Chapter 328: So Ordinary

Not many people in the village knew that Wang Yao could treat illnesses. Most of them thought that he only planted and sold medicinal herbs on the hill.

The old man was, of course, very surprised when he heard the news.

“He knows a little, just on a small scale,” Zhang Xiuying replied.

“Give Yao a call quickly. I’ll get going,” the elder said.

“Grandpa, thank you. Take these back.” Director Chen gave the box of tea in his hands to the old man as he was speaking.

“It’s okay. It’s okay!” The old man waved his hand and rejected it. He still took it in the end and left happily.

Rich people are indeed alacritous!

After he left, he forgot that Wang Yao knew how to treat illnesses in just the blink of an eye.

“Please come in.”

“Alright. Sorry to bother you.” Director Chen and the man who led him here followed Zhang Xiuying into the room.

“I’ll give him a call.” She took out her mobile phone and called Wang Yao.

“Who?” Wang Yao was startled.

He did not know that a patient was coming that day. According to his mother, the patient was here for the first time.

“Ask them to wait for me outside the medical center. I’ll come down the hill immediately.”

After hanging up, Wang Yao went down the hill. In less than three minutes, the two people waiting outside the medical center saw a young man walking toward them from the mountain road.

He was medium-sized. He wore a plain cotton T-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He was dressed in clothes that were very ordinary. When the young man got closer, they realized that he had a different style. Some people could exude an outstanding manner even though they were dressed in beggar-like clothes. Some people could still be considered scum even if they were dressed in branded clothes from head to toe.

“Are you here for someone?” Wang Yao’s question was a bit peculiar. He did not ask about the matter of receiving treatment.

“Yes. We’re here to look for a doctor called Wang Yao.”

“Who introduced you here?” Wang Yao had to first figure out this matter.

“Director Chen is from Zhu…”

“Hey, I’ll explain.” The middle-aged man interrupted the man beside him.

“Hello, Dr. Wang. I’m Chen Changfeng. I’m here because someone has mentioned you before. They said you’re good at treating headaches, so I came,” Chen Changfeng said.

“You heard it from someone?”

“Yes. Someone has looked for you to treat their headaches before. It was at Renhe Clinic.”

“Please come in.” Wang Yao opened the door.

The two of them were stunned by the plants in the small courtyard.

“The decoration of Dr. Wang’s small courtyard is exquisite,” Chen Changfeng exclaimed.

The heat had disappeared. The weather felt a bit like autumn, except that it was still a bit hot at noon and cool in the morning and night. It was the same in the courtyard. Cool breezes would blow from time to time, which made people feel very refreshed.

“You two don’t look like you have a headache.” Wang Yao had only looked at the two of them. He could tell they should not be the patients.

Anyone who had a headache normally did not rest well and looked unwell. These symptoms could be seen on the face. These two were glowing in health. It did not seem like they did not rest well.

“Oh, we’re not the patients. It’s my mother,” Chen Changfeng replied.

“Where is she?”

“She did not come today. My mother’s body isn’t in very good condition. Can you make a house call? We can discuss about the consultation fee,” Chen Changfeng answered.

“Sorry. I won’t make a house call for the time being,” Wang Yao sad.

“Then, when are you free?”

“Making a house call? That is hard for me to say,” Wang Yao replied.

“Are you usually on the hill?”

“I’m usually here,” Wang Yao replied.

“Can I please have your contact number?”

Wang Yao gave him the number of the fixed telephone installed in the medical center. He would not give away his mobile number easily to those whose backgrounds he did not know.

Chen Changfeng did not stay in the medical center for long. He only stayed for about more than 20 minutes.

After coming out of the medical center, the man who came with him hurriedly apologized. “Director Chen, I’m really sorry. I should’ve inquired about the situation here before coming.”

“It’s okay. I’ll bring my mother here some other day,” Director Chen responded.

The two of them left the small mountain village in a car.

“What? A villager brought them to our house?” Wang Yao heard his mother talking about the matter when he returned home.

“Yes. Wang Jiancai. You should call him Grandpa.”

Wang Yao remembered that he was an old man who was quite kind. He often met him on the hill. The old man did not have a huge piece of land on the hill, but he had a special hobby: fishing. He always went to the reservoir on the hill to fish.

“He found out that you know how to treat illnesses.”

“He knows?” Wang Yao was a little startled. “It’s fine. People will know sooner or later.”

After hearing the news, Wang Yao did not seem to be very shocked. He had already thought about the matter. It was impossible for him to practice medicine sneakily.

…

In a business unit in Lianshan County.

“We’ll investigate if there’s a report.”

They received a special report letter that day, which reported that someone was practicing medicine without a license in the mountain village.

It was not the first time that they had encountered such a matter. They also knew that there were some barefoot doctors in many places. However, as they called it, “the officials would not investigate if the people did not report.” They didn’t care about other people’s business or want to offend someone when no one lodged a report. Now, someone had even filed a report using their real name. Therefore, they had to handle the matter.

“I think he has offended someone.”

“When are we going?”

“Tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

The sun was quite bright early in the morning. A car came into the mountain village.

“We’re here.” Two elders in their 50s came down from the car. One was Professor Lu. The other was a woman who did not look well. Another young woman also came down from the car. She had long hair and wore a light blue dress. She was as pretty as a picture and had a unique elegance.

“Is this the place, Professor?”

“Yes, this is the place.”

“Did you design this house?” Just by a glance, the young woman could see that the building in front of her could have been designed by Professor Lu.

“Yes, I designed it,” Professor Lu replied with a smile.

“That’s rare. You seldom design buildings like this small courtyard lately,” the girl answered. “This is the style that you’re the best at. I really want to go in and have a look.”.

He knocked on the fine, wooden door. There was no response from the inside. Creak. The door was being pushed open. There was a porch and then a small courtyard that was decorated exquisitely.

“So beautiful!” The girl’s eyes lit up.

She immediately looked around.

A gust of cool breeze blew.

Wait a second!

The girl suddenly stopped. She looked at the positions of the different plants one by one again carefully and revealed a shocked look on her face.

This is? How is this possible?

“Yi,” the middle-aged woman called out lightly.

“I’m coming.” The girl had regained her senses and followed them into the room.

Wang Yao put down the book in his hands and got up to welcome them.

“Welcome, Professor Lu.”

“Sorry to bother you again, Dr. Wang.”

“Don’t say that. Please take a seat.”

Ever since the girl had entered the room, she had her gaze on the young man, who was about the same age as her. He wore a simple cotton shirt and loose sweatpants. It was an ordinary outfit.

He really did the decoration outside? He had such amazing pharmaceutical technology.

That one pill was already highly praised by her family.

“Dr. Wang, can you please take a look again?”

“Sure.”

Wang Yao had already seen this patient, Han Wan. She had kidney failure. There was no good way of treating it under the current medical conditions, unless there was a suitable kidney that could directly replace the failed kidney.

Her condition was still more or less the same as the last time she came. It was just slightly more stable.

Last time, when Professor Lu left, Wang Yao had given him three pills as a token of appreciation.

“Have you taken the medicine I’ve given you?”

“There’s still one left,” Professor Lu answered.

One of the pills was used to rescue Han Wan because she suddenly became ill when they left the village. The other one was used after returning to Hu to save her. Now, there was only one pill left, but she did not bring it with her.

After thinking for a bit, Wang Yao said, “It’ll take a long time for this illness to be treated.”

“Can you treat this illness?” Professor Lu was not the one who asked. Instead, it was the pretty girl who came with them.

Ever since she entered the room, her gaze had been on Wang Yao. She was even more surprised after seeing him checking her aunt’s pulse. After all, Chinese medicine doctors at this age who could check people’s pulse were extremely rare.

“Who’s this?”

“Ah. She’s my niece. She drove us here,” the middle-aged woman hurriedly replied.

“I can give it a try,” Wang Yao said.

It was up to him if he wanted to treat the patient. It was up to the patient to decide if she was willing to receive the treatment.

“I’m willing to receive the treatment. How long will it take?” the middle-aged woman asked.

“It’s hard to say. It’ll depend on the situation of the treatment.”

“When can I start?”

“You can start now.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

Wang Yao’s initial treatment method was simple. He used massaging techniques to massage her acupoints and dredge her blood and help her relax. He was also helping dredge her channels and collaterals. Due to her illness, her body was in poor condition. Her blood circulation was extremely poor. Illnesses could attack when blood flow was obstructed.

After a while, sweat appeared on Han Wan’s forehead.
