After Tan Ron came back, she didn’t even bother to rest and immediately immersed herself in making medicine. As the herbs were precious, Tan Ron was very careful when she made the medicine. Fortunately, the proportion of the last medicinal ingredient was relatively small. Three small medicinal ingredients could be made into many small pills.
Three days later, Tan Rou came out of her lab. There were small black pills on the table. Although the medicine had been made, she had not tested it yet. She did not know if it would really work.
She came to the hospital with the pills and the Tao family.
“I don’t know if this medicine will work.” Tan Rou said worriedly, “Acupuncture is definitely useful. However, acupuncture can only open up Grandfather’s meridians. It can’t help his failing organs recover. If you want your organs to recover, you need this medicine.”
No one else dared to make a sound. Only Grandma Tao spoke up. “Go on, Rourou. Your grandfather doesn’t have long to live.”
With Grandma Tao’s words, the others also encouraged Tan Rou. “Rourou, go and try it. You’ve put in a lot of effort for this medicine. No matter what the result is, we won’t blame you.”
Tan Rou gripped the medicine bottle tightly and mustered up her courage to walk into the intensive care unit.
Zhuang Liu came over as well because Tan Rou would be doing the acupuncture today. He and Tan Rou cooperated very well. In the past, Zhuang Liu would wipe her sweat when she performed acupuncture.
This time, Zhuang did the same. He prepared the towel and then moved the stool for Tan Rou.
Grandpa Tao woke up slowly. He wanted to smile, but he was too tired to do so.
“Xiao Rou, you’re here…” Grandpa Tao said with difficulty.
Tan Rou took out the silver needles and put the pill into the water, waiting for it to dissolve. Pills had a longer shelf life than potions, so she made them into pills. If Grandpa Tao’s health recovered, he could continue to take them.
Zhuang Liu was ready. “Can we start now?”
Tan Rou relaxed her body and mind. “Yes.”
The two of them immediately began their mission of the day. One of them applied acupuncture while the other wiped his sweat. They cooperated very well.
Ever since Zhuang Yan had been cured, Tan Rou rarely performed acupuncture on others. Firstly, acupuncture was time-consuming, and Tan Rou did not have that much time to do those things. Secondly, the people around her basically did not require them. If they had some small problems, they only needed to take some medicine. There was no need for acupuncture at all.
Half an hour later, Tan Rou finally used up all the needles. However, she did not have time to rest because it was time to pull out the first one. This was a long process. Although Tan Rou was very tired, she did not dare to relax at all. It was as if her grandfather would be hopeless if she relaxed.
An hour later, all the needles were removed. Tan Rou immediately fed Grandpa Tao the medicine. No one knew when the medicine would take effect, so the Tao family could only wait. No one asked Tan Rou if the medicine would work because they didn’t want her to be nervous.
After a day and a night, Grandpa Tao woke up. His face was much better than before, and his complexion looked better.
Grandma Tao was very excited. “Rourou’s medicine is really working!”
The other members of the Tao family were also very excited. They immediately passed the news to Tan Rou, who had gone back to rest. Tan Rou had not slept for a long time. After feeding her grandfather the medicine, Zhuang Liu brought her back to rest.
Zhuang Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the message. However, he did not wake Tan Rou up because she was too tired. Waking her up now would only affect her rest.
Tan Rou slept for a day and a night. The first thing she did after waking up was not to eat but to ask about her grandfather.
Zhuang Liu smiled. “Grandpa is feeling much better. We’ll go see him after dinner.”
Tan Rou nodded and suddenly thought of Zhuang Liu’s grandfather. “If I had found this method earlier, would your grandfather have lived a few more years?”
“My grandfather’s condition is different. He’s older than your grandfather, and he fell sick because of Third Uncle; even if we use that medicine, it might not be able to save him.” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou was happy for a moment, but she was also a little sad. “The medicine only allowed Grandfather to live longer. It couldn’t prevent his death at all.”
“We’ve tried our best,” Zhuang Liu said.
