Chapter 290 Home Visit
At 8:30 in the morning, the bodyguard drove Sifos and Xu Weiwei to the priest.
The car stopped outside the courtyard, and the guard dog barked a few times. The priest heard the noise and came out on crutches. He immediately noticed the little girl led by Sifos. He stood there without moving, just watching the two quietly, waiting for them to come over.
"Weier, this is the priestess of the Gudel tribe and your savior. You have grown up to this day thanks to her medical treatment when you were a child." Sifos introduced his daughter.
Xu raised her head slightly and said hello obediently: "Hello, thank you."
"This is Sister Taohua, who took care of you when you were a child." Xifos turned to the graceful girl standing next to the old man and said.
"Hello, Sister Taohua."
Compared to the last time we met, the old lady didn't seem to have changed much. Maybe she already had a lot of wrinkles, so one or two more wouldn't be noticeable. The girl next to her, Taohua, had grown up a lot.
"Hey, hello, hello." Taohua responded enthusiastically and shyly.
The priest didn't say anything or smile, just stared at Xu Weiwei. If it was an ordinary child, he might have been scared. But Xu Weiwei, who had memories, knew the strange personality of this old lady. She was a person who looked hard on the outside but was soft on the inside.
Suddenly, the priest took off Xu Weiwei's mask, pinched her face to make her stick out her tongue, and then pulled up her eyelids to take a look. Finally, he lifted one of her hands and pressed on her pulse. He was like an emotionless quality inspector.
"Oh~! Haha, the priest is treating her. Our priest... is quite efficient." Taohua said with a smile while sweating.
After the procedure was completed, Xu raised her hand and rubbed her cheek. The old man's hands were very rough, and they scratched her face like sandpaper.
Siphos shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then looked at the priest expectantly and asked, "How is it? Can it be cured? You should have a way, right?"
"Didn't I tell you to take good care of him?" the priest asked sternly. His already serious expression looked even more terrifying.
Both father and daughter lowered their heads.
"Isn't she just suffering from tuberculosis? What other sufferings did she suffer before? Explain it to me clearly. A normal child, even if she has a deficiency of Qi and blood, would not be so weak that she would suffer so seriously from catching a cold."
"I know that I have taken good care of my body." The old man stared at Xifusi and said affirmatively. Taohua also glanced at him.
Sifos felt guilty, "Before... Wei'er was kidnapped once."
There is no need to explain the rest of the content, everyone who listens will understand.
The old lady pounded the bluestone floor with her cane a few times, and said angrily: "Illness comes like a mountain falling! Illness goes away like pulling a thread! Building a family is like a needle picking up soil! Ruining a family is like water pushing sand! Do you understand these principles?!"
"You are so grown up, but you can't even take care of a child! You don't take my words seriously at all. If that's the case, why did you send her here?"
Sifos knew she was talking about what she had told him before she left five years ago. He did not make excuses for himself. No matter what, it was his responsibility as a father if something happened to the child.
"What are you still doing there?! Are you waiting for me to beg you to come in and treat me?"
The old lady walked into the house angrily, tapping her cane, and Taohua followed behind her in panic.
Sifos looked up, his eyes lit up, and he immediately took his daughter's hand and followed.
The driver and bodyguard behind him was already in a state of dumbfoundedness. When had he ever seen a tough general being scolded like a rabbit? And the general seemed to be very convinced and not dissatisfied at all. Who on earth was this old lady?
When they walked in, Sifos leaned over and whispered to his daughter, "This old lady is not a bad person, and Dad is not angry. She is a good person, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Xu nodded slightly. She knew the power of this priest's hermaphrodite. It was not the first time that her father was humiliated in front of her.
When they arrived at the living room, the old lady was already writing a prescription. While writing, she asked Xu Weiwei some questions about her physical condition, and Xu Weiwei answered them truthfully.
A few minutes later, the priest put down his pen, picked up the paper and blew on it, then handed it to Taohua and said, "Boil it over a slow fire. After the medicine is ready, go find Gantz and ask him to catch some turtles in the river."
Taohua took it, "Okay, when will you use it?"
"Use it immediately after catching it. Tell him I have been needing it. He can go find it when he has time."
"Did you hear that?" Sifos looked at the bodyguard.
The man subconsciously tensed his muscles, suppressed the urge to salute, and said in a resounding voice: "Yes! I will help you find it."
Taohua came to a fruit forest planted in the tribe. The fruits were ripe recently, and Ganz and his two brothers took the lead to help pick them.
"Gantz--!" Taohua shouted while standing under the tree.
There was a rustling sound among the treetops. Gantz climbed up the tree trunk like a monkey and hung upside down. "What happened?"
"The priest asked you to go to the river and catch some turtles when you have time."
"Catching turtles?" Ganz was puzzled. "Didn't you catch one yesterday? You're catching one again? What are you going to use it for?"
"The little girl from outside needs it. Doesn't she have tuberculosis? The tortoise shell is used as an auxiliary treatment." Taohua has learned a lot from following the priest since she was a child.
"Weier? She's coming down?!" Ganz's hand slipped and he almost fell down.
"Be careful!"
Ganz climbed up, crawled to a lower fork in the tree, and then jumped down. "Is she with the priest now?"
"Yes, I am waiting for the medicine to be boiled."
"Old turtle, right? I'll go catch him now. Let me use your horse for a while. If you want to go back, let my second brother take you there. He's over there."
Taohua stretched out her hand: "Hey! You are..."
