Chapter 329 Death of illness

Moreover, Shen Wanyi is a grandchild, and since she knows that her grandmother is ill, she must go and take care of her.

She stood up reluctantly and said, "Baoqin, you stay here and look after the kitten. I'm going to visit my grandmother."

Baoqin was a little worried, "Miss, I'll go with you. It's dark here..."

"It's okay, Sister Chuntao is here."

Doctor Lin looked at her worried expression, sighed, and said, "Song Ying, you stay and look after the cat too."

Having been in the Shen Mansion for nearly half a year, Song Ying had some understanding of County Lady Shunan's illness. Whenever she felt a little unwell, the servants would get extremely anxious and would call their master over immediately.

So when Song Ying heard that Princess Shun'an was unwell, he was no longer as anxious and worried as before. And from Chuntao's description just now, there should be no big problem. A big reason was that the weather changed too quickly in the past few days, and she did not put on more clothes in time, which caused her to catch a cold.

In comparison, she would rather stay and feed the kitten medicine, as the kitten's life is hanging by a thread.

Because it was inconvenient for the two of them to work together, Song Ying said to Baoqin, "Sister Baoqin, let the sister outside the courtyard come in and feed the kitten medicine together. It's not convenient for the two of us to do it together."

"But if the young lady punishes her..." Baoqin hesitated, and after a moment she said, "Forget it, Sister Song Ying, let's work together to feed her slowly. The young lady's decision to punish Nongshu is not mine."

Song Ying had no choice but to feed the baby together with her.

I don’t know if it was Song Ying’s illusion or Baoqin didn’t use enough force, but the kitten struggled more violently than before. Several attempts at feeding the medicine failed to work. Baoqin’s hand was scratched several times, and Song Ying’s hand was bitten twice.

The two struggled for a while and only fed half of it. The rest in the bowl was already cold. Song Ying said, "The medicine is cold. Heat it up before feeding."

Baoqin felt relieved and quickly put the kitten back into the bamboo basket. "I'll go get some heat. Sister Song Ying, you take a break and take care of your wound."

Song Ying glanced at the teeth marks on his left index finger and shook his head, "Let's wait until we're done feeding him before applying the medicine. He might get bitten a few more times later. Being bitten is a small matter for me, but if he licks the ointment in, it might affect the efficacy of this Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang, which would be bad."

Baoqin was startled, "I didn't expect you to be so good-tempered. You weren't even angry when you were bitten, and you were still thinking about the cat's illness."

Song Ying smiled and said, "It's a patient now. I'm a doctor, so I have to be patient with patients. My priority is to cure the disease."

Baoqin covered her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but teasing: "Cats are your patients, so, you want to be a veterinarian in the future?"

There is a custom in Qingshui County that when you tease a doctor for his poor medical skills, you call him a veterinarian. Unexpectedly, Baoqin also knew this teasing. Song Ying was a little curious, "Sister Baoqin, where are you from? In your family, when you say someone's medical skills are poor, do you also call him a veterinarian?"

Baoqin laughed even more happily, "It's not just our hometown, it's the same in Beijing."

Song Ying was also amused. Then he thought of Huang Yihai, who worked as a veterinarian in Xinghua Village and the surrounding villages with only a few herbs, and he felt that the joke made sense.

If a doctor who treats humans makes a mistake during the treatment, he will be sued, so he has to be extremely cautious when being a doctor. He has to work as a medicine boy for several years. Animals cannot talk, and there are no special teachers who teach how to treat animals. Those who know a little about herbal medicine dare to practice on animals and call themselves veterinarians.

After a few jokes, they both felt much more relaxed, and when they saw that the medicine was warm, they took the kitten out again to feed it.

This time, Song Ying discovered that it was not her illusion. The kitten was indeed stronger than before and was meowing continuously.

"Xuetuan! Xuetuan!" Shen Wanyi's surprised voice came from outside, and then she lifted the curtain and came in. When the kitten saw her, it cried even louder.

Song Ying was surprised, "Miss Qi, why did you come back so soon?"

Aren’t you going to visit the sick and take care of the patient?

"My grandmother was worried that I might have passed away, so she asked me to come back first." After a brief explanation, Shen Wanyi looked at the meowing kitten and asked expectantly, "Is it getting better soon?"

It turned out to be the case.

Song Ying silently complained in his heart. If Princess Shun'an knew that she was worried about her granddaughter's health and asked someone to go back, but her granddaughter turned around and went to see the sick kitten, would she be so angry that she died?

The thought flashed through her mind. Although she was reluctant, she still had to pour cold water on Shen Wanyi. "She is just more energetic than before. It is still a long way to go before she is completely well."

Shen Wanyi was deflated, "Then continue to feed the medicine."

Song Ying and Baoqin continued to feed the kitten. The kitten meowed so miserably that it was heartbreaking to hear.

Soon, Shen Wanyi couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Why don't you stop feeding it? I think it's in much better spirits now."

Song Ying: “…”

Your attitude changed too quickly. Just now you were urging me to feed you quickly, but now you don't allow me to feed you anymore after just two spoonfuls.

She frowned and rejected it: "But the medicine has not been fully administered. The dosage is not enough to eliminate the disease."

Shen Wanyi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take a break and let it slow down."

Song Ying wanted to persuade the baby again but was stopped by Baoqin. He had to follow Shen Wanyi's wishes and stop feeding the baby for the time being.

After staying for a while, Shen Wanyi sent someone to the main courtyard to inquire, and learned that Doctor Lin would not be back for a while, so she took the kitten back.

Although Song Ying felt that it was not a good idea to take the kitten out so late at night, she could not persuade Shen Wanyi at all. She had to take a piece of cloth to cover the bamboo basket and told Baoqin to try not to let the kitten be exposed to the night wind.

Worried about the kitten's illness, Song Ying hurried back after the clinic closed the next afternoon. But no matter how anxious she was, she had to go to the big kitchen to get food first.

As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she heard Xiaolu and the others talking about something, occasionally mentioning words like cat, illness, bath, etc. Song Ying hurriedly asked, "Sisters, are you talking about Miss Seven's cat?"

"Yes, I heard that when Baoqin and the others got up to check this morning, the kitten's body was stiff, and Miss Qi was crying like crazy, and she even hit Baoqin!" Chunfang was curious, so after answering, she asked Song Ying, "Wasn't the cat treated at your place yesterday? How was the cat then? How could it die overnight?"

When Song Ying heard that the kitten was dead, he was stunned and then very sad. Such a small kitten, whose life had just begun, was gone.

Didn't he seem to be in better spirits last night? How could he be dead?!

Xiaolu patted Chunfang and said, "Sister Chunfang, can you speak? You are talking as if Doctor Lin and Song Ying killed the cat. This is obviously Miss Qi's fault. Song Ying said before that kittens cannot take a bath.

Sister Nongshu told her, but she refused to listen, saying that Song Ying, who came from the countryside, didn't know anything. She insisted on giving the kitten a bath. I heard that the cat had diarrhea and vomited that night, and then Miss Seven thought it was dirty, so she washed it again."
