TFWYH – Chapter 474 Raising Homing Pigeons

“Then it’s settled. We can’t let it stay here and lead A-Chen astray!” Tang Wan nodded, then took the silver notes and left.

Ling Yu: …

No, I meant you should drive that male dog away!

How did it turn into bringing it with us?

For the first time, Ling Yu experienced what it meant to bring trouble upon himself.

Tang Wan had no idea about his frustration. As soon as she left the house, she went straight to the clinic.

Jishi Hall had already become the number one clinic in Xiangxi Town. Every day, patients came in an endless stream.

She had previously thought that during the disaster they had recruited so many doctors and medicine apprentices, and once the disaster passed these people would probably become idle.

But now, looking at the long line of patients in front of her, she felt she had worried for nothing.

With so many people waiting, even with all those doctors and apprentices, everyone was still rushing around in chaos.

Tang Wan went inside to help.

When Doctor Li and the others saw her arrive, they were very happy, and the pressure immediately lessened.

Actually, treating illnesses itself wasn’t the problem. The issue was that aside from Ye Shi, all the doctors there were men. When women came to treat women’s illnesses, they felt too embarrassed to consult the male doctors, so they only looked for Ye Shi.

Little Ye Shi was growing thinner day by day. Every morning she came before dawn and didn’t return until dusk.

After Tang Wan learned about this, she didn’t say anything at first. Only when all the patients had left and the clinic closed did she call Ye Shi over, telling her to take care of her health and that she was not allowed to push herself so hard in the future.

Ye Shi laughed cheerfully. “Sister Wan, I’m fine. I like treating people.”

“I know, but you should also understand that you’re still growing. If children don’t rest properly, it will affect their development.”

Ye Shi fell silent. She didn’t want to be treated like a child, and she hadn’t understood these things before.

But Tang Wan had told her that girls were only fully grown at eighteen, and that becoming pregnant at that age reduced the risks during childbirth.

Even if she didn’t want to, she could only agree for now.
“Sister Wan, I’ll pay attention in the future.”

“If there’s another time like this, you’re not allowed to come to the clinic anymore,” Tang Wan said, knowing the little tricks in her mind and cutting off any chance of her pretending to obey while secretly disobeying.

Sure enough, when Ye Shi heard that, she panicked and solemnly promised there absolutely wouldn’t be a next time.

After handling Ye Shi’s personal matter, Tang Wan told Doctor Li that she was going to the capital and wanted to open a clinic there.

Doctor Li had no objections. He even said that once the clinic in the capital opened, Tang Wan must let him go there to help.

He had no children and was already old. After so many years without ever leaving Xiangxi Town, he really wanted to go out and see the world.

Tang Wan supported the elderly man’s little hobby.

Doctor Li’s medical skills were good, and he was an honest person. If he wanted to go to the capital, then he could go.

It would also save her the trouble of finding another suitable manager.

After leaving the clinic, Tang Wan bought some food and clothing and went to the courtyard where the “Ye” group lived.

Ye Yi, Ye Er, and Ye San had followed Yuan Yuan to the capital. Ye Shi was helping at the clinic, and Ye Liu was with Ling Yue.

The remaining few were not idle either.

When Tang Wan arrived, Ye Si led her to the backyard.

There were more than thirty bird cages placed there, each containing a pigeon.

Some were kept alone, while some were kept together in groups.

“Sister Wan, earlier you asked Ye Yi to buy these pigeons. We train them every day. Look—these few that are kept separately can already fly to the capital,” Ye Si said, looking like she was waiting for praise.

Tang Wan had asked Ye Yi to purchase these pigeons so that they could send messages in the future.

In this era there were no communication devices. If they wanted to contact someone quickly, they could only rely on these little creatures.

Tang Wan inspected the pigeons one by one. They were all energetic and lively; it was obvious the Ye group had fed them well.

Suddenly, Tang Wan’s gaze stopped on one particular pigeon.
