“I bumped into Dr. Long,” Wang Mingbao said.
“What was he doing over there?” Wang Yao was a bit concerned. “I hope he didn’t cause any trouble.”
“No, don’t worry. You know what? That Dr. Long is a different person now,” Wang Mingbao said.
“Different person? What do you mean?” Wang Yao asked.
“He was doing something good in the village. He gave the kids books and contacted a local hospital to arrange regular free health check for the kids,” Wang Mingbao said.
“Really?” Wang Yao was very surprised. Given what Dr. Long used to be like, he wouldn’t do anything that wouldn’t benefit him.
“Yes, I can feel that he has really changed,” Wang Mingbao said.
“Hmm, that’s a good thing,” Wang Yao said.
It seemed that the experience of being stuck in a wheelchair had changed him.
“By the way, I paid a visit to Jia County to check the road plan for the village,” Wang Mingbao said.
“When will they start the construction?” Wang Yao asked.
“In March next year, after the heat ends,” Wang Mingbao said.
“It’s such a long time to wait,” Wang Yao replied.
“In fact, I’m a bit worried that the fund will be used for other purposes after talking to several people in the local government,” Wang Mingbao said.
Wang Yao didn’t say anything. What Wang Mingbao said made sense. It was highly possible that the fund would be used for other purposes. After all, that village was very poor, and Jia County had always struggled with finance. Money was required in many areas. It was not easy to get several million dollars from the provincial government. Everyone in the Jia County local government would want to take some out of it.
“Let’s go there to have a look some time later,” Wang Yao said.
Wang Mingbao agreed. He stayed at Wang Yao’s place for a long time. They then went to Wang Yao’s house for dinner.
Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill early the next day. He needed to prepare herbs for a decoction. The herbs included Sophora, Smilax glabra, hexandrum, Bajiaotong, and Lingshanji.
The last two herbs were licorice roots. Wang Yao only used a small amount. They couldn’t be replaced. They were the final touch of the decoction. They would lift the quality of the decoction significantly.
After he had finished preparing the herbs, he started to read a scripture. Wang Yao’s voice wafted out of the cottage.
San Xian was lying inside his dog house. Da Xia was standing on the tree. Xiaohei was lying in the bush. They were all listening to Wang Yao reading the scripture.
In the village, Sun Zhengrong was not well. His face was pale.
Inside the bathroom, a small plastic basin was half filled with vomit that had blood in it..
Mr. Lin carefully sprayed sulfur in the bathroom to make sure the insects were killed.
“Dad, what’s wrong with you?” Sun Yunsheng asked. He made his father a cup of tea. He was worried about his father.
“Nothing serious. I had a minor injury,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Have you spoken to Dr. Wang about it?” Sun Yunsheng asked.
“Yes, he had prescribed a formula for me. I’m fine. You should go to sleep now,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“OK, Dad, please don’t stay up too late,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“I know,” Sun Zhengrong replied.
Sun Yunsheng bumped into Mr. Lin on his way back to his bed room. Mr. Lin had just finished cleaning the bathroom.
“Uncle Lin, what happened to Dad?” he asked.
“He was injured and has seen Dr. Wang. You don’t need to worry about him,” Mr. Lin said.
“Who injured him?” Sun Yunsheng asked.
“You don’t need to worry about it. Your dad will deal with it,” Mr. Lin said with a smile.
Even if Sun Yunsheng knew the truth, he wouldn’t be able to help his father. Instead, his father’s enemy would probably use him to fight against his father.
Sun Yunsheng went back to his bedroom.
On the way to the living room, Mr. Lin got a call.
“What? I see.” He walked toward the living room slowly after hanging up the phone. Sun Zhengrong was watching TV.
“Master, they followed you back to China,” Mr. Lin said.
“Where are they?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Here in Qi province. They showed up in Dao,” Mr. Lin said.
“Hmm, they do have the guts to come to Dao.” Sun Zhengrong wasn’t worried. Instead, he laughed.
“They seem to have nothing to fear. Maybe they’ve hired someone,” Mr. Lin said.
“You are right. That’s possible. There were one or two old fellows hard to deal with in their old village,” Sun Yunsheng said. “I will return to Dao tomorrow. You stay here to look after Yunsheng.”
“Do you want to ask Dr. Wang for help?” Mr. Lin asked after thinking for a moment.
Mr. Lin thought Wang Yao was a very capable person. Wang Yao knew medicine, and he knew how to restrict those people. If Wang Yao could help, it would be much easier and less risky to fight them.
“No, I don’t want to involve him in this,” Sun Zhengrong said. “He has already helped us a lot.”
Sun Zhengrong sincerely wanted to make friends with Wang Yao. He never wanted to use Wang Yao for any other purposes. He knew Wang Yao was able to save his life if required, so did Mr. Lin. Although Wang Yao was a Kung Fu master, Sun Zhengrong didn’t want to involve him in his own fight. After all, Wang Yao had a family in the village. Sun Zhengrong knew very well what kind of people his enemies were. Some of them were criminals with no moral bottom line.
“Listen, we can’t let Dr. Wang and his family be affected by this,” Sun Zhengrong said seriously.
The next morning, Wang Yao got up early in the morning. He started to brew the decoction after morning exercises. The flame was dancing. Steam was coming out of the multifunctional pot.
It didn’t take Wang Yao long to brew the decoction. It was after 9 a.m. when he left Nanshan Hill.
He had a few patients in the morning. All of them suffered from minor conditions like colds and headaches. Wang Yao didn’t spend a lot of time treating them.
It was nearly 11 a.m. when Lu Xiaomei came to the clinic.
“This is the decoction for you. Same dose as last time.” Wang Yao gave the decoction to Lu Xiaomei.
“Thank you,” Lu Xiaomei said. She left after making payment.
...
In a cafe near the beach at Dao, two person were sitting at a table next to the window. Most of the customers in the cafe were couples.
One of them was a stunning looking young woman. The other was a young man with messy hair. He looked at the young woman gently. He looked a bit like the movie star, Tony Leung.
“Wei, I’m sorry,” the young man said.
“What are you sorry for?” the young woman asked.
“I had my reasons to leave without saying goodbye,” the young man said.
“Really? What good reason? You just disappeared like you never existed. Do you know how I felt at that time?” the young woman asked.
“I’m really sorry,” the young man softly said.
“Never mind, what has happened has happened. We are over,” the young woman said.
“Wei, I won’t leave from now on,” the young man said. “Can you give me a second chance?”
“I have a boyfriend,” the young woman said.
“I still have a chance,” the young man said.
“Not really, I’m going to be engaged,” the young woman replied.
The young man didn’t respond. He just stared at the cup of coffee in front of him. The coffee smelled nice.
“Well, are we still friends?” he asked.
“Friends?” The young woman smiled bitterly. “I’ll see.”
It was very windy at the beach. Tong Wei stood staring at the rolling ocean. She didn’t know what to do after meeting with the young man in the cafe.
For most people, first love was always unforgettable, pure, beautiful, and unique. Some people still couldn’t forget their first love even after they got married.
That young man was Tong Wei’s first love. They used to love each other very much. However, when they decided to get engaged, he had left without saying goodbye. Tong Wei completely lost contact with him. He now suddenly showed up after many years, just like the way he left many years ago. Because of him, an invisible wall had formed between her and Wang Yao.
“Aye!” Tong Wei sighed. The wind made her hair messy.
...
Sun Zhengrong was about to leave the village. He paid another visit to Wang Yao’s clinic before leaving.
“Dr. Wang, how long do you think it will take to remove all the poisonous insects?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Ten days,” Wang Yao replied.
“How many decoctions do I need to take?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Four or five,” Wang Yao said. “Why?”
“Well, I plan to go back to Dao. I want to take some decoctions with me,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“I didn’t brew the decoction for you today. The earliest will be tomorrow,” Wang Yao said.
“That’s fine, I’ll ask Lin to fetch it for me tomorrow,” Sun Zhengrong said.
