Chapter 16: A Couple

"Actually, cancer is not so easy to cure in traditional Chinese medicine." The old man said.

"I'll just say, it's useless." The man spoke for the first time since he came here, and he didn't wait for the old man to finish speaking.

"But," the old man glanced at the man, "I can give you a pill if you want to believe it." See what you think. ”

"Hmph, it's just some charlatans, ghosts believe it! Let's go! "Men have always disbelieved in traditional Chinese medicine, and since childhood, they have been influenced by the idea of admiring foreign countries, believing that only foreign technology is top-notch, and domestic technology cannot be trusted at all.

After saying that, he was about to go out the door, and his wife hurriedly rushed over and grabbed him.

"Finally, there is a doctor who has a way, so you can believe it. I'm begging you, okay? His wife begged him.

However, the man was still indifferent, shook off her hand, and walked out the door.

His wife was also very helpless, she turned her head and apologized to the old man, and chased him out again.

Hou Yue walked up to the old man and asked, "Grandpa, why haven't I heard you say that there is a medicine that can cure cancer before?"

"This is a recipe handed down by the older generation, in fact, in ancient times, there were also drugs that can treat cancer, but it is not common." The old man said.

"You can apply for a national patent, there are so many people with this disease now, it is better to disclose the prescription and expand the scale of production, so that more people can spend a low price to cure their disease, grandpa, right?"

The old man couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I used to be like you, fantasizing about being able to help more people." However, this is already impossible. ”

Hou Yue didn't speak, she was waiting for the old man's words.

"Because, this important primer for making pills is no longer available, and that plant became extinct decades ago due to over-excavation."

Hearing the old man's words, Hou Yue couldn't help but sigh, not paying attention to the protection of the environment and overexploiting natural resources is just an act of people digging their own graves.

"In the past, when we could still make them, our family made some and kept the medicinal herbs, but at the beginning, very few people got this disease, and later when more people got sick, they only knew to go to Western medicine."

"There are only two copies left of the original medicine."

Although Hou Yue wanted to ask the old man what kind of medicinal herb it was, she didn't know how to ask.

Even if she had this kind of medicinal herb in her space, and she could come up with a medicinal herb made from a plant that was extinct in this world, how could she explain it?

She could only sigh and pity, there was nothing else she could do.

The old man was still sitting in his chair, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.

In the afternoon, Hou Yue originally planned to go out for a stroll, but found that there was a person wandering at the door of the pharmacy, looking inside the door from time to time, as if he was staring at the every move of the person inside the door.

Hou Yue was a little worried, so she walked over to see who was watching the pharmacy.

When Hou Yue came out, the person had already found out, and she didn't walk away immediately, but took the initiative to step forward.

Hou Yue found that it was the wife of the couple who was at noon.

I saw her face full of sadness, and when she saw Hou Yue coming over, she immediately said to her: "I recognize you, you are from that pharmacy, right?" ”

Without waiting for Yue to speak, she said, "If your medicine really works, please save my husband!" ”。

Subsequently, she and Hou Yue came to a bubble tea shop and unfolded her narrative.
