  “Why do you stand over there?” asked Wang Yao.

  “I didn’t want to disrupt you,” said Chen Ying with a smile. But the way she looked at Wang Yao was completely different.

  “Thank you,” said Wang Yao.

  “I really admire you!” said Chen Ying after walking closer.

  “Admire me for what?” asked Wang Yao with a smile.

  Wang Yao was so young, and he had already become an extraordinary doctor. Only this was impressive enough. He had also achieved so much in Kung Fu which was absolutely remarkable. Chen Ying was also good at Kung Fu. She could see that Wang Yao was on his way to becoming a Kung Fu guru after witnessing him practicing Chinese boxing. Having such achievements at such a young age was really rare. Even though he had started to practice Kung Fu since he was born, it would be remarkable for him to reach his current level.

  His gift must be granted by God!

  Chen Ying thought about what Wang Yao used to say.

  She couldn’t find other reasonable explanations for Wang Yao’s achievement.

  “I admire your extraordinary medical skills and Kung Fu skills!” praised Chen Ying from the bottom of her heart.

  Wang Yao smiled.

  They stayed on the Great Wall for a long time. By the time they returned to the cottage, it was 11 pm.

  “Good night,” said Wang Yao.

  “Good night,” said Chen Ying.

  Wang Yao got up very early the next morning. Chen Ying got up even earlier. She was preparing breakfast for Wang Yao.

  Wang Yao practiced Chinese boxing in the front yard for a while. As he had a better understanding of Chinese boxing while he was on the Great Wall under the moon last night, his skills of Chinese boxing had improved. He felt different while practicing Chinese boxing this morning compared to yesterday. It only took him one day to make significant progress.

  After he had finished practicing Chinese boxing and breakfast, he went to Su Xiaoxue’s home. Song Ruiping had been waiting for him.

  “I fed her the two decoctions you gave me last night, and she slept for a while,” said Song Ruiping.

  “I see. The purpose of the two decoctions is to make her rest well,” said Wang Yao.

  He found Su Xiaoxue was looking at him after he entered her room.

  “Hello, here I am again,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

  Hello, good to see you, please sit down, thought Su Xiaoxue, but she couldn’t speak it out.

  Wang Yao seemed to be able to read Su Xiaoxue’s mind. He sat in front of her bed and started to check her pulse. According to her pulse, Su Xiaoxue had gotten better after she had taken several decoctions Wang Yao brought for her and a whole night’s rest. But no significant improvement was detected.

  The only way to make a shabby old house continue to stand in the wind was to rebuild it.

  “Her condition is stable. There won’t be any change in a short period of time,” said Wang Yao to Su Xiaoxue’s mother.

  “Good, thank you,” said Song Ruiping.

  “Take care,” said Wang Yao.

  Okay. Su Xiaoxue blinked her eyes.

  Wang Yao smiled back and then left the room.

  “Dr. Wang, please wait.” Song Ruiping followed Wang Yao out of the room. “I heard you are leaving today. I really appreciate your help. You saved Xiaoxue’s life. I have a present for you. Although it is not enough to express my gratitude, I hope you will accept it.”


  Song Ruiping had already prepared presents for Wang Yao, but she didn’t know what Wang Yao liked. She asked Chen Boyuan to find out what Wang Yao was interested in. Eventually, she knew Wang Yao was only interested in tea and medicine related antiques. Therefore, she prepared several packs of famous tea for Wang Yao.

  “Well,” Wang Yao hesitated a bit, “thank you.”


  Chen Ying drove Wang Yao back to the cottage to pack up. As Wang Yao was going to leave the cottage, Guo Sirou came along with a few items in her hands.

  “I know you like tea. I grabbed some from grandpa,” said Guo Sirou.

  “Thank you.” Wang Yao took the tea with a smile. Those teas could last for a long time.

  “By the way, this is for you, too.” Guo Sirou handed a package to Wang Yao.

  “What is it?” Wang Yao opened the package and found it was an antique book. He went through a few pages and was thrilled.

  “Thank you so much for this!” said Wang Yao.

  “I know you’ll like it,” said Guo Sirou.

  The book Guo Sirou gave Wang Yao was an antique medical book. Precisely to say, it contained notes and experiences from an ancient Chinese Medical practitioner. The way the author documented each medical case was similar to Wang Yao’s. Wang Yao also knew the author, who was a famous doctor practicing in Zhe Jiang and Jiang Su during the late Qing Dynasty.

  “When will you come back to Beijing?” asked Guo Sirou.

  “I will see, shouldn’t take too long before I come back,” said Wang Yao.

  “Okay, I can give you a lift to the airport,” said Guo Sirou.

  “Great, thanks,” said Wang Yao.

  Wang Yao was going to buy some famous local food in Beijing before leaving. He wanted to buy Pecking duck for his family to taste, but he found that Guo Sirou had already bought it for him. He had to say that Miss Guo was very considerate.

  Guo Sirou then went to pick up his aunt and her family. It was Wang Yao’s first time meeting his cousin, who was very tall and thin with long hair. As for her looks, Wang Yao didn’t want to comment.

  Guo Sirou drove all of them to the airport. She didn’t leave until they have arrived at the airport lounge.

  “Yao, is she your friend?” asked Zhang Xiufang curiously, as people often had a deep impression of Guo Sirou when they first met her. After all, she’s very pretty.

  “Yes,” said Wang Yao.

  “She’s so pretty,” said Zhang Xiufang.

  Wang Yao just smiled.

  Before boarding the airplane, Wang Yao called Wang Mingbao who was in Lianshan County to pick up him and his family up at Haiqu airport. After all, the four of them brought a lot of luggage this time; it was not convenient for them to take the bus. Wang Mingbao agreed without hesitation.

  The airplane took off and flew into the clouds.

  Wang Yao sat next to the window and looked at the city which became smaller and smaller.

  His first trip to Beijing had ended.

  For now, he was not in any trouble.

  I’m not sure if my next trip to Beijing will be as smooth as this one.

  Chen Ying had booked first class tickets for Wang Yao and his aunt’s family. There were not many passengers going to Haiqu, so less than half of the first class seats were filled. His aunt’s husband talked to his cousin from time to time. His cousin was a spoiled girl, who had never been unjustly treated.

  “Yao, will you visit Beijing again?” asked Zhang Xiufang.

  “Yes,” replied Wang Yao.

  “When?” asked Zhang Xiufang.

  “After Labor Day holiday. I’m not sure about the exact time yet,” said Wang Yao.

  In less than two hours, the airplane landed at the new Haiqu airport. Wang Mingbao had been waiting at the exit.

  “Hey, you are finally back!” said Wang Mingbao as soon as he saw Wang Yao.

  Wang Yao didn’t ask Wang Mingbao why he said that. He introduced his aunt and her family to Wang Mingbao.

  After they all got into the car, Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao started to chat.

  “You know what, I really got fed up with Wei Hai. You’ve just been away for a few days, but he came to my place twice a day asking when you will come back,” said Wang Mingbao.

  “Why didn’t he call me?” said Wang Yao with a smile.

  “Maybe he didn’t want to annoy you,” said Wang Mingbao.

  “I see. Let him know I’m back,” said Wang Yao.

  “Okay, where do you want to go now?” asked Wang Mingbao.

  “Li Family creek,” said Wang Yao.

  The car was running fast on the road.

  “How was everything going in Beijing? Was it a rewarding trip?” asked Wang Mingbao.

  “It was rewarding to some extent,” said Wang Yao after thinking for a moment.

  “Did you come across any trouble?” asked Wang Mingbao.

  “Not really,” replied Wang Yao.

  “Good!” said Wang Mingbao with a smile.

  “I need to visit Beijing again in the near future,” said Wang Yao.

  “Again?” asked Wang Mingbao.

  “Yes, I have unfinished business there. I need to go back,” said Wang Yao.

  “I thought you don’t like going to Beijing,” said Wang Mingbao.

  “I have to finish what I’ve started,” said Wang Yao.

  After over an hour, they arrived at the hometown of Wang Yao’s aunt’s husband.

  “Yao, stay here for dinner,” said his aunt.

  “Thank you, but no. I’ll leave you to have a good rest. I should go home now. Call me if you need me,” said Wang Yao.

  “Okay,” said Zhang Xiufang.

  About half an hour later, Wang Yao and Wang Mingbao arrived at the village.

  Wang Yao went home straight away. His mother was cooking lunch.

  “You are back!” Zhang Xiuying stopped what she was doing and hugged her son. “How was Beijing? Was everything going alright?”


  “Everything was fine. Where is Dad?” asked Wang Yao.

  “He is still on Nanshan hill,” said Zhang Xiuying. “He had spent a lot of time on Nanshan hill in the last few days. I think he really loves staying there. He doesn’t even want to come home for dinner. He said it is so comfortable to stay on the hill.”


  Wang Yao just smiled. He knew it was because of the Spirit Gathering Array. It was more comfortable to stay on the hill than anywhere else. One could breathe smoother, have a better mood, and sleep better at night.

  “Wash your face and take a rest. Lunch is ready soon,” said Zhang Xiuying.

  “Okay. By the way, Auntie and her family also came back,” said Wang Yao.

  “They are back? Where have they gone? Li Family creek?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

  “Yes,” replied Wang Yao.

  Zhang Xiuying had finished cooking several dishes. Wang Yao placed a plate of roasted Pecking duck on the table.

  “What is this?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

  “Roasted duck from Beijing. I brought one for you to taste,” said Wang Yao.

  Lunch was ready, but Wang Yao’s father still hadn’t come home.

  “Don’t wait for him. Let’s eat,” said Zhang Xiuying.

  “No rush, just wait for a while,” said Wang Yao.

  Wang Fenghua came back with a cigarette in his mouth a few minutes later. He walked into the house slowly and looked pleasant.

  “Hi, Dad!” said Wang Yao.

  “Hi, you are back. Was everything going well in Beijing?” asked Wang Fenghua?

  “Yes,” said Wang Yao.

  “Have you cured your patient?” asked Wang Fenghua.

  “No, I just managed to keep her alive. I need to go to Beijing again after some time,” said Wang Yao.

  “Again?!” said Zhang Xiuying in surprise.

  “Yes, she is still very ill. I need to continue to treat her,” said Wang Yao.

  “I see, let’s have lunch,” said Zhang Xiuying.

  Wang Yao poured a glass of wine for his father and had lunch together with his family happily.

  Wang Yao returned to Nanshan hill after lunch. He could see Nanshan hill from a distance. The trees on the hill were growing very well.

  Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian ran from the top of the hill towards Wang Yao happily. He ran around Wang Yao barking excitedly and wagged its tail.

  “Hi, San Xian, is everything going well on the hill?” asked Wang Yao.

  Woof! Woof! Woof!

  Screech! A loud sound came from the sky, and an eagle dived towards Wang Yao. Then he circled repeatedly on top of Wang Yao as if he was welcoming Wang Yao’s return.

  “Hi, Da Xia!” said Wang Yao.

  Screech!

  The trees, plants, and herbs were all growing very well on Nanshan hill. It was green all over Nanshan hill.

  “Well, it’s more comfortable to stay here!” murmured Wang Yao.

  Wang Yao didn’t rush back to his cottage. Instead, he walked around Nanshan hill for a while and checked his licorice roots thoroughly. After he had made sure all the herbs were fine, he returned to his cottage and made himself a cup of green tea. He then took out Natural Classics out to read. It was windy outside the cottage. San Xian was lying under the window of the cottage and listening to Wang Yao. His eyes were bright.
