229 There Was No Immortal Person in This World (1/2)
Wang Yao was about to leave after having a chat with Song Ruiping and her husband, but Song Ruiping stopped him.
”Just a moment, Dr. Wang,” said Song Ruiping.
”What is it?” asked Wang Yao.
”Could you treat Xiaoxue's ulcers on her face next time?” asked Song Ruiping anxiously.
”Face?” Wang Yao was surprised, but he immediately got what Song Ruiping meant.
What did a young person care about most? Not his or her career or job—it was their image, or face, to be precise. A young girl would care about her looks even more. That was why most girls would spend hours dressing themselves up or putting on makeup.
The girl lying in the bed was no exception. She had hoped to see her beautiful face in the mirror again many times. She would be happy if she could see that image just once.
”Sure, I'll try,” said Wang Yao.
He had tried the decoction on Su Xiaoxue's palm, and it proved to be effective. Therefore, it should be fine to apply the decoction on her face.
”Thank you,” said Song Ruiping.
She and her husband walked Wang Yao out of the house. Dr. Chen and Dr. Li also left afterwards.
”Did you see the decoction?” asked Dr. Chen.
”Yes, it's magical!” said Dr. Li.
”I've tasted that decoction and applied some on my skin,” said Dr. Chen.
”Really? What does it consist of?” asked Dr. Li eagerly.
”I could only figure out a few herbs in it. I still can't tell what the main ones are, and can't think of what herbs would have such a magical effect,” said Dr. Chen.
”Where on earth did that young man learn medicine to become such an extraordinary doctor?” wondered Dr. Li.
”I've asked him, but he won't tell me,” said Dr. Chen.
”I would be surprised if he had told you,” said Dr. Li.
”What a shame it is to allow such a good doctor to hide in such a small town,” said Dr. Chen.
”Why not? I think it is pretty good to have a quiet life in a small town. Haven't you had enough in recent years?” said Dr. Li.
”The young doctor's knowledge of herbs is probably what had failed to be handed down through the generations,” said Dr. Chen.
”So what? You want everyone to know about it? Your own knowledge would probably be failed to pass to the next generation!” said Dr. Li.
The two of them were arguing while walking, then went back to their homes.
Wang Yao and Chen Ying found someone waiting at the door of the cottage when they arrived at the front of the cottage. It was an elegant girl standing under the bright light.
The girl was as pretty as a flower or a picture.
”How come you didn't tell me you were visiting Beijing,” said the girl who had a beautiful smile.
”I didn't want to disrupt you,” said Wang Yao.
The visitor was Miss Guo, Guo Sirou.
”Please come in.” Wang Yao invited Guo Sirou into the cottage.
The three of them went into the front yard then entered the living room.
”Did you go to Xiaoxue's house just now?” asked Guo Sirou.
”Yes, I just went to see her,” said Wang Yao.
”Has she gotten better?” asked Guo Sirou.
”Yes,” replied Wang Yao.
”How long are you going to stay in Beijing this time?” asked Guo Sirou.
”It depends on Xiaoxue's condition. I want to improve her condition significantly,” said Wang Yao.
”When are you available to come to my house?” asked Guo Sirou.
”How about tomorrow?” replied Wang Yao after thinking for a while. He really couldn't turn Guo Sirou down.
”Okay,” said Guo Sirou.
The purpose of her visit was to establish a good working relationship with Wang Yao as she wanted Wang Yao to see her grandpa.
”Call me if you need me whenever you are in Beijing,” said Guo Sirou.
”Sure, thank you,” said Wang Yao.
Guo Sirou left after staying for more than ten minutes.
After she had left, Wang Yao returned to his room. He documented the treatment process and Su Xiaoxue's progress in his notebook. He also analyzed areas he could improve. Although Muscle Revitalizing powder had worked on Su Xiaoxue—it had healed some of the ulcers and made new muscles grow—it wouldn't solve all of Su Xiaoxue's problems. Su Xiaoxue had other issues requiring attention. He needed to address them as well.
Wang Yao didn't go to sleep until it was past 10 pm.
He got up early in the morning the next day and started to practice Chinese boxing in the front yard. While he was practicing, he felt the Qi inside him running like a dragon, and he had only one meridian left in his body to unblock.
As soon as the last meridian was unblocked, his internal Qi could run throughout his body. It was the so-called large circle of vital energy which would go on and on and never stop.
He almost unblocked the meridian.
Wang Yao didn't exert himself to unblock the meridians. He stopped practicing and went to have breakfast.
While he was having breakfast, he had a distinguished guest, a young man with a shiny smile. It was Guo Sirou's brother, Guo Zhenghe, who was saved by Wang Yao once.
”Hello, Mr. Guo,” greeted Chen Ying with a smile.
”Hello. I've told you many times, just call me Zhenghe. I'm not gonna be happy if you keep calling me Mr. Guo, Ying,” said Guo Zhenghe with a smile.
As he was speaking, he entered the living room where Wang Yao was having breakfast.
”When did you come to Beijing, Dr. Wang?” asked Guo Zhenghe.
”Two days ago,” replied Wang Yao.
”Why didn't you tell me you were here? I wouldn't have known you were here if I hadn't had bumped into my sister,” said Guo Zhenghe with a smile.
”I didn't want to disrupt you,” said Wang Yao honestly.
”You aren't disrupting at all! You traveled thousands of miles to Beijing. You are our distinguished guest. We should welcome you. How long are you going to stay here this time?” asked Guo Zhenghe.
”It will depend on Su Xiaoxue's condition,” said Wang Yao.
”Since you are already here, why not stay longer so that I can show you around,” said Guo Zhenghe.
”I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me,” said Wang Yao.
”Do you have any arrangements today?” asked Guo Zhenghe.
”Yes,” said Wang Yao.
”That's fine. Let's catch up on another day,” said Guo Zhenghe.
