The sun was shining brightly. It was a good time to brew the decoction.
Wang Yao fetched some firewood, started a fire, and brewed the decoction.
Wang Yao had a fan in his hand. From time to time, he would disperse the smoke rising from the fire.
He was very familiar with this decoction.
Wild herbs, licorice roots, and the right time had all been met.
The decoction was slowly changing.
Chen Boyuan came and brought back the herbs Wang Yao needed. Seeing Wang Yao brewing the decoction, Chen Boyuan did not stay. He said goodbye and left.
When it was close to noon, the decoction was finished. Wang Yao did not rest. He immediately started to brew another decoction.
He carefully washed the clay pot that he used to brew the decoction and filled it with ancient spring water that he had prepared in advance.
The fire was not extinguished. He only added some firewood and it started to burn again.
Astragalus root, codonopsis pilosula, glossy ganoderma … He added the herbs one by one.
Wang Yao's movements were very slow. He was as calm as an old monk.
"Dr. Wang, is it time to eat?" Chen Ying reminded him softly.
"You eat first. Don't wait for me," Wang Yao said.
As he spoke, he added another herb. It was pear grass, which could be used to treat ulcers.
The so-called ulcers were malignant sores. The stagnation of Qi and blood, the accumulation of toxins, and ulcers on the outside and tumors on the inside.
He had added two licorice roots into the decoction. He had added some shanjing earlier because he found that his second aunt's body was seriously damaged when he diagnosed her. It should have something to do with her daily life and work. She did not earn much and was reluctant to eat some things, just like his mother at home.
I don't know what my second aunt's job is. She didn't tell me when I asked her last night, Wang Yao thought.
The last herb, Guiyuan, was added. The decoction boiled for a while. The decoction was finished.
The door of the small courtyard was open. Two old people were standing outside the door. They had been standing outside for a while but did not go in. They just stood there and watched Wang Yao brew the decoction.
"How is it?"
"His temperament is really good!"
"How about the decoction?"
"It's also an ancient method."
"The order in which the herbs are added is determined according to the medicinal efficacy. Very few people pay attention to this now."
"Why are you so concerned about him?"
"To be honest, I want to meet his master."
The two old men stood outside the door and looked at Wang Yao brewing medicine in the courtyard. They stood there for more than an hour. They were really patient.
"What's the use of seeing him?"
"Ask and learn."
"Don't you think our area is chaotic enough? We're all old. Should we rest?" Old Man Li said.
The two of them stood outside for a while, then turned and left.
"What are the identities of the two old men outside?" Although he was concentrating on decocting the decoction, his extraordinary five senses had already detected the two people outside. He could also vaguely hear their conversation, even though they were speaking in a very low voice. Wang Yao asked Chen Ying after he put the decoction into the decoction.
"Mr. Chen and Mr. Li, they are both doctors," Chen Ying said.
"Okay." Wang Yao just grunted and didn't say much.
After brewing the medicine, he called his second aunt and prepared to send it to her.
"Send it to me? I'm working! "At this time, Wang Yao's second aunt was sitting in the elevator.
"Then where do you work?"
"No, I'm very busy now."
"How about in the afternoon?"
In the end, Wang Yao asked his second aunt where she worked. It was a large shopping mall.
"Let's go." After knowing the location, he immediately set off. Of course, he needed Chen Ying to lead the way.
About an hour later, they arrived at the shopping mall. There were people coming and going, and it was very lively.
"What is your second aunt doing here?"
"I don't know. Let's go in and have a look." He was not in a hurry to call his second aunt. Instead, he went into the shopping mall and walked around a few times. Suddenly, he was stunned.
He looked at his second aunt. The moment the elevator opened, she was sitting in the elevator. She looked a little tired. He immediately understood what his second aunt's job was.
When he was checking her pulse, Wang Yao found that her blood pressure was a little high. The job of watching the elevator was not suitable for her. It had an obvious adverse effect on her condition.
He saw it, and Chen Ying seemed to have seen it too.
"Wait a minute."
Wang Yao stood outside the elevator and waited quietly alone. After a while, the elevator landed. With a clear ding, the elevator opened.
"Hello, which floor do you want to go to?" A somewhat hoarse and tired voice asked.
"Second aunt." Wang Yao felt a lump in his throat.
"Yao, why are you here?" His second aunt was surprised to see him.
"I'm here to send you the medicine." Wang Yao smiled. He felt that his smile was a little bitter.
"Excuse me," someone behind him said.
"Sorry." Wang Yao entered the elevator.
After a few people came up, the elevator opened.
"What time do you get off work?"
"4: 00."
"I'll wait for you."
"Go out and wait. It's not appropriate to wait in the elevator."
"Okay."
Wang Yao sat quietly in the lobby of the shopping mall. He looked at the people coming and going and thought about what had just happened.
Watching the elevator was actually not tiring. It was just time-consuming. Moreover, when the elevator started and stopped, one would feel a little uncomfortable. Just looking at one's family member working with a tired face would make one unconsciously feel uncomfortable.
It was not easy to make a living in Beijing.
The waiting time seemed to be very long.
Wang Yao sat there. Chen Ying sat quietly beside him. She did not say anything. She thought that Wang Yao might not be in a good mood now.
It was 4: 00 pm.
Some of the staff changed shifts. Wang Yao's second aunt had finished her work for the day and could go home to rest. It took several buses to get to her place. It would take almost an hour to get there.
"Let us send you back."
Chen Ying drove Wang Yao's second aunt home.
"This is the medicine I decocted. Drink some and see how it works."
Wang Yao handed the decoction to his second aunt.
"Okay." His second aunt took it. She felt that the decoction was still warm. She poured a small bowl of it and drank it.
As soon as the decoction entered her stomach, she felt warm. Her stomach was very comfortable. Then, the warmth began to spread throughout her body. In a short period of time, her body seemed to be much more comfortable. Even the tiredness from staying in the elevator for the day seemed to have been driven away.
"This decoction is so magical!" his second aunt said with a smile.
"The effect may be even better in a while."
Wang Yao sat in the living room and chatted with his second aunt. He asked about his second uncle's work, his cousin's studies, and the situation at home.
Time passed just like that.
"It's effective," Wang Yao said after checking his pulse.
"I've been sent away tonight. Let's have dinner here."
"No, let's go out to eat." On the way, Wang Yao saw several restaurants outside. One of them looked good.
"It's okay to eat out. There's still food at home."
"It's okay. You've been tired all day. Don't worry. It's my treat."
In the end, Zhang Xiufang couldn't persuade Wang Yao. She called her husband and made an appointment to have dinner together in a hotel outside.
Chen Ying found an excuse to leave. She then made an appointment at the best hotel nearby. At the same time, she called Chen Boyuan.
"Uncle Chen, I have something to tell you …"
Wang Yao's second uncle didn't come back until after 7 pm.
"Dinner here?" He was a little surprised after entering the hotel. "It's not cheap here."
"I've booked everything," Wang Yao said.
After sitting down, a waiter immediately came over. After ordering, the dishes were served one after another.
"Auntie, have you booked the tickets?"
"No, we're preparing for Destiny's Day."
"Tell me the time. I'll book the tickets for you. I'm going back anyway," Wang Yao said.
"Well, okay." His second aunt hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Wang Yao ordered a bottle of red wine for dinner. He drank a little with his uncle.
"Yao, have you finished your business in Jing?"
"No, but I'll go back with you. The matter here can't be solved in a short time."
What he meant by "can't be solved" was that Su Xiaoxue's illness couldn't be cured in two or three days. It would take a long time. During the treatment period, he couldn't stay in Jing all the time.
"Will you come back after May 1?"
"Yes, I'll definitely come back, but the specific time will depend on the situation."
