Chapter 144 Helping the Elderly (2/2)



She had to drug Zhao Guohua before she felt comfortable knocking on the old man's door.

Several elderly people were still awake. They were exhausted after a busy day, and their old ailments were tormenting them. In addition, the weather was cold and the house was chilly, making it impossible for them to fall asleep.

Hearing the knock on the door, the elderly people were quite surprised. Who would come so late?

"Who is it?" Zhou Huageng asked.

Li Xiyue said softly, "It's me, Li Xiyue."

"Is it that girl from this morning?" Zhou Huageng and the others were all shocked. Why was she here?

"Open the door quickly," Qi Wenxin said hastily.

Zhou Huageng opened the door and saw that it was indeed the incredibly beautiful girl. He smiled and invited her into the house.

The room was cramped, with two small beds and thin blankets; the temperature inside was about the same as outside.

Li Xiyue felt deeply sorry for them. Given their age and the circumstances, they really wouldn't have made it through if she hadn't come.

"Young lady, what brings you here?" Qi Wenxin wanted to confirm whether it was as she had guessed.

Li Xiyue said, "I noticed this morning that you all weren't feeling well, but since I had been looking at you all during the day, I thought I'd come over tonight to take a look."

As she spoke, she put down her basket and took out the contents, "I brought some food, charcoal, and cotton clothes and quilts."

"Girl, thank you so much." Qi Wenxin and Shen Hongying held her hands, tears streaming down their faces.

It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. I never expected this child to be not only upright but also so kind-hearted.

Zhou Huageng and He Linfeng also had tears in their eyes. This was the first time they had felt the warmth of humanity since they were sent down to the countryside, and it was during their most difficult time. This genuine affection was truly rare.

"Come, let me take a look at you." Li Xiyue helped the elderly sit down and took their pulses one by one.

Their situation was far more serious than she had imagined. Zhou Huageng and his wife had many hidden injuries, which, if they had been well cared for, would have been fine. But now that they had suffered this misfortune, these injuries were enough to kill them.

Especially Shen Hongying, whose leg was broken. Although it has been set, she is old and her body is declining in all aspects. It will be difficult for her to recover to normal. We can only alleviate her symptoms and let her suffer less.

He Linfeng has lung problems, and the cold weather causes him to cough all night. If he is exposed to cold wind for a long time, it could endanger his life.

Qi Wenxin's chronic leg pain is quite severe; she probably can't sleep at night because of the pain.

After learning about the four elderly people's conditions, Li Xiyue first gave them some basic treatment.

Give them each acupuncture treatment to relieve their symptoms and help them sleep well at night.

During the acupuncture treatment, we laid out blankets for them, lit a charcoal brazier, and boiled a kettle of water. Having a fire in the room would make things a little better.

After finishing all that, it was time to go. Li Xiyue removed the silver needles and said, "Soaking your feet for a while before bed will make you feel better."

"Okay, we understand. Miss, you should go back now. We'll handle the rest ourselves," Qi Wenxin urged her to leave.

Such a good girl shouldn't be dragged down by them.

The other three also told her to leave quickly, be careful, and not let anyone find out.

Li Xiyue left some painkillers for the elderly to take when they couldn't sleep at night due to the pain, and then she left.

I'll prepare the medicine and send it over tomorrow, depending on their condition.

Back at the clinic, just as I was about to rest, I suddenly heard Xu Daqiang shouting from outside, "Is Dr. Li here? My wife is about to give birth..."
