Su Yu saw this and quickly pulled out a piece of soft bamboo paper from the pocket of her clothes, handing it to Xixi and softly said, "Here, use this to blow your nose."
Xixi obediently took it and, imitating the manner of adults, she carefully wiped her nose, which filled Su Yu with satisfaction.
There was a time when Xixi always liked to wipe her nose with her sleeve, but after Su Yu's patient teaching, she had finally formed the good habit of using a handkerchief.
Presently, the horse carriage came to a steady stop beside the station in Clear Water Town. Su Yu made proper arrangements for the carriage, tipped generously, and asked the station attendants to look after her horse to ensure it would have plenty of rest and food.
She knew that the medical treatment might last the entire day. How could a horse left unattended endure hunger and thirst?
Having taken care of everything, Su Yu took Xixi's little hand and walked leisurely towards Huichun Hall.
