Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

"Priest! Priest! Are you awake?" Gantz shouted at the top of his voice as soon as the ox cart stopped.

Sifos jumped out of the car with his daughter in his arms and looked around the place.

It was a not very big wooden house with a yard surrounded by bamboo poles. On one side of the yard were the chicken coop and the cow pen, and on the other side was a simple shed with firewood inside, which seemed to be a place for cooking.

While Gantz was tying up the cow, the priest came out of the house wearing a coat and said, "I was awakened by you even though I was not fully asleep."

Even without the gorgeous and complicated clothes of yesterday, the old man still has a unique and convincing temperament.

Xu Weiwei felt that she was very similar to the witch named "Grandma Feng" in an animation she had watched before.

Gantz chuckled and said, "Priest, we've brought sister Wei'er to see you for treatment."

"come in."

After the old woman finished speaking, she went into the house and they followed her. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a strong smell of medicine.

A little girl was about to clear the dishes from the table. It looked like the two had just finished their meal. When she saw them, she smiled and said, "Wait a moment. I'll make you some tea."

The old woman pointed to a bed in the main room and said, "Put her there and let me see her."

Sifos gently put his daughter on the bed, and then observed that there was not only a bed in the living room, but also a large medicine cabinet, which should be the source of the smell. In front of the medicine cabinet was a dark table, on which was placed a scale with a tray, a small box, and some other small tools whose purpose was unknown.

Combined with the information he had learned before, he was not surprised that the priest was not only the spiritual pillar of the tribe, but also the most skilled doctor.

The old woman unbuttoned Xu Weiwei's shirt, and then fiddled with it over and over again, examining it, as if she was holding a doll instead of a baby. Sifos was terrified, with his exclamation marks getting bigger and bigger. He thought to himself: Is this really possible? Is this really okay? Why isn't she crying?

Although Sifos was now very skilled in holding the baby, his movements were always very careful and gentle. He strictly followed the doctor's instructions and did not dare to make any other innovations. But now seeing the priest fiddling with the baby, Sifos felt that his worldview had been refreshed.

Xu Weiwei was very calm, well-behaved and cooperative. She studied Chinese medicine and was very familiar with the process of "observation, smell, questioning and palpation". The old lady just looked at her complexion, tongue coating and body shape, listened to her breathing, and felt her radial artery and temporal artery. After this, the experienced old Chinese medicine practitioner could basically determine what kind of problem the patient had.

"It's too early to be born prematurely. How do you act as parents? Don't you know you should be more careful when the baby is older? And you knew it wouldn't come naturally, so you just did a cesarean section and delayed it for so long. Why didn't you just let her suffocate to death in your stomach?!" the old woman asked in an aggressive tone.

Gantz beside him didn't dare to breathe, and sympathized with Sifos: Uncle was scolded too badly...

Xu Weiwei couldn't help but look at Sifos worriedly. She wasn't worried about him, but she was afraid that he would break the old lady in an impulse: Calm down, Dad. She's so old, she can't withstand a punch from you...

Unexpectedly, Sifos did not show any emotion, but simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Yes, you are right. I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband and a father."

Seeing Sifos like this, Xu Weiwei was a little stunned. Thinking about her thoughts just now, she really shouldn't have done that...

The old woman did not dwell on it too much, but continued to ask about Xu Weiwei's condition: "She looks fine, but when I feel her pulse, it's beating like a raging wave, but in fact it's coming and going. You must have given her some strong medicine to sustain her life, right?"

"The priest has a keen eye," Siphos said admiringly.

"Before we set off, I was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on and die on the way, so I injected her with a special medicine. Speaking of which, this special medicine was obtained from the planet Goodall."

The priest looked inquiringly.

"These are the three cans of red liquid in bamboo tubes that you gave to Captain Scott when he returned." As Sifos said this, a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind. Red...

It’s Ula grass juice!

Obviously, the priest had thought of this, and said in astonishment: "The effect of Ula grass juice is so strong that we only dare to apply it on the surface of the body to let it penetrate slowly. How dare you give it directly to a child? Aren't you afraid of 'burning' her to death?!"

Sifos explained that it was diluted many times, and the priest was relieved. Then he took out a pen and began to write and draw on the notebook. Sifos glanced at it and it seemed that he was writing a prescription or a list.

After a while, the old man finally finished writing, and he made several revisions in the middle.

"Her condition will take at least a year to recover, but let me make it clear that I'm not going anywhere. As for whether you can stay that long, that's your problem."

Sifos agreed to this very readily: "No problem." As long as his daughter could be cured, he would be willing to persist for two, three, or even ten years, not to mention one year.

"I have one more condition."

The old woman raised her head and stared at Sifos sternly, saying, "You can't be present during the treatment, and you can't peek. If you break the rules, I can't continue to treat this disease. You should seek help from someone else."

Hearing this request, Sifos was very surprised and hesitant. What kind of treatment was it that he, as a father, couldn't know about?

Countless speculations flashed through Sifos' mind at once. Could it be that the process was extremely dangerous, or that the means were extremely cruel...

The old woman did not urge him, but waited quietly for Sifos to make a decision.

"Can you guarantee that this process is beneficial to Wei'er's health, does not pose any danger, and will not cause any side effects in the future?" asked Sifos.

"There is no treatment that is risk-free. Medicines are toxic to some extent."

"But I can guarantee that the risk is very small and the benefits to her will definitely outweigh the disadvantages," the old woman added.

After a long and difficult psychological struggle, Sifos finally compromised and said, "Okay."
