After Wang Yao had finished preparing the herbs, he went out to practice Tai Chi in a seated position. He leaned against the wall and looked at the sky.
Lianshan was not an industrial city. So the air was nice and clean, and the sky always looked high and far.
Wang Yao had learned something from looking at the sky every night. He could predict the weather of the next day by observing the sky. He found the position of stars contained a lot of secrets, which were worth to observe and study.
Wang Yao didn't go to sleep until the middle of the night. It was so quiet on Nanshan hill. Only the sound of wind could be heard.
Wang Yao got up before dawn the next day. He had a lot to do during the day.
After he had had breakfast, completed breathing exercises, and finished working in the herbal field, the sun was high up in the sky.
It was a nice day. The time was right, the land was fertile, and Wang Yao was ready. It was the perfect time to brew decoction.
Wang Yao made sure he had enough firewood before starting to brew a decoction. He also called his family to tell them that he wouldn't go home for lunch.
"San Xian, I'm about to brew a decoction; don't let anyone in!" shouted Wang Yao.
Woof! Woof! Woof! San Xian barked to accept Wang Yao's instruction and then went on patrol.
Wang Yao started to brew the decoction inside his cottage.
He started a fire, put herbs inside the multifunctional pot, and adjusted the fire accordingly.
As said on TV, the taste of food depended on a cook's experience in ingredients and cooking. It could apply to brewing decoctions, too. Brewing
decoctions involved a lot of factors, including the person's ability to control
the time and fire.
The smell of herbs started to come out of the cottage from 9 am and didn't stop until the afternoon.
Wang Fengming's illness was the most serious among all three patients. Therefore, he required a large number of herbs, and it took much longer to brew the decoction for him. Professor Lu's condition was not too bad, so he didn't need a lot of herbs, and the process of brewing a decoction for him was easy. But, Wang Yao was serious about every single step of brewing decoctions from the beginning to the end.
When Wang Yao had completed brewing all the decoctions and walked out of his cottage to rest, it was late afternoon. The sun became red and was no longer shiny.
Because Wang Yao was going to meet Tong Wei in town the next day, he didn't deliver the decoctions to his patients in town immediately.
Wang Fengming had already felt much better after taking the first dose of decoction Wang Yao gave to him. His spirits had lifted, and his eyes were brighter. Wang Fengming and his wife were very touched when Wang Yao gave them another two doses and insisted that Wang Yao should stay for dinner.
"Sorry, I have to go now. I'm meeting someone in town. Make sure you and auntie rest well," said Wang Yao.
"Okay, thank you. Let me know if you need anything," said Wang Fengming.
"Sure, thanks," said Wang Yao.
Wang Yao drove out of the village after he had delivered the decoction to Wang Fengming. He then drove to Riverside Town, which was located to the southeast of Lianshan to deliver a decoction to Xu Maosheng. It was a twenty minutes' drive for Wang Yao. Xu Maosheng and his wife were both at home when
Wang Yao arrived. Xu Maosheng stopped cooking tea leaves and came out to
welcome Wang Yao.
