She had to leave even though she didnât achieve anything. Her son had to continue to suffer. Hou Shidaâs mother became increasingly upset.
âYou wait!â Hou Shidaâs mother coldly shouted as she took a glance at the young doctor standing there quietly. She didnât hide her hatred towards him.
The men who came with her thought, That young doctorâs gonna be in trouble!
Wang Yao, however, didnât care. I guess I got myself one more enemy, he thought.
This wasnât the first time he had offended someone. He wouldnât treat a scumbag like Hou Shida. It would be an insult to him, a Traditional Chinese Pharmacist. He was not Buddha, who would try to save anyone regardless of whether the person was good or bad. No, even the Buddha wouldnât help just anyone.
It was quiet that night.
...
In a pub in Dao, a couple were in a room on the first floor. They were having sex in a big comfortable bed in the bedroom.
Wonderful! the man in bed thought. That doctor didnât trick me!
He had been in hell the past few days. He couldnât do anything with his girlfriend, who was a very attractive woman. Every time he was aroused, he experienced a sharp pain in his lower belly. It was torture to him.
âAre you OK?â His girlfriend had asked him many times. She was concerned about him since he was the person she was going to spend the rest of her life with.
âFine, Iâm fine!â He had repeatedly reassured his girlfriend there was nothing wrong with him.
Fortunately, Wang Yao didnât trick him and had made him normal again. He lit a cigarette and leaned on his pillow to take a rest.
âYou should stop smoking.â His girlfriend took the cigarette away. âHoney.â
âOh yeah?â the man asked.
âShall we get married?â his girlfriend asked.
âSure,â the man replied.
âReally?â the woman excitedly asked.
âOf course,â the man said.
He hadnât had a stable partner for many years. It was time for him to settle with a woman. His parents also wanted to have grandchildren. He knew he couldnât stay single forever.
âGreat!â His girlfriend was thrilled. She hugged him and gave him a big kiss.
âLetâs do it again,â the man said.
âNo, stop!â His girlfriend pretended to resist him.
The room was full of love.
...
An unexpected visitor came to the village the next morning.
âHello, what brings you here?â Wang Yao asked.
The visitor was Miao Sanding, a Feng Shui master. âHello, Dr. Wang, sorry to bother you again.â
âWhat can I do for you?â Wang Yao asked.
âI want to discuss with you about something,â Miao Sanding said.
Wang Yao had done him a big favor last time by getting rid of the evil soul in Hongzhou. Miao Sanding would never forget it. He had been thinking of how to pay the favor back to Wang Yao. He neither had much money nor anything precious. The only thing he had was his Feng Shui knowledge.
It suddenly occurred to him one day that he sensed some deadly aura on Xishan Hill. So, he wanted to do something about it. He wanted to help Wang Yao get rid of the deadly aura. It was his way to pay the favor back.
âPlease come in.â Wang Yao invited him into the clinic.
He had a good impression of Miao Sanding. He thought the man was a nice person. Otherwise, he wouldnât have gone all the way to Hongzhou to help him.
Wang Yao made Miao Sanding a cup of tea in the clinic. After they had sat down, Miao Sanding told Wang Yao the purpose of his visit.
âI see. I would really appreciate it if you could help!â Wang Yao liked Miao Sanding even more after learning he wanted to help with the deadly places on Xishan Hill.
It was not common nowadays for people to remember a favor from others and pay it back.
âI want to know how you are going to get rid of the deadly aura,â Wang Yao said.
âI need to go there to have another look, and arrange something over there,â Miao Sanding said.
âOK, letâs go,â Wang Yao said.
As they were about to leave the clinic, an old patient came to see Wang Yao. The patient had a kyphotic posture. He looked miserable.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Wang Yao asked.
âI have a bad back pain,â the old man said with a sigh.
He was in his 70s. His physical health had been declining.
âPlease take a seat and let me take a look at you.â Wang Yao helped the old man sit down and took a good look at him. âI donât think you should work in the field anymore.â
The old man suffered from chronic muscle strain in his lumbar area. He also had problems with his lumbar spine due to overworking.
The old man sighed. He didnât want to continue working either. He was nearly 80 years old. However, his son had just bought a big apartment in the town center and had his second child. His daughter-in-law had resigned from her job since she had to take care of two young children. So, his son was the sole breadwinner of the family. He was employed by a company in town and worked really hard to support his family. He had become thinner and thinner due to the hard work.
Since the old manâs wife was in her 80s and in poor health, she couldnât help with babysitting. Thus, he felt sorry for his son. He tried his best to help his son financially.
âLet me give you a massage. Please lie on your stomach for me,â Wang Yao said.
The old man laid on his stomach on the bed. Wang Yao started to give him a massage. The pain disappeared after five minutes. The old man had a warm feeling in his waist. He felt really comfortable. After 20 minutes, he not only felt more comfortable in his lower back, but he also felt stronger.
âDone,â Wang Yao said.
âYao, you are fantastic!â the old man exclaimed. âHow much should I pay you?â
The old man took out an envelope out of his pocket with shaking hands. He had some cash in it, but it was not much.
âYou donât need to pay me,â Wang Yao replied.
âNo, thatâs not right,â the old man said.
âThatâs fine. It was just a massage,â Wang Yao said. âYou need to rest as often as you can. Donât go back to the field in such hot weather. I also noticed a problem with blood flow in your head. You donât have sufficient blood flow. You must take good care of yourself.â
Since old man was nearly 80 years old, he was prone to sickness. He really shouldnât continue to work in the field, especially in such hot weather. If he passed out in the field and no one was around, he would be in big trouble.
âOK, thank you very much.â The old man left the clinic.
It was sad that the old man had no one to rely on. Wang Yao slipped into deep thinking as he was watching the old man leaving.
âNowadays so many old people have to offer their children financial support.â He turned to Miao sanding and said, âLetâs go.â
The two of them went to the two deadly places on Xishan hill.
âHmm!â Miao Sanding felt something wrong before even reaching the top of Xishan Hill. He went all the way up with knitted brows. Wang Yao didnât say anything. He just stood next to Miao Sanding quietly.
âStrange!â Miao Sanding walked around the two deadly places and the rest of the hill.
âWhat do you think?â Wang Yao asked.
âThe two places are really strange,â Miao Sanding said. It was the first time he had come across places like these. âI donât feel the two places were part of the hill. Itâs like they were planted on the hill.â
âI found strange insects here before,â Wang Yao said. âThose were very poisonous and fierce insects.â
âInsects?â Miao Sanding asked with surprise. âPoisonous insects?â
âIâm not exactly sure,â Wang Yao said. âI havenât come across many poisonous insects.â
âMaybe the aura here has something to do with those insects,â Miao Sanding said.
He walked around the two deadly places again while thinking about methods to get rid of the deadly aura.
âShall we visit the other hills nearby?â he suggested.
Right next to Xishan Hill was Wang Yaoâs Nanshan Hill. Of course, Nanshan Hill was much more alive.
âWhat a wonderful place!â Miao Sanding was very impressed.
Wang Yao just smiled. Nanshan Hill was a wonderful place because of the Spirit Gathering Battle Array.
Miao Sanding took a close look at Nanshan Hill. He looked over at Xishan Hill and started to think. He finally said, âMaybe we can move some aura from Nanshan hill to Xishan Hill.â
âCan you? How?â Wang Yao curiously asked.
âI need to set up a Feng Shui battle array,â Miao Sanding said. âOf course, it is just a plan. Iâll arrange something here to allow the aura to expand to Xishan hill fast.â
âCan we plant some trees in those areas?â Wang Yao asked.
âYes, but we need to make sure those trees will survive,â Miao Sanding replied.
âI can make them survive,â Wang Yao said.
According to his experiments, he could basically identify the area where soil was poisoned. In addition, the bristle grasses and dandelions could resist the poison in the soil.
âThat will be great,â Miao Sanding said.
They left Nanshan Hill. Miao Sanding said goodbye to Wang Yao. He had a basic idea now, so he just needed details on how to implement his plan. He still needed to think about it. He didnât normally set up a Feng Shui battle array for such a purpose.
