After hearing this, Tian Cai felt a pang of sadness in his heart and couldn't help but reach out and touch Mimi's head.
Qin Ling took off the backpack and handed it to Tian Cai. "This is what he caught today. You can have an extra dish for dinner."
Tian Cai stretched her head to look over. She saw a gray hare with a bloody wound on its neck. She was a little skeptical, "Isn't this enough for it to eat?"
“It’s well fed on the mountain.”
Tian Cai reached out and touched the little guy's belly. It was so round, it looked really big!
Qin Ling picked out some of Mimi's daily life and told her about it, and Tian Cai listened with great interest.
She quickly wrung out the clothes and put them in the basin, then walked towards the village with Qin Ling while talking. Mimi followed Tian Cai closely, fearing that she would run away again.
During the time when Tian Cai was not at home, Mimi would sneak back to sleep at night. During the day, Qin Ling would take it into the mountains to hunt when he had time. When he didn't have time, it would stay at home alone. Occasionally it would be at Qin's house, but most of the time it would be in Tian Cai's yard.
There is a special hole in the fence wall in her backyard, which was previously used for the red panda to enter and exit, and now it is also convenient for Mimi.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Tian Cai said goodbye to Qin Ling and turned into the yard. Mimi followed her in without looking back.
"You little heartless one."
When Tian Cai was walking towards the village with her medicine box on her back, she truly felt what sweet troubles were. The little guy was a little too clingy. He followed her wherever she went, even when she went to see patients.
"You have to be polite when you get to someone else's house, okay?" Tian Cai chased it away twice but failed, so he just let it go and warned it, "Don't just go on other people's kangs, and don't eat anything they give you. You can only ask for my permission, and you can't eat anything they don't give you. If you can't do that, I won't take you next time."
"Ah!"
When Tian Cai arrived, Old Man Zhang was waiting for Tian Cai at home. He was leaning on the kang because of back pain and didn't dare to exert any force. When he saw Tian Cai coming, he greeted him warmly, "Doctor Tian, this is the mountain cat you picked up from the mountain, right? It has grown so big and looks very human!"
Tian Cai glanced at the little guy squatting obediently at the door, then said with a smile, "That's the one. It's almost five months old since I picked it up."
"Oh, it must eat a lot in one meal, right? It's almost as much as one person can eat." The old lady of the Zhang family interrupted.
"It can hunt on its own, so it should have no problem catching a rabbit or a pheasant to feed itself."
When Mrs. Zhang heard that this half-grown kitten could catch pheasants and rabbits, her eyes lit up immediately. She was about to say something when she was interrupted by Old Man Zhang, "Why don't you take a rest after just coming back? I have an old illness. I can wait and see tomorrow."
"If I come a day earlier, you'll feel better a day earlier. Let's try a different treatment today and see how my new acupuncture technique works."
Seeing that he didn't want the old lady to continue talking, Tian Cai didn't take it seriously. He went over and helped him lie on the kang, lifted up the back of his shirt to expose his waist, turned around, opened the medicine box, took out the needle bag and disinfected it carefully.
She pressed on several places, "Does it still hurt in these places?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Doctor Tian, you have a really good memory!" Old man Zhang couldn't help but praise.
Tian Cai went over the acupuncture techniques in her mind before she began to give the needles. She and Doctor Hong had encountered similar illnesses when they went to the countryside, and the effect was obvious after just one acupuncture session. The old lady with back pain who was unable to get up from the kang was able to straighten her back a little after the first acupuncture session, and after the second acupuncture session she was able to walk around.
These old people in the village suffered too much when they were young and did not have the opportunity to rest properly, which made their bodies exhausted. When you ask around in the village, you will find that everyone has back and leg pain.
"Okay, it can be pulled out in twenty minutes." Tian Cai silently calculated the time in his mind, and he also had to deal with various questions from the old man. He should have a watch.
When the time was up, she pulled out the needles from Old Man Zhang one by one, disinfected them again, and put them back into the needle bag. "Okay, you can try to get up, but you have to move slowly."
Old man Zhang straightened up carefully and was just about to get off the kang and put on his shoes slowly as usual, but as soon as he moved, he realized something was wrong.
The dull, aching feeling was gone. He tried bending over again and exclaimed in surprise, "It doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt anymore!"
Old man Zhang walked a few steps and felt only a slight pain in his waist. He was so happy that he started walking around the main hall. "Haha, it doesn't hurt anymore. Doctor Xiaotian, you really have some skills!"
"You still have to pay attention to rest during this period and don't do heavy work. I will give you an injection every three days. I think it will be cured after three to five times." Tian Cai put all the things into the medicine box, gave a few instructions, collected the money, and then left with the medicine box on his back.
The next stop is Carpenter Chen’s house. His house is far from Old Man Zhang’s house and requires crossing most of the village. However, Carpenter Chen’s house is not far from Qin Ling’s house, both are on the west side of the village.
Carpenter Chen's family has four generations living together. The sick child this time is Grandma Chen's great-grandson. The whole family treats him like the apple of their eye, but this child is really well-behaved.
When Tian Cai went there, he happened to see Datou Niang and her children looking at ants in the yard. When she saw Tian Cai coming over with the medicine box on his back, she smiled and said, "Doctor Tian, did you get a haircut?"
Tian Cai couldn't help but touch the hair at the back of her neck. There was a neat break there. She said embarrassedly, "Well, I got lice when I went out, so I had to cut it all off."
"Oh, that's such a pity," Big Head Mother really felt sorry. They all envied Dr. Tian's shiny black hair. "It doesn't matter. You look good with short hair too. It sets off your little face so white."
Tian Cai couldn't help but smile when he heard the compliment. His eyes fell on Datou. The usually lively little boy looked listless and unhappy. He hugged his mother's thigh tightly and asked, "Datou, do you still have a stomachache?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days. I've always been listless and don't want to go out to play. I've been clinging to people all day long." Big Head Lady said a little embarrassedly.
"Children are like this."
Tian Cai squatted beside Datou and asked him, "Datou, do you still remember your aunt?"
Big Head shook his head aggrievedly. After all, he was still too young and was more interested in the big cat squatting on the side. His eyes couldn't help but drift there.
Tian Cai took his little hand and came over to check. While taking his pulse, she asked, "Can you tell me where your stomach hurts?"
Datou looked at his mother and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she was still standing there. He felt it carefully and said, "It hurts here."
"Here, auntie will show you." Tian Cai stretched out her hand and gently pressed on the little boy's belly.
Tears welled up in Datou's eyes and he said, "It hurts!"
