She had to leave even though she didn’t achieve anything. Her son had to continue to suffer. Hou s.h.i.+da’s mother became increasingly upset.
“You wait!” Hou s.h.i.+da’s mother coldly shouted as she took a glance at the young doctor standing there quietly. She didn’t hide her hatred towards him.
The men who came with her thought, That young doctor’s gonna be in trouble!
w.a.n.g Yao, however, didn’t care. I guess I got myself one more enemy, he thought.
This wasn’t the first time he had offended someone. He wouldn’t treat a sc.u.mbag like Hou s.h.i.+da. It would be an insult to him, a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist. He was not Buddha, who would try to save anyone regardless of whether the person was good or bad. No, even the Buddha wouldn’t help just anyone.
It was quiet that night.
…
In a pub in Dao, a couple were in a room on the first floor. They were having s.e.x in a big comfortable bed in the bedroom.
Wonderful! the man in bed thought. That doctor didn’t trick me!
He had been in h.e.l.l the past few days. He couldn’t do anything with his girlfriend, who was a very attractive woman. Every time he was aroused, he experienced a sharp pain in his lower belly. It was torture to him.
“Are you OK?” His girlfriend had asked him many times. She was concerned about him since he was the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
“Fine, I’m fine!” He had repeatedly rea.s.sured his girlfriend there was nothing wrong with him.
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Yao didn’t trick him and had made him normal again. He lit a cigarette and leaned on his pillow to take a rest.
“You should stop smoking.” His girlfriend took the cigarette away. “Honey.”
“Oh yeah?” the man asked.
“Shall we get married?” his girlfriend asked.
“Sure,” the man replied.
“Really?” the woman excitedly asked.
“Of course,” the man said.
He hadn’t had a stable partner for many years. It was time for him to settle with a woman. His parents also wanted to have grandchildren. He knew he couldn’t stay single forever.
“Great!” His girlfriend was thrilled. She hugged him and gave him a big kiss.
“Let’s do it again,” the man said.
“No, stop!” His girlfriend pretended to resist him.
The room was full of love.
…
An unexpected visitor came to the village the next morning.
“h.e.l.lo, what brings you here?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
The visitor was Miao Sanding, a Feng Shui master. “h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g, sorry to bother you again.”
“What can I do for you?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“I want to discuss with you about something,” Miao Sanding said.
w.a.n.g Yao had done him a big favor last time by getting rid of the evil soul in Hongzhou. Miao Sanding would never forget it. He had been thinking of how to pay the favor back to w.a.n.g Yao. He neither had much money nor anything precious. The only thing he had was his Feng Shui knowledge.
It suddenly occurred to him one day that he sensed some deadly aura on Xishan Hill. So, he wanted to do something about it. He wanted to help w.a.n.g Yao get rid of the deadly aura. It was his way to pay the favor back.
“Please come in.” w.a.n.g Yao invited him into the clinic.
He had a good impression of Miao Sanding. He thought the man was a nice person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone all the way to Hongzhou to help him.
w.a.n.g Yao made Miao Sanding a cup of tea in the clinic. After they had sat down, Miao Sanding told w.a.n.g Yao the purpose of his visit.
“I see. I would really appreciate it if you could help!” w.a.n.g Yao liked Miao Sanding even more after learning he wanted to help with the deadly places on Xishan Hill.
It was not common nowadays for people to remember a favor from others and pay it back.
“I want to know how you are going to get rid of the deadly aura,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“I need to go there to have another look, and arrange something over there,” Miao Sanding said.
“OK, let’s go,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
As they were about to leave the clinic, an old patient came to see w.a.n.g Yao. The patient had a kyphotic posture. He looked miserable.
“What’s wrong with you?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“I have a bad back pain,” the old man said with a sigh.
He was in his 70s. His physical health had been declining.
“Please take a seat and let me take a look at you.” w.a.n.g Yao helped the old man sit down and took a good look at him. “I don’t think you should work in the field anymore.”
The old man suffered from chronic muscle strain in his lumbar area. He also had problems with his lumbar spine due to overworking.
The old man sighed. He didn’t want to continue working either. He was nearly 80 years old. However, his son had just bought a big apartment in the town center and had his second child. His daughter-in-law had resigned from her job since she had to take care of two young children. So, his son was the sole breadwinner of the family. He was employed by a company in town and worked really hard to support his family. He had become thinner and thinner due to the hard work.
Since the old man’s wife was in her 80s and in poor health, she couldn’t help with babysitting. Thus, he felt sorry for his son. He tried his best to help his son financially.
“Let me give you a ma.s.sage. Please lie on your stomach for me,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
The old man laid on his stomach on the bed. w.a.n.g Yao started to give him a ma.s.sage. The pain disappeared after five minutes. The old man had a warm feeling in his waist. He felt really comfortable. After 20 minutes, he not only felt more comfortable in his lower back, but he also felt stronger.
“Done,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“Yao, you are fantastic!” the old man exclaimed. “How much should I pay you?”
The old man took out an envelope out of his pocket with shaking hands. He had some cash in it, but it was not much.
“You don’t need to pay me,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.
“No, that’s not right,” the old man said.
“That’s fine. It was just a ma.s.sage,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “You need to rest as often as you can. Don’t go back to the field in such hot weather. I also noticed a problem with blood flow in your head. You don’t have sufficient blood flow. You must take good care of yourself.”
Since old man was nearly 80 years old, he was p.r.o.ne to sickness. He really shouldn’t continue to work in the field, especially in such hot weather. If he pa.s.sed out in the field and no one was around, he would be in big trouble.
“OK, thank you very much.” The old man left the clinic.
It was sad that the old man had no one to rely on. w.a.n.g Yao slipped into deep thinking as he was watching the old man leaving.
“Nowadays so many old people have to offer their children financial support.” He turned to Miao sanding and said, “Let’s go.”
The two of them went to the two deadly places on Xishan hill.
“Hmm!” Miao Sanding felt something wrong before even reaching the top of Xishan Hill. He went all the way up with knitted brows. w.a.n.g Yao didn’t say anything. He just stood next to Miao Sanding quietly.
“Strange!” Miao Sanding walked around the two deadly places and the rest of the hill.
“What do you think?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“The two places are really strange,” Miao Sanding said. It was the first time he had come across places like these. “I don’t feel the two places were part of the hill. It’s like they were planted on the hill.”
“I found strange insects here before,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Those were very poisonous and fierce insects.”
“Insects?” Miao Sanding asked with surprise. “Poisonous insects?”
“I’m not exactly sure,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “I haven’t come across many poisonous insects.”
“Maybe the aura here has something to do with those insects,” Miao Sanding said.
He walked around the two deadly places again while thinking about methods to get rid of the deadly aura.
“Shall we visit the other hills nearby?” he suggested.
Right next to Xishan Hill was w.a.n.g Yao’s Nanshan Hill. Of course, Nanshan Hill was much more alive.
“What a wonderful place!” Miao Sanding was very impressed.
w.a.n.g Yao just smiled. Nanshan Hill was a wonderful place because of the Spirit Gathering Battle Array.
Miao Sanding took a close look at Nanshan Hill. He looked over at Xishan Hill and started to think. He finally said, “Maybe we can move some aura from Nanshan hill to Xishan Hill.”
“Can you? How?” w.a.n.g Yao curiously asked.
“I need to set up a Feng Shui battle array,” Miao Sanding said. “Of course, it is just a plan. I’ll arrange something here to allow the aura to expand to Xishan hill fast.”
“Can we plant some trees in those areas?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
“Yes, but we need to make sure those trees will survive,” Miao Sanding replied.
“I can make them survive,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
According to his experiments, he could basically identify the area where soil was poisoned. In addition, the bristle gra.s.ses and dandelions could resist the poison in the soil.
“That will be great,” Miao Sanding said.
They left Nanshan Hill. Miao Sanding said goodbye to w.a.n.g Yao. He had a basic idea now, so he just needed details on how to implement his plan. He still needed to think about it. He didn’t normally set up a Feng Shui battle array for such a purpose.
