Song Yu walked to the bedroom door with a fried egg and knocked.

Hearing a light cough from inside, Song Yu pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw a pool of dried blood beside the bed.

"Why are you vomiting blood?" Song Yu walked over quickly, and when passing by the dressing table, he put the dishes in his hand on the table.

She walked to the bedside and raised her hand to take the man's pulse. The pulse was normal. She then looked at his pupils, which also showed normal reactions.

She asked, "When did you vomit blood?"

The man said, "Last night."

Song Yu was shocked: "Why didn't you call me last night?"

The man lowered his head, his whole body exuding an air of guilt. He whispered, "I vomited blood last night. I'm too tired to speak."

Song Yu then asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "I feel better after vomiting."

Song Yu frowned slightly. Everyone said that she was a genius girl in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

But she knew that Chinese medicine had been passed down for thousands of years, and there were countless ancient Chinese medical prescriptions. What she had learned was just the basics.

Traditional Chinese medicine relies on accumulated experience. No matter how many Qianjin Fang and Treatise on Febrile Diseases she has memorized, she still needs to make special arrangements when she encounters a patient.

After all, not all patients get sick according to textbooks.

But she checked the man's physical condition and found that there was indeed no other problem. His heartbeat was regular and there was no sign of fever or infection.

Moreover, she had just touched it, and the meridians that she had simply reset for the man before seemed to have improved a lot.

Finally, she concluded that men's body recovery speed seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.

Even though he was injured so badly, I still spent money like water to save him.

The medicinal materials are used as if they were free.

But the speed of recovery also surprised her.

It’s a pity that there is no testing equipment here, otherwise, she would have wanted to take an X-ray of the man, draw his blood, and check him out.

It seems that she still needs more experience and practice.

Song Yu looked at the man and said, "You've recovered very quickly and very well, but you can't stop taking the medicine for the time being. I'll adjust your prescription. Eat your meal first, then take the previous dose. I'll change your prescription at noon."

The man nodded: "Okay."

Song Yu handed the fried eggs to the man and was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door.

Then came the cry: "Doctor Xiao Song, is Doctor Xiao Song here?"

Song Yu told the man: "You eat first, I'll go out and take a look."

Song Yu walked out and opened the door.

Standing at the door was a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a mouthful of big white teeth when he smiled.

"Doctor Song, you just got up?" The young man had bronze skin and the muscles in his arms were vigorous because he had been bending the bow for many years.

Song Yu knew the young man, and they were even quite familiar with each other. The young man's name was Liu Hu. He was a hunter in the village. He was a professional hunter and also a farmer. He was a very hardworking person.

He is the third child in his family with parents and brothers, and he has an older sister and an older brother.

My sister is married and lives in a neighboring village thirty kilometers away. She only comes back during the holidays.

Since his elder brother was an apprentice in town, he followed his father to learn hunting. His skills were very good and he basically never came back empty-handed after going into the mountains.

His father suffered from rheumatism for many years and his mother had poor eyesight. Song Yu prescribed symptomatic medicine for both of them. Although it could not cure the disease completely, the condition was greatly alleviated.

So, every time Liu Hu came back from hunting in the mountains, he would leave one for Song Yu, sometimes a pheasant, sometimes a hare.

Although Song Yu refused again and again, he still couldn't get out of it.

Liu Hu is twenty-three years old this year and still unmarried. I heard that the villagers have introduced many good girls to him, but they are not destined to be together.

Song Yu was not a fool. She could occasionally see some strange affection in Liu Hu's eyes when he looked at her, but she really didn't have any thoughts in that regard.

It’s just that we are all from the same village and we see each other every day. If you speak too bluntly and too harshly, you will probably have a hard time getting along in the village in the future.

"Brother Xiaohu, why are you here so early? Is there something wrong?" Song Yu asked.

Liu Hu chuckled and said, "I heard from my mother that you wanted to get a cat. I went into the mountains yesterday and caught a wild cat. When I came back yesterday, I knocked on your door but there was no response, so I brought it to you this morning."

"Wild cat?" Song Yu looked down at the basket on Liu Hu's arm. It was covered with a piece of cloth with some gaps at the edges.

Liu Hu picked up the basket and placed it in front of Song Yu. With his other hand, he lifted the cloth covering the basket.

An orange kitten appeared.

"Oh, so small? Not weaned yet?" Song Yu was surprised.

Liu Hu said: "It's not small anymore. Judging from its size, it's almost two months old. It can survive if we keep it."

Song Yu looked at Liu Hu and then at the kitten in the basket.

She reached out carefully and held the kitten in her palm.

The kitten was not shy and did not struggle. Instead, it stretched out its pink tongue and licked Song Yu's fingers.

Song Yu felt numb and tingling after being licked by it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

When Liu Hu saw it, his originally wheat-colored skin became two shades darker.

His eyes flickered and he looked away embarrassedly, but he couldn't help but look at Song Yu.

Song Yu held the cat in his arms, looked up at Liu Hu and asked, "Brother Xiaohu, how much is this cat? I'll give it to you."

When Liu Hu heard her words, his face immediately turned fierce and he said, "How can I take your money? Besides, it's just a wild cat. It's not worth anything at all."

After listening to this, Song Yu said, "Then wait for me." After that, he picked up the cat, ran into the yard, and entered the house.

She held the cat in one hand and rummaged through the cabinet in the main room with the other. After a while, she came out with a clay pot.

The pottery jar was only the size of a palm, and Song Yu could hold it with one hand.

She returned to the gate, handed the pot to Liu Hu and said, "The pills in here are for replenishing qi and blood. Give them to your aunt and let her take one a day. It's good for her health."

When Liu Hu saw what she handed over, his eyes looked a little lonely for a moment.

Song Yu's behavior clearly shows that he doesn't want to owe anyone a favor.

He gave her a cat, and she returned his medicine, and they owed each other nothing.

Liu Hu didn't want it, and Song Yu seemed to see it, so she said, "You don't want the money, and if you don't want the medicine, I won't take the cat either."

Liu Hu looked at Song Yu fiercely and saw the seriousness in her eyes.

Seeing her love for the kitten, Liu Hu hesitated for a moment and took the pottery jar.

Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Hu left with the medicine jar, his face showing no joy at all, only loneliness.

As for Song Yu, she held the kitten in her arms and couldn't let it go. If she wasn't worried about the parasites on the cat, she would have kissed it eight hundred times without stopping.

"I'll prescribe anthelmintic medicine for you in a while, and then go ask Aunt Zhang for some goat milk. You will be my cat from now on, so I have to give you a name. What should I name it?" Song Yu talked to the cat, not caring whether it could understand or not.
