  God! How brave elder brother is!

  A situation like this could only happen on a snowy day when there were not many persons in the village. Otherwise, they would attract the police.

  Wang Yao was also startled by such situation.

  This was the first time he had seen someone bound to see doctor.

  “Doctor Wang, please see my daughter,” said the short and bald man as he hurried in the clinic.

  “Is it a drug addiction attack?” Wang Yao asked.

  “Yes,” the man said.

  “Put her down,” Wang Yao said.

  They put He Xiaofeng down.

  “Now, untie her,” Wang Yao said.

  “Are you crazy? Untie her!” the bald man exclaimed.

  The girl jumped up when they loosened the rope around her.

  “No, I can’t. I can’t stand that any more, Dad!” she exclaimed

  She felt uncomfortable all over her body. It was as if there were ants climbing on her body and constantly biting her. She would rather be put to death. She knew she would immediately relax if she ate the thing a bit. It would make her feel extraordinary comfortable.

  She cramped up. She wanted to move, but it seemed there was an intangible wall blocking her. Wang Yao reached out and clapped more than 10 times on her body.

  Ah!

  The girl slumped on the ground. The surrounding people steadied her right away.

  “Send her aside.” Wang Yao reached out and felt her pulse. “How many times did she take the drugs?”


  “It’s the first time,” the bald man said.

  “OK. You should wait here for a while,” Wang Yao said. He then got up and left the room.

  “Where does he come from?” one of the young men asked.

  “How would I know?” the other young man replied.

  “Hizz. What about having a smoke?” the other man said.

  “Go out if you have to smoke!” He Xiaofeng’s father shouted out in a low voice. The young men did not speak again.

  Glossy ganoderma, licorice…… Many medical herbs boiled in the multifunctional pot for herbs. Time slowly went by second by second.

  “How long do we have to wait?” The young men had lost their patience and all came out to the yard to smoke.

  “Ah, this clinic was decorated rather well. What’s that?” the first one said.

  “Ah, no idea,” the other man said.

  “Why did elder brother’s daughter take drugs?” the first man asked.

  “Shut up! Do you want to be put to death? Elder brother has already investigated it privately. He will severely torture the man who’s made his daughter addicted to drugs,” the other young man said. “It’s so cold.”


  There were some snowflakes flying in the sky. The fragrance of the medical herbs floated outside and filled the small yard.

  “What’s that smell?” the first man asked.

  “Medical herbs,” the other man said.

  The last one was the antidote herb. It dissolved into water right away, turning the medical soup into emerald green, like the smelted jadeite. It was the king of the medicine, which meant it would bring fundamental change to the medicine.

  “The medicine has boiled down,” Wang Yao said. “Please take it to the yard for cooling. Then, bring it back to the room.”


  Wang Yao gently clapped the lethargic girl on the chair. She gradually woke up from the sound.

  “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry to make you worry about me.” This was the first thing she said when she woke up.

  “How do you feel?” Wang Yao peacefully asked.

  “I’ve no strength. I also feel like I’m spinning,” He Xiaofeng said without any energy.

  “Ah, that is normal,” Wang Yao said. “Here is the medicine she needs to take. The amount is same, but the duration of medication intervals will double. Come back in 15 days.”


  He Xiaofeng’s mother took the medication with both her hands. She held on to it carefully and gave Wang Yao money from her purse.

  “Here you are,” she said.

  “OK. Go home and be careful on your way,” Wang Yao said.

  How skillful! These two words came to the minds of the young men witnessing the scene. It seemed so simple to treat the disease. Plus, the prescription cost $10,000. It seemed much easier than their work and was completely without any risk.

  “What about it if we change our career and become a doctor instead?” one of the men said.

  “Lay off please. You would make good eyes become blind,” the other young man said. “You can’t even distinguish the spleen from the stomach.”


  “I just made a casual comment. It’s the first time that I’ve seen the elder brother pay money so quickly without even a blink,” the first man said.

  “Nonsense, how could we bargain with them if it’s in the hospital?” the other man asked.

  The two cars and their passengers headed back home in the wind and ad snow. Along the way, one of the young men received a phone call.

  “Hello, Da Cheng? Yes, I’m in Lianshan. We just left Doctor Wang’s.”


  In the clinic, the phone on the table rang when Wang Yao was preparing to lock the door.

  “Hello. Yes, I am. OK.”


  Within two hours, another car drove into the village. Three men and one women got out of the car. A young man with them was also tied tightly. Based on his teeth grinding, he seemed to be in significant pain.

  “Doctor Wang?”


  “Wait for me in the room,” Wang Yao said.

  They all went into the room. The medical soup gurgled as it boiled. Wang Yao watched the changing of the soup while quietly sitting in front of a fire.

  “Hong Lin, how do you feel?” the woman asked.

  “Mom, it’s painful,” said the young man with an unmeaningful glance on his pale face.

  “Lao Sun, come see our boy. Is he in danger?” she asked.

  “Wait,” Sun Dacheng said with indifference.

  “Ah, how troublesome for the doctor to decoct the medicine,” the woman said.

  “Shut up!” The man glared at his wife.

  Decocting medicine could not be rushed. The trick was to calm down and be peaceful. Sometimes mood fluctuation could affect the medicine efficacy.

  Wang Yao could clearly hear what they were saying in the room. The house was not well insulated. Plus, his hearing was really extraordinary compared to ordinary people. The fussier they were, the quieter Wang Yao was to decoct the medicine.

  “Mom, give me a little, just a little,” the son said.

  Sun Dacheng raised his leg to kick him.

  “What are you doing?” shouted the woman. It was as if she had been kicked. “Sun Dacheng, he’s your son!”


  “I don’t have a son like him!” The man yelled back.

  “Don’t crack the whip here!” the woman exclaimed.

  The door opened with the sound of squeak. Wang Yao watched the farce in front of him, holding the medicine with his hands.

  “Doctor, how troublesome your medicine is to make,” the woman said. Her voice was unconsciously high since she was a bit angry.

  “You can go if you are unwilling to wait,” Wang Yao said.

  “How dare you say that?” the woman said.

  Fussy and noisy! Wang Yao shouted out deeply. Bang! The glass began to ring. The people in the room felt dizzy. It was as if a bomb had exploded near them.

  “You can go,” Wang Yao said indifferently.

  “Sorry Doctor, I’m wrong,” the woman hurriedly said.

  “Out!” Wang Yao sternly said.

  His hand shook. The people in the room had to take many steps back. It was as though there was an intangible force floating past them.

  Chinese martial arts! They were frightened.

  “Why haven’t you left yet?” Wang Yao asked.

  “Sorry, doctor. I’m very sorry.” The women hurried to apologize. She did not want to make the doctor angry, but she was really worried.

  Wang Yao did not want to respond to them.

  He reached out and shook his hand. The people could not move their bodies anymore. It was as if there was an intangible shackle tying them down. They were forced to go out of the room, seeing the changing scenes around them from inside to the outside of the clinic. They wanted to move their bodies, but they were out of control. They also wanted to yell, but no sound came out.

  Bang! The door slammed.

  After a long time, they gradually were able to control their bodies. They were startled. It seemed like it had been a dream

  What was going on?

  Sweat dripped from heads. Their faces were rather pale. It was like they saw a ghost in the daytime.

  A chilly gust of cold wind blew past. They regained their consciousness after feeling the cold.

  Was did that young man do? Was he a human being?

  They still had lingering fear. It seemed that he could easily do anything he liked to them. They could not even resist anything like the small and weak ants.

  “Dad, Mom, I guess we’ll go?” Sun Honglin’s drug addiction was temporarily and marvelously suppressed since he was scared.

  “Go? What about your disease?” the woman asked.

  She was rather regretful. Things would not be like this if she had not lost her temper. What could she do if the young doctor refused to see her son for treatment? Would she have to send her son to an addiction treatment center?
