Chapter 360: Queueing up to Wait

“What? I have to stay for another month?” Of course, Wu Yueran was unhappy to hear this news.

His father had come, but these people actually did not give him face. However, he became calm after being angry for a short while.

This was Dao! One with great power could not defeat a local villain.

He was clear about this principle. He was the son of a rich family, but he was not a good-for-nothing man from a wealthy family who was ignorant and incompetent.

“I know, Father. It’s my mistake this time,” Wu Yueran said.

“We’ll talk after you’re released,” his father replied.

The middle-aged man left after simply saying a few words to his son.

He had seen lots of things like these. It was nothing to let his son suffer hardship, as long as he was not hurt. As for revenge, this was a matter for the future. He was unclear about the sequences of events, so he had to wait.

…

In the mountain village.

“Is Dr. Wang in?”

“He’s away,” Zhang Xiuying responded somewhat helplessly.

This was already the fourth person who had come in the past few days.

“When is he coming back?”

“I don’t know,” Zhang Xiuying replied.

“What’s his mobile number?”

“Sorry, I can’t give you that,” Zhang Xiuying said.

How could she give away her son’s mobile number to others easily?

In the past few days, she and Wang Fenghua were both a little surprised. When did their son become so famous? These people came from foreign places to have their illnesses treated. They were attracted by Wang Yao’s fame.

Judging from the situation, more and more people would come.

The medical center was still quiet. Its door was locked.

“Why hasn’t he come back yet?” Chen Changfeng sighed.

Ever since his mother had received Wang Yao’s treatment, she had become a lot better. She could now fall asleep at night and had appetite during the day. He was very happy to see that his mother’s body was getting much better. Therefore, he wanted Wang Yao to have a look at her mother’s condition again. However, he had already come twice. Dr. Wang locked his door and did not see anyone.

“When is he coming back?”

“I don’t know,” Zhang Xiuying said.

“We’ve come a long way, but we don’t even see him.” Chen Changfeng was not the only one who was waiting. There were four or five people waiting as well.

…

“Hello, Mother,” Wang Yao said. “What? They want to see me? A lot of people?”

Wang Yao was still in the car when he received the call.

Zhang Xiuying had not planned on making this call. She was not willing to disturb the lives of her son and future daughter-in-law, but there seemed to be more and more people. She had no choice but to make the call.

“I got it. I’m on the way back. I think I’ll arrive at noon. Let them wait if they’re willing to wait,” Wang Yao said.

A few cars were parked by the roadside outside the medical center. Some people got down from the car and looked around.

“What’s going on?” The villagers who passed by were startled. “Are these people here looking for Yao?”

…

In the car, Tong Wei asked with concern, “Is there something wrong at home?”

“Nothing. People are looking for me to treat their illnesses. Let them wait,” Wang Yao said.

They were halfway into their journey home. In the car, the melodious music made them feel pleasant.

“Are you preparing to be a doctor in the future?” Tong Wei asked.

“Not a doctor but a pharmacist,” Wang Yao replied.

“What’s the difference between the two?”

“Umm… To put it simply, most doctors know how to treat illnesses, but they don’t know how to make drugs. On the other hand, a pharmacist can treat illnesses and make drugs. A prominent pharmacist can cure all illnesses,” Wang Yao explained.

“So awesome!” Tong Wei said. “What’s your level now?”

“Now?” Wang Yao looked at the road in front of him. “I’m just getting started.”

“Just getting started?” Tong Wei was shocked.

She and Wang Yao had spent a lot of time together recently. She had also met a few people familiar with Wang Yao. It could be seen through the attitude of these people toward him that his pharmaceutical technology was excellent. Otherwise, people like Sun Zhengrong would not treat a young man so courteously.

“You’re pretty modest, huh?” Tong Wei teased.

“It’s true.” With the passing of time and a deep understanding towards the system, Wang Yao knew that he still had a lot of things to learn. He really was just getting started. Curing all kinds of illnesses was an impossible goal in the short term. He still had a long road ahead.

After returning to Lianshan County, Wang Yao did not drive Tong Wei home. Instead, he went straight home.

The people who waited outside the medical center were already a little impatient. If it had been any other place, he would already be cursed at.

“Dr. Wang, you’re finally back!”

The other people did not know Wang Yao, but Chen Changfeng knew him.

“Hello, Mr. Chen. Sorry for the long wait, everyone,” Wang Yao said to the crowd with a smile.

“It’s fine as long as you’re back.”

“Yeah. We came a long way.” Wang Yao opened the door and started to treat the patients.

“You’re recovering quite well. I’ll prescribe you another medicine. Continue to consume it for a treatment process to consolidate the effects of the treatment.”

Wang Yao prescribed Chen Changfeng’s mother another medicine.

“Is this medicine different from the one last time?”

One costed tens of thousands and the other costed only a few hundred yuan. The difference was too much.

“Yes. The medicine last time was top-grade and difficult to be decocted. You can decoct the medicine this time yourself. It’s also effective.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

After Chen Changfeng left, the rest of the people were there for the first time. They were all from the neighboring counties.

“Headache?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes. I feel groggy and unwell when I wake up.” This was a man in his 30s who looked a little haggard.

“Do you have a habit of washing your hair at night and go to bed without drying your hair lately?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

“Your body doesn’t have a problem. You just have to change this habit,” Wang Yao said.

“Really?” The person was startled. He had looked for the old Chinese medicine doctors before. They had prescribed him some medicine, but it was not effective.

“Yes. Stop taking the Chinese medicine now too,” Wang Yao said.

“Okay. Thank you.”

The second person was an old man in his 50s. He was also suffering from headaches.

“The cold has entered your head,” Wang Yao stated matter-of-factly.

“Huh?”

“I’ll give you a treatment,” Wang Yao said.

He spurred his neixi and used the massaging techniques to treat the man, who only felt that his head was warm but was relaxed. He felt like sleeping.

The treatment ended after about 10 minutes.

“I’ll prescribe you a medicine. Be careful in your daily life. Keep your head warm when you sleep,” Wang Yao said.

He wrote the formula, filled the prescription, and wrapped up the herbs himself.

The third person was also suffering from headaches. She was an old woman who was probably in her 70s. Her daughter came with her.

This?

Wang Yao was startled after checking her pulse.

“Didn’t you go to a standard hospital for an examination?” Wang Yao asked.

“No.”

“You should go to the standard hospitals to have a checkup,” Wang Yao said.

“What illness does my mother have?” The younger lady knew there was a problem.

“Go to the hospital to have a checkup.” Wang Yao said.

Wang Yao cordially saw them off. The cause of her headache was not in her head. It was in her stomach. The old woman had a tumor and it was already in the terminal stage.

He sighed a little. Then, he continued to treat the remaining patients.

“Your cold causes lung inflammation,” Wang Yao said.

“What should I do?”

“You can go to the hospital or a clinic for a drip injection,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

Why did he come here for such an illness?

“Ah. Thank you. I know of this place from someone else, so I dropped by for you to have a look,” the ill, middle-aged man said.

“It’s okay.” Wang Yao waved his hand as he smiled. He did not know what to say about these people.

Tong Wei was by his side. She brewed him some tea and helped him wrap up the medicinal herbs. As she saw Wang Yao treating the patients one by one, she became more and more aware that this man had a unique charm.

Just like that, the people who came were all diagnosed by around 4 p.m.

Wang Yao got up and moved his body a little to relax.

“What do you think?” he asked Tong Wei, who was by the side.

“It’s quite good,” Tong Wei replied. “When are you going to teach me your abilities?”

“Anytime,” he said.

“I’m just waiting for the word.” Tong Wei smiled and fed him a grape. “Chinese medicine, no. What does a pharmacist have to learn?”

“Medical theory, pharmacy, the human channels and collaterals, yin yang and the five elements…”

“Stop,” Tong Wei interrupted him. “How long did it take you to learn all these?”

“Umm, less than a year.” Wang Yao thought carefully.

Shocked, Tong Wei replied, “Less than a year? How is that possible? You’re lying right?”

“Ha, ha. The gods taught me this ability of mine.” Wang Yao smiled while pointing above his head.

“Go ahead and boast,” she said.

They heard the villagers talking about when they were preparing to return home to have dinner.

“Hey, why did so many people go to Fenghua’s son’s house?”

“I heard that they went to have their illnesses treated!”

“Have their illnesses treated? When did Yao become a doctor?”

“How do I know?”

This matter could not be covered up anymore. Fortunately, the timing was just right. It was neither too early nor too late.

“Yao.”

“Uncle.”

“Do you know how to treat illnesses?”

“A little,” Wang Yao said.

“Can you take a look if I feel unwell?”

“No problem,” Wang Yao replied.

His mother had already prepared dinner when they returned home.

“Come, Tong Wei, take a seat. You’re tired, right?”

“I’m okay,” Tong Wei responded.

“The villagers all know that you know how to treat illnesses, right?” his mother asked.

“Yeah. It doesn’t matter. It’s impossible to cover it up forever,” Wang Yao said.

Tong Wei did not stay after dinner because her mother suddenly felt unwell. She was in a hurry to go back. Wang Yao followed her back. After arriving at her house, Wang Yao immediately gave her mother a diagnosis.

“Aunty, did you eat seafood at night?” he asked.

“Yes. I ate some big prawns,” she replied.

“The prawns have a problem.” Wang Yao gave her a simple treatment and took out a Nine Herbs pill.

Although the pill could not remove the toxins immediately, it had a huge effect on the recovery of her body.

Tong Wei’s mother felt much better after the treatment, but her family was still not at ease. She was sent to the hospital to be hospitalized and have her condition observed. Instead of going home, Wang Yao stayed at Tong Wei’s house.
