Chapter 624: A Sleeping Person Awakening Every Three Days

“Oh, my brother-in-law, you can even pick up poker cards,” the guest said. “You have no problem.”

Playing poker required close cooperation between two hands, each of which were indispensable.

“Well, yes, the doctor also said so. He asked to see me go again in a month.” He Shili smiled. His fingers were not fully recovered and still a little inflexible. But, with consistent practice, he would recover completely.

“How much did it cost?” the guest asked.

“$1,000 in total. $200 each visit,” He Shili said.

“That’s not expensive. As long as it can be cured, it is worth $10,000 let alone just $1,000,” the guest said.

“Yes, I think so,” He Shili’s daughter said.

“Your doctor must be very skillful,” the guest said. “Where is he from?”

“In Wang Jia Village, Songbai Town. It’s a mountain village,” He Shili said.

“Well, I should write that down,” the guest said. “This problem is quite common. A few days ago, Zhao Hongying fell down and couldn’t stand up. But, brother-in-law, you have to pay attention to it. Tell us immediately if you feel any discomfort. Last time, you fell asleep, so treatment was delayed.”

“Oh, yes, I will pay attention to it,” He Shili said.

The family was very happy, especially He Shili. Health was more important than anything and the most worthy of happiness.

…

In Jing…

“My princess, where do you want to go?” Song Ruiping had found that her daughter recently had no appetite for food and drinks. She seemed bored and wanted to take a trip.

“I want to go to Lianshan County,” Su Xiaoxue said without hesitation.

“Where?” Song Ruiping was amazed. “What are you going to do there? Look for Wang Yao?”

“Yes, I have a problem with my practice. I need to consult Mr. Wang,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Problem? What is it? Is it serious?” Song Ruiping hurriedly asked.

She was not in favor of her daughter’s practice of neixi. Although the two elders said it was what countless people asked for, she was still worried something would happen to her daughter. She had euphemistically mentioned it a few times, but her daughter was decisive. So, she did not try to persuade her again. It seemed now something had happened.

“It’s not serious. Don’t worry.” Su Xiaoxue smiled.

“Are you trying to scare me?” Song Ruiping saw her daughter laughing and knew what she was thinking. “Ask Chu Lian to accompany you tomorrow.”

“OK, Mom, you must love me!” Su Xiaoxue was happy as she hugged her mother.

“You are really sweet, but there is one point. When you go out, you have to listen to Chu Lian,” Song Ruiping said.

“I will,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Ah! Song Ruiping sighed softly.

…

In the mountain village, it was raining. It was a fine spring rain.

A group of cars entered the mountain village. They were all luxury cars. There was even a touring car, which was a rare sight in this small county. Many people in the village came out with an umbrella to watch.

“Where are they from? He must be a wealthy man,” a villager said.

“It seems they are looking for Fenghua’s to see a doctor,” another villager said.

“Hey, rich people are different. Is that an RV?” another villager asked.

This was the first time most people in the village had seen a real RV.

Sun Yunsheng came down from the car and entered the clinic since he had already told Wang Yao he was coming. “Sir, sorry to bother you.”

“Is he coming?” Wang Yao asked.

“He just outside,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Have him come in,” Wang Yao said.

Sun Yunsheng went out and said something to the people. The car door opened. Someone was lifted out. Several strong men carried the bed while one held an umbrella. The patient was covered with a quilt.

“Goodness, who is that?” a villager asked.

“He must be a very rich man,” another villager said.

There were more and more onlookers.

The brawny men were very skilled and quick, which showed that this was not the first time they had done this task. The patient was carried into Wang Yao’s clinic.

The man’s cheeks were thin. It seemed like he was only skin and bones. His face was as white as paper. He was in a state of drowsiness and had almost no breath.

“Doctor Wang, this is Zheng Shixiong, Mr. Zheng,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Hello, Dr. Wang.” The head of the people who brought in the patient was a man in his 40s. He had a broad face and thick eyebrows. He wore no smile or expression on his face.

Some would say the man had relatively heavy evil spirits. As for such evil spirits, Wang Yao once felt it in a middle-aged man named Ahao.

“Hello, sit down and put the patient down.” Wang Yao took a closer look at the patient.

The pulse of the young man was very weak, and his heartbeat was very slow. The heartbeat of a normal person was more than 70 times in a minute. This patient’s heartbeat was a little more than 40 times. In normal circumstances, it only happened to people who often exercised.

Drugs!

Wang Yao quickly guessed that someone might have given him some special medicine to maintain the state. “How long has the patient been in this situation?”

“The drowsiness state has been kept for more than half a year, and he was sick for about a year,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“What medicine has he taken recently?” Wang Yao asked.

Zheng Shixiong hesitated. “He has taken a kind of Miao medicine.”

“Miao medicine? Is it from Miao Territory?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“Is it from the King Pharmacist?” Wang Yao asked.

“Dr. Wang also knows of him?” Zheng Shixiong’s eyes lit up.

“I have heard a little about him,” Wang Yao said.

“Goodness,” Zheng Shixiong muttered under his breath. After all, one was in the south, and the other north.

“Is the medicine indeed from King Pharmacist?” Wang Yao asked again. “Have you seen him?”

“Not him, but his disciple,” Zheng Shixiong said. “We tried to see the Pharmacist King, but he refused. We found his disciple, but the medicine is from the Pharmacist King. It can delay the collapse of the body and let people be in a state of sleep.”

“How often does he wake up?” Wang Yao asked.

“Every three days,” Zheng Shixiong replied.

He awakened every three days and was fed with a unique food. He continued to take the drug to maintain the sleep state.

After inspecting the patient, Wang Yao had a detailed understanding of his condition. His body’s multiple organs were debilitating. Various toxins had accumulated in his body and could not be effectively resolved and discharged. In summary, his condition was hopeless.

“Dr. Wang, is there any way to help him?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“I can try, but you have to listen to me during the process of treatment,” Wang Yao said. “Keep in mind that I am not sure I can cure him.”

“No problem,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“I will have him take some medicine first.” Wang Yao took out a Nine Herbs pill and gave it to the patient.

The young man’s physical condition was like a broken ship with many holes. In a storm, he might be overturned at any time. His physical condition was like those at the terminal stage of an incurable disease because the infection in his body could not be eliminated by general medicine, which was the most terrible and troublesome point.

“Dr. Wang could you please tell me about the treatment plan?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“We need to consolidate his corporeity, activate the blood, and eliminate the toxins,” Wang Yao briefly said. “Last will be restoring the vitality of his body.”

“How long the treatment will last?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“I am not sure,” Wang Yao said.

“Got it.” Zheng Shixiong said.

He immediately asked a person to go make arrangements. He turned to Sun Yunsheng and asked, “can we borrow your house for a while?”

“Yes,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“No matter what happens, we’ll remember your kindness,” Zheng Shixiong said.

“You are too polite,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Dr. Wang, what else do you need me to do?” Zheng Shixiong asked.

“Give him the medicine tomorrow morning,” Wang Yao said.

“OK, thank you.” Zheng Shixiong arranged people to carry the patient out of the clinic.

“Dr. Wang, I will go with him,” Sun Yunsheng said.

He left with them and led them to his house.

“Does Dr. Wang have some taboos or any rules we need to comply with?” Zheng Shixiong whispered.

When they had gone to the Miao Territory, they unintentionally breached the rules set by the Pharmacist King. This had made him furious enough to expel them and deny them treatment for life. They would not have even seen the eldest disciple if they had not spend a lot of money and used their personal relationship.

“Rules? You can’t go to his home or disturb his family. Keep a low profile as much as possible in the village,” Sun Yunsheng said.
