Chapter 260 If anything happens to Tiger, these two will go crazy!
(Thanks to Baron Wu for casting 2 monthly votes.)
Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian, along with Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing, spent two days and three nights in Sanshan County because of the injury on Huzi's head.
That evening, Li Shiyue led Huzi into the city first and rode straight to the clinic.
It's rare to see a woman who can ride a horse, and in the past year, Li Shiyue always came to this clinic with her mother to buy medicine. The apprentice who was about to go up to the door saw Li Shiyue dismount at the door and immediately recognized her.
Everything that followed fell into place naturally. Li Shiyue found a doctor to examine the injury on the back of Hu Zi's head.
Because Sanshan County is located next to Daheishan Mountain, and there are vast grasslands along the edge of the continuous Daheishan Mountain, which are adjacent to the barbarians, it is not uncommon for barbarians to invade Sanshan County in the past.
Therefore, the doctors in Sanshan County all learned the techniques of bone setting and wound repair from the military doctors in the garrison.
When Li's mother was at home, she applied the wound medicine to Hu Zi. That wound medicine was bought at this clinic, and it was not cheap. A small porcelain bottle cost twelve taels of silver!
It was only because Li's mother was kind and benevolent, and because the Li family had accumulated some wealth because of Li Shiyue, that they would not have been willing to give away such precious medicine powder to outsiders as if it were free.
Because the medicine powder was expensive and it was bought at this clinic, Li's mother thought that it should be able to stop the bleeding from Tiger's head injury.
But after Li Shiyue, with the help of his apprentice, untied the tiger from his back and placed it on the high bed, the cotton quilt covering the tiger was uncovered. Not to mention Li Shiyue with his extraordinary senses, even an ordinary person like the apprentice could smell a very obvious stench of blood.
Li Shiyue's heart skipped a beat. Such a strong smell of blood—could it be that he had lost too much blood and gone into shock?
Tiger is Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing's only child all these years!
If anything happens to Tiger, these two will go crazy!
The doctor frowned and carefully removed the bandage that Li's mother had used to bandage Hu Zi. He looked at the back of Hu Zi's head again and again, and even used the bandage as a pad to press and examine it. After he had a good idea of what was going on, the doctor stood up straight and said to Li Shiyue, "The wound medicine was applied in time. Although it did not completely stop the bleeding, it is still somewhat effective."
It was a lucky coincidence that the cut was made right on a blood vessel. If you had arrived a quarter of an hour later, I don't know if the child could have been saved.
"Alright, Madam Li, you should go outside and wait. I need to sew this wound up; only then can the bleeding stop."
Li Shiyue quickly bowed to the doctor and said, "Thank you for your trouble, doctor!"
After saying this, Li Shiyue took out a silver ingot from his pocket. "This child is a member of my clan. His parents only have him as their son, so we will have to trouble the doctor to take care of him."
Regardless, this silver is my token of gratitude!
Doctor Jin, who had a short beard on his chin, raised an eyebrow at Li Shiyue. After glancing at the silver ingot in Li Shiyue's hand, he smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "Madam Li, you are right. A doctor has a benevolent heart. This child is so young, I will certainly do my best."
After hearing Dr. Jin's words, Li Shiyue placed the silver ingot on the table beside her and turned to leave the room.
When Li Qiutian drove the cart with Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing to the clinic, Hu Zi had already been given medicine and fallen into a deep sleep.
Wang Xiangxing ran in and saw Hu Zi with a white towel wrapped around his head on the high bed. Tears instantly streamed down her face.
Upon seeing her like this, Li Shiyue quickly walked over and pulled Wang Xiangxing to a stop at the door.
She whispered to Wang Xiangxing, "Don't make a sound, Hu Zi just drank his medicine and fell asleep."
Wang Xiangxing covered her mouth and nodded to Li Shiyue, her eyes conveying that she understood, that she would be obedient, that she wouldn't cry, and that she wouldn't disturb Hu Zi or wake him up again.
Li Wangjin strode in at this moment. Li Shiyue took a deep breath and could only think to herself, "Do things thoroughly."
She nodded to Li Qiutian behind Li Wangjin, then took Wang Xiangxing's hand with her left hand and took two steps over. With her right hand, she grabbed Li Wangjin who was coming this way and dragged the two of them to the front of the clinic. Doctor Jin personally stitched up Hu Zi's wound, reapplied the medicine and bandaged it. He watched the apprentice feed Hu Zi the soup medicine before leaving and going to the clinic in front.
Li Qiutian received Li Shiyue's message. She stamped her feet outside, then went inside. At the door, she took off her outer garment before going to the high bed.
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the room, so the temperature wasn't too low. At least for Li Qiutian, taking off an outer garment was still bearable.
The glance Li Shiyue gave and the nod Li Qiutian made just now meant that Li Qiutian was to come in and take care of Hu Zi.
At the front of the clinic, Doctor Jin put down his pharmacopoeia and slowly and carefully explained Hu Zi's injuries to Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing, Hu Zi's biological parents.
"...Coincidentally, the wound is right on that vein...The medicine was applied...We arrived just in time. If it had been a quarter of an hour later, it would have been hard to say whether the child could have been saved."
"...As long as he doesn't develop a high fever tonight, he'll be spared."
Dr. Jin's words left Li Wangjin and Wang Xiangxing stunned. The two of them were trembling all over. They were just a moment away from losing their only child!
Wang Xiangxing was finally shaken. Suddenly, she sat down on the ground and started sobbing.
Dr. Jin had seen this kind of thing many times before. He raised his hand and waved to Li Shiyue, saying, "I'll be right here tonight. If the child gets a fever in the middle of the night, just come and call me."
After Li Shiyue nodded, she quickly pulled Wang Xiangxing up and helped her walk out. After taking two steps, she turned around and called out to Li Wangjin, who was still standing there in a daze, "Uncle Wangjin!"
Her shout finally woke Li Wangjin up. Li Wangjin turned around and looked at Li Shiyue, who was supporting the unsteady Wang Xiangxing with one hand. "Hey! Hey! Shiyue, Shiyue, thank you so much!"
If it weren't for you, Tiger, Tiger... Tiger might not even be alive...
Tiger was lucky; he didn't develop a high fever that night. Following Doctor Jin's advice, Li Shiyue and the others stayed at the clinic for two more nights.
After hearing from Dr. Jin that Tiger's wound should not reopen, the group took about ten packets of medicine and slowly drove back to Liujiatun.
Sitting on the cart, wrapped in a quilt and held in Li Wangjin's arms, Hu Zi fell into a deep sleep amidst the clatter of horses' hooves.
Although Li Wangjin, who was holding Huzi, looked a bit haggard, his eyes were bright and he seemed to still have a strong spirit. However, he was thinking about something important.
