This kind of situation usually happened to people with poor fate. For example, after going to the grave to worship ancestors, they might have a fever and vomit when they returned home.
This situation was also very strange because it was basically useless to take medicine. Going to the hospital to find a doctor did not work. When people encountered this situation, they would not really go to the hospital to find a doctor. Instead, they would burn some paper money and send them to “God.” If they were more serious, they would also go to a witch or someone like that. In fact, one could find such a person in nearly every village.
The treatments for the first few people were very quick because they all had small problems. Finally it was Feng’s turn.
“Dr. Wang, I am sorry to trouble you again,” Feng said.
“You are so polite,” Wang Yao said. “Do you feel any better?”
“Yes, I can obviously walk much better,” Feng said.
“That’s good, come on and let me see,” Wang Yao said.
After checking him again, it used the same treatment as before. First, he inserted the needle. Second, he massaged on the acupoints to dredge the blood. This treatment process was slow and took more than an hour.
“OK, we are done,” Wang Yao said. “Come back in two days.”
“Thank you,” Feng said.
This time, the attitude of the Feng’s son toward Wang Yao had completely changed. After all, his father did have a fundamental improvement under this treatment, which was the truth. His disdain toward Wang Yao disappeared. Instead, he appreciated Wang Yao very much. Compared with his father’s health, the money spent was nothing at all.
“Have a safe journey,” Wang Yao said.
Next in the queue was a girl in her 20s.
“Doctor, I think I have a problem with my body.” The young woman was good looking but seemed very serious.
“What is the problem?” Wang Yao asked.
From the methods of looking and “smelling, he could tell that the young woman’s body was quite healthy.
“My body is very unhealthy,” she said.
“Are you not feeling well?” Wang Yao asked.
“I feel that when I walk, the bones of my ankles are ringing and may break at any time,” the woman said.
“Well?” Wang Yao was a bit confused.
“And, when I do some physical activities, it makes some creaking sound, as if the bones will break,” she said. “Look at me! The blood vessels are protruding. Will they explode?”
Through this brief conversation with the young woman, Wang Yao thought she was suffering from paranoia. Her situation was similar to Chen Zhou’s but also quite different because her body itself really had no problems.
“When did you start feeling this way?” Wang Yao asked.
“About a week ago,” the woman said.
“How are you sleeping at night?” Wang Yao asked.
“I don’t sleep well. Sometimes, I dream that I am walking on the road and suddenly my legs are broken and blood is splashing everywhere,” the woman said.
“Your body does have problems,” Wang Yao said.
“Really?” the girl asked.
“I will give you a dose of medicines. After taking it, you will feel much better,” Wang Yao said.
“That is good,” the woman said.
Wang Yao immediately gave her a prescription. The main function of this medicine was to calm her nerves. There were a few fragments of “moon flower ” inside.
“This is the direction and taking it on time.”
“Doctor, when I walk, will the blood vessels break?”
“You will recover after taking the medicine.”
“It is good.”
As for the drug, Wang Yao charged her $1,000. The girl did not hesitate to pay.
“Dr. Wang, is that girl really sick?” the remaining patient asked curiously.
“Yes, she has paranoia,” Wang Yao said.
“Hey, could you please give me a check. I have been having headaches recently,” the patient said.
Throughout the morning, Wang Yao kept on receiving the patients. He didn’t even have time for lunch. Originally, he thought that he could be finished, so he hung up the wooden plate to go out to Nanshan Hill and continue planting trees. Just as he was about to leave, another patient came. He stayed busy until 4 p.m. and treated 12 in the afternoon.
When he cleaned up the room, Zhang Xiuying came in.
“Mom,” Wang Yao said.
“You are very busy today. Did you have lunch?” she asked.
“I didn’t. There were too many people to see a doctor,” Wang Yao said.
“Are you hungry?” she asked.
“Not really,” he replied.
Based on Wang Yao’s current situation, it would not be a big problem even if he did not eat anything for three days.
“I will clean up,” his mother said. “You go home and have meal.”
“You don’t have to. I’m almost finished,” Wang Yao said.
He quickly completed the cleaning and accompanied his mother home to eat.
“Are you going to plant trees on the mountain?” his mother asked.
“Yes, I am going to plant some more,” Wang Yao said.
“I can help with your dad tomorrow,” his mother said.
“You don’t have to. I can do it myself.” Wang Yao smiled. “Hey, where is Dad?”
“He went to take a bath in the hot springs,” his mother said.
Wang Yao stared blankly for a moment. “Did he go to Li Family Creek?”
“Yeah, he went with Fengde. Your uncle Lianli got some hot springs tickets and gave us a few,:” his mother said. “Your dad saw that there were time limits. Thinking that he had nothing to do today, asked some people to go with him.”
“Why didn’t he take you with him?” Wang Yao asked.
“What would I do if I went with him?” his mother asked. “I don’t care about it.”
Wang Yao did not go up the mountain. Instead, he stayed home to help his mother with some cleaning.
At 5 p.jm., Wang Fenghua returned home.
“Dad, how was the hot springs?” Wang Yao asked.
“Alright. It was a bit hot. Not as comfortable as your massage,” Wang Fenghua said.
“Oh, how about the building there?” Wang Yao asked.
“Not bad, but the tickets are a bit expensive,” Wang Fenghua said. “By the way, there is one more thing. There are a type of special insects there. People will die quickly if they were bit, and there have been already two people who have died from that.”
“Special insects?” Wang Yao immediately paid close attention. “What kind of insects?”
“I heard it from the people working there,” Wang Fenghua said. “Is it likely they are the insects we had in our village?”
“It’s hard to say it. It is also what I am worried about,” Wang Yao said.
Until now, he had not figured out why there were such strange insects on top of the mountain.
“Well, if you have a chance, check it out,” his father said.
“Don’t go there back there soon,” Wang Yao said. “If you do, you have to take that kit.”
“Your mother and I have been carrying it with us,” Wang Fenghua said.
Wang Yao had made a small kit with miasma grass for his parents. The miasma grass could deter poisonous insects. In fact, even snakes, geckos, and cockroaches could not stand the taste.
After dinner, he talked to his parents and gave them a massage.
“Don’t give your dad a massage. He has taken the bath of a hot spring.” Zhang Xiuying smiled.
In the evening, Wang Yao went up to Nanshan Hill. On the mountain, the dog sorted out the trees and placed them next to the tree pits Wang Yao had dug.
“Well, Sanxian, good job.” Wang Yao smiled and patted the dog’s head.
Woof! Woof!
“So, let’s plant trees,” Wang Yao said.
Woof!
One person and one dog began to get busy in the mountains planting trees at night. They worked quickly and soon had two long rows of trees planted. They didn’t stop until 10 p.m.
The next morning, the sun rose early. When Wang Yao went down the mountain. He saw Wen Wan and her son walking outside.
In the mountain village, there were basically trees everywhere. The air was very good there. Wen Wan was getting better. After this period of treatment, she clearly felt the changes in her body. She had become energetic and revitalized, and she was able to eat and sleep.
“Dr. Wang,” Wen Wan said.
“Out for a walk?” Wang Yao asked.
“Well, yes,” Wen Wan said.
“You look good,” Wang Yao said.
“Yes, I have feel like my body is getting much better,” she said.
The ointment for continuing life did have a magical effect, but the cost was high to treat her disease.
