Chapter 107 If it wasn't external pathogens entering the body, could it be poisoning?
Tong Jiahui brought her whole family from Yan City to this place to take care of her father. Tong Yuheng also had a deep affection for her maternal grandfather, so it was quite normal for her to get some medicinal herbs to make some pills for him.
He really hoped that his maternal grandfather in the Tong family had some kind of panacea pill that he could take back and cure his grandfather.
As soon as it got dark, the two quietly went to the cowshed. After checking that no one was around, they went inside and knocked on the door of Tong Anfu's room.
Unbeknownst to them, several houses away, someone was observing them with binoculars as they approached the cowshed.
"Hello, Grandpa Tong!" Li Chengsong greeted the old man first, then greeted the little boy, "Hello, little brother Yu Chen!"
"Brother Li Chengsong, you're here! Are you here to take me to see my mom and dad?" The little guy was excited again; he also wanted to ride a big ship to the sea.
"Yu Chen, Brother Li has something to discuss with Grandpa this time, why don't you go play with Yan Yan?" Tong Yuheng said to him.
"Oh, okay then." The little guy was a little disappointed, but he obediently went out.
"Grandpa, Comrade Li's grandfather is seriously ill. I'd like to tell you the details and see if you have any medicine that I can take with me..." Tong Yuheng said as he entered.
Tong Anfu understood that she wanted to use that magical potion to save people, but needed an excuse, so he had no choice but to cooperate.
If it's simply a matter of old age and weakened physical abilities, he does have a good medicine here to strengthen the body. But if it's some other ailment, he can't just give medicine indiscriminately!
Li Chengsong explained to him in detail that his grandfather had been listless and in poor health since before the Lunar New Year, and was even unable to walk.
He was better for the first two months, but recently it's gotten worse again, to the point of shock. He's been resuscitated several times already, and I'm afraid it's not going to get better...
"This situation is rather complicated. We can't see the person or feel their pulse, so I'm afraid there's no suitable medicine," Tong Anfu said.
He also asked his grandfather in detail about his age, whether he had suffered any injuries, and whether he had any underlying medical conditions.
"My grandfather has always been in good health. He even practiced martial arts when he was young. He is 68 years old this year, and he is far from being frail."
The decline began about a month before the Lunar New Year. Grandpa suddenly caught a cold, and it got worse after that. He became weak all over, lost his hair, had no appetite, and couldn't even walk a few steps.
"This... Yuheng, if this isn't due to external pathogens entering the body, could it be poisoning?"
Tong Anfu realized that Li Chengsong's grandfather was probably not a simple person, and it was highly likely that someone wanted to harm him. Otherwise, how could a robust old man with such good living conditions suddenly become so weak?
"Poisoning? But the test results show no signs of poisoning?" Li Chengsong was somewhat incredulous, because his grandfather's security level was extremely high, making it difficult for poison to reach his vicinity.
"Many toxic substances cannot be detected by testing. You should go back and thoroughly check his food and supplies!" Tong Yuheng suggested.
"Then, can we leave earlier?" Li Chengsong was very uneasy and couldn't wait to get home.
"Okay! There's a bus at midnight, let's take that one!" Now that we've made up our minds, let's not hesitate any longer.
Tong Yuheng took two bottles of pills from her grandfather. These were made using a secret recipe from her space, using medicinal herbs grown with spiritual spring water from her space.
Even without using her spiritual spring water, it should still have some effect on Grandpa Li!
They quickly left the cowshed. Tong Yuheng packed her things quickly, slung her oversized backpack over her shoulder, and followed Li Chengsong to the army base.
He still had to return the car, and then the young soldier would take him to the Qingshi County train station. After all that, it was almost midnight.
He decided to board the train at the last minute, and this time he didn't even have a seat ticket. After arriving on the train, Li Chengsong immediately went to find the train conductor to ask if there were any sleeper berths available.
This was the first time Tong Yuheng had gone out with him, and of course he didn't want her to suffer. In the end, they only managed to get an upper berth, leaving him to stand in the hard-seat carriage all night.
Tong Yuheng took a small stool out of his backpack and handed it to him, smiling as he said, "I guessed there might not be any seats, so I brought two. You can take one, and I'll let you sleep in the sleeper berth for a while tomorrow morning."
"You're so insightful! But you should sleep in a little longer tomorrow. When we're on a mission, it's common for us to go a whole day without sleep." Li Chengsong took the small stool, thinking to himself how thoughtful this girl was.
"I can still sleep for twelve hours? It's a deal then, let's have breakfast together, and then it's your turn to sleep for a while!"
"good!"
That evening, Tong Yuheng was busy in the space again, packing all the goods to be sold this time. The baskets and hampers inside were collected from the villagers by the brigade leader.
She asked her fourth uncle, Cheng, to take it to a house she rented in the county town, saying it was for a friend from another province, and they would take it when they had a ride.
She wanted to pay Cheng Sijiu for the shipping fee, but he refused to accept it no matter what. So Tong Yuheng would give him a lot of fruit each time, and he would share it with his eldest sister and several brothers.
In the past two or three months, the villagers have made some money from weaving baskets and hampers, and the willow branches in the grove by the river have been pulled bare.
She had no choice but to switch to collecting reed baskets and small crates, giving the poor willows along the river some room to grow. The village chief explained that Tong Yuheng had found her this job, and the villagers once again praised her for being capable.
This time, she planned to sell mainly fish, shrimp, and fruit, many of which were southern varieties. There weren't many types, only five or six.
She can get saplings of trees that are one or two years old, like dragon fruit, which mature quickly, but for trees that take more than ten years to produce delicious fruit, she can't get her hands on any yet.
The fruit tree saplings from the north that she planted in the space are not yet ready to bear fruit. The space has a speed of ten times the normal speed, and most of the medicinal herbs that become more valuable with age are still immature.
The space produced a lot of grain, contributing some to the expansion of the space's land area. There was also a large amount of rice and wheat stored in the warehouse, and she planned to sell some of it to Zheng Yunqing.
Grandpa Li's matter is more important. We'll talk about reselling space resources after this is settled.
More than two months have passed, and I wonder how Fan Dayong is doing now. Fan Yaqing is also facing her graduation exams in July. Hehehe, I wonder if she'll hurry up and find someone to marry, or go to the countryside?
That shameless bastard, could he be planning to go to Chenjiatun as part of a rural relocation program while still eyeing the Tong family's wealth?
She can come whenever she wants; I was just worried about not being able to keep her under my nose, afraid she might cause some trouble!
She worked in the space until three or four in the morning, then went to sleep in the bedroom. She was well-rested by six o'clock, when it was already bright outside.
