Ghostly Fragrance [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]

Fangsu's Fragile Health

Fangsu woke up to the smell of burnt food, wrapping the blankets around her shoulder, following the smell into the kitchen. Fangsu's grandpa stood in the kitchen failing about in the kitchen with Ming Yue panicking as she pointed to the overflowing porridge. Seeing such a chaotic scene early in the morning making a laugh erupt from Fangsu's lips, catching the attention of the two people who were attempting to cooking food. Ming Yue rushed over to Fangsu, "Master! You're still unwell you must stay in bed!" Ming Yue tried to convince Fangsu who smiled and returned back to the comfortable warm bed.

A knock on the door. Fangsu's grandpa ran to the door, opening it to reveal a young woman with a veiled hat to hide their identity, "How is Fangsu's health? Any relapsing?" The woman took off her veiled hat and gave the old man a bag that had a very strong scent of medicine, which made the elder flinch at the smell.

The elder nodded, "Just last night, she relapsed because of the cold wind trying to save a family of cats," Placing the bag on a nearby table, he rushed to the kitchen once he smelt anything being burned. The doctor followed the old man into the kitchen where black smoke was being emitted from the pot and there was a pile of dirty pots and utensils in the sink of the kitchen.

The doctor could only laugh at the loveable actions of a grandpa who was trying to care for his sick granddaughter by cooking a meal, "Are you trying to cook?" Laughing at the horrible attempts of cooking evident from the burnt food on the bottom of the pot, "It looks more like you are cooking up a pot of poison," The young doctor teased the elder who could only sigh exhausted by the fact that women cooked, clean and looked after children at the same time without breaking a sweat.

The doctor helped the elder cook a simple meal for the sick people, plain egg congee with green onions. Slicing the green onions in pieces in small pieces. Putting a pot of water on the boil, the doctor added anchovies and kelp, removing them after 5 minutes. With some leftover cooked rice, the doctor stirred until the broth had boiled down. When the broth had boiled down, she added an egg to the broth, stirring right away until it was cooked. The doctor then added the green onions she chopped earlier, salt and sesame oil. With three bowls prepared, the doctor served the egg porridge, "Let's go see your granddaughter!" The doctor held a tray with the bowls of egg porridge as she walked to the room where Fangsu was playing with the cats. Tian was peering inside from an opened window along with Bai Xue.

Fangsu laughed at the air which was a normal sight for the doctor, "What did your spirit friend say to you that was so funny?" The doctor gave Fangsu a bowl of egg porridge.

Fangsu smiled, "She was worried about my health," Laughing again at the air which eating the egg porridge, "Doctor your egg porridge taste as good as ever," Fangsu left some she egg porridge unfinished, feeding it to the cats that were eagerly eating it.

The doctor examined Fangsu's health through her pulse, "Overall, your health is good but I have to remind you to be careful," The doctor advised with a concerned face, "Especially during the weather especially during winter and summer, and I think we will have to go back to your fortnightly doses." The doctor removed her hands, smiling. Looking at the amount of animal increasing around Fangsu had always amazed the doctor many times.

Fangsu sighed, knowing her health has regressed after the extended exposure in the winter chill, "Ok." Fangsu stared at the bright sun, startled by a squawk of a bird which was flying towards Fangsu. Fangsu extended her arm for the bird, who carefully landed on her arm as it was trying to take care not to harm Fangsu, "Hello again, what do you have me now?" Gently caressing the soft feathers of the bird, Fangsu took the letter that was on attached on the golden clasp.

Reading the letter, Fangsu smiled, "Grandpa can you write something for me?" Fangsu sweetly asked her grandpa who willing listened to her request.

Fangsu's grandpa left the room to grab the necessary items, immediately returning back with his hands full, "Who was the sender?" Fangsu's grandpa asked while writing up the letter to send back.
