It was nearly 5 p.m. when Zhou Wuyi and Zhou Xiong left the clinic and drove back to Lianshan. It was completely dark.

“Uncle, can you believe how outstanding Doctor Wang’s achievement are?” Zhou Xiong asked.

“It’s hard to say it. But, it’s the first time that I’ve known someone with achievements of such magnitude, especially since I’ve been to so many places,” Zhou Wuyi replied.

“How old is he?” Zhou Xiong sighed.

“There are many intelligent people born with sensibility. Therefore, there is no certain sequence in learning. Only brilliant learners can be masters,” Zhou Wuyi replied.

…

The next day, it was cold and dry. It was a fortunate hour in a lucky day. Firecrackers went off for a while.

Sun Yunsheng moved into his new house. There were not many people visiting because it was not his hometown.

Sun Zhengrong was still abroad to handle his business. Only Sun Yunsheng, uncle Lin, and three other people turned up—two men and one woman to be precise. They meant to take care of him in his daily life and also ensure his security.

Some villagers also joined in the fun to look at the new house.

How beautiful and splendid it was! They all sighed. It was their first time to see that a house in the country could be so nice.

How much did it cost? It would turn into another gossip topic of the villagers before or after a meal.

Wang Yao stayed to have lunch with them. The cook, a women in her 30s, had excellent cooking skills. She prepared authentic Shandong cuisine, which tasted refreshing. One bite of her food could tell a person she was not a generic cook.

“Is it good?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Very tasty,” Wang Yao praised.

“That’s good then,” Sun Yunsheng said and smiled. “I might trouble you in future.”

“Not at all,” Wang Yao replied. How could it be troublesome if it was no more than treatment? It was more convenient and good to his recovery. “I’ll go up to Jing in a few days.”

“To treat lady Su?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Yes, I’ll make up your prescription then,” Wang Yao said. “You have to take it on a regular base.”

“I will,” the young man promised.

Wang Yao went to the clinic after the meal. Two arrived at dusk. Both of them were men near 30. They had pale faces and walked without energy. They were not locals.

“Hello, are you Doctor Wang?” one of the men asked.

“Yes, I am. Have a seat, please,” Wang Yao replied.

They sat down and began to tell him why they had come. They were brothers and who needed treatment for a strange disease. They both suffered from profuse sweating.

“When and where do you sweat easily?” Wang Yao asked.

“When I’m nervous or after a bit exertion,” one of the brothers replied.

Their symptoms were almost the same. Wang Yao felt their pulses.

“You both suffer from different diseases,” he said based on his diagnosis.

“Different?” The brothers were surprised.

“The reason why you sweat easily is that your constitution is weak,” Wang Yao said to the brothers.

He looked at one of the brothers and asked, “Do you usually have a cold?”

“Ah, yes. You’re right,” the brother replied.

“Then your treatment is comparatively easy,” Wang Yao said. “You will be better and could raise your body temperature if you eat properly and incorporate exercise into your daily life. ”

The constitution of his body was weak, which was due to his weak physical base. Therefore, he needed proper supplement. His symptoms would be reduced and completely vanish when his vitality rose.

“And you?” Wang Yao looked at the other brother. In addition to a pale face, the man had deep eye bags. “I guess you know the reason.”

“I… How could I know that?” The slightly taller man heard what he said and did not look at Wang Yao’s eyes, which obviously showed his guilty conscience.

“You will recover from your disease even without my diagnosis,” Wang Yao said. “You will be better as long as you correct. Otherwise, you will be worse and worse.”

“Doctor Wang, what’s that?” the other brother asked hurriedly.

“Too much sex,” Wang Yao said indifferently.

Wang Yao could tell at the first sight of the man. He was only 30 but severely suffered from kidney-yang deficiency. This indicated that he wasted too much of his vigor on women. He would hurt his body base if he continued. Then, it would be too late for regrets. As for this kind of man, who was careless with his own body, Wang Yao did not want to treat him.

After hearing Wang Yao’s remarks, the man appeared embarrassed.

“Where are you from?” Wang Yao asked the other brother.

“We’re from Dao,” he replied

Wang Yao was shocked. “Why did you come here to see a doctor?”

“We have a relative living here, so we paid him a visit,” the brother said. “We heard about you while we were chatting. We were told how outstanding your medical skills were, so we wanted to try our luck,” the brother said.

The expressions in his eyes were pure and looked virtuous and sincere.

“This is your prescription,” Wang Yao said. “Get it filled when you’re back. I will also write how to use it on it.”

Antler, astragalus, codonopsis pilosula, matrimony vine, licorice… The prescription was not complicated. He simply had to make a few changes in his regather soup. Luckily, they were all common herbs.

“Thanks,” the brother said as he took the prescription.

“What about me?” the other brother asked.

“Like what I said, you can treat yourself,” Wang Yao replied.

“Please make up a prescription for me. I’ll pay for it,” the man pleaded.

“It’s late. You’d better go back.” Wang Yao shook his hand to send them out.

“But…” The man didn’t get his words out.

“Go,” Wang Yao said.

The other brother paid and left.

After they were out of the clinic, he asked his younger brother, “When did you get that problem?”

He did not know that his unmarried younger brother was so active. He had been a strong man. It now made sense why he had become thinner and thinner.

“You’ll know when you get married,” the younger brother angrily said.

“Why not marry a girl?” his brother asked.

“But, how? We are so poor, I can’t even afford a house?” the younger brother replied.

“I did not have a house either when I married, but it did not affect my life,” his brother said.

“Your life? How tired your life is?” the younger brother asked.

“You must have a family, no matter how tired you are,” his older brother said. “Forget it. I don’t want to quarrel with you. Just be careful. Don’t ruin your body.”

“I know that clearly now,” the younger brother replied.

…

In the deep winter, it was getting colder. Sun Yunsheng went to Wang Yao’s clinic almost every day to receive massage and acupuncture treatments. He began to recover more and more quickly. Based on this trend, Wang Yao estimated that he could eradicate the toxins of Yang energy inside his body in less than 10 days.

Apart from treating Sun Yunsheng, Wang Yao also went to visit the relative of Pan Jun. He treated him using his varied skills, including inserting needles, neixi, and massage round by round.

The treatment efficacy was rather obvious. The old man could move his arms and legs. Though the movements were still a bit sluggish and unnatural, his recovery was clear.

“Ah, I appreciate it, Doctor Wang.” The aged couple expressed their appreciation to Wang Yao more than one time.

Wang Yao smiled at them.

“Ah, your medical skills are outstanding,” Pan Jun sighed.

He had engaged in medicine for more than 10 years, seeing numerous patients and experts. Wang Yao was definitely a talent among them. His medical skills were remarkable, even though he was so young. He could even cure the patients who suffered from paralysis.

What a miracle! How great it would be if his medical skills could be generalized.

“Doctor Wang, I have something to ask you,” Pan Jun said.

“Go ahead,” Wang Yao replied.

“Would you want an apprentice?” he asked.

“An apprentice, what do you mean?” Wang Yao was shocked.

“To learn medicine from you,” Pan Jun said.

“Learning medicine… I’ve never thought about it. Why?” Wang Yao asked.

“To be honest, I want to learn from you,” Pan Jun said.

“You?” Wang Yao was shocked.

“Yes, I can tell you that I’m serious. This is not a whim,” Pan Jun replied seriously.

He had thought about it awhile. Before they knew each other so well, he had felt he would be refused. As they gradually became closer and they knew each other better, he thought it was time to speak out.

“But, you learned Western medicine,” Wang Yao replied.

“Yeah, clinical medicine,” Pan Jun said.
