He reached out and gently touched Ye Taotao's cheek. He wondered if his fingers were too cold. The ice compress had an analgesic effect, and Ye Taotao felt that the pain was slightly relieved.
She sniffed and looked at the shark pitifully: "Do you have cavities?"
The shark's face was full of confusion: Tooth decay? What is that?
Seeing that the sharks were unable to solve the problem, Ye Taotao had no choice but to look for Bai Xin and Xiao Yan with tears in her eyes.
"Papa..." Ye Taotao ran to Bai Xin's side with her short legs. Ye Taotao stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, with tears in her eyes, "My teeth hurt so much."
Bai Xin was originally planning with Xiao Yan what to bring to the secret realm when he was suddenly grabbed by the little monster by the corner of his clothes. He was startled and quickly knelt down and looked at the little monster, "What's wrong with Taotao? Open your mouth and let me know."
have a look."
Ye Taotao moved away the hands covering her face and opened her mouth wide with "Ah", her little face was full of nervousness.
Could it be that she really has cavities?
Bai Xin lowered his head and inspected Ye Taotao's teeth carefully, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Ye Taotao with tears in his eyes, and showed a reassuring smile on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not eaten by moths." Bai Xin said, "It's just that you are growing teeth recently and you are a little angry. You should pay attention to cleaning your teeth in the future."
Ye Taotao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not just cavities, it's not like she had broken teeth at a young age.
In that case, you won’t be able to eat anything delicious in the future.
Xiao Yan also came over to take a look, and shook his head helplessly: "I was just thinking that you can eat something else after your teeth grow, and I forgot to urge you to clean your teeth. Fortunately, the problem is not big."
Bai Xin said: "Since you have a toothache, you shouldn't eat those steamed buns, spring rolls or anything like that recently. You'd better continue drinking milk soup."
"!!!" Ye Taotao's eyes widened for a moment, staring roundly at Bai Xin in disbelief.
Can’t eat meat buns? No!
Just as she was about to speak, her teeth started to hurt again, causing her to hiss and gasp, unable to say anything.
Woo woo woo...
Tears flashed in her crimson eyes, and Ye Taotao looked at Bai Xin accusingly.
"What? You have such a toothache and you still want to eat?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Ye Taotao took a few breaths of air-conditioning before speaking vaguely: "Do you have any cavities? Do you want to eat..."
Bai Xin said: "Although there are no cavities now, if you don't pay attention to it, you may have it in the future."
"Ugh..." I was about to cry.
Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to hold Ye Taotao's soft little cheek, rubbed it, and said: "Okay, don't be afraid, Zai Zai, I will refine some elixirs for you, which will cool you down and reduce swelling. It will stop hurting after a while.
Can I buy some more for you to eat?"
Ye Taotao reluctantly nodded, but she still said in a sweet voice: "Don't rub my face anymore, it won't look good."
"Really?" Xiao Yan let go of his hand and pretended to look at the little monster, "It seems a bit."
"Ugh..." Tears flashed in his eyes and were about to fall.
Bai Xin stepped forward, pushed Xiao Yan away with disgust, looked at the little monster who was about to cry seriously, and hurriedly comforted him: "No, no, he has not become ugly, he is talking nonsense."
Ye Taotao felt aggrieved: "Really?"
Bai Xin said loudly: "Really!"
Ye Taotao reluctantly believed it: "Okay then."
*
Xiao Yan stopped refining the spirit-gathering pill and started refining a pill that Ye Taotao could eat. However, no alchemist had ever tried this before, and it would take some time for him to just explore.
Toothache is not considered a disease, but the pain really makes it difficult to eat or sleep.
With tears in her eyes, Ye Taotao was restless from morning to afternoon. She was always a glutton, but she didn't even eat much for lunch this time, which made Bai Xin feel very anxious.
In the evening, Xiao Yan, who had been trying for a whole day, finally refined a batch of light blue pills.
"Come on, Zaizai, try it. Will it make you feel better after eating this?" Xiao Yan handed Ye Taotao a pill and looked at her expectantly.
Ye Taotao put the elixir under her nose and smelled it. A faint fragrance penetrated her nasal cavity, a bit like grass and a bit like mint, refreshing and cool.
Because the tooth hurt so much, she put the elixir into her mouth without much hesitation.
A medicinal fragrance spreads in the mouth, with a slight cooling effect, which instantly makes the originally swollen and painful gums much more comfortable.
But after a while, Ye Taotao's entire little face wrinkled up again.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it work?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise. Logically speaking, it should be able to reduce swelling and relieve pain.
"Bah, bah, bah!" Unable to bear the increasingly intense bitter taste, Ye Taotao spit out the elixir quickly and looked at Xiao Yan with an aggrieved look, "Bitter!"
It was really bitter. Even if she spit it out, she could still feel the bitter taste, as if her entire tongue was wrapped in the bitter taste.
Bai Xin quickly poured a glass of water for Ye Taotao, "Taotao drink water."
While taking care of the little monster to drink water, he looked at Xiao Yan dissatisfied, with a hint of complaint in his tone: "You have been struggling for so long and you just came up with this thing?"
Xiao Yan touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "As for the new elixir, we don't have a prescription yet. We have to explore slowly."
"You took Taotao to test the medicine?" Bai Xin was slightly stunned.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "We are the only ones here. No one has a toothache except her."
Ye Taotao drank some water, which finally diluted the bitter taste in her mouth. She quickly reached out and grabbed Bai Xin, who looked angry, and said, "Daddy, I don't feel that much pain anymore."
Bai Xin's face looked better now.
"The fact that it doesn't hurt means there's nothing wrong with the recipe," Xiao Yan said. "I'll change it later to make it taste better."
Ye Taotao nodded: "Thank you, brother."
Xiao Yan had been busy refining medicine for herself for a long time, and she didn't even eat lunch. She also saw this.
Therefore, she knew that Xiao Yan probably did not intentionally make the elixir so bitter.
"How good." Xiao Yan said with a smile, took the remaining pills and continued to study them, without mentioning eating.
Bai Xin, on the other hand, went out for a walk and bought back a box of tooth powder for cleaning teeth, and taught Ye Taotao how to use tooth powder to clean teeth.
Ye Taotao took a toothbrush made of willow branches and soft bristles, followed Bai Xin's movements, dipped it in tooth powder, and cleaned her teeth carefully.
At dinner, Bai Xin specially prepared a pot of fragrant milk soup for her, which was filled with licorice that can clear away heat and relieve fire. It had a faint sweetness, and Ye Taotao drank it all despite her toothache.
After all, she didn't have a good lunch or breakfast, and she was really hungry now.
It was not until before going to bed that Xiao Yan came to Ye Taotao again with the improved elixir.
