After returning to his cottage, he took out his notebook and recorded the condition of the patient he had seen in Dao. This was a very rare disease.
How should I treat this disease?
After recording the cause of the disease, Wang Yao began to think about how to treat the disease.
Imbalance of Yin and Yang was very common and easy to treat. However, the imbalance was so serious that it was incurable. It would be very troublesome to treat it.
I still need to take some medicine first. The medicine should be cool to neutralize the excess Yang.
Ordinary medicinal herbs would definitely not work. Since they would not be effective, they would have to start with spiritual herbs.
With a thought, an ancient book appeared in his hand. It was the Catalogue of Spiritual Herbs. In fact, he had already memorized most of the Spiritual Herbs in this book. It was just that flipping through the pages made it easier for him to remember them better. He read through the two ancient books carefully and found a few Spiritual Herbs that met his requirements. However, in his current situation, he could only obtain two kinds of Spiritual Herbs.
Moonlight grass: nourishes Yin and calms nerves.
Frost grass: hibernates in summer and grows in winter. It clears away heat and removes Yang toxins.
The former was milder, while the latter was more intense. He had planted both of them. Some of the Moonlight Grass was stored in the storage compartment of the system. However, the Frost Grass had stopped growing since the weather became warmer. Even if he watered it with the ancient spring water, it had no effect at all.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. It was not until it was dark outside that he remembered that he had to go down the mountain for dinner. He sorted out his thoughts and recorded them down. Then, he put the notebook away and went down the mountain for dinner.
During dinner, his mother mentioned Tong Wei again, and his father chimed in as well.
"Mom, it's not urgent."
"It's not urgent. Do you understand that things might change if we delay?" Zhang Xiuying said in a genteel way, which was rare for her.
"How about this? When she comes back, I'll invite her to our house. As for whether she agrees or not, it's hard to say."
"It's settled. Keep in touch with her when you're free."
"Okay."
After Wang Yao expressed his opinion, the matter finally came to an end.
Hearing that Wang Yao was back, Zhou Xiong took his son to Nanshan Hill the next day.
After checking on Zhou Wukang's condition, he found that Zhou Wukang's condition had improved a lot. It was probably because of the Regather soup that he brewed. Zhou Wukang's spirit was also better than the last time he came to the mountain.
"It's much better than last time."
"Shall we continue where we left off?"
"Alright."
This time, Zhou Xiong focused on teaching him the techniques of Tai Chi. He had been practicing martial arts for decades and had his own experiences. He could understand some of the small things with just a little bit. However, if he didn't teach him and relied on himself to practice and comprehend, he didn't know how long it would take. Zhou Xiong talked about Tai Chi, but there were also other boxing techniques in it. In this aspect, Zhou Xiong didn't hide anything. He taught everything he knew to Wang Yao.
In fact, what he did was not in line with the rules. Martial arts were not easily taught, especially the profound meaning. It was already the so-called "lost art." It was not allowed to be taught to outsiders.
Wang Yao's talent once again shocked Zhou Xiong. He could understand it with just a little bit and comprehend it by analogy.
If there was a so-called "genius," then the young man in front of him was a genius. His medical skills were excellent, and he was also so talented in martial arts. God loved him!
"Don't leave at noon. Stay here for a meal. I've already told my family."
Zhou Xiong still refused, but Wang Yao forced him to stay.
Wang Yao's family was very hospitable. They especially liked Kang, who was a sensible child. Zhang Xiuying specially prepared a table full of dishes.
"This is enough. Don't cook anymore!" Zhou Xiong said this more than once.
This meal, whether it was Wang Yao's family or Zhou Xiong and his son, all of them were very happy.
After the meal, Zhou Xiong and his son were not in a hurry to go back. They followed Wang Yao to Nanshan Hill.
When they arrived at Nanshan Hill, Zhou Wukang was a little out of breath. It seemed that he was exhausted.
"Go into the cottage and have a rest." Wang Yao went into the cottage and poured a glass of water for him.
"Let Kang take a rest first. Shall we continue?"
"Okay."
In the afternoon, Zhou Xiong continued the content in the morning. He continued to teach Wang Yao the skills of boxing, including the force exertion and the skills.
Time passed quickly. Soon, the sky was dark.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhou Xiong left with his son.
The next day, Tian Yuantu came to Nanshan Hill and told Wang Yao that he had found someone who was proficient in handmade tea.
"If you have time, let's go and have a look?"
"Okay!" Wang Yao replied. "If you have time, we can go now."
The two of them went down the hill and drove. Under the guidance of Tian Yuantu, they came to a house near the river. They saw Master Xu, a man in his 50s. He was of medium build and slightly thin.
"Master Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you," Tian Yuantu said with a smile.
"Please come in," the man said with a smile. Obviously, he had known Tian Yuantu for a long time.
After they entered the house and sat down, the old man made a pot of green tea for them.
"Do you want to learn how to cook tea?" the man asked Wang Yao with a smile.
"Yes."
"Do you want to do this?"
"No, I just want to learn," Wang Yao said.
"Hobby?"
"Kind of."
"Then let's talk about it," the man said with a smile. "Let's go to the tea garden first."
The old man took a basket and led Wang Yao and Tian Yuantu to the tea garden next to the village. There were many people planting tea there. Looking from afar, there was a large tea garden full of tea trees. There were already people busy in the tea garden.
"At this time, you can pick the first tea. You can pick the first tea by folding it, not pinching it. You can't use your fingernails. There are one bud, one leaf, or one bud, two leaves. Try it." The old man taught Wang Yao in the tea garden.
Picking tea looked simple, but after a while, most people couldn't stand it. Their fingers and arms were sore. Wang Yao followed the old man to learn how to pick tea. As the old man walked, he said which buds were good and which could wait for another two days.
After picking some tea leaves, they returned to the old man's house.
The next step was to cook tea. The old man used a big iron pot and a firewood stove, the most traditional kind.
After preparing the tools, the old man began to wash the pot and make a fire.
There were several steps to cooking tea.
"This time, it's called finishing. The fire should be bigger." Master Xu poured the freshly picked tea leaves into the pot and started to cook. As he cooked, he talked about some of the steps. From time to time, he would try the tea leaves. At the same time, he adjusted the firewood in the stove to control the fire.
"Try it. This should be enough." He grabbed a handful of tea leaves and handed them to Wang Yao. Then, he put the fried tea leaves into a prepared dustpan. Then, he began to rub the tea leaves. It felt similar to kneading dough.
"You have to rub the tea while it's hot. It's similar to kneading dough."
"Try it again. This should be enough."
Wang Yao reached out and tried it. He felt that the tea leaves had cooled down.
Then, Master Xu spread out the tea leaves and put them into the pot. After he felt it was enough, he took the tea leaves out of the pot and put them into the dustpan to rub. He repeated this five times.
"This is enough!"
The last step was drying. The color of the tea had completely changed from the original green to dark green, which was close to black. The hand-fried tea was finished.
"This tea can't be drunk immediately after it's cooked. It needs to be left for a while," Master Xu said. "Wait for it to cool down."
From picking tea leaves to frying tea leaves, it was already afternoon when they were done. During the whole process, they didn't even have lunch.
"Let's go, Master Xu. Let's have lunch together."
"Let's eat at home. It's ready." Master Xu wiped the sweat on his head.
While they were busy, his wife had prepared lunch and had been waiting for them. It was the first time they had seen Master Xu's wife since they had been there for half a day.
Huh?
Wang Yao looked at Master Xu's wife's expression. He knew that she was not in good health. Half of her hair was white, her face was slightly yellow, and her eyes were heavy. There was not much spirit in her eyes.
"Is Auntie not feeling well?" he asked Master Xu.
"Yes, it's an old problem. She has a headache. I can't find the root of the problem." Master Xu sighed. "When she has a headache, she can't do anything. She was lying on the kang just now." .
"No wonder they didn't see her when they came. She was not feeling well."
Master Xu and Master Xu were very embarrassed to cook a table full of dishes for them because she was not feeling well.
Tian Yuantu put down his chopsticks and looked at Wang Yao. He didn't speak until he saw Wang Yao nod.
"What a coincidence. He is a doctor, and his medical skills are very good." Tian Yuantu pointed at Wang Yao. "Why don't you let him take a look at Auntie?"
"Really?" Master Xu looked at Wang Yao said.
"I can try," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Let's eat first. We'll talk after lunch," Master Xu said.
During lunch, Master Xu occasionally added some vegetables to his wife's bowl. It was just a subconscious action, but it showed that the relationship between the couple was very good.
They didn't drink during lunch, so they finished the meal quickly. After lunch, Wang Yao went to see his wife.
Master Xu's wife's illness was somewhat similar to Tian Yuantu's wife's illness. It could be considered a chronic illness for many years. Because of the headache, she couldn't rest well, which damaged her vitality. Her body was gradually worn down. Now, she not only had a headache, but also other problems.
"I can cure this illness," Wang Yao said.
"Really?!" Master Xu was excited.
"Yes, I'll go back and think about it. You wait for my news," Wang Yao said.
"Okay." Master Xu was very happy to hear that there was hope. His wife had been sick for many years. She had been to many places, but she had never been cured.
After lunch, Wang Yao asked Master Xu about the details and experience of making tea and wrote it down. Then, he left with Tian Yuantu.
