Chapter 889: There Should Be Such a Thing
“What medicine has he taken, and what treatment has he received?” w.a.n.g Yao asked in detail.
The mother remembered all the medicines that her son had taken. She even listed out the name, quant.i.ty, and times the medications were taken.
“No wonder!” w.a.n.g Yao looked at the long list in his hand. There were more than 15 kinds of drugs on it.
That explains it, w.a.n.g Yao thought. This child’s liver was damaged, and it was serious. All medicine could be a little bit poisonous. After taking so many medications, not to mention that this was a 2-year-old child with relatively delicate internal organs, it produced many poisonous effects on his fragile body.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, how is my son’s illness?” the woman asked.
“In addition to fainting, his organs were also damaged to varying degrees, especially the liver,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “During this past year, you gave him so many medicines. They had a destructive effect on his liver. That is why his body is getting weaker and weaker, and his health is getting worse and worse. It ultimately led to him falling into a coma more frequently.”
The couple’s complexions changed once when they heard what the doctor said.
“Dr. w.a.n.g, please find a way to save our son,” the woman anxiously said. “We are willing to spend all of our savings as long as you can save his life.” As a mother, she would rather lose a piece of flesh than have her child’s skin lightly peel. This love was the ultimate love.
“Yes, yes,” the man said.
“You are not local, right?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.
After hearing their accents, he concluded that they were from somewhere else.
“We are from Dao,” the woman said.
“Dao?”
“That is correct.”
The two of them inadvertently heard others talking about a young doctor in this mountain village who had superior medical skills and was capable of treating various incurable diseases. So, they drove there with the hope that it was true.
“I can cure this disease,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “You need to find a place to live. It is estimated that it will take about 10 days.”
“Oh, good,” the woman said.
“Place the child down and untie his clothes,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
At this time, the weather outside was around 50 degrees, but it was relatively warm in the clinic.
The couple hurriedly unb.u.t.toned the child’s clothes.
w.a.n.g Yao took out needles and began to do acupuncture. He did it slowly and steadily. This was the first time he had inserted needles into such a small child.
Watching such long silver needles piercing into their child’s body one by one, the parents were naturally extra nervous, especially the woman. She was tightly holding on to her husband. Her finger joints turned pale because she was gripping him so tightly.
“Don’t be nervous. Everything is OK.” Feeling the tension of the couple next to him, w.a.n.g Yao turned his head to help them calm down before continuing the acupuncture.
Silver needles were pierced into acupuncture points, and Qi was transferred into the boy’s body.
Through these silver needles, the acupuncture points were stimulated. The pure Taoist internal Qi was crossing into the child’s body. Each acupoint of each part of the body was connected. Using this method to stimulate and repair the body, the child could be treated in the shortest time possible.
When the time was up, w.a.n.g Yao began to pull out the needles.
After the needles were removed, the child slowly woke up. His pale face became ruddy.
“Mom, Dad.” The child’s voice was still quiet because he felt weak.
“Ah, Xiao Lan.”
“OK, dress him,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “We don’t want him to catch chills.”
The woman hurriedly dressed her son and hugged him in her arms.
“Wait a moment,” w.a.n.g Yao said to the couple.
He went out and soon returned with a small bottle. He poured out hot medicine soup from the bottle into a bowl.
“Come on, have your child drink this,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
It was the Peiyuan Soup he had already made. He saved a part of it in the system grid without any damage. Whatever temperature it was at when it was put in was the same when it was taken out. This was the magic of the system.
“Oh, good.”
This child was very young but sensible. He didn’t cry or make trouble. He just stared at w.a.n.g Yao with his big eyes.
This medicine was a bit bitter. Other children his age would be crying hard and refuse to take the medicine, but this child cooperated and drank the medicine. He must have taken drugs as bitter as this before.
“Sit and wait,” w.a.n.g Yao said.
“It is good.”
The wife was holding her child while sitting on her husband’s lap, who was seated on a wooden chair.
“Xiao Lan, do you feel any discomfort?” the woman whispered to the child in her arms.
“It’s OK, Mom,” the child softly replied.
After waiting for about an hour, w.a.n.g Yao reached out and checked the child’s pulse.
“OK, come back in two days,” he said.
“Oh, thank you.”
The couple left the clinic with their child.
After getting into the car, the woman again asked, “Xiao Lan, tell me the truth, did you feel any discomfort?” She was worried that her son, who was in a strange environment and saw a strange person, felt scared and didn’t tell her the truth.
“I don’t feel uncomfortable there, Mom,” the child softly whispered.
“Oh, good!” The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
“Let’s find a place to stay, alright?” the man asked.
“Well, since we have come here, we have to give it a try in case he can cure Xiao Lan,” the woman said.
The car drove out of the mountain village.
In the clinic, w.a.n.g Yao recorded the child ‘s condition. This child ‘s illness was a special pathological weakness. There was not a clear problem in some parts of his body. The problem was his entire body. His imbalanced condition caused made him p.r.o.ne to fainting. As his body got worse, the fainting became more frequent and more like a coma.
The disease was a bit strange, and it was an incurable disease that was difficult to treat. Yet, it was not particularly difficult for w.a.n.g Yao to treat. Within ten days, he was sure he could completely cure the child’s disease.
The couple quickly saw a change in their son.
“How long has it been?” the man asked.
“Well, since we left the clinic for the county, he stayed in a hotel and ate something,” the woman said. “It lasted at least two and a half hours.”
“Look, Xiao Lan is in good shape,” the man said.
“Well, I can see that,” the woman said. “He also ate more than he usually does.”
They found that their son was improving. They were very happy. At the same time, they were more attentive. They also worried that it was accidental. That night, their son still did not have any abnormal reaction. They were shocked by their son’s recovery.
“Is it because of that doctor’s treatment?”
They were now confident that w.a.n.g Yao’s treatment was effective, and the effect was almost immediate.
The child’s condition was stable. He had stayed healthy and alert until bedtime. Before, the child would have already pa.s.sed out at least twice or more.
“It works. Great!”
The couple was very happy and excited.
“We were right.”
They were looking forward to the next treatment.
Nothing happened that night. When morning arrived, the sky was gloomy.
There were rain showers in the village. Thousands of miles away in southern Yunnan, it was sunny and the slight breeze was warm.
“Uncle Xu, why are you in a hurry to see me?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“My Childe, thanks to your prompt last time, I found the enemy of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine,” Xu Xinyuan happily said.
“Is there such an enemy? How have you found him so fast?” Guo Zhenghe asked. When they had spoken before, he had just offered to find an enemy as a suggestion. At the time, he wanted to mislead him to keep him from going back to the valley. He also did not want to get himself involved in trouble with people from the valley, which would add uncertain factors to his life and future career. He did not expect that Xu Xinyuan would do what he said and find someone so quickly.
“What a coincidence!”
“Yes, it’s a coincidence,” Xu Xinyuan said.
“In their village, they have been experiencing an internal disturbance.”
“An internal disturbance?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“Yes, the current patriarch is Miao Xihe,” Xu Xinyuan said. “He became the patriarch 20 years ago, but the way he got that status was seemingly not moral or upright. Some things that are unclear and unknown are involved. At that time, he could not completely convince all the people to follow him. Some people raised objections against him, but they were strongly suppressed by him. Some were even killed. Some people didn’t agree, so they started to fight. There were not able to fight him, so they escaped.”
“Where are these people now?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“Most of them are in southern Yunnan,” Xu Xinyuan said. “I have contacted one of them. He knows something about the Valley of Thousands of Medicine.”
“You have contacted one of them!”
“That is correct.”
“Tell me more,” Guo Zhenghe said. He was very interested in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine since they came up in regards to a large investigation in the place under his control. It would be deceptive if he said he had no idea about the valley.
“The Valley of Thousands of Medicine has existed for a long time. It is said that the people there have existed since the Ming Dynasty. It is more than 400 years old. They are indeed good with the use of common poisons and the poisonous worm. These skills are pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. They have been studying poisoning, but what they are better at is curing and saving people. ”
“Do they cure and save people?” Guo Zhenghe asked.
“Yes, Childe, in fact, they are one branch of the Miao doctors, maybe even the oldest branch,” Xu Xinyuan said. “The use of poison and poisonous worms can kill people, but it can also be used to cure diseases and save lives.”
“This is the first time I have heard something about that,” Guo Zhenghe said.
“In the beginning, their village communicated with the outside world, but no one knew what went wrong at that time. Consequently, they blocked all connections with the outside world. I heard it from that person that the patriarch, Miao Xihe, once killed many people in the village.”
“Were the people killed his people?”
“No, they were people from the outside.”
“Is there any evidence?”
“Well, no. All of the dead were sunk into the lake in the center of the village and fed to the fish.”
“Since there is no evidence indicating that, how can you be sure he was not telling you lies and framing Miao Xihe because of hatred?” Guo Zhenghe asked with a smile.
“Well, that’s right. I don’t believe what he said.”
