Chapter 40 Get out of the way if you don't want people to die
The old woman who had just come in had also heard the gist of it.
Although she didn't believe her daughter would get the wrong medicine, she wouldn't just assume that Wang Tao and the others were there to cause trouble.
"Young lady, please don't be angry. There might be some misunderstanding here."
Hearing the other party's words, Wang Tao was not only not appeased, but even angrier. "What misunderstanding? We've brought the medicine here now, and you still won't admit it."
Upon hearing this, the old woman glanced at the counter and her pupils immediately contracted.
The wrapping paper for the medicinal herbs on the counter is the same one used exclusively in their shop.
Moreover, the bandaging technique was one that my daughter often used.
The old woman nodded, then looked at Wang Tao again. "Young lady, that packet of medicine was indeed obtained from here. But could I see your prescription?"
Seeing that the other party was finally willing to admit it, Wang Tao felt much better.
She took out the prescription Li Yi had written earlier and handed it to him, saying, "Why can't this be done? Take a look carefully."
The old woman quickly took the prescription and looked at it carefully.
"15 grams of Epimedium, 15 grams of Cistanche deserticola, and 10 grams of Codonopsis pilosula... This is a good prescription for soothing the liver, regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and dissipating nodules."
Li Yi hadn't expected that the old woman in front of him could recognize the effect of the prescription at a glance.
However, he was also a little angry when he thought about how Wang Yingnan had deliberately given him the wrong medicine.
"Hmph! What good is a good prescription if someone deliberately gets the wrong medicine, trying to rob and kill someone?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's expression changed slightly.
She took a deep look at her daughter and noticed that her daughter's eyes were darting around, so she had a rough idea of what was going on.
However, she didn't rush to express her opinion. Instead, she walked step by step to the counter and opened the packet of Chinese medicine.
Epimedium, Cistanche deserticola, Codonopsis pilosula...
The old woman stretched out her fingers and carefully separated the pile of medicinal herbs one by one.
When she saw the astragalus in the medicinal herbs, her expression completely changed.
"Xiao Nan! Explain yourself! What exactly happened?"
The old woman suddenly raised her voice, picked up a piece of astragalus root, and looked at her daughter with an excited expression.
Seeing that his scheme had been exposed and that he could no longer hide it, Wang Yingnan could only stammer, "I...I don't know either, maybe they arrested the wrong person..."
"You arrested the wrong person? You still won't admit it!"
The old woman gritted her teeth, trembling with rage.
When my daughter saw the astragalus in her hand, her expression showed no surprise other than panic, which clearly meant she knew the outcome beforehand.
"I...Mom, please don't be angry."
Seeing his mother trembling with anger, Wang Yingnan quickly reached out to support her, then made an excuse, "Okay, I did get the medicine."
However, I just felt their prescription wasn't very good, and maybe replacing it with astragalus would be more effective, so I changed one of the ingredients.
"So, you really did deliberately grab the wrong person?" The old woman trembled even more violently.
"How can this be considered prescribing the wrong medicine? I was just looking out for them, and I didn't even charge them extra."
"you......"
Upon hearing her daughter's explanation, the old woman's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Mom! Mom! What's wrong?"
After calling out several times, I still saw that my mother didn't respond.
Wang Yingnan was terrified.
After the initial panic subsided, she suddenly remembered something, quickly put her mother down on the ground, then turned and ran into the cupboard to retrieve a small porcelain bottle.
"Mom, take a heart-protecting pill quickly."
Wang Yingnan poured out a round pill and immediately put it into her mother's mouth.
Unfortunately, the old woman's jaw was clenched, and she couldn't digest the pill no matter what.
Wang Tao and the others, who were standing nearby, were also stunned by this sudden turn of events.
No one expected that coming to seek justice would result in someone being so angry they fainted.
Judging from the old woman's condition, things didn't look good at all.
If someone actually dies, it will be difficult to handle.
Fortunately, the next moment, Li Yi took a few steps forward and placed his fingers on the old woman's wrist to take her pulse.
"What are you doing? Let go of my mom!"
Wang Yingnan, who was administering the medicine, was furious when she saw Li Yi's actions.
"Your mother has liver yang hyperactivity, phlegm and dampness obstructing the middle jiao, coupled with insufficient qi and blood. She was so angry that her qi and blood were disordered, which is why she fainted. No matter what medicine you give her now, it won't help."
"Pah! My mother has always been perfectly healthy. She's in this state because of you all. None of you are getting away today!"
Seeing that Wang Yingnan not only ignored the advice but also shifted the blame onto himself, he was truly annoying.
However, the old woman is currently barely breathing, and if she doesn't receive timely treatment, her life may be in danger.
Life is at stake.
Li Yi was too lazy to argue with Wang Yingnan anymore. "If you don't want your mother to die, you'd better get out of the way."
"You're the one who's going to die! My mom will be fine."
Seeing that she still wouldn't listen to reason, Li Yi could only turn to Wang Tao and the other two, "Sister Xu, Sister Wang, and Sister Wen, please all three of you work together to pull her away. I need to save her immediately."
"good!"
Xu Yourong and the other two immediately stepped forward and forcibly pulled Wang Yingnan aside.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Although Wang Yingnan was burly and had a lot of fat, she was ultimately no match for four hands.
Just then, Li Yi took out a box of silver needles and was about to stick them into his mother's body.
She immediately struggled with all her might.
It took Wang Tao and the other two almost all their strength to hold the person down.
"Let go! Don't touch my mom!"
"Murder!"
Seeing that she couldn't break free, Wang Yingnan could only wail and howl.
But Li Yi ignored him, picked up a fine needle, and inserted it into the old woman's Fengchi acupoint.
Next, Baihui (GV20), Zusanli (ST36)...
One stitch after another.
Time passed little by little.
A few minutes later.
A soft cough suddenly rang out.
"Cough cough..."
The old woman who had been unconscious on the ground slowly opened her eyes.
She glanced at the silver needles still stuck in her body, then looked at Li Yi in front of her, and instantly understood what was going on.
"Young man, thank you for saving the old woman's life."
Seeing that the other person had woken up, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't need to thank me. After all, this matter is related to us as well."
However, sir, I've only temporarily helped regulate your Qi and blood. Your body is still too weak, so please don't get angry so easily in the future.
The old woman nodded upon hearing this, and then said again, "Thank you."
Wang Yingnan, who was standing nearby, saw that Li Yi had woken up her mother after a few needle pricks.
She froze for a moment, then stopped struggling.
Seeing this, Wang Tao and the others simply let go of the other party.
Wang Yingnan immediately scrambled over, "Mom, are you alright?"
The old woman glanced at her daughter, forcing a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright. That really scared me to death."
Wang Yingnan's face was still streaked with tears, and she finally reached out to wipe them away.
The old woman reached out and patted her head, saying nothing more. Instead, she turned to Li Yi and asked, "Young man, you wrote that prescription before, didn't you?"
"That's right." Li Yi nodded. "I just didn't expect that your daughter would get the wrong medicine and almost harm my friend."
"you......"
Wang Yingnan was about to say something when her mother stopped her.
"We were indeed wrong about this."
As the old woman spoke, she bent her knees and knelt down on the ground.
