Chapter 40 Rescue
Fu Yue pouted, her expression inconsistent with her little servant's attire.
"Sir, why bother feeding these little brats? They obviously look down on doctors!"
Song Zijin smiled with relief, obviously not caring.
"Sir, aren't you angry?"
"I'm not angry." Song Zijin shook his head, "We have overlooked a problem these past two days."
"What?"
"A clinic is supposed to heal illnesses and save lives. If everyone were healthy, the clinic wouldn't be as crowded as we imagine."
Fu Yue thought about it and realized it was true!
Just then, there was a commotion not far away.
Fu Yue was a person who loved to join in the fun. He ran over like a rabbit and came back in a moment.
"Sir, something's wrong with a pregnant woman!"
When Song Zijin heard this, he quickly ran towards the crowd.
When she pushed through the crowd, she discovered a pregnant woman bleeding profusely. Her pomegranate skirt had been soaked into a dark red, and amniotic fluid mixed with blood foam was dripping, forming red plum blossoms on the bluestone slabs.
"What's going on?"
The pregnant woman's husband seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and cried for help from Song Zijin.
"Doctor, please come and see my wife! She suddenly started bleeding. I carried her to Huichuntang, but the doctor there said it was a women's disease and they couldn't treat it, so I wanted to take her to the Women's Clinic. Just as we were walking there, she suddenly fainted..."
The people whispered.
Women's diseases are a big taboo, and male doctors in the folk are rarely willing to treat women's diseases, otherwise it will cause gossip.
Song Zijin quickly squatted down and placed three jade fingers on the woman's wrist. "It's not her illness. Her water broke, which is clearly a sign of labor. But this time it's twins, and the fetuses are in a transverse position. The placenta broke first, which is very dangerous."
The man was stunned when he heard this, and was overwhelmed by great joy. "Twins! Twins! Is there any hope for my wife?"
Song Zijin was in a state of confusion. He recalled what his mother had said about the factors of production and forced himself to calm down.
"She can be saved, but she has lost too much blood and is no longer fit to be moved."
After saying that, he turned to look at Fu Yue, "Go back to the clinic and get some ginseng, my golden needles, and two bundles of silk! Also, ask Uncle Qian to boil some hot water! Oh, and call Xiao Yue."
Song Zijin emphasized the word "Xiao Yue", and Fu Yue understood it immediately.
Fu Yue always did whatever her daughter said, so she quickly ran back to the clinic.
The people around him obviously did not approve of the man's behavior and tried to persuade him.
"This doctor is a man. Do you want your wife to be thrown into a pig cage after giving birth?"
"Yes, yes. Even Huichuntang doesn't dare to treat this disease. How can this little doctor who popped up out of nowhere treat it?"
When the man heard this, his face turned pale. He was so anxious that he forgot about these two things.
"Doctor...do you have a midwife in your clinic?"
Song Zijin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. After living for more than ten years, this was the first time she realized that she also had a bad temper.
"The doctor at Huichun Hall doesn't dare to take the baby. You should understand how big the risk is for this pregnancy. What's the point of calling a midwife? Are you going to pull the baby out alive?"
Because I was too excited, I broke off my voice in a few words.
The man was obviously someone who had been yelled at too often, so his arrogance immediately dissipated and he quickly begged for mercy: "Then please, doctor, save my wife and child!"
Song Zijin slowly exhaled, stood up and directed everyone to form a circle.
Some people looked down on her as a newcomer and refused to cooperate, so the man knelt down and kowtowed.
When Fu Yue came back with the things, a simple circle had already been set up.
Fu Yue changed into women's clothes, and the man felt much more relaxed when he saw her.
Two bundles of plain silk were quickly unfolded, surrounding the woman in the middle, forming a temporary delivery room.
At this time, there were still people who didn't believe that Song Zijin was better than the doctors in Huichuntang, and they were making sarcastic remarks. Song Zijin suddenly glared at them.
"If you keep talking nonsense, be careful of my golden needles!"
The golden needles were a little dazzling in the sunlight, and the man shrank his neck and left quickly.
Song Zijin finally calmed down, and she planned to use the method of acupuncture with golden needles.
The three-inch golden needle accurately pierced the Zhiyin and Kunlun acupoints, and the outline of the fetus slowly returned to normal on the top of the woman's abdomen. The woman's belly became visibly flatter.
The man was extremely excited, his eyes were red, but he didn't dare to scream and interrupt Song Zijin.
At this time, Song Zijin directed Fu Yue to stuff a piece of ginseng into the woman's mouth. Within a few breaths, the woman woke up.
Song Zijin turned around and ordered Fu Yue to help the woman deliver the baby step by step according to her instructions.
It was not until the cry of a baby broke the silence that the disaster was finally averted.
Fu Yue did not dare to delay and concentrated on delivering the other child.
It was her first time doing this, and she was not afraid at all; she was actually a little excited.
The man knelt down to thank Song Zijin for her great kindness, and those who had looked down on her before also smiled and spoke words of praise.
What kind of contemporary miracle doctor, the reincarnation of Bian Que...
But no one cared about the woman who almost lost her life because of prejudice.
Song Zijin felt powerless. Life was really hard for women.
She helped the man up and, taking advantage of the crowd, said to them, "Our Yuli Clinic can not only treat men, but also women."
The crowd was in an uproar again. If the disease could be cured as well, how could a man be willing to lower his status and stay in the same clinic with a woman?
Song Zijin did not regret what he blurted out.
"A doctor's heart is full of compassion. If I treat the nobles and dignitaries for a little money, would you be willing?"
"Of course not!" everyone said in unison.
"So, our clinic is just upholding a kind heart. We treat patients according to their numbers, regardless of whether they are men or women, or high-ranking officials or nobles!"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
These remarks spread like wildfire on the street, and people were everywhere discussing Yu Li Clinic.
In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse diagonally opposite the clinic, the copper bell under the eaves shook slightly but made no sound.
Song Zijin felt a burning gaze and looked up, only to see the indigo curtains on the opposite side shaking.
Xiao Linyuan hid behind the wall, a smile secretly appearing on the corner of his lips.
It was the relief of seeing her remain calm in the face of danger, but also the self-mockery of hiding here and peeping.
Even the mighty King Jinyue could do such a thing.
This teahouse is owned by the royal palace, so there is no danger of him being discovered when he comes here.
Wang Ge knocked on the door and came in, "Your Highness, there's a letter from the palace asking you to come to the palace to attend the palace banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival."
The smile stopped abruptly.
"Do you need an excuse to turn it down?"
After all, the Gu master hasn't found out who it is yet. If it happens again, it might be dangerous.
No matter how strong your physique is, it cannot withstand repeated torture.
Xiao Linyuan shook his head. "Last time, it might have just been a test from the Emperor. He'd already proven that the Zi Gu would work, and he was relieved. Now that he's in Jinyue Prefecture, he can't get involved at all. He wouldn't kill me openly at this moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the cubicle door.
"Who?" Wang Ge subconsciously touched the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Of course it's the young master who's here~"
