Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

At that moment, Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter was feeding her great-grandfather water. She glanced at the door, then at Grandpa Zhou, and asked, "Grandpa, what do we do now?"

Old Zhou glanced at the door and said, "Finish feeding the medicine first!"

"Oh—" Grandma Zhou obediently continued feeding him water.

"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" Old Zhou called out to the door.

"I have to say, you guys are really carefree. Didn't you say you were going to die suddenly? Why are you still dawdling like that!"

The nurse couldn't stand it any longer and rushed into the room, only to see Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter feeding him medicine.

"What are you doing? Why are you feeding the patient like this? This is ridiculous!"

The nurse reached for the cup in Grandpa Zhou's hand, but Ye Chen stopped her.

"I know you're anxious, but please don't worry, the patient is fine now!" Ye Chen said calmly.

The female nurse was stopped by Ye Chen and was indeed very anxious; she was even about to start cursing.

"Get out of the way! Will you take responsibility if something happens?!"

"Nothing will go wrong, the patient is awake!" Ye Chen nodded.

"That won't work either..." The nurse's voice gradually faded.

Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter quickly fed him the medicine, mainly because the old man cooperated very well, which made the feeding go smoothly.

I've never been this cooperative during meals!

The doctor outside also entered, and everyone's eyes were focused on the old man.

At this moment, the old man was sitting on the bed with his upper body bare and his hands being helped by others.

Aside from being a bit thin, he seemed to have a good amount of energy and spirit.

The old man coughed every now and then, spat a few mouthfuls of phlegm into the nearby trash can, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Phew, that feels good!"

Ye Chen walked up to the old man and quickly took his pulse, which seemed quite normal.

Once you take the medicine, even if you are really sick, you should be cured!

"Grandpa, relax, I'm going to remove the needles now!" Ye Chen said, starting to remove the needles.

"Young man, thank you for your hard work. You saved this old man's life!" The old man stared at Ye Chen with burning eyes!

"I guess it's fate!" Ye Chen smiled faintly.

As the last silver needle was removed, a familiar system notification sounded in Ye Chen's mind.

[Ding— The system detected that the host skillfully used the Nine Forms of Mystic Needles to perform an emergency rescue, saving a critically ill patient and triggering a hidden reward: one Marrow Cleansing Pill and one Detoxifying Pill. Would you like to claim them immediately?]

Ye Chen was slightly delighted. Oh ho, the reward has arrived!

Another Bone-Cleansing Pill in hand!

But what exactly is this "poison-repelling pill"? It's another term Ye Chen has never heard of.

Was it his literal understanding?

Ye Chen quietly checked the system panel.

[Detoxification Pill, after taking it, you will be immune to all poisons!]

His eyes lit up when he saw the words "immune to all poisons".

This is good stuff!

Does that mean we won't have to worry about secondhand smoke and exhaust fumes anymore?

The old man got up and stretched his body a few times, then looked at the crowd: "What are you all doing here? I'm fine now, please go outside, it's too crowded!"

The medical staff looked at each other, bewildered...

Did they make a wasted trip?

"Great-Grandpa, why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up and observe for a few more days?" Grandpa Zhou's granddaughter said with concern.

The others nodded in agreement.

This incident terrified everyone.

Of course, whether everyone is worried is unknown.

Anyway, Old Zhou was very worried; his hands trembled slightly throughout the whole process.

"Dad, Weiwei is right, you really scared me to death just now!" Old Zhou also chimed in to comfort him.

The Zhou family was overjoyed that the old man could wake up again.

They were amazed by Ye Chen's superb acupuncture skills, which actually brought a person who had just died back to "life".

However, data from professional instruments is always more reassuring, so it's best to check it again.

"No need, I know my own body!" The old man waved his hand, firmly refusing to go to the hospital.

Just as Mr. Zhou said before.

The Zhou family members looked at each other, clearly having no good solutions for the old man.

The nurse who entered first said, "Sir, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination; that would be the safest course of action!"

"Checkup? Checkup what? How many checkups can my body withstand? Last year when I had diarrhea, you guys drew blood and did all sorts of tests. After half a day of tests, I almost pooped in my pants, and what was the result? You told me it was inflammation, that's it?"

The old man looked sharply at the medical staff.

"After spending seven or eight hundred yuan on a series of tests, the doctor came to a conclusion with just two words: 'Inflammation'!"

"Don't people usually follow the proper diagnostic methods of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation? I gave him my report, and he only glanced at it before prescribing medicine. It was incredibly fast, like an assembly line!"

"The medication didn't help; I had diarrhea for another three days. I went for a series of tests, and they said the inflammation hadn't cleared up and my gut flora was imbalanced, so they wanted me to have a colonoscopy!"

"I have diarrhea, how could I not know it's inflammation? I want the result, not to go through a whole series of tests!"

"In the end, it was a doctor from a small clinic who prescribed medicine and cured me!"

"Tell me, why would I go to the hospital? Huh? Do I have to suffer for no reason?"

The old man's sharp gaze swept across the entire room.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

Old Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't try to persuade him anymore. Nowadays, things are indeed done in a standardized and procedural way, which has its advantages and disadvantages.

One of the medical staff members finally offered a few words of explanation:

"Sir, the skill levels of doctors vary from hospital to hospital, and there are indeed doctors who follow procedures blindly. However, it's undeniable that there are also excellent doctors. We can arrange an appointment for you with a specialist!"

The old man waved his hand: "No need for that trouble. I feel perfectly fine now. I don't want them to find something wrong with me later, that would be a real hassle!"

The medical staff were quite helpless; dealing with such an unreasonable old man was very troublesome.

They have their own set of logic in their minds, and it's very difficult to persuade them.

In the end, Mr. Zhou could only personally and amicably see the medical staff off.

After the medical staff left, the old man looked at Ye Chen with a smile and asked, "My little benefactor, what's your name?"

"Young Ye Chen! It was just what I could do. Anyone with a bit of medical knowledge who was there would probably have tried to provide first aid!" Ye Chen said modestly.

Although the old man was frail, he still possessed a remarkable aura.

He's probably a veteran.

"Ye Chen! Not bad, a good name. The protagonist of a novel I've been reading recently is also named Ye Chen. You're just as capable as him!" The old man said, taking out his phone to share with Ye Chen.

"Oh, hehehe, the old man has quite the refined taste, actually reading novels!"

"Hey, what's the big deal? You don't think I'm just drinking tea and reading newspapers at my age, do you? Old people have to keep up with the times. I went to a senior university. Let's add each other as friends!"

As he spoke, the old man opened the scanner!

Uh......

With mixed feelings, Ye Chen took out his phone and added the old man as a friend!

The old man's WeChat name is "Young Veteran"!
