Chapter 273: Mountain Wilderness

After having dinner, Wang Yao chatted with his parents for quite some time. Then, he gave them each a massage to relax their muscles.

At half past nine in the evening, Wang Yao left his house and went up Nanshan Hill.

Compared to the prosperity in Jing City, the small mountain village was really too quiet. When it was this late at night, except for the street lights which remained lit, there was not much activity, nor people enjoying the cool air outside. On the other hand, at this time in Jing City, the exciting nightlife had just begun.

As he left the mountain village and went up the hill, it was even quieter.

It was dark in the mountains, and the mountains stood there silently. There was no wind in the mountains, but it was much cooler than in Jing City.

When Wang Yao arrived at the foot of the hill, San Xian, who had already heard his approach, rushed down from the hilltop. It surrounded Wang Yao, happily waving its tail.

“San Xian, is there anything on the hill?”

Woof, woof. The dog actually shook its head.

“I think you’re fat again.” Wang Yao said as he squatted and stroked the dog.

“Let’s go.”

A human and a dog went up the hill.

On Nanshan Hill, the air changed. It was refreshing when the mountain wind blew against the body. Once he entered into the Spirit gathering battle array, he felt even more refreshed.

Caw!

The hawk standing on the treetop flapped its wings and greeted Wang Yao.

“Hello, Daxia.”

At night, Wang Yao walked around the herbal field. He first went to look at the licorice roots (which were numbering more than 10 types), and they were growing quite well. Then, he went to take a look at the common herbs, and they were growing even better. He was only then at ease.

It’s still the best here! Wang Yao sighed.

In the wilderness on Nanshan Hill, there was a light in the dark night. Looking from afar, it seemed to be dim and as small as a soybean. It only went out late at night.

Early in morning, on the huge rock on the peak on Nanshan Hill, there was a silhouette. Wang Yao was practicing Chinese boxing.

As he did so, the main meridians all over his body were dredged. As the saying goes, the smaller streams rise when the main stream is high. Since the main meridians were already unobstructed, the small meridians would naturally be dredged effortlessly.

At this time, neixi passed through his whole body. It could be evoked with a thought and it had great power. According to the mystery in “Natural Classics”, he had just entered the path of practice. He still had a long journey ahead.

Chinese boxing was just a supplement. The profound meaning in the scripture was the ultimate theory.

After nine o’clock in the morning, Chen Boyuan delivered the medicinal herbs to Wang Yao’s house. The amount was greater than the last time.

“Dr. Wang, do you need anything else?”

“No, thank you.”

Chen Boyuan sat in his house for a little while and left after a bit. He considered the gesture to show improvement in their relationship.

After seeing Chen Boyuan off, Wang Yao carried two boxes of medicinal herbs and prepared to go up the hill. After walking for a while, he saw Wang Fengxiang who was exercising on the street. He looked much better than the last time Wang Yao saw him.

“Uncle, are you better?”

“Yao, you’re back. I’m much better.”

“Why don’t I have a look again?”

“Okay, okay.” Wang Fengxiang invited Wang Yao into his house while smiling.

The way he walked was fairly normal. However, it could still be seen that his right leg was still weak. His right hand was a lot worse than his leg. He could swing his elbow and move his fingers, but they were not flexible enough.

Though, it was very impressive to be able to recover to this extent in less than 20 days.

“Well, it’s nothing big. You just have to carry out restorative exercises,” Wang Yao said after checking his pulse.

The blood clots in the channels and collaterals had already been dredged completely. However, this did not mean the illness would heal immediately. There was still more to do.

“Where’s Aunty?”

“She went up the mountain.”

“I’ll give you a massage first. Let me know when she comes back. I’ll teach her some massaging methods to aid the recovery of your illness.”

“Okay,” Wang Fengxiang replied with a smile.

Wang Yao immediately began to massage his acupoints to dredge the blood. He mainly focused on the arms, shoulders, and torso.

The process was over after about half an hour.

“How do you feel?”

“I feel great. I feel a lot lighter, especially my arm. It no longer feels as heavy when it’s lifted,” Wang Fengxiang responded.

After more than half an hour of massage, he really experienced a very obvious effect.

“Yao, your pharmaceutical technology is really amazing.”

“You’re flattering me. As long as it works.”

“Thank you so much, Yao.” Wang Fengxiang was very sincere.

They were just neighbors in the same village. Wang Yao’s help towards him was enormous. It was a huge favor.

“You’re welcome. Rest well. I’ll go up the hill.”

“Okay. Why don’t you have lunch here?”

“It’s okay.” Wang Yao smiled while waving his hand. Then, he carried two boxes of medicinal herbs and went up Nanshan Hill.

After going up the hill, he sorted out the herbs and placed them neatly. Then, he started exchanging the herbs through the system. After a while, the two boxes of medicinal herbs were cleared out.

In the afternoon, he relaxed and carefully smoothed out his thoughts on everything that happened during his trip to Jing City, especially Su Xiaoxue’s condition and the changes he made to the treatment process.

In the evening, Tian Yuantu called him to ask if he was still in Jing City. Professor Lu’s design proposal had been completed, and he wanted Wang Yao to have a look. After hearing that Wang Yao had already returned home, the two of them chose a time to meet up.

At night, after Wang Yao returned home and had dinner, Wang Fengxiang and his wife came to visit.

“Look at you. We live very close to each other. Why do you have to bring gifts every time?” Zhang Xiuying said somewhat unhappily.

“Uncle, Aunty. Come take a seat inside.” Wang Yao gave them tea.

After chatting for a while, Wang Yao began to teach her simple massaging methods.

He only mentioned the knowledge of acupoints, channels, and collaterals in passing. When these things were mentioned excessively, there would be an adverse effect. After all, she didn’t even have basic knowledge in these aspects. Wang Yao only told her about the massaging methods and the specific spots. After demonstrating a few times, he let Wang Fengxiang’s wife try it out. He corrected some parts where she made a mistake. After several times, she could basically do it.

“Well, it’s almost there. You can ask me if you’ve forgotten. We live close to each other anyway.”

“Okay. How often should I do it?”

“There’s no fixed number. Three to four times a day will do. It mainly relies on Uncle’s exercise. This is just to supplement.”

“Okay. Thank you, Yao.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Son, why don’t you teach your father and I too?” Zhang Xiuying suddenly suggested after seeing the couple off.

“What?”

“The massaging methods just now. That way, we can also relax our muscles when you’re not at home.”

“Sure.”

That night, Wang Yao taught the same lesson twice. When he came out from his house to go up the hill, it was already past 10 o’clock at night.

On the way up the hill, he suddenly had an idea. Perhaps this technique of massaging could be promoted appropriately, starting with the people around him.

I’ll think about it properly later.

The next morning, Tian Yuantu and his wife went up the hill.

Tian Yuantu obviously looked a lot better than the last time they met.

“Did you have a nice trip to Jing CIty?”

“It was pretty good. Come take a seat inside.”

“Phew. I feel so refreshed on this hill!” Tian Yuantu exclaimed.

He was not sure why, but he felt that his breathing was smoother and his spirit was more relaxed once he came up to Nanshan Hill. He felt that his body was much lighter.

It was very fascinating.

“Come up here often then,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

He brewed a pot of tea and sat down to diagnose Tian Yuantu.

“You’re doing quite well. Keep consuming the medicine.”

“Okay. Ever since I started using the medicine you prescribed, I also feel that my body is a lot lighter. I became fatter too. Oh right, I almost forgot the proper business. This is the proposal designed by Professor Lu. Take a look and see what you think. Where do you still need modifications?” Tian Yuantu took out a design proposal from the bag he brought with him. It was the medical center that Wang Yao planned to build.

The first was the color renderings which had white walls and black tiles. It was different from Northern architecture. Instead, it had quite the style of Huizhou architecture. It looked pretty good. Behind was the architectural drawings and room split.

“Professor Lu has looked for a lot of information and referred to the design proposals of some ancient medical centers,” Tian Yuantu said from the side.

Wang Yao looked at it again more carefully. After all, once the building was built, it would be a hassle to alter it again.

“It’s quite good,” Wang Yao finally said.

“I still have another proposal here. This is done by the designer in our company. You can have a look at that too. There’s no rush. It’s very easy to build these buildings,” Tian Yuantu suggested.

Such a simple construction project could not even be called a project from their company’s point of view. Of course, because of Wang Yao’s sake, he placed the highest priority on this case.
