Chapter 736 Begging for Help
Following Mr. Bu Ke's instructions, Li San Niang first asked Physician Ning for three days' leave, citing physical exhaustion and the need for rest as the reason.
Ning Yizheng granted her leave on the spot, after all, Li San Niang was indeed very thin, and the flesh on her cheeks had not grown back.
After getting three days off, Li San Niang first went back to the Li family with Qiu Xiang to visit Li's parents and Lu Zhu'er. In the late afternoon, they left the Li family in a carriage driven by Lao Shi and went out of Anhua Gate, heading towards the stronghold of the Bad People in the outer three cities.
They carefully treated the foreign man and Yuri in different ways for two days and three nights.
This time, treating Youli gave Li San Niang the opportunity to use those precious medicinal herbs. Not to mention ginseng and deer antler, she even managed to find a lot of Qingxin grass, which is rare even in the Western Regions.
Li San Niang thought that this time, Mr. Bu Ke probably used all the connections that the Bad Guys had hidden away, and it was even very likely that he had asked Emperor Wu for help.
After all, such a precious medicinal herb from the Western Regions as Qingxincao is only kept in the Imperial Medical Bureau of the palace.
The two sleeping beauties survived the three-day danger period, after which Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang returned to the drug rehabilitation center and came back at night.
Ten days later, Yuli's condition stabilized, and Li Sanniang only needed to visit him once every ten days.
Meanwhile, the foreign man became visibly excited. After Li Sanniang gave him acupuncture once, she never saw him again.
In the stillness of the night, Li Sanniang would think of this foreign man whom she had not only failed to save but had also hastened his death by administering acupuncture.
"No matter how you look at it, I have harmed people."
This kind of question is probably a death trap.
Li San Niang recalled a question her teacher had asked her in her medical ethics class when she was a student in modern times: "If a war breaks out and you encounter soldiers dressed as enemy soldiers in the logistics department, should you save them or not?"
Or, to put it another way, if you're in a city and both the criminal and the hostage fall to the ground, would you save the criminal?
Of course, the standard answer is that everyone should be saved, even enemy soldiers or criminals, if conditions permit.
When conditions do not permit, save the one with the highest chance of survival first, even if they are enemy soldiers or criminals.
Li San Niang lay on the bed with her eyes closed, trying to find reasons for her guilt.
"First of all, this is the Great Tang Dynasty. Those are pawns of foreigners who are trying to disrupt the peace and stability of the Great Tang Dynasty. They are bad people."
Secondly, I am just a doctor, and I have to obey Mr. Ke.
Mr. Ke asked me to do this; I have no right or qualification to say I should save people.
Third, he was poisoned by "Beauty's Intoxication," and the antidote requires many precious medicinal herbs, consuming a lot of resources.
I don't have that resource, and those who do refuse to save him.
Li San Niang, whose mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, finally managed to fall asleep.
Days flow by like water, moving forward one by one.
As more and more young women were recruited by the drug rehabilitation center on the outskirts of Beijing, Li Sanniang gradually found opportunities to call Yao Qingqing and Sun Chunlan in.
Yao Qingqing is alright, after all, she is already a married woman with two children.
Furthermore, Yao Qingqing's husband's family was in the pharmaceutical industry, and her husband's family owned a pharmacy. They were very supportive of Yao Qingqing working as a midwife and getting involved with Li Sanniang.
Therefore, after asking Yao Qingqing's wishes, Li San Niang called her over and kept her by her side, just like Ling Lan, so that she could personally teach her on a daily basis.
As for Sun Chunlan, she wasn't summoned by Li Sanniang; on the contrary, Sun Chunlan came to us herself.
That day was the day Li San Niang was to return home after her ten-day break. She was playing hide-and-seek with Lu Zhu in the courtyard when, unexpectedly, Sun the midwife arrived with Sun Chunlan and four gifts.
Sister-in-law Li, along with Xiao Liulang, called Luzhu'er to go out to the street to buy fruit juice. Only then did Li Sanniang and her mother sit in the main hall to receive Midwife Sun and Sun Chunlan.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the midwife Sun looked at Li San Niang with some embarrassment and said, "I'm bothering you today, San Niang, because I really have something to ask of you."
Li San Niang looked at the midwife Sun with suspicion, wanting to hear what difficulties she was facing, and why she had to use the phrase "begging for help."
After saying this, the midwife Sun remained silent and instead looked at Sun Chunlan beside her.
Sun Chunlan nodded gently to the midwife, and then without saying a word, she knelt down directly in front of Li Sanniang!
Li San Niang and Li's mother exchanged a surprised glance, quite alarmed. What kind of trouble had Sun Chunlan, the midwife, and her granddaughter encountered?
How complicated is this? Is it so complicated that we have to kneel down and beg for help?
Upon seeing this, Li San Niang's first reaction was to get up and step forward to help Sun Chunlan up.
At that time, the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty did not require people to kneel and kowtow every time they met Emperor Wu.
It should be noted that, apart from kneeling and bowing to deceased ancestors, people are only required to kneel and kowtow on certain very important occasions to show submission, obedience, and respect.
For ordinary people, bowing and clasping their hands is sufficient for daily greetings.
Let alone men, even women often expect people to kneel down.
But when Li Sanniang walked up to Sun Chunlan and extended her hand to her, Sun Chunlan still did not get up. She looked at Li Sanniang, as if she had made up her mind, and first kowtowed to Li Sanniang, then straightened up and said word by word, "Sir, it was Chunlan who was reckless."
Please take a seat, sir, and let me explain in detail.
Li San Niang was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she understood what Sun Chunlan meant. It was probably because Sun Chunlan's request was a very difficult thing, which was why she knelt down and did not get up.
Li San Niang disliked being morally blackmailed, and even more so, she disliked being forced into difficult situations.
She felt sorry for Sun Chunlan, who was a woman with a weak constitution and whose life was difficult. She was also a woman with a weak constitution (Chapter 276). She was afraid that her life would be difficult in this world. Fortunately, the Sun family was farsighted and was willing to spend money to teach Sun Chunlan to read. Sun Chunlan herself was also ambitious. So, after Li San Niang opened a midwifery school and she passed the exam, she was taken in as a student.
But this doesn't necessarily mean that Li San Niang is willing to keep making plans for Sun Chunlan, or that people will back down and compromise because of her pity for the young lady.
After a moment of surprise, Li San Niang returned to her seat at the head of the table and sat down again. She wanted to hear what Sun Chunlan wanted to ask.
"Sir, you are not only talented but also righteous. You have compassion for the hardships faced by women in the world. You have established a midwifery school, where you not only do not charge tuition but also do not have to perform the rites of discipleship. Chunlan admires such a magnanimous heart."
It is Chunlan's good fortune to be able to learn how to become a modern midwife in your school, and Chunlan thanks you, sir.
After saying this, Sun Chunlan solemnly and meticulously bowed to Li Sanniang, who was sitting at the head of the table.
"What Chunlan asked for today is that she is selfish. She is not satisfied with being in the teacher's school. She greedily wants to be like others and stay by the teacher's side. She wants to ask the teacher to be her teacher, so that she can learn from him like Fuling, Linglan and Yao, and become a female doctor in the future to relieve the pain of many women!"
