"Alas, this injury is too severe! This old man is getting on in years, so his recovery will be slower. Be extra careful tonight. If he develops a fever, wipe his body with warm water. If the fever hasn't subsided by tomorrow morning, come to town to pick me up. During this time, try to keep him lying down as much as possible and avoid any movement. Here is the prescription. Which of you brothers will come with me to get the medicine?"
While treating Huang Banxian's injuries by setting his bones, Dr. Li muttered to himself.
At this moment, Yue Jiuyue appeared.
"Dr. Li, my little girl was frightened today. Could you come and take a look at her? She only told me where it hurt at the beginning, and hasn't said a word since."
When asked anything, she either nodded or shook her head; how could Yue Jiuyue not be worried?
"OK."
Doctors are meant to save lives and heal the wounded; how could he possibly disagree?
"It's nothing serious. The injuries are just bruises from bumps and scrapes. They'll heal in a few days without any problems. She's just been too frightened and might have a fever tonight. I'll prescribe a calming soup and some fever reducer. If she gets a fever tonight, I'll decoct it for her to drink."
Hearing that Dr. Li said Xiaoman'er was alright, Yue Jiuyue finally felt relieved.
They wanted to invite Dr. Li to have dinner at their home, but Dr. Li declined.
It was naturally Lin Chaonan who went to see off Doctor Li. He didn't want to stay and take care of that habitual troublemaker, and besides, he hadn't had enough of playing in the carriage yet!
That's right, I feel a little sorry for this horse that we just bought, it's already run two or three hundred miles!
After escorting Dr. Li back to the town clinic and picking up the medicine, Lin Chaonan drove the carriage home without stopping.
It was already dark, and running around outside would just be feeding the mosquitoes. At least at home, we had some mosquito-repelling herbs burning. Although the smell wasn't pleasant, at least there were no mosquitoes buzzing around biting us, and we slept soundly at night.
Back home, Lin Chaonan tossed the medicine to Lin Chaobei to brew, while he unloaded the carriage and led the horse to the cowshed for the night. The grass it ate was cut by Erhu after he returned in the afternoon, and he also gave it its own wooden bucket for drinking water.
This treatment is truly comparable to that of ordinary people.
Lin Chaobei brewed two doses of medicine: one was a calming medicine for Xiaoman'er, and the other was an anti-inflammatory medicine for Huang Banxian.
The others were all waiting in the main room for Lin Chaonan to come back for dinner.
As for Lin Chaobei, he was the one who brought him back, so naturally he was responsible for him. It's no big deal that he'll have dinner later; it's not like he won't be given food.
"Mother, Xiaoman'er's medicine is ready!"
Lin Chaobei carried a dark, unremarkable earthenware pot into the house, cushioned with coarse linen. He then carefully poured the medicinal soup from the pot into a bowl before quickly leaving.
Huang the fortune teller in the west wing is still waiting to take his medicine!
"Little girl, come on, sip it slowly, and then get a good night's sleep. You'll sleep with me tonight, okay?"
Xiao Man'er had little appetite and only ate a few bites before stopping. Yue Jiuyue didn't know how to coax a child to eat, and seeing that no matter what she said, Xiao Man'er would shake her head and refuse, she had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, Yue Jiuyue didn't have to coax her much to drink the medicine; she obediently frowned and finished it all on her own.
"Ah, open your mouth, and have a piece of candied fruit to sweeten your lips."
Yue Jiuyue popped a candied fruit into Xiaoman'er's mouth.
Candied fruit is one of the delicious treats that Xiaoman mentioned today.
The little girl ate the candied fruit, her eyes crinkling with joy, and she seemed to be feeling a bit better.
