“Dr. Wang, is the medicine used this time a bit different from the one last time?” she asked gently.
“Yes, I’ve made a few changes, but the main ingredients are still the same.”
“It won’t have any problems, will it?”
“No.”
The medicine was still the original formula, just thicker. In fact, the effect would only be better.
However, Song Ruiping’s face was full of worry. Obviously, she was worried about her own daughter. She knew almost nothing about the medical field, but she knew that any change was risky.
“Don’t worry, Madam Song. It’ll be alright.”
Wang Yao comforted her after the treatment ended.
“Okay,” Song Ruiping replied softly.
The layer of gauze was well restored. Lying on the bed, the patient was still unable to move.
Her illness was so severe that it already penetrated into all parts of her body. It was a miracle to stay alive until now.
“Has the medicine I gave her been consumed all the time?”
“It’s been taken on time.”
“Good. Judging from the pulse, her condition is always improving,” Wang Yao said. Although the process was very slow, her condition was indeed getting better.
Diseases came on horseback but went away on foot.
This sentence was absolutely right. Many diseases come rapidly like a landslide, whereas treatment required a relatively slow process, just like reeling silk from a cocoon. Needless to say, headaches and cold would also only recover after a few days.
“What if, the Muscle Revitalization powder is directly consumed internally, combining it with the external use?” All of a sudden, such an idea popped up in Wang Yao’s mind.
“Bring a teacup over.”
Since the idea was thought of, it was tried as soon as possible.
“Dr. Wang, here’s the teacup you wanted.”
Wang Yao poured out a small portion of the Muscle Revitalization powder.
“Dilute it with warm water and let her consume it.”
“Alright.”
In an instant, there was medical staff who followed Wang Yao’s instruction to dilute the Muscle Revitalization powder and then carefully let Su Xiaoxue consume the medicine.
Disregarding all else, the temporary effect was very good. Su Xiaoxue who was lying on the bed only felt that a flow of refreshing sensation had entered her body. The burning feeling had mostly subsided at the parts where the medicine passed through, just like a river flowing through a desert.
Of course, the feeling was only known to her and could not be shared with others.
“No problem.”
Wang Yao made a remark after checking the pulse.
Before leaving, Wang Yao consumed the medicine before. Therefore, he knew the effects of internally consuming the Muscle Revitalization powder.
“Let her consume the medicine in time. I’ll leave now.”
“Let me walk you to the door,” Song Ruiping suggested.
In the past few days, she had not done anything else, only accompanying her daughter at home. Every time Wang Yao came over to treat her daughter, she would always be by the side, and personally send him out of the door every single time. She never treated a younger person this way, except towards the elders in the past.
“Get home safe.”
“Alright, goodbye.”
Wang Yao and Chen Ying traveled by foot to Su Xiaoxue’s house.
There were not many pedestrians going to the residence and fewer vehicles coming and going. There should be some sort of restrictions when entering, so it was comparatively quiet at night.
“Did your brother like to read martial arts novels a lot when he went to school?” Wang Yao asked suddenly.
Surprised, Chen Ying answered with a hint of curiosity, “Yes, how did you know?”
“It can be inferred from the words he said today.”
“He likes to read novels and admires the heroes in the novels. When he was younger, he wanted to learn Kungfu and become an ace in martial arts,” Chen Ying explained.
“Did he suddenly get sick?”
“You can say so. His head was injured before. Since then, he suffered from this illness, which was fine at times and bad at times.”
“Is he awake most of the time?”
“Yes, he’s awake for most of the time. However, as his illness gets more severe, the amount of time of him being awake becomes shorter and shorter,” Chen Ying replied.
The hospital where her brother was hospitalized was also divided into several treatment areas according to the patient’s illness. Her brother’s condition was better, so he was located within a treatment area. Moreover, Chen Ying obviously spent a lot of money. Therefore, when he saw her younger brother, it could be seen that his living conditions there were pretty decent.
“Have you invited Dr. Chen and Dr. Li to take a look?”
Wang Yao had a deep impression of the two elders. Judging from Song Ruiping’s attitude towards them, they were presumably the “holy hands of Xing Lin.”
“I have asked Chen Lao to have a look. He also personally did the injection, and there was a positive effect. It may be better if the treatment can be continued,” Chen Ying said.
“Then why was the treatment not continued?”
“What’s the identity of Chen Lao, and what’s my identity?” Chen Ying responded with some bitterness in her smile.
Wang Yao stiffened slightly after hearing, then he was silent for quite some time.
It was indeed the truth, not just in the Chinese medicine field, but also in normal hospitals. It was quite troublesome for normal people to meet famous specialists and get them to diagnose or treat an illness. First, these doctors had remarkable medical skills. Therefore, more people would seek them for medical consultations. As there were more people, it was natural to pile up. Secondly, on normal days, there were always patients with higher social statuses visiting them, one being a humble citizen, another being a person with social status. Unless they were very ethical, most of them would make the same judgment.
In this society, being ethical was normally considered as “not knowing how to manipulate others.”
Just like Wang Yao, he was afraid that some people would also describe him as a loner.
“Don’t worry too much. There will always be a change in things.” Wang Yao could only comfort her this way.
“Well, thank you.”
After arriving at the small courtyard, Wang Yao returned to his own room, recording the treatment process this morning. At the same time, he also jotted down the condition of Chen Ying’s brother.
“Injection, acupuncture!” Wang Yao really wanted to master this medical skill.
He opened the system panel.
To learn acupuncture, the basic four laws of “looking, hearing, asking and diagnosing” must be fully mastered. He still had to learn the laws of “looking and diagnosing.” To learn this ability, he had to level up. Judging from his current situation, he was afraid that it would still take quite some time.
“There’s still a long way to go!”
That night, the air was a bit stuffy. It was almost June and, so the weather should be getting hot.
Normal people would choose to turn on the fan at that moment, but Wang Yao felt great. He could feel the heat, but it did not affect him. When a certain level of Kungfu was achieved, both the hot and cold could not invade a person. Wang Yao had now reached this level. His body constitution was exceptional, on top of his marvelous internal strength achievement. Moreover, the situation in the small courtyard was still slightly better.
After midnight, it rained outside.
The next day, the sky in Jing City became so much more azure, possibly because of the rain the night before.
It was a cloudless blue sky. The sky had really been washed.
About nine o’clock in the morning, Chen Boyuan came to the small courtyard and brought a document.
“What does this mean?” Wang Yao was startled.
“This small courtyard is yours, Dr. Wang.”
“What?!” Wang Yao was shocked.
This was Jing City where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. In such a location, this quaint, little courtyard must be worth so much money. It was not a problem of a few million. It must be worth over a 100 million.
“This gift is too generous. I won’t accept it,” Wang Yao said without hesitating.
“Please accept it.”
“Please go back and inform Madam Song that I won’t accept this gift.”
At that moment, Wang Yao finally understood the reason for Madam Song visiting yesterday afternoon and asking him that question. It turned out that she wanted to give the small courtyard to Wang Yao as a present.
With such generous spending, wealthy nobles were indeed different!
Chen Boyuan also figured out that there would be such a situation before coming.
“This property is already under your name,” he said with a smile.
“If that is the case, then I will have to leave Jing City,” Wang Yao replied calmly.
If he accepted such a generous gift, did that not mean that he would be tied to the Su family?
“What?!” Chen Boyuan was somewhat in a difficult situation.
“This house is considered your house call fee.”
“It doesn’t need to be this expensive!”
What doctor could receive a house just by making a house call?!
“I’ll go back and talk to Madam.”
“Alright.”
After coming out from the small courtyard, Chen Boyuan said while shaking his head, “What a stubborn weirdo!”
He knew that Wang Yao’s personality was unusual, but he did not expect that when faced with such a temptation, Wang Yao would not hesitate to decline. If he were Wang Yao, he was afraid that he would think for a long time. He would very likely accept the gift.
After Chen Boyuan left, Wang Yao walked back and forth in the small courtyard. The feeling that he could not stay in this courtyard anymore intensified. The courtyard might become his if he did.
