After a long while.
rely returning the intestines back into the abdon, then using needle and thread to fix and stitch up the child's belly, was this really enough to save the child?!
"Co in."
Shao He did not attend to his astonishnt but simply moved the screen aside with her hand.
"My child!"
The woman rushed into the small room in a hurry.
Her steps were sowhat faltering, but upon seeing her child with the abdon stitched up, her legs softened, and she suddenly fell to her knees!
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Doctor!" She cried tears of joy, kowtowing several tis forcefully, until her forehead was bleeding from the impact.
"There's no need for such formalities."
Shao He cradled the child in her arms while helping the woman to her feet with the other hand.
"Though the child has been saved, he still needs to remain here for observation."
"Yes! Yes!" The woman nodded hurriedly and, trembling, took a pouch of copper coins from her bosom, "This is the fee for the consultation, please Miss, you must accept it."
"Hmm." Shao He, without ceremony, took the consultation fee and tossed it into the man's embrace.
The man subconsciously caught the fee, yet was sowhat perplexed, "The child was saved by Miss, the consultation fee should be for..."
"Keep it." Before the man could finish speaking, Shao He interrupted with a cold voice.
"This money is to thank you for taking in and my child last night, and the remainder is for you to acquire so dicinal herbs for this child." After saying this, she looked around until she spotted a small cabinet in the corner with ink brushes and paper, then stepped forward, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to the man.
"Use the money to obtain these dicines. Although the child is no longer in imdiate danger, continuing treatnt with dicine is necessary to truly ensure his survival."
The man's gentle eyes montarily stilled, then took on a touch of complexity.
"Miss..." the woman cautiously lowered her head, "may I stay to take care of Yeye? I am afraid that he..."
"Of course you may."
Shao He walked outside cradling the child, "During these days, do not let the child catch cold, administer the dicine daily three tis without fail. If the child develops a fever, just call for ."
"Miss, wait!" Just as Shao He was about to step past the screen, the man suddenly spoke up.
He held his fists in front of him and bowed slightly toward Shao He, his gentle face now quite serious.
"I am Yun Qian. Miss's dical skills are so profound; may I ask who was your teacher?"
Who was my teacher?
That naturally couldn't be said.
Shao He slightly lowered her phoenix eyes, glossing over the question.
"My master does not like publicity. When I completed my apprenticeship, he had already reminded not to publicize his na to others."
"Wow—"
No sooner had Shao He finished speaking than the child in her arms suddenly burst into loud crying.
Sensing that the child's crying was growing weaker, Shao He's brows involuntarily knitted together.
With her other unoccupied hand, she felt around at her waist, but found nothing.
Only when the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of a gold ring on her little finger did she vaguely rember that the ring seed to be the only dowry she had retained when married into the Marquis's Mansion.
"Here, take this."
She slipped off the ring and handed it to Yun Qian, "Please buy so cow's milk for ."
She was weak and had hardly any breast milk. If she were to let the child remain hungry, he probably wouldn't last through the night.
Yun Qian, however, shook his head and stepped back.
"Miss has already given a bag of copper coins. Even though it's for the child's dicine, there will inevitably be so left over. I suppose Miss is worried the child won't be well-fed? My dical skills may not be as profound as Miss's, but I do know so effective redies."
His voice trailed off, and Yun Qian's cheeks suddenly flushed with a hint of red, "I can prepare so galactagogue for Miss..."
"In that case, I'll be troubling you."
