“I’ll brew a decoction for you tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Wang Fenghua.

There was no wind at night. It was hot and humid.

A lot of villagers were sitting or standing on the street to cool down, although it was not much cooler outside. There was no wind inside out.

A few villagers said hello to Wang Yao. They knew Wang Yao went to Nanshan hill every night and no longer thought it was a weird thing. They had stopped gossiping about Wang Yao. They talked more about Wang Chengchang.

Wang Yao didn’t pay much attention to those gossip. However, he actually wanted to see Wang Chengchang, who got ill because of a haunted house.

After he had gone back to Nanshan hill, he started to prepare for the herbs to brew a decoction for his father the next day. He had brewed a same decoction before. It was not a difficult job.

The next morning, Wang Yao started to brew the decoction when it was still cool outside. As soon as he had finished brewing the decoction, he phone rang. It was Professor Lu calling him. Professor Lu had arrived at Lianshan with his relative who was ill. He just wanted to know when Wang Yao was available.

After making an appointment to see Professor Lu’s relative, Wang Yao left Nanshan hill. He brought the decoction to his father and advised him to take the decoction regularly. Wang Fenghua was smoking, his cigarette was taken away by Wang Yao right away.

“You shouldn’t smoke in the morning. How about inhaling some fresh air instead,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Fenghua didn’t say anything, he just smiled.

Wang Yao took a look at Wang Fenghua after he had taken the decoction, then left for his clinic.

Professor Lu brought a middle-aged woman to the clinic. She seemed to be at similar age with Professor Lu, but her hair had turned greyish white. She didn’t look well, but Wang Yao could tell from her eyes and her look that she used to be a pretty woman when she was young.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” said Professor Lu.

“Hello, Professor Lu,” said Wang Yao.

“This is He Wan.” Professor Lu introduced the middle-aged woman to Wang Yao.

“Hello Ms He, please come in,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said He Wan.

She seemed to be weak while walking. Her face was pale, and she was short of breath.

She is quite ill, thought Wang Yao.

“I’ll make you a cup of tea,” said Wang Yao.

“Thank you,” said He Wan.

“Can you please take a look at her?” said Professor Lu.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

He checked her pulse.

What is this?!

Wang Yao looked up at He Wan, then Professor Lu after a moment.

Renal failure!

He Wan was suffering from a well-known disease, uremia, which had caused renal failure.

Renal failure was unlikely to be cured even with advanced medical technology nowadays. The only way to cure Renal failure was kidney transplant. However there was a big shortage of kidney. Even a patient suffering from renal failure had kidney transplant, his or her body could be resistant to the new kidney. The other way to treat renal failure but couldn’t cure it was Hemodialysis, which could cost a lot, and couldn’t completely cure renal failure.

Professor Lu’s eyes were full of hope. He knew what medical condition the middle-age woman had, and was aware that she was unlikely to be cured. However, he still hoped Wang Yao could make a miracle.

“Renal failure, which is very hard to treat,” said Wang Yao.

“Yes, I know. We’ve been waiting for a suitable kidney for transplant. Could you please do anything to reduce her symptoms and pain?” asked Professor Lu.

A patient suffering from renal failure often experienced tiredness, nausea, and even unconsciousness. The illness didn’t just affect one single organ, it affected a number of organs.

From a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist’s point of view, Wang Yao needed to make her kidneys function again if he wanted to reduce her symptoms. However, it was extremely difficult to make a dying kidney to function again. It was like mending a scarred and battered old boat, which could be more difficulty than building a brand new boat.

Is it considered an illness very difficulty to treat? asked Wang Yao in his mind.

Yes, replied the system

The system gave him an answer without doubt.

“Well, I can try. However, two things you need to be clear. First, it will be long process to treat renal failure. Second, I can’t guarantee that I can make her better,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, we are happy to give it a go,” said Professor Lu.

“You can go back for now. I will let you know once I come up with a treatment plan,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Professor Lu.

“Professor Lu, I have a small gift for you,” said Wang Yao.

“Yes?” said Professor Lu in surprise.

Wang Yao took out a little porcelain bottle, which contained three newly brewed herbal pills.

“You can take the pills inside when you don’t feel well. The pills will make you feel comfortable,” said Wang Yao.

“Thank you.” Professor Lu took the porcelain bottle.

“What is the name of the pill?” asked Professor Lu.

“Nine herb pill,” said Wang Yao.

Professor Lu and He Wan left the clinic. Wang Yao started to think of treatment methods for renal failure.

That Dr. Wang looks so young,” said He Wan after she had come out of the clinic.

“Wan, don’t judge a person by the look. This Dr. Wang is an extraordinary doctor, although he is very young. He has once cured me, and I’ve heard that he has cured quite a few people who couldn’t get any better through the hospital system,” said Professor Lu.

“Really?” said He Wan.

“I hope he can reduce your symptoms before we find the best kidney for you,” said Professor Lu.

“I hope so,” said He Wan with a smile, although she didn’t have much faith in Wang Yao.

After they had just left the village, He Wan suddenly had a spasm in her body. She looked very unwell.

“What’s wrong?” Professor Lu pulled over the car immediately.

“I’m fine.” He Wan was rummaging her medication in her handbag.

“Wan, take this.” Professor Lu gave He Wan one of the pills Wang Yao gave him. He Wan took it and put it into her mouth.

The pill melt immediately and became a warm current running into He Wan’s belly. Then the warm feeling expanded to her trunk and limbs.

After a moment, He Wan breathed a big sigh. She looked much better.

“How do you feel now?” asked Professor Lu.

“I feel much better. This pill is magical!” exclaimed He Wan.

She had taken a lot of medication for her condition. All the medications were imported. However, none of those medication worked better than Wang Yao’s pill.

“I’ll leave the other two pills to you for emergency,” said Professor Lu.

“Okay, thank you,” said He Wan.

Professor Lu knew that Wang Yao gave him the herbal pills because he designed Wang Yao’s clinic. Wang Yao just wanted to return the favor. It wouldn’t be easy to get the same pills again in the future.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao was still in his clinic.

He was still thinking of He Wan’s illness. He was thinking of kidney tissue regeneration.

Rotten muscles could be regenerated, how about damaged organs?

He thought about Muscle Revitalizing powder.

He didn’t expect he would see two patients with conditions hard to treat in two days.

What a coincidence!

Meanwhile, Tian Yuantu was visiting Secretary Yang’s mother.

“Yuantu, has Dr. Wang opened his own clinic?” asked a nice elderly lady.

“Yes, but not officially open yet,” said Tian Yuantu.

“Good, then I can go to see him in his clinic,” said the lady.

“That’s a good idea. He won’t have much time to go to patient’s home,” said Tian Yuantu. Wang Yao indicated he would see most of his patients in his clinic in the future.

“Sounds good. I get bored staying at home all the time anyway. It’s good to have a chance to go out,” said Secretary Yang’s mother.

“About this, maybe you can discuss it with Secretary Yang first,” suggested Tian Yuantu.

“Okay, I will discuss it with Haichuan,”s aid Secretary Yang’s mother with a smile.

Wang Ru came home in the afternoon. She put her things down and then went to Wang Yao’s clinic.

“Your clinic looks good,” said Wang Ru after walking around the clinic.

“It’s not weekend today. What brought you here?” Wang Yao made his sister a cup of tea.

“I’m home to pack things up. I’m going to travel,” said Wang Ru with a smile.

“Travel to there?” asked Wang Yao.

“Southern Yunnan,” said Wang Ru.

“Southern Yunnan? For what?” asked Wang Yao.

“Of course for work,” said Wang Ru.

“Travel to the most southern area of China for work? Are you sure not for leisure?” said Wang Yao with a smile.

“Stop it. It is actually for work. I’m serious about my job, unlike what you said. By the way, when will your clinic open?” asked Wang Ru.

“I just need to wait for another while. I’m not in a hurry anyway,” said Wang Yao.

“Then you should open your clinic after I’m back from the trip,” said Wang Ru.

“I will!” said Wang Yao.

Wang Ru didn’t stay for long.

Wang Yao also left his clinic for home late afternoon. He had a nice dinner with his family.

While they were having dinner together happily, someone was worried.

“Moving the grave? We have just buried Dad a short while ago. Do you seriously think it is a good idea” asked a middle-aged man.

“Why isn’t it a good idea? If you don’t move Dad’s grave to a different location, Fenglong will die!” said another middle-aged man.

Wang Fenglong’s brothers were talking about his illness. They had also asked a Feng Shui master to take a look at Wang Fenglong. The Feng Shui master said the location of their father’s grave was terrible. It would not bless them, and even harm them. The Feng Shui master asked them to take it seriously.

“Where should we move Dad’s grave to?” asked one of Wang Fenglong’s brothers.

“About 50 steps to the west,” said another brother.

“Okay, let’s do it!” agreed one of Wang Fenglong’s brothers.
