When this man ran over, his face was covered in sweat and he was panting. He looked extremely anxious, and his eyes swept around the people in the village.
"The Zhang family? The Zhang family's wife has been pregnant for more than nine months now. Her belly looks scary, with a pointed bottom. They say it might be a boy. It would be a pity if the baby died." The old man took a puff of the pipe in his hand and spoke with a frown.
The men in this village are not well educated, and none of them know medicine. If there is a cut on the body, just rub some wood ash on it and it will be fixed. Why bother with so much trouble?
As for whether the women in this village can give birth, it all depends on luck. If they are lucky, they can give birth and both the adult and the child can survive. If they are unlucky, they cannot give birth. In that case, there is nothing that can be done. It is a pity that the baby in the belly is gone. They can just bury it on the mountain and no one will know about it. It cannot be blamed on them. We can only blame the other party for having bad luck and being unlucky.
Anyway, it's impossible to take him to the hospital. If he goes to the hospital, they will have to check his household registration book and his identity. If the woman makes a fuss at that time, then everything will be ruined.
"That's right. Old Zhang finally got a wife like this, and he was just waiting to leave a family line. He has been looking forward to it for nine months, and the only thing missing was the marriage, but then this kind of thing happened." The man nodded and spoke with a worried look on his face. After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, Jiang Xia took a step forward and spoke.
"I have learned some medicine from a barefoot doctor before, why don't you let me give it a try?"
The old man listened to Jiang Xia's words and his eyes fell on Jiang Xia. He seemed to have not expected Jiang Xia to be so brave. Not only did he not cry or make a fuss after being tied here, but he actually listened to them and offered to help.
"Little girl, you are not up to any tricks, are you?" the old man spoke with a somewhat fierce tone.
"How dare I, uncle? I know I can't run away. There are so many people in your village. If I do something, you will find out immediately." Jiang Xia shook his head after hearing the old man's words. His body trembled, revealing a timid look. He looked very timid and would be frightened to tears at a glance.
The people in front of him looked at Jiang Xia and finally made a decision to take Jiang Xia over to give it a try.
Several people surrounded Jiang Xia one after another, making sure that Jiang Xia had no chance to escape. Jiang Xia took this opportunity to look around. There were more men than women in this village. Most of the men looked skinny and dark, with scary eyes.
The few women that could be seen sporadically had dull eyes and were walking with hungry children in their arms. Their clothes were dirty and their hair was messy like weeds. The men followed them all the time, never leaving their side.
Walking forward, Jiang Xia glanced and saw the yard of one of the villagers' houses. The gate of the yard was half open. There was no cow in the cowshed, but a woman was locked up. The woman was ragged and barely covered her body. She was tied to a pillar with an iron chain.
Flies, straw, and clutter were all around.
The moment Jiang Xia looked over, she also looked at Jiang Xia.
At this time, the old man who was leading Jiang Xia away smiled.
