Chapter 207 Why don't you two stay for a meal?
"Doctor Wei!"
At this time, Doctor Wei was sitting by the door, his lips were bloodless and his face was pale. Some herbs were scattered by the door. Gu Qinghan hurried forward and touched his forehead, feeling it was burning hot.
"Gu boy, cough cough...how did you get in?" Hearing someone calling him, Doctor Wei opened his eyes and said weakly.
"Doctor Wei, why are you sitting at the door? It's so cold here."
"I accidentally fell asleep. I wanted to get some herbs to make medicine, but I felt a little dizzy, so I sat down to relax."
"Gu boy, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Doctor Wei, I originally wanted to ask you to check on my father's legs, but seeing how you are, let's talk about it later."
"I'll help you up."
"How is your father, cough cough...? Help me up, I'll let you take a look? Cough cough..."
"Doctor Wei, no need. My father is not seriously ill. I just feel worried and want you to come over to take a look. You should recover first."
Gu Qinghan helped Doctor Wei into his room and let him lie on the bed. He picked up the firewood placed near the door and lit a fire on the bed.
"Doctor Wei, please lie down for a while."
"Are you going to use the herbs on the ground outside to make a stew?"
Gu Qinghan added some firewood into the earthen kang, then moved the stone slab placed aside and covered the fire mouth.
"Yes, cough cough cough...those are all. Sorry to bother you, little Gu." Doctor Wei thanked Gu Qinghan and told him the amount of water.
"Gu kid, ahem... go to the shelf and get ahem... some gauze from outside and put some snow inside... ahem... apply it to my forehead."
Doctor Wei pointed to a shelf elsewhere in the room and spoke to Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan quickly took a gauze and ran out the door, and opened the wooden door that was locked from the inside.
Gu Qingming walked on the car outside, staring at the gate of the courtyard and listening to the movement inside.
As soon as the door opened, he jumped out of the car and ran in.
"Brother, what happened to Grandpa Wei? Is he alright?"
Seeing his eldest brother squatting on the ground and putting snow into the gauze, he was a little puzzled, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Why don't you see Grandpa Wei?"
"Take this bag of gauze full of snow to Doctor Wei. He's in the room. Take him down for a while. I'll go make the medicine."
"Okay, I got it. Leave it to me."
Gu Qingming finally knew what happened to Grandpa Wei.
He took the wrapped gauze and ran into Doctor Wei's room. Gu Qinghan rubbed his fingers, picked up the herbs on the ground, and walked to the stove.
Fortunately, there was still fire in the stove and some hot water in the pot. There was also a stove specially used for boiling medicine, and there was another stove on the other side with fire, but the fire was almost out. The clay pot should be boiling something. Gu Qinghan opened it and took a look. It was a full pot of water with some very ordinary medicinal herbs floating on it. It seemed that they had just been prepared. He lit the fire in the stoves on both sides, threw the herbs into the clay pot, added a bowl of water, covered it, and let it boil.
Gu Qinghan brought two bowls, picked up a ladle, scooped a spoonful of hot water into the bowls, and took them to Doctor Wei's room.
······
"Grandpa Wei, drink slowly, it's a little hot."
Doctor Wei took a sip of the hot medicine. Gu Qingming sat beside Doctor Wei's bed and wiped the corners of Doctor Wei's mouth with a handkerchief in her small hand.
"understood."
"Meow."
"Meow~"
The two kittens also called out to Grandpa Wei a few times.
"This is?"
After Doctor Wei drank the medicine, his throat was no longer so dry, and his voice was finally a little louder and clearer.
"Grandpa Wei, this is Wugu, and that is Wudong. They are kittens my brother picked up."
"okay."
Doctor Wei looked at the two kittens crawling on the ground, and asked curiously, "Are they male or female?"
Gu Qinghan: "One male and one female."
"That's great. You can have kittens in the future."
"I'm really sorry to bother you today." Doctor Wei looked at the Gu Qinghan brothers standing beside him.
"Grandpa Wei, it's a good thing we came to see you today, otherwise what would you do?"
"Haha, it's okay. I just happened to meet you guys."
"Qinghan, is your father really okay? I'm feeling better now and can go see him." Doctor Wei was still worried about the reason why Gu Qinghan came just now, so he asked again.
"It's okay. You should recover from your illness first."
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here, you guys go back first."
"Doctor Wei, wait a moment. The soup in the other pot should be ready. I'll serve you a bowl."
He turned and left the room, heading towards the kitchen.
Gu Qingming was a little worried: "Grandpa Wei, you are sick, how can you do it alone?"
"A Ming, don't worry. I'm a doctor. I know the condition of my body."
Gu Qingming shook his head: "No, I can't leave you alone."
After thinking about it, he thought of Uncle Wang, whose home was not far from here. "Grandpa Wei, I'll tell Grandpa Wang later and ask him to come over to see you later."
Doctor Wei waved his hand and said, "No, that would be too much trouble. I won't trouble you anymore."
Gu Qingming didn't answer, just shook his head.
"Oh, this kid."
Seeing that his explanation didn't make sense, he stopped talking nonsense with Gu Qingming.
Soon, Gu Qinghan brought a bowl of soup full of chicken, "Doctor Wei, your chicken soup is ready, try it."
"That's thoughtful, Qinghan."
Seeing three bowls stacked on the table, Gu Qinghan picked them up and went out again.
Doctor Wei took it, picked up a piece of chicken and fed it to Gu Qingming, who was desperately sniffing the aroma of chicken soup, "Qingming, come, have a piece."
"It's delicious, thank you Grandpa Wei." Gu Qingming ate a piece of chicken as he wished and was very satisfied.
The two kittens lying on the ground smelled the fragrance, and they crawled to the side of Doctor Wei's bed, sat up, looked up and meowed at Doctor Wei on the bed, looking at him with their big round eyes, looking very cute.
"Okay, okay, Wugu Wudong, right? You all should have a share." After saying that, Doctor Wei picked up two pieces of chicken and threw them in front of the two kittens.
"Doctor Wei, you're too pampered with them."
When Gu Qinghan walked in, he saw two kittens standing in a row, eating the chicken on the ground with their heads down.
"It's a rare opportunity, so it's okay."
"Qinghan, take Qingming with you, and both of you go have a drink too."
Doctor Wei didn't expect to try adding some medicinal herbs into the dish, and the taste turned out to be quite good.
"No need, let's go back first."
"That's right. Talk to your father. Don't make him wait too long. If you still feel uncomfortable, come to me. My illness is nothing serious."
"it is good."
······
Left the door of Doctor Wei's house.
"Brother, please go to Grandpa Wang's house. I'm really worried about Grandpa Wei being sick at home alone."
"Ah."
Gu Qinghan had the same idea. After all, his father's injury could not be delayed. However, Doctor Wei was ill, and he felt embarrassed to trouble him to come to his house to see a doctor. However, a sick person still needs someone to take care of him, and even a doctor cannot treat himself.
Uncle Wang is the most suitable candidate. After all, the two of them are friends and their homes are close, so it would be nice to let Uncle Wang come over to visit from time to time.
"what?"
"Is Old Wei sick? This guy has a day like this. He is usually in good health. I haven't visited him for a few days and he is sick now? Sigh."
Uncle Wang was muttering to himself as he stir-fried the vegetables in the pot.
"Qinghan, it's all thanks to you that you went to look for him today. I know what happened and I will go to check on him. Is Old Gu okay? If not, I will carry Old Wei on my back to your father for you to have a look."
"It's okay. Let Doctor Wei recover first. Uncle Wang, we'll be leaving first." Gu Qinghan took Gu Qingming's hand and turned to leave.
"Hey, I've already cooked some food, why don't you two stay and eat something?"
"We came here after we had eaten, so we won't eat anymore." Gu Qinghan replied and winked at Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming was also smart and responded repeatedly, "Grandpa Wang, I'm still full now. Let's go. We'll come to see you next time."
