Chapter 1363: A Different Weasel
Jiang Miaoyan looked at the medicine, completely different from Western medicine, with a quite conflicted expression.
According to her education and common knowledge in life, treating severe illnesses required Western medicine.
When Chen Yang said he could treat it, she thought the same way.
But now seeing Chen Yang's techniques, it was almost entirely traditional Chinese medicine.
This made her anxiety rise again, worrying that the disease couldn't be cured.
"Alright..." Though anxious, she had no choice but to follow what Chen Yang advised.
She took the elixir and immediately followed Chen Yang's instructions to feed it to Lingling.
Watching Lingling take the elixir, Chen Yang added, "You stay here with her for now, I'll go to the backyard to prepare some medicines. Call me in an hour, and I'll remove the needles."
"Okay."
Jiang Miaoyan didn't say much, simply nodded in agreement.
Then Chen Yang left the ward to the backyard to prepare the medicine.
Usually, Chen Yang never treated a patient over a period of days.
But this time, leukemia was different.
The illness was extremely complicated, plus Lingling's body was very weak, requiring conditioning before treatment.
After leaving the room, Chen Yang immediately went to the backyard medicinal garden and picked several key herbs.
He ground them into juice using a pestle.
After that, Chen Yang picked up the phone and called Wang Jingman.
He asked her to help find two particularly hard-to-find herbs.
After doing all this, Chen Yang went to the kitchen to boil water in a large pot.
Just after adding two handfuls of firewood and covering the pot, there were footsteps behind, someone had arrived.
"Boss Chen... an hour has passed."
It was Jiang Miaoyan who had come.
Hearing her voice, Chen Yang responded affirmatively, then put down what he was working on and went to the ward to remove the needles for Lingling.
"Lingling, how are you feeling?" After Chen Yang finished removing the needles, Jiang Miaoyan looked at Lingling and asked.
"Sister... the areas where the needles were are feeling a bit bloated," Lingling replied.
Chen Yang put away the silver needles and said with a smile, "The bloated feeling is a good sign. I'll prepare an herbal bath for you in a bit, and your body will feel much better."
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go prepare the herbal bath," Chen Yang turned to say to Jiang Miaoyan, then left directly without waiting for her reply.
Leaving the clinic, Chen Yang immediately went to Aunt Zhang's house.
Chen Yang remembered that Aunt Zhang still had an old-style wooden tub, so he borrowed it to prepare an herbal bath for Lingling, to help condition her body.
"Yang Zi, what do you need this for? Isn't a plastic tub more convenient?" Aunt Zhang helped Chen Yang find the wooden tub from her house's storeroom.
"It's just needed urgently; I didn't have time to buy one," Chen Yang replied with a laugh, casually, then wiped off the dust and was about to carry it back.
"Aunt Zhang, I'll borrow this for two days and return it to you then," Chen Yang said.
Aunt Zhang waved her hand with a smile, "Oh, it's just a tub. It's not like I use it at home. Take it and don't bother returning it; I don't feel like carrying it back, it's so heavy."
"Haha, alright, thank you, Aunt Zhang."
Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony. Nowadays, wooden tubs are indeed not of much use.
But to him, it was a useful item for medical purposes.
Chen Yang thanked Aunt Zhang twice, then carried the wooden tub back home.
After a simple cleaning, he moved the big tub into the ward.
Then added hot water boiled in the kitchen, along with those herbs he had crushed in the backyard that afternoon.
The originally clear hot water changed color immediately after adding the herbs.
It all turned to a verdant green, exuding a strong herbal fragrance.
Jiang Miaoyan saw this and understood this was the herbal bath Chen Yang prepared for Lingling.
"Later, let Lingling soak in it. She shouldn't come out until the water becomes cool," after preparing the herbal bath, Chen Yang instructed Jiang Miaoyan.
"Alright, I understand, Boss Chen, thank you," Jiang Miaoyan said.
Chen Yang waved his hand, then turned and went out to get her a new towel.
"You can start now."
Saying that, Chen Yang turned and went out again.
As he left, he also closed the door to the room.
Respecting the patient's privacy.
When leaving the ward, the day was already late.
The fiery red sun on the horizon was slowly setting, and the sky gradually turning dark.
Chen Yang thought about it and kept himself busy, went out to pick some wild mushrooms, and even caught a plump wild chicken.
Preparing to make a somewhat sumptuous dinner that evening.
Although Jiang Miaoyan came for treatment, as a guest, he couldn't just serve plain tea and simple meals.
Chen Yang held the wild chicken, intending to head back.
While passing by the bushes and a grove, he noticed that on a big tree, the eagle brother was perched.
Its sharp eyes scanning the entire grove.
Upon seeing the eagle brother, Chen Yang thought nothing of it, only imagining it was playing around, catching some animals or something.
But just as Chen Yang was about to look away and head home...
A golden flash suddenly zipped through the grove.
As the flash passed by, the eagle brother on the tree suddenly flapped its wings vigorously.
It dove straight down, heading towards the golden flash.
The flash moved remarkably fast.
And with Chen Yang standing a certain distance away, he couldn't quite make out what it was.
The eagle brother dove down, swiftly reaching out its talons towards the flash.
Chen Yang initially thought the eagle brother could catch it.
But unfortunately, the flash was too quick and alert; the eagle brother didn't catch it.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yang was a bit surprised.
For with the eagle brother's current strength, dealing with ordinary animals was usually a breeze, without any pressure.
Yet this flash managed to escape, which was odd.
However, upon thinking it over, Chen Yang realized.
"This must be that weasel from last time. Escaping twice from the eagle brother's grasp seems quite extraordinary indeed."
Chen Yang recalled the previous encounter with that weasel when he passed here before.
The eagle brother hadn't caught it then either.
Seems like it must be the same one.
"I'll come back another time to see if I can catch it for a study."
Chen Yang chuckled slightly, not thinking too much about it.
Carrying the plump wild chicken, he headed back.
Returning home, the ward was still quiet, suggesting the soaking wasn't finished.
So, Chen Yang went to the kitchen to handle the wild chicken.
When he finished, the clinic finally showed some activity.
Jiang Miaoyan brought Lingling out from the ward.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Yang put down his work and came out to take a look.
He saw Lingling now wrapped tightly in clothes, with only her hands exposed.
However, upon close observation, Chen Yang noticed her small hands looked slightly better than when she first arrived, showing a hint of rosiness.
Not as pallid as when she first came.
"How is it? Lingling, do you feel better?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.
For some reason, Jiang Miaoyan's eyes were red at this moment.
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, she suddenly knelt down with Lingling together.
