“First love my foot,” Wang Ru said.

“What’s wrong with your foot?” Wang Yao teased.

“Enough of that! Stop quarrelling. I think Xiao Du is a good man,” Zhang Xiuying said.

“Mom, did he bribe you? I’m your physical daughter,” Wang Ru said.

“Don’t argue with me. He has really takes care of you. You should value him,” her mother said. “Call him back to make sure he arrives home.”

Du Mingyang was climbing up the stairs when he received the phone call from Wag Ru.

“Arrive home?” The voice on the phone was gentle and full of care.

Good god! Du Mingyang was so excited that he almost dropped his phone.

“Yes, yes,” he replied.

“Go to bed early. Pick me up tomorrow morning if you are free,” Wang Ru said.

“No problem,” he said, barely containing his excitement.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! You are everything I ever wanted!

The next morning, he came to the mountain village early and had a breakfast at Wang Yao’s house. Wang Ru cooked some ordinary noodles. Du Mingyang ate three bowls of them.

“Is it really that delicious?” she asked.

“Really delicious, as long as you cook them,” he replied.

…

After leaving the mountain, Wang Yao went to the clinic. He had just treated two patients when Sun Zhengrong and his son came in.

Sun Yunsheng’s condition was fairly ideal. It was estimated that he would be cured after one week of treatment. Wang Yao was surprised that not only was his body in recovery but also the base of his body. It had been destroyed and ruined by the dreadful toxins of Yang energy. It was like what wildfire does to a forest. Now, it was recovering, and those cracks and cavities of his base were repairing.

Why? Is it the medication? Sun Yunsheng had only taken one dose of regather soup. It couldn’t work like that. Was it the neixi? It must be the unique and refined neixi.

“What’s up, Doctor Wang?” Sun Zhengrong asked in a low voice, seeing Wang Yao make no remark.

“Things are good,” Wang Yao said.

“That is to say…” Sun Zhengrong initially was shocked and then immediately understood the meaning of his words. This meant that his son’s life might be prolonged. It was very likely that he would continue to pass on the blood of the Sun family.

“Quite right,” Wang Yao confirmed.

“Thank you, thank you very much,” Sun Zhengrong said.

“Alright, let’s start the treatment.”

This time, Wang Yao tried to use his neixi to inspect Sun Yunsheng’s body. Neixi was only one part of his body. It was infused, like a refreshing rain after a long drought. Fengmen, tu shu, yi she…

Whoosh!

The treatment lasted until mid-day. Sun Zhengrong and his son left after being given some instructions from Wang Yao.

“I have something to tackle the few next days. Lao Lin will bring you here.” Sun Zhengrong said to his son.

“Alright. You don’t have to worry about me,” his son said.

“You must pay attention to what Doctor Wang told you. We mustn’t give up this time,” Sun Zhengrong said.

“Dad, relax! We have cheated death,” Sun Yunsheng said.

Since he had cheated death once, he looked at things differently. He had also been influenced by Wang Yao and recently read some classic books of Taoism. His temper had become calm and peaceful, which was good for his recovery.

“Ah, alright,” Sun Zhengrong said.

He was not only happy that his son’s disease was under recovery but also because his son had become mature, intelligent, and sensible.

The two wandered around the new houses being built in the village..

“Not bad.” Sun Zhengrong nodded.

His son agreed.

The materials they chose were the best. This meant they could move in days after the houses were finished. This would also spare them of commuting on cold days

…

In the afternoon, Wang Yao also two patients who suffered from headaches.

Tian Yuantu drove to the clinic at 3 p.m.

“I chose two days for the opening ceremony of the charity foundation. You’d better have a look,” he said.

“You can choose one from them and then tell us,” Wang Yao said.

“What about 9 a.m. on the sixth,” Tian Yuantu asked.

“No problem,” Wang Yao said. “You look better and seem to be more relaxed recently.”

Wang Yao had noticed Tian Yuantu seemed less anxious and seemed to always have a comfortable smile on his face.

“Yes, indeed,” Tian Yuantu said with a smile. “The company is functioning normally. I also hired a management team, so I don’t have to worry so much. To tell you the truth, I plan to engage more in the foundation and charity.”

“That’s brilliant,” Wang Yao replied.

“Ah, there’s one more thing you may not know,” Tian Yuantu said.

“What?” Wang Yao asked.

“Zhou Xiong is falling in love,” Tian Yuantu said.

“What?” Wang Yao was shocked. “With someone here?”

“Yes, and you also know the girl,” Tian Yuantu said.

“I do?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes. You saved her life and unborn baby,” Tian Yuantu said.

Wang Yao was reminded of that pregnant woman. That night, he had almost knocked down her. He then encountered Zhou Xiong. She was only five months along and almost miscarried in the hospital. Thankfully, her unborn baby was saved by a prolongation pill from Wang Yao.

“What about brother Zhou?” Wang Yao asked. He considered Zhou Xiong a good man and good friend.

Tian Yuantu laughed. “He is so busy but really happy.”

“That is good news.” Wang Yao smiled. “I look forward to drinking at his wedding feast.”

After bidding farewell to Tian Yuantu, Wang Yao did not hurry home. Instead, he opened the panel of the system in the clinic. The experience bar was almost full. He had finished several missions. It was mainly because he had treated so many more patients recently, especially in the village of Qinzhou where the plague occurred. He had treated almost all the villagers there. It gave him a lot of experience and many exchange points.

“Update is coming!”

He was happy. He could now learn more about the acupuncture skills. He had really looked forward to this update.

In the evening, Wang Yao’s youngest uncle paid him a visit at home. He was driving a new car. He had resigned from his previous workplace and planned to start his own business, a barbecue. Wang Yao didn’t think it was really feasible.

“I asked my friends for some recommendations,” his uncle said. “The income can be more than $200,000 a year if it is functioning well. That is much better than working all day and night under someone’s directives in the factory.”

He only saw the money they earned, but ignored the bitterness they endured.

Wang Yao’s younger brother was a junior now. He would have senior high school entrance examination next year, which would cost lots of money.

“Ah, you need to think about it carefully,” Wang Fenghua said.

Wang Yao didn’t think any of his uncles were practical. He wondered whether his third uncle, working in Tian Yuantu’s company, had restrained himself.

“Don’t drink if you’re to drive,” Wang Yao told him.

“No worries. I just took a sip. It’s so cold outside. No traffic officer would work in the evening,” his uncle said.

“It’s not for avoiding traffic officers but for the danger of drink driving.” Wang Yao said.

Wang Fenghua asked Wang Yao to put away the wine so he wouldn’t drink.

Wang Yao’s youngest uncle chatted with them after meal. It was all about his barbecue career. He left at 8 p.m.

“Call me when you arrive at home,” Wang Fenghua

“I’m not optimistic about his career,” Wang Yao said.

His uncle only thought about the fortune and not about any of the difficulty.

“He has already rented a store. What about having a look with me one day?” Wang Fenghua asked.

Wang Yao agreed.

“It must be tomorrow.” Wang Fenghua was a little worried.

The next morning, Wang Yao drove to Lianshan with his father without any word to his youngest uncle. They drove around and found the store he had rented based on what he had said the previous night.

“Here?” Wang Fenghua asked.

“Yes, his car was parked there,” Wang Yao said.

“Go and have a look,” Wang Fenghua said.

It was not a big store, but it could be used as long as it was cleaned up a bit. His uncle had bought some barbecue equipment and was working on it.

“Hello. Come on in,” he said.
