Chapter 496
Fortunately, Zachary took a lot of herbs with him, so he immediately sealed the poison in Huang Ting's father's body with acupuncture. Then he used the Mountain-burning Fire from the nine needles in the Xuanmen School to burn the poison out of Huang Tianshou's body. Finally, he prescribed a set of herbs, boiled them, and let Huang Tianshou take them.
After a diagnosis, Lauren found that Huang Tianshou's poison had been removed and the sky had completely darkened.
When Huang Ting learned that Zachary hadn't finished eating, she immediately went to the kitchen and prepared dinner for Zachary.
In the farm kitchen, there were not many big fish and big meat, but there were a lot of countryside dishes. Huang Ting went straight to the field and picked up several pieces of vegetables to cook two dishes for Zachary.
Then Huang Ting took the half-knifeed bacon from the beam, cut it into slices, and prepared to cook some meat for Zachary.
At this moment, Huang Ting's mother, Liu E, came in and saw Huang Ting, who was cutting the dried meat. She rushed over and said, "Tingting, what are you doing?"
Huang Ting glanced at her mother and said, "Zachary hasn't had his meal yet. I'll make him something to eat."
His mother, Liu E, looked around the house and her gaze landed on the two dishes of vegetables. She could not help but say, "Don't you have two dishes? It's already so late. Don't make so much stir-frying. There's no fridge at home. It's broken even if you put it on the table."
Huang Ting looked at her mother with some displeasure and said, "Mom, Zachary saved my father's life. You can't even bear to part with the pork?"
After all, she had saved her husband's life. Liu Er felt a little embarrassed and said, "Tingting, listen to what you said. I didn't mean that. It's just that your brother and sister-in-law went to the county together and would come back tomorrow. Both of them love the bacon cooked by me so much. There is only a little left at home. I thought I could leave some for them."
When it came to her brother and sister-in-law, Huang Ting didn't want to talk more with her mother, so she said, "Okay, okay, I know, I'll leave some for them. You go out first. Zachary has been busy for a long time, please make him a cup of tea!"
Liu Er then walked out of the kitchen.
When Huang Ting was preparing dinner in the kitchen, Zachary asked outside carefully about Huang Tianshou and what he had eaten.
Huang Tianshou told Zachary everything he ate, but Zachary didn't see anything.
At this moment, Huang Ting also cooked the rice. There were two dishes of vegetables, a dish of fried bacon, and a pot of hot rice made with mud stove firewood, which suddenly made Zachary's appetite increase. He picked up his bowl and began to eat.
Huang Ting and her family had already had dinner, so she sat aside and chatted. Liu E suddenly looked at the time and said to Huang Ting hurriedly, "Tingting, it's half past eight. Go and turn on the TV!"
Speaking of TV, Huang Tianshou was full of energy. He sat on the chair and began to concentrate on his preparation. He even took out a small notebook and a pen, as if he was ready to take notes.
This scene made Zachary very surprised. He smiled and said, "What program? Let uncle and aunt take it so seriously."
"That's a good show. It's of great use to poor people like us in the countryside." Liu Er took a look at Zachary, and then she immediately stopped staring at him. She was absorbed in watching TV.
The news gradually brightened, and the voice of a middle-aged man came out. "This prescription was handed down from an imperial physician expelled from the imperial palace in the years of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. It can be used to treat common coughs and fevers. What's more, unlike western medicine, this prescription can not only cure these diseases, but also has the effect of maintaining health, promoting Qi, and revitalizing blood circulation."
"This prescription contains 18 herbs. Among them, common herbs include Kobold's tail grass and Jueming's..."
With the voice on the phone, Huang Tianshou nervously began to record the magical prescription of the expert in a white coat on the TV.
At this time, Zachary couldn't help but feel something, and he seemed to have detected something.
As the program went on, the expert did a few more prescriptions. All of them were so cool that even the exaggerated effect of treating cancer was almost revealed.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Huang Tianshou and Liu E focused on recording the expert's prescriptions.
Then, after the prescription's explanation, the experts on TV began to sell a health care product. It was said that it was developed from more than a few kinds of prescriptions, and the effect was very amazing. It could treat dozens of common diseases, and even had a protective effect on cancer and other diseases. In short, it was extravagant.
In this regard, Zachary was very familiar with it. He didn't watch the advertising content of this TV shopping channel at ordinary times, so he naturally didn't believe it.
But at this moment, when he saw the expression of Huang Ting's parents, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. So he asked, "Uncle, Auntie, do you believe in the effect of this medicine?"
Liu E replied first, "Of course I do. Of course I do."
Zachary frowned and said, "Auntie, don't you think the propaganda is too fake? If it really works well, how can it be only a box of more than 50 yuan?"
Liu Er's answer made Zachary speechless again, "A box of fifty yuan is not expensive! I think this medicine is likely to be true. But it is a little expensive. Otherwise, we would have tried to buy some."
Zachary said, "If more than 50 pieces of medicine can cure so many diseases, why are there so many people going to the hospital? It's so expensive!"
"That's because the hospital is too dark! They're like a devil who eats people without spitting out their bones. Last time, I caught a cold and ended up drinking water, which cost me more than a hundred yuan!" Liu E frowned and said. Huang Tianshou also said, "Although it's a bit too much in the propaganda, it's still effective. Even if it's a little expensive, otherwise, we wouldn't have copied the prescription to make the medicine ourselves!"
Hearing this, Zachary was shocked and said, "You copied the prescription for yourself. Did you take those medicines?"
Huang Tianshou nodded and said, "Of course. Think about it. The effect of the medicine is so magical, and the expert also said that it was developed according to those prescriptions. If we take it according to the original prescription, even if the effect is a little worse, it should have some effect."
Liu E added next to him, "Some of the medicines in the prescription are hard to find and also expensive. So we don't need some of them. Some of them are replaced by cheap ones."
Upon hearing this, before Qin Zi could say anything, Huang Ting was shocked and anxious. She said, "Dad, mom, how can you take medicine at random? What will you do if something goes wrong?"
Liu Er didn't seem to care and said, "Tingting, we didn't take random medicine. We did it according to the expert's prescription on TV. What's more, Mr. Zhang in the neighboring village had a high fever a few months ago. He had to go to the hospital hundreds of times before he could be cured. As a result, according to the expert's prescription on TV, he completely recovered after drinking for two days."
"Mom, this is not..." Huang Ting was anxious, but she didn't know how to tell her parents. So she turned her eyes to Zachary.
Zachary nodded and said, "Uncle, Aunt! You can't take this medicine anymore."
"What's wrong?" Liu Er and Huang Tianshou looked at Zachary in confusion.
Zachary said seriously, "Many of the drugs displayed on these television stations were actually exaggerated or even fake publicity. There are a lot of drugs and health care products from small companies or even private agents. Apart from some basic health care functions, there is no medical effect at all. Many of them are just mixed up with bacteria and de black Susu and other things."
"How come? That's a provincial TV, and it's an expert from a big hospital?" Liu E didn't quite believe Zachary's words.
Zachary said, "This is a TV shopping channel. It's for shopping. It's not for you to see. And many of the doctors are fake. They are not from any big hospital at all."
"This, this can't be!" The two obviously could not accept Zachary's words.
Zachary continued to say, "Take a step back. Even if those drugs and medical experts are real, you can't use those prescriptions as you like."
"Why is that? We're all talking about it according to the specialist. Why can't we use it anymore?"
Zachary said, "In the ratio of traditional Chinese medicine, the effect of missing a medicine is very different most of the time. And the different amount will lead to different effects. The prescription on TV did not mention the specific amount of the medicine. In addition, you are short of medicine, and some other medicines are replaced. It will produce unknown effects, and even the poisoned conditions of uncle are likely to be caused by these medicines." "No way! How, how is this possible?" Liu E still had a look of disbelief on her face.
Huang Tianshou was also puzzled and said, "I drank this prescription several times before, but I didn't have any problem with it!"
Zachary frowned and said, "Tell me exactly how you mixed the medicine this time and the times before, how much did you take, and what did you take before and after you took the medicine. Tell me all about it." "How can you remember this clearly!" Huang Tianshou said.
Huang Ting was anxious and said, "Dad, this is a matter of life and death. You can tell me as much as you want. Hurry up!"
Under the urging of his daughter, Huang Tianshou and Liu Er told Zachary all the prescriptions and dosage they had taken before.
After Zachary made a thorough comparison, his face changed greatly and he said, "I'm sure, it's because of this prescription that Uncle was poisoned."
"But..."
Zachary did not wait for them to finish and said directly, "You were not poisoned before because of this smell. The amount of fish-smelling grass is not as much as this time. Plus, at noon today, you ate Papa, who made it with wormwood. It combined with other drugs in the prescription, resulting in the production of a kind of toxin in the end."
