  It was past 1 p.m. after Zhou Wuyi and Zhou Xiong had left.

  “Do you have a lot of patients today?” Zhang Xiuying asked during lunch.

  “Yes, quite a few,” Wang Yao replied.

  “I went out this morning and saw quite a few cars parking outside your clinic,” Zhang Xiuying said.

  “Yes. By the way, have any of the patents come here?” Wang Yao was still worried that his patients or their family members would come to his house to disrupt his parents. In fact, no one had come to his house since he had stuck the notice on the clinic door.

  “No,” Zhang Xiuying said.

  “Good,” Wang Yao replied.

  He chatted with his parents for a while after lunch. As he was about to leave, Wang Ru came home with Du Mingyang carrying a lot of stuff.

  “Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Wang. Good afternoon, Yao,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Hello, please come in. You don’t need to bring so much stuff here every time.” Zhang Xiuying pretended to get crossed, but she was actually very happy.

  “Okay, ma’am, I just bought some food, which doesn’t cost much,” Du Mingyang said. He had a glib tongue, so he quickly changed the topic.

  “Have you two had lunch?” Wang Yao asked.

  “Yes,” Du Mingyang said.

  Wang Yao made them a pot of tea. He then chatted with them for a while.

  “I have to go the clinic now,” Wang Yao said. He would have patients in the afternoon.

  “Okay, off you go,” Wang Ru said.

  Wang Yao left for his clinic.

  “Has Yao been busy lately?” Du Mingyang asked.

  “Not really. But, since it is the weekend, more people are available,” Zhang Xiuying said with a smile.

  Wang Yao bumped into Sun Yunsheng and Mr. Lin on his way to the clinic.

  “Hello, Dr. Wang,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  “Hello.” Wang Yao greeted him with a smile. “How is the work on the house going?”


  “We’ve completed the decorations and plan to pick a good day to move in,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  “Oh, don’t forgot to tell me when you move. I’ll heat the sleeping platform for you,” Wang Yao said.

  According to the custom of the village, moving into house was a big event. The villagers would pick a good day to move. Relatives and friends would help with the move and celebrate with the owner of the house. They would heat the adobe sleeping platform in the new house.

  “Sure, I’ll let you know,” Sun Yunsheng replied.

  “Let’s go to the clinic. It’s quite cold outside,” Wang Yao said.

  The three of them went to the clinic. Wang Yao took a look at Sun Yunsheng and then started the treatment.

  He increased the dose of the decoction to enhance its effect and duration. The decoction’s effect could now go all the way into Sun Yunsheng’ organs. Wang Yao then transferred some Qi into Sun Yunsheng’s body after absorbing the toxins out of his body. The treatment was effective.

  Sun Yunsheng’s upper body was naked. His back was half red and half a normal color. There was not much Yang toxin left in his body. The residual Yang toxin was deep in his organs. His body had been fixed by Wang Yao’s Qi. The damaged corporeity had been recovering slowly.

  He’s going to fully recover soon. Wang Yao thought it wouldn’t take long for Sun Yunsheng to fully recover.

  Mr. Lin was amazed by Wang Yao’s treatment method.

  How powerful has he become? Mr. Lin wondered.

  “I feel particularly comfortable after each treatment session here,” Sun Yunsheng said after Wang Yao finished the treatment.

  “That’s normal. The Yang toxin inside your body is diminishing rapidly,” Wang Yao said.

  “Can I ask a question, Dr. Wang? Do you practice Kung Fu?” Mr. Lin asked.

  “Yes, sometimes,” Wang Yao replied.

  “May I ask what style of Chinese boxing you practice?” Mr. Lin asked.

  “Hmm. I practice a mix of different styles,” Wang Yao said after thinking for a moment. He was going to say Tai Chi, but he had actually been practicing the Chinese boxing described in Quanjing given by Zhou Xiong.

  “Do you take any students?” Mr. Lin asked.

  “Oh, no, not at the moment,” Wang Yao replied with surprise. He didn’t expect such a question from Mr. Lin.

  “I see. Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked,” Mr. Lin said.

  “It is fine,” Wang Yao said.

  Sun Yunsheng and Mr. Lin left the clinic.

  “Uncle Lin, I remember you asked him if he practiced Kung Fu last time. Why did you ask him again?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

  “I remembered you said you wanted to learn Kung Fu from me,” Mr. Lin said.

  “But, I’ve always practiced Kung Fu with you. I only stopped it because of this horrible illness. I’ve started to practice Kung Fu again,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  “If Dr. Wang is happy to take students, you should try to learn from him,” Mr. Lin said.

  “Learn from him? Why?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

  “He said your fundamental health had been damaged, right?” Mr. Lin asked.

  “Yes, he said it to my father,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  “Once a person’s fundamental health has been damaged, it is extremely hard to recover. I think Dr. Wang’s Kung Fu skill is profound. Even I am nowhere near his level. I also noticed that the way he treated you is based on Taoism. Taoist Kung Fu style is the most pure and impartial. If you could learn to practice it, you could possibly repair the damaged fundamental health yourself,” Mr. Lin said.

  “I do want to learn, but he doesn’t seem to randomly take students,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  “Of course. No one would pass such profound Kung Fu skill onto other people randomly. Anyway, you are going to stay in this village for some time. Take this chance to establish a good relationship with Dr. Wang. Your father will provide financial support if necessary. Don’t worry about anything else, and don’t ask unnecessary questions,” Mr. Lin said.

  “Okay, you are right,” Sun Yunsheng said.

  Wang Yao completed all the notes for his patients. It was starting to get dark outside. Suddenly, he heard the door open. Someone was entering his clinic.

  “Look, the courtyard is very nice,” a man said.

  It was Du Mingyang’s first visit to Wang Yao’s clinic. He was amazed by the uniqueness of the courtyard.

  “Look, grapes! Not all the leaves have dropped,” Du Mingyang said.

  He didn’t see much sense of a courtyard in the winter. But, the small yard was green and lively.

  “Sis, what brings you guys here?” Wang Yao asked.

  “He wanted to come to have a look.” Wang Ru pointed at Du Mingyang, who was looking around.

  “Please come in,” Wang Yao said.

  “I’ll go inside later. I want to have a good look at the yard,” Du Mingyang said.

  Du Mingyang walked around the courtyard with Wang Ru. Then, the two of them went inside. Wang Yao had made them a pot of tea.

  “Help yourself to some tea,” Wang Yao said.

  “Thank you,” Du Mingyang replied. “By the way, who designed the courtyard for you?”


  “I did it myself,” Wang Yao said.

  “Really? Ru told me you studied biology at the university. It’s amazing that you know how to design a courtyard,” Du Mingyang said.

  “Haha, I also know medicine,” Wang Yao said.

  “Right!” Du Mingyang took a sip of the tea. The tea smelled nice. It had a rich taste. “Nice tea.”


  “It’s from a friend. I’m glad you like it,” Wang Yao said.

  “This is high-quality Qimen black tea,” Wang Ru whispered.

  “Qimen black tea?” Du Mingyang asked.

  Is it famous? How come I’ve never heard of it? Du Mingyang thought. He pretended he knew about the tea. Otherwise, he would look ignorant in front of Wang Ru and her brother.

  “Do you have more of this tea?” Wang Ru asked.

  “No, why?” Wang Yao replied.

  “No reason,” Wang Ru said.

  “Do you want to drink it yourself or give it to someone?” Wang Yao quickly noticed the change in his sister. She had become much softer and wouldn’t talk loudly to Du Mingyang. Maybe his sister was in love with Du Mingyang.

  As Wang Ru about to tease Wang Yao, she heard someone calling outside.

  “Hello, is Dr. Wang in?” the person outside asked.

  “Yes, please come in,” Wang Yao said.

  It was Lu Xian, who carried a pack of presents.

  “Good afternoon, Dr. Wang,” Lu Xian said.

  “Hello, please take a seat. You don’t need to bring anything here,” Wang Yao said.

  “Oh, I just went to Beijing the day before. This is just a small present, several Peking ducks with an authentic taste. I wanted to bring some for you and your family to try,” Lu Xian said as he put the well-packed present on the table.

  “Well……” Wang Yao said.

  Goose feather sent from afar. The gift itself might be small, but the goodwill was deep. Wang Yao accepted the present. He would charge Lu Xian less today.

  Lu Xian had been recovering well. Wang Yao estimated that Lu Xian should fully recover in 10 days.

  “Really?” Lu Xian almost jumped with thrill.

  After expressing his gratitude, he left the clinic.

  “Is he from Beijing?” Du Mingyang asked with surprise.

  “Yes,” Wang Yao said.

  “Why does he come here? Does he have business in Lianshan?” Du Mingyang asked.

  “No, he lives in Beijing. A friend of mine recommended him to come here,” Wang Yao explained.

  “Is his condition weird?” Du Mingyang asked.

  “Yes,” Wang Yao said.

  What disease couldn’t be cured in Beijing no matter how weird the disease was? Someone who couldn’t be cured in Beijing could be cured here? But, the pecking ducks look authentic. I wonder what is the taste like? Du Mingyang was full of doubts, but he couldn’t speak it out loud. He couldn’t even appear to be doubtful.

  He shouldn’t question his future brother-in-law’s medical skills and capability. He was not stupid. He wanted a good future with Wang Ru.
