Chapter 13 Mother and Child Are Safe

The people of Huo's village outside the carriage cheered in surprise: "It's born, it's born."

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Qian took the child in her hands and cried out in tears: "Miss! You gave birth to a little boy!"

The woman smiled weakly, tilted her head and fell asleep, without even having the chance to thank the man for saving her and her child's lives.

Du Wanwan helped cut the baby's umbilical cord, packed up the placenta and other items, and then got off the carriage.

The child was born safely, and the rest had nothing to do with her, so she could leave it to the money woman. She found Yao Meixian and asked for a basin of warm water to wash her hands.

While he was washing, the old clan leader Huo Sien came over and saluted him, "Little brother! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Today you saved two lives. Please accept my salute."

Just now, Du Wanwan went to the carriage to rescue people. He chatted with Du Jiang and found out about their family's origins.

Du Jiang is a real man. He told her everything except Du Wanwan's secret.

He even mentioned that the people in Dujia Village drove them out, saying that their son Dalang was a disaster and would not allow them to flee the famine with them.

As for why he said that his son Dalang was a disaster star, there was only one reason: Dalang was strong, smart and studious, and he could understand anything at a glance.

This is an unforgivable sin.

Huo Si'en immediately felt that the people of Dujia Village were blind: "Your Dalang is a genius, why are the people of Dujia Village so shameless? Are they jealous of the village's talented people? How pedantic!"

Du Jiang sighed bitterly: "There is nothing we can do. Our family is poor, and we finally have someone capable. If they want to bully us, we have to endure it."

Huo Sien patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, when you come to our Huojia Village, it will be just like coming to your own village. Your Dalang is a good child with a kind heart. He will be rewarded in the future."

Speaking of his daughter, Du Jiang's worries disappeared and he smiled: "Yes, my daughter Dalang is very special. The whole family is counting on her."

Du Wanwan was saluted by someone who was an elder, so she quickly reached out to hold Huo Sien: "Grandpa Huo! I'm a doctor, it's my duty to cure diseases and save lives! What's there to thank me for?

I haven't thanked you for taking us in yet. If anyone in the village has a headache or a fever in the future, feel free to come to me. We have come all the way together, after all, it is a fate."

Hearing such kind and honest words, Huo Si'en became more and more satisfied with Du Wanwan. He had just asked Du Jiang and found out that the child was seventeen years old and it was time for her to get married.

It’s just because the people in Dujia Village are prejudiced that the marriage has not yet been arranged.

This was an opportunity. Once they settled down, his granddaughter would be the perfect match for Dalang. The granddaughter was fourteen years old, and only one year away from coming of age.

Dalang was born with handsome eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. He was a rare good young man.

"Hey! I'll take note of that." Huo Sien didn't bother to be polite with Du Wanwan, "We have carpenters, bamboo craftsmen, gardeners, and private school teachers in Huojia Village, but no doctors. With you here, it will be convenient for the villagers to see a doctor."

Du Wanwan smiled and continued to wash her hands. It was a habit she developed in her previous life. She had to wash her hands after surgery and she couldn't change it.

Du Jiang chatted with Huo Sien. They didn't know what to talk about, but the more they talked, the more they got along.

Because the woman was giving birth, no one was in a hurry to leave. After Mrs. Qian had finished packing, Huo Si'en notified everyone to get up.

Yao Meixian walked beside her daughter who was pushing the cart and asked in confusion, "Dalang! When did you learn medicine? How come mother doesn't know?"

Du Wanwan looked at her and answered calmly, "It was those little animals who told me. Mom! Don't you know about me? I can chat with them.

The story of the legitimate pregnancy was told to me by Huahuagou from the village. Do you remember that year when Du Da’s wife had a difficult delivery? Huahuagou saw the midwife’s method and came back to tell me everything.

Du Jiang in the car pulled Yao Meixian's hand and said, "Don't always question Dalang. We all know the child's ability. Why are you asking nonsense questions?"

Yao Meixian nodded and didn't ask any further questions. Her daughter could indeed talk and chat with snakes, insects, rats, ants, chickens, ducks, geese, birds, pigs, dogs, cows and sheep.

It's normal to know things that ordinary people don't know. It's a good thing to know medical skills. There's no need to interrogate so clearly. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Qian looked at the young lady who was sleeping soundly and the little boy who was just born, and a happy smile appeared on her face as if she had survived a disaster.

Fortunately, the people in Huojia Village were open-minded. They took the master and servant in and took them with them to escape the famine.

As soon as we arrive in Liang County, people from the capital will come to pick us up.

They, the master and the servant, were not from the Wei Dynasty, but from southern Xinjiang.

The young lady is actually not a young lady, but the ninth princess of Southern Xinjiang, Yu Hanyan, and she is the princess’s wet nurse.

The princess had a quarrel with her husband Duan Zhengqing and opposed his marrying the singer Liu Chunchun. In anger, she left southern Xinjiang and traveled around.

It was only half a month after she was away that she discovered she was pregnant. The princess didn't want to go back just like that and wanted to wait for her husband to come out and find her. As a result, she waited for almost a year.

The princess was angry because her husband Duan Zhengqing didn't show up. She refused to go back and had originally planned to come to Wei to find a quiet place to spend a few years.

Unexpectedly, they were attacked by the northern bandits and had to flee with the people of Huojia Village.

The princess also encountered a difficult birth. If something really happened, how could she have the face to go back to Southern Xinjiang to see the queen? The Ninth Princess was the queen's most beloved daughter, otherwise she would not have been playing outside for so long.

Thinking of the previous dangers, Mrs. Qian was still frightened. Now that she saw that the Ninth Princess and her child were safe, she felt relieved.

When the sun was about to set, Chief Huo ordered everyone to rest on the spot. It was getting dark, and if they didn't find a place to stay, it would be difficult to find a place to stay later.

Someone came from the front and told them to stay where they were for the night, so Du Wanwan quickly parked the car.

The eldest brother Du Wenjun found some stones to fix the wheelbarrow to prevent it from tipping over. The second brother Du Wenguan helped Du Jiang down, and the third brother Du Wenhuo and Yao Meixian sat down to rest.

Then he got up and started taking out the pots and pans to prepare dinner.

Du Wanwan wanted to help but was stopped by Yao Meixian and her brothers. The meaning was very clear: as long as she was responsible for pushing the cart, she didn't need to do anything else.

She was also happy to have some free time, so she sat aside. Yaya took out millet and water to feed Aunt Hua and Xiaoqi.

Aunt Hua looked at the food in front of her, then glanced at Du Wanwan: "My benefactor! My wings are better now. From now on, Xiao Qi and I will find food for ourselves, and Xiao Mi will be left for you to eat."

Xiao Qi, however, rolled her brown eyes and stared at Xiaomi. Du Wanwan knew that she was hungry.

He sent the millet to Xiao Qi and said, "Eat! Now that you have eaten enough tonight, I will assign you a task. Go around and see how far the northern magpie is from us."

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up: "Okay! Okay! I'll leave right after I finish eating."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and began to peck, again and again, as fast as lightning. Aunt Hua looked at Xiao Qi, then at Du Wan Wan, and finally she also lowered her head and began to eat.

Du Wanwan looked at the two crows eating happily and a smile appeared in her eyes.
