Chapter 235 Live Half a Year Longer

Aunt Wang sighed and said, "Son! Let's go back. Mom's health is already like this. If she could be cured, she would have been cured long ago."

Wang Jin still hadn't recovered from the words "dying person". He was still kneeling on the ground, his whole body exuding a sad breath. Was the thing he had been worried about for so many years about to happen? Was his mother really going to die?

Song Ning felt sorry for her and said to Old Man Xin, "Grandpa, please take a look at Auntie. Even if, even if it really has come to the point where she is beyond help, can you think of a way to make Auntie live more comfortably in her last days?" She could see that Auntie Wang coughed from time to time and must be feeling very uncomfortable. It was okay during the day, but if she coughed like this at night, she might not even be able to get a good sleep.

When Aunt Wang heard Song Ning's proposal, she couldn't help but feel a little excited. She had been tortured by illness for many years, and only she knew the pain. It would be a good thing if she could live without so much pain in her last days.

Old man Xin came up to Song Ning and said unhappily, "Do I owe you a favor or something? You didn't even let me drink to my heart's content, and you just ordered me to do things."

"I don't let you drink too much because I'm afraid it will harm your health!"

"Am I a doctor or are you a doctor? Don't I know whether I will hurt my body or not?"

Song Ning was helpless. Is this the time to discuss this? She compromised quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you from now on. I can drink, but I'm not allowed to get drunk. Is that okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

"Now, can you show it to me?"

"This body has been tortured by illness and is now just an empty shell. All I can do now is to make you less miserable." Old Man Xin turned around and went to the main room. "Come in!"

Wang Jin woke up as if from a dream. If the situation had already reached an irreversible point, being able to reduce the pain of his mother's final days would be the best outcome at the moment.

He quickly stood up, helped Aunt Wang and followed Old Man Xin into the main hall, where Song Ning served them tea.

When Old Man Xin felt Aunt Wang's pulse, no one dared to make a sound, not even to breathe loudly. After a long time, he stopped, and it was just as he thought.

After reading the previous doctor's prescription, Old Man Xin said, "There's nothing wrong with this prescription, but now the medicine won't work, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"If we continue to take this medicine, I'm afraid we won't be able to last more than two months."

Wang Jin's pupils suddenly shrank. There were only two months left...

He asked quickly: "I wonder if there is any way, sir, to delay the death of my mother..." When he said the last sentence, it felt like a blunt knife cutting his flesh, and it was so painful.

Aunt Wang didn't want to see her son suffer like this, so she held his hand and said, "Jin'er, don't be sad. I've been ill for so many years, and this day is bound to come sooner or later. If I wasn't worried about you not getting married, I would have stopped dragging you down a long time ago."

"Mom, I'm your son. Why are you telling your son whether I'm a burden or not?"

Old man Xin stroked his beard and looked at the affectionate mother and son across from him for a while, then he coughed twice and said, "I have two prescriptions here, you can listen to them."

"Old sir, please speak." Wang Jin looked at Old Man Xin seriously, unable to suppress his nervousness and anticipation.

"I can make some adjustments to your original prescription. You can take it home and boil it to relieve the pain of the disease. You may live a little longer than before, but whether you can live longer depends on fate."

"What about the other recipe?"

"Another prescription!" Old Man Xin paused and continued, "It's a strong medicine. It uses poison to nourish the body. After taking it, you will recover to a normal state in a short period of time. But it is highly toxic and will corrode the internal organs. Once the internal organs are completely corroded, the life span will reach the limit."

"This recipe has one advantage, which is that it can allow a dying person to survive for another half a year, and they won't feel any pain when they die. The disadvantage is that their death will be very ugly, and after their life ends, they will turn into a dried corpse at the fastest speed."

As for why they became mummies, Old Man Xin did not explain much. He had already put forward two options, and it was up to them to decide which one to choose.

After hearing this, Wang Jin felt torn. One option was conservative treatment, which could relieve the symptoms, but the life span would still be short.

The other method is too overbearing. Although it can quickly restore people to normal, it also requires a huge price to pay. What is the difference between such a death and a death without a complete body? The only benefit is that you can live for another half a year without pain.

Wang Jin was hesitant and could not make up his mind, but Aunt Wang said firmly: "Old man, I choose the second one."

"mother……"

When Wang Jin was about to speak, Aunt Wang raised her hand to interrupt him, "Don't say anything, I've made up my mind. Every moment of extra life I can live is what I've earned. As for what happens after death, I'm dead anyway, so why should I care about how I die?" Aunt Wang had been ill for so many years that her mentality had long since become very open-minded.

"If I can find you a wife in the next six months, I won't have any regrets." Knowing that she might have another six months to live, Aunt Wang's mood suddenly became cheerful. "Old man, please prescribe the medicine!"

Fortunately, she couldn't persuade her son and couldn't bear to let him down, so she reluctantly came with him to seek medical treatment. Otherwise, she would have really missed the opportunity to live another half a year.

"Have you decided?"

"It's decided. Please prescribe the medicine."

Hang Shuheng silently went to get paper and pen, and Old Man Xin quickly wrote a prescription and handed it to Wang Jin, saying, "Prepare the medicine and send it over. I will prepare it into pills myself. You can come back to pick it up in three days."

"Thank you, old doctor." At this point, Wang Jin had no choice but to keep the prescription. In the next six months, he would make use of his mother's remaining time to fulfill his filial duties.

"No need to thank me, but remember to send me that big jar of wine in your house later." It didn't take much effort for him to take the pulse and prescribe medicine. What he was thinking about was the twenty-year-old wine.

"Don't worry, old sir. I'll get the medicine back in the county and bring the wine to you."

"That's pretty much it."

Because they were in a hurry to get back to the county town to get medicine, Wang Jin and his mother said goodbye and left quickly. After returning to the county town, they hardly stopped. After sending his mother home, they put the jar of wine on the carriage and went to the clinic to get medicine.

The clerk in the clinic was very confused when looking at the prescription. After all, it contained some very strong medicinal ingredients. He confirmed it with Wang Jin repeatedly before finally dispensing the medicine according to the prescription.

After getting the medicine, Wang Jin rushed to Shangtang Village again without stopping and placed the medicinal materials and wine in front of Old Man Xin.
