Gu Shen saw it, and worry filled his eyes.
The old man shook his head at him, indicating that he should not tell Xia Anyan.
Xia Anyan already knew that this was the predetermined path, and if the old man wanted to escape, he could only think of other ways.
medicine!
Yes, she can take the medicine to the health center and have someone take a look.
She had collected many things in her space, including a lot of rare herbs and many prescriptions.
Although traditional Chinese medicine is being suppressed now, it doesn't mean that no one will do these things.
She made up her mind; she was going.
"Grandpa, are you really alright?" Xia Anyan still couldn't give up and wanted to ask.
The old man nodded, still remaining silent, only saying that it was for health.
It would be really strange if Xia Anyan could believe that.
Each of the three had their own thoughts on the meal.
As soon as she finished eating, Xia Anyan couldn't wait to go back to her room.
Gu Shen wanted to chase after her and ask, but seeing how anxious she was, he knew he wouldn't get any information out of her now, so he could only leave on his own.
As soon as Xia Anyan returned to her room, she closed the door and entered the space, where she found the box containing a book, and then the box containing herbs.
She had never organized these things after storing them in her space. Now, when she opened them, she was shocked to see many things that were almost impossible to find in later generations.
Seeing so many things inside, Xia Anyan felt a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to take out.
Just as she was feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do, someone knocked on her door, waking her up.
Xia Anyan paused for a moment, then came out of the space.
Upon opening the door, I was surprised to find Old Zhang standing there.
"Uncle Zhang, what brings you here? Is there something you need from me?"
Old Zhang was still somewhat hesitant. He looked around and, not seeing any outsiders, cautiously began, "Miss, I'd like to talk to you about the old man. Do you have time now?"
Without saying a word, Xia Anyan immediately called the person to her room.
Fearing that the old man would find out, Xia Anyan even looked over there, and only when she saw that no one came out did she feel relieved.
"Miss, don't worry, the old man won't know now."
After finishing his sentence, Old Zhang sighed, looking rather dejected.
Seeing this, Xia Anyan asked worriedly, "Uncle Zhang, what exactly happened? How could you..."
“Miss, the old man’s health is indeed problematic, and those medications will only make his condition worse.”
“I had advised the old man before to see a doctor at a big hospital, but he refused, because he was worried that you would find out.”
"The old man's health has actually been problematic for a long time. The medicine he is taking now can only temporarily relieve his symptoms, but the side effects after taking the medicine are very strong. He can only recover by resting."
"Actually, the old man wanted to bring you back and visit you, but his health wouldn't allow it. That's why he hasn't been able to stay there for so long."
So that's why?
She lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
When Old Zhang saw Xia Anyan's appearance, he became even more anxious: "Miss, I know you have suffered grievances over there, but the old man has always been concerned about you."
"No matter what, I hope you will not give up on the old man. When you have the chance, take him to a big hospital for a check-up."
Xia Anyan was amused.
She looked at Old Zhang with amusement: "Uncle Zhang, that's my grandfather, my last relative in this world. Of course I will do what you just said, and there's no need to doubt my feelings for my grandfather."
"There's one more thing you must tell me. Who gave Grandpa those medications? What are their ingredients? Do you have the prescription?"
The questions Xia Anyan asked were all extremely simple for Lao Zhang.
He nodded and took out a prescription from his pocket.
“There’s an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in our brigade. I heard that when he was young, he even treated patients. His master was also from the palace.”
“Over the years, whenever the old man had health problems, he would go to him, and he would also help the old man prepare medicine. The pills he is taking now were made by him personally.”
Old Zhang is truly open and honest, sharing everything he knows without reservation.
He told everyone he knew.
After hearing this, Xia Anyan simply nodded and did not say anything else.
"Uncle Zhang, please keep this prescription with me for now. Grandpa doesn't want to tell me about his illness, so we'll have to find another way to trick him into telling us."
The two planned for a while before Lao Zhang left.
As soon as the person left, Xia Anyan immediately went into her spatial dimension and found the medicinal herbs according to the prescription.
She had no prior medical training, so she wasn't very familiar with these things, but that didn't mean she couldn't use them to find similar prescriptions.
In the end, she still managed to find it.
Looking at what's recorded on this prescription and then at the prescription I got from Lao Zhang, there is indeed a difference.
To be precise, the prescription obtained from Lao Zhang was simplified, with many medicinal herbs removed.
According to the original prescriptions, the simplified prescriptions actually neutralized some of the drug components in the prescriptions.
In other words, neutralizing the effects of the two drugs will cause less harm to the body.
These prescriptions were developed by our predecessors after a long period of research. I wonder if the person who wrote the prescriptions for my grandfather knew this.
If he didn't know, one could say he was clever; but if he did know, then... it was intentional!
Xia Anyan felt she had to tell Gu Shen about this and ask him to investigate that person thoroughly.
If that person really has a problem, it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
After figuring this out, Xia Anyan began searching for medicinal herbs in her spatial storage, packing all the herbs she found aside.
She plans to go to the county town in the next couple of days and then take out the medicinal herbs.
As for the old man, we still need to take him to a large hospital for a check-up. The final result will depend on what other medicines he needs to prepare.
By the time we finished all that, several hours had passed.
She was so tired that she didn't want to move, so she just collapsed on the bed.
I had barely lain down when there was another knock on the door.
The person who came this time was Gu Shen.
“Yanyan, I just checked and found that Grandpa’s health has not been very good in recent years. He doesn’t go out often in the village and almost no one sees him.”
“People in the village said that if they hadn’t occasionally heard Grandpa talking to Uncle Zhang in the yard, they would have even suspected that something had happened to Grandpa.”
When Gu Shen said this, his brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that he also had some uneasy thoughts.
