Looking at the Prescription
"Keep it up … … It'd be great if it was just keeping it up!" Guan Xuemin sighed. "It's not like you don't know how damaging those painkillers are to your body. Over time, let's not even talk about whether they're still effective or whether your body will develop resistance to them. Even if they don't, you'll still be worn down by the side effects of those painkillers …"
"Right … …" Huaijun remembered something all of a sudden when Guan Xuemin mentioned painkillers: the prescription Lin Yi gave him! He'd gone to the pharmacy with the intention of giving it a try that day.
He'd boiled the medicine a couple of times when he couldn't sleep, and the effects were truly miraculous. His body didn't hurt after a while, and he slept all the way until dawn, feeling indescribably refreshed. It was a hell of a lot better than using painkillers in the middle of the night and having to use them again.
Huaijun wasn't expecting Lin Yi's prescription to be this effective, either. He'd been drinking the medicine for the past couple of days, and the pain had been under control.
As expected of an Eagle, a godlike existence in the team … … Huaijun couldn't help but sigh at his own inferiority. It wasn't just him- everyone in the team who'd fought alongside Lin Yi before was impressed.
No one was jealous of their goddess Infatuated with Lin Yi, because they felt that it was only natural. It couldn't be any more normal than that.
Huaijun remembered the prescription Lin Yi gave him when Guan Xuemin mentioned the painkillers. He hesitated for a moment, deciding that Lin Yi wasn't going to tell anyone about it. Lin Yi was probably on a special mission right now. What if he brought trouble upon himself?
On the other hand, Guan Xuemin was his elder. He'd be dead a long time ago if it weren't for Guan Xuemin! Over the past few days, she had been relying on Xuemin's acupuncture and painkillers to keep her alive …
"Grandpa Guan … … A friend of mine gave me a prescription a couple of days ago, something that can replace the painkiller. I tried it, and the effects were very obvious. The effect was a lot longer than the painkiller, and I only need to drink it once a night … …" Huaijun decided to leave part of the story unsaid. He'd be able to cover both sides at least.
"Prescription? Replace analgesics? "Guan Xuemin's eyes widened." Pharmacy? "
"Yes … …" Huaijun nodded, embarrassed by the glare.
"And it's effective on you?" Xuemin had more surprises today than he had ever eaten in his life! She'd heard from Liu Tianyi that a twenty year old miracle doctor had saved Elder Liu's heart attack with just a massage, and Huaijun, on the other hand, had a prescription that could replace western medicine's painkillers, and was even more effective than the painkillers!
What was wrong with this world? When did the Chinese medicine world become so crazy? Why were there so many experts?
"I won't lie to you, Grandpa Guan. This prescription is very effective on me! Not only does it suppress the pain, but it also makes me feel refreshed the next day … … "Huaijun said honestly.
"Oh? Can I see the prescription? " Xuemin was worried that there might be illegal drugs like poppies in the prescription at first. It'd be normal for the painkillers to be effective if there were, but it'd be very damaging to the body! But then again, Huaijun was a police officer, and a captain at that. How could he not know what poppies were? There was no way he'd touch them. Plus, poppies weren't something you could buy from a regular pharmacy.
If Huaijun had grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, then it had to be something very common, something you could find in regular pharmacies … … Xuemin realized that he was overthinking things.
Xuemin smiled bitterly at the look on Huaijun's face. A lot of prescriptions were top secret stuff, and Doctor Kang, for example. Didn't he use a prescription for an injury medicine to build a pharmaceutical company? He'd even established a supply relationship with the military, turning House Kang into a rising noble house!
If Huaijun's prescription was really that effective, and didn't have any side effects, then it shouldn't be any less valuable than Doctor Kang's injury medicine … …
Asking to see the prescription was a bit too much, Xuemin thought. Thus, he hurriedly explained, "Little Yang, don't overthink it. I know that many prescriptions are confidential. I wanted to see if there were any medicinal herbs with side effects …"
"Grandpa Guan, the prescription isn't something that can be leaked, but it's fine if you want to see it … …" Huaijun paused. "I'll show it to you right away, but I hope you won't leak it before my friend gives me permission … …"
"Of course! I understand the rules, Yang. Don't worry, I won't put you in a difficult position. I won't let anyone else use this prescription before your friend gives his permission! " Xuemin was overjoyed at Huaijun's words- a prescription like this would give him a lot of inspiration, even if he couldn't use it himself!
Huaijun had kept the prescription on him the other day, and handed it to Xuemin after taking it out. Huaijun knew Lin Yi's personality- he'd tell him if it was something that needed to be kept secret, and if he didn't, then it meant that there was no need to keep it a secret. Still, he hadn't gotten Lin Yi's permission yet, so Huaijun told Xuemin to keep it a secret.
Xuemin took the prescription carefully and started looking at it … … It was fine at first, but the shock on his face grew deeper and deeper as he read out the names of the herbs … …
"This is a prescription?" Xuemin was a bit dumbfounded on the spot. The ingredients on the list couldn't be any more ordinary, and none of them were particularly expensive. A few of them, such as gastrodia elata, did have the effect of calming pain! He'd used these herbs on Huaijun before, but the effects weren't as obvious. Could it be that these herbs had a different effect when put together?
Xuemin was surprised, but he was a leading figure in the field of Eastern medicine. He knew that a single ingredient in a prescription could make a huge difference in the effects of the medicine … …
These herbs were mostly used for nerve and muscle pain, and there wasn't anything special about them. The only thing Xuemin was sure of was that these herbs weren't poisonous, and they didn't contain anything overbearing like poppy seeds … …
