Chapter 139 of "New Urban Farmers": Alchemy in the Mining Area (First Update - Please Subscribe)
Dean Huang Qiping's warm reception of a guest drew attention from many doctors. Normally, even when bureau chiefs came, Dean Huang would act aloof; had the sun risen in the west today?
"Dean Huang, how is my daughter's condition?" Lin Hui asked anxiously as soon as she entered the dean's office, without bothering with pleasantries.
This morning, Ya Ya suddenly fainted, her face turned pale and her mouth closed. Lin Hui and Li Daolin immediately took their daughter to the People's Hospital of Chuandu City. After some emergency treatment, she is now out of danger and has been admitted to a special care ward with dedicated nurses watching over her 24 hours a day.
Upon hearing the news, Dean Huang immediately ordered a team of over a dozen experts, including specialists in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and neurology, to conduct a joint consultation for Ya Ya.
This is quite a commotion!
Seeing that his daughter was temporarily out of danger, Li Daolin went to work at the municipal government. As the executive vice mayor, he was very busy. Especially since he was new to the position, there were many things he needed to get started with.
Lin Hui was left at the hospital to take care of her daughter.
"Director Lin, the deputy director of the Municipal Education Bureau, is a sinecure at the division level. Your daughter's illness has been basically confirmed by the follow-up examination as leukemia, which is the same as the result on the medical record. The experts' comprehensive analysis is that this leukemia is about to worsen, which is why the time interval between the illnesses is getting shorter and shorter," Dean Huang said with a very serious expression.
He smiled bitterly to himself. He had originally hoped to get to know the new executive vice mayor, but he hadn't expected Ya Ya's illness to be so troublesome. Leukemia—there's still no cure for it; the only option is continuous antibody injections and blood transfusions to strengthen the immune system. Otherwise, the ability of healthy blood-forming cells is simply no match for the phagocytosis of white blood cells.
As a senior doctor who had been the hospital director for many years, Director Huang naturally knew that this disease was extremely difficult to treat.
The cure rate is very low, and most cases are cured by adjunctive therapy and the patient's own resistance.
Upon hearing this result, Lin Hui's anxious face turned pale instantly.
Dean Huang immediately became anxious and said, "Director Lin, don't worry. There are people who can be cured of leukemia. And with your daughter's age, the chances of her being cured if she receives treatment early are much greater."
The body's blood-forming function and recovery ability are strongest during childhood and adolescence.
Dean Huang offered this consolation out of necessity.
"Is it true? What should we do?" Lin Hui asked hurriedly.
Dean Huang nodded solemnly and said, "It's true. The hospital has records of having cured leukemia patients before. So Director Lin, you should have confidence. The experts' advice is to treat your daughter conservatively, regulate her body to strengthen her immune system, and then combine it with a small amount of chemotherapy."
Lin Hui naturally knew that many cancer patients use chemotherapy, also known as radiotherapy, but this treatment is also very harmful to the body. Many healthy cells may also be killed.
She was very clever.
But Dean Huang reassured her, "A small amount of chemotherapy will help with recovery, there won't be any problems!" Lin Hui couldn't make up her mind on her own, she had to discuss this with Li Daolin.
"Director Lin, please make yourself at home!"
A short while later, Lin Hui went to the dean's office again and said to Dean Huang, "Her father and I agree with the hospital's treatment plan. Please do your best, Dean Huang!"
Lin Hui's words put pressure on Dean Huang.
However, Dean Huang, being a person with administrative rank, was very used to such words and immediately assured, "Please rest assured, Mayor Li and Director Lin, we will assign two experts to follow up on the treatment and provide the best treatment plan." Even so, Lin Hui was still troubled.
After leaving the director's office and returning to the intensive care unit, Lin Hui tried to force a smile. But as soon as she opened the door, she found another person in the room, and her daughter, Ya Ya, was giggling and playing around with the newcomer, shaking and laughing incessantly on the bed.
Lin Hui was taken aback. She immediately asked, "Who are you?"
Zhang Guodong stopped playing around with Ya Ya and turned around.
"It was Sister Lin, Ya Ya, who called me to say she was in the hospital, so I rushed over!" Zhang Guodong said.
Upon seeing Zhang Guodong, Lin Hui gave a bitter smile and then composed herself, realizing she had been somewhat distracted.
"It's Guodong. This little girl often bothers you," Lin Hui said, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her daughter with gentle eyes. Ya Ya was wearing a small hospital gown. At this moment, she was very well-behaved, only occasionally blushing and covering her mouth with her hand while laughing.
Zhang Guodong arrived shortly and brought her apples, which were a great help. Apples are very beneficial to a patient's health, and he didn't dare buy anything else indiscriminately.
"No trouble at all, Ya Ya is so cute! Sister Lin. What's wrong with Ya Ya?" Zhang Guodong asked after smiling.
The little girl was too young to know what was wrong, so she blurted out, "This morning I was getting ready for school when I felt dizzy and woke up to go to the hospital."
Her little face looked a bit droopy, as if she missed the children in kindergarten? She's only been here for a little over half a month, but she's already adapted to the little kids here.
Zhang Guodong looked at Lin Hui with some concern in his eyes.
Fainting isn't scary, but it's when an illness flares up that's truly frightening. Judging from Lin Hui's worried expression, the illness must be quite serious.
Lin Hui opened her mouth but didn't say anything; she simply handed a portion of the medical records to Zhang Guodong.
leukemia?
Upon closer inspection, my worries were indeed realized; it turned out to be such a troublesome disease.
“Ya Ya was born with a congenital deficiency and developed a blood disorder when she was two years old,” Lin Hui said, forcing back her grief.
Zhang Guodong felt the environment wasn't suitable for discussing the illness, so he said:
"What do you mean by 'what effective treatment methods'? The hospital is a provincial-level hospital, so its strength should be very strong, Sister Lin. Don't worry," Lin Hui said. "The hospital director said that the experts' suggestion is to carry out conservative treatment and chemotherapy at the same time, mainly to enhance the body's own immunity. This will be very helpful for the treatment of Ya Ya's condition!"
"Mommy and my older brother said they'd bring me a little bunny next time they come, hehe!" Ya Ya said, blinking her big eyes, and then laughed.
Indeed, it's an innocent and carefree age!
Lin Hui smiled and affectionately stroked her head. She said, "Okay, as long as Ya Ya gets better, your big brother will bring you a little rabbit!"
"Guodong, aren't you busy?"
Lin Hui turned around and asked Zhang Guodong.
She was naturally pleased that Zhang Guodong could come. The young man she met along the way got along very well with her daughter, and she naturally accepted Zhang Guodong's presence.
Unlike some people who have ulterior motives, Zhang Guodong's gaze was very calm and natural.
Meanwhile, those who were obsessed with cultivating relationships sent a huge pile of flowers and fruit to the hospital room, probably weighing over a hundred pounds, and these were all relatively expensive fruits.
Zhang Guodong smiled slightly and said, "I was just busy doing business with a partner. There were people watching over things, so there wasn't much to do." As they chatted, Ya Ya quickly got excited but tired. After taking some medicine, she fell asleep. Seeing that Lin Hui looked tired, Zhang Guodong knew she must have been worried a lot. So he took the opportunity to say goodbye.
This is a special care ward with a bed for a caregiver and dedicated staff to take care of you 24 hours a day. You don't need any help from them.
Then Zhang Guodong smiled wryly, noting that Lin Hui had brought him a full twenty pounds of fruit. He had only bought a small amount of peaches, which Ya Ya liked, when he came, but he had brought out even more this time.
Take it if you want!
After leaving the hospital, Zhang Guodong went straight to a branch of "Urban" Darentang.
He needed to buy some medicinal herbs, such as "donkey-hide gelatin," which cannot be cultivated, as the main ingredient, along with angelica root, red dates, and 116 other medicinal herbs. These were the ingredients required for one of the thirteen prescriptions given to him by Master Yi, the "Blood-Nourishing Pill."
It enhances the vitality of hematopoietic cells and strengthens hematopoietic function. It is generally used to replenish blood after excessive blood loss or to treat conditions like leukemia. Enhancing the hematopoietic function of hematopoietic cells is a fundamental treatment.
Zhang Guodong originally only intended to refine the medicinal materials for the "Body Strengthening Pill" and the "Longevity Pill," and he could find them in Peach Blossom Spring, and they all met the requirements for alchemy.
Zhang Guodong still needs to collect more medicinal materials for the remaining prescriptions.
For example, in this "Blood-Nourishing Pill," the concubine's medicine "donkey-hide gelatin" is unavailable and can only be purchased from a pharmacy. Furthermore, there are other medicinal herbs that are temporarily lacking and must also be purchased from a pharmacy.
However, this further reduces the chances of successfully forming the elixir. The difficulty in meeting the quality standards of these medicinal materials indirectly lowers the likelihood of success.
However, Zhang Guodong wanted to give it a try.
With his parents' hair turning gray and their health deteriorating, and seeing Ya Ya suffering from illness, Zhang Guodong felt he should do something.
So he bought twenty portions of "donkey-hide gelatin" and twenty portions of "blood-nourishing pills" to make up for the more than ten kinds of missing medicinal materials.
Then I went to a gas stove store and bought a gas stove and a gas cylinder before heading home.
Everyone was surprised to see them back at Red Beach so early. Red Beach is in the wild. Even with bamboo huts, it probably wouldn't be that comfortable, right? Did the owner only spend half a day there before coming back?
Upon his return, Zhang Guodong announced that he would "go into seclusion."
"I need to rest, and no one is allowed to disturb me!"
Liu Neng's man, Leopard, was watching over things outside. He didn't need to worry about it.
Once the bamboo house was closed and the pillow was stuffed into the quilt on the bamboo bed, Zhang Guodong immediately entered a paradise.
"I hope you can successfully make the pill using the Hundred Herbs Cauldron!" Zhang Guodong muttered as he found the Hundred Herbs Cauldron and then went directly to the medicinal herb garden to find the necessary herbs according to the pill formula.
Some need branches, some need leaves, some need flowers, and some need roots. Unfortunately, some of the ones that need roots have to regrow after being dug up.
Each of the three types of elixirs requires twenty portions of the medicinal herbs. Fortunately, the medicinal herbs in Peach Blossom Spring reproduce very quickly. Their growth rate is astonishing; otherwise, if Zhang Guodong continued like this, they would have been wiped out.
That's about it!
Zhang Zaidong moved all these medicinal herbs to the Shanhefeng Baibei District.
The area with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Peach Blossom Spring can increase the chances of successfully forming a pill.
When it came time to refine the elixir, Zhang Guodong's spirits soared, and he meticulously divided all the medicinal herbs into portions according to the formula, ensuring there was no room for error.
The Blood-Nourishing Pill uses donkey-hide gelatin as the main ingredient, supplemented by 115 kinds of common medicinal herbs.
"Health-Building Pill" uses ginseng as the main ingredient and 132 kinds of common medicinal herbs as auxiliary ingredients! Twenty servings!
The Longevity Elixir uses a century-old black bird, or one that reaches the quality of a century-old bird found elsewhere, as its main ingredient. It is supplemented with 107 precious medicinal herbs! Twenty portions! Although this elixir uses fewer ingredients, most of them are very rare, making it far more valuable than the previous two.
After sorting the medicinal herbs, Zhang Guodong concentrated and carefully placed the Hundred Herbs Cauldron on the gas stove. He had no choice but to use it as a substitute for a fire source. He was preparing for his second alchemy session—his first completely independent alchemy session! However, Zhang Guodong was so excited that he seemed to have forgotten something?
"Refining the blood-replenishing pills first can be a good practice. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter!"
