The wind blew.

As he waved his hand, the wind blew. A few meters away, the tree leaves were rustling.

…

At the foot of the hill, the young man was shivering and sweating abnormally. He could not endure it anymore.

Where did he go?!

He was upset and full of regret. He prayed to himself, even though he felt like swearing out loud!

Gosh, I can’t hold it in again! He hurriedly ran to the field by the side and found a corner.

After a while, he came out holding a stick.

He was already having difficulty walking even though he had only suffered for a night. His legs and body felt weak. He was dizzy. He even came in a taxi.

An old man in the village saw the young man who could not stand. He went forward and asked him kindly, “Young man is everything all right?”

“Grandpa, I’m waiting for someone.”

“Waiting for someone? Who?”

“Dr. Wang.” He pointed at the closed medical center behind him.

“Ah, you’re waiting for him. He’s probably on the hill,” the old man replied with a smile.

They were all from the same village. They knew about some of the habits of this young man. He liked to be on the hill and plant some trees and herbs. He seldom went out, and he could rarely be seen on the streets.

“On the hill? Which hill?” The young man was startled.

Are you kidding me? I can’t even hold it in anymore. It feels like something is going to gush out if I move even a little. It’s worse than a woman’s menstruation. I might even poop in my pants. It is certainly unstoppable!

“Umm, it can’t be seen from here. I think it’ll take half an hour to reach there. He might not be on the hill either. Young man, don’t you have his mobile number?”

“No.”

“Oh. Wait here then. He might come over after a while.” The old man put his hand on his back and went up the hill.

What if he doesn’t come?! The brawny man thought to himself while sulking.

On the hill, after Wang Yao finished practicing, he had a simple breakfast. Then, he prepared to decoct the medicine.

There were the ancient spring water, multifunctional pot for herbs, and various kinds of medicinal herbs.

He planned to decoct the Muscle Revitalization powder, but the two important medicinal herbs, which were Lingshanji and the Everlasting grass, were not enough. Therefore, he correspondingly reduced the amount of the other medicinal herbs. He only planned to decoct half of the medicine.

Red Vaseline, litharge powder, fritillary…

The medicinal herbs were added into the pot and were left to simmer on a low heat. There was no rush.

Decocting medicine is something that requires great care.

The mountain wind was refreshing. It came in through the windows.

The aroma of the medicine permeated the entire cottage. It was not pungent. Instead, it had a unique scent.

Outside the cottage, the dog was lying in its kennel with its eyes closed.

…

At the foot of the hill, the young man had already worshipped all the gods.

For mercy’s sake, please appear quickly! He really could not stand it anymore.

His dung was already stained with blood!

…

On the hill, Wang Yao finished decocting half of the medicine when it was near noon.

The medicine was emerald green in color and creamy like a melted jade. It was very beautiful.

It was successful!

After storing the medicine, Wang Yao went down the hill.

Huh?

He saw the young man who was walking back and forth outside the medical center weakly.

It’s him.

Wang Yao only remembered now that he seemed to have said something the day before.

“Dr. Wang, it’s my mistake!” The man immediately rushed over after seeing Wang Yao. He kneeled onto the ground with a thud.

“Get up. What are you doing?!” Wang Yao exclaimed.

The man was already crying. His tears were already rolling down.

He did not really want to kneel. His body was out of his control. He had diarrhea, and he vomited. Both of his legs were weak. He could not even stand stably.

“Can you give me the cure?”

He knew that his sudden vomiting and diarrhea was definitely related to the young man in front of him. He didn’t want to live for another second, and he didn’t want to feel that way any longer.

“I’ll reveal everything.”

Yang Ming?!

He was a person whom Wang Yao did not expect.

Him?

Wang Yao slightly frowned.

“That’s right. It’s him!”

The young man regretted it so much. He really should not have gotten into trouble with Wang Yao for 1800 Yuan, since it led to him suffering so much. The damage done on his spirit and body could not be compensated with such little money.

“Okay. You can leave.”

“Okay!” The man struggled to get up. “Please be kind and give me the cure for it.”

“Okay. There’s no next time!”

“I wouldn’t dare!” the man who was 1.8 meters tall hurriedly promised. There would not be a next time. He would not come here again even if it meant he had to die.

“Stand properly.”

Wang Yao gently massaged his abdomen and rubbed it.

“It’s done.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes. You’ll be fine after two days of rest.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Wang Yao smiled and shook his head.

The man walked with difficulty. He made a phone call while walking. He had to take a taxi back. He would go to a hospital on the way back to have another checkup.

Yang Ming!

Wang Yao looked into the distance. He was a little distressed about his classmate. If he did not punish him, he might take a mile if he was given an inch. Even if he punished him, they were still classmates of many years. He still had to have some consideration.

I’ll take note of it for the time being. He finally made such a decision.

…

“What? Going to Jing City?” He told Tong Wei about this matter when he was talking to Tong Wei on the phone in the afternoon. She was a bit surprised.

“Yes. I’m going there to see a patient. Are you interested in going to Jing City with me?”

“How long will you be there?”

“My initial estimate is about a week.”

Tong Wei was looking at the calendar at home.

“I’m afraid I can’t. I have to go back to the company in two days,” she replied somewhat disappointedly. In fact, she really wanted to go to Jing City with Wang Yao.

“I’ll go by myself then. I’ll drive you back to Dao City in two days, though. I’ll take the plane from Dao City to Jing City.”

“Okay!”

After agreeing on it, Wang Yao went home to have lunch. On the way, he ran into an elder in the village. He was the person whom the man met outside the medical center.

“Uncle.”

“Yao, did that person find you this morning? He’s quite tall, and he didn’t look too well.”

“Yes. What’s wrong?”

“Oh. He asked me where your house is. I didn’t tell him though. He didn’t look like a good person!” the man said.

“It’s okay. He has left. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Hey, Uncle.” Wang Yao stopped the man.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is your leg unwell?” He pointed at the old man’s right leg. He noticed that the old man’s right leg did not look very natural when he was walking just now. He was slightly limping.

“Yeah. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. These days, the arch of my foot hurts when I walk, as if it’s pricked by a needle.”

“Go to my place in the afternoon if you’re free. I’ll have a look.”

“Alright,” the man in his forties or fifties responded. He did not take it seriously.

After lunch, Wang Yao chatted with his parents for a while and left his house. He went into the medical center and rested for a while. He took out a medical book and started reading.

Time passed slowly. Before he knew it, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon.

Wang Yao looked at the clock on the wall.

Is he not coming?

…

On the hill, a man in his forties was herding sheep. He grimaced after taking a few steps. He seemed to be in pain.

Sss, why is it getting more and more painful? He managed to herd the sheep and went down the hill while limping.

He was planning to go home and take a rest. When he was in front of Wang Yao’s medical center, he suddenly remembered what Wang Yao said this morning.

I’ll go in and let him have a look. He had also heard it from the villagers that this young man knew how to treat illnesses besides planting herbs on the hill. People from foreign places even drove here to have their illnesses treated, but none of the villagers did so. Why was that? They still did not believe him.

How could a person who studied biology in university know how to treat illnesses? If he was really that superb, why did he not work in the hospital? Why did he stay in this small mountain village?

The villagers had been talking about this matter for quite some time.

I’ll go have a look!

He took a few more steps. The arch of his foot was still in a lot of pain. Then, he tied the lead sheep to a tree. He did not care about the rest of the sheep. He directly pushed open the door and entered the medical center.

“Is Yao in?”

“I’m in. Uncle, you’re here.” Wang Yao came out of the house with a smile after hearing the shout.

He was free in the afternoon, and he did not have any appointments. He just waited for the man in front of him.

“Come inside and take a seat.”

Looking at the yard and the house, the middle-aged man praised, “You’ve decorated this place pretty well!”

This was the first time that he had come to Wang Yao’s small courtyard. Seeing that the courtyard was so exquisite, he took a few more glances at it.

“It’s all right. Come inside and take a seat.”

There was a cup of tea, a plate of grapes and a plate of roasted chestnuts.

“Uncle, drink some tea.”

“Okay. Thank you.” The middle-aged man sat down.

The tea was very fragrant. He was not a person who knew a lot about teas, but he knew that the tea was definitely top-grade and expensive.

“These are the grapes which I’ve planted myself. Taste some.”

“Okay. Oh, it’s delicious!”

Wang Yao hurriedly gave him a checkup.

“Yao, have a look at my leg. What’s wrong with it?”

“Did you go to the hospital?”

“No. It wasn’t very painful at first, so I didn’t take it seriously. You know that there are all sorts of examinations that have to be done in the hospital now. I would have to spend quite a lot of money to do all of them!”

In the mountain village, the villagers’ income depended on their work and the few acres of land on the hill. After a year and deducting all sorts of expenses, not much money could be earned. Therefore, they usually tried to endure ordinary illnesses.

“You have to go to the hospital immediately if you feel unwell. If it’s delayed any further, it may become serious,” Wang Yao advised him.

“Okay. Can you take a look at it first?” the middle-aged man answered.

“All right.” Wang Yao knew that the man might not listen to his advice. This was what was currently happening in some areas. This kind of thinking could not be changed in a short time.

“You’re suffering from the collapse of the arch of your foot.” Wang Yao discovered the problem with a brief examination.

“What do you mean?”

“Haha. A normal foot is arched. Yours is flat,” Wang Yao replied with a smile. “Didn’t you notice it in your daily life?”

“I really didn’t. How should it be treated?”

“Take off your shoes!”

The man took off his shoes. A stench spread out in an instant. He was busy all day long in the village, so he was not very particular about hygiene.

“Sorry. Would you like me to wash my feet outside and come in again?” The middle-aged man felt quite embarrassed as well, and he was about to get up.
