“Excellent! I’ve improved the quality of the pills this time,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile as he was looking at the herbal pills inside the herb tray.

w.a.n.g Yao put all the herbal pills inside a porcelain bottle after he had made them.

Another day! w.a.n.g Yao stretched and yawned, then walked out of the cottage.

Water had entered the small pool w.a.n.g Yao dug just now, which looked very clear.

Good! The pool should be full of water in the next two to three days.

w.a.n.g Yao went to the top of the hill and started to practice Tai Chi next to a big rock. His body moved with his heart. His Qi flowed freely inside his body as if w.a.n.g Yao could control the wind and Qi in his palm.

w.a.n.g Yao didn’t stop practicing until it was dark. He went home for dinner.

“I heard hot spring water was found in the ditch inside Li Village at West,” said Zhang Xiuying while they were having dinner.

“Hot spring water?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Yes, I also heard the area is going to be developed into a holiday resort,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Holiday resort? They should fix the roads first,” said w.a.n.g Yao with a smile. The roads inside Li Village only had one lane. People couldn’t even take over a car in front—who was going to go there?

“You never know. Some people just like visiting rural places, and they don’t mind whether the roads are good,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Hey, how can you guys start having dinner without me?” w.a.n.g Ru opened the door and came in while w.a.n.g Yao was having dinner with his parents.

“How come you are back today?” said Zhang Xiuying in surprise.

“It’s Friday today, and tomorrow will be weekend. I called you earlier,” said w.a.n.g Ru.

“Sorry, I was busy talking about the hot spring water and forgot about you. Have you had dinner?” asked Zhang Xiuying with a smile.

“Hahaha!” w.a.n.g Yao suddenly started to laugh. He looked really happy.

w.a.n.g Ru stood there and pretended she was angry.

“There is still some lamb soup left in the pot; I’ll heat it for you,” said Zhang Xiuying.

Feeling that she was not treated seriously, w.a.n.g Ru, a pretty and slim girl drank three bowls of soup in a row.

“Jesus, Sis, haven’t you had lunch?” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Shut your mouth!” said w.a.n.g Ru.

The whole house became alive after w.a.n.g Ru had arrived.

w.a.n.g Yao and his family chatted and played poker games after dinner. It was nice and cozy.

“What’s your plan tomorrow, Yao?” asked w.a.n.g Ru.

“I need to run some errands tomorrow in town,” said w.a.n.g Yao. He actually needed to see Wei Hai the next day.

“Can I take a look at your herbal field tomorrow? Tell your dog, and your eagle don’t stop me,” said w.a.n.g Ru.

“Why do you want to see my herbal field?” asked w.a.n.g Yao reluctantly.

“I need to look for some herbs. Well, no, I need to study the herbs,” said w.a.n.g Ru.

“No way! Don’t even think of it,” w.a.n.g Yao declined his sister directly. “I’ll go with you after I come back if you really want some herbs.”

“Stingy!” said w.a.n.g Ru grumpily.

w.a.n.g Yao was worried that his naughty sister would do something she was not supposed to do on Nanshan hill. He never worried about his parents staying around on Nanshan hill; they never entered his herbal field. His parents knew it was not easy for him to plant all those herbs. However, his sister was too curious to stay away from the herbal field. w.a.n.g Yao wouldn’t risk her damaging his licorice roots.

“I’m going back to the hill,” said w.a.n.g Yao to his family before leaving.

…

It was very quiet on the hill at night. A person was walking extremely fast on the winding roads of the hill. w.a.n.g Yao walked in the same way uphill almost every evening. Tai Chi was not always slow. Sometimes Tai Chi could be as fast as thunder.

w.a.n.g Yao walked all the way up to where his cottage was without stopping. He did breathing exercise to settle his breath before entering the cottage. Then, he read scriptures for a short while and went to sleep.

The next day, he came to w.a.n.g Mingbao’s store as promised. Wei Hai had been waiting for him by the time he had arrived.

“h.e.l.lo, Dr. w.a.n.g.” Wei Hai came to w.a.n.g Yao as soon as he saw him. The look on Wei Hai’s look was like meeting a family member who he hadn’t seen for years.

Tears were in Wei Hai’s eyes. He was so eager to see w.a.n.g Yao.

“Finally, you are here, Yao. He had arrived even before I opened the store,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao with a smile.

As soon as w.a.n.g Mingbao arrived at his store in the morning, he saw Wei Hai got out of his vehicle. Wei Hai had been waiting for w.a.n.g Yao in his store since early in the morning.

“Please sit down, let me take a look at you,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

Wei Hai was very compliant. He sat down and showed w.a.n.g Yao his arms immediately.

w.a.n.g Yao checked his pulse for a while and could sense the difference.

“How have you been feeling in the last few days?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“I feel much better,” said Wei Hai. “The herbs you gave me worked really well.”

w.a.n.g Yao knew the decoction he made for Wei Hai only made him feel better. The decoction had been repairing his body and consolidating his corporeity. It would not cure him—not even the symptoms.

Regather soup surely had its effect.

I should let him try the other decoction, thought w.a.n.g Yao.

“What’s wrong? Dr. w.a.n.g?” Wei Hai was a bit nervous, as w.a.n.g Yao hadn’t spoken for a while. He was very jittery and easily panicked.

“Your health has improved. I’ve got another decoction here, which could kill the insects in your body, but the nature of the decoction is very strong. You may not feel good while taking it,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Don’t worry, I can tolerate the discomfort,” said Wei Hai even before w.a.n.g Yao had finished talking.

“Okay, I’ll give the decoction to you to try.” w.a.n.g Yao took out the decoction which contained miasma gra.s.s.

“Just try a little bit to begin with,” said w.a.n.g Yao. w.a.n.g Mingbao took out a small gla.s.s while w.a.n.g Yao was talking.

The decoction was light green and had a mild aroma. It didn’t seem to be strong.

Wei Hai took the whole gla.s.s of decoction without hesitation. The decoction tasted special and was a bit spicy.

w.a.n.g Yao checked Wei Hai’s pulse again after ten minutes.

“Tell me if you feel uncomfortable,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Sure,” said Wei Hai.

After half an hour, Wei Hai’s face changed, and he started to sweat on his head.

“What’s going on? Do you feel pain in your belly?” asked w.a.n.g Yao immediately.

“Yes,” said Wei Hai.

“Where is the pain?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Here,” said Wei Hai.

He pointed at the ribs on his right-hand side.

“Liver?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“I need to go to the toilet now!” Wei Hei rushed out of the room.

Blergh! Wei Hai started to vomit before reaching the toilet. He vomited blood, dark red blood, which was as thick as mud.

Ah!!

A woman pa.s.sing Wei Hai screamed after she saw the blood.

“What’s going on?!” w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao ran out of the room after hearing the scream. They saw Wei Hai holding onto the wall with a puddle of dark red blood next to his feet.

w.a.n.g Yao felt a fishy smell before walking closer to Wei Hai.

“Oh my G.o.d! What’s happening?” Wei Hai was in shock.

w.a.n.g Yao bent down to check the blood on the ground. It seemed that there was something muddy in the blood. w.a.n.g Yao looked close and found that there were actually tiny insects smaller than a thread within the vomit. The insects were moving inside the blood—it looked disgusting.

“Oh!”

Wei Hai’s body suddenly started to shake. He then ran into the toilet and stayed there for a long time.

“What the h.e.l.l is this?!” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

w.a.n.g Mingbao saw the blood on the ground, and he could see something moving inside the blood, which gave him a s.h.i.+ver. He felt his hair standing on end.

“We need to have the place cleaned and sterilized,” said w.a.n.g Yao to w.a.n.g Mingbao.

“Okay, I’ll deal with it now,” said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

w.a.n.g Mingbao immediately arranged people to clean the blood off the ground and wash the area a number of times using bleach. The corridor was full of the smell of cleaning supplies afterwards.

“Can you see him at a different place next time?” asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

Businessmen were often superst.i.tious. Blood was not a good sign; the blood was in w.a.n.g Mingbao’s store, and it looked a bit spooky.

After coming out of the toilet, Wei Hai acted like he had lost his soul. He couldn’t even walk properly.

“Dr. w.a.n.g, what happened to me? Why did I vomit blood and why does my stool have blood?!” Although Wei Hai was seriously ill, he had never vomited blood like this.

“It was due to the decoction you took just now. The decoction helped you to excrete the parasites,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

He thought for a short moment and agreed with w.a.n.g Yao. “Maybe I should drink a bit more?” said Wei Hai. He then wanted to take more of the decoction.

“Not now!” w.a.n.g Yao stopped him.

He didn’t expect the decoction to be so strong. Wei Hai was still quite weak, so he wouldn’t be able to tolerate more decoction in his body.

“Well, let me brew you another Regather soup to take with the decoction I gave you just now,” said w.a.n.g Yao after thinking for a moment.

“Okay, should I wait for you here?” asked Wei Hai.

“No, you can come back tomorrow,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

“Dr. w.a.n.g, I bought a commercial property in town, and it is not far from here. Shall I meet you there tomorrow?” asked Wei Hai.

“That’s fine,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao went to have a look at Wei Hai’s property, which was about 50 meters from w.a.n.g Mingbao’s store. It was recently rented out. Surprisingly, the tenants didn’t run Wei Hai’s seafood business. It was a tea shop.

“How about meeting you here tomorrow?” asked Wei Hai.

“No problem,” said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao went home after seeing Wei Hai. Then, he returned to Nanshan hill to prepare some herbs used to brew Regather soup. He didn’t have many herbs left, so he asked Li Maoshuang to purchase some for him.

What a strong decoction! w.a.n.g Yao thoroughly doc.u.mented Wei Hai’s response to miasma gra.s.s in his notebook.

One decoction directly targeted the disease, while the other treated the disease indirectly. They worked quite well. w.a.n.g Yao had more thoughts and a better understanding of how to use herbs. Accepting knowledge from the system and applying the knowledge in a flexible way, were two totally different things.

While w.a.n.g Yao was busy working on the hill, he received a call from his mother. She asked him to go home due to something urgent, so w.a.n.g Yao stopped working and went home.

“What is it, Mom?” asked w.a.n.g Yao.

“Your youngest uncle’s wife is pregnant,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“What!” w.a.n.g Yao felt speechless. “Why does it have anything to do with me?” It took w.a.n.g Yao a while to find words.

“I thought since you knew a lot about medicine, maybe you could tell if she is pregnant with a boy or a girl,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“So, this is why you asked me to come back; just for this?!” w.a.n.g Yao was even more speechless. What the h.e.l.l is this? he thought.

“This is a big thing in the family. You know, your grandparents are so keen on having a grandson!” said Zhang Xiuying.
