Chapter 335 Getting better
Aunt Lian was worried, "But he vomited what I fed him this morning and at noon. He didn't vomit just now. Will he vomit again if I feed him the broth again?"
Although she knew that the cat vomited because it was sick and not caused by the broth, she was now a little paranoid about the broth.
Speaking of feeling tired, Song Ying suddenly remembered that when he felt tired while working, eating candy would have the quickest effect, so he hurriedly asked, "Master, can you give me some sugar water? When I'm hungry in the future, I can eat candy and I won't be hungry any more."
After a brief pause, Doctor Lin nodded, "Sugar water is fine, just make it thicker."
Aunt Lian went to look for the sugar in a hurry. After finding it, she looked at the dusty jar and felt worried. "This candy is from a long time ago. Wouldn't it be better to use fresh ones?"
She muttered to herself, and without waiting for Dr. Lin to answer, she turned and walked out: "I'll go to the kitchen to get it!"
Doctor Lin did not stop her, but said: "It's late at night, and you haven't eaten yet. Take the meal back as well."
Then he said to Song Ying, "Let's go back and eat first."
Song Ying was about to agree, but Aunt Lian turned back and asked, "You guys want to leave?"
After Doctor Lin mentioned this, Song Ying realized that he was already hungry, and hurriedly said, "I'll come back after dinner."
Aunt Lian was still worried, frowning, and after a while she said, "I'll go get the food, you guys can eat here. The cat can't leave people around now, what if it vomits again?"
Hearing this, Song Ying couldn't help but feel a little worried. Wasn't it because the maids were all asleep at night and didn't notice the cat's worsening condition in time, and its body was stiff when it woke up?
"Master, how about I stay here and you go back..."
Doctor Lin knew clearly what was bothering his apprentice. Without waiting for her to finish, he sighed and said to Aunt Lian, "Okay, we'll wait here while you go get the food."
Aunt Lian was relieved and left after saying "I'll be back soon".
Song Ying looked at the kitten and saw that it was still sleeping, so he asked Doctor Lin: "Master, how is the old lady?"
Doctor Lin sighed again, "After eating the medicinal food, I went to sleep."
Originally, because of Aunt Lian's peace and prosperity some time ago, the old lady's health had improved a lot, and she listened to Doctor Lin and tried not to get angry. During the New Year, when Aunt Lian asked several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to stand and serve meals, disturbing the atmosphere of family reunion, she was not very angry.
But I just caught a cold a few days ago and haven’t recovered yet. Now I’m so angry that all the strength I had built up has been used up.
Seeing her master's expression, Song Ying guessed that the situation was not good and couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, she was deeply aware that anger was harmful to the body, and decided to relax and be less angry in the future.
Not long after, Aunt Lian came back with the meal. After the meal, the three of them worked together to feed the kitten some sugar water.
Not long after, the kitten vomited again, but it was much lighter than before. Only a small part of the sugar water was vomited out, unlike before, when it vomited out most of the medicine.
Seeing this, although Aunt Lian was still anxious, she felt relieved. The medicine was indeed effective!
It was getting late, and Master Song Ying and his apprentice were planning to go back, but Aunt Lian wouldn't let them. She begged them to stay and told them to sleep while she would look after the kitten and call them if anything happened.
But in this situation, how could Master Song Ying and his disciples let her guard the temple alone? So they agreed to take turns guarding it, with Song Ying guarding the 11th hour, Doctor Lin guarding the 12th hour and the 13th hour, and Aunt Lian guarding the most difficult 14th hour and the 15th hour.
Even though they were divided up like this, Aunt Lian was worried about the cat and couldn't sleep at all. She stayed by the cat from beginning to end. At 12:00 a.m., she woke them up and said, "It pooped, it's very watery, like water."
Master and disciple Song Ying went to check and found that it was indeed the case. If it were not for the brown residue on the soil and the foul smell, it would really look like water poured on the soil.
After pondering for a while, Doctor Lin added two herbs to the original prescription, boiled them and fed them to the kitten. However, the kitten's mental state was visibly getting worse.
And because of the several times it had to feed it medicine, it now wouldn't let Aunt Lian hold it, but it still wanted to stay in the same space with her and see her.
Later, when the sun came out, it lay on the stone table in the yard to bask in the sun. Aunt Lian was worried that it would catch a cold, so she quickly took a mat and went out.
On the third day, it was tormented by the frequent feeding of medicine and curled up quietly in a basket in the corner, only going out to bask in the sun when the sun came out. Aunt Lian took out a mat as usual to put it under, but as soon as she approached, the kitten ran away. Only after she left did it jump onto the table again to bask in the sun.
In the middle of the night on the third day, Song Ying was sleeping soundly when Aunt Lian woke him up. She pointed under the cupboard in surprise. In the dim moonlight outside the window, Song Ying saw the kitten drinking water, with its tongue stretching out and retracting to create little splashes of water.
She suddenly became alert and all her sleepiness disappeared. This was the first time the cat drank water on its own initiative since it fell ill!
This means the kitten is getting better!
The two of them just watched the kitten drinking water without daring to move, fearing that any big movement would scare the kitten away.
Soon, the cat finished drinking water and returned to its nest to sleep. Aunt Lian then asked softly, "Is it feeling much better now?"
Just as Song Ying was about to speak, Doctor Lin spoke from behind, "Well, much better."
When I turned around, I found that Doctor Lin had also woken up. I guess he was afraid of disturbing the kitten from drinking water, so there was no movement in front.
Aunt Lian was very happy. She put her hands together and prayed around the room, "Thank God, I'm finally getting better!"
After thanking the gods, she thanked Doctor Lin and Song Ying with an apologetic look on her face, "I'm so sorry for disturbing your rest these two days. You can't sleep well here. You can go back to sleep tomorrow night. I will take care of it from now on.
But during the day, I still have to trouble you to stay with someone. I will always feel uneasy until I am fully recovered."
We have already been guarding for two days and two nights. What's the point of guarding during the day?
After a moment's silence, Doctor Lin said, "Wait another quarter of an hour and feed it some meat paste."
Aunt Lian hurried to the wing on the left, which had become a makeshift kitchenette in the past few days. It had all kinds of meat and cat food. In the past two days, they had been trying to find out what the cat would like to eat.
Soon, Aunt Lian steamed a small bowl of pure meat porridge, and the three of them worked together to feed the kitten.
A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, half an hour passed, and the kitten did not vomit. Aunt Lian felt more relieved.
Song Ying looked outside and said, "Madam Lian, you haven't slept much these days, go and have a good sleep. I'll stay by your side and I'll take over at dawn."
"That won't work. You haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two days. You go to sleep and I'll watch over you."
Doctor Lin also advised: "We have slept a lot on and off, but you haven't slept much. Even your iron body can't bear it. Go to sleep quickly. When the epidemic is over, the kitten will still be weak for a while and need careful care. If your body is broken, how can you take care of it?"
