Chapter 686: Hu Zi Sees a Doctor
Lianyi held Hu Zi and waited for an hour before it was their turn. She immediately handed the wooden number tag to the little medicine boy who was helping her, and then she was invited into the inner room.
"Hello, Dr. Hong!"
Lianyi greeted them first, then held Hu Zi and sat him on her lap, and asked Hu Zi to stretch out his little arm so that Doctor Hong could feel his pulse.
"What are the symptoms?"
Dr. Hong asked with narrowed eyes before placing two fingers on it.
"My brother was born eight months premature. Because my mother was pregnant with twins, only this brother survived, but he has a deficiency. He has been taken care of for three years. His condition has improved a little this year. Please take a look."
Doctor Hong nodded, closed his eyes and began to feel Hu Zi's pulse. He felt his left hand and then his right hand. It took a full cup of tea before he withdrew his hands.
"Yes, you have taken good care of him. The child's deficiencies have basically disappeared. He is now similar to an ordinary child in physical condition. It's just that he was born prematurely, so his body is still a little weaker. Remember not to let him get sick. Every time he gets seriously ill, his health will deteriorate by one point."
Lianyi nodded to show that she understood. What the doctor said meant that Hu Zi's immunity was still too weak and he couldn't withstand the damage. It was best not to let the bacteria invade, otherwise every time he got sick, it would damage his immune system.
"I've made a note of it. Do you want me to prescribe some more medicine?"
"No, he's not sick right now, why would you prescribe medicine for him? Medicine is always poisonous."
Doctor Hong has great medical ethics.
Lianyi nodded, then removed the white gauze on her face and showed the right side of her face to the doctor.
"My daughter was scalded by boiling water half a year ago, leaving a scar on her face. Can it be repaired?"
When Doctor Hong saw Lianyi's face, he immediately became interested. He felt her pulse and pressed the scar on her right cheek before saying:
"Your scar is an old one. It will take more than one or two days to remove it. You can't be impatient."
"Don't worry, doctor. I'm prepared. If I can get treatment, I'll go. If I can't, that's fine. But the medicine you prescribe shouldn't be too expensive. Our family is not well off."
Ripple said with a smile.
"Well, your attitude is very good. This will be very helpful for your condition. I will prescribe you an ointment to remove scars. Wash your face with clean water before going to bed, and then apply the ointment. When you have used it up, come back to me for another prescription."
Doctor Hong picked up the brush and began to write the prescription.
"Your ointment will be prepared today. Can I pick it up tomorrow? Is that convenient?"
"That's convenient. Thank you, Dr. Hong!"
Lianyi took the prescription, carried Hu Zi to the counter and paid five hundred copper coins, agreed on a time to pick up the medicine, and left Pujitang.
Lianyi did this to pave the way for the scars on her face to heal in the future. Otherwise, if the scars on your face disappeared without even seeing a doctor, no one would believe it, unless you were a god.
When Lianyi came out, Hui Niang and Song Dachuan were already getting a little anxious. When they saw Lianyi coming out with a smile on her face, they inexplicably felt relieved.
"Lianyi, how is Hu Zi doing?"
"The doctor said that Hu Zi has been well taken care of by us, and his deficiencies have been made up. What's left is to spend some time to replenish Hu Zi and try not to let him get sick. After he turns seven, he will be able to stand up completely."
Ripple explained with a smile.
"Amitabha! Buddha bless us, our Hu Zi has finally come to an end of his suffering!"
Hui Niang cried with joy and clasped her hands together and prayed to God.
She didn't know how many nights she had worried that Hu Zi would not wake up. Only she, as a mother, knew that feeling of fear.
"Mom, this is a good thing. We can go to the temple tomorrow to fulfill our wish and ask the Buddha to bless Huzi with good health and a bright future."
Lianyi handed Hu Zi to Song Dachuan and took out a handkerchief to wipe Hui Niang's tears.
"Yes! Lianyi is right, that's the truth."
Song Dachuan was also very happy, but he was more reserved. He shook his son in his arms and asked with a smile:
"Huzi, whatever you want to eat or play today, daddy will buy it for you!"
"Really? Dad?"
Hu Zi asked while hugging Song Dachuan's neck.
"Of course it's true. You can still go to the temple fair tomorrow. You must remember to kowtow to the Buddha and ask him to bless you with better health."
"Well, Hu Zi has made a note of it!"
The family felt relieved and happily went to the stalls in the snack street to eat fresh wontons. They also bought a string of candied haws, a bamboo dragonfly and a stuffed tiger for Hu Zi. They returned to the inn happily, and Hu Zi's laughter filled the whole way.
Maybe he was tired from playing during the day, so Hu Zi's little head started to nod after dark. Lianyi held Hu Zi and coaxed him to sleep, while also taking care of him for today, and asked Song Dachuan and his wife to wash up first.
Lianyi also gave Hu Zi a bath and placed the pink and tender little Hu Zi between the couple. Then she left the room temporarily, using the excuse of taking a bath.
Because it was summer, the inn provided a public bathing area in order to attract guests. Each person could take a bath for only five copper coins, and everyone was willing to spend the money.
Lianyi went into a separate bathroom, took off her coat, put on the black nightgown in her package, and then left the inn, heading for Dong's Mansion.
When she chose the inn, she picked this one which was across the street from the Dong Mansion, so in less than an incense stick of time, she had climbed into the Dong Mansion and went straight to the guest house of the Dong Mansion.
This was also the reason why she suggested that the family come to Wangshan Town to watch the temple fair. She wanted to give a big gift to Mr. Yao.
Because of the arrival of Young Master Yao, the servants in the Dong Mansion were extra alert and cautious, fearing that they would not be able to serve the future son-in-law well enough.
After all, the original body had stayed in Dong's house for two years, so she found the guest courtyard with ease. When she touched the bottom of the guest room window, she heard someone say:
"Go to the kitchen and bring the young master a bowl of sobering soup."
"Yes, I will go right away."
Then the door was opened, and a maid in a blue maid's uniform hurried towards the kitchen.
The voice of the man and Young Master Yao talking could be heard from the room.
"Still no news?"
"Sir, no! The person who saw the letter was an ordinary farmer. We have already killed him. We have also searched his home and even the home of the elder brother who separated from us, but we have found nothing."
"The people who delivered the letter are dead, so how can that thing still grow wings and fly?"
Master Yao said angrily.
"I have already ordered people to continue searching in that mountain to see if they can find any other clues."
"We only have a limited time here, so you better be quick."
"yes!"
At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door, followed by a maid's voice:
"Sir, my lady invites you to the garden to enjoy the moon and to accompany you to sober up."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come over."
Young Master Yao in the room did not refuse and agreed directly. Then there was a rustling sound, and it was obvious that he was changing clothes with the help of the servants. Lianyi decisively turned around and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Master Yao and Miss Dong's personal maid were arguing over a bowl of sobering soup.
"The Master asked me to take him to his room."
"No need. My lady has already invited you to enjoy the moon and asked me to bring the hangover soup to the garden."
"Snap" and "Ouch" two sounds rang out at the same time.
