Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies
Chapter 105: Treatment

Chapter 105: Treatment

Yao Ran was curious and went downstairs to see what happened. Looking outside through the metal door, she saw a man in his twenties supporting an old man in his seventies.

When the man saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Hello, Miss Yao. I'm sorry to disturb you early in the morning. I heard from my grandmother that you are a medical student. Can you help me check on my grandfather?"

Yao Ran looked at the old man's pale face through the bulletproof glass on the metal door and asked, "What happened to your grandfather?"

The man glanced at his grandfather worriedly and then at Yao Ran.

His voice filled with worry when he said, "My grandfather fell in the bathroom this morning. We wanted to take him to the hospital, but we were afraid he wouldn't be able to bear the journey."

While the man was explaining the situation to her, Yao Ran observed the man in front of her. He is tall, has a handsome and gentle face, and is polite to others.

"I heard from my grandmother that you are a medical student and studied Chinese medicine. I want to know if you can help my grandfather."

Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "I know a little bit about acupuncture, but I'm still learning. Are you sure you want me to treat your grandfather?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but when he saw his grandfather's pale face covered with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you can treat my grandfather, Miss."

Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "I can treat your grandfather, but I don't provide medicine. You also need to pay for my services."

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't have much cash with me now. Can I pay with a credit card?"

Yao Ran chuckled and said, "Money is of no use now."

When the man heard this, he fell silent. Hearing his grandfather's painful groans, he clenched his hands. As long as Yao Ran can treat her grandfather, he will try his best to meet her requirements.

After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "What kind of payment do you want?"

Yao Ran has no shortage of food and supplies, but she needs antiques to upgrade her space.

She looked at the man and said, "I know everyone is short of food now, so I won't ask for food as payment. If you have gold or antiques at home, you can use them to pay me."

Hearing this, the man thoughtfully looked at Yao Ran and said, 'The antiques were of little use now, but why would she want them?'

While gold can still be used to buy things from the government, the value is low, and the exchange rate actually uses weight.

People need to exchange two hundred grams of gold for one kilogram of rice. Even if they spend all their gold, they can't buy more than three kilograms of rice. Therefore, most people do not use gold to buy food.

It's really not worth it.

The man thought for a moment and asked, "I have a jade pendant. Can I use it to pay for the treatment?"

After hearing this, the old man grabbed his grandson's arm and said, "Yuanwei, that is your mother's relic. How can you give it to others?"

Quan Yuanwei patted his grandfather's hand gently and said, "Grandfather, I know what I am doing."

Grandpa Quan grabbed his arm tighter and said, "Yuanwei, let's go back. Grandpa is old and has had enough life. Don't waste money treating me."

After hearing this, Quan Yuanwei's eyes turned red, and he swallowed back his sadness.

He smiled at his grandfather and said, "Grandfather, what did you say? You still need to see me get married. You must live for a long time."

After saying that, Quan Yuanwei looked at Yao Ran and said, "Miss, I need to go back to get the jade pendant. Can you treat my grandfather first?"

As soon as Yao Ran heard Grandpa Quan calling the man's name, she knew who he was. Since Yao Ran had a good impression of Grandma Quan, who lived on the 19th floor, she agreed to treat Grandpa Quan first.

Yao Ran didn't let Quan Yuanwei follow them to the 20th floor, so he handed his grandfather over to Yao Ran. Seeing Yao Ran carefully helping his grandfather climb the stairs, Quan Yuanwei turned around and hurried home to get the jade pendant.

When they arrived on the 20th floor, Yao Ran asked Grandpa Quan to wait on the floor while she went home to get the recliner and medicine box. Then she helped Grandpa Quan lie down on the recliner and checked his injuries on his waist and ankle.

For the elderly, a fall can cause minor injuries or major injuries. If they don't get treatment, they may die from internal bleeding or paralysis.

After Yao Ran carefully inspected Grandpa Quan's injuries, she said, "Grandpa Quan, you sprained your ankle and have some bruises. Fortunately, you didn't break any bones."

Hearing this, Grandpa Quan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled at Yao Ran and asked, "Then I don't need any treatment?"

Yao Ran pressed the swollen area a few times to see the extent of the swelling and said, "Just massage the swollen area with medicinal wine and compress it with hot water twice a day. The swelling should go away in three days, but be careful not to put too much weight on the

injured leg."

"Bruises can be rubbed with medicinal wine. I will give you acupuncture treatments to dissolve blood clots and speed the healing of your swelling and bruised injuries."

Grandpa Quan nodded, remembering everything she said. After a moment of silence, he hesitated and said, "That jade pendant..."

Yao Ran knew what he wanted to say and smiled, "Just give me something of similar value."
