Qingchen ate the red-quality beast crystal that Shen Miao fed him, and his body didn't react for the time being. Shen Miao wasn't disappointed, as she didn't expect Qingchen's body to get better immediately.
But when she returned home that day, her children ran over crying to tell her that Qingchen had fainted.
Shen Miao was startled. She dropped her prey and rushed into the house. On the stone bed, Qing Chen lay pale and unconscious. She reached out to check him; thankfully, he was still breathing.
She composed herself and told her children, "Daddy is alright. You children stay home and watch over him. Mommy will go and call the vet right away."
The babies nodded vigorously.
Shen Miao rushed to fetch Lin Shousheng. The veterinarian was old and couldn't walk fast, so Shen Miao practically carried him there.
"Slow down, slow down, oh my, are you trying to kill this old man with your body?" Lin Shousheng complained as he entered the house.
Shen Miao didn't care about anything else, pushed him to the bedside, and said anxiously, "This is a matter of life and death, please hurry up, sir."
Lin Shou was furious, his beard bristling and eyes bulging, but seeing Qing Chen's expression, he could only suppress his temper and treat the patient.
"Veterinarian, how is Qingchen's health?"
Lin Shousheng glared at her and remained silent for a long time.
Shen Miao panicked and quickly apologized, saying, "I have offended the veterinarian a lot just now, please don't hold it against him."
Seeing this, Lin Shousheng finally spoke up: "It's alright. It's impossible for the body to fully recover. Just continue to take care of it like this in the future."
"Then why did he suddenly faint?" Shen Miao asked with some doubt.
Lin Shousheng said, "His body hasn't fully recovered. Perhaps some reason has triggered the injuries in his body, causing him to faint. Come with me later to get some medicine, brew it for him to drink, and he'll wake up soon."
Hearing Lin Shousheng speak so confidently, Shen Miao felt a little relieved, but soon remembered something and asked, "Veterinarian, can Qingchen eat beast crystals?"
Lin Shousheng looked at her in surprise. "Of course you can, but high-grade beast crystals are hard to obtain. It's not necessary to get one of lower quality."
In other words, Qingchen fainted not because of the red-quality beast crystal she fed her. Shen Miao slowly exhaled.
Then, he humbly asked Lin Shousheng, "You just said that Qingchen's injury needs to be healed. How long will it take for him to recover? Can't he fully recover?"
Shen Miao knew that Qingchen had recovered and was able to stand up again in the later stages of his recovery. If possible, she hoped that Qingchen would recover as soon as possible.
Lin Shousheng shook his head: "What I meant was that I couldn't cure him completely, I could only recuperate. That's because my medical skills are insufficient. If you find someone capable to perform surgery on him, of course he can stand up again."
This capable person probably refers to the shaman of the merfolk.
But the witch doctor came out too late, and Shen Miao pondered other methods.
Perhaps Lin Shousheng can't, but other veterinarians can. Isn't that what Lin Shousheng meant?
Shen Miao took Lin Shousheng home and retrieved the medicine. Qingchen had already woken up and was lying on the bed with a pale face. Several cubs were guarding him like loyal protectors.
Shen Miao glanced at them, but didn't disturb them, and went to the kitchen to brew the medicine.
Qingchen seemed a little down. When she saw Shen Miao bring in the medicine, she didn't react much. She just glanced at her and said listlessly, "Why waste your time?"
Anyway, he's going to die anyway, so what difference does it make whether he drinks or not?
Shen Miao ignored him and said only, "I spent a sheep and a bunch of beast crystals to get this medicine for you. Are you sure you don't want to drink it?"
Qingchen didn't want to drink it, but she couldn't bear to part with it.
Even though Shen Miao is now much more capable and can easily earn beast crystals, and has more food than she can eat, Qing Chen still feels uneasy.
Under Shen Miao's silent gaze, Qingchen finally took the medicine bowl and drank the whole bowl of medicine in one gulp.
Shen Miao took the empty bowl, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she sat down by the stone bed and asked Qing Chen, "Do you know what Lin Shousheng said?"
Qingchen didn't really want to hear it.
Shen Miao didn't let him off the hook, saying slowly and deliberately, "He said your injury is no longer a big problem, and even if you don't get treatment, you can stay in bed for decades."
Upon hearing this, Qingchen's expression changed slightly, and his voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "No, if I continue to be like this, I might as well be dead."
Shen Miao smiled slightly, "I said I wouldn't let you die, and I would heal your legs. So there's another way: find someone to perform the surgery. Lin Shousheng isn't capable enough to do it for you, but I will find someone who can."
She spoke very calmly, but Qingchen's heart felt a little hot.
He gazed at Shen Miao. In this period of time, Shen Miao had changed too much. At first, he was wary of her and observed her, but now, these two emotions were not so obvious.
"Why go to such lengths for a contract?" Qingchen murmured, head down.
Shen Miao didn't hear clearly, but Qing Chen didn't intend to say it a second time, so she gave up and said to Qing Chen with certainty, "You wait, I will find a veterinarian who can completely cure you."
The next day, Shen Miao made a special trip to the animal farm and went to find all the veterinarians to ask if they could perform the surgery. The veterinarians all shook their heads.
They can't perform surgery; that requires a very skilled veterinarian, and it's been many years since such a skilled veterinarian has appeared.
Shen Miao was somewhat disappointed after hearing this. She asked them, gave them a lot of beast crystals, and told them to try it out.
"No, it's not a matter of trying or not. The main problem is that none of us have the technology. If we did, and you gave us so many beast crystals, I don't know how many people would be scrambling to do it," a veterinarian told Shen Miao.
Shen Miao also felt that she had been too hasty, forcing a veterinarian who was not capable of surgery to do this, and the final result was probably not what she wanted to see.
Okay, so it still doesn't work? Where is that merman witch doctor? I wish I could find her sooner.
These past few days, Shen Miao has been thinking about this question every day, to the point that she's become somewhat absent-minded.
Qingchen, on the other hand, remained very calm. When he learned that he needed to have surgery, he already knew that his leg was unlikely to heal, because he had never seen a veterinarian who could perform surgery in his entire life.
Shen Miao's words were just meant to comfort people.
However, even knowing this, he was not as desperate as before.
Shen Miao was absentmindedly cutting meat with a stone knife when she accidentally cut her finger, and blood gushed out. She quickly put her hand in cold water to rinse it.
A faint pain shot through her fingertips. Shen Miao stared at the wisp of blood spreading in the water, and suddenly, a thought exploded in her mind.
Yes, she has healing abilities!
