Chapter 629: Calm but Potent

After hearing the ingredients, w.a.n.g Yao did not agree. Although the nutrients were quite rich, going to too far was as bad as not going far enough.

Even healthy people might not be able to enjoy such nutrient-rich supplements, let alone a patient suffering from severe diseases. It was like a person who had not drank any water for two or three days and was thirsty but could only take a small sip. Otherwise, drinking too much was harmful to the body.

As for the patient’s poor health, it was a problem for his weak stomach and intestine to absorb the nutrients from the supplement. The redundant part would acc.u.mulate in the belly and eventually turn into toxins.

“Does he take the supplement every time he wakes up?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Yes, he takes a small bowl every time he wakes up,” Mr. Wu said.

“Who gave him the prescription?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Ji Laitian from Jing,” Mr. Wu said.

Ah? It was strange name that w.a.n.g Yao had never heard. “How long has he been taking it?”

“More than a month,” Mr. Wu said. “Is there a problem with the soup?”

“It is a temporary relief that results in disaster.” w.a.n.g Yao thought for a moment.

“Ji Laitian also said so, but there is no better way,” Mr. Wu said.

When people were on the brink of death, they would have no hesitation to take medicine as long as there was the possibility of living, even if they knew that it was poison that would lead to death.

“Stop taking it,” w.a.n.g Yao calmly said.

“Stop, then the Childe…” Mr. Wu was confused.

“With my care, he will not die from the disease,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He was calm and straightforward, which was extremely potent. Mr. Wu and Zheng s.h.i.+xioing were stunned for a while.

“OK, we won’t give it to him anymore.” Mr. Wu smiled in agreement with the doctor. “What about the medicine later on?”

“Do you mean the medicine making him sleep?” w.a.n.g Yao asked.

“Yes, do we need to continue giving him that?” Mr. Wu asked.

“Yes,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

He wanted to see what the drug was and how it worked. It was not soup or an ointment. It was a black pill the size of a large cherry that gave off a special aroma.

Based on the smell, w.a.n.g Yao could identify some of the herbs in it including polygonum, ganoderma lucidum, and gynostemia. There were still some he could not identify. He could tell that there were not just botanicals but also something else.

After the pill was taken with warm water, Zheng Weizhen quickly fell asleep. w.a.n.g Yao reached out to feel the pulse, which rapidly changed.

When the young man fell asleep, he went into a state of deep sleep. In this state, the body’s metabolism slowed down to a very low level, nearly one-fifth of the average person, possibly even lower. This state was somewhat like a hibernating snake or bear.

His body was indeed delayed from decline, but the exogenous evils in his body were not affected much. They were still destroying the patient’s body. The effect of the medicine was to slow it down.

The medicine had some advantages, which inspired w.a.n.g Yao. “It is to delay the aging of the body, which is a good idea.”

“Dr. w.a.n.g, what do you think?” Mr. Wu asked.

“Well, take the medicine first and tell me when he wakes up next time,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“OK,” Mr. Wu said.

When w.a.n.g Yao left house, it was nearly 5 p.m. He couldn’t stop thinking about the strange medicine. He had never seen patients suffering from difficult miscellaneous diseases take medicine like it before. After returning to the clinic, he carefully recorded the treatment, especially the medicine he had never seen before.

Near the evening, Chen Ying invited him to dinner in the rented house. It was hard to turn down such a warm-hearted offer. Chu Lian and Chen Ying cooked the meal. It was southern Chinese cooking with mild flavor.

“Mr. w.a.n.g, do you like the taste?” Chen Ying asked.

“It was pretty good,” w.a.n.g Yao replied.

During the meal, both the host and guest were happy.

After the meal, Su Xiaoxue asked, “What about playing poker?”

“Oh, OK.”

w.a.n.g Yao stayed to play for a while before returning home.

At home, Zhang Xiuying mentioned Su Xiaoxue. “I heard that a very beautiful girl comes to see you. Is she from Jing?”

A beautiful girl in the village, like a fairy maiden, coming for w.a.n.g Yao was news that spread quickly in the village.

“Fenghua’s son is really lucky with girls,” a villager said.

“Yeah, his previous girlfriend was really beautiful. A few days ago, another beautiful girl came for him and is still in the village. She is more beautiful,” another villager said.

“The young man is quite good at getting along with girls,” another villager said.

The so-called person who had come a few days ago was Su Xiaoxue. During her stay in the village, almost half of the village people had seen this extraordinarily beautiful woman.

“She is the girl I mentioned last time whom I went to Jing to see for treatment,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“I know. Has she been here for a few times?” Zhang Xiuying asked with a smile.

“Ah, yes,” w.a.n.g Yao said.

“I have seen her. She is beautiful,” Zhang Xiuying said.

w.a.n.g Yao felt that there was something hidden in his mother’s words.

“Your sister is getting married in October. You have to hurry up,” Zhang Xiuying

It was just as he expected. “Oh, I know, Mom.”

…

In the People’s Hospitals in Lianshan County…

“Doctor, does he need to be hospitalized for two more days?” a woman asked.

“It is not necessary. He has been hospitalized for half a month,” the doctor said. “His condition is relatively stable, and there is no obvious effect in treatment. He can be discharged from the hospital.”

The patient’s stability had two meanings. First, his condition had not deteriorated. Second, he wasn’t getting better. He had been staying in the hospital occupying a bed. Since two more patients had arrived the previous night, ward beds were needed.

“OK, thanks very much for the treatment,” the woman said.

“You’re welcome,” the doctor replied.

“Another one.” The doctor sighed after the woman left.

“Is that the man who has come two times?” another doctor asked.

“Yes, I proscribed the imported drugs for him,” the doctor said.

His colleague paused his writing and replied, “It must be quite expensive.”

“The effect is good,” the doctor said. “If the thrombosis attacks again, it will be very troublesome.”

The woman and her son finished the discharge procedure. As they headed to the elevator, they supported the man’s steps while he drew circles with his hands.

“Excuse me,” the woman said.

The elevator in the hospital was very crowded. Everyone consciously made room for the patient.

Ding! Dong! The elevator arrived at the ground level. The door opened. The family slowly exited.

“Oh, there are so many people suffering from the problem now,” one of the elevator pa.s.sengers said.

“Yeah, there is a young boy in my workplace who got the problem in his 20s,” another pa.s.senger said. “Now, he walks like that, taking a step while drawing a circle.”

The circles were because one leg had almost no strength. After the other leg took a step, the weak one moved impotently. This created the impression of drawing a half circle to help control movement.

After getting in the car, the woman said, “Go to w.a.n.g Jia village.”

“Mom, are you alright?” her son asked. “You must be kidding. I’ve told you that he must be a liar.”

“Go! What if it works? I asked some people in the village. That man, He s.h.i.+li, had cerebral thrombosis last winter, but now he is fine,” the woman said. “It’s as if nothing happened. I heard that he did not take some special medicine. He only recovered after seeing the Dr. w.a.n.g.”

The woman turned to her husband and asked, “Is that alright?”

“Gooo…” The man could not talk clearly. The corner of his mouth slanted to one side. Saliva flowed out, which his hand quivered to wipe away with a handkerchief. In addition to his leg, his hand was also out of control.

“Let’s go now,” the woman said to her son. “I don’t suppose you want your dad to be like this?”

“Fine, let’s go. I hope it works.” The young man drove the car to Song Bai County where he asked people how to find the small mountain village hidden in the mountains. “It is so remote.”

As soon as he entered the village, he found there were some differences. There were several luxury cars parked on the road.

“Goodness! There are a lot of wealthy people in this small village,” the young man said. “These are all imported cars. Each one is worth a lot of money!”

The young man sighed as he drove to the south of the village and parked. He saw the small courtyard with somewhat of a Hui style.

“Oh, this house is pretty nice,” the young man said.

“I’ll get out to ask,” the woman said.

She knocked on the door and entered the clinic. Seeing the young man who was almost as old as her son, she hesitantly asked, “Is Dr. w.a.n.g here?”

“Yes, I am,” w.a.n.g Yao said. “Can I help you?”

“Ah, my husband suffered from cerebral thrombosis and was just discharged from the hospital,” the woman said. “I was told that you could cure the disease. We have come in hopes that you would take a look at him.”
