Let me see.” w.a.n.g Yao carefully checked him. “Fortunately, you didn’t hurt the bones. What about your head? Does it hurt? Were you wearing a helmet?”
“I wore it. My head does not hurt. My face is just painful,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
If he had not been wearing a helmet, he could have suffered more severe injuries in the fall.
“I will give you some medicine.” w.a.n.g Yao got up and got some medicine.
The medicine was made in the mountains. It was very effective for traumatic injuries, such as bruises. He had tried them on other patients, and it worked well.
“It may be a little painful,” w.a.n.g Yao said. He carefully applied the medicine to injury and bandaged it.
“Oh, ah!” w.a.n.g Zecheng exclaimed.
“Come on, I will give you a ma.s.sage,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Really?” w.a.n.g Zecheng asked.
“Yes. It promotes blood circulation to dissipate stasis,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “That will help some of the muscles on the contusion recovered more quickly.”
The fall was serious, even if he didn’t hurt his bones. Some muscle tissue contusions on his body were inevitable. His body would take a few weeks to heal.
“Oh, OK,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“It might be painful.” w.a.n.g Yao began to ma.s.sage him with a unique technique.
“Ah, it hurts!” w.a.n.g Zecheng shouted.
“Put up with it,” w.a.n.g Yao said. He was already using light pressure.
w.a.n.g Yao ma.s.saged w.a.n.g Zecheng’s back, leg, and arm contusions. He was in so much pain that he kept quivering. If w.a.n.g Yao had not given him a piece of gauze to bite, he would have been grinding his teeth. He sweated profusely, which drenched his clothes inside.
“Now,, go back and have a good rest. Don’t engage in heavy physical labor for seven days. Don’t work,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Ah, seven days?” w.a.n.g Zecheng was shocked.
“What’s the matter?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“But, I have to work,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
His family relied on him for money, especially his father, whose medicine was expensive. How couldn’t he not be anxious? He had hoped to take on a third labor job to make money.
“In order to buy medicine for your father?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
In order to afford the medicine, he was borrowing money from others. In life, most things could be easily dealt with except borrowing money.
“Take the medicine for now,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “You can pay gradually later.”
“Oh, thank you,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said as he bit his lip.
He got up to leave and was abruptly stopped.
“Wait a minute,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Is there something else?” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“I have to say a few more words, but don’t be upset,” w.a.n.g Yao said. He got up to pour a cup of tea. “Drink some tea.”
“Hey, thank you.” w.a.n.g Zecheng took the tea. He felt even more nervous. He didn’t know what w.a.n.g Yao wanted to say to him.
“As for money, it’s important. But, the body is more important,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
w.a.n.g Zecheng was silent and looked him with a blank stare.
“I mean, the physical condition of your current body is not suitable for work,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “If you endure the pain to work in the next few days, it may be no problem for the time being. If you get overworked, you will have physical injuries. Working while you are injured could cause small lesions to become serious illnesses. You cannot solve it by taking a breaking for seven days.”
“I know.” w.a.n.g Zecheng said, “but…”
“You don’t know, or you don’t understand it deeply.” w.a.n.g Yao quickly interrupted him. “Forget it. Think about it yourself.”
w.a.n.g Yao originally wanted to say a few more words, but the words stopped. If he was w.a.n.g Zecheng, he might have made the same choice.
“Then, I will go home for now,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“OK.” w.a.n.g Yao said.
w.a.n.g Zecheng limped away.
“Are you alright?” w.a.n.g Yilong asked as he waited at the door for his son.
“It’s nothing. You ought to go back. It is pretty windy.” w.a.n.g Zecheng said
“How are you?” His wife heard the sound and went out.
“I didn’t hurt any bones or my head. I got some medicine, so it is much better,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
“Don’t go to work tomorrow. You should rest at home,” his wife said.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said.
After the meal, w.a.n.g Yilong got up and went out.
“Where are you going, dad?” w.a.n.g Zecheng asked.
“I am going out to wander around,” his father replied.
“Well, be careful, and come back early. It is pretty windy outside. You need to wear more, and don’t go far.” w.a.n.g Zecheng did not forget offer advice.
“Oh, I know.” w.a.n.g Yilong waved his hand and walked out slowly.
“Dad has left. Tell me the truth, are you badly hurt?” w.a.n.g Zecheng’s wife asked.
“I’m OK,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said. “He just told me to rest at home for two days.”
“Then, you should rest. Don’t go out,” his wife said.
“Hey, let’s talk about it tomorrow,” w.a.n.g Zecheng said with a sigh.
w.a.n.g Yao’s family in the middle of dinner when there was knocking at the door.
Squeak!
w.a.n.g Yilong entered. “Sorry, you are having a meal.”
Since a guest arrived, Zhang Xiuying and her husband both put down their dishes.
“Hey, take a seat, w.a.n.g Yilong,” w.a.n.g Fenghua said.
w.a.n.g Yao got up and made a pot of tea. “Uncle, drink some tea.”
“Oh, thank you,” w.a.n.g Yilong said
“What’s up?” w.a.n.g Fenghua asked.
“I am looking for Xiaoyao regarding a matter,” w.a.n.g Yilong said.
“OK, uncle.” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Ah, Zecheng looked for you in the afternoon, right?” w.a.n.g Yilong asked.
“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“Is he hurt really bad? Tell me the truth,” w.a.n.g Yilong said.
“There is no big problem. There is bruising and trauma to some muscle tissue, but no damage to the bones, internal organs, or head. He just needs to rest for a few days.” w.a.n.g Yao said.
