âReally?â Du Baozhan was thrilled. He had recovered well lately. He hadnât had any withdrawal episodes or discomfort. He thought he was fine. The good news from Wang Yao confirmed his thought. Du Baozhan was really happy. He felt he was given a second chance in his life.
âOf course, donât ever touch drugs again,â Wang Yao said.
âI wonât!â Du Baozhan exclaimed with determination.
The experience of taking drugs had a huge impact on his life. It changed his view toward life. As a result, he would step onto a totally different path of life. It had been a crisis as well as a turning point. This was what Du Baozhan was ready to face.
âThank you very much,â he said.
Broken bones well set became stronger. Wang Yao believed Du Baozhan was worth saving.
âCould you please take a look at my father?â Du Baozhan asked.
Du Feng had taken the decoction from Wang Yao for his heart condition. He felt much better afterwards, especially in his chest. He had a warm feeling in his chest. His breath was smoothing, and he had more strength in his feet. He hadnât had any heart problem lately. He felt 10 years younger. He hoped that the good feeling could last. Wang Yao had told him that he would be cured.
âLet me take a look,â Wang Yao said.
He checked over Du Feng. His condition had been improving. If a human beingâs heart was an engine, Du Fengâs heart was not working properly. It needed to be fixed. If he came across a good engineer, he would be fine and his engine would continue to work. If not, the whole vehicle would be written off.
âYou are getting better,â Wang Yao said. âBut, it seems you havenât had a good rest lately?â
Wang Yao was right. Du Feng had been busy with work. He was sacrificing his health for his career and wealth.
âYes, Iâve been really busy,â Du Feng said. He had a lot issues to deal with at work, especially since it was close to the Chinese New Year.
âYou have to change your lifestyle. Otherwise, I donât think any treatment will work,â Wang Yao calmly said.
Du Fengâs face changed. âOkay, I will, I will.â
âYou are right, Dr. Wang. He will follow your advice,â his wife said.
âCome back to get your decoction tomorrow,â Wang Yao said.
They didnât book an appointment in advance, so Wang Yao didnât brew the decoction for Du Feng.
âOK, thank you,â Du Feng said.
Du Baozhan and his parents let out a big sigh of relief after they left the clinic.
âDad, donât worry about those things in your company. If you keep working this hard, your health will be damaged. Then, what do you need all the money for?â he asked.
âBaozhan is right, Feng, your health is the priority,â Du Baozhanâs mother said.
âIâll make arrangements at work tomorrow,â Du Feng said. âIâm not going to deal with those issues. Iâll wait until I get better.â
He understood what Wang Yao meant. Before Wang Yao gave advice to him, for whatever reason, he felt scared and sweated due to fear. He was afraid that Wang Yao wouldnât treat him because he hadnât been cooperative. He was afraid that his health would deteriorate.
When there was a silver lining, the most horrible thing was if suddenly the hope was taken away. Du Feng was in similar situation. He decided that he must get better in the next few years, even he couldnât work at all.
...
In Zhu, several youngsters were in a restaurant.
âHey Honglin, what have you been doing? I havenât seen you for ages,â a young man said.
âNothing special, just staying at home most of the time,â Sun Honglin said after taking a sip of wine.
âWhat about Xiaofeng and Baozhan?â the young man asked.
âThey are probably busy,â Sun Honglin replied.
He was reluctant to mention his two friends. He was not happy with them. They used to hang out all the time, but that was no longer the case. He found he had nothing to say to Xiaofeng a few days ago, which really upset him. Fortunately, his father was away at the moment, which allowed him to get out of the house. He asked several of his friends out for a drink.
It was snowing outside but very warm inside.
âDo you guys want to have some fun later on?â one of Sun Honglinâs friends asked.
âNo, Iâm not interested,â Sun Honglin replied.
âHey, I know a really good place,â his friend said.
Sun Honglin was dazed for a moment. âWhat place?â
âA place full of pretty foreign girls,â his friend said.
âWhat?â Everyone at the table was surprised to hear this. It was not uncommon for people of their age to be interested in women and luxurious cars.
âWanna check it out?â Sun Honglinâs friend asked.
Sun Honglin was staring at the wine glass in his hand. He hesitated. He really wanted to go. The place sounded tempting to him. He was much easier to be tempted than Du Baozhan and He Xiaofeng.
Go, just go with them! Donât go! Two voices were fighting in his head.
âWell, Iâll think about it. Letâs drink,â Sun Honglin replied.
âOK, drink,â his friend said.
The youngsters were afraid of nothing. They drank to their limit. Drinking wine was good. Wine could make a person bold and improve blood flow. However, it could also be bad. Drinking too much wine could make a person forgetful and damage oneâs stomach.
Apparently, these youngsters drank too much. They couldnât even walk properly. One of them called two taxis, which brought them to a place in Zhu.
Where is this place? Sun Honglin could barely open his eyes. A moment later, he saw a blond woman with blue eyes in front of him. A foreign girl? He was dazed.
âGive us something exciting!â He heard someone talking. He then drank something. He wasnât sure what it was. He felt high immediately. It was as if his blood was burning. He needed to let go of his energy. The foreign woman walked toward him. She seemed to be smiling. She seemed naked.
Go for it! There was only one voice left inside his head. As for the other voice against it, Sun Honglin couldnât hear it anymore. At the moment, he just wanted to do whatever he wanted to let go of all his stress.
When he woke up, he found himself naked in bed. He had a headache and felt weak. A blond woman with blue eyes laid next to him. Her skin was pale. Her breasts were huge. Other than those, she was nothing special, not even good looking.
âYou are great,â the foreign woman said with clumsy Chinese.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her words made Sun Honglin satisfied and proud like he had never felt before. He even wanted to have sex with her again, but his body was out of his control.
The foreign woman laughed. She seemed to know what was on his mind.
He suddenly felt shameful and upset. As a man, he had to be good in bed.
âTry this.â The woman gave him a small pill.
âWhat is this?â Sun Honglin asked hesitantly.
âDonât be afraid,â the woman gently said.
Afraid of what? Itâs just a small pill! He swallowed the pill. His body started to burn. He was full of strength again. He soared above the clouds and wanted to enjoy the trip the best he could. However, he soon fell onto the ground, like a plane suddenly running out of petrol.
Gee! Iâm so tired! His body was emptied. He walked out of the room feeling extremely weak. He couldnât keep his feet steady.
âHi, how did you do?â asked one of his friends who walked close to him.
âYou donât know?â Sun Honglin asked.
âIâve been waiting here to look out for you,â his friend replied with a smile.
âIâm so tired. Letâs go,â Sun Honglin said.
It was cold and windy outside. Sun Honglin shivered. His jacket didnât keep him warm at all. He felt he was naked in the wind. The coldness went straight into his bones.
âGosh, itâs so cold,â Sun Honglin said.
He turned his head back and had a glance at the place he spent last night before he left.
âWhat do you think? Do you wanna come back here again?â his friend asked.
âIâll see,â Sun Honglin said.
He and his friends all went home in this snowy morning.
...
In the village, Wang Yao went out with a jar after lunch.
âWhat are you taking this for?â Zhang Xiuying asked curiously before her son left the house.
âItâs for a good use,â Wang Yao replied.
He carried the jar to the place where he fought Wang Zhicheng and his students. Then, he opened the jar. The jar was filled with pig blood, which was still fresh. The bloody smell came out of the jar. At the same time, he was controlling his Qi.
He conducted an experiment in the morning and found that the poisonous insects were crazy about blood. Therefore, he thought of this way to attract those insects at large. In fact, there were not many insects at large. Wang Yao was most worried about their breeding in certain conditions.
