“No, it’s a bit higher,” the woman said.

“What is it?” the doctor asked.

“140,” the women said.

“Give him a drug used for blood pressure and heart protection,” the doctor said.

Such high blood pressure and heart rate were very dangerous. When a water pipe was broken, it would spray water. If a blood vessel was broken due to high pressure, it would spurt out blood. Cerebral hemorrhage and visceral bleeding were life-threatening.

The nurse rushed to get the medicine for him.

“When did this happen?” the doctor asked.

“This morning. He went out to herd sheep, but his body was not comfortable. He came back like that,” the woman said.

“Has it been for half a day?” the doctor asked.

“Yes,” the woman said.

The doctor frowned. “The time is so short. His condition is urgent.”

The test report came out soon.

“Ah!” At the sight of the report, the doctor frowned. The situation was very bad. It was beyond his imagination. He did not know what to do.

It was the first time he had encountered such a disease. Naturally, there was no medical case that could be used for reference.

The woman stunned by the doctor’s response. But, there was nothing she could other than to ask him to do his best.

…

Du Mingyang and Wang Ru left around 3 p.m. They did not stay to finish the meal because there were still some things to do at home. Before leaving, Wang Yao’s parents brought them gifts that had been given to them by Wang Yao’s friends.

“Hey, I visit your home, but I bring back more things than I bring,” Du Mingyang said.

“These were all given to Xiaoyao by his friends. They are useless at home,” Wang Ru said.

“How can it be useless?” he asked.

The continued talking as they got into the car and drove away. The road they were on was very narrow. Passing could only be done by two cars staggering.

“Be careful,” Wang Ru said.

A passing car had not slowed down and whizzed passed them.

“Is that a Jing license plate number?” Du Mingyang asked.

“His driving is really bad,” Wang Ru said.

The car kept flying down the road. After a quick turn at the mountain village, it went straight to the south of the village. Two people got out of the car.

“Is it here?” One of them pointed to the clinic.

“Yes, it is here,” the other person said.

The two went to the door and knocked, but there was no one inside.

“What should we do?” one of the men asked.

“Let’s wait.” They waited outside for a while. They finally saw a villager pass by.

“Looking for the doctor?” the man kindly asked.

“Yeah,” one of the men nodded.

“Wait, then,” the villager said.

“Ah?” The two men glanced at each other. What’s the point of your answer?

The villager went down the mountain slowly with his hoe while the two men kept waiting.

“How long should we wait for?” They waited for an hour but didn’t see anyone. They smoked a pack of cigarette and left many cigarette butts.

“Buddy, do you think we came too rashly?” one of the men asked.

“Damn it! It is you who rushed over here even without the morning meal,” the other man said.

“I am just trying to make a good impression on our boss,” the first man said.

“Oh, it is only a small mountain village clinic. Do you have to do in this way?” the other man asked.

“Oh, I heard that this guy may have conflict with our boss’s son,” the first man said.

“One is in the provincial capital, while one is in the village. What conflict can there be?” the other man asked. “Why did you hurriedly arrange us to come over?”

The two men waited until it was dark, but the clinic did not open.

“Damn it.” The men were frustrated.

“Let’s go find a place to eat, as I said, don’t worry,” the first man said.

Two people who had rushed over slowly left.

They stayed in Lianshan County and negotiated for a whole night. They came to the mountain village the next morning. This time, they waited until 10 a.m. to avoid missing the doctor again. Wang Yao was in the clinic.

The door opened very lightly.

“Hello, are you Dr. Wang Yao?” The person was very polite.

“Yes it is me, and who are you?” Wang Yao asked.

“Oh, we are here to see the doctor,” a man with glasses said.

“See a doctor?” Wang Yao glanced at them. “Is it not comfortable?”

“My belly is not comfortable,” the tall, strong man said.

“Belly?” Wang Yao looked at his complexion carefully. “Your belly is fine.”

“How do you know without checking?” the man asked.

“There is no need to check. You’re fine, but your friend has something wrong.” Wang Yao pointed to the man wearing glasses.

“Me, what’s wrong with me?” the man with glasses asked.

“Your problem is not small,” Wang Yao said.

His breathing was hot, and the yellow greasy tongue coating could be faintly seen. This was apparently caused by excessive heat and humidity in the body. His eyes were bloodshot and erratic. This was a sign of uneasiness. Why was he uneasy? Because his viscera were disharmonious.

“Yes, can you please give me a check?” The man smiled. He did not take it seriously.

“OK, please sit,” Wang Yao said. “Do you like drinking?”

“I drink some,” the man said.

“Like eating fried foods?” Wang Yao asked.

“Well, I do like it,” the man said.

“Recently, your defecation has not been very regular and sometimes you have diarrhea, right?” Wang Yao asked.

“Well, yes.” The man sat up involuntarily. Everything Wang Yao said was right and happened to him.

“Is there a faint pain here?” Wang Yao pointed to the lower belly.

“Well, yes,” the man said.

His friend was a little shocked as he listened.

“What is going on? This doctor really has some skills, but the purpose of our coming here is not this. Isn’t this a little pull away?” He gently touched his friend’s shoulder.

“Wait,” the man with glasses said.

“You are drinking too much, and you usually do not pay attention to your diet. So, you have hurt your stomach, and your kidneys also have problems,” Wang Yao said.

“What is the problem?” the man asked.

Wang Yao looked at his deep eye bags. Since the man had entered the clinic, he had yawned more than 10 times. But, his friend did not. This was the result of lack of vigor, which was caused by the deficiency of blood and Qi. Blood was managed by the liver, and vigor was managed by kidneys, which also stored vigor.

“Like girls?” Wang Yao asked.

Both men were stunned.

“Really, why don’t I know?” The tall man looked at his friend.

“This, um.” The man with glasses was embarrassed.

“Everything should be in moderation, but you have gone too far,” Wang Yao said.

“Hey, from what you have said, do I have too many problems?” the man asked.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“But, I did not find so many problems during my recent physical examination,” the man said.

Just a month ago, his work unit had just organized a detailed physical examination. His body was indeed a little sick, which was not fake, but it was not as serious as this doctor was suggesting.

“That is after the check. Your liver has a problem. Alcoholic liver, right?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, it is mild,” the man said.

“There is a problem with the stomach. Gastritis, right?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, it is chronic,” the man said.

“The kidney is in this position. Ss there a cyst?” Wang Yao pointed to the waist on his left side.

Hearing this, the man stood up from the chair. “How do you know this so clearly?”

If it wasn’t the first time he saw this person, he would have thought that he had seen his last medical report.

“I am a pharmacist,” Wang Yao said.

“Pharmacist. Isn’t that a doctor?” the man asked.

“It’s the same.” Wang Yao was becoming a little impatient.

“Then what do you think about the treatment?” the man asked.

“It starts from changing your living habits,” Wang Yao said. “You cannot drink or smoke. Eat less fish and more fruits and vegetables. Also, abstinence, and do more activities and exercise.”

The man had not realized how bad his body was. “Do I need medication?”

“Your liver and stomach are sick and need medication,” Wang Yao said.

“Could you please prescribe some medicine?” the man asked.

“OK,” Wang Yao said.

He gave him some medicine to nurse the stomach and liver.

“Well, how much?” the man asked.

After paying the money, the two men left.

“Hey, what are you doing? Do you remember the purpose of our trip?” the tall man asked.

“Of course I do, but I have a problem with my body. I have to take some medicine. By the way, what he said is accurate,” his friend said.
