Chapter 95: Let’s talk about the future later
Li Shande concentrated on taking the little girl's pulse. The others stood far away and did not dare to say anything, but their eyes invariably fell on his weathered face, trying to get some clues.
After a while, I saw him getting up and walking into the counter, picking up the bamboo basket on it and starting to grab the medicine.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Bao quickly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Li, how is my sister? Will she die?"
Li Shande said while grabbing the medicine: "It's not too late to deliver it. If it's one day later, there will be no hope."
"That means it's saved?" Yuan Bao was delighted.
Li Shande took a look at him. Although he was a beggar, the doll was obviously still a child. Li Shande had been practicing medicine all his life, and it was inevitable that he felt pity in his heart.
He then looked at Song You'an, who seemed a little awkward with beggars. Although he was doubtful, he was not a nosy person. He only said: "Since the girl is willing to pay, I will give this child some good money." Waiting for the medicine.”
"Doctor Li, feel free to use it, as long as you can save her, money is not an issue." Song You'an said quickly.
Li Shande looked at her and nodded, grabbing the medicine faster.
Finally, the bamboo basket was filled. With so many medicines fried together, wouldn’t it take a big pot to cook?
However, Li Shande handed the bamboo basket to the little medicine boy and ordered: "Go and prepare a medicinal bath."
"Yes."
The little medicine boy responded, carrying the bamboo basket of medicinal materials into the back hall to boil water.
Li Shande then explained seriously to several people: "This child's body is too weak. Now there is both cold and moisture in her body. She needs to take a medicinal bath to quickly force it out of the body. Otherwise, over time, she will get the root of the disease at a young age. .”
As he said that, he looked at Song You'an and said, "We are both women, so I will trouble you later. Go in and wait for this little girl to take a medicinal bath."
"Me?"
Song Youan hesitated subconsciously, but after looking around, it was clear that she was the most suitable person.
She nodded quickly: "Okay."
After a while, the water boiled and the little medicine boy got everything ready. Song Youan carried the little girl behind the screen in the back hall.
A wooden bathtub was filled with medicinal herbs, with a special bitter and fragrant smell floating around.
The water inside also changed color. Song Youan carefully helped the little girl take off her shabby clothes, only to realize how thin her body was under the clothes.
Under the skin in front of the body, the ribs are clearly visible.
After putting her in the bathtub, Song Youan had to hold her up with her hands, otherwise the unconscious little girl might slip into the bathtub and drown.
Doctor Li said that it should be soaked for a full hour.
That's two hours.
She sat on a small wooden stool and subconsciously stared at the little girl's face. Her hair was messy, stuck together and mixed with mud.
Her face was covered with dirt and her lips were bloodless, making it impossible to see what she looked like.
There was a white facekerchief hanging on the barrel. Song Youan reached out to take it and wet it, then gently began to wipe the little girl's body.
Outside the hospital, Yuanbao and Erliang were sitting on the stone steps waiting.
"Brother Bao, it will definitely cost a lot of money to catch so many medicines. How can we return it to the girl?"
Yuan Bao looked at the passers-by on Chang'an Street silently. After hearing this, he was silent for a long time before whispering: "I will definitely repay her, even if I sell my life to her." Erliang looked at him and said, "I will repay her." There is no need for facts to remind him: "Brother Bao, don't forget, we are beggars and gangsters, not even lowly."
Black people are not even qualified to be bought or sold, and serious people only buy people with low-level status.
When Yuan Bao heard this, he lowered his head in disappointment.
Yes, he is a black man. He begs others to buy what others will not buy from him. How can he expect to be bought by such a good girl? How can such a good thing happen?
"No matter what, she saved Cai Cai. Cai Cai and I will owe her our whole lives. Even if it takes us a lifetime, I will pay the girl back today's money."
"Yes, don't worry about the ingot, we are here with you, we will help you return it together!"
Yuan Bao looked at Er Liang, smiled and nodded.
An hour later, Song Youan took the little girl out of the medicinal bath and dried her body. Although the clothes were dirty, she could only make do with them now.
She was taken out of the back hall and her face regained some color after taking a medicinal bath. After Song Youan wiped away the dirt on her face, she could see that the little girl looked about six or seven years old, and she was very cute.
Yuan Bao and Er Liang gathered around. Yuan Bao used his hand to test the temperature of her forehead. After touching it, he exclaimed: "Grandpa Li, she is still so hot!"
Li Shande said: "It's normal for her body to feel hot after taking a medicinal bath. Let's put her on the bed in the side hall first. There is a quilt there."
Song Youan took one look at the dirty clothes on the little girl and couldn't help but said to Dr. Li: "I will also pay you for the dirty bedding."
Li Shande nodded and said to Yuan Bao and Er Liang: "You two can't go in. If you want to wait, you can only wait outside the medical center."
"Why...why?"
The little medicine boy looked at Yuan Bao and said, "We are a medical clinic here. Many people come and go every day. How can you behave like a bunch of beggars in there?"
"We..."
Erliang was dissatisfied, but Yuanbao held him down: "We know, we will wait outside."
Song You'an took out a fifty-tael silver note and handed it over: "I'll keep this money here, Doctor Li, just take the medicine until this little girl fully recovers."
Fifty taels is enough, and it can't be spent at all.
Li Shande couldn't help but look at Song You'an for two more seconds. He didn't think this girl had anything to do with beggars, so he still had some respect for her kind deeds.
"Don't worry, girl, I will do my best."
Song Youan nodded and looked at Yuanbao and Erliang: "Don't worry, she will be fine."
Yuanbao and Erliang immediately knelt down to Song Youan again. Yuanbao said loudly: "I will never forget the girl's great kindness. I, Yuanbao, swear that I will repay the girl in the future!"
Song Youan helped the person up, thought for a while and then said: "Guard my sister first, and we will discuss the future matters later."
Yuan Bao held back his tears and nodded, saying goodbye to Song You'an and watching her go away.
Song You'an walked slowly to the Fuyang Marquis Mansion. When he saw Zhu Ling, there was a young lady sitting in the guest seat.
Song You'an had met this young lady. On the day when she was selling perfume, the young lady also went to You'an Ju.
But when they met this time, the other party's eyes inevitably looked at her with more contempt. The eyes were a bit blatant, and when they fell on Song You'an, she felt doubtful and confused.
As soon as Zhu Ling opened her mouth, she said: "Miss Song, where were you just now? Sister Siyan said she just saw you with several beggars on Chang'an Street?"
In an instant, Song Youan understood why this young lady showed such a look to him.
