Chapter 686: The Tiger Cub Seeks Treatment
ight"Ripples asked softly.The man's brow was furrowed tightly, just about to deny it, when a soft sigh came from beside him, followed by that languid voice again:"Don't deny it just yet. When I mentio...Ripples embraced Tiger Cub and waited for an hour before it was their turn. She immediately handed the wooden sign to the junior apprentice, and then she was ushered into the inner room of the hall.
"Hello, Dr. Hong!"
First, Lian Yi greeted him before gently picking up Hu Zi and placing him on her lap. She extended his little arm so that Dr. Hong could feel his pulse.
"What symptoms"
Before he put two fingers on it, the doctor squinted his eyes and asked.
My youngest brother was born eight months premature as part of a twin pregnancy. He is the only one who survived, but he has some developmental issues. We've been caring for him for three years now, and this year his condition has improved somewhat. I'd like to get your opinion on his current state.
Dr. Hong nodded, closed his eyes, and began to take Tiger Cub's pulse. He felt both his left and right hand, for the full time of a teacup. Only then did he withdraw his hands.
"Good, you've raised him well. His congenital deficiencies have mostly disappeared, and he's now about the same physique as an ordinary child. He is just a little weaker because he was born prematurely. Remember to keep him from getting sick. Every serious illness will weaken his body by a degree."
Ripple nodded, indicating she understood. The doctor's words translated meant that Tiger's immune system was still too weak and couldn't handle much stress. It would be best not to let bacteria enter his body, because every time he got sick, it was like damaging his immune system once more.
"Little girl, have you recorded this Shall I open more medicine"
"No, he's not sick now, so there's no need for medicine. After all, medicine is harmful."
Dr. Hong is very ethical in his practice.
Ripple nodded, then removed the white veil from her face, revealing her right cheek to the doctor.
"My daughter was scalded by boiling water half a year ago, leaving scars on her face. I wonder if they can be repaired"
Seeing Lianyi's face, Hong Daifu immediately became interested. He took her pulse and pressed down on the scar on her right cheek before saying:
"This scar is an old one, and it won't disappear overnight. You can't rush it."
"Doctor, please rest assured. My daughter is mentally prepared to seek treatment if it's possible. If not, that's alright too. I just ask that the medicine you prescribe not be too expensive as our family isn't wealthy."
Ripple smiled and said.
"Well, your attitude is great, that's really helpful for your condition. I'll give you some scar removal cream. Wash your face with clean water before bed, then apply the cream. When you finish it, come back here and I'll prescribe another one for you."
Master Hong took up his brush and began to write the prescription.
"Your ointment is ready today, come pick it up tomorrow, would that be convenient"
"Convenient, thank you Dr. Hong!"
Ripples took the prescription, holding Tiger and went to the counter to pay with five hundred copper coins. After setting a time to pick up the medicine, she left Putuo Pharmacy.
Ripple is doing this to lay the groundwork for future facial scars to heal, otherwise you won't even be seen by a doctor before your face scar disappears, no one will believe it unless you're a god.
When the ripples came out, Hui's mother and Song Dachuan were already getting anxious. Seeing Ripples coming out with a smile, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ripples, how's Tiger doing"
The doctor said that Tiger was raised well, and his deficiencies have been made up for. All that's left is to spend some time making him even stronger and try our best not to let him get sick. After he turns seven, he'll be completely established.
Ripples smiled and explained.
"Amitabha Buddha! May the Buddha protect us, our Huzi has finally come to an end of his suffering!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Mother Hui was overjoyed and tears streamed down her face. She clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens.
For countless nights, she worried that Huzǐ would never wake up. That heart-wrenching fear was something only a mother like her could truly understand.
"Mother, this is a good thing. Tomorrow we're going to the temple to fulfill our vow and ask Buddha to bless Tiger Cub with good health and a bright future."
The ripples handed the cub to Song Dachuan and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Hui Niang's tears.
"Yes! Ripple is right, that makes sense."
Song Dachuan was also very happy, but he was more introverted. He patted his son in his arms and asked with a smile:
"Tiger Cub, what do you want to eat and play today Daddy will buy it for you!"
"Really Father" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Huzi hugged Song Dawan's neck and asked.
"Of course it's true, you can still go to the temple fair tomorrow. Remember to bow to Buddha and ask him to bless you with good health."
"Well, Tiger remembered!"
A big stone fell from the family's heart, and they went to the snack street with joy. They ate fresh wontons, and bought a string of candied haws, a dragonfly toy, and a plush tiger doll for Huzi. They happily returned to the inn, with Huzi’s laughter all the way.
Perhaps tired from playing all day, Huzi's little head grew heavy after sunset. Lian Yi held Huzi and sang him to sleep, taking the opportunity for some daily nurturing. She let Song Dachuan and his wife wash up first.
The ripples gave the little tiger cub a bath, placing the pink and soft cub between the two adults. She then used the excuse of taking a bath to temporarily leave the room.
Because it was summer, the inn offered a public bath to attract customers. Each person only needed five copper coins to bathe once, and everyone was willing to spend that money.
Ripples entered the solitary bathroom, took off her coat, put on the black nightgown inside the package, and then slipped out of the inn. Her destination was Dong Mansion.
When she had chosen an inn before, this one was across the street from Dong Mansion. So in less than a stick of incense, she slipped into Dong Mansion and headed straight for the guest courtyard.
This is also the reason she proposed that the whole family come to Wángshān Town to see the temple fair, she was going to give a big gift to Young Master Yáo.
Within the Dong Mansion, because of the arrival of Young Master Yao, the servants were exceptionally spirited and even more careful, fearing they might not serve the future son-in-law well.
As the original person had lived in Dong Mansion for two years, she easily found her way to the courtyard where she was staying. When she reached the window of the guest room, she just happened to hear someone giving an order:
"Bring a bowl of sobering soup to the young master in the kitchen."
"Yes, my slave will go now."
The door then swung open and a maid in blue, hurried towards the kitchen.
The sound of the man's and Yao Gongzi's voices could still be heard from inside the room.
"Still no word"
"My lord, no! The man who saw the letter was just an ordinary farmer. We have silenced him. We've searched his home and even his brother's house, but found nothing."
"If all the messengers are dead, how can that thing still fly with wings"
Young Master Yao angrily said.
"My subordinates have been instructed to continue searching the mountain for any further clues."
We have limited time here, make haste.
"Yes!"
At that moment, footsteps came from the door, followed by the voice of a maidservant:
"Master, my young mistress invites you to the garden to admire the moon and keep you company as you sober up."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come right over."
In the room, Young Master Yao didn't refuse and readily agreed. Then there were rustling sounds, clearly indicating he was changing his clothes with the help of servants. Lian Ri decisively turned and went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Young Master Yao and Second Miss Dong's maidservants were arguing over a bowl of sobering soup.
"Sir, please allow me to escort you to your room."
"No need, young mistress has already invited the young master to admire the moon and instructed me to bring the wine-warming soup to the garden."
Two sounds, “Slap” and “Ouch,” rang out simultaneously. now beyond repair."It's all my fault! When I met Xiangyi Princess's men at the foot of the mountain, I should have stopped them."Wang Zhenzhen lamented, "At the time, I saw Lianri skillfully deal wit...
