272 A Place Full of Trouble (1/2)

They ordered six main dishes, two cold dishes, and one set of soup.

It was a bit too much for two people to have nine courses; they finished only half of the dishes, and then the servers took away the rest.

”There is a rule here: you have to take the food you can not finish,” said Guo Sirou with a smile.

”That is a good rule,” said Wang Yao, returning the smile as he put food into the take away boxes.

”Do you want to take some?” asked Guo Sirou.

”Sure, thank you,” said Wang Yao.

Guo Sirou drove Wang Yao back to the cottage, then stayed for a while before leaving.

The next morning, Wang Yao and Chen Ying went to the mental health rehabilitation facility where Chen Ying's brother stayed.

Chen Ying's brother was alert and normal at the beginning of the visit. He talked and behaved the same way as a normal person. But his eyes changed after five minutes.

Here we go!

Wang Yao took Chen Ying's brother's wrist immediately to check his pulse.

”Who are you guys? Where is this place?” asked Chen Ying's brother.

He was starting a psychotic episode.

”Let me go!” shouted Chen Ying's brother.

He tried his best to get rid of Wang Yao's hand with blue veins showing on his face. However, he couldn't.

”There have been consistent troubles for two hundred years. When you look back, winning or losing no longer matters. The nameless sword no longer exists in the world!” murmured Chen Ying's brother.

This is so weird!

Wang Yao let Chen Ying's brother go.

He couldn't figure out Chen Ying's brother's condition at this point. It had always been hard to treat mental illnesses.

Wang Yao didn't know how to treat Chen Ying's brother.

He and Chen Ying had to leave as visiting time ended.

”You said he had a head injury when he was a little boy. When exactly was the injury?” asked Wang Yao.

”He had the injury when he was six years old. However, he only had his first psychotic episode a few years ago,” said Chen Ying.

”Did anything trigger the episode?” asked Wang Yao.

”I don't think so as far as I am aware of,” said Chen Ying.

”I see. Don't worry too much about it. Let me think about it,” said Wang Yao.

”Okay, thanks,” said Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying was already very appreciative that Wang Yao would go to see her brother in person. She knew her brother's condition was very hard to treat.

Wang Yao went to visit his aunt again in the afternoon.

His cousin had been transferred to a better high school, but Zhang Xiufang was still worried about her daughter. It made Zhang Xiufang's chest ache to see her daughter sad and unhappy.

”Auntie, she will eventually get over that boy. Don't worry too much,” said Wang Yao.

”I know,” said Zhang Xiufang.

”I plan to return to Lianshan tomorrow. Do you want me to do anything before I leave?” asked Wang Yao.

”No, thank you, Yao. You've done a lot for us,” said Zhang Xiufang.

Thanks to Wang Yao, Li Na was able to transfer to a different high school smoothly, and Zhang Xiufang could swap jobs. Wang Yao had done her family two big favors.

”You are welcome. This is the least I can do for my family,” said Wang Yao.

”Stay here for dinner tonight,” said Zhang Xiufang.

”No, thanks, I still have some errands to run. I won't have time to come here to say goodbye to you tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

”That's fine. I wish you a safe trip, and say hello to your parents for me,” said Zhang Xiufang.

”Sure,” said Wang Yao.

He then said goodbye to Sun Zhengrong, who asked him about the future treatment plans anxiously.

It was gloomy with a sticky heat in the morning. Wang Yao went to do the last treatment for Su Xiaoxue before he left.

He continued to focus on removing the toxins in her body, unblocking the meridians, nourishing her tendons, and activating her blood.

”Take care,” said Wang Yao with a smile after the treatment.

”Thank you, Dr. Wang.” Su Xiaoxue's voice was no longer as hoarse. Her eyes were still bright.

”Have a safe trip,” said Su Xiaoxue softly, knowing that Wang Yao was going to leave Beijing.

”Thank you, take care of yourself,” said Wang Yao.

Suddenly, Wang Yao wanted to see what Su Xiaoxue would look like once she had fully recovered.

”Let's work together to make you better,” said Wang Yao.

”Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue with her mouth curved up slightly.

She should be smiling.

”Ms. Song, can I talk to you?” asked Wang Yao.

Song Ruiping led Wang Yao out of the room.

”It's okay for her to take the decoctions I gave you,” said Wang Yao.

As a clever woman, Song Ruiping surely knew what Wang Yao meant.

”Of course,” said Song Ruiping.

She walked Wang Yao out of the house and watched him getting into the car. Then, she turned around and returned to the house. She put the two decoctions Wang Yao left for Su Xiaoxue in a safe place.

She had shown the decoctions Wang Yao had given her after the last two treatment sessions to Dr. Chen, and she asked Dr. Chen to take a small portion of each decoction to the laboratory. She tried to extrapolate the ingredients using advanced equipment. However, the results were not as well done as she had expected. The decoctions worked on her daughter due to the combination of herbs, not due to one single herb.

Wang Yao's flight was at two pm. Chen Ying made lunch and drove Wang Yao to the airport afterward.
