Chapter 363: Forget about the others
"Mr. Song, Mrs. Song, the old man's current condition shows that the signs of poisoning have completely disappeared, and his heart has resumed strong beats. Although his body is still somewhat weak at the moment, overall, the poison has been neutralized. He can be discharged after a few days of recovery."
These experts really didn't want to come to this conclusion, but they couldn't just lie and say the treatment wasn't effective.
They are people with medical ethics.
This ancestral secret remedy indeed works; it not only neutralized the poison but also restored the person to a very good state.
They couldn't even administer an IV or anything to the old man, because his current condition doesn't require any medication. With just some proper rest, he can gradually recover.
Song Qingyun and his brothers were overjoyed; moments ago, they were preparing for the worst, considering the old man's sudden death.
They hadn't made many preparations, feeling saddened by the passing of their father, which was deeply distressing.
Moreover, the old man's death would deal a severe blow to the family.
But now, everything is different.
Song Qingyun looked gratefully at Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao, "Moting, Xiaoxiao, thanks to you, thanks to your ancestral remedy, I really didn't expect so many folk experts in our Xia Country. This ancestral secret formula is truly remarkable.
If it hadn't been for you today, the old man would have been in real danger. Thank you."
Jiang Xiaoxiao responded humbly.
"Uncle, you're too kind. Grandfather is our grandfather too, we are family. As miraculous as this medicinal wine is, I didn't expect it either. Our family has used this ancestral remedy for hundreds of years, but it hasn't been shared outside, only used within the family.
Our ancestors instructed not to use it carelessly, because we're not practitioners. If it's used incorrectly, it can be deadly. After all, it's medicine. Today was a matter of desperation, flailing for a cure."
Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn't exaggerating; using this ancestral remedy improperly could indeed be fatal.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the ward was harmonious, and after checking on the old man for a while, the doctors left.
Feng Zaisan glanced meaningfully at the teapot in Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand.
This thing is real good.
Although he knew some ancestral remedies are fraudulent, basically just money scams.
Yet, some genuine ancestral remedies handed down by elders are truly effective, especially some royal formulas.
Those things are hardly seen in the market anymore; mostly hidden in various families.
Seeing one outside is very rare, absolutely unexpected to see such a rare formula in the hands of an ordinary person like Jiang Xiaoxiao today. If it weren't for saving the old man, they probably wouldn't have brought it out, and naturally wouldn't know.
"Old man, how are you now?"
Old Mrs. Song excitedly held the old man's hand; moments ago, he seemed to have had a close call with death, vomiting so much blood.
She was terribly worried, afraid his body was still uncomfortable.
Although the doctors said his condition was good, the concern in her heart couldn't be eased.
They've been married for so many years, with deep affection between them, unlike those arranged marriages.
There's a strong emotional foundation between them.
"I'm fine, I've improved a lot. Did I scare you just now?"
As soon as the old man spoke, Song Qingyun was stunned and shocked.
"Look, Dad's mouth isn't crooked anymore."
Earlier, everyone was just concerned about whether the old man could survive, long forgetting about the stroke issue.
As the old man spoke, everyone immediately reacted; indeed, his mouth wasn't crooked, and his eyes weren't slanted anymore.
His overall condition was excellent, his complexion rosy, his eyes bright, he seemed quite spirited.
This time, Song Qingyun didn't need reminding, he immediately ran out and called the doctors back. Several doctors, upon hearing the old man recovered from his stroke, looked at each other in amazement and quickly came in to check.
"It's truly amazing; the old man has recovered from his stroke."
The doctor said with a smile.
"Mom, did you hear? Dad's stroke has healed, Dad's stroke has healed."
Song Qingyun excitedly shook his mother's hand.
He truly didn't expect such unexpected joy, thinking earlier it would be good enough just for the old man to survive, even if bedridden. As long as the old man lived, it would be significant for the Song family.
But now, not only is the old man alive, but his stroke is healed too.
An immobile old man and one who can continue working are certainly different.
"Doctor, how is this possible, could this be treating poison with poison? After poisoning, is there such an effect?"
No wonder Song Qingyun thought this way; stroke is notoriously hard to cure.
Many know there are often some after-effects following a stroke.
Currently, there's no excellent treatment to completely cure it.
But now, unexpectedly poisoned, the old man's stroke has healed.
"Mr. Song, currently we don't have a scientific explanation for this. No stroke patient would consider ingesting cyanide, which is extremely poisonous. Whether it's treating poison with poison or if cyanide has any therapeutic effect on stroke after-effects, we really haven't researched this area.
But from the old man's current condition, there's a strong possibility. Of course, another explanation: it cannot be ruled out that the ancestral secret remedy you gave may contain substances beneficial for stroke treatment.
The best solution would be to provide this ancestral remedy to our hospital for some experimental research; perhaps we might find a new treatment method."
The doctor spoke with an ulterior motive; they wanted to see what the ancestral remedy contained.
If this ancestral remedy could be utilized in the hospital, its detoxifying effect could be quicker than Western medicine, better than methods like inducing vomiting or IV drips, as it can detoxify cyanide. It stands to reason it would have a strong effect on other toxins too.
Such a remedy would definitely be a thrilling discovery for any hospital.
Academically, they'd absolutely lead other hospitals by several steps.
Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately hid the teapot behind her back.
You're kidding!
If she handed over her ancestral teapot remedy for them to dissect under a microscope, it might be exposed. It's known that a check in this teapot would only reveal peach juice, with no other medicinal ingredients.
Essentially stripping her cover bare.
Then people would definitely question what her ancestral secret remedy really is.
Not even able to bluff.
She definitely wouldn't do that.
Song Moting's eyes flashed; this is when he should come forward.
"Doctor, I'm afraid that's not possible. Xiaoxiao's family has a rule that this ancestral remedy must absolutely not be revealed. Originally, their ancestors passed down that this remedy can only be used within the family.
If it weren't for my grandfather this time, Xiaoxiao likely wouldn't have brought it out for others."
That's what an ancestral secret remedy is, so profound.
Ancestral implies many rules, no need to say.
Only he can uncover his wife's little secrets; others should just let it be.
