Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"My grandma doesn't remember me."

Cao Jianjia's eyes reddened after she finished speaking.

Chen Huo was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He already had a guess in mind, and tentatively asked, "Alzheimer's disease?"

"Um."

Cao Jianjia nodded, tears streaming down her face.

Upon receiving confirmation, Chen Huo frowned.

Alzheimer's disease is a common term.

Western medicine calls it Alzheimer's disease.

From a Western medical perspective, this is caused by pathological products such as the deposition of amyloid plaques (Aβ) in the brain, and there is currently no cure in modern medicine.

It can only provide temporary relief.

Moreover, the effect was minimal.

Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "dullness disease," believing that its main location is in the brain and is closely related to the dysfunction of multiple organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys.

The root cause is deficiency of kidney essence and insufficient marrow, resulting in insufficient qi and blood and malnourishment of the mind and spirit, which induces phlegm and turbidity to obstruct the orifices and blood stasis to block the collaterals. There is currently no way to cure it.

of course.

This only applies to ordinary traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

For Chen Huo, this illness is not a problem.

Ultimately, this disease is caused by organ failure due to old age and physical decline.

The disease can be cured by stimulating organ activity and clearing blood stasis and obstruction.

The body-tempering pills he carried with him could improve the elderly's physical condition and organ activity, allowing them to live a clear-headed and dignified life until the day they die peacefully in their old age.

Chen Huo did not immediately claim that he could cure the disease.

We need to understand the patient's condition first.

"That's a real shame. There's nothing we can do about it. That's just how it is when people get old. By the way, how old is she now?"

"98 years old."

"You're so old... how come you look so young? Did your parents get married late?" Chen Huo was a little surprised. At ninety-eight years old, his granddaughter should normally be around thirty.

Unless both generations marry and have children late.

"I was picked up by my grandmother, and she never married," Cao Jianjia said sadly.

"I'm sorry," Chen Huo said, looking at her with some heartache. This kind of thing would be hard for anyone to bear.

Cao Jianjia took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Next, Chen Huo inquired about her grandmother's condition.

A year ago, her grandmother began to forget people and things frequently. Six months later, it became more serious. She was in a daze most of the time, and a month ago she completely fell into a state of dementia.

For this reason, Cao Jianjia once went out of the mountains to treat her grandmother. The Western medicine she bought was somewhat effective at first, but it stopped working later.

I've also tried traditional Chinese medicine.

Unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever.

Cao Jianjia's trip was to collect wild herbs to brew for her grandmother. Although they were not very useful, they were at least something to remember her by, and she couldn't just abandon her.

About an hour later, Chen Huo finally saw a settlement. Just as Cao Jianjia had said, it was indeed a village, with all the houses made of wood.

Their lifestyle is somewhat primitive.

However, they haven't completely escaped modern society. Many homes have solar panels on their roofs and electric lights inside, though it's somewhat dim.

"Who are you?!"

"Jianjia, why did you bring an outsider?"

There were two people guarding the entrance to the village. When they saw Chen Huo, they questioned him loudly, with a hint of hostility in their voices. They were also rude to Cao Jianjia.

Chen Huo was somewhat puzzled.

It's normal for them to be hostile towards you, after all, you're an outsider.

But why was he so rude to Cao Jianjia?

Logically speaking, a beautiful woman like Cao Jianjia should be treated with great courtesy by these two middle-aged men in their prime.

This is a man's nature.

But soon, Chen Huo understood what was going on.

Cao Jianjia explained that Chen Huo was a lost person she met on the road who was also injured, so she brought him back to rest for the night and promised not to disturb the people in the village.

The two men began to criticize her.

"Why are you running around all day instead of keeping a proper eye on your grandma? She tore down our woodshed today! I said a few words to her, and she almost beat me to death!"

"Exactly! She even urinated and defecated anywhere in the village today. What kind of behavior is this? With this disease, you should lock her up!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo sighed inwardly.

He understood the two men.

Anyone who has cared for an elderly person with Alzheimer's disease knows how torturous this condition is. If family members can endure it, why should outsiders?

Moreover, the other party is a third-level Emperor Realm expert.

How dangerous?

Those who are weak are too afraid to even intervene.

Cao Jianjia was a reasonable person and had no resentment towards the two of them. She kept bowing and apologizing. After the two of them calmed down, they also sighed repeatedly.

"Jianjia, it's not that we can't tolerate your grandmother, but you know how difficult she is to deal with now, and she's so powerful that everyone has to avoid her."

"Yes, I know you're very filial, but this can't go on forever. Why don't you lock her up and seal her meridians? That way, everyone will feel better."

Cao Jianjia managed to remain composed when she heard what the man in front of her said, but when she heard that her grandmother was to be locked up, tears started streaming down her face again.

Clearly, Cao Jianjia was reluctant to part with her.

She didn't give a clear answer, and could only keep bowing and apologizing. Seeing this, the two men were helpless, and finally one of them said fiercely:

"Jianjia, I hope you can deal with your grandmother's matter quickly. If this continues, we won't be so polite. Our lives are already being severely disrupted!"

"At worst, I'll take Grandma and leave the village!" Cao Jianjia said with a hint of defiance. In fact, she had done it before, but her grandmother had stayed in this place for too long and wouldn't go with her.

After saying that, Cao Jianjia quickly walked towards the village.

The two men were still criticizing her for being selfish and immature.

Chen Huo followed silently behind.

Soon he saw an old woman with white hair sitting in front of a dilapidated wooden house, her hair disheveled, talking to herself.

Her clothes were clean, as were her face, hands, and feet, clearly indicating that Cao Jianjia had taken good care of her; however, her mental state seemed somewhat off.

"grandmother!"

Cao Jianjia cried out, her eyes filled with tears.

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

The old woman looked up at Cao Jianjia, her face full of confusion: "But I don't recognize you. Are you calling someone else?"

As she spoke, the old woman looked around to see if anyone else was there.

"Grandma, I'm your granddaughter Jianjia!"

Cao Jianjia called out, put down her bamboo basket, and went forward to help the old woman.

"granddaughter?"

The old woman paused for a moment, then clapped her hands and jumped up and down, exclaiming, "I have a granddaughter! I have a granddaughter! What a beautiful granddaughter!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Huo.

"Is this my granddaughter-in-law? Oh wait, what is it again?"

The old woman scratched her head, momentarily unable to think of the right words. After a pause, she clapped her hands and said, "I know! He's your man, isn't he? He's so handsome, a perfect match for you!"

Cao Jianjia was about to explain herself.

Then the old woman broke free from her and happily ran into the house.

"How can I meet my future grandson-in-law without a gift? Grandson-in-law, just you wait! I've already prepared a gift for you!"
