Chapter 389 Treating Two Elderly People
389
Lai Jiaxing had already gone to their room and brought the two quilts that Lai Xiang had brought over to cover the two elderly people. Tang Yue reached out and touched Mr. Ke's wrist. In the light of the fire, Tang Yue always felt that Mr. Ke's face seemed familiar, but she frowned, she just couldn't remember where she had seen it.
"Grandpa, your leg is broken, and there is blood clot blocking your blood vessels."
Mr. Ke just felt that he was on his deathbed. For some reason, as soon as the little girl touched his wrist, he felt a trace of cool air entering his body. He immediately felt that his body became much lighter and his mind became much clearer.
"Well, little girl, do you know medical skills?"
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Yeah, I've learned a little bit, but only the basics."
There was no disappointment on Mr. Ke's face; he had become indifferent to life and death. "Well, you're so young, yet you can accurately understand my condition. You're a promising talent. You'll have a great future. It's China..."
Mr. Ke couldn't continue. These days, practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine wasn't a good job. "Little girl, why don't you learn how to give injections and IVs first? Pulse-taking, wait a minute."
Tang Yue felt a warm feeling in her heart. The old man before her could no longer care for himself, yet he still remembered to advise her, a stranger he had only met once, on how to avoid those risks. How could such a person be defined as a bad person?
"Grandpa, it's okay. I don't usually treat patients. I can cure your leg, so please live well."
After hearing Tang Yue's words, Mr. Ke forced a smile and said, "What's the point of living?"
Mr. Xu on the side gently hit Mr. Ke's shoulder and said, "Mr. Ke, be strong. We are still waiting to see those..." It should be the end of those guys, the future of China, and the beautiful rivers and mountains after China's rise.
However, at this moment, in this bullpen, there were many things they could not say.
Old Ke didn't know what he was thinking about, and a glimmer of fighting spirit ignited in his eyes, but it was only for a moment. There was nothing he could do. His leg was broken, and at this time, without medical care, medicine, or food, and in such a freezing cold cowshed, how could he possibly survive?
Tang Jianye quickly fixed the oilcloth in the room. With the blessing of the warming talisman, the temperature in their room rose sharply. Elder Xu felt that the temperature in the room was really good. He seemed to have never felt so warm before.
"Grandpa, China will get better and better, and the darkness will surely pass. You have to hold on and wait for that day to come." As he spoke, the spiritual power had already circulated twice in Old Ke's body, and Old Ke felt that he was really alive.
Tang Yue took out a black pill and said, "This is a medicine made by my master. It can clear the blockage in the body and also heal bones. If you trust me, take it."
Lai Xiang happened to use the clay pot here to get some snow and boiled some water. She brought a bowl over to Mr. Ke. Mr. Ke took the meatballs and ate them without hesitation, and drank the water from Lai Xiang's hand.
After drinking a few sips of boiling water, Mr. Ke felt his body warming up from the inside out. Tang Yue picked up a few smooth pieces of firewood from the pile of firewood in the house and fixed Mr. Ke's legs in the right position.
"Grandpa, don't move this leg for now. It will get better after a while."
Some color finally returned to Mr. Ke's face.
Tang Yue took Mr. Xu's pulse again and said, "Grandpa, you have been suffering from long-term lumbar muscle strain, coupled with the pressure of gravity, and now you can't straighten your back."
Mr. Xu nodded repeatedly. He hadn't expected this little girl to be so skilled. Tang Yue took out another black ball and handed it to Mr. Xu, who ate it as well.
Tang Yue made these balls when she had free time using the herbs in her space. Their effects were mixed, but they were indeed effective. Tang Yue transferred spiritual energy to both old men.
If their bodies were not nourished by spiritual energy, it would be a pipe dream to expect them to recover slowly under the current conditions.
The two old men gradually recovered and had the energy to talk to the others. "Lai boy, is that your daughter?"
Lai Jiaxing replied to Mr. Xu, "Well, my little girl took the initiative 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 had admiration in their eyes. Mr. Ke nodded, "He's a good kid."
Lai Xiang squatted over the fire and said, "Grandpas, my dad made some porridge, but it's probably not enough. Can I use this clay pot to make some more?"
Old Xu nodded and said, "Girl, you can use it." Then he turned around and took out a cloth bag from the corner of the bed. There should be about half a pound of rice in it. He was about to hand it to Lai Xiang, but Lai Xiang quickly shook her head.
"No need, Grandpa. I brought food."
Old Xu disagreed. "Hurry up and take it. How can I use your food? You are just a little girl. Whether you have enough to eat or not is another matter. Take it quickly."
Tang Yue took the cloth bag and handed it to Lai Xiang. Facing Lai Xiang's puzzled look, she winked at her. Lai Xiang took it, but she didn't use the rice inside.
The room became warmer, and the two old men's spirits became noticeably better. They were both very grateful to Tang Yue, and at the same time, they felt very close to this little girl.
Old Ke looked at the little girl in front of him with increasing curiosity. "She came here to visit her parents. What are you doing here?"
There was a hint of humor in their voices, and they themselves felt strange. How long had it been since they felt the presence of human beings?
Tang Yue nodded towards Lai Xiang and said, "Sister Lai and I are good friends. I just happened to be here so I came to see you."
Lai Xiang retorted, "Grandpa Ke, that's not true. Xiao Yueyue came all the way here to see me. They brought me so many things today. That's not all. Xiao Yueyue used 100 kilograms of flour and had the strong laborers in the village build three houses for me in one day, and also built a large yard."
This sentence almost stunned everyone in the room. It took a long time for them to recover. Wu Jinghua felt that the room was much warmer and came over.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Lai Xiang's words. "What? You built three houses in one day?"
Wu Jinghua couldn't believe her ears. Lai Xiang quickly stood up and helped her mother in, then began to tell the story vividly to the others. Everyone exclaimed in amazement, sighing that Tang Yue was truly amazing.
Since the cowshed had been built, it hadn't been this lively. The noise from here could naturally be heard by the couple in the empty room across from them. The woman felt very uneasy. "We're already living in the cowshed, and you still don't know how to quiet down? If you keep making trouble tomorrow, I'll report you to the Red Army Society."
The man was very impatient. "Stop thinking about it. Don't you know what time it is now? Don't cause trouble."
Tang Yue heard these two sentences and lowered her voice, "Grandpa Ke, when did you come here?"
The two looked at each other, and Grandpa Ke said, "We came in September." Tang Yue nodded to the innermost cowshed, "What about them?"
Old Ke shook his head. "I don't know. They were already here when Old Xu and I came here. But those two are quite strange. They never interact with us. They haven't gone out to work either, so I don't know what their situation is."
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. She thought about who Mr. Ke and Mr. Xu were. They had also walked out of bullets and gunfire when they were young. She immediately felt that something was wrong.
Mr. Ke's voice lowered. "What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with them?"
Tang Yue raised the corner of her lips, "Well, if there is any problem, just ask and you will know."
Tang Jianye looked at Tang Yue. No way, no way? They just came to see an educated youth, how could they catch an illegal criminal?
But Tang Yue wasn't in a hurry. No one knew where she got a few bowls from, but she washed them with snow outside the door. Lai Xiang then served everyone a bowl of thick rice porridge. Lai Jiaxing and his friends hadn't had such thick porridge in a long time. As they ate, tears welled up in their eyes.
Mr. Ke and Mr. Xu felt even worse. They had been here for several months, and in such a difficult environment, none of their family members asked about their situation or sent them even a little bit of anything.
After dinner, Tang Yue looked at Tang Jianye and said, "Let's go to work."
