Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 11 Grandma Li’s expired medicine

When Zhu Biao heard the sound coming from above his head, he suddenly became suspicious.

Is there someone hiding around talking?

Zhu Biao raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see anyone hiding around.

As a prince-sized tomb, except for four civil and military stone figures, and six symmetrical stone tigers, stone sheep, and stone horses, totaling ten solid stone statues, it can be said that it is completely empty within a radius of 100 steps. Nothing superfluous.

There are no trees on the tomb, so it is impossible for someone to be hiding and talking on it.

When Zhu Biao also circled around the tombstone, he finally realized that this did not seem to be a cover-up trick by some quacks as he had thought before.

"Is it really Ying'er?"

Zhu Biao's eyes widened in disbelief.

He never dreamed that everything Zhu Yuanzhang said before, everything he thought was impossible, turned out to be true!

"Yes, it's Ying'er."

Looking at the shocked Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to argue with him about his previous disbelief in him. He just signaled him to be silent and pointed him to a place.

Zhu Biao looked in the direction of Zhu Yuanzhang's finger, and just now he saw that under the moonlight, there was a hole that swallowed the light. It seemed that the sound came from there.

After witnessing this magical scene with his own eyes, Zhu Biao's worldview shattered to the ground with a "bang".

He has received traditional Confucian education since he was a child. The so-called "the son has no words, strange power and chaos". In the past, Zhu Biao would not think about these things at all.

What he saw tonight really shocked him!
Ying'er can actually communicate with you over there!
When Zhu Biao witnessed all this with his own eyes and heard the sound with his own ears, his emotions now can be said to be extremely complicated.

Zhu Biao felt both the embarrassment of wrongly blaming his father before and the instinctive panic when faced with this mysterious scene. In addition to these emotions, when he thought of his mother on the sick bed, Zhu Biao felt a glimmer of hope. If Ying'er appeared, Then maybe there really is a way to save the queen mother!
However, a long time passed after the words were spoken, but no medicine appeared in front of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang's newly rekindled hope gradually extinguished.

"We haven't received anything. Could it be that the other end can't send something to this end?"

Suddenly at this time, another voice came.

"Grandpa, wait a minute!"

Hearing this voice, Zhu Biao also tentatively called out: "Ying'er?"

However, there was no response.

Zhu Biao felt a little sad. Could it be that Ying'er wouldn't forgive herself even when she got there?
He felt very sad and felt that he was not a qualified father because he had been busy with government affairs and neglected his son. So when Ying'er fell ill, he thought it was a minor illness, which eventually led to tragedy.

------

Zhu Xiongying simply didn't hear it.

This time, the size of the mysterious vortex, just by visual inspection, can be seen to be obviously larger than the first time, already half the size of a fist.

Zhu Xiongying took out a tissue from his pocket at the beginning, tied it to a branch, and then handed it over. The tissue touched the sharp corner of the mysterious vortex and disappeared in an instant.

Zhu Xiongying came to the conclusion that this thing must not be touched with body parts at the moment.

The boxes of medicine he threw in must have been in the whirlpool when he threw them, and they were not scratched by the edges and disappeared. However, if they were not received on the other side, there is only one possibility, which is that the medicines were lost during the transmission process.

When the medicine transmission is gone, there are two possibilities. The first is that the vortex transmission is unstable. Maybe ten boxes of medicine are thrown in, and only one box can pass; the second is that the vortex changes the time attribute of the medicine.

Zhu Xiongying felt that the first possibility was possible, but it was really unlikely. He had thrown in several boxes of medicine. How lucky was he to not receive even one box?
Therefore, the most likely possibility is the second situation, that is, the time attribute of the drug has been changed.

So have drugs aged with the passage of time, or have they become newer with the passage of time?
Referring to the treasure banknotes that grandpa brought to him through the whirlpool, they must be new in his hands, but in his hands, they have already aged naturally. When they were sold, the appraisers thought they were passed down from the Ming Dynasty. thing.

Even if the medicines age, it would be difficult to retain them if there are capsules and plastic tablets.

Therefore, Zhu Xiongying speculated that the most likely possibility is that sending things from his side to his grandfather's Ming time and space will cause the time attributes of the items to go back!
So once the medicine is thrown in, it is directly restored to the state it was in before it appeared, which is nothingness.

But there is still a troublesome question. If the hypothesis is true, when can we go back in time?
The Ming Dynasty was established in 1368 and fell in 1644, so the time on my grandfather's side ranges from more than years ago to more than years ago. Although my grandfather did not say which dynasty he traveled to, considering that he used Hongwu treasure banknotes, , so it is most likely in the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Dynasty or Yongle Dynasty. The problem is that treasure notes can age for hundreds of years, but it is impossible for Zhu Xiongying to find medicines from hundreds of years ago!

Therefore, if it is an equal proportion of time retrieval, then whatever medicine he finds will be useless, and it will be nothing if he sends it in.

But Zhu Xiongying had to look for it. After all, his grandfather traveled to the Ming Dynasty and was still worried about whether he had enough money to spend. If he didn't find medicine for his grandfather because he thought it was troublesome, and his new wife died of illness, that would be too unfilial!
Therefore, Zhu Xiongying went off to look for expired medicine on his bicycle. He didn't hear Zhu Biao's words at all.

And because the time flow rate of the two sides is not consistent, for Daming, it is night, but for Zhu Xiongying on the other end, it is morning.

------

At this time, in the corner of the town, there is another old faculty dormitory building that has been eroded by time.

The early morning sunlight shines through the sparse leaves in front of the building and shines mottledly on Zhu Xiongying's young and handsome face. He has just sprinted several kilometers on a bicycle, and there are still beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

He parked the green Giant bicycle skillfully downstairs, kicked and locked it in one go, and then Zhu Xiongying stepped up the stairs in a hurry.

He is very familiar with this place because he often played here when he was a child. There are too many memories and stories that happened here.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there is a hollow door with half-fallen Spring Festival couplets on both sides. The curtain behind the door sways gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Zhu Xiongying stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, and knocked gently.

"Who is it?" A slightly older voice came from the door, it was Grandma Li.

"It's me! Xiongying!" Zhu Xiongying shouted loudly.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?"

"You are deaf!"

"Oh, yes, I'm deaf."

Zhu Xiongying suddenly remembered a piece of news. There was an Alzheimer's patient who forgot that he was blind, so he partially recovered his vision.
The door opened slowly. There was a hint of confusion in Grandma Li's voice, but her eyes looking at Zhu Xiongying were filled with unspeakable kindness.

"Xiongying, did you go to elementary school this year?" she asked cheerfully, her memory seemed to still be stuck in the time when Zhu Xiongying was a little boy many years ago.

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, then gently corrected him: "Grandma Li, I'm already in college."

"Which elementary school did you go to? You're not that tall yet." Grandma Li didn't seem to hear what he said clearly, she was still immersed in her own world.

Zhu Xiongying looked at her, with complex emotions welling up in his heart. Grandma Li suffered from Alzheimer's disease, commonly known as Alzheimer's disease. For her, her memory had already become blurred.

He no longer tried to explain, but asked directly: "Grandma Li, can I go in and borrow some medicine?"

There was a hint of urgency in Zhu Xiongying's voice.

Grandma Li hesitated for a moment, seeming to be thinking hard about something, then she nodded and let the door open.

"come in."

Zhu Xiongying walked into the house and glanced at the old furniture inadvertently. Since her wife died, Grandma Li has been living here alone, guarding this house full of memories alone.

Grandma Li walked slowly to the closet and took out a box wrapped in newspaper. She carefully opened the covered newspaper to reveal a pile of expired medicine bottles inside.

"I can't afford these medicines. I'm in good health. I'll lend them to you first." She pointed to the box on the ground with a kind smile on her face.

It's not that she couldn't take these medicines, but that she was confused and couldn't bear to take them, so she left them alone and they all expired.

Zhu Xiongying knelt down to check the box, and a warm current surged in his heart. Although Grandma Li was confused, she was still kind-hearted. The fact that she could lend herself these medicines that she was reluctant to take was enough to show her trust in herself.

After Zhu Xiongying found expired antibiotics, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory drugs, he wrapped them in newspapers, put them in his backpack, and ran downstairs.

At this time, Grandma Li suddenly poked her head out from the balcony and shouted to him seriously.

"You can borrow it, but you have to pay it back! I'll remember it!"
