Chapter 724 Eye Examination
After leaving the space, Hong Xiaoduo lay on the bed fully clothed, thinking about many things.
Old Luo said a lot, and mentioned again that his grandfather died with his eyes open. Hong Xiaoduo knew that he said these things simply out of remorse for her.
Hong Xiaoduo isn't a saint, but she's actually stopped blaming Old Man Luo and the others a long time ago.
To be honest, even if Old Luo knew the purpose behind his grandfather's painstaking efforts in creating this teleportation pod, and had told Hong Xiaoduo the truth when they met, Hong Xiaoduo felt that she probably wouldn't have agreed.
Even though she didn't have a complete family in modern times, and even though there were many bad things happening in modern times, she never developed pessimistic or world-weary thoughts.
Before meeting her, no one had ever used the teleportation pod that Old Luo and his group used. Whether it would fail during use, what kind of unexpected events would occur, or whether they could return to the modern world after completing the mission were all unknown. Therefore, she would never take the risk.
But now, she has decided to stay.
There are people here who care about her, and people she can't let go of either!
Since she has a choice about where to live, she should naturally choose a place where she can live freely, happily, and joyfully.
When she told Old Man Luo about her decision, he didn't seem surprised. He just asked her, in a gossipy way, if it was because of love.
She answered no, not out of embarrassment, but out of the truth, because that was the reality. The reason she decided to stay and not return to the modern world was not just for one person.
She didn't know if she would be able to be with Murong Jing in the future, but she did know that she liked being here and liked her current life.
Old Luo didn't try to dissuade her from staying, nor did he say anything. He simply told her that he would temporarily seal up the teleportation pod.
If she ever changes her mind and wants to return to the modern world, she can tell him, provided he is still alive.
Old Luo said that he did not intend to leave this teleportation pod to his descendants, because he could not guarantee what kind of things would happen if it were discovered by someone with ill intentions.
He also said that, for now, his health is good enough to live another ten or eight years without any problem.
But life is unpredictable. So, if one day in the future Hong Xiaoduo regrets her decision and wants to return to the modern world, and leaves him a message but receives no response, it means he is no longer alive, or perhaps he has dementia and can no longer help her.
Old Luo said that if such a thing really happened, please don't hold a grudge or blame him.
Thinking of this, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but smile. Since she had chosen to stay, how could she change her mind?
Besides, she didn't choose to stay only for love. When the person she loved changed their mind, she became disheartened and wanted to escape.
She had already set up the doctor in the space, and she would only know if Tian Shu's mother could be cured after being examined by tomorrow morning.
Well, after staying here, I don't plan to settle down for the time being. If I continue to travel around, then I'll really be using the so-called name of a deadly demon.
The name "Deadly Rakshasa" sounds very imposing, but it doesn't seem like the kind of person a good person would be!
……
On her first day at Tian Shu's house, Hong Xiaoduo was too embarrassed to sleep in. As soon as she got up, a maid gently asked her questions outside the door.
As soon as the door opened, a maid entered the room, bringing water for washing and tidying the bed. Just as she was about to go forward to comb Feiyan's hair, Feiyan beat her to it.
"And you, can't you take a break? Why are you fighting over things?" Hong Xiaoduo whispered to Feiyan.
Feiyan remained silent, smiling as she combed Hong Xiaoduo's hair. No matter where she went, as long as she was there, no one could take her away from her.
As soon as the shiny black braids were finished, Tian Shu and the other kids rushed into the house in a swarm.
“Actually, you don’t have to get up so early,” Tian Shu said, stepping forward.
"Hmm, I'll sleep in tomorrow. Today isn't the first day, and besides, I need to get your mother's eyes checked, so I got up." Hong Xiaoduo said, glancing at Tian Shu's clothes today. It was a brand new robe, though the stitching wasn't very neat.
"This is a robe that my mother started sewing for me by hand as soon as she found out she had found me." Tian Shu's eyes reddened as he spoke.
Hong Xiaoduo understood; no wonder.
Breakfast was quite lavish. Hong Xiaoduo took a bite and then looked at Tianxuan. Needless to say, Tianxuan had made this breakfast.
Tian Shu's father went to run errands early in the morning, and Tian Shu's mother ate breakfast with him.
After having breakfast, Hong Xiaoduo asked Tian Shu to invite his mother to her room.
Although Hong Xiaoduo didn't explicitly say what she was going to do, Tian Shu knew what she was doing and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Mother, she asked a friend to examine your eyes, but her friend can't make a public appearance, so..." Tian Shu walked to his mother's side and whispered in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Madam Wen immediately understood her son's meaning and ordered that the two maids who served her should not follow her.
Tian Shu helped his mother into the room with Hong Xiaoduo. He told his mother that he would wait outside the door, then glanced at Hong Xiaoduo before leaving and closing the door behind him.
Tianji and the others didn't ask any more questions. They automatically dispersed and stood guard at the windows and on the porch outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing what was happening inside.
Inside the room, Hong Xiaoduo asked Wen Shi to sit down, and then called the doctor from the space to come out.
As expected, when the doctor emerged from the space in the form of a woman, her hairstyle and clothing automatically changed to ancient styles.
The female doctor carefully examined the patient with the testing equipment and immediately told Hong Xiaoduo the results. She explained that Wen's blindness was caused by long-term grief damaging the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. She said that acupuncture combined with nerve-nourishing medication was needed, and that her vision would generally recover in about three days.
The female doctor didn't hide her words from Ms. Wen, so she heard them very clearly. She was incredibly excited but didn't know what to say, and even felt like she might be dreaming.
"Madam, shall we start the acupuncture now? Or shall we wait for Lord Luo to return and discuss it with him before deciding?" Hong Xiaoduo asked Madam Wen for her opinion.
“There’s no need to wait for him to come back, and no need to discuss it. I trust you, Miss Hong, and I trust your friends,” Madam Wen said impatiently.
Before Hong Xiaoduo could respond, Madam Wen continued, "I can sign and put my fingerprint on this document. If anything goes wrong or there's any issue, it will have nothing to do with Miss Hong or your friend. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, the female doctor also spoke up, "Madam, there's no need for that. There's no danger in administering acupuncture to someone in your condition. Just relax and cooperate, and it will be over in a little while."
The doctor's words put Wen at ease, but Hong Xiaoduo was very curious. Wasn't it a robot? Could it only go this far? It could even interject appropriately?
In less than fifteen minutes, the robot doctor removed the needle and gave Hong Xiaoduo the prescription, which included instructions on how to prepare the medicine and precautions for taking it.
After watching the doctor enter the space, Hong Xiaoduo opened the door and saw Tian Shu looking over anxiously. She smiled and nodded at him.
“Mother.” Tian Shu understood that Hong Xiaoduo meant there was hope for her mother’s eyesight to be restored, and happily stepped forward to take her hand.
At this moment, Lord Luo's mother also arrived. Hong Xiaoduo briefly explained Wen's situation to her. Upon learning that her daughter-in-law might regain her sight, the old lady was overjoyed. She quickly accepted the prescription handed over by Hong Xiaoduo and ordered the steward to personally fetch the medicine.
Although she was very curious as to why Hong Xiaoniangzi had arrived this morning and examined her daughter-in-law after just mentioning last night that she would find a doctor to take a look, the old lady did not forget to carefully instruct her son and grandson not to ask any questions about Hong Xiaoniangzi's actions, no matter how curious they were.
Watching the mother and son walking ahead, supporting each other, the old lady shed tears of relief and whispered to Hong Xiaoduo, "Now that Xiao Wu has been found, his mother's eyesight has been restored. I wonder where Cheng'er is. If he finds out, he should come back too. Sigh, although one shouldn't be too greedy, I still want my family to be reunited!"
Hong Xiaoduo was right next to the old lady, so she heard everything clearly and felt very sorry that Tian Shu's older brother would not be coming back.
However, what she could do was tell the Luo family that the matter of Tian Shu's eldest brother, Luo Qicheng, was not that he couldn't find his younger brother and was ashamed to go home to face them.
Hong Xiaoduo decided that she would tell Tian Shu's father when he returned...
