âOh, thatâs good.â Wang Yilong breathed a sigh of relief.
He found his son had recently become very busy. He went to work during the day, and he went out to work at night. When he came home, he was tired and didnât say anything. After eating, the two would have a small talk. His son would then go to bed early. He looked distressed but only answered âNothingâ if asked.
His son was sensible now. Compared with the past, he was a changed person, which was a good thing. Wang Zilong was happy, but he did not want his son to be so tired. It had been going on some time, so he was worried that his sonâs body would wear out.
âHow many days he has to rest at home?â Wang Zilong asked.
âMy suggestion is at least seven days. Otherwise, it may leave a root for more serious illnesses,â Wang Yao said.
âLeave a root for illnesses?â Wang Yilong was nervous.
âAs long as he gets a break and goes to the clinic every two days, where I can give him a check, there will be no problem,â Wang Yao said, âThere is no need to be too worried about it.â
âOh, thatâs good,â Wang Zilong said.
âUncle, how have you been feeling recently?â Wang Yao asked.
âIâm goodâ Wang Zilong said. âI eat more than before.â
âYes, thatâs good.â Wang Yao said.
It was indeed a good thing to be able to eat. In general, people who were seriously ill often could not eat anything.
âSorry to have disturbed your dinner,â Wang Zilong said.
âItâs no problem. Do you want to have some with us?â Wang Yao asked.
âNo, I have already eaten,â Wang Yilong said. He then got up and left.
âWhat happened to Zecheng?â Zhang Xiuying asked.
âHe fell off his bike,â Wang Yao said.
âIs it bad?â his mother asked.
âIt is not particularly serious,â Wang Yao said.
âWell, I donât think Yilong looks too bad,â Wang Fenghua said.
They knew about real illness.
âHis complexion is good,â Wang Yao said.
He didnât look carefully, but through his breathing, he was able to smell a rancid smell. This meant the problem in his body was still very serious. After all, it was a terminal disease.
âYilong didnât live any easy and comfortable life. Itâs nice that his son has become a sensible good boy,â Wang Fenghua said.
âA prodigal son is more valued than gold,â Wang Yao said.
âYes, it is more valued than gold,â his father said.
After returning, Wang Yilong was relieved. As long as his son was fine, that was what mattered.
In a courtyard, Wen Wan coughed a few times.
âThe martial law was lifted.â Professor Lu was smoking a cigarette.
âYeah.â Fan Youren also was smoking.
The martial law had been lifted for several days, which was relief for them. During that period, the days were difficult. They could not go out. They were worried about the pathogenic bacteria that was highly contagious and had an extremely high mortality.
They werenât worried about themselves. They were caring for Wen Wan, who had a serious illness. She was like a light in the wind and rain. She could be extinguished at any time. If she was infected with the serious illness, even god could not save her.
âLetâs go, professor,â Fan Youren said.
âWhere are you going?â Professor Lu looked at the young man with a look of surprise. âYour motherâs illness has just begun to improve. Do you think that if you go other places, they will have a way to do it better than Dr. Wang?â
âNo, I am just worried,â Fan Youren said.
They had been using the drugs Wang Yao gave to his mother, and they were surprised that the drug actually had an effect. His motherâs illness was really getting better. Her complexion was also getting better. Her body had begun to get more energy. She was even able to get up to do some activities. Such obvious changes naturally made him very happy, but the sudden occurrence of a pathogenic bacteria made him worried.
More than a dozen people died. Such things could not be hidden. He might have even seen or talked to some of these people,
Fan Youren was still young. He was worried about his motherâs health, and his own health. As the old saying went, âGentlemen do not stand against the dangerous wall.â He knew there was danger but stayed, which was not wise.
âWe can leave with the medicine. After it is used up, I will come back to get more,â Fan Youren said. Since he made such a suggestion, he had already thought about the related problem.
âWhat if there is an accident?â Professor Lu asked.
âThat...â In fact, that was also a problem he did not currently have a solution for.
Fan Youren had to admit that Wang Yaoâs medical skills were indeed brilliant. Before treatment, his mother had two obvious physical discomforts, and her condition was instantly aggravated. After being treated by Wang Yao, his motherâs illness was quickly stabilized.
âWhat about this, Youren, if you have something to do, go ahead,â Professor Lu said. âI will stay here with your mother.â
âI donât mean that,â Fan Youren said.
âAs for the disease you are worried about, I asked Dr. Wang about it,â Professor Lu said. âHavenât we already taken the medicine?â
âThen, Iâll wait another two days,â Fan Youren said.
He had been somewhat annoyed recently, but it was much better now that the martial law was over.
The night was quiet. Wang Yao went to Nanshan Hill alone. It was a little dim.
Wang Yao looked at the system panel in front of him. âAlmost full!â
His experience bar had a considerable increase. When he first discovered this, he was surprised because he had not completed any obvious tasks recently. He hadnât seen too many patients, but the experience bar increased quickly. After he had inquired, he knew that this was because he successfully developed a drug that could cure a terrible disease. This was a special reward, which had never happened before.
He though, I wonder what kind of reward will happen after this upgrade?
The next morning, the man who had anorexia came early. It was a little before 8:30 a.m., so Wang Yao was still on the mountain. The man waited. He was accompanied by his wife.
âHe is not here?â the wife asked.
âHeâs coming back very soon,â the man said. âYesterday, it was he who told me to let come.â
They waited for about 20 minutes. Wang Yao finally came down from the mountain. âYou have come so early.â
âNot that early,â the man said.
âSorry.â Wang Yao opened the clinic door and invited the couple in. âAre you still not able to eat?â
âI still donât like to eat,â the man said. âI can only eat some fluid food and drink some soup.â
Wang Yao started to explain the treatment plan he had prepared to the couple.
âDo you have any questions?â he asked.
âWell, we can try it,â the man.
He indeed did not like to eat, which was true, but he did not dislike liquid foods or juice drinks.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPlease remember that there must be no filaments in the liquid food, which must be guaranteed,â Wang Yao told the manâs wife.
The cause of this anorexia was hair. He had a certain degree of sensitivity to silky food, so it required special attention to avoid aggravating the condition.
âOh, Iâll keep that in mind,â the woman said.
She had been worried about her husbandâs strange disease. Out of nowhere, he didnât want to eat anything. Even if he was hungry, he wouldnât eat. He had gone three days without eating, so she was concerned the illness would cause other problems.
âHere is the medicine I prescribed. It is all food,â Wang Yao said. âDonât worry about this disease. Take time with the treatment.â
âOK. Thank you, Dr. Wang,â the man said.
âYouâre welcome. Relax your mind, and donât think about those things when you eat,â Wang Yao said.
âYes, Iâll try hard.â The man smiled.
His body was now quite thin. It was as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.
When the couple left, Professor Lu came in. âHello, Dr. Wang.â
âHello, didnât you sleep well last night?â Wang Yao asked.
âNo, I didnât sleep well,â Professor Lu said.
He had been in the mountain village for more than a month. He had wanted to leave, but then martial law was declared. After being gone for a month, he was beginning to worry about what his family would think, even the most harmonious couple would have some doubts.
âHow is Wen Wanâs illness?â Professor Lu asked.
âShe is recovering well,â Wang Yao said.
He had used a dilution of ointment for continuing life, and the treatment had been very effective.
