He seemed to be sensitive to the cold. It was now just early winter, so it was not one of the coldest days. However, he wore a down jacket and a hat. His face was a little bit pale, and his eyes were a little bit puffy. He obviously suffered from a deficiency of Qi and blood and irregular breathing.

"Please have a seat," Wang Yao said. "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I am really sensitive to chill, especially in winter," the man said. "I don't go out of the room on the coldest days. If I do, my limbs feel cold and then my whole body becomes cold, even trembling."

He was weak and talking in a trembling voice. This was a symptom of vital energy deficiency , which usually happened to women. Men were usually full of Yang Qi in their 30s, which meant they should be strong.

"Let me check," Wang Yao said.

He found the man's vital energy deficiency was serious, even more than some weak women.

"You need to nourish your body," Wang Yao said.

"I usually do," the man said.

"How?" Wang Yao asked.

"I take some ginseng liquor and traditional medicine," the man replied.

"Apart from nourishment, you need exercise to dredge your blood and meridians so your Qi and blood can be strong," Wang Yao said. This was why they said life lay in movement.

In addition to the vital energy deficiency, Wang Yao found the man's internal organs were not functioning well, neither was his intestine and stomach. This meant low-efficient absorption. Even if he usually took supplements, he might fail to absorb them.

Wang Yao made a prescription to tonify his body, which was mainly based on some herbs to consolidate his corporeity and strengthen his Yang qi.

"The treatment course is seven days," Wang Yao said. "You need to do moderate exercise and keep cheerful. Return again when you finish the medicine."

"Alright, thanks." The man left with his medicine.

It was strange that his energy deficiency was so serious. It usually only happened to people with advanced diseases. His body was still normal, except for his slightly weak organs. This patient was indeed a little bit strange.

…

In the Jing hospital.

"Changhe, you need to help me," his old classmate said.

"Why were you infected with such a disease?" Su Changhe looked angry.

"Ah, I don't know, but she looked nice. Who knows?" the old classmate said.

"How long?" Su Changhe asked.

"About three months," the old classmate said.

"You didn't come for three months?" Su Changhe was shocked.

"I was ashamed," the old classmate said. "I tried some folk prescription, but it failed."

"Folk prescription?" Su Changhe was angrier. "Didn't you infect Xiaomei?"

"Hard to say," the old classmate said.

"You're a bastard," Su Changhe said.

"Don't scold me. I just didn't tell her!" the old classmate said.

"Take her to the hospital and have her get tested at once!" Su Changhe demanded

"OK, I will. But, what about my disease?" the old classmate asked.

"It's hard to cure. I need to think more because about it," Su Changhe said.

After sending this old classmate out, Su Changhe called his fellow grads to consult.

"Yes, yes... sexually transmitted disease. Not me!" one classmate exclaimed.

"OK, alright, thanks." Su Changhe sighed deeply when he hung up. He thought of Wang Yao. He hesitated for a while and then called him.

"Doctor Wang, it's me. Su Changhe," he said.

"Hello, Professor Su." Wang Yao was shocked a bit because he never thought he would call him.

"The thing is... I have a question to consult with you on," Su Changhe said.

"You're too humble, please say it," Wang Yao said.

After hearing about the venereal disease, Wang Yao subconsciously wanted to refuse to treat it. It was not because he couldn't. He just didn't want to.

"Sorry," he replied.

"Ah, but there might be an innocent person involved," Su Changhe said.

"Then, let the innocent person come," Wang Yao said after a minute's silence.

…

In an apartment in Jing.

"Xiaomei, please listen to me," a man said.

"Que Chongyang, it never occurred to me that you could something like this!" A middle-aged, but aging-well, woman could not believe what she heard from her husband.

Her trustworthy husband unexpectedly betrayed her. It was likely that he had infected her with a horrible disease.

"Xiaomei, calm down. Just go to hospital to have a test. You might be alright," the man said.

The women turned back and left at once.

"I'll come with you," the man said.

"No, keep far from me. You make me disgusted," she said.

Bang! The woman slammed the door heavily.

The man left in the room wallowed in regret, but it was too late.

At the hospital, Su Changhe was grim-faced and embarrassed. The test report clenched in his hand was almost crumbled.

"Xiaomei, it shows you've been infected," he said.

"God!" the women felt her head spinning. "Why?"

She could not help crying.

"You need to receive treatment immediately," Su Changhe said.

"Can it be cured?" she asked.

"Yes, it can," Su Changhe said.

In fact, it was hard to be cured completely.

"Alright, do I need to be hospitalized?" she asked.

"No, you don't have to. I made an appointment with an expert. I'll take you there," Su Changhe said. "What about Chongyang?"

"I don't want to see him," she said.

"Alright, don't cry," Su Changhe said.

He brought her and his old classmate to the appointment. The expert read her test report, frowned and checked her body.

"I'll prescribe some medicine," the doctor said.

"Do I need to be hospitalized?" she asked.

"Not at this stage," the doctor replied.

Su Changhe sent her out to the downstairs after she took medicine.

"There's no need to worry too much. Take the medicine on time and return to have a test again after some time," Su Changhe said.

"OK. Sorry I have bothered you so much," she said.

"We are old classmates. Don't say that," Su Changhe said.

He did not go back until he saw her leave. Then, he went to find his colleague.

"Lao He, what about the her disease?" he asked.

"I don't want to hide it. To be honest, it's not optimistic," his colleague said. "She has HPV and TP. Each of them is hard to be cured. Fortunately, it is in the early stage."

"How confident are you?" Su Changhe asked. "I know you've succeeded in curing such a disease."

"That was a single symptom, and it was only a clinical recovery," the colleague replied. "It might relapse after leaving the hospital. But, I'll try my best."

"Good, what about having supper together?" Su Changhe asked.

"Not necessary," the colleague said.

"Come on, I'll show you at the old place," Su Changhe said.

His colleague finally agreed.

Su Changhe went back to his office, sat on his chair, and looked outside.

"Damn it," he suddenly said.

In the village, Wang Yao was standing on the mountain overlooking the village. It was getting dark.

He turned back to walk toward one side of the mountain. A dog followed him. There was a cliff at a corner of Nanshan Hill. It was more than 65-foot drop.

"San Xian, what would happen if I jumped down here?" Wang Yao asked the dog.

The dog did not reply. It just looked down and then raised its head to look at him. It was as if it was looking at an idiot.

"Why do you look at me in that way?" Wang Yao asked. "Let's go down the hill and have a meal."

The next morning, Wang Yao finished his usual practice on the top of the mountain and came again to the edge of the cliff. He did not know why, but he wanted to try to jump.

It might have been to challenge his limits. Or, maybe he just wanted to make trouble. Regardless, once the idea generated, he wanted to try. Just like in Haiqu on that day when he passed by the beach, he just wanted to see the sea.

He wanted to test his limits. He took a deep breath and jumped down like a bird but did not fly. The wind whispered in his ear. The ground below him was getting closer and closer. There were also some raised rocks below.

Bang!

His whole body fell down to the bottom of the mountain. The rock under his feet cracked. He was fine. He just felt a little shock and his Qi and blood going upside and down. That was all.

He raised his head to look. He jumped down more than 65 feet but was still fine. He was not a human being now.

Go up?

His whole body bent slightly. With his neixi flowing like a river, like a goshawk, he skyrocketed over a distance of more than 30 feet. He felt the lack of momentum. He slammed slightly into the raised mountain rock. Then, he reached the top of the mountain.
