Chapter 13 The Pill to Sustain Life
"Can you actually practice kung fu?" Grandpa asked with a little interest after listening to Su Mei.
"I know a little of it. You can ask this guy if you do not believe." As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to Lin Feng at his side.
"Hey! You know just a little kung fu and you can be a security guard for a lifetime!" Lin Feng said dismissively as he snorted. However, he did not dare refute this; after all, his dislocated joints had just been reset, and it still hurt at that time.
Grandpa smiled wide and was about to say something, when suddenly, his face turned purple-red and his whole body trembled fiercely.
"Oh, Jesus! Grandpa's health is growing worse!" The doctor's face suddenly became clouded and he immediately called the medical staff to come. He said to Su Mei's mother in a panic, "Madam, Grandpa must be getting worse because of his swinging moods. He is in poor physical condition now and he cannot be treated by operating at all. I am afraid that he cannot go through it."
"Then what should we do? Doctor, please, please save my grandfather!" Su Mei and her mother panicked and burst into tears.
"Grandpa's illness can only be treated with an operation, but his body is now in a condition too weak to withstand an operation." The doctor shook his head in a distressed manner. His words made the faces of Su Mei and her mother suddenly turn pale.
At that moment, joy flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and pretended to be anxious. "Mei, don't worry, I will call someone to contact the best hospital in America right now. Your grandfather must be fine."
Ye Tian suddenly frowned after he heard Lin Feng’s boasting. He couldn't wait to slap Lin Feng. Even if you want to please this beauty, you should clearly tell the truth about this situation! How can Grandpa survive the long journey of going abroad with his poor physical condition?
After hesitating for a while, Ye Tian offered a proposal. "If you trust me, I have an idea. Although it may not be able to cure Grandpa, it can greatly alleviate his illness."
"What can you do?" Su Mei anxiously asked, like a drowning man clutching at a straw. She rushed to Ye Tian and grabbed his wrist.
Lin Feng, on the side, thought that Ye Tian had once again destroyed his plan, and could not help but frown. "You are just a poor security guard who is used as a shield. You can only fool the old. What can you do with this kind of thing?"
"I have gone to find an old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor before I came here. He gave me a Traditional Chinese Medicine pill, which may be helpful to the treatment of Grandpa's illness." As he spoke, Ye Tian took out the pill to sustain life that he had previously drawn in the lottery.
He had originally saved this pill for his younger sister, but although her stomach cancer was a terminal illness, it could not endanger her life in the immediate future. Anyway, of all the things drawn in the lottery could be purchased in the store, so he was in no hurry to get it at that time.
When Su Mei saw that Ye Tian really took out a purple gel pill from his pocket, disappointment flashed in her eyes and she gently shook her head.
At the side, Lin Feng seemed to have caught Ye Tian, and said immediately, "Do you want to kill Grandpa with this thing of unknown origin? That's ridiculous. An old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor? Traditional Chinese Medicine is just a kind of witchcraft. How can it have an effect on Grandpa' illness? What do you say, Doctor?"
"Traditional Chinese Medicine has magical features, but the therapeutic effect is far slower than that of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine pills are all deceptive. Grandpa's treatment can't be delayed. We'd better take him to the emergency room for treatment, and the rest is in God's hands." The doctor shook his head and obviously did not believe that the pill in Ye Tian's hands could work.
"Trust me! This pill can definitely work. Just like fighting a losing battle. We will see if it can work," Ye Tian said firmly, ignoring Lin Feng.
"Tian, I know that you want to help Su Mei, but now is not the time to mess around," Su Mei’s mother said. She told the doctor to send Grandpa to the emergency room.
Lin Feng, at the side, triumphantly grabbed the pill in Ye Tian's hand. He said disdainfully, "Are you kidding? Do you know Grandpa's status? How can he take something of unknown origin? What if it hurts Grandpa? These kinds of things that are made by rural fake doctors could do that! Can you take responsibility for that?!"
Seeing that Grandpa's body was beginning to twitch, Ye Tian ignored Lin Feng's nonsensical words. He shook his arm from Lin Feng, which immediately slammed Lin Feng back. He walked to Grandpa laying in the bed a few steps away, and did not hesitate to put the pill to sustain life in Grandpa's mouth.
"Ye Tian!" Having no time to stop it, Su Mei could only shout in panic.
After all, in most people's memories, the first impression of this kind of pill was the pill that the rural fake doctor used to deceive patients—a sort of "snake oil salesman", as some called it in the west.
"Trust me!" Ye Tian grasped Su Mei's hand and looked at her resolutely.
Before Su Mei said anything, Lin Feng, who watched all this from the side, couldn't hide his growing dislike. Acting angry, he said with indignation. "Do you have any idea what you have just done? By knowing Grandpa's high social status, you dare let him take a pill made by a rural fake doctor and even call this Traditional Chinese Medicine. Bah! You just want to kill Grandpa."
It seemed that saying this could not vent his ire, so Lin Feng turned his eyes, and seeing a chair, grabbed it and moved to slam it directly onto Ye Tian's head.
In his opinion, this was definitely a great opportunity. How could a pill made by a Traditional Chinese Medicine "quack" doctor even work? If this pill killed Su Mei’s grandfather, he naturally had a chance to pursuit Su Mei. Even if the pill did not worsen Grandfather's condition, the others would not say anything about him fighting Ye Tian with righteous anger.
"Watch out!" Su Mei saw Lin Feng picking up the chair and slam it on the back of Ye Tian's head. She could not help but blurt out the warning. If Ye Tian was hit directly by Lin Feng, he would definitely being lying on the bed for at least half a month.
Ye Tian also felt a breeze of movement coming behind his head. He was trying to avoid it, but suddenly realized in seconds that Su Mei still stood in front of him. If he dodged to escaped it, Su Mei would take the attack and be totally be hurt.
At this critical moment, Ye Tian's Martial Art of Tai Chi finally played a role. The power of Tai Chi was automatically running in his body. Without Ye Tian even turning around, his arm swung in a circle in the air and his palm grabbed the chair leg, using its momentum to divert the action.
The sudden redirection made the chair swing Ye Tian's arm to slam the chair to the floor. Lin Feng, carried by this force, was forced to roll directly to the floor.
"Fantastic!" a loud praising voice sounded. On the bed, Grandpa lay watching the activity, and he gave a thumbs-up to Ye Tian. He said, "I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that you actually add great value to Mei's company with your good skills. This move of decomposing force was ingeniously played. Even people who can't use kung fu, like me, can't help but cheer for you."
