"This must be the Dr. Ruan you mentioned on the phone."
"Dr. Ruan, thank you for coming to see my husband. You've worked hard."
The man looked at Ruan Qiushui with no hint of disdain in his eyes and politely welcomed the two inside.
Ruan Qiushui changed some things as the housekeeper suggested and then went upstairs.
"Please come in, my husband is inside."
The butler knocked on the door, and upon hearing a response from inside, opened the door to let Ruan Qiushui and the other person in.
Let's go.
He Xianwei nodded to Ruan Qiushui and went into the room.
"Cough, cough."
A man in his fifties lay on the hospital bed, holding a white handkerchief to his mouth, coughing incessantly.
"Brother He, you've arrived."
"Is this young lady Dr. Ruan Qiushui, whom you have mentioned and praised so highly?"
The man slowly sat up straight, put down the handkerchief in his hand, and invited the two to sit down.
"I have specially invited my friend Ruan to examine you today."
"Mr. Li, your health seems to be getting weaker and weaker."
He Xianwei placed a pillow behind the man's back to make him more comfortable.
"At this age, it's normal to have some ailments."
Mr. Li waved his hand, showing a detached attitude towards birth, aging, illness, and death.
"Young friend Ruan, thank you for your trouble."
Mr. Li extended his right hand and politely nodded to Ruan Qiushui.
Ruan Qiushui stepped forward, opened her medical kit, and took out her medical bag to examine the patient's pulse and ask questions.
After taking the pulse, Ruan Qiushui examined the man's tongue and then asked him some questions.
"Sir, this is due to overwork and excessive worry."
What Ruan Qiushui didn't say was that this gentleman's health was deteriorating to the point of near collapse, and if he didn't receive treatment soon, I fear...
"Little Ruan, is there any way?"
He Xianwei knew that Mr. Li's condition was nearing the point where medicine was ineffective, and now he could only place his hopes on Ruan Qiushui.
"Young friend Ruan, there's no need for you to feel burdened. This old man has lived for half a year, and that's enough."
Mr. Li smiled at Ruan Qiushui, afraid that she might feel guilty.
He was already deeply honored to have dedicated the first half of his life to his country, and he dared not ask for more.
However, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he could, he could have continued to dedicate himself to his country and give his all.
"Sir, although my medical skills are not good, I can still extend your life by ten years."
Ruan Qiushui packed her medical kit and said this very calmly.
Without space, Ruan Qiushui would never have been able to say such a certain thing.
However, with the help of medicinal herbs within the space, increasing one's lifespan by ten years is a piece of cake.
If the old man cooperates, it's not impossible for him to live another five years.
"real?"
He Xianwei was overjoyed.
He had previously diagnosed that, without a miracle, I probably wouldn't live more than a year.
It's practically a miracle that Ruan Qiushui can extend Mr. Li's life by ten years.
"Young friend Ruan, are you serious?"
Mr. Li almost lost control of his emotions.
Can someone sentenced to death like him ask God for another ten years?
Did he mishear?
"really."
Ruan Qiushui nodded affirmatively.
"However, all of this will require your cooperation."
She was responsible for seeing patients and prescribing medicine, so Mr. Li had to take his medicine and receive treatment on time.
If she takes a passive approach, taking her medication sporadically and disregarding the doctor's orders, then she cannot guarantee anything.
After all, she wasn't a sorcerer, and couldn't guarantee that her words would come true.
"Don't worry, young friend Ruan. If you can really let me live for another ten years, I will definitely listen to you and not disobey a single word."
Ten years is enough time for him to do a lot.
Those plans that haven't been started yet, and those ambitions that haven't been implemented, will all have time to be completed one by one.
He wants to see his motherland prosper and become the strongest nation, surpassing M, E, and R.
"Alright then."
With the patient willing to cooperate, Ruan Qiushui had no more concerns.
Seeing paper and pen on the table, Ruan Qiushui wrote down a prescription.
"Excellent, excellent, this prescription is truly wonderful."
He Xianwei took the prescription and was truly impressed.
Ruan Yatou's medical skills are indeed superior to his. Even if he had another twenty years of experience, he probably wouldn't be able to prescribe such a medicine.
"Ruan girl, are there any requirements regarding the age of the ginseng and lingzhi in this prescription?"
With Mr. Li's status, finding ginseng and lingzhi should not be a problem.
However, if the year is too high, it might be difficult to find one.
"Over a hundred years old, the older the better."
The longer the aging period, the better the medicinal effect.
"Since Ruan was able to prescribe this medicine, she must have ginseng and lingzhi on hand."
Old man He Xianwei is shrewd; he could tell from Ruan Qiushui's words that she had something in her possession.
I just don't know if they're willing to share it, or if it would be unreasonable to force them.
"Mr. He, to be honest, I do have some Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng that are over a hundred years old."
Ruan Qiushui never intended to hide it.
Anyway, Mr. He will find out about the auction a week from now.
It would be better to just say it directly; at least that way, you could do Mr. He and Mr. Li a favor.
"Would you be willing to part with it, young friend?"
Mr. Li is willing to pay for it.
"willing."
Since we're selling anyway, it doesn't matter who we sell to.
"Alright then."
Mr. Li was overjoyed and summoned his housekeeper and Ruan Qiushui to discuss the matter.
"Then we'll head out first."
Ruan Qiushui told the housekeeper a price and asked him to go to the Ruan family to get the medicine. Then she went back with He Xianwei.
"Girl, thank you so much for today."
Mr. Li had been kind to me, and today Ruan Qiushui was able to help Mr. Li prolong his life, which was an incredible stroke of luck.
"Mr. He, saving lives and treating illnesses is simply my duty, there's no need for thanks."
She also had to thank Mr. He for finding her a long-term customer who buys ginseng and lingzhi.
However, Ruan Qiushui did not deliberately write Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng on the prescription today; she still had medical ethics.
These two herbs are the main ingredients in the prescription and cannot be substituted.
Ruan Qiushui had just returned home when Mr. Li's butler arrived at the door, which showed that he was in a great hurry.
"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go get the medicine right away."
Ruan Qiushui asked the housekeeper to wait in the living room, poured herself a cup of Longjing tea, and hurried back to her bedroom.
In addition to the promised ginseng and lingzhi, Ruan Qiushui also wrote a long medical prescription.
For example, go to bed before nine o'clock, take a two-hour nap every day, avoid spicy food and think less, and practice Baduanjin or Tai Chi when you have time.
"Everything is inside. I've also written a doctor's order, and I hope you will try your best to follow it."
Ruan Qiushui handed the bag to the housekeeper.
"this."
The steward looked at the small cloth bag in front of him. Was this ginseng and lingzhi just casually packed like that?
"hehe."
Ruan Qiushui smiled awkwardly.
There's no need to give gifts on a regular basis, so I didn't prepare this gift box.
I reckon the housekeeper will be coming to her for medicine quite often in the future, so I should call Zhou Yi later and ask him to send over more gift boxes.
"Dr. Ruan, this is the consultation fee and thank-you gift that the master instructed. Please accept it."
The butler placed the brown paper bag and the small wooden box on the table.
