Grabbing Gu Sinian's hand anxiously, she asked, "What have you been eating these past seven days?"
"I didn't eat much; everything was food you sent over."
Dong Heng shook his head; he didn't believe it was true.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this be? Seven days ago, you were in very poor health, looking like an old man, kicking every step you took... Now you are in excellent spirits."
"You must have been through something these past seven days."
Gu Sinian was taken aback. Just as his wife had said, his health had improved. He needed to explain the origin of the medicine, otherwise it would be too strange.
Dong E was in a difficult position to explain himself. "Well, my wife gave me some pills that her grandmother left behind. It's probably just that one pill that worked."
The man's eyes lit up. He said, "How could there be nothing else? Otherwise, how could my body have recovered so quickly?"
"What kind of pill? Can I take a look?"
"That's probably impossible."
Why?
“Because there was only one pill, I had a drug addiction on the day I arrived here. My wife couldn’t bear to see me suffer, so she put the pill that her grandmother had left behind directly into her mouth.”
"It's really strange, but as soon as I swallowed the pill, my body immediately felt better and I felt very comfortable."
"Over the past few days, I haven't felt the discomfort of being bitten by ants, and it seems like the flare-up hasn't recurred."
Dong Heng was stunned. He couldn't believe such a powerful pill existed in the world. Before he could even study it, it had been swallowed and digested...
Seven days have passed, and the pills that were ingested have long since turned into feces.
His heart ached with each passing moment. "What a waste! Couldn't you have left me some scraps when you ate them?"
Gu Sinian retorted to Dong E with a single sentence, "How would I know that pill would help my condition? If it were helpful, I would have already left you a tiny residue for your research and to contribute to the country."
"You knew that, yet you still ate it all and left nothing behind."
Su Ying stood aside, trying not to laugh, but seeing Dong E's uncomfortable expression, she decided not to tease him any further.
"That's right. This isn't Gu Sinian's fault. I gave him the pill. After you went back that day, he seemed to be in a lot of pain, and he was on the verge of a breakdown. So I put the life-saving pill that my grandmother left me into his mouth."
"But strangely enough, as soon as it was inserted, his condition immediately improved, and he was able to sleep soundly."
Speaking of this, Dong E's heart aches terribly. Such a good thing, yet not a single hair was left behind. Quite a few anti-drug police officers in his area were injected with that stuff.
Although they weren't as formidable as Gu Sinian, it wasn't easy for them to get through it either. Some people suffered emotional breakdowns and ended their lives by suicide.
If the stuff Gu Sinian ate could be made more widely available, how many lives could be saved?
What a pity, what a pity.
My heart aches so much.
Su Ying also wanted to help those innocent people. If it weren't for the anti-drug police protecting them, how could they possibly live in a drug-free world?
"What a pity, we ate it all, not even a crumb was left."
"I can't say that nothing was left behind, but I have a prescription left by my grandmother. Although it's not the deluxe version that Gu Sinian took, it's still useful for the condition. However, it takes effect slowly and has an auxiliary effect. Would you like to take a look at it?"
"really?"
"I have no reason to lie to you."
He took out the prescription he had been carrying and gave it to Dong E, saying, "These prescriptions have a relieving effect. Using them can alleviate the patient's condition and make them feel much more comfortable."
"We have the energy to continue fighting the virus."
Dong accepted it like a precious treasure.
I thanked them several times.
Now that he's got his hands on this great thing, he needs to go back and test it out as soon as possible. Anyway, Gu Sinian's health is improving, and with his wife taking care of him, there shouldn't be any problems.
After seeing such a large group of people arrive in such a hurry, they left again in less than half an hour.
"Isn't this going too far? I should at least treat you to a meal."
"No need. There are four of them coming. They'll consume a lot of food. They know better than to eat our meager reserves."
"But...we have supplies in our space."
"Others don't know, even if you invite them, they won't stay."
Why?
"Because I mentioned that my appetite has improved recently, and the supplies delivered this time are a bit meager and not enough to eat, do you think they will still stay for a meal?"
"Definitely not. Now that everything's been taken care of, we should go back into the space and continue our bath."
For the past seven days, Gu Sinian has done nothing but take baths, until he's become numb to it all.
"Can I take a day off? I'm so tired of soaking my skin."
"No. Not even for a day. If you stop now, all our previous efforts will be wasted. This bathing method requires persistence to be effective, and the medicinal herbs in the bath tub are very expensive. If we waste them, we will never be able to find them again."
"Okay. I'll do whatever you say. If I follow your method, roughly when will I be able to kick the drug habit?"
"If you follow my method, it should take about fifteen more days, or two courses of treatment, and you should be able to go home after Dr. Dong comes to deliver supplies twice more."
Gu Sinian looked at her in disbelief, "So fast? I thought it would take a year or two?"
"No need. Absolutely no need. I use only the finest medicinal herbs. It will only take about three courses of treatment, each course lasting seven days. Dr. Dong will come every seven days, so he can give you a thorough check-up."
