Jiujiu glanced at the old man out of curiosity. Then, she saw the layer of gray mist that shrouded the old man's face. It didn't look like he was sick, but more like he was poisoned.
If it was in ancient times, being poisoned was a common occurrence. However, in a society ruled by law, it was rather strange for someone to suddenly be poisoned. Moreover, it was a rather insidious slow-acting poison.
Out of curiosity, Jiujiu looked at the old man with an inquisitive gaze.
Jiujiu was too focused on the old man, so much so that she didn't notice the man looking at her several times.
It wasn't until the master who filled the prescription for Jiujiu had divided the medicine that Jiujiu asked if she wanted to help decoct the medicine that Jiujiu finally snapped back to her senses.
After declining the master's kindness, Jiujiu took the medicine that she had prepared and prepared to leave.
However, before she could walk out of the room, she was suddenly stopped by someone. Jiujiu raised her head and saw the man who was supporting the old man blocking her way.
As the distance between them shortened, the man's appearance appeared clearly in front of Jiujiu. The man's face was like jade. Although his lips were thin, because of the curve, he didn't give off a cold feeling. Instead, he gave off a good impression.
Most importantly, the man looked at Jiujiu with an exceptionally calm gaze. Not only did he not have the slightest bit of disdain, his voice was low and filled with warmth: "Young Miss, may I have a word with you?"
Although the man was extremely handsome, Jiujiu wasn't someone who judged people by their appearance. Moreover, she had seen many good-looking people. How could she be charmed by a man's good looks? Therefore, after being invited by the man, not only did she not follow him as he expected, she instead took a step back and said with vigilance: "No, if you have something to say, just say it."
Even though the man was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but smile when Jiujiu stared at him like he was a wolf.
The man tilted his head and looked at the old man who was sitting on the sofa and gasping for breath. He said in a low voice, "I heard from the master that you're quite knowledgeable in pharmacology. Can you take a look at my grandfather?"
The man also knew that his action of stopping Jiujiu was somewhat of a desperate attempt to find a doctor. However, his grandfather had been ill for too long, and his body was deteriorating day by day. Even with the best doctor in the country watching over him, he was still deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was brought up by his grandfather, so naturally, he couldn't watch his grandfather decline like this. Although looking for a little girl like Jiujiu to treat his illness was a little desperate, he didn't know why. The moment he saw Jiujiu, he inexplicably felt that Jiujiu might have a way.
Jiujiu raised her head and looked at the man.
The man had a pleading look on his face, and his eyes were even misty because of his anxiety. Jiujiu pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
When the man saw that Jiujiu had agreed, he hurriedly took the things in Jiujiu's hand and watched as Jiujiu walked to the old man's side to take his pulse.
Just now, Jiujiu saw that the old man's face was ashen from afar. Now that she was closer, the old man's face became uglier and uglier. Moreover, the old man's body was very thin. Jiujiu felt that her arms were twice as thick as his thighs.
After feeling unhappy about her fat body again, Jiujiu held the old man's wrist and took his pulse.
Just like what Jiujiu saw earlier, the old man was poisoned. Moreover, because modern people didn't have a deep understanding of poisons, they only treated the symptoms after being poisoned. As a result, the old man's body was getting worse and worse, and even looked like a lamp that had run out of oil.
If he hadn't met her today, he probably wouldn't have been able to live for more than ten days.
Jiujiu looked at the old man with pity. He was already so old, yet he was still being tortured by such a sinister poison. It was really pitiful. She did not know what he had done to deserve such treatment from the other party.
Jiujiu let go of the old man's hand that was taking his pulse and carefully looked at the old man's face. She raised her hand and casually calculated. After calculating that the old man hadn't done anything bad, she asked the man to get a pen and paper and prepare to prescribe medicine for the old man.
When the man saw that Jiujiu had asked him to take the pen and paper, his face, which had been filled with sorrow, instantly lit up. He handed the pen and paper to Jiujiu and asked anxiously, "Is my grandfather okay?"
Jiujiu quickly wrote down the prescription and answered casually, "He's just poisoned. Other than that, he's fine. I'll prescribe you a medicine first. After taking it for a week, it'll be seventy to eighty percent better."
Hearing that Jiujiu played it down, the man's face became more and more happy. However, when he heard that Jiujiu said that seventy to eighty percent better, a trace of worry appeared on his face, "What about the remaining two percent?"
Jiujiu glanced at the man and curled her lips, "I haven't finished yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The man was suddenly choked by Jiujiu and said with a red face, "Please say."
"Go and find someone to prepare a set of silver needles for me. After a week, I'll help your grandfather with acupuncture to remove the poison." After writing down the last stroke of the prescription, Jiujiu looked at the man and said, "By the way, thousand-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old ganoderma, those things …"
"Prepare them for my grandfather?"
"No, I mean if you think your grandfather has lived too long, you can give him more of those things." Jiujiu looked at the old man whose complexion improved because she said that she could cure him. She said with a smile, "Your grandfather's body is too weak. Those things are too nourishing. They can't be nourished and can easily stimulate the poison in his body. If he eats too much, it can easily stimulate the poison in his body."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, the old man and the man's face showed sadness. It could be seen that they usually eat those things.
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she went to find the medicine master and got a few herbs for her. She asked him to mix them with water and knead them into pills for the old man to take.
With a bewildered expression, the old man swallowed the pill that Jiujiu handed to him. Not long after he swallowed it, he felt his stomach churn. Then, he quickly ran to the toilet. After staying in the toilet for more than ten minutes, he came out again. His originally ashen complexion had already become somewhat rosy.
When the man saw that his grandfather's complexion improved after taking Jiujiu's pills, his eyes lit up.
When Jiujiu was about to leave, the man not only introduced himself as Wan Run, but also exchanged numbers with Jiujiu. He even took the initiative to hand a card to Jiujiu.
The old man, Old Master Wan, looked at Jiujiu with eyes full of gratitude.
After Jiujiu accepted Old Master Wan and Wan Run's gratitude, she took the card and the medicine and prepared to go back.
However, after Jiujiu took two steps, a car stopped beside her. After the car window slowly rolled down, Jiujiu saw the faces of Wan Run and Old Master Wan.
Old Master Wan, who had been silent all this time, took the initiative to invite Jiujiu to take Jiujiu's car home.
Jiujiu looked at the sun that was already up. Then, she thought about how she almost stopped breathing after walking all the way. After thinking about it, she got into Old Master Wan's car.
