Chapter 278: I Had a Method, There Was No Harm in Trying

“I told you before that your illness is not airborne, so they will not get it. Not to mention, it’s almost healed. There won’t be a problem,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

At first, Wei Hai did not go back because he was afraid that his horrifying morbid state would scare his children. Later, when he was in a better condition, he was worried that the illness would be contagious, so he only visited occasionally. At that time, Wang Yao told him that his illness was caused by his living habits. Unless there was a contact with blood, the illness would not be transmitted. However, he was still uneasy about it, and he did not start to go back home more frequently until the past month.

“Yes, I know. In a week, I have four days in Haiqu and I’ll be in Lianshan for the rest of the week. I’ll feel better by changing where I live.”

“Here — this is the medicine that I’ve made for you. It should be the last one.” Wang Yao took out the herbal medicine that he had prepared earlier.

“Okay.” Hearing Wang Yao’s words, Wei Hai knew that his illness would be cured soon.

“Have you had breakfast?”

“Yes, I have.”

“Let’s start the treatment then. It may be a little painful.”

“I can endure it.”

Wang Yao poured a cup of herbal medicine.

“Drink this much at first to see how strong it is.”

Wei Hai took the medicine without a slight hesitation. He lifted his head and drank it.

Wang Yao remained by his side and laid his finger on Wei Hai’s wrist so he could detect any change in his pulse.

“Tell me if there’s anything that’s particularly uncomfortable.”

“Okay.”

During the first 10 minutes, he did not feel anything too different. He only felt a burning feeling under his ribs, as if there was a hot water bottle covering it. As time went by, the burning feeling started to become stinging. It felt like someone was holding a red-hot needle and pricked his skin with it.

Wei Hai’s face started to turn pale. His body shivered slightly and sweat suddenly appeared.

“Is it painful?”

“Yes, but I can endure it.”

The pain, which felt like being pricked by a needle, grew stronger rapidly. Wei Hai’s body was shaking severely.

Upon seeing the situation, Wang Yao rubbed a few spots under his ribs with strength several times. There were a few acupoints there which could play an analgesic role.

Phew, phew. Wei Hai drew deep breaths.

His ribs were still in extreme pain.

This process was like an execution. The duration was not long, but it felt very slow. After a period of time, he felt that the pain under his ribs was gradually subsiding.

“The pain is starting to subside.”

“Okay.”

Wang Yao looked at the time and made a mental note to himself.

The scorching pain lasted for nearly two hours. Even though there was air conditioning in the room and a cool breeze was blowing, Wei Hai’s clothes were drenched in sweat. Water could be squeezed out of his clothes.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore, but it still feels a little hot and swollen here.” He pointed at his abdomen.

“Eat something light at noon and drink more soup.”

“Okay.”

“Come to my place tomorrow. I’ll have a look again.”

“Sure.”

Wang Yao reminded him about some of the things that he had to pay attention to before leaving.

Wei Hai collapsed on the deck chair once Wang Yao left. That treatment had depleted his strength. Now, he just wanted to lie here, do nothing, draw big breaths, and have a good rest.

After lying for about half an hour, he only then regained some strength. He looked at the time and planned to eat something outside. When he picked up his keys and walked to the door, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his abdomen. He needed to go to the washroom, so he rushed over.

He had diarrhea and, afterwards, there was a stench in the washroom.

After removing the residue and toxins in the body, Wei Hai only then felt a lot more comfortable. When he looked back, he only saw a dark black, sticky substance floating on the surface.

Swoosh. It was mostly washed away.

Phew!

Wei Hai drew a long breath, locked the teahouse, and went out.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao was driving. He did not return home, but he went to Haiqu City instead. He was going to see Secretary Yang’s mother. This time, he was not with Tian Yuantu. He gave the kind elder a call in advance and asked her to wait at home.

Haiqu City was situated alongside the Yellow Sea. The temperature was slightly lower than that of Lianshan County, which was only tens of kilometers away.

When seeing Secretary Yang’s mother again, she looked much better than the last time. Her face was rosy and her eyes were bright. Her movements were also a lot stronger. This was the external display of how she had recovered.

“Dr. Wang, please, come in.”

“You look a lot better.”

“Thank you.”

“Why don’t I take a look?”

“Okay.”

After sitting down, Wang Yao began to diagnose the elder.

The cold toxins were still present, but the amount was a lot less.

This was somewhat like the parasites deep inside the organs in Wei Hai’s body. It was very difficult to clean up and expel. With Wang Yao’s current ability, he could only remove it by using herbal medicine. When the patient’s body was better, the drug efficacy could be increased moderately to produce a stronger effect. It could directly penetrate the depths of the organs to stimulate and expel the toxins. However, this was no small ordeal for the elder in front of him. Although her body was much stronger than before, she was still a person in her seventies, unlike Wei Hai, who was in his prime of life and still had his body’s foundations.

Wang Yao carefully explained the situation to the elder in front of him. At the same time, he proposed his “medicine bath” treatment plan.

To try or not to try, it was her choice.

“Is the idea just to bathe using the medicine?”

“Yes,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“I believe in you.”

“Thank you for your trust.”

Wang Yao took out the list of medicine which he wanted to use for the medicine bath, and also the specific medicine bath processes. The knowledge used in the medicine bath was also mentioned in the inculcation series by the system. He dispensed the medicine according to the condition of the elder. The medicine selected had a milder efficacy.

The matters of concern were also pointed out after he gave a list of the list of medicine and the processes. What was left to do was to implement it.

A mogul should be able to handle this matter well. Therefore, after giving her a diagnosis, Wang Yao left the Sanyang powder behind and left, even though the elder tried to insist he stay for a meal.

He would come and take a look at the elder’s condition after a week.

It was already about five o’clock in the afternoon when he returned to the construction site. In the small courtyard, the team was still mainly busy about the masonry of the walls of the courtyard and the construction inside the building.

His sister had also returned home from another part of the country.

“Sister, has your training ended?”

Some time ago, according to the arrangements in her unit, she was chosen as a representative to study in the southern cities. The content was, of course, mainly related to agriculture. She went there for 10 days.

“Yes, it’s over. Wow, the clinic is being built pretty fast.” After Wang Ru returned home, she greeted her parents and came over to see her younger brother’s new house.

“It’s all thanks to the workers. What do you think?”

“Well, it’s quite pretty. Director Tian’s men are all talented!”

“The design proposal was done by a professor in Tongji University.”

Surprised, Wang Ru asked, “A university professor? When did you get to know each other?”

“By chance. This is all thanks to Brother Tian.”

After staying at the construction site for a while, the siblings returned home.

At night, the family gathered together and listened to Wang Ru’s experiences in foreign places. It was a cozy and lively night.

“Sister, you’re still the same as before!”

It was not until nine o’clock at night that Wang Yao left his family’s house and walked towards Nanshan Hill. When he passed by the small courtyard, he did not forget to greet the worker who stayed behind to guard the tools. Wang Yao also gave him two boxes of cigarettes.

“Sorry to trouble you.”

“You’re most welcome,” the man in his forties replied with a smile and revealed two rows of white teeth. “Are you still going up the hill at this hour?”

After being here for a few days, he knew that the young man seemed to have a special habit: that was, he was used to staying on Nanshan Hill, even at night. The older man really could not think of any redeeming features of the hill. However, the young man was very smart.

“Yes, I’m used to it.”

“Be careful.”

Staring at the dark hill without a single light in sight, he was terrified.

“Thank you.”

After saying a few words, Wang Yao went up Nanshan Hill.

In his opinion, the night sky, which was a bit scary to outsiders, was actually quite beautiful. Everything was very quiet and the mountain wind blew gently. The crops in the fields, the trees on the hill, and the insects in the soil seemed to be whispering and growing.
