Transmigrating: I Married the Male Protagonist’s Uncle

Chapter 881: Need to Calm Down the Fire

Upon seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Huo Ci frowned and sulked. Wasn’t it just a nosebleed? It was not a big deal. Wasn’t he even allowed to make a joke?

Jun Shiyan nodded slightly at him and walked over to help him carry his luggage.

Huo Ci asked, “Why is her nose bleeding?”

Jun Shiyan said, “The air is too dry. She’s a little heaty.”

Huo Ci frowned. “When she’s at home, no matter how dry it is, she doesn’t get heaty. Now that she’s back here, she’s become fragile.”

Jun Shiyan nodded.

Hopefully, it’s not a real illness, Huo Ci thought. Although he was joking just now, he was still a little worried. “Let’s go to the hospital to take a look first!”

Ling Sheng knew that there was nothing wrong with her. She just had a nosebleed, yet she had to go to the hospital. What nonsense was that? She simply had a nosebleed. Who had not had a nosebleed before?

However, her strength alone was too insignificant. The others, including Xiaoqi, insisted that she go to the hospital to take a look.

Jun Shiyan had even said to go to the hospital in the city. There was probably no good hospital in this small town.

However, Ling Sheng was determined to go to the small clinic in town. The doctor was an elderly trained in traditional Chinese medicine. Upon seeing Ling Sheng arrive, his wrinkled face broke into a smile. “Sheng Sheng, I heard you came yesterday. The villagers said that you left early in the morning; did you come to see me?”

Xiaoqi ran over immediately and called out in a crisp voice, “Grandpa Zhang!”

“Xiaoqi, you’re already so tall. Your body has also become stronger.” Upon seeing how the child was brimming with energy, Zhang Zhong nodded in satisfaction. It was great. The boy had recovered.

Xiaoqi, this child, had been born with a weak body. He would come to the hospital every few days and was a frequent visitor here. He was sensible, smart, and likable.

“Hi, Grandpa Zhang,” Xiaoqi’s mouth was very sweet.

Zhang Zhong gave Xiaoqi two pieces of candy happily and took a look at Ling Sheng. “There’s no problem. You’re fine. You aren’t heaty. You’re very healthy. Did you come to get medicine from me? If you’re not sick and want to get medicine from me, I won’t give it to you.”

Ling Sheng looked at the others. I already said that I’m not sick. I’m not sick at all. You didn’t believe at all and insisted on coming to the hospital. You guys should believe me now!

Huo Ci was wondering if this person was just a quack doctor, so he did not really trust him. He asked, “Doctor Zhang, what about me?”

Zhang Zhong took a look at him and concluded straight away, “Your liver is inflamed, so you’re the one who needs to cool the fire down. Wait for me to give you a prescription!”

Ling Sheng giggled but tried her best to hold it in. When she saw her father’s face darken, she thought, Why did you have to criticize him for no reason? However, she believed that her father’s liver was inflamed.

“You’re not young anymore. Don’t be so angry usually. Can’t you be calm?” Zhang Zhong tried to persuade him as he wrote the prescription. “Don’t drink, smoke, and stay up late. Go out more often when you have nothing to do. It’s good for your health to relax.”

Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened. What did he say about him? That his liver was inflamed? How was his liver inflamed? Was he a miracle doctor? One look and he knew?

However, seeing that he was already so old, Huo Ci gave him some face. So what if his liver was inflamed?

“From the looks of it, the two of you have weak stomachs!” After Zhang Zhong prescribed Huo Ci some medicine, he looked at Jun Shiyan and Nangong Lengyu.

“Grandpa Zhang, take a look and see if their stomachs can be nursed back to health.” Ling Sheng knew that this person was very capable. Whenever Xiaoqi had a headache or fever, he would recover with a simple massage and acupuncture. He basically did not eat any medicine.

“It can be nursed back to health, but it’s best to combine the treatments with acupuncture. The two of you are leaving soon.” The old Chinese doctor got the duo to sit down and took their pulse. Then, he said, “It’s not that easy to improve your situation. Medicine needs to be adjusted according to the overall recovery situation. If both of you aren’t here, I won’t know your condition. I can’t prescribe any specific medicine.”

Nangong Lengyu had not expected to meet a capable doctor in such a place. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasized on the four diagnostic methods—looking, listening, asking, and feeling the pulse. However, she had not truly seen many doctors who could identify an illness with just one look. She could not help but feel more respect.

Jun Shiyan was also surprised. He knew that the elderly man in front of him was someone with true ability. He had seen countless doctors for his gastric problem, and this was the best they could do even after treatment. He was already in a good condition.

“It’s fine, Grandpa Zhang. I’ll urge them to come and see you. How often do you think it’s best for us to come over? Doesn’t Niuniu have my phone number? Get her to add me on WeChat and we’ll video call each other. I’ll bring them over when they should come over,” Ling Sheng was excited. If they could really nurse their stomachs back to health, they could even stay here permanently, let alone make regular visits.

Although she did not have gastric problems, when she was with the Third Master, she deeply experienced the pain of a patient suffering from a gastric illness. He could not eat anything because his stomach would feel terrible after eating.

Auntie Yu had also vomited blood and been hospitalized due to gastric cramps before. It made her heart ache to watch.

Zhang Zhong gave them a prescription. Some of the herbs were very rare. He had gone up the mountain to pick them himself, so they could not be found elsewhere. He reminded them repeatedly to come back for a follow-up when it was time. It wasn’t accurate for him to diagnose them through the phone screen as well.

Besides, the four diagnostic methods were all indispensable. He was not a miracle doctor who could ascertain the exact situation with a single look and prescribe medicine.

Ling Sheng had come to see a doctor, but in the end, she was not sick and didn’t get any medicine prescribed to her. However, the other three people had each taken a pile of medicine, which amused her.

When they reached the city, they parted ways. Nangong Lengyu took Jun Shiyan’s plane home, while Ling Sheng and the others took the plane Huo Ci had flown over on to the capital.

When they got on the plane, Huo Ci took Xiaoqi around to play. Only then did Jun Shiyan ask Ling Sheng, “What did you want to tell me last night?”

Ling Sheng grew timid again today. She didn’t know how to explain what she had wanted to say yesterday. She let out a low cough and whispered, “If I tell you, you tell anyone.”

Jun Shiyan nodded. However, he listened to the young lady’s tireless speech about a new female celebrity she had met. The one named Song Yiyan, and she had said that her family was strict, so she had called her in the middle of the night to complain. He was a little suspicious inside. He kept feeling that this was not what she had initially wanted to say.

However, the young lady seemed to have regretted again. She hesitated and did not want to tell him anymore. Although he was feeling very worried, he could not bear to force her to tell him. When she was willing to tell him, she would naturally tell him.

When the plane reached the capital, Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi followed Huo Ci home and separated from Jun Shiyan.

When she returned home this time, she could obviously feel that the way everyone at home looked at her was different from before. When they spoke to her, there was obvious flattery as well, which she was not used to.

“Mommy, don’t go that way.” Xiaoqi tugged at her secretly and pulled her back. He pointed at the railing by the side and lowered his voice mysteriously. “Grandpa said that we’re not allowed to go near that railing.”

Ling Sheng did not intend to get close either. However, why did her father stress that they were not allowed to get close to the railing? What was he up to?

Before she could figure it out, she heard a loud shout not far away from them. Shortly after, she saw Huo Xuan run over there like a wild horse without its reins. She instinctively tugged at her son and retreated into the room.
