"Eh . " w.a.n.g Yao rubbed his forehead . Speaking from the heart, he wasn't hoping to meet with such an important person . At least for now, he didn't want to meet with him . After all, the man was a ruler and w.a.n.g Yao himself was just a pauper . He just wants to live a calm and quiet life, not wanting too much contact with these descendants of feudal rulers . However, since he had already put out the request to meet with w.a.n.g Yao before, putting off this request once meant that putting it off a second time could not happen . And it is also likely he doesn't want to cause anyone to 'lose face' .

"What's the matter, Yao?" Zhang Xiuying said in a low voice .

"Oh, it's nothing . I was just pondering something, that's all," said w.a.n.g Yao grinning .

After eating a meal at his house, w.a.n.g Yao went back to Nanshan hill . He went up to the mountaintop to recite a scroll of scripture . All those annoying problems he was dealing with earlier seemed to just disappear .

The next day in the early morning, he had just finished working when he received a phone call . It was Zhou Xiong . He said he wanted to invite w.a.n.g Yao over for dinner to show his grat.i.tude .

"No, no! You really shouldn't!" said w.a.n.g Yao over the phone .

After that, he also heard that Zhou Xiong's father rushed over to Lianshan County, insistent on thanking him face-to-face . w.a.n.g Yao thought about it for a moment before he decided to go and see them . After all, Zhou Xiong's father did come a long way just to thank him . Besides, if he didn't go, then maybe they would just go looking for him at his home .

After telling his family, w.a.n.g Yao drove out to Lianshan County .

Zhou Xiong arranged a table at the best hotel in Lianshan to host w.a.n.g Yao .

While there, w.a.n.g Yao saw Zhou Xiong's mother, father, and little sister . His parents seemed to be filled with vitality . Even though their hair was gray, their bodies were still very strong and full of stamina . They had a special vigor about them .

Zhou Xiong's little sister was in the military . She seemed to be older in age than w.a.n.g Yao by a few years . He couldn't say whether she was elegant or charming, but she did seem to be very bold and brave .

The family took a plane last night and arrived this morning in Lianshan County . After seeing his grandson's improved condition, Zhou Xiong's father was shocked and overjoyed . He loved his grandson dearly and he just couldn't get used to his grandson being sick . Zhou Xiong's father couldn't say whether he had ma.s.sively improved or not, but his grandson did look better . But this was only a mere ten days' work . Just for that, Zhou Xiong strongly insisted on having this skilled and mysterious doctor come to see him so he could properly express his thanks to him .

Upon seeing him personally, they all quietly gasped at w.a.n.g Yao . How Young! they all thought in unison . This type of person, being so young, yet skillful, was rarely seen!

w.a.n.g Yao smiled at them and said h.e.l.lo; he was very polite . After everyone took a seat, their food arrived shortly after . There was so much food that they couldn't even finish it all .

Since w.a.n.g Yao drove, he didn't drink any alcohol and the Zhou family also didn't pressure him into drinking . They were all very kind and warm to him and expressed feelings of grat.i.tude towards him . According to them, Kang's sickness made their hearts heavy . Now, having w.a.n.g Yao's treatment and seeing the obvious change for the better, they believed that this was a deserving time for a celebration .

The family's kind grat.i.tude made w.a.n.g Yao unable to stand it any longer .

This was his first time dealing with this kind of situation . He could only be cautious and respectful in his responses . The more modest he appeared, the more Zhou Xiong's mother and father thought he was unusual . If it wasn't for him driving and not being able to drink, they would have certainly tried to get him plastered with alcohol .

"Doctor w.a.n.g, I have a small request," said Zhou Xiong's parents loudly after having a few drinks .

"What is it?"

"Don't drive next time . Let's all drink together . What do you think?"

"Sure!" w.a.n.g Yao said with a smile . After this brief encounter talking with them, he thought the old man was an ordinary, tempered man . He was a likable, respectable man worth a.s.sociating with .

"It's a date, come on! Let's drink to it!"

After it was all over, w.a.n.g Yao took his leave . The entire family stood by watching as he left .

"I would have never imagined that there existed such a person in our city . He is not only an amazing doctor, but his style and quality of speech are also extraordinary . He seems to have a lofty disposition," Zhou Xiong's parents exclaimed .

"I would have never imagined that there existed such a person in our city . He is not only an amazing doctor, but his style and quality of speech are also extraordinary . He seems to have a lofty disposition," Zhou Xiong's parents exclaimed .

"I know! If it wasn't for me seeing and experiencing it for myself, I wouldn't believe it," said Zhou Xiong .

"How long does Kang need treatment for?"

"He didn't say . But he was sure it needed more time . I already found an apartment nearby to rent temporarily . It is quieter . After his sickness is cured, we will come back here," said Zhou Xiong .

"Yeah, I think it is better this way . "

"One other thing—Dad, little sis, this must be kept a secret . We absolutely cannot let this be known . The doctor said because of our situation, he almost destroyed a friends.h.i.+p . " Zhou Xiong did not forget to remind his family .

"There is no need to say more . I know how it is . When we were about to leave, I explained it to your mother . This is a family matter that only we know of . If anyone lets this get out, they will be punished!"

Instead of rus.h.i.+ng back, w.a.n.g Yao stopped by the medicine shop on the way home to see if the herbs he ordered came in or not .

After manager Lee saw him drive in, he went out personally to greet him .

"You came and didn't even tell me you were coming," manager Lee said with a smile .

Upon entering the room, he poured a gla.s.s of water for w.a.n.g Yao .

"Don't get all busy now . I just stopped by on the way home . Did the herbs I ordered come in yet?"

"No, not yet . They will be here tomorrow . If you tell me where, I will send them to your home when they arrive," said manager Lee .

"No, not yet . They will be here tomorrow . If you tell me where, I will send them to your home when they arrive," said manager Lee .

"Tomorrow? That's okay, I will just come back tomorrow . "

w.a.n.g Yao had to go back to the city tomorrow anyways to attend a banquet .

"Well alrighty then!" said manager Lee .

Just as manager Lee was talking with w.a.n.g Yao, he suddenly clutched his stomach and his face contorted in pain . Cold sweat poured from his forehead as he quickly reached for a bottle of medicine in his pocket . He unscrewed the lid and dumped a few pills into his mouth . Then he took a gla.s.s of tea off the table and washed down the medicine . Not long after, the expression on his face smoothed out a little bit .

"Manager Lee, are you ok?" w.a.n.g Yao asked upon seeing this unfold .

"Just a stomachache . It's an old problem I have . You probably want to ridicule me!" manager Lee said laughing .

"An illness should be cured! And when you take your medicine, you can't just take it with tea . Some types of medicines should not be taken with tea," said w.a.n.g Yao as a friendly reminder .

"Haha, okay . So you really understand the art of healing, eh?" Manager Lee asked curiously after hearing his response .

"I understand a little," said w.a.n.g Yao .

"Really? Then could you take a look at me?" manager Lee said laughing . He wasn't being serious when he asked .

"Drink some tea and wait a moment," said w.a.n.g Yao .

After a moment, w.a.n.g Yao motioned to manager Lee to stretch out his arms . He carried over a towel he found and began to check his pulse .

"You seem like a real doctor!" He didn't expect w.a.n.g Yao to take his joke that seriously .

After a moment, w.a.n.g Yao motioned to manager Lee to stretch out his arms . He carried over a towel he found and began to check his pulse .

"You seem like a real doctor!" He didn't expect w.a.n.g Yao to take his joke that seriously .

But at this moment, manager Lee had already taken some medicine . This certainly had an impact on his pulse . w.a.n.g Yao squinted his eyes in concentration as he put out his hand to check Lee's pulse . His pulse was not good and his digestive system suffered from the damage . It had been like this for quite some time and he couldn't get treatment in time to cure the problem . Lee could only rely on medicine to keep his problem under control . It was like trying to suppress a fire . If you couldn't suppress it and you didn't tell anyone, sooner or later the fire was going to break out .

At that time, the disease would only get worse and worse .

Lee had a serious illness and it had to be cured! The sooner the better—no more putting it off . w.a.n.g Yao drew back his hand and became silent .

"What is it?" manager Lee quickly asked after seeing his reaction .

"Manager Lee, forgive me if I ask this but . . . when was the last time you went to the hospital for a checkup?"

"About half a year ago?" manager Lee said . "What's wrong?"

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you probably had your digestive system checked for problems too, right? Especially you stomach area; it may have been inflammation?"

"That's right!" manager Lee was dumbfounded after hearing w.a.n.g Yao say this .

At that time, he was having regular checkups when he found out he indeed did have inflammation . It was serious . The doctor at that time prescribed him some medicine and told him to stay away from food that caused irritation . He especially needed to cut out alcohol . During that time, he did heed the doctor's warnings for some time, but even with his stomach slowly dying, he still gradually could not control his urges . Because of work relations and the get-togethers they included, alcohol naturally followed along, and he became addicted again . During this period of time, his problems came back and the stomach pains were a lot worse .

"Listen to me, manager Lee . Go immediately to the hospital and have your system examined, especially your stomach," w.a.n.g Yao said seriously .

Because the state of his illness didn't seem very optimistic, he certainly could not put it off any longer .  After hearing this, manager Lee was very shocked .

"Kid, I will take your advice . I will go get checked now . "

Eh . w.a.n.g Yao rubbed his forehead . Speaking from the heart, he wasnt hoping to meet with such an important person . At least for now, he didnt want to meet with him .
