After a round of examinations, the physician concluded that the boy had not injured his eyes and that the blood was from a sc.r.a.pe at the corner of one eye. However, there was an injury on the back of his head, and the physician speculated that the trauma could possibly affect his vision.

So youre saying that he might go blind? The hunters eyes widened in shock.

The physician nodded. Its possible, but any further diagnosis will have to wait until he wakes up.

At his words, the hunters wife offered, Since its getting dark, and this boy may only wake up tomorrow, would you mind staying the night in our house and examining him when he wakes up?

After all, the town was a ways off from here, and it would be a waste of energy and time for him to go back and forth.

Fortunately, the hunter had found one of the most compa.s.sionate physicians in town.

Seeing how severe the boys injuries were, he pondered for a moment before accepting her request. Then Ill have to trouble you tonight.

The hunters wife was overjoyed. Not at all! We cant thank you enough for agreeing to stay.

The physician stroked his beard. Clearly, this couple had kind hearts, and he loved befriending kind people the most.

I can see that your encounter with this young man was by chance, yet you were willing to take him in and help him find a physician. Youre good-hearted and virtuous people, and Heaven will reward you with good fortune in the future, he said sincerely.

He was not originally from the town. He had spent his youth traveling the world and had only settled down there a few years ago.

After encountering countless people throughout his life, he could tell at a glance that this couple had good hearts.

The hunter was a little embarra.s.sed by his compliment.

His wife smiled. Youre too kind, sir. We didnt really do anything.

As she spoke, the baby girl woke up and gave a small whimper, but did not cry.

It was as if she understood the situation she was in and restrained herself from crying.

The hunters wife quickly scooped her into her arms.

After drinking that bit of rice soup, the baby already seemed much healthier than she had been in the morning.

Her bright, black eyes stared at the hunters wife, seeming to study her.

The womans heart melted at the sight.

What a lovely child. Ive never seen such a beautiful baby before.

The hunters wife was starting to find it difficult to let go of the little girl.

Seeing this, the elderly physician smiled. It seems that you were fated to meet. Since you rescued her, you might as well consider taking her as your daughter.

His words spoke right to the womans heart, but she was still a little hesitant. But how can we take her for ourselves when her fathers still lying unconscious in bed?

Well, you can always take her as your G.o.ddaughter, the physician suggested. He could tell that this couple was childless, as he had yet to see any other form of human presence grace their cold, cheerless front yard.

The hunters wife was moved by the idea, but she still said, Lets not rush this. Well decide when the young man wakes up. Thinking of something, she hurriedly held out the baby girl to the physician. Could you also examine her pulse and check if shes injured anywhere?

The physician heeded her request and took the babys pulse.

After a while, he released his hold and said, This girls perfectly healthy, but I think shes hungry. You should get her something to eat.

Hearing this, the hunters wife exclaimed guiltily, Gosh, this muddled brain of mine! I was too caught up in our conversation! Thrusting the child into her husbands arms, she turned and headed off to prepare the food.

She had made some rice soup at noon, and had left it on the stove to keep it warm.

Soon, she returned with a bowl of rice soup, which she fed bit by bit to the baby.
