After experiencing spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the alternation of withering and flourishing, the firewood was the end of life, but also the beginning of another form of life. Today, the firewood had to play a different role, which was to start a fire.
Wang Yao used firewood to brew the decoction on the mountain, instead of electricity or natural gas commonly used in clinics and hospitals. This was a kind of respect and inheritance for the tradition, and also a kind of guarantee for the effect of the decoction.
Wang Yao spent the whole morning searching the nearby mountains and collected a lot of firewood. He piled it behind the cottage.
Looking at the weather, it probably won't get better.
Wang Yao looked up at the sky. It was still gloomy, and it was not raining. Only the wind blowing on his body was a little cold.
At noon, he did not go home for lunch. He just had a meal on the mountain.
He had a Taoist scripture in hand and read it.
He took a break.
After putting away the Taoist scripture, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to take a nap.
Buzz. As soon as he lay down, the phone on the bed rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Tian Yuantu. He had not seen this busy man for a while. He heard from Wang Mingbao that Tian Yuantu had been busy with the company recently and did not even attend the usual gatherings.
"Tian Yuantu, have you been busy recently?" Wang Yao answered the phone with a smile.
"It's me, Dr. Wang." He did not expect to hear a woman's gentle voice on the other end of the phone.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Wang Yao was stunned. He immediately knew that it was Xu Jiahui.
"Yuantu is not feeling well. He is very dizzy. He went to the hospital and did not find anything wrong. He wants you to take a look."
"Okay."
"Are you free in the afternoon?"
"Yes."
"We'll go to see you in the afternoon."
"Okay."
Wang Yao originally wanted to make a house call, but he did not expect that Xu Jiahui had spoken first. He did not say anything more.
He took a nap on the bed and was awakened by the sound of dogs barking.
Someone had gone up the mountain.
It was a couple, Tian Yuantu and Xu Jiahui.
Tian Yuantu's complexion was not very good. It was an unhealthy sallow color, and he looked very tired. His eyes were dim, and his wife beside him was full of worry.
"Come in and take a seat."
Wang Yao invited the two of them into the house and made them a cup of tea.
"Take a rest first, then I'll take a look at you."
Tian Yuantu was already out of breath on the way up the mountain. This had never happened before.
A cup of green tea was filled with the fragrance of flowers and birds.
"Are you tired these days?" Wang Yao asked softly after checking Tian Yuantu's pulse.
"Yes, I'm busy with the company's affairs. I work overtime almost every day."
"Do you still need to work so hard when your business has reached such a level?"
In fact, the cause of Tian Yuantu's illness was very simple. He was overtired, and his cervical vertebra was damaged. Therefore, he would feel dizzy. A simple massage therapy could be effective to solve the problem. More importantly, he had to have a good rest and pay attention to not be overtired.
When people reached middle age, they had to pay special attention to their health. Some diseases often began to appear in their 40s. If they did not pay attention and treat them at this time, these diseases that you usually did not care about at all might develop uncontrollably and become chronic diseases, making you regret it for the next few decades.
"I'm going to retire after this period of work," Tian Yuantu said with a smile.
Wang Yao also smiled after hearing that. He would not take it seriously. Many people had said similar things.
This is the last time I swear.
I will start working hard from tomorrow.
It will definitely not happen next time.
…
Like this.
No one would complain about having too much money. It all depended on whether you could be open-minded.
"How is it?"
"It's not a big problem. You just need to pay attention to rest," Wang Yao said.
"Sit up straight. I'll give you a massage."
Wang Yao gave Tian Yuantu a massage, mainly on his neck and back.
"It's so comfortable!"
In just a few minutes, Tian Yuantu felt that his body suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. His neck was not so stiff and uncomfortable. Even the dizziness felt a lot better.
"You've worked for too long and injured your neck."
"When did you learn this massage technique?" Tian Yuantu asked curiously.
"Tuina massage is one of the most basic medical skills," Wang Yao said.
After massaging his acupoints, Wang Yao stopped.
Tian Yuantu and Xu Jiahui were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they drank tea in the cottage and chatted with Wang Yao.
"To be honest, I haven't been so relaxed in a while." Tian Yuantu said. He had been very tense during this period. He had to manage too many things. However, the more he managed, the more things he had to manage. It was as if he had entered a special cycle.
"Don't you still have the vice presidents of the various branches? Can't you just leave it to them?" Wang Yao said.
"There are still some things that I'm worried about."
Hehe.
Some bosses were like this. They held on too tightly and were unwilling to boldly delegate power to their subordinates. It was not good to manage the company like this.
Li Jiacheng managed Changjiang Industries. He would not even ask about the type of house they were building and how many floors they were building, right?
"You weren't like this before," Xu Jiahui said softly.
"Yes." Tian Yuantu just responded. Obviously, he had something on his mind.
"Thank you. I feel much better." This was what Tian Yuantu said to Wang Yao before he left.
"It's okay. Have a good rest these two days?" This was Wang Yao's suggestion.
The Tian Yuantu in front of him was somewhat different from the person he used to know. In the past, Tian Yuantu was far from being such a business fanatic. He was a good man who put his family first. His business always came second.
"What's wrong, Yuantu? Are there some things that you don't even tell me?" Xu Jiahui asked softly when they went down the hill.
"There's a problem in the company." Tian Yuantu was silent for a moment and stopped.
"A problem? What problem?" Xu Jiahui asked hurriedly.
"Capital."
"Capital? How is that possible?" Xu Jiahui was surprised. She was very clear about her husband's company. In fact, the development of this huge group could not have been without her support and help. However, as her husband's business grew, she gradually moved behind the scenes and began to take care of her husband and children at home.
"Some time ago, the group spent a lot of money to buy a large piece of land in Dao City and was ready to develop it. However, there seemed to be some problems with the procedures and was temporarily suspended by the local government."
"Dao City?!"
Xu Jiahui was very clear about how much the housing prices in Dao City had soared recently.
"Is that why you want to go public?"
"Kind of. In fact, it's also a risky move," Tian Yuantu said.
"What did the bank say?"
"There's no problem there for the time being, but the company invested hundreds of millions of yuan in that piece of land!"
In China, it was very tiring to do the real economy. It was very tiring for a year and had to face various environmental and tax inspections and audits. In the end, not much money was earned. Instead, a lot of money was lost. Therefore, many entrepreneurs were unwilling to do the real economy. However, real estate was different. It was definitely a profiteering industry, but it also had high risks. Once the capital chain was broken, there would be an avalanche of danger.
"Why didn't I hear about such a big investment from you?" Xu Jiahui was surprised.
Usually, Tian Yuantu would discuss with his wife whenever there was a slightly bigger investment. Although Xu Jiahui was a gentle woman, she had amazing intuition and judgment in investment and financial management.
"I was also bewitched," Tian Yuantu said.
In fact, he had been fooled!
"Is there any other way?"
"I'll go to Dao City tomorrow to see how the situation there is and whether there will be any changes," Tian Yuantu said. "If the local government relents now, even if we sell that piece of land, we can still make a profit!"
"I'll go with you," Wang Yao said.
"It's already like this. What else do you want?"
Wang Yao stood on the hill and looked at the couple who accompanied him down the hill.
A gentle wife, a harmonious family, and a foundation.
In the eyes of most people, these were things to be envied. What else was there to pursue?
Some people's pain came from unrealistic pursuits and ideals.
Just like Wang Yao now, he wanted to live a carefree life. He wanted to grow herbs on the hill and go to see a doctor at the foot of the hill. Then, he wanted to marry a gentle wife and live a peaceful life. In the future, he wanted to write a book and develop and pass on some of the things he had learned.
It sounded like he was groaning for no reason.
Some people said that one's life should be vigorous and achieve something. However, most people on this planet still lived an ordinary life. If one wanted to live a vigorous life, who would do those ordinary things?
The sky was still gloomy, but it refused to rain.
After preparing all the herbs needed to decoct the Muscle Revitalization powder, Wang Yao went down the hill.
As soon as Wang Yao entered the house, he heard his mother's voice. "Those people deserve to die!"
"What happened? Who made you so angry?"
"Someone came to our village to steal a child today!"
"What?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"Whose child was stolen?"
"They didn't steal it. Fortunately, they found out early," Zhang Xiuying said.
"That's good." Wang Yao was relieved.
"Did the surveillance camera in the village capture it?"
"Yes, but I didn't see the person clearly. I've already called the police," Zhang Xiuying said. "A child went missing in Lijia Village in Lower Groove yesterday. I don't know if he has been found."
Wang Yao was silent for a moment. Then, he turned and went into the house to get a glass of water.
These things had nothing to do with medical skills. He wanted to do it, but he was powerless.
This was just an episode. Life still had to go on. After dinner, Wang Yao gave his father a massage. A missing person notice appeared on the television.
It was a three-year-old boy who looked very cute.
This child was most likely not found.
