The reason for the man's shocked expression was the half bottle of medicine.
He immediately felt a bone-piercing chill when he grabbed it away, as if he was holding a piece of ice. After removing the stopper, a frost instantly rushed out. At that moment, Sun Zhengrong felt the temperature of his surroundings drop.
Looking through the mouth of the bottle, he saw a clear, pale green liquid.
He was so shocked that he asked, "What is this medicine?!"
"I've never seen it before." The man with no facial expression was stunned as well.
It was just that he could not give the medicine to Li Lao who was in front of him. If he angered Dr. Wang, all of his previous efforts would be in vain. He had just managed to see a tiny glimpse of hope in his son's condition, and he would not allow any mistakes.
"Hmm, " Li Lao responded. However, the disappointment on his face was obvious.
He had seen the medicine used by the young doctor before and even tried to break it down. However, he did not know the most important medicinal herb in it.
Well, so what if he had seen it and tried it? He still did not know anything.
"Li Lao, how's Yunsheng's condition?"
"It's temporarily suppressed by the medicine. Quite a portion of the heat toxins have been abated, " Li Lao replied.
"Is there a possibility to recover completely by consuming this medicine continuously?"
"It's very difficult!" Li Lao answered.
"His body now is like a tree that has been grilled by a blazing fire. The arteries, veins, organs, and even the bones in his body are all eroded by the heat toxins. Recovering completely is just an extravagant hope." Lao Li felt that his words were somewhat inappropriate after saying them out loud, though."Of course, Dr. Wang may be able to create a miracle."
He had witnessed a miracle created by Dr. Wang.
Dr. Wang had managed to rescue a dying person.
Li Lao made a move to leave after staying at Sun Zhengrong's house, despite not having stayed there for long. Sun Zhengrong asked someone to walk him out the door.
"Rong Ye, why don't you tell him about the medicine? Who knows, he may be able to analyze the ingredients of the medicine!" The man with no facial expression said while he stood to the side.
"Hao, you answered your own question. Who knows? That means it's uncertain. If he can't do it and Dr. Wang knows that we did it, what are we going to do?" Sun Zhengrong replied.
One was an old man who had one foot in the grave, and the other was a bright, young man with extraordinary abilities.
How could an old, prudent man like Sun Zhengrong be unclear of which was more important?
Sigh!
He suddenly gave out a sigh.
"Rong Ye?"
"I'm okay. I suddenly thought of something and got a little emotional."
...
That afternoon, the weather became stuffy.
After having lunch, Wang Yao shut himself in his room, pondering about Sun Yunsheng's illness.
He would not stay in Jing City for long. Sun Zhengrong should not stay in Jing City for long either.
He could do more when he went back to Lianshan County and Nanshan hill.
In the afternoon, Sun Zhengrong met another person, Guo Zhenghe.
"Uncle Sun, has Dr. Wang taken a look at Yunsheng's condition?"
"He has."
"How is it?"
"It has been temporarily suppressed. Yunsheng's consciousness has also recovered a little, " Sun Zhengrong replied.
"So amazing!"
"Yes, his pharmaceutical technology is indeed marvelous."
"That's good then, " Guo Zhenghe answered."Dr. Wang is a friend worth making! He deserves to be treated with courtesy."
"Yes, " Sun Zhengrong responded.
In some cases, knowing a good doctor meant that there was an additional guarantee on one's health. It could even be interpreted as having an extra life if they could communicate well with the doctor.
"What does Dr. Wang usually do as a hobby? Sun Zhengrong asked with a smile.
"Well, as far as I know, he does not like money and beauty. He lives the life of an ancient hermit. I did hear from my sister that he likes to drink tea. Oh right, I think he likes things related to Chinese medicine, " Guo Zhenghe answered.
Last time, he gave Wang Yao an ancient medical book. Judging from Wang Yao's facial expression when he received the book, he seemed to like it very much.
Tea and Chinese medicine. Sun Zhengrong secretly remembered it.
Sure enough, Wang Yao was a bit different from the others. However, it would be easy to get close to him, as long as he had a hobby.
The stuffy weather lasted for half a day followed by rain at night. The rain was not heavy and it did not last for long.
Early the next day, the weather was even hotter. There was no wind at all because it did not rain thoroughly the night before.
In the morning, Wang Yao went to the Su family's house again.
Su Xiaoxue's room was very cool instead.
"Dr. Wang, Xiaoxue started to vomit and has had diarrhea since yesterday afternoon. Her excrement has a strange smell. What's happening?" Song Ruiping told Wang Yao as soon as she saw him.
"I'll take a look first."
Wang Yao checked her condition again. The condition of her physical recovery was quite good. After consuming the Blood Deblocking powder, the channels and collaterals in her body that were previously blocked began to dredge gradually. Once these channels and collaterals were dredged, the efficacy of the antidote would then increase. The toxins lurking in the organs, bones, and other organ tissue would only then have to be cleaned up.
The problem said by Song Ruiping just now was also explained. This was the body's detoxification reaction.
"This is good for her. It'll happen again in the future."
"Oh, that's good then."
In fact, the older Dr. Chen was also present the morning before. His answer at the time was the same as Wang Yao's explanation. However, Song Ruiping was still not at ease. Therefore, she asked Wang Yao as well. She was only completely assured after hearing Wang Yao's explanation.
At this point, her trust towards Wang Yao was almost blind.
After the examination ended, Wang Yao let Su Xiaoxue consume two types of medicine and he observed her condition at the same time. He also massaged her acupoints to dredge the blood. It would also dredge the channels and collaterals because he was using external stimulation.
The treatment took the whole morning to finish.
"The medicine to consolidate the corporeity which I've prescribed has to be consumed on time regularly."
"The medicine is taken continuously."
"The medical staff can give Miss Su a suitable massage to help her recover. Chen Lao's acupuncture treatment can also be continued to help her recover."
"Okay, " Song Ruiping replied.
After the treatment ended, Wang Yao returned to the small courtyard. He planned to leave Jing City the day after tomorrow. Before leaving, he prepared to process two types of medicine and leave them behind.
The efficacy of the Blood Deblocking powder was a bit strong, so he had to dilute it. On the other hand, the antidote did not have to be processed.
While Wang Yao and Chen Ying were having lunch, he said to Chen Ying, "Let's go visit your brother tomorrow."
"Okay, " Chen Ying was startled, but she replied with a smile once she recovered.
In the afternoon, Guo Sirou came to the small courtyard. This was the first time she had come here since her grandfather passed away. She had obviously lost a lot of weight and looked a lot wearier.
"Your grandfather has passed away. You need to take care of your health, " Wang Yao advised.
"Okay, " Guo Sirou replied softly.
Chen Ying poured her a cup of tea.
"When are you preparing to leave Jing City?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"I'll drive you to the airport then."
"Don't bother, " Wang Yao answered with a smile.
"I'm also planning to have a break to distract myself."
"That's good too. Where are you planning to go?"
"Europe or North America. There isn't a fixed destination. We'll see, " Guo Sirou replied as she smoothed her hair behind her ear.
Both of them sat in the small courtyard and chatted for quite some time.
Before leaving, Guo Sirou invited him out again."Are you free tonight?"
"Yes."
They smiled at each other.
"Chen Ying, come along as well."
"It's okay. You both can go ahead. I have something to do."
The restaurant which Guo Sirou chose was in an old courtyard dwelling. There were no signs and only a few tables in the courtyard. When they arrived, there was already a table of customers.
They were all young people and they looked exceptional.
After seeing Guo Sirou, one of the young people got up and greeted her with a smile, "Sister Sirou."
"Hey. Xiaogang is here too."
"I'm hanging out with a few friends. It's hard to get a table here at Lu Shu's. I've already waited for a few days, " the young man replied."Who's this?" he asked, in regard to Wang Yao.
"He's my friend."
Wang Yao greeted the young man and went to another table with Guo Sirou.
After the two of them sat down, a middle-aged woman who came over to pour them some water.
"Aunt Mei."
"Hey, Sirou is here."
The woman chatted with Guo Sirou for a while and left with a smile.
"They serve home cooked dishes here."
"Home cooked dishes?" Wang Yao had heard of it before.
"Yes. The chef's ancestors used to be the royal chef in the palace. His specialty dish are also the royal dishes. You have to make a reservation a week in advance. He only serves three tables a day."
"Oh. I'll have to taste it later then, " Wang Yao replied with a smile.
There was no menu and there was no need to place an order. Whatever the chef cooked would be eaten.
It was the first time that Wang Yao had come to such a restaurant.
He was unused to not only the taste of the dishes, but the fact that the old courtyard dwelling was not available to anyone who wanted it.
The dishes were not served quickly. The appearance of the dishes looked just average and not that exquisite. Perhaps Wang Yao's previous expectations were too high.
"What would you like to drink?"
"I don't drink beer."
"That's okay then. Eat up."
Wang Yao put a mouthful of food into his mouth.
"Mmm, it's delicious." He nodded.
Things such as maintaining the taste of the vegetables, the fragrance of the meat and the food was neither too hard nor too soft were nonsense. It was actually just a simple word - delicious!
He was a diner, not a foodie.
In the dark night, lanterns were lit in the small courtyard.
"I don't know what special methods are used in this courtyard. There are no mosquitoes and flies, " Guo Sirou said.
In summer, mosquitoes and flies were inevitable in open-air spaces. They were very annoying, especially while eating.
"Look at the plants near the wall." Wang Yao pointed at the neat row of plants near the corner of the wall.
"That is named Mozzie Buster. It emits a unique scent and can drive out mosquitoes. That one is..." Wang Yao pointed as he introduced them to Guo Sirou one by one.
In fact, he had smelled something special when he entered the small courtyard. Then, he noticed the plants with unique effects surrounding the walls.
"It's unexpected that plants have these effects. I'll have to take some time and place two pots at home, " Guo Sirou said with a smile.
"Some can be used like that, but some can't."
The small courtyard was open-air, so the scent exuded by the plants would spread out. If it was in a room however, the air circulation was relatively poor. Some plants gave off a pungent smell, which would be much more noticeable in a room.
