Creak. The wooden door was pushed open.

The exquisite decoration of the small courtyard really surprised Su Changhe.

It was very beautiful.

It could be even be said that he had never seen a more exquisite courtyard.

The flowers and saplings were well-arranged.

Even the air in the small courtyard seemed to be even fresher as well.

“Dr. Wang,” Wei Hai called out softly.

With that, Su Changhe met the person whom he wanted to meet for months: a young man who took him by surprise.

Wang Yao wore a simple t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants, which were very plain. He seemed to be either 25 or 26 years old and his eyes were exceptionally clear.

“This is Su Changhe from Jing City. Dr. Su.”

“Hello.”

Putting the shock in his heart aside for the time being, Su Changhe greeted with a smile, “Hello. I’ve long wanted to visit.”

“Welcome. Please come in.”

The furnishings in the house were very simple. He only had a sofa, tables, chairs, and a couple bookcases.

There was a pot of tea on the table. Next to it was a few bunches of grapes.

“Please drink some tea.”

“Thank you.”

What a fine tea!

Su Changhe praised after taking a sip. He was also a person who enjoyed drinking tea. Being a specialist with marvelous pharmaceutical prowess, it was impossible to say that he did not accept gifts. Therefore, he had also received plenty of fine tea, but this was the first time that he had drank a tea like this.

This was excellent!

“These tea leaves are planted by Dr. Wang himself,” Wei Hai said. The taste of the tea leaves was very unique. He had drank it many times before and he could taste it with just a sip.

“I’ve also planted these grapes myself. Taste it.”

“Okay.”

Su Changhe’s eyes lit up again as he took one and ate it.

“It’s delicious!” It was the simplest and most sincere comment he could have given.

After drinking the tea and eating the grapes, Su Changhe did not know how to start to talk about what he wanted to.

He originally wanted to have a look, ask a few questions and have a melding of minds, but Wang Yao was so young.

At last, he just directly asked, “Dr. Wang, how did you cure Mr. Wei’s strange illness?”

“Wipe out the poisonous insects and consolidate his corporeity,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

This was Wang Yao’s main principle when treating his illness. All of the treatment processes and medications were carried out by revolving around two aspects. It sounded very easy, but the whole treatment process was complicated and lengthy.

“Did you study Chinese medicine?”

“Yes. To be accurate, I’m a pharmacist.”

“Pharmacist?” Su Changhe was startled. He could not remember the last time he had heard this ancient title. “It’s the ancient title of a herbal worker and a doctor. A prominent pharmacist can heal all illnesses!”

Wang Yao nodded his head while smiling.

Su Changhe felt a bit emotional. He initially thought that this title had already disappeared in the long course of history, just like the decline of Chinese medicine now. He did not expect to actually hear such a word again from a young man in this small mountain village.

He was very happy.

There was hope!

“Pharmacist Wang, which aspect of treatment are you good at?” Su Changhe immediately corrected himself.

It was the first time that Wang Yao had heard someone calling him a pharmacist. It sounded like a tongue twister, but there was an inexplicable joy in his heart.

“I’m good at medication and massaging.”

Sss. Su Changhe was slightly dumbfounded.

He wanted to ask which specialty Wang Yao was proficient in, such as cardiology or brain surgery. However, Wang Yao’s answer was the treatment methods which he was good at.

“Oh.” Su Changhe nodded.

Although he studied Western medicine, he had also dabbled a little in Chinese medicine. Hence, he could communicate a little with Wang Yao.

During the exchange, he discovered that the young man had knowledge that was not on par with his age. The medical knowledge which Wang Yao knew had benefited him a lot. He had even somewhat become enlightened from the interaction. At the same time, Wang Yao had also learnt a few things.

“This conversation with Pharmacist Wang has helped me a lot!” Su Changhe exclaimed.

“I’ve also learnt lots of things from Dr. Su,” Wang Yao replied.

After the conversation, they felt a bit of regret for not meeting each other earlier.

Wang Yao had also once felt this way when he had a conversation with Sang Guzi at Cangzhou.

Confidant. Yes, this was the word.

“Have you ever thought about leaving this place and go somewhere else?” Su Changhe asked.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought that Wang Yao’s knowledge was really wasted by opening a medical center in this place.

“I don’t have such a plan for the time being,” Wang Yao replied with a smile.

“Sigh. It’s a waste for you to be here!” Su Changhe said with a sigh.

“I think that it’s quite good here.”

Wang Yao liked his life very much at the moment. It could even be said that he somewhat enjoyed it. On the other hand, he did not like the kind of life that Su Changhe had, in which he was either busy in the hospital all day or going to other hospitals for assistance.

“Why don’t you stay for lunch?”

“Sure,” Su Changhe readily agreed.

Wang Yao did not choose to have lunch at home. Instead, he chose the hotel in the downtown village. He had also picked some very special dishes, of which most of them were mountain delicacies. Su Changhe could also eat these in Jing City, but the cooking methods might not be as authentic as the ones here. The chefs of some large hotels might not be as good as the chefs of small restaurants when they were cooking certain dishes.

“Mmm, it tastes pretty good!”

Su Changhe did not compliment the food only once throughout the meal.

“Haha. They’re all things from the mountains. The important thing is that they’re natural.”

Others might not be able to tell if something was good or not, but Wang Yao could taste it in an instant. After all, with the practice these days, his body now was already far from being comparable to those of normal people. His five senses were even more extraordinary. Apart from his vision and hearing, his sense of taste had also become a lot more sensitive than before.

With just a taste, he would know if the food was natural or artificially cultivated. The food was authentic this time. The dishes served were venison from the mountains.

“When is Dr. Su planning to go back to Jing City?”

“Tomorrow.”

“So soon?!”

“To be honest, I came to Haiqu City this time to see you specially,” Su Changhe replied.

Otherwise, he might not even be willing to come at the invitation of the People’s Hospital of Haiqu City.

“Really?”

“Yes. I had seen Mr. Wei’s illness before and I had spent some time researching it specifically. I had also tried to treat it, but it didn’t work very well. However, you managed to cure his illness, so I was very curious about it and I wanted to meet you badly.” After drinking a few glasses of beer in addition to the conversation at the medical center, the conversation between the two became more casual.

“I really didn’t expect an expert like you who’s so young in this mountain village.”

“Haha. You’re flattering me.” Wang Yao waved his hand with a smile.

Both the guest and the host were thoroughly enjoying themselves during the meal.

Su Changhe left in the afternoon. Wang Yao gifted him with two bags of chestnut flowers, which were considered as a local specialty.

Before leaving, Su Changhe invited Wang Yao to visit Jing City when he was free. They each left their contact numbers.

After seeing Wei Hai and Su Changhe off, Wang Yao did not go up the hill in a hurry and went home instead.

“Was there a guest?”

“Yes. He’s from Jing City and he has already left,” Wang Yao replied while drinking some water.

“Did he ask you to treat a patient again?”

“No,” Wang Yao responded. “He was just here to see me.”

Wang Yao had to go to the county town in the afternoon to drive his sister back. It was originally already Monday, but she stayed at home for another day.

“Sister, you’re so capricious in working!”

“Why can’t I stay another day?”

“It’s not that. It’s really unreasonable that a person like you can actually still be promoted!”

Wang Ru was already the section chief now, but the people in her department actually even had the intention of promoting her. This made Wang Yao very surprised. After all, his sister did not have any connections or background. It was already very rare that she could be a section chief. In the officialdom in the country, it was very difficult to be promoted just by working hard with one’s ability and not finding anyone to back her.

“I also think that it’s quite weird. Will there be a conspiracy?”

“Hmm, you have to be more careful. You have to tell me in time if something really happens.”

“Okay.”

While the siblings arrived in Lianshan County, Wei Hai and Su Changhe had not returned to Haiqu City yet because Su Changhe had asked Wei Hai to handle some personal matters. Wei Hai took him to take a look at the seaside villas which were built recently.

“Do you want to buy one?”

“I do have such a thought,” Su Changhe replied.

The transportation from Jing City to here was very convenient because Haiqu City was near the sea and an airport was built recently. Therefore, many people from Jing City had bought houses here. They did not usually stay here. They would stay here for a period of time during summer or the holidays. Compared with Jing City, the environment of Haiqu City was very good. The sky was more clear and there was no smog.
