  He had no other option except to follow his rules. He smoked cigarettes one after another under the tree.

  An old man with a cow walked were walking by him.

  “Hey, I haven’t seen a cow in a long time,” the man said.

  He looked at the old cow. Every day in the capital he saw high-rise buildings, busy people, cats and dogs. Seeing a cow was quite rare for him.

  As the old man and cow walked, the cow raised its hip and defecated.

  “Sh*t!” The man holding the cigarette was stunned. “What?”


  The old man and cow continued on their way, leaving him alone in confusion.

  Wang Yao was busy on the mountain the whole morning planting trees. The middle-aged man waited outside the clinic all morning and smoked seven cigarettes. He felt very wronged.

  “Who is this sh*t doctor!” The man sighed.

  A voice rang out. “What did you say?”


  The man looked up and saw a man standing in front of him, looking at him with an odd expression.

  “What did you say?” The other man repeated his words.

  “Oh, nothing,” the man with the cigarette said.

  He thought the other man’s eyes were very aggressive. He felt like he would be slapped in the face if he made a mistake.

  The person questioning him was Zhong Liuchuan. He asked, “What are you doing here?”


  Zhong Liuchuan had been on his way to practice when he saw someone standing by the clinic. Although it was obvious he was waiting for the doctor, the man’s words and demeanor made him uncomfortable.

  “I am here to see a doctor,” the man said, who also felt uncomfortable facing the man who was about his age.

  “Dr. Wang is not going to see any patient today,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Haven’t you seen his Weibo?”


  “Ah, I just saw that,” the man said. “This is my first time here.”


  “You don’t need to bother waiting,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

  “Oh, OK,” the man replied.

  After finishing the conversation, the man, who had come a thousand miles from the capital had some unwillingness to leave. He wanted to continue waiting for a while. Seeing that the man was giving him an unfriendly look, he quickly gave up that thought. Besides, it was hot. He decided to come back in the afternoon.

  On Nanshan Hill, Wang Yao smiled as he looked at the trees he had just planted. “Sanxian, Daxia, thank you.”


  After he finished and cleaned up, he went down the mountain to have lunch.

  At noon, when the weather was the hottest, another person arrived in the small mountain village. The man, who was in his 30s and looked quite ordinary, had driven in from the north and stopped in the south part of the village. He got out of his car, looked around and the village, returned to his car and left the mountain village.

  As he was driving out of the village, he muttered to himself, “In the little mountain village, I didn’t see any unusual places, except for the clinic. I don’t understand why you suffer losses in such a place, Zhong Liuchuan.”


  In the afternoon, the clinic opened for business. The man who had waited in the morning was happy. He knocked on the door.

  Wang Yao had just finished treating a patient.

  The man entered and asked, “Are you Dr. Wang?”


  “That is me. Are you here to see a doctor?” Wang Yao glanced at the man. His body was healthy. He had no major problems.

  “Not me, it is my son,” the man said,

  “Where is he?” Wang Yao asked.

  “He is not here,” the man said.

  “Bring him here,” Wang Yao said.

  “Doctor, his condition is very serious,” the man replied. “He has a headache and stomach ache. He can’t get out of bed. Can you come and see him?”


  Without hesitating, Wang Yao replied. “No.”


  “I will pay whatever his necessary,” the man said.

  “I won’t go,” Wang Yao calmly said. “I don’t want to have say it a third time. If you have nothing else, please leave.”


  The man didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t understand the doctor’s temper. He didn’t really even get a chance to start a conversation and had to leave. He didn’t know how he was going to tell Hou Shida’s mother.

  “What? He won’t come?” The woman who received the phone call in Jing was quite upset. “Can’t you pay more?”


  “No, ma’am, I thought of anything I could,” the man said.

  In fact, he had not thought of anything. If he wanted to say anything more, he would have been pushed out before finishing his words.

  “I will go there in person,” Hou Shida’s mother said.

  As the sun set, Zhong Liuchuan was practicing alone in a small courtyard in the mountain village. After two days, he was now able to touch the path of the practice. Although it was still a bit awkward, he believed that after a period of familiarity, there would be progress. After learning techniques from Wang Yao, he wanted to know more.

  As evening approached, a man in his 30s drove into the village. The license plate on his car was from Dao.

  He stopped the car when he saw an old man on the side of the road. He asked, “Excuse me, do you know whether there is a clinic here?”


  “Yes, it is in the south of the village,” the old man said. “At this time, it’s probably closed. Do you need to see a doctor?”


  “Well, yes, I am here to see a doctor,” the man said. He had a strange expression on his face.

  “Ah, then you have to come back tomorrow,” the old man said. He and the other villagers knew about Wang Yao’s clinic and weird rules. “You should check his Weibo!”


  “Tomorrow, gotcha.” The man drove away.

  He went to Lianshan County and found a hotel to stay in. That night, he heard someone knocking at the door.

  “Who is it?” he asked.

  “Hello, sir, do you want special services?” a woman asked.

  “Special?” He knew what that meant and became angry. “No, go away! Special service? I am almost a eunuch!”


  The next morning, the man arrived in the mountain village early and went to the clinic.

  “Oh, it’s you!” When Wang Yao saw the man, he was surprised.

  The man was the bar owner he had met in Dao who like to spend money on massages. Wang Yao had not expected the man to find him.

  “It was very difficult to find you,” the man said.

  Since he had Wang Yao on that day, the man discovered that he could not be intimate. In fact, he could not even think about it. Every time he did, he had a painful physical reaction. It was almost killing him.

  The problem was that he now had feelings for a beautiful girl. He wanted to settle down with her. Now that he had this problem, he had to hide from the girl.

  He wanted to slap Wang Yao. He would have done it if the man before him wasn’t the key to his health and future.

  “How is it? Have you felt better lately?” Wang Yao asked with a smile.

  “Not good at all! It’s very bad!” The man vented his anger. “I was kind and good to do business with you, but you treated me this way. They all say that people in rural areas are simple, don’t they?”


  “No, I see that your mental state is obviously much better than the previous few days,” Wang Yao said.

  The man’s spirit was indeed much better than that day in Dao. Appropriate abstinence was a great benefit to the body.

  “Can you cure my illness, please?” the man asked.

  “Well, it will take a while for your illness to heal,” Wang Yao replied.

  What these two people said were obviously not the same thing.

  “Doctor Wang, I am getting married, so that can’t be the case.” The man took a deep breath.

  “Married? Congratulations,” Wang Yao said. “From a pharmacist’s point of view, I do not recommend that you marry at this time. You have not fully recovered. You may further aggravate your condition!”
