After resting for an hour, they continued on their journey. On the fourth day, they unexpectedly met Ah Zi who was driving an ox cart.
She was covered in dust and dirt. When she saw Qiu Yinong and her group, she was stunned at first, then the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Hmph, wait until I find the county lady and the prince, and see how long you can be so proud." She knew best why her master came back to live in the town.
Which of those powerful people does not pursue fame and fortune?
Now that she can offer advice and has medical skills, if she stays by the county lord's side to serve him, she won't have to worry about not finding a good marriage partner in the future.
Just wait and see, bitch.
"Damn it, run faster!" Ah Zi angrily whipped the ox with a whip. The ox felt pain and started running, but it could not outrun the carriage.
Perhaps the cart was old, or perhaps because of the rush of traveling these days, the wheel hit a rock.
With a click...bang, the wheel fell off. The cart was rubbing against the ground and A Zi's leg was stuck under the cart without her noticing, with a click.
She howled in pain, and the cart rubbed against the ground for a while, with smoke coming out of the rear end.
When the cow stopped, her legs were covered in blood, and the broken bones had pierced her skin. It was a very scary sight.
"It hurts so much, wuwuwu, is there anyone who can save me!" Ah Zi was lying on the ground, trying to press her leg with one hand, but she couldn't because she was still being pressed by the cart.
She didn't dare to provoke the cattle, for fear that it would continue to move forward and she would suffer even more.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long before another carriage came galloping from a distance.
"Madam, someone is in trouble ahead." The coachman saw it from a distance and asked the horse to slow down, not because he didn't want to go straight through.
Instead, the wheels fell in front, blocking the way.
The woman in the carriage lifted a corner of the curtain and took a look. Then she said, "Let's go down and take a look. After all, it's a life. Now I'm pregnant. Saving a life is a good deed for my child."
The servant responded and quickly stopped the car.
When I got off the car and took a look, I saw that Ah Zi's eyes were swollen from crying and the scarf on her head had fallen off, making it clear at a glance that she was a woman.
The servant quickly returned to the carriage and said, "Madam, please ask the girls Qingzhu and Qinglan beside you to come down and help. The owner of the oxcart is a girl."
"Oh?" The mistress was stunned and looked again, and Ah Zi just looked up.
The mistress looked at the two maids sitting there. They stood up, bowed, and quickly got out of the car.
The servant lifted the cart away, and there was blood all over the ground, which looked very scary.
Qingzhu said in embarrassment: "This girl is covered in blood, and our mistress is pregnant, so we can't carry her onto the carriage, otherwise there will be a collision."
"What should we do then?" another maid also spoke up.
The maid looked at the mule cart path behind and said, "Let's carry it to the mule cart first."
Ah Zi was immediately unhappy when she heard this. She was already injured, and now he was still concerned about whether she would bump into the unborn child?
But she didn't dare to speak. She had just looked into the woman's eyes and could tell that she must have been born into wealth.
The two girls quickly carried her to the mule cart, and the driver moved the box so that there was a place for her to lie down.
"Miss, just lie here for now. All we can do is take you back to Chengnan Mansion."
"You definitely can't keep this car. We'll take the cow away for you." After saying that, Qingzhu turned and left.
The woman named Qinglan had some blood on her body and did not get into the carriage. Instead, she sat outside with the servant.
Ah Zi's face turned pale with anger, but she had no relatives now, so it was good enough that someone was willing to save her.
But she just couldn't get angry.
The carriage was so big, why couldn't they let her get in? Why did they have to leave her on this bumpy cart?
But no matter how angry she was, she was also smart. If she said this, people would scold her for being ungrateful and abandon her completely.
"Big brother, can I trouble you with a favor?" Ah Zi moved her injured leg and her face suddenly changed, but she had to deal with it, otherwise she would become a cripple or die from excessive blood loss in the future.
The coachman, a man in his early thirties, turned and looked at her.
"What's up?"
"Brother, please find me two pieces of similar wood and some clean cloth. I'll give you the money. And please bring my bag over, okay?"
After hearing her pitiful request, the servant finally nodded.
I told the mistress about this, and she said, "Oh," and asked curiously, "She wants these things, could it be that she wants to treat herself?"
Qinglan got off the cart again and took a look. Sure enough, she saw her sitting up and cruelly straightening her legs. Blood was dripping down the cart, which made people's scalp tingle.
Ah Zi almost fainted from the pain, but she knew she couldn't faint.
He sprinkled the wound with gold medicine and tried to bandage himself, but failed.
Qinglan kindly went over to help tie her legs. Ah Zi didn't care about anything else at this moment and said to Qinglan, "Miss, please help me tie it tighter. It's okay, just use more strength."
The pain made her sweat profusely, and after being tied up, A Zi's face turned completely pale.
Then she seemed to be exhausted and lay down on the cart.
Qinglan wiped her sweat off and asked casually, "Miss, do you know medicine?"
"Well, I'm a female doctor. I went to the provincial capital this time to find the county lord." A Zi deliberately spoke in a relaxed manner, as if she had known the county lord for a long time.
Qinglan rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Miss, you've suffered a lot this time. Take a rest first. We have to hurry on our way."
"Okay, thank you very much, young lady." Ah Zi was also used to saying one thing to one person and another thing to another person.
Qinglan turned back and reported, "Madam, that woman seems to be a female doctor, and she seems to be acquainted with the county lady."
"Oh? Take good care of him, or he might actually have something to do with the county lady."
"Yes." Qinglan bowed and responded.
"Let's go." After Qinglan sat down, the carriage began to move forward, and A Zi's cow was tied and followed behind.
At lunch, the mistress also asked Qinglan to bring her some food.
Ah Zi's body was cold due to excessive blood loss and she even had a fever.
"Madam, that girl must have lost too much blood. If she really has a relationship with the county lady, will she be angry?"
Qinglan hurried over to report. The mistress was also frightened when she heard it, and quickly asked someone to help her get out of the car.
She walked to the mule cart, reached out and touched A Zi's forehead, and found that she really had a fever.
"When can we reach the provincial capital at the earliest?" The servant responded quickly when the mistress asked.
"Madam, you can have Chang Kui go to the capital first. It will only take about two hours. You are pregnant and I dare not act rashly."
Hearing the servant's words, the mistress nodded quickly and said, "Well, Qinglan, you and Changkui go back to the city first."
"Send this girl to our own pharmacy for treatment. We can't let her die in our car."
