"Yes, yes, we are friends," Jia Zizai said.
The goshawk circled in the sky a few times before flying off into the distance.
On Dongshan Mountain, Zhong Liuchuan and Jia Zizai practiced while Hu Mei walked around. When she reached the border between Dongshan Mountain and Nanshan Mountain, she stopped. She just stood there and looked around.
The trees on Nanshan Mountain were lush. Even though it was late autumn, there were no yellow leaves. It seemed out of place with the surrounding yellow and bleak autumn scenery.
The sky gradually darkened.
"Well, let's call it a day," Hu Mei said.
"Okay."
The two brothers ended their practice. Jia Zizai and Hu Mei went down the mountain first. Zhong Liuchuan stayed on Nanshan Mountain for a while before leaving.
"You haven't been to Nanshan Mountain either?"
"No," Jia Zizai said.
"Have you noticed that the feeling on Dongshan Mountain is completely different from the feeling at the foot of the mountain?" Hu Mei asked. She felt that her breathing was smoother than when she was on the mountain. She felt very comfortable all over her body. That kind of feeling was something she had not felt for many years at the foot of the mountain.
"I feel it."
"Why?"
"The air circulation on the mountain is smoother," Hu Mei said. "Moreover, there are more trees on the mountain, so the natural air is fresher."
"No, these are all secondary factors."
"What do you think is the reason?" Jia Zizai asked.
"I don't know," Hu Mei said. "Didn't your senior tell you?"
"He didn't say, and I didn't ask."
"It should be some kind of special battle array," Hu Mei said with a smile. "Haven't you noticed that the situation on Nanshan Mountain is different from the surrounding areas?"
"I noticed," Jia Zizai said. "The trees on the mountain are extraordinarily lush. Even in autumn, they are still lush and have no leaves. It's amazing!"
"I think this is also something Sir has found a way to do," Hu Mei said. "Nanshan Mountain should be like spring all year round."
"Do you want to go up and have a look?"
"No," Hu Mei said. "Haven't you noticed that your senior doesn't want to go up? Or, he is very restrained from going up?"
"I feel that it should be a forbidden area," Hu Mei said. "Without Sir's permission, no one can go up."
"Let's go. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Let's eat something bland. I have some thoughts after reading the Dao scriptures today. Let's eat something bland." Jia Zizai said with a smile. He was not joking, and he was telling the truth. He had been reading the scriptures for the past two days, and he had gained some insights. He felt calmer.
"Okay." Hu Mei smiled and went to prepare dinner.
Soon, night fell and darkness enveloped the land.
There was a dim yellow light on Nanshan Hill.
In the small house, the firewood was burning, making crackling sounds. Wang Yao sat quietly at the side, adding more firewood from time to time.
That night, he went up the mountain earlier than usual. He had prepared all kinds of herbs for the purpose of decocting the medicine.
The medicinal herbs were added one by one, and the medicinal soup was slowly boiling. The medicinal aroma filled the entire house and then drifted out. Outside, the dog lying in the kennel smelled the aroma and raised its head to look into the house. Then, it continued to lie in the kennel and sleep.
"Looks like it's almost time."
He looked at the color change of the medicinal soup and asked about the change of the aroma. With the passage of time, the medicinal properties of the various herbs were all steamed out and integrated into the medicinal decoction.
Guiyuan.
This medicine harmonized Yin and Yang and integrated all kinds of medicinal efficacy. It was indispensable.
"Well, it's done."
The medicine was ready. When the medicine naturally cooled to a certain temperature, he put it into a bottle.
After he finished decocting the decoction, he was ready to decoct another decoction. It was a decoction to prevent miscarriage. This decoction was actually based on the decoction he decocted for Feng Jiahe last time in Jing City. He added Zibei Long Fang to it. This decoction had a special effect that other decoctions did not have. It nourished the mind and calmed the fetus.
That night, the two medicines were decocted until late at night. After packing up his things, he turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The next morning, he still got up very early and went to the mountain. He practiced martial arts at the top of Nanshan Hill and then went to Dongshan Hill. Zhong Liuchuan and Jia Zizai both came to Dongshan Hill to practice in the early morning. He would also stay to watch and give guidance from time to time. Zhong Liuchuan's practice had gradually entered a good state, mainly because his state of mind had improved very quickly. It was consistent with the artistic conception of the practice. Jia Zizai was a little worse. Fortunately, he seemed to have reached the threshold in the past two days, and his heart had calmed down. The next step was to let nature take its course and practice diligently.
At around 8 a.m., Wang Yao went down the mountain and returned home. After breakfast, he went to the clinic.
He called Liu Zhengfeng and told him to come over to pick up the medicine. In less than an hour, Liu Zhengfeng rushed over from Lianshan County.
"Sir."
"This is the medicine," Wang Yao said. "The way to take it is the same as the previous one. After taking it, bring her back for a follow-up in 10 days."
"Okay, thank you!" Liu Zhengfeng received the potion and was very happy. Then, he paid the fee happily.
He then asked Wang Zecheng to bring his father over. The old man's complexion seemed to be worse than yesterday. His eyes were dim.
"Uncle, did you not sleep well last night?"
"Well, I had a lot of dreams," the old man said. He did not know why, but he did have a lot of dreams last night. One time, he was herding sheep on the mountain. As a result, the sheep ran away. He chased them all over the mountain. Another time, it suddenly snowed heavily. The crops in the field were frozen to death. He was anxious. There was another dream. He dreamed that he fell into the water. No matter how hard he swam, he could not reach the shore. This made him very anxious. He wanted to call for help, but he could not. Anyway, it was not a good dream that night.
"Come on, drink this bowl of medicine first." Wang Yao handed the old man a bowl of medicine. It was the medicine brewed with several kinds of licorice roots last night to treat his malignant tumor.
"Okay." The old man drank the warm medicine in one gulp.
After about half an hour, Wang Yao continued to check his pulse.
"Do you feel anything?"
Wang Yao asked. "Well, I just feel that my stomach is hot. These two places are particularly hot." He pointed to his abdomen.
"OK, lie down and take off your clothes."
Wang Yao asked him to lie down. He took off his clothes and began to insert the needles. His way of inserting the needles was somewhat unique. Sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was slow. He did not insert the needles all at once. After a while, he inserted the needles into several acupoints. This time, he used some of the newly learned knowledge and skills. An hour passed unknowingly.
The old man only felt that some parts of his body were hot, some parts were hot, and some parts were still faintly painful. There were several different feelings on his body.
"Uncle, how do you feel?"
Wang Yao asked. "Ah, that's good," the old man thought.
"If you tell me the truth, it will be convenient for my next treatment." Wang Yao smiled. He knew that the old man's body definitely felt different. Different parts of the body felt different.
The old man immediately told him his feelings in detail.
"OK, I see. Get up and put on your clothes."
After another half an hour, Wang Yao checked the old man's pulse.
"OK, that's it for today. Come back tomorrow morning."
"OK, thank you," Wang Zecheng said. "How about the money for the medicine?"
"You can take me back first."
"OK, I'll come back later," Wang Zecheng said.
He helped the old man out of the clinic.
"Dad, how do you feel?"
Wang Yao asked. "Ah, I feel strange," Wang Zecheng said. "It's not comfortable. I still feel a little warm, but I feel like I have strength when I get up in the morning."
"That's good," Wang Yao said.
"I don't need you to take me home," Wang Yilong said to his son. "It's so close to home. I'll go back by myself. You should hurry back and pay the consultation fee. He has helped us a lot. We can't owe him."
"I'll take you home first," Wang Yao said. "I'll pay the bill later. It's just a few steps away." After Wang Zecheng sent his father home, he went out of the house and came to the clinic.
"Well, how much is the medicine this time?" Wang Zecheng asked.
"The same as last time," Wang Yao said.
This medicine used six kinds of licorice roots. Although the number was different and some were more and some were less, they were absolutely precious. A few thousand yuan was far from being able to buy them. Even the price of one kind of licorice root was not worth it.
"Oh, OK." Wang Zecheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that the medicine fee would increase. In that case, he would not be able to afford it.
"Go back and carefully observe the changes in your uncle. If there are any problems, come to me in time."
"Oh, OK, I know. Thank you."
"OK, let's go back."
Wang Zecheng came out of the clinic and returned home. He went directly to his father's room. The old man was drinking water.
"Did you pay for the medicine?"
"Yes."
"How much?"
"500 yuan." Wang Zecheng lied.
"Ah, that's OK."
