In fact, Jiang Duo regretted it as soon as he took the medicine out and put it on the table. After all, this medicine couldn’t be eaten carelessly. He still remembered that the shop he had bought them from was too shady. What good stuff could it have? It was just ridiculously expensive!
Father Jiang saw that Jiang Duo had randomly bought some medicine for his father, and was about to scold him, when Old Master Jiang’s coughing finally eased up a bit. He looked at Jiang Duo lovingly and waved at him. “My good grandson, come… cough, cough… over here; let me see how effective this… cough, cough… medicine is.”
“Dad, how can you be reckless when taking medicine?” Father Jiang’s face was dark. He paused and said angrily to the kid in front of him, “Where did you buy this medicine from? How dare you give it to your grandfather without knowing anything about it?”
Jiang Duo didn’t have much confidence at first, and had been about to honestly say that this medicine was bought from a shady shop and was indeed unreliable. At that moment, however, he was incensed by his father, who looked at him like he was crap. “How could I have bought it for no reason? This is a miracle medicine for treating coughs. This bottle is worth a million. I specially got these pills from a shady… from the most famous state practitioner in the capital! It’s for treating dry throat and coughs, and can prolong your life!”
Father Jiang didn’t take this bottle seriously at first, but when he heard this kid say that he had bought it at a high price from a state practitioner, Father Jiang hesitated for a while. After confirming repeatedly that this kid wasn’t lying, he believed him a little.
Moreover, Father Jiang was clutching at straws now. His father had taken a lot of hospital medicine, but they were useless. This medicine which this kid had gotten from somewhere… Maybe it really was useful?
Father Jiang didn’t have much hope. He just hoped that it wouldn’t aggravate the old man’s situation after he ate it.
But when the old man really took the medicine, Father Jiang was still worried. On the other hand, Grandpa Jiang really didn’t want to waste his grandson’s good intentions. He didn’t have much life left in his body, so he didn’t care what medicine he took.
On the side, Jiang Duo’s heart was in his throat when he saw that his grandfather was really going to take the medicine. He didn’t expect the million-yuan medicine from this shady shop to have any effect, but it shouldn’t have any side effects, right?!
The owner of this shady shop would at most sell fake medicine; they wouldn’t sell medicine that could kill people, right?
The more Jiang Duo thought about it, the more nervous he became. While consoling himself, he immediately took out his phone and clicked on the Taobao shop when Father Jiang wasn’t paying attention. He found the shop owner and immediately sent a message: “Shady shop owner, your pills won’t kill people, right?”
The other party’s reply was quick and cold: “You won’t die from eating them!”
Jiang Duo stared at these words and heaved a sigh of relief.
Old Master Jiang ignored Father Jiang at that moment and took out the bottle stopper. Immediately, a light and pleasant medicinal herb fragrance wafted over from the mouth of the bottle. For some reason, when Grandpa Jiang smelled the fragrance, his spirit abruptly jolted and his body felt a lot more comfortable.
Old Master Jiang quickly poured out a Nourishment Pill. As soon as he did so, the herbal fragrance intensified, but Grandpa Jiang wasn’t put off in the slightest. Instead, the more he smelled it, the more comfortable his body felt. His throat had still been itchy earlier and made him want to cough, but after smelling this fragrance, it actually felt much better?
Father Jiang, who was standing next to him, was also jolted by the dense medicinal herb fragrance. Although he also felt that this “pill” might be something good, he thought about how his son was very unreliable, and he was afraid that this kid had gotten some fake medicine from somewhere for the old man to eat. Seeing that the old man was about to take the medicine, Father Jiang was still a little worried. “Dad!”
Grandpa Jiang had also seen a lot of the world. At that moment, his eyes were fixed on the white, fat, and translucent pill, and he felt that this thing wasn’t ordinary.
Grandpa Jiang, who originally didn’t have much expectation, couldn’t wait to swallow this “pill.” Grandpa Jiang pulled Father Jiang’s hand away and directly swallowed the pill.
When Jiang Duo saw his grandfather swallow the “pill,” he felt a little uncertain and afraid. “Grandpa… Grandpa! Are you… a little better?”
