Brother, dont be mad. Let me take a look at Shaoyang, said Li Yaoqiang.

He actually didnt like his nephew at all. Li Shaoyang always fiddled around and never did any proper work. However, Li Yaoqiang knew his nephew had been like this since he was a little boy. It wouldnt be easy to change his personality, and Li Shaoyangs mother spoiled him too badly.

Li Yaoqiang sat next to the hospital bed to check his nephews pulse.

He had the same problem as last time, but it is worse this time, said Li Yaoqiang as he stood up.

His meridians were damaged? asked Li Yaosheng.

Yes, said Li Yaoqiang.

Can you cure him? asked Li Yaosheng.

Wait a moment, said Li Yaoqiang.

Li Yaoqiang also checked his pulse to diagnose. He was actually a very good Chinese Traditional Medical Practitioner.

He frowned slightly.

What? asked Li Yaosheng.

What did you say the person who attacked you? Was it Wang Yao? asked Li Yaoqiang.

Yes, why? Uncle? asked Li Shaoyang.

Nothing, lie down now, said Li Yaoqiang.

He took out a set of acupuncture needles out of his bag. He found that several Li Shaoyangs several meridians were blocked by external force. He wanted to unblock those meridians with acupuncture treatment.

Oh, okay. Grrr. said Li Shaoyang.

He couldnt stop burping.

Li Yaoqiang suddenly pat Li Shaoyang on his back, which startled Li Shaoyang.

What are you doing? Uncle? shouted Li Shaoyang.

Grrr!

It didnt work.

Normally a shock could effectively stop burping.

Lets try to stop you burping, otherwise I cant give you acupuncture treatment, said Li Yaoqiang.

He used massage and herbs, and it took a whole day to stop Li Shaoyangs burping.

Jesus, finally you stopped burping. Li Shaoyang was relieved.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didnt expect it to take so long to stop Li Shaoyang from burping.

Have a rest. Ill give you acupuncture treatment again tomorrow, said Li Yaoqiang.

Li Shaoyang was exhausted after the treatment session. Li Yaosheng and Li Yaoqiang stayed in Haiqu overnight.

Can Shaoyang be transferred to a different hospital tomorrow? asked Li Yaosheng.

Yes, said Li Yaoqiang.

Okay, I want to take him back to Ji City as soon as possible, said Li Yaosheng.

How about that young man called Wang Yao? asked Li Yaoqiang.

I will have payback. Li Yaoshengs eyes became vicious.

It was very quiet in the village. It was still a bit hot and humid although it was the beginning of autumn.

Wang Yao received a phone call from Chen Boyuan after lunch. This was the third time Chen Boyuan had called. He only wanted to check if Wang Yao was at home, because Song Ruiping was coming to the village the next day.

I will be at home tomorrow, said Wang Yao with a smile. He didnt have any plan to go out anyway.

Do you have a visitor tomorrow? asked Zhang Xiuying.

Yes, from Beijing, said Wang Yao.

Would you like me to prepare for lunch? Are they coming for lunch? asked Zhang Xiuying.

No, said Wang Yao as he shook his hand.

They are a patients family members, but their social status is very special, said Wang Yao.

He wouldnt be able to treat every single visitor to dinner, otherwise he would be too tired.

I see, said Zhang Xiuying.

The next morning, the daybreak came early. Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill for his clinic.

Great, the grapes have matured.

Wang Yao found a bunch of grapes that were matured. He went close and put one into his mouth.

So sweet! murmured Wang Yao.

The grapes were sweet and juicy. They tasted really good.

He picked the whole bunch of grapes and washed them in the water, then put them in the plate.

A black car followed the muddy road and went into the village around 10 am.

Does Dr. Wang live in this village? asked Song Ruiping.

Yes, Maam, said Chen Boyuan.

Song Ruiping kept looking around on her way to the village. She knew about Haiqu, which was a small city on the coast. Haiqu was a beautiful city, but its infrastructure was behind all the other cities on the peninsula. As for Lianshan, it was even less developed than Haiqu. It was bad in Lianshan. The infrastructure in Lianshan couldnt compare to big cities.

Song Ruiping couldnt think of any reason why an extraordinary doctor would want to live at a place like Lianshan.

It was not easy to drive on the road around the hill because the road was too narrow. All the vehicles including cars and motorcycles had to move quite slowly. It took Chen Boyuan quite a while to get to the village. He parked the car at the southern end of the village.

Song Ruiping saw the house with black roof and white walls as soon as she got out of the car.

The clinic looks quite pretty, said Song Ruiping.

Yes, I heard the clinic was designed by a university professor. This way, Maam, said Chen Boyuan.

Chen Boyuan led Song Ruiping into the courtyard, they felt cooler immediately. The courtyard was much cooler than the outside.

This courtyard looks quite nice, said Song Ruiping.

Yes, said Chen Boyuan.

Hello, Dr. Wang? said Chen Boyuan gently.

Hello, please come in, said Wang Yao inside the clinic.

The decoration of the clinic was simple but elegant.

Hello, Dr. Wang, said Song Ruiping.

Hello. Please, have a seat, said Wang Yao.

After sitting down, Song Ruiping chatted with Wang Yao for a short while before she explained the purpose of her visit.

May I ask when Dr. Wang can see Xiaoxue again? asked Song Ruiping.

Well, maybe next month? said Wang Yao.

Because of the mission given by the system, Wang Yao definitely couldnt leave the village this month, and he had to find a better plan of how to complete it. Wang Yao also had been thinking of a better treatment strategy for Su Xiaoxue, he just needed more time.

Oh, I see. Song Ruiping was a bit disappointed.

It was the beginning of August. Therefore, if Wang Yao was going to Beijing next month, it would be September at earliest.

What can I do to help you? asked Song Ruiping.

I will need some herbs by then, said Wang Yao.

Not a problem, let Chen Boyuan know if you need anything, said Song Ruiping.

Okay, said Wang Yao. Would you like to try the grapes? I grew it myself. Wang Yao pointed the bunch of grapes in the plate with a smile.

Thank you.

Song Ruiping put one grape into her mouth as a gesture of courtesy.

The grape tasted really delicious, unexpectedly so.

Its so delicious, said Song Ruiping.

Thank you, said Wang Yao.

Song Ruiping stayed for less than 20 minutes before leaving.

Does he really want to stay in this village? asked Song Ruiping.

Yes. You havent been to Nanshan Hill yet. He has an herbal field on that hill, which is quite wonderful, said Chen Boyuan after hesitating for a moment. Chen Boyuan used the word wonderful to describe the herbal field, as he couldnt think of any other words.

Wonderful? We must take a look next time, said Song Ruiping with a smile.

After Song Ruiping had left, Wang Yao asked Li Maoshuang for some special herbs.

He asked Li Maoshuang to get him indigo and comfrey.

These herbs were both for cooling the blood and removing toxins inside the body, and they were not just single herbs. They were combination of different herbs. Wang Yao didnt have all the herbs in his storage.

Li Maoshuang brought the herbs for Li Maoshuang in person in the afternoon.

Why do you want these herbs? asked Li Maoshuang.

Li Maoshuang was an expert of herbs. The herbs required by Wang Yao were not common.

I need them for an experiment, said Wang Yao with a smile.

What is this? A grape? asked Li Maoshuang.

There were only half bunch of grapes left in the plate, which looked like purple agates, and delicious.

Try one, I grew them myself, said Wang Yao.

Wow, so delicious! Li Maoshuang gave a thumbs up after having one grape.

Do you mind if I eat them all? asked Li Maoshuang.

Not at all, said Wang Yao with a smile. There are still some grapes in the courtyard, just not mature yet. Ill save a bunch for you when they are ready to eat, added Wang Yao.

Thank you, said Li Maoshuang.

Apparently, a half-bunch of grapes couldnt satisfy Li Maoshuang.

You should grow more, said Li Maoshuang.

Ill make you a cup of tea, said Wang Yao with a smile. He went to make Li Maoshuang a cup of tea.

You havent gone out recently? asked Li Maoshuang.

No, Ive been staying in the village, said Wang Yao.

We should catch up when it is cooler, said Li Maoshuang.

Yes, we should, said Wang Yao.

My treat! Dont fight with me, said Li Maoshuang.

Okay, said Wang Yao with a smile.

Is Dr. Wang here? Someone was calling outside when they were speaking.

It seems you have a patient. I should go, said Li Maoshuang.

Okay, see you next time, said Wang Yao.

As Li Maoshuang was about to leave the clinic, he bumped into Fang Zhengyuan and his family and the door.

Good afternoon, Dr. Wang, said Fang Zhengyuan as soon as he saw Wang Yao.

The reason why he came today was because his daughter was much better after taking the herbal formula prescribed by Wang Yao. He took his daughter to another doctor and was told that his daughter was getting better. That was when he realized that Dr. Wang was an excellent doctor, so he came back with his family.

Please come in, said Wang Yao. Do you feel better?

Yes, much better, said Fang Yi with a smile.

She had been getting better; at least, she gained some strength and was in good spirits.

Sit down, let me take a look, said Wang Yao.

He checked Fang Yis pulse.

Fang Yi did get better; the herbs were repairing her body.
