It turns out that Hu Jinfei and his wife arrived in Qinghe Town three days ago.

After eating two bowls of noodles at Zhangji Spicy Noodle Restaurant, Hu Jinfei's wife, Zeng, experienced vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain upon returning home.

Hu Jinfei knew some martial arts and was in good physical condition, so his condition wasn't as serious as Zeng's.

At first, the couple thought the noodles were too spicy and their stomachs couldn't handle it, but they didn't expect that things wouldn't get better the next day, and Zeng even started to have a fever.

Hu Jinfei quickly found a doctor to treat Zeng. What was more serious was that Zeng was already one month pregnant and could not take ordinary medicine. So the doctor prescribed some mild medicine for Zeng.

It was only after being informed by the doctor that Hu Jinfei learned that many people had recently eaten spicy noodles and were experiencing the same symptoms. The doctor advised Hu Jinfei not to take Zeng Shi to eat spicy noodles anymore.

That's why we have this scene today, where Hu Jinfei is pinning Zhang's noodle stall owner to the ground and rubbing him against the ground.

When Hu Jinfei heard Lu Qiqi say that she knew medicine, he hesitated for a moment. After all, his wife was pregnant, and this matter could not be taken lightly.

Lu Qiqi took in Hu Jinfei's reaction and said, "You said your wife has had a high fever for two days and it won't go down. If it continues like this, she'll die!"

Lu Qiqi's words completely enlightened Hu Jinfei. He felt that since Lu Qiqi was so young and knew martial arts, she might really know medicine as she said!

Since he had no other options at the moment, he decided to give it a try and said, "Come with me!"

Lu Qiqi followed Hu Jinfei to the inn quickly, ignoring the woman hiding in the corner.

Lu Qiqi followed Hu Jinfei up to the second floor of the inn and headed straight for Zeng's room.

Hu Jinfei's reserved room was not facing the street, but was located at the very back of the courtyard building.

Hu Jinfei pushed open the door to the side room and walked towards the bed behind the screen, with Lu Qiqi immediately following.

"Huiniang, how are you?"

Lu Qiqi walked around the screen and saw Hu Jinfei lifting Zeng Shi from the bed and holding her in his arms, his movements gentle as if afraid of accidentally hurting the person in his arms.

Lu Qiqi took a few more steps and saw that Zeng Shi's face was covered in sweat, and she looked like she had been pulled out of the water.

Lu Qiqi said, "Uncle Hu, put Aunt down, I'll take her pulse."

Upon hearing this, Hu Jinfei released Zeng Shi, laid her flat on the bed, and tucked her in before leaving.

Seeing this, Lu Qiqi immediately wanted to rip off the blanket that was covering Zeng Shi so tightly.

Lu Qiqi sat on the bed, pulled one of Zeng's hands out from under the covers, and placed her right hand on Zeng's wrist to feel her pulse.

As Hu Jinfei said, Zeng was more than a month pregnant, but the situation was not optimistic.

Hu Jinfei saw Lu Qiqi's brows furrow slightly, then quickly relax. In that instant, if he hadn't had good eyesight, he wouldn't have had time to see it at all.

Hu Jinfei was eager to know how his wife was doing. He asked, "How is she?"

Lu Qiqi withdrew her hand from Zeng's wrist and pulled Zeng's blanket up to her chest, saying, "The situation is not optimistic. I'll write down a prescription, and you can ask the waiter to help get the medicine."

"Bring up some more warm water to wipe your aunt's body. She's covered in sweat under the covers and has a high fever. We need to bring her down first, otherwise even the mother won't survive, let alone the baby in her womb."

Upon hearing that his wife was on the verge of death, Hu Jinfei no longer questioned Lu Qiqi's medical skills. Even if Lu Qiqi asked him to go up the mountain to collect herbs right now, he wouldn't hesitate for a moment.

Lu Qiqi went downstairs, used the innkeeper's paper and pen to write down a prescription, and handed it to Hu Jinfei. Hu Jinfei begged the innkeeper for help.

The innkeeper, being in business, would certainly not refuse such a small favor, and immediately sent his most efficient waiter to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

Hu Jinfei asked for a basin of warm water, washed Zeng's body, and changed her into a clean set of clothes.

When Lu Qiqi asked the innkeeper for a pot of wine and brought it up, Hu Jinfei was just carrying water out to pour it out.

Hu Jinfei smelled the aroma of wine and said to Lu Qiqi, "Miss Lu, what are you doing with a pot of wine? Are you going to drink it?"

Lu Qiqi looked down at the wine pot in her hand and said, "Pour out the water first, and I'll tell you what to do later!"

Hu Jinfei poured water up, and Lu Qiqi sat on the bed with a set of silver needles beside her. She had them specially made after Lu Dahai was injured.

Lu Qiqi used alcohol to disinfect each silver needle that would be used. She said, "Uncle Hu, I'm going to give Auntie acupuncture and bloodletting so that her fever can be reduced as soon as possible."

Hu Jinfei had no idea what Lu Qiqi wanted; he felt like a fish being fried in oil.

Lu Qiqi told him to flip over whichever way, and he had to flip over that way, since his Hui Niang still needed Lu Qiqi to save her.

"good!"

With Hu Jinfei's permission, after disinfecting the silver needles, Lu Qiqi skillfully used the needles to insert them into the acupoints on Zeng's body.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Qiqi removed the silver needles, disinfected them, and put them back into her needle case.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Qiqi looked up at Hu Jinfei and said, "Uncle Hu, bring me a teacup. I need to bleed my aunt."

“Okay,” Hu Jinfei nodded in agreement and went to the tea table behind the screen to take a teacup with blue patterns and a white background.

Lu Qiqi took a slightly thicker silver needle, disinfected it with wine, grabbed Zeng's hand, placed it above the teacup, and forcefully stabbed Zeng's finger.

When Zeng was suddenly pricked by the silver needle, she instinctively recoiled in pain.

Lu Qiqi was prepared and would not let Zeng escape. She pulled out a silver needle and squeezed Zeng's finger hard, and drops of dark red blood dripped into the teacup.
