Chapter 543: Adding Insult to Injury

“What happened to him?” Wang Yao asked. The child looked about 5 years old.

“He fell off the bed while playing. Could you take a look at him?” the middle-aged man asked.

Wang Yao quickly had a look at the child and found that he was fine. The only issue was that his right elbow was dislocated.

“Sit tight.” Wang Yao asked the middle-aged man to hold the child. “Don’t be afraid, you’ll be fine.”

He tried to comfort the child when he was gently moving the child’s arm. Then, he quickly corrected the child’s elbow.

Crack! Everyone in the room heard a sound.

“He’s fine now,” Wang Yao said.

“That’s it?” the middle-aged man asked with surprise.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

The child gradually stopped crying.

“Is it still painful in your arm?” Wang Yao asked.

“A little,” the child honestly said.

“You are a man, be brave,” Wang Yao said.

“OK.” The child tried to hold his tears.

“Let me take another look at you. I hope the bones are not affected,” Wang Yao said.

Since it was an emergency case, Wang Yao had just made brief diagnosis. He decided to take a closer look at the child to see if he had any fracture.

“OK,” the child said.

Wang Yao took a close look at the child to make sure he was fine. He then briefly fixed the child’s arm. “Try not to move this arm in the next few days.”

“OK. By the way, how much should I pay you?” the child’s father asked.

“Don’t worry about it,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you, Yao,” the child’s father said.

“You are welcome,” Wang Yao said.

The middle-aged man took his son home. Wang Yao locked the door of the clinic and went home for lunch.

“Why didn’t you go to the hospital? What if he had a fracture? His clinic doesn’t have any equipment. What if our child had a fracture?” The middle-aged man didn’t expect to be blamed by his wife. He had to take his son to the hospital eventually. In fact, their worry was reasonable.

“Mom, I won’t come home for lunch tomorrow. I’ll catch up with a few friends in the town center. Is there anything you and Dad want me to get from town?” Wang Yao asked.

“No, just make sure you don’t drink too much,” Zhang Xiuying said.

“I have to drive, so I won’t drink,” Wang Yao said.

That night, while he was on Nanshan Hill, he received a call from Professor Lu.

Professor Lu’s friend went back to her hometown a few days before the Chinese New Year. However, she hadn’t returned. While Professor Lu was wondering what was happening, Wen Wan called him to explain that her mother was seriously ill. She had been looking after her mother, so she hadn’t had a chance to see Wang Yao.

“How is she? She must be tired given her condition,” Wang Yao said.

Wen Wan’s condition was serious. Like most sick people, she was very weak. She needed to rest as much as she could. However, looking after a sick elderly person was a very tiring task.

“She is not well,” Professor Lu said on the other side of the phone.

He was very worried about Wen Wan. He tried to convince her not to destroy her own health by looking after her mother. After all, she was very sick herself. Plus, she was not the only child. However, Wen Wan didn’t take his advice. She tried her best to take good care of her mother.

“That’s not good,” Wang Yao said. Wen Wan’s condition would get worse. “Ask her to come here for treatment as soon as possible.”

“Sure. I also want to ask if you still have any of the pills you gave me last time?” Professor Lu asked.

“Pills? Nine Herbs pills?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes, exactly,” Professor Lu said.

“I do have some left,” Wang Yao said.

“Can I buy some from you?” Professor Lu asked. He heard from Wen Wan that the pills were magical.

“The pills will only temporarily relieve her pain. They won’t cure her,” Wang Yao said.

“Even temporary relief is better than nothing. Her mother is very sick. I’m afraid the old lady won’t last for long,” Professor Lu said.

“OK, come here when you have time,” Wang Yao said.

“Thank you,” Professor Lu said.

Nine Herbs pills was made from nine herbs. Although it didn’t contain any licorice roots, the herbs were all wild. Most of them were from Wang Yao’s herbal field. With the support from Spirit Gathering Battle Array, those herbs were a very high quality. Wang Yao had several dozens of Nine Herbs pills left. It was not difficult for him to make more.

Wang Yao closed the clinic at about 10 a.m. the next day. He put a sign on the door. On his way home, he saw the middle-aged man who had brought his son to his clinic.

“I’ve told you he’s fine. Now you believe me?” the middle-aged man said to his wife. They had just returned from the town center. They had taken their son to the town hospital the previous afternoon. It turned out that their son just had a dislocated elbow, exactly as Wang Yao diagnosed. The doctor in the hospital ran a few more tests and found that the boy was fine. So, they took their son back to the village.

“Shush! Yao is over there!” The middle-aged man’s wife poked her husband.

Wang Yao had actually heard their conversation. He didn’t mind his patients going to proper hospitals after being seen at his clinic. It was reasonable, especially for those who were seriously sick.

“Hello.” Wang Yao greeted the middle-aged man and his wife.

“Hello, Yao,” the middle-aged man said.

“Is your son alright?” Wang Yao asked.

“He’s fine. Thank you,” the middle-aged man said.

“You are welcome. See you around,” Wang Yao said.

“See you. Come to our home when you have time,” the middle-aged man said.

“OK, bye,” Wang Yao said.

“I hope he didn’t hear our conversation,” the middle-aged man said.

“Of course not. He was fairly far from us. It would have been impossible for him to hear us talking,” his wife said.

“You know, he’s nice young man. He didn’t even ask me for a cent,” the middle-aged man said.

“Hmm, he is a good young man,” his wife said.

Wang Yao talked to his parents briefly before driving to Lianshan town center. He went to Wang Mingbao’s place after he arrived at the town center. He then booked a table at a restaurant.

He and Wang Mingbao went to the restaurant at about 11 a.m. Tian Yuantu, Li Maoshuang, Wei Hai, and Pan Jun arrived at the restaurant soon after.

“Hey, I haven’t see you guys for a long time,” Wang Mingbao said.

“Exactly,” Wei Hai said.

As regular guests, the dishes were served quickly.

Some of them didn’t drive, and some of them had their own drivers. So, they all drank a bit of wine. Wang Yao also had a small glass of wine. In fact, given his capacity, even if he had a few drinks, the traffic policeman wouldn’t detect it with their device.

After lunch, Tian Yuantu led them to his multifunctional resort containing an entertaining facility, restaurant, and business center.

“This is my first time here,” Pan Jun said.

To be precise, this was not his first time to visit the resort. This was his first time to visit the entertaining facility.

There was a tea room in the entertaining facility. Tian Yuantu served them high-quality tea. The decoration of the tea room was also classy.

“You can come here anytime,” Tian Yuantu said with a smile.

They stayed there for most of the afternoon. Tian Yuantu invited them to have dinner in the resort in the evening. He served them a banquet.

They had more drinks at night. Everyone seemed to be able to drink a lot, but some of them were a bit drunk afterward, except for Wang Yao.

It was after 8 p.m. by the time they finished dinner.

“Don’t drive home.” Tian Yuantu arranged cars and drivers to take everyone home.

“Thank you, bro!” Li Maoshuang had drank too much. “See you later.”

“Are you gonna drive home?” Li Maoshuang asked as Wang Yao was about to get into his vehicle. He was a bit concerned about him.

“I’m fine. Alcohol has no impact on me,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“OK, drive safely,” Li Maoshuang said.

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

Wang Yao returned home and left his vehicle outside his house. He then went back to Nanshan Hill at about 10 p.m.

He continued to brew Connection ointment on the hill the next morning. He received a call from Professor Lu while he was setting off the fire. Professor Lu had arrived at the clinic. Wang Yao stopped working and left for his clinic.

“Good morning, .Dr. Wang.” Professor Lu looked tired.

“Morning, please come in,” Wang Yao said.

He made Professor Lu a cup of tea.

“You drove here overnight?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes. I had something to do in Shanghai yesterday. Otherwise, I would have arrived yesterday,” Professor Lu said.

“These are the pills.” Wang Yao took out the Nine Herbs pills.

“Thank you. How much should I pay you?” Professor Lu asked.

“It’s $500 for one pill,” Wang Yao said.

“OK.” Professor Lu didn’t think it was expensive. Actually, he thought the pills should cost more. “Can you give me a handful?”

Wang Yao gave him 10 pills. “There’s no use in taking too many. I’ve told you the pills won’t cure her.”

“I feel sad when seeing her suffering,” Professor Lu said.

“I understand. But, the more tired she is, the worse her condition will be,” Wang Yao said.

Professor Lu didn’t say anything. He knew what Wang Yao meant.
