Chapter 491: Only Oneself to Blame

After Sun Dacheng and his wife had finished the dinner, his wife went to check on Sun Honglin again. She found Sun Honglin was sound sleep.

“What happened to him?” Sun Dacheng asked.

“He’s sleeping,” his wife said.

“Just leave him alone,” Sun Dacheng said.

He chatted with his wife for a while. Since he had been busy working, he went to bed early.

…

The next morning, smoke appeared on Nanshan Hill. Wang Yao got up early to brew a decoction for Lu Xiaomei, who suffered from a terrible disease. Sophora, poria, hexandrum…

It was very cold in the morning. It was the beginning of winter frost, the coldest time of the year. Therefore, it was quite usual for some people to enjoy sleeping in.

Still, many villagers got up early in the morning to feed the livestock, including Wang Fengmin. The first thing he did was to check the sheep in the pen. He was concerned that the other sheep left in it would get sick too. If so, he would be desperate.

“Darling, did you hear sheep baa last night?” Wang Fengmin asked.

“No. Didn’t you get up twice last night?” his wife replied.

“Yes,” Wang Fengmin said.

His sheep were all fine.

“Shall we just sell all the sheep?” Wang Fengmin suggested.

“Sell them? What if they have bugs in their belly?” his wife asked with concern.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as we are not eating them,” Wang Fengmin said.

“Do you think it’s the right thing to do?” His wife was doubtful.

“I don’t care,” Wang Fengmin said.

His wife didn’t convince him. Plus, she sort of agreed with him. Wang Fengmin started to make phone calls and tried to sell all his sheep. He didn’t want to worry about them anymore.

Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill after he had finished brewing the decoction.

He had a few patients in the morning. All the patients had minor issues such as headache and leg pain. However, it was not easy to cure those issues.

Wang Yao had gained a reputation in treating leg pain and headache. Those patients didn’t require medication or injections. He just gave them a massage or acupuncture therapy. He never tried to market his service, which sounded simple but contained a lot of knowledge and skills.

His patients all left the clinic happy.

“Hmm, he’s so good. My leg was painful on my way here from time to time. Now, I only have a warm feeling in my leg and no pain at all,” one of Wang Yao’s patients said.

“Yeah, you’d never expect a young man like him to be such a good doctor,” another patient said.

“He’s really good at treating leg pain and headache. My son saw it on WeChat,” the first patient said.

Wang Yao didn’t know that word of mouth had spread online.

Of course, not every one of his patients was happy with him. He just didn’t know.

Wang Yao heard some news when he was about to have lunch at noon. Instead of eating, he rushed out of his home.

“Where are you going?” Zhang Xiuying asked.

“Buying sheep,” Wang Yao said.

He didn’t expect Wang Fengmin to not take his advice and choose to sell his sheep. What if those sheep were really sick? What could he do about it?

He suddenly stopped halfway to Wang Fengmin’s house.

He knew Wang Fengmin was selling his sheep. What if the other villagers also intended to sell their livestock?

He arrived at Wang Fengmin’s house as he was thinking about it. Wang Fengmin had already sold all of his sheep.

“How could you sell them?” Wang Yao asked.

“Why couldn’t I?” Wang Fengmin was not happy to be blamed by someone much younger in the village. He had been upset about what had happened for days. Now, he just exploded.

“What if there are bugs inside the sheep?” Wang Yao asked.

“It’s none of your business. I’m not asking you to buy my sheep,” Wang Fengmin said.

Wang Yao was speechless.

“Mind your own business,” Wang Fengmin added.

“Who did you sell your sheep to?” Wang Yao asked.

“I’m not telling you,” Wang Fengmin said.

“Don’t be rude, Fengmin. Yao, ignore your uncle. He sold the sheep to Li from the village next door. You know, Li runs a restaurant,” Wang Fengmin’s wife said.

Wang Yao knew Li, who often came to his village to buy sheep. Wang Yao didn’t waste time arguing with Wang Fengmin. He left Wang Fengmin’s place right away without saying goodbye.

“Such a rude boy!” Wang Fengmin was still upset.

“You are so bad-tempered! Do you remember he cured your mother’s headache?” Wang Fengmin’s wife shouted.

“I paid him anyway,” Wang Fengmin said.

Wang Yao didn’t rush to the village next door. Instead, he went to Sun Yunsheng’s place.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Can I ask you to do something for me?” Wang Yao went directly to the point.

“Of course,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“From now on, as soon as someone in the village tries to sell livestock, you buy it. You can’t let them sell livestock to anyone except you. Then, you find a way to get rid of the livestock. I’m concerned that there are poisonous insects inside those livestock,” Wang Yao said.

“No problem, I’ll keep an eye out,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“The restaurant serving lamb soup had just purchased several sheep from here,” Wang Yao said.

“I see. I’ll arrange someone to sort it out,” Sun Yunsheng said.

Half an hour later, Sun Yunsheng’s man went to the restaurant in the village next door.

Li Zhikui was absolutely confused about what had happened. Suddenly, someone bought all the sheep he got from Nanshan village. They paid $1,000 yuan for each sheep. He made a good profit. He made several hundreds of yuan out of each sheep. He was just surprised that the buyer loaded the sheep with a very good car. According to his son, the car was an MPV. Rich people just did whatever they wanted. Apparently, the buyer must be a big fan of lamb.

Wang Yao was still at Sun Yunsheng’s house.

Since he was there, he reviewed Lin Sitao and Hao, who were injured. They were both fine.

All the poisonous insects had been expelled from their bodies. The injury in the bones and organs had also been controlled. All they needed to do now was to look after themselves properly.

“You are fine, just make sure you rest well,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you,” Uncle Lin said.

Sun Yunsheng walked Wang Yao out of the house. He didn’t get back until he couldn’t see Wang Yao anymore.

“Master Sun.” As soon as Sun Yunsheng returned to the house, he heard Uncle Lin calling him.

“Yes, Uncle Lin,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“You just said Dr. Wang asked you to do something. What did he ask you to do?” Uncle Lin asked.

Sun Yunsheng told him what Wang Yao asked him to do.

“You need to tell your dad about this,” Uncle Lin suggested.

“Do I need to?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“Yes,” Uncle Line said.

Sun Yunsheng called his dad to tell him what was going on.

“OK. I see. I will send people to do it,” Sun Zhengrong said.

He was much more experienced and efficient than his son in these types of matters.

Wang Yao saw a car parking outside his clinic on his way from Sun Yunsheng’s house to his clinic. Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei had been waiting for him. They came to fetch the decoction.

“Hi, have you been waiting for long?” Wang Yao asked.

“Not long. We’ve just arrived,” Su Changhe said.

“Please come in. It’s quite cold outside,” Wang Yao said.

They all went into the clinic. Wang Yao gave Lu Xiaomei the decoction, which cost the same as last time. Then, they started to chat. While they were chatting, Wang Yao heard someone bang on the door of the clinic. A woman rushed in.

“Dr. Wang, could you please take a look at my son?” The woman was very anxious. She was followed by a middle-aged man, who was carrying a young man with a pale face.

“You!” Wang Yao was shocked.

He knew the three people. The young man was one of the three drug addicts. The other two were his parents.

“Dr. Wang, could you please take a look at him?” Sun Dacheng asked anxiously.

After they got up this morning and cooked breakfast, Sun Dacheng’s wife went to get their son for breakfast. However, Sun Honglin didn’t respond. They thought he had just slept in, so they left him alone. After they had breakfast, they waited until after 9 a.m. for their son to come out of the room. However, Sun Honglin was still in his bedroom. Sun Dacheng became a bit angry. He thought his son was lacking respect toward him. So, he went into his son’s room to check on him. Sun Honglin was still in bed. Sun Dacheng took a close look at his son and found his son’s face was abnormally red. He touched his son’s face, which was extremely hot. He then took his son to the hospital.

Sun Honglin had a high fever of 103.1 degrees. Initially the doctor thought he just had the flu. However, the results of his blood test indicated something more. So, the doctor recommended full blood and urine test. Sun Dacheng and his wife were really concerned about their son. They asked the doctor what was going on. The doctor asked them to wait for test results.

The results suggested chronic renal failure. Sun Dacheng and his wife were shocked. They didn’t know how their son could end up having renal failure.

Although he tried to put it in a nice way, the doctor told them it was a serious medical condition. So, they immediately drove their son to the village. They even crushed two chickens on their way. Blood was everywhere on the road.

“I’m sorry,” Wang Yao calmly said after seeing Sun Honglin.

“Dr. Wang, please help our boy!” Sun Honglin’s mother was almost in tears.

“Sorry, I can’t help him,” Wang Yao said.
