One pill saved her baby.

“What do you have?” asked Wang Yao.

“A baby girl,” said Sha Zhihua.

“Good, girls are close to their mothers,” said Wang Yao, smiling.

“Thank you,” said Sha Zhihua.

After chatting with Sha Zhihua for a short while, Wang Yao started to treat Zhou Wuyi.

He gave Zhou Wuyi the decoction which contained Meridian Unblocking Powder as the main component. Half an hour later, he gave Zhou Wuyi a massage to soothe and unblock his meridians.

Zhou Wuyi was wrapped by a warm feeling, as if he was having a sunbath, or submerging into a hot spring.

“So pleasant!” said Zhou Wuyi.

The comfortable feeling didn’t disappear when Wang Yao finished the treatment session. It lasted for several hours following the treatment.

Zhou Xiong invited Wang Yao for dinner after the treatment session, but Wang Yao turned him down politely.

It was Friday, time for Wang Yao to be with his family.

“Shall we catch up on another day?” asked Zhou Xiong.

“Okay, another day. My treat,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Ru came back home in the afternoon with a very happy Du Mingyang. Du Mingyao still bought a lot of gifts for Zhang Xiuying and Wang Fenghua.

He didn’t stay for long after dinner.

Wang Ru seemed to be quiet during dinner.

What is happening?

Wang Yao didn’t know how to feel about Wang Ru’s change of personality.

Du Mingyang left right after 8 pm. Wang Ru walked him out and talked with him for quite a long while.

“Sis, what’s wrong with you?” asked Wang Yao after Wang Ru had come back inside the house.

“Why did you ask?” said Wang Ru.

“You acted like a lady during dinner,” said Wang Yao.

“Isn’t it a good thing?” said Wang Ru.

“It is a good thing, but I feel weird about it,” said Wang Yao. “Come sit down, let me take a look at you.”

“Stop talking nonsense!” said Wang Ru as she was glaring at her brother.

“Haha, I know you were faking it,” said Wang Yao.

“Shut up. I need to use your computer,” said Wang Ru.

“What for?” asked Wang Yao.

“Online shopping!” said Wang Ru.

...

It was a bit gloomy the next morning. The wind from north was blowing hard.

Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei went to Lianshan from Haiqu.

Unlike Haiqu’s flat physical feature, Lianshan had a lot of small hills, which stretched out on both sides of the main road.

“The person you mentioned lives in this small town?” asked Lu Xiaomei.

“Yes. To be precise, he lives in a village,” said Su Changhe.

“In a village?” Lu Xiaomei was surprised.

“Yes, I met him by accident. He cured one of my patients, whom I didn’t think would survive. Actually, he’s almost cured another one, whom I believed was beyond cure,” said Su Changhe.

“Unbelievable!” said Lu Xiaomei.

“Right?” said Su Changhe.

The bus was running fast on the highway. The traffic in Lianshan was much better than it was in Beijing.

Lu Xiaomei’s mood already seemed to be better.

The bus soon came off the main road and turned onto the path between hills. The surface of the new road was quite smooth. The road was wide enough for different types of vehicles, much better than the old road.

“Here we are,” said Su Changhe.

The bus went into the village, and stopped at the southern end of the village.

“Hmmm, nice building,” said Lu Xiaomei.

“Yeah, you are an expert on buildings,” said Su Changhe.

Lu Xiaomei walked around the clinic after she got out of the bus.

“Hmmm, it must be designed by an excellent architect.” Lu Xiaomei thought the style of building seemed familiar.

“By an excellent architect?” said Su Changhe.

“Yes, Su style,” said Lu Xiaomei.

“Let’s go inside. The courtyard is quite nice,” said Su Changhe.

Lu Xiaomei noticed that the courtyard was well arranged as soon as she stepped in. There were different types of plants in the courtyard. Some of them were bald, the others were still blooming.

“What do you think?” asked Su Changhe.

“It’s nice and classy!” said Lu Xiaomei without thinking. “The design is really beautiful.”

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” said Su Changhe.

“Hello, Professor. Su,” said Wang Yao.

Wow!

Lu Xiaomei was surprised to see the doctor that her old schoolmate recommended and took her all the way to see was such a young man.

She was impressed with Wang Yao’s good manners.

After everyone had sat down, Su Changhe briefed Wang Yao on Lu Xiaomei’s situation. He didn’t hide anything. Wang Yao needed to know everything about what had happened to Lu Xiaomei.

“I see, let me take a look at you first,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao had a good look at Lu Xiaomei.

Since Lu Xiaomei’s disease was caused by virus, it was considered a toxin in Traditional Chinese Medicine and was, as such, relatively easy to treat.

Wang Yao had a few licorice roots with a detoxication effect in his herbal field.

“How is she?” asked Su Changhe.

“Not too bad,” said Wang Yao.

“That’s good.” Su Changhe breathed a sigh of relief.

“Not too bad?” repeated Lu Xiaomei.

She was surprised to hear Wang Yao’s comment. Ever since she had gotten sick, she had done some research on her condition. After all, she was responsible for her own health. All the information she found online indicated that her condition was very hard-to-treat. In addition, she had two different conditions.

She didn’t expect such a comment from Wang Yao, who made it sound easy. She was wondering if Wang Yao was truly that capable or just a fraud.

“How long are you two going to stay here for?” asked Wang Yao.

“Well, does the treatment take long?” asked Su Changhe.

“I will brew several decoctions for her to take first. She will need to come back to be checked on after,” said Wang Yao.

“We can stay a bit longer here,” said Su Changhe after thinking for a moment.

“That’s fine. I have a good idea of her condition. Come back to get the decoction tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Su Changhe.

“Dr. Wang, Can I ask you a question?” asked Lu Xiaomei.

“Of course,” said Wang Yao.

“Who designed this clinic?” asked Lu Xiaomei.

“A professor,” said Wang Yao,.

“Professor? Can you tell me his name?” asked Lu Xiaomei.

“He is from Tongji University. His surname is Lu,” said Wang Yao.

“No wonder!” said Lu Xiaomei, as if she had just realized something. No wonder the style of the building was so familiar to her.

“Professor Lu, the famous architect?” said Su Changhe with surprise.

“Yes, him. How did you know him?” asked Lu Xiaomei.

“He is one of my patients,” said Wang Yao.

“Oh, I see.” Lu Xiaomei sounded calm, even though she was very surprised.

It seemed that Wang Yao was truly an extraordinary doctor, otherwise Professor Lu wouldn’t have come all the way here to see him. Of course she didn’t know Wang Yao had only seen him by chance.

“Thank you, Dr. Wang, we have to go back to the town center now,” said Su Changhe.

“Okay, come back to get the decoction tomorrow afternoon,” said Wang Yao.

“Sure, see you later,” said Su Changhe.

“System, is the patient’s condition considered difficult-to-treat?” asked Wang Yao immediately after Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei had left.

Yes.

“Great!” Wang Yao was thrilled by the system’s response.

He also remembered the sexual transmission disease case in The Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases.

“There was a scholar whose surname was Xu. He liked drinking and visiting brothels. Eventually he was infected by a sexually transmitted disease. His body was covered by ulcers. He went to see a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. The practitioner gave him a decoction and acupuncture treatment. He got better after three months treatment.”

This was a case in which the practitioner cured a patient with a sexually transmitted disease successfully.

The formula the practitioner prescribed included radix sophora flavescens, Smilax glabra Roxb, Podophyllum hexandrum...

The whole formula was written below.

I can probably use this formula.

The virus in Lu Xiaomei’s body was still in its incubation period. The symptoms hadn’t appeared. This was the best time to treat it.

Based on the formula in The Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases, Wang Yao added two licorice roots, Bajiaotong and Lingshanji.

The two licorice roots could clear away heat and toxic substances and eliminate pathogenic factors.

The common herbs contained in the formula were all available in the herbal field.

The weather tomorrow?

Wang Yao looked up at the sky when he was standing in the courtyard.

The weather tomorrow would be fine.

. . .

Meanwhile, in Bingzhou, which was thousands miles away from Lianshan, Long Yunfei was standing at the balcony. He held onto the rails and looked through the window.

He could now walk for short distance when holding onto furniture. He had some sensation back in his legs on the same day when he returned from Haiqu. He could move his toes the next day, then gradually improved. At the moment he could bear his own weight and walk a few steps.

Although it was dark and cloudy outside, he was in good mood.

Soon he could go out and didn’t need to be stuck in a wheelchair.

The days of being wheelchair-bound were a torture to Long Yunfei as well as a test. He took the chance to read a lot of medical books and published some high quality articles in medical magazines. He had picked up his old profession and spent a lot of time with his family. This was sort of blessing in disguise.

As for revenge, he had such thoughts previously, but now, he completely gave them up.

It was no good to be Wang Yao’s enemy.

. . .

It was snowing in Beijing, the second snowy day in winter. The snow was not heavy.

Su Xiaoxue was sitting in the courtyard and looking up at the sky. She let the icy cold snowflakes drop on her face

“Miss, please come inside, it’s too cold outside,” said one of the maids.

“I’m fine. I’ve got thick clothes on. I want to stay here a big longer,” said Su Xiaoxue with a smile.

The maid took out a jacket to drape it over Su Xiaoxue’s shoulders.

“You’ve just gotten better, I don’t want you to catch a cold,” said the maid.

“Thank you. What do you think the Great Wall looks like now?” asked Su Xiaoxue.
