“What do you keep nagging about?” His wife asked as she came out from the room.

“It’s nothing,” Mr. Chen said. “Someone paid a visit, but I didn’t want to meet him.”

“You still met him even though you didn’t want to?” his wife asked.

“Do you think I can avoid him as long as I want?” Mr. Chen had some anger in his tone.

“Why did you recommend him to Dr. Wang?” his wife asked.

“I don’t like him, but his father is not a bad man, so I still need to help him if I can,” Mr. Chen said.

…

In the village…

“So many people!” Seeing the cars parked outside of the clinic, Gu Yuanyuan was amazed. It had not been this busy the last time she had been there.

Pan Jun, who was helping in the clinic, was also surprised by the amount of patients.

“Stretch your legs to do some activities,” he said to the patient he was helping.

Two patients had complained about problems in the neck and lower back, which could be relieved and treated by massage. Since that was wat Pan Jun had been practicing recently, so he could cure these two patients.

“Who are you?” one of the patients asked.

“Hmmm, I am his disciple,” Pan Jun said.

“Why don’t I usually see you?” the patient asked.

“Ah, are you Director Pan from the Emergency Department of the County Hospital?” another patient asked.

“What? Director in the County Hospital?” The patients waiting were all surprised.

Although they knew Wang Yao’s medical skills were superb, they still thought the reason he operated his clinic in the village was that he was declined by the formal medical units. In most people’s views, running a clinic outside the system was not as professional and less reliable than working in a formal hospital, which had the support of the government and no risk of unemployment.

“It is me,” Pan Jun said.

“Are you an apprentice of Dr. Wang?” a patient asked.

“Yeah, my master is very skillful, so he does not want to teach ungifted ones,” Pan Jun said. What he said was the truth. Wang Yao did not really want to teach common ones.

Hearing their dialogue, Wang Yao just smiled silently.

The people waiting were quite amazed. For a rural medical practitioner to teach a director of a county hospital department, his medical skills had to be superb.

“Awesome!”

With the help of Pan Jun, Wang Yao treated them all quickly. Those who originally casted doubt on Pan Jun were willing to accept his treatment after knowing his identity. Plus, his treatment was effective. His two patients felt better all over after seeing him..

“Ah, as a doctor from the County Hospital, you are so professional,” one of the patients said.

When Gu Yuanyuan came into the clinic, Wang Yao was busy. So, she waited in line.

“What a beautiful girl!” The eyes of the other people waiting in line immediately brightened after seeing Gu Yuanyuan.

Her beauty and attracted attention no matter where she went. She was like the style of southern riverside towns, very graceful and restrained. The more one looked at her, the more beautiful one felt she was.

“Lady, how should I address you?” A young man accompanying his mother to see the doctor politely asked.

Gu Yuanyuan smiled a little.

Ah, so beautiful! Her smile made the young man feel itching in his heart like he was being scratched by a cat. She is so beautiful, I have to do something!

He talked about something casually next to her to introduce himself, but she did not respond.

“It is your turn,” Wang Yao said.

The young man went forward alongside his mother to see the doctor. Gu Yuanyuan sat and waited quietly.

After they finished, the man accompanying his mother asked for her phone number.

“Sorry, I am married,” Gu Yuanyuan said.

“Oh, it is too late.” The young man was dragged away by his mother.

“Sir, how are you?” Gu Yuanyuan greeted Wang Yao.

“When did you marry? Congratulations,” Wang Yao said.

“Actually, not yet. I plan to marry around Oct. 1,” Gu Yuanyuan said.

Wang Yao smiled.

“Sorry to disturb you,” she said. “But, Mr. Wu’s disease is deteriorating.”

She had come for medicine.

“Still deteriorating?” Wang Yao thought for a moment and said, “Come get the medicine tomorrow.”

“OK, thanks.” Gu Yuanyuan presented him some small gifts and left.

Although she had left, waiting patients were still talking about her.

“That girl is so beautiful!” one of the said.

“Yeah!” another patient agreed.

“Dr. Wang, where does that girl come from?” a patient asked.

“Jing,” Wang Yao straightforwardly said.

They naturally did not trust him. Since Wang Yao had said it like that, they didn’t ask more. After all, they were there to see the doctor. It was generally not advisable to argue with the attending doctor.

In the evening, Wang Yao decocted a potion for Mr. Wu. It was the regather soup.

There were two aspects to Mr. Wu’s disease. On one hand, the body itself had some malicious diseases. On the other hand, he was over 80 years old. His body was already decrepit, but he tried hard to hold on. Since he held a very high position, various medications were available to him. If he was from a common family, he would have already died.

The night air was oppressive. The next morning, it was still a bit hot.

Gu Yuanyuan came to the clinic early. She took the potion Wang Yao had prepared, paid, and left.

Later in the morning, Wang Yao accepted a special patient. The man was over 50 and had some heart problems. He was accompanied by his son, a dandified young man with dazzling slicked-back hair and some special fragrance on his body.

Wang Yao checked over the patient, but he couldn’t help noticing the young man. He was very impatient and even had a little disgust in his eyes.

“Where do you feel uncomfortable?” Wang Yao asked the patient.

“I have chest pain, and I also feel uncomfortable on the other parts of the body,” the man said.

“How long has it been?” Wang Yao asked.

“Maybe more than one month,” the man replied.

“More than one month?” Wang Yao took the man’s pulse and instantly knew he had serious heart disease. “You have serious heart disease, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I take medicine,” the man said. “Now, along with the chest pain, I also feel like my chest is tight. I have no strength and sometimes get seriously dizzy, but I have kept taking the medicine.”

“Doctor, can you hurry up,” the you man said impatiently.

“Who are you to him?” Wang Yao asked.

“I am his son,” the young man bitterly replied.

“As for your disease, the treatment you need will take long time,” Wang Yao said. “Medicine is only a part of it. The key is to not be worried or angry. You need to take a good rest to recuperate.”

Patients with this disease could not engage in laborious work or drastic emotional changes.

“Would you please give me a check, doctor?” the middle-aged man asked.

In fact, he had initially not been willing to come there. He was even more unwilling to be accompanied by his son. He eventually failed to persuade his wife, so he came and got angry again on the way to the clinic.

“OK.” Wang Yao checked him over. Since he had treated heart disease in the past, he had some experience in the field and some medicine on-hand.
