The old man left the medical center after staying for less than 20 minutes.

After coming out from Wang Yao’s medical center, the health care doctor beside the old man said with a smile, “Dr. Wang is splendid!”

“Why?”

“People open medical centers in locations where there is a large stream of people in order to attract people conveniently. However, he opened a medical center in this mountain village. It’s so remote and there isn’t even a symbolic plaque. If we didn’t communicate with him in advance, I won’t even know there’s such a person here. Who will come to such a place on normal days?”

“There will be people coming,” the old man replied with a smile. “As long as people know how superb his pharmaceutical technology is, his reputation will spread. By that time, people will even go to a place which is even more remote, let alone this small mountain village.”

The sun was the most poisonous at that time of the day when they left by car.

“You shouldn’t come here in such a weather.”

“I’ll just take it as a way to distract myself . Let’s go.”

…

In Jing City which was thousands of miles away.

A few specialists were holding a consultation. The object of the consultation was a young man who came overnight. His illness was very difficult to treat.

“It’s already up to this degree. It’s better to sever it directly!” a doctor said. He never had a good impression on such a young man.

“How is that okay? He isn’t married yet.”

“According to his current situation, even if his illness was cured, he’ll become sterile. It’s only a symbolic meaning to stay alive.”

“Among the two sets of proposals, I agree with the first one.”

Just when the doctors were discussing, in the ward, the pale-faced Qu Yang was lying on the bed and shivering.

How are they going to treat my illness? Can it be healed? All of a sudden, he had a lot of thoughts.

At that moment, he regretted, or it should be said that he began to regret a long time ago. He regretted what he did. Him being a Casanova at that time made him feel it was better to die than to stay alive.

If there was a medicine for regret in life, he would need two bottles of it, but unfortunately, there was none.

His parents accompanied him beside the bed. They also had a mournful countenance. They also regretted that they should not be so indulgent to their precious son.

Doting on a child was just as killing him. This statement was true.

After a period of time, the attending doctor came in and called his parents out.

“I’ll first discuss this with the two of you. We’ve developed a treatment plan, but it has a certain level of risk. We need to listen to your opinions on whether or not to carry out this treatment plan.”

After that, the doctor told the two elders about the treatment plan.

“Doctor, we’ll go with this treatment plan.”

“Okay, but I have to inform you in advance that even if the process of the treatment is very smooth, your son will become sterile. You must be mentally prepared.”

“What?” The two elders were stunned. They immediately felt dizzy and hurriedly supported each other by the arm.

They were still wishing to hold their grandchild and have three or four generations under one roof. After hearing such a bad news all of a sudden, it was no different to a head-on blow.

A beautiful hope became nothing.

Sigh. The two elders caught their breaths after some time.

“Okay, thank you.” They did not even have the energy to speak.

“Don’t’ take it so hard,” the doctor advised.

The two elders entered the ward. They felt that their hearts were bore down by a stone and they could not breathe.

“Father, Mother, how is it?” Qu Yang was very anxious just now and immediately asked his parents when they came in.

“The doctor has already determined the treatment plan. It can heal you,” his mother said with a forced smile.

“That’s good. That’s good,” Qu Yang replied.

…

The 29th day of the sixth month in the Lunar calendar, great heat.

It was suitable for worshipping and relocating graveyards.

This was the hottest day of the year.

The villagers chose to relocate the graveyard at noon when the sun was the hottest.

The firecrackers crackled and spluttered.

Relocating the graveyard at this time? Standing on the hill, Wang Yao looked into the distance.

The breeze was very refreshing and cooling in the Spirit gathering battle array.

Could someone have collapsed?

A strong man might not even be able to withstand such sweltering heat.

Fortunately, the whole process was very smooth. At noon, a new grave was built. The children of that family also held a memorial ceremony. They cried and screamed. Their hearts ached for the old man.

Thud. A woman who was somewhat aged did not get up again after kneeling.

Indeed, someone had collapsed.

“Sister!”

Upon seeing the situation, they all panicked. They hurriedly carried her down the hill and sent her to the hospital.

“Sure enough, something happened!” Wang Yao mumbled. Who chose such a day?

After a while, the ground on the hilltop opposite was empty, leaving only some unburned spiritual money.

Wang Yao sat under a big tree beside the cottage, looking at the fire-like red flowers not far away.

The Dangyang flower he planted grew the most in this hottest season. Beautiful flowers bloomed. The hotter the weather, the better the licorice roots would grow. Of course, there must be a sufficient aura.

Looking at the red flowers swaying in the wind, Wang Yao said with a smile, “I happened to need you.”

Outside the medical center at the foot of the hill, an honest man knocked on the door several times. After hearing that there was no response, he went back.

…

Bupleurum, cohosh, kudzu vine root, incised notopterygium, radix sileris… Dangyang flower.

On the hill, Wang Yao had prepared the medicinal herbs used to decoct the Sanyang powder. He planned to decoct the medicine the next day.

He went down the hill and returned home when it was near evening.

He happened to run into Wang Fengming at the entrance of the village. Wang Fengming seemed to have waited there for a long time and had specially waited for him. After seeing Wang Yao, he smiled and walked to the front.

“Uncle.”

“Yao, are you going home?”

“Yes. Uncle, is there anything?”

“Yes. Your aunt keeps having headaches since yesterday. She went to the hospital in town for a checkup and the doctor said she has somewhat of a heatstroke. Her headache has worsened today. What do you think?”

“Let’s go. I’ll go take a look with you,” Wang Yao replied hurriedly.

After that, he followed Wang Fengming to his house. The woman who had worked hard for most of her life was lying on the bed and she did not look good.

“Yao is here.” After seeing Wang Yao, she wanted to get up.

“Hey Aunty, lie down if you don’t feel good. I’ll have a look.”

Wang Yao checked her pulse to give her a diagnosis.

It was indeed a heatstroke. However, the damp heat had not been effectively eliminated, resulting in the aggravation of the body.

“I’ll give you a massage.”

“Okay.”

Wang Yao immediately began to massage her acupoints to dredge the blood. He mainly massaged the several core channels and collaterals and major acupoints on her back.

In an instant, she was drenched in sweat. The sweat on her forehead could not stop dripping. Once the sweat was expelled, she felt a little better.

“Let her rest. I’ll formulate a medicine for her tomorrow.”

“Okay, thank you. How much is the consultation fee?”

“It’s okay.” Wang Yao smiled while waving his hand.

“How is that okay?” Wang Fengming replied.

“It’s really okay, Uncle. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home first.” Wang Yao pushed the money taken out by Wang Fengming back.

They were from the same village and Wang Fengming was an honest man. He had even helped to put out the fire on Nanshan hill that day. It was something easy, so it was not appropriate for Wang Yao to collect a fee.

When Wang Yao returned home, he found out that his mother was chatting with his sister through video-calling.

“Eh, Yao, where’s Jiuzhaigou?”

Wang Yao suddenly paused his footsteps.

“Wait, Sister, didn’t you go to Southern Yunnan? Why are you in Jiuzhaigou?”

“It’s not far from Southern Yunnan here. In addition to study exchange, we came over to see the scenery and took the opportunity to look at the local agricultural development in order to exchange and improve.”

“Exchange and improve. You said it so nobly. Isn’t this going on a trip using the public expenditure?”

Wang Yao said a few words to his sister.

“Eh, Brother, the pill you gave me is pretty useful!”

“Pill? What pill?” Wang Yao did not come to his senses.

“It’s the Prolongation pill which you gave me!” Wang Ru said with a laugh in the videocall.

“You used it? What happened?!” Wang Yao replied hurriedly.

“I didn’t use it. I gave it to someone else,” Wang Ru answered with a smile.

“You gave it to someone else? Who?!” Wang Yao hurriedly asked, “Your colleague?”

“No. During our trip, I met a stranger when we had the exchange. I saw that he was extremely unwell. I thought that you told me the effect of the pill was good, so I gave it to him. In the end, he was really rescued!” When it came to this matter, Wang Ru seemed to be quite excited.

“You used it to save a stranger?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

Wang Yao froze.

“You’re a black sheep!”

“Watch how you speak!” Wang Ru on the other end of the videocall was not pleased.

“Do you know that the pill is… Forget it. It’s fine as long as you’re happy!” At last, Wang Yao waved his hand helplessly.
