Lai Jiaxing had already gone into their room and brought over the two quilts that Lai Xiang had brought to cover the two elderly people. Tang Yue reached out and touched Old Ke's wrist. In the firelight, Tang Yue felt that Old Ke's face seemed familiar, but she frowned and just couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Grandpa, your leg is broken, and there is blood stasis blocking your blood vessels."
Just as Old Master Ke felt he was on his deathbed, for some reason, the moment the little girl touched his wrist, he felt a cool sensation enter his body, and he immediately felt much lighter and his mind clearer.
"Hmm, little girl, you also know medicine?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Yes, I've learned a little, but only the basics."
Old Master Ke showed no disappointment; he had already accepted life and death. "Hmm, you're so young yet you could accurately diagnose my illness. You're a promising talent, destined for greatness. It's China..."
Old Ke couldn't continue. These days, being a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner wasn't an easy job. "Little girl, why don't you learn how to give injections and IV drips first? As for pulse diagnosis, wait a bit."
Tang Yue felt a warmth in her heart. The old man before her was already preoccupied with his own survival, yet he still remembered to instruct her, a complete stranger she had only met once, on how to avoid those risks. How could such a person be defined as a bad person?
"Grandpa, it's alright. I don't usually treat patients. I can cure your leg, so you should live a long and healthy life."
Old Ke forced a smile after hearing Tang Yue's words. "What's the point of living?"
Old Xu gently patted Old Ke's shoulder, "Old Ke, be strong, we're still waiting to see what happens to those..." It should be the fate of those guys, to see the future of China, to see the magnificent rivers and mountains of China after its rise.
However, at this moment, in this cowshed, there were many things they couldn't say.
Old Ke seemed to have a sudden thought, a flicker of fighting spirit igniting in his eyes, but it was fleeting. He had no choice. His leg was broken, and at this time, with no medicine, no food, and in this freezing cold cowshed, how could he possibly survive?
Tang Jianye quickly set up the oilcloth in the room. With the blessing of the warming talisman, the temperature in their room rose sharply. Old Xu felt that the temperature in the room was really good. He felt that he had never felt so warm before.
"Grandpa, China will get better and better, and the darkness will surely pass. You must hold on and wait to see that day come." As he spoke, spiritual energy had already circulated twice within Grandpa Ke's body, and Grandpa Ke felt as if he had truly come back to life.
Tang Yue took out a black pill. "This is medicine made by my master. It can clear blockages in the body and also help heal bones. If you trust me, take it."
Lai Xiang had just gone out and collected a lot of snow using the earthenware pot she had found, and boiled it to make hot water. She brought a bowl over to Old Ke. Old Ke took the meatballs without hesitation and ate them, then took the water from Lai Xiang and drank it down.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of hot water, Old Ke felt his body warming up from the inside out. Tang Yue picked up a few smooth pieces of firewood from the pile in the room and used them to fix Old Ke's legs in the right position.
"Grandpa, don't move this leg for now. It will get better in a while."
Old Ke's face regained some color.
Tang Yue took Xu's pulse again. "Grandpa, you have suffered from lumbar muscle strain for many years. In addition, you have been subjected to heavy force, and now you can't straighten your back."
Old Xu nodded repeatedly, surprised that this young girl was actually quite capable. Tang Yue then took out another black dumpling and handed it to Old Xu, who ate it as well.
Tang Yue made these pills using herbs from her spatial storage whenever she had free time. Their effects were quite varied, but they were definitely effective. Tang Yue then channeled her spiritual energy into both elders.
Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, it would be a pipe dream for their bodies to recover under the current conditions.
The two elderly people gradually recovered and had the energy to speak to the group. "Young man, is that your daughter?"
Lai Jiaxing replied to Old Xu, "Yes, my youngest daughter took it upon herself to come here to work as an educated youth in the countryside. I wonder if she can endure it."
Both Mr. Ke and Mr. Xu looked at him with admiration. Mr. Ke nodded, "He's a good kid."
Lai Xiang squatted down and tended the fire. "Grandpas, my dad cooked some porridge, but it probably isn't enough. Could I cook some more in this earthenware pot?"
Old Xu nodded, "Girl, you can use it." He then turned around and took out a cloth bag from the corner of the bedside. There should still be about half a pound of rice inside. He was about to hand it to Lai Xiang, but Lai Xiang quickly shook her head.
"No need, Grandpa. I brought food with me."
Old Xu disagreed, "Take it quickly, how can you use your own grain? You're just a little girl, it's hard to say whether you have enough to eat, take it quickly."
Tang Yue took the cloth bag and handed it to Lai Xiang. Under Lai Xiang's puzzled look, she gave her a wink. Lai Xiang took the bag, but she didn't use the rice inside.
As the room warmed up, the two elderly people visibly felt much better. They were both very grateful to Tang Yue and also felt a strong connection with this young girl.
Old Ke looked at the little girl in front of him with increasing fondness. "She came to see her parents. What are you here for?"
There was a hint of amusement in their voices. They themselves found it strange; how long had it been since they had sensed any human presence?
Tang Yue gestured towards Lai Xiang with her chin, "Lai Xiang and I are good friends. I just happened to be here, so I came to visit."
Lai Xiang retorted, "Grandpa Ke, that's not true. Xiao Yueyue came here specifically to see me. They brought me so many things today. And that's not all, today Xiao Yueyue used 100 jin of flour to get the strong laborers in the village to build three houses for me in one day, and also built a big yard."
