It was pure luck to come across patients with conditions hard-to-treat.

Should I wait for patients or try to find patients?

After all, he could wait, but time wouldn't wait.

Inside a household in Lianshan town center, a man was talking to his father.

"Dad, what are these things you bought home?" asked the man.

"Can't you see they are herbs? They are used to treat my legs," said his father pleasantly.

"Do these herbs work?" asked the man.

"Of course, I still feel warmth in my leg and have had no pain up till now," said his father.

"Really? What treatment did you get?" asked the man as he held his father's hand.

"As for the treatment, the doctor just ma.s.saged my leg," said the man's father after thinking for a moment?

"What? Just a ma.s.sage?" asked the man with surprise.

"Exactly, just a ma.s.sage." The man's father just realized that w.a.n.g Yao gave him a simple treatment. However, the effect was wonderful.

"But the way he ma.s.saged me was quite different, and more effective," said the man's father after thinking for a moment.

"The best ma.s.sage treatment is still just a ma.s.sage treatment. I've never heard that the coldness in one's leg can be cured by ma.s.sage. By the way, Dad, how much did he charge you?" asked the man. He started to suspect that his father had been fooled.

"He charged me 100," said his father.

"100, not too bad then," said the man.

The 100 yuan just covered part of the cost of the herbs. w.a.n.g Yao didn't ask him to pay for Qi therapy. It was hard to set a price on Qi therapy as it was quite unique.

The same thing happened in another household.

"Dad, have you been fooled by the so called doctor? These herbs are worth 300 yuan?" An old man's son apparently thought his father met a fraud. He didn't believe those bags of herbs were worth 300 yuan.

All those herbs were actually wild and very effective to the old man's condition. They wouldn't be able to buy the same herbs with 300 yuan.

"He's a well-known doctor," said the old man.

"Well-known? I really doubt his medical skills. I heard he is quite young," said his son.

"Right, he seems to be around 26," said the old man.

"What can a doctor in his 20s do? I guess the only thing he can do is fool old people like you. Listen to me, don't go back to him. Consider this a lesson," said his son. "Time for dinner, Dad, I made your favorite braised pork with preserved vegetable."

"The doctor asked me not to eat meat," said the old man.

"What? Don't take his words seriously," said his son.

The old man hesitated before having several piece of pork.

"Hmmm, the meat tastes really nice." The old man completely forgot about w.a.n.g Yao's instructions in front of his favorite dish.

w.a.n.g Yao had seen six patients in the village in one day. They all went to see him because of word of mouth.

"The doctor is so young!" All the patients made the same comment when they met w.a.n.g Yao.

"He's a highly skilled doctor, very capable." That was the comment from patients who were cured by w.a.n.g Yao.

"Is he really good?" This was the doubt from patients whose condition hadn't improved yet.

"I know he's a fraud, look how young he is! He just fooled me!" That was the comment from patients who hadn't been cured by w.a.n.g Yao.

Of course w.a.n.g Yao didn't know these comments were going around. Even if he heard of the comments though, he wouldn't mind.

At the moment he was sorting out the medical notes of his patients. The notes were valuable as they were his experiences in treating different conditions. He could pa.s.s his knowledge and experience onto the next generation after acc.u.mulating a good amount of notes. He was able to control the herbs he used. He would try not to use licorice roots and Qi therapy unless he really needed to. 

w.a.n.g Mingbao returned to the village from Lianshan town center when it was close to dusk.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight and didn't look well. w.a.n.g Yao was just away from the village for a week.

"How was everything going in Beijing?" asked w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"Good, let me make you a cup of tea," said w.a.n.g Yao.

"Thank you," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

The two of the sat down and started to chat.

"You seem to have lost a lot of weight. What happened?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"Nothing, I was just away for a while," said w.a.n.g Mingbao with a smile.

"Hey, you are like a brother to me. You can tell me what happened," said w.a.n.g Yao.

"I'm really fine. I visited Shangjun," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"Shanghjun? What did you go there for?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"I went to visit someone there," said w.a.n.g Mingbao as he lit a cigarette.

"Went to visit a person?" said w.a.n.g Yao with surprise, "Who did you see?"

"A boy who quit school," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"What?!" said w.a.n.g Yao with surprise, "A boy who quit school?"

"Yes. One day I saw a news about supporting poor students on TV by chance. Then I phoned to ask them for details of how to support a student. So I went there after I have gotten the information. You know, I wasn't in good mood at that time. I needed something to distract me. After I arrived at that place, the living condition there really shocked me," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"Is the place in the mountain area?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"Yes, the place is surrounded by mountains. I really had no idea there could be such a poor place existing in China," said w.a.n.g Mingbao with a sigh. "The children there have never drank milk."

w.a.n.g Yao didn't say anything.

"I stayed there for two days and gave all the cash I brought with me to the child I support. His family was really appreciative. I suddenly found it's nice to help people, especially those kind people in need," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"Take me there to have a look when you are available," said w.a.n.g Yao.

"Okay," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

w.a.n.g Yao and w.a.n.g Mingbao were not short of money. They both lived quite comfortably. They both felt they needed to do something meaningful, especially after they've earned some money. They needed to do something good for the society. Of course a lot of rich people were never bothered to help others, but there were still some rich and powerful people who were keen to engage in charity. They just tried to keep a low profile.

"By the way, the boy I support doesn't seem to be doing well. He's sick all the time," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"I'm not surprised. He lives in a poor village that is likely short of food and goods. If he starves frequently, he wouldn't get adequate nutrition to keep healthy. So he's gonna be ill often," said w.a.n.g Yao.

"Actually I didn't leave much money for him. It won't make too much difference," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"You've tried your best. After all, you are not a billionaire," said w.a.n.g Yao. "We can go there together when you are available. Maybe I could start fundraising for them."

He could donate some money to the residents there, and could also ask his friends to donate some money. It could help, depending on the residents' situations.

"Do you want to have dinner at my place?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"No, thanks, I'll eat with my grandparents. They've cooked dinner," said w.a.n.g Mingbao.

"Okay, next time," said w.a.n.g Yao.

They chatted for a short while before leaving the clinic together.

"Yao, are you available tomorrow?" asked Zhang Xiuying while having dinner.

"Yeah, why?" said w.a.n.g Yao.

"Can you go to your grandparent's place with me tomorrow?" asked Zhang Xiuying.

"Yeah," replied w.a.n.g Yao.

While he was eating back at home, he received a phone call from w.a.n.g Ru.

"What? Okay, I see. I'm on my way now," said w.a.n.g Yao on the phone. "Mom, I need to go to the town now. I might not come back tonight." w.a.n.g Yao stood up.

"You haven't finished your meal," said Zhang Xiuying.

"I have to go now," said w.a.n.g Yao.

"Okay, drive safe," said Zhang Xiuying.

"I know," said w.a.n.g Yao.

w.a.n.g Yao drove to the town center in a rush. His sister told him on the phone that she was in a motor vehicle accident, and asked him not to tell their parents. w.a.n.g Yao called Pan Jun immediately after he had left home because his sister was in the town hospital. Pan Jun was having dinner when w.a.n.g Yao called him. He put down his chopsticks and went to the hospital without hesitation.

"What happened? You had an accident," asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"Nothing too serious, you should have finished your dinner first," said w.a.n.g Ru.

When w.a.n.g Yao had arrived at the hospital, his sister had seen the doctor. She was talking to Pan Jun on a pair of crutches.

"How is she?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"She's fine. Just had some scratches to the skin and muscles. Her bones are fine," said Pan Jun.

"What happened?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"It was absolutely horrendous. I was walking on the footpath with my friend. A car just came out of nowhere and came right towards us. Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would have been run over," said w.a.n.g Ru. She was still upset about the event.

"What about the driver of the car?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"Drunk driving, and he's escaped," replied w.a.n.g Ru.

"Drunk driving under such strict traffic laws? Where is your friend now?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"She had a fracture in her arm. The doctor is still putting a plaster on it," replied w.a.n.g Ru.

"Have you guys called the police?" asked w.a.n.g Yao.

"Yes, the police is still looking for the driver," replied w.a.n.g Ru.

This was considered a hit-and-run. Even though no one died, the driver could be put in jail according to the law, because he had injured two people.

"Well, I'm glad you are fine," said w.a.n.g Yao.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"You didn't tell our parents, did you?" asked w.a.n.g Ru.

"No," replied w.a.n.g Yao.
