Chapter 34 First visit
The woman stared at the man on the stool in deep thought. Xu Miaomiao was crawling on the bed, speechless. She was so miserable, but Song Wushao didn't even show any concern.
Looking at the man's focused look, Xu Miaomiao turned her head away awkwardly.
In a daze, Xu Miaomiao felt a chill on her butt, and she quickly opened her eyes in fright.
Xu Miaomiao was crawling on the bed, unable to move, but she clearly felt that the coolness on her buttocks was not an illusion, and it was accompanied by a burning gaze.
Xu Miaomiao swallowed her saliva, tears of grievance flowing repeatedly in her eyes. Who is so shameless as to want to hurt her?
Slowly turning his head, he saw Song Wushao holding a feather and gently smearing the ointment on Xu Miaomiao's buttocks.
What's going on! How could Song Wushao give her medicine? Xu Miaomiao shuddered. Could it be that the medicine was poisonous?
Thinking of this situation, Xu Miaomiao said awkwardly: "Well, no need, I can do it myself."
She felt very uncomfortable when she thought about a man staring at her butt like this.
"Can you reach it?"
The cold voice sounded very clear in the night, and all of Xu Miaomiao's excuses seemed pale and powerless.
"Well, thank you very much, sir."
Hearing this, Song Wu Shao suddenly panicked and increased the strength in his hands.
"Ouch."
Xu Miaomiao cried out in pain and hugged the quilt tighter.
"No need to thank me."
Song Wu Shao suddenly said, "You saved me last time, so consider this as a repayment of your kindness."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was shocked. If he had repaid her, would he still kill her? No, she had to be extra nice to Song Wushao and make sure he could not repay her kindness.
Fifteen strokes of the cane is not a small number. Song Wushao saw all the intricate scars. Since waking up, he felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more different, and sometimes even made him feel distressed.
After clearing out the mess in his mind, Song Wu Shao deceived himself into thinking that it must be because she told him stories every day that he came to her rescue!
Xu Miaomiao didn't think as much as he did. She lay in bed for a few days, eating the food handed to her by Song Wushao and enjoying his care. However, with every day of comfort, she felt her neck getting colder.
Finally, after a few days, Xu Miaomiao didn't dare to rest any longer, and hurriedly took Song Weiwei and Xiaobao to Jishidiang.
The market was as prosperous as ever, except for Jishiditang, which had not been visited for many days and was covered with a layer of dust.
Song Weiwei's knot in her heart has been untied, and sometimes she would retort to Xu Miaomiao as usual. Xu Miaomiao is also happy about her change.
(Why did you bring me here, mother?)
The little boy looked at Xu Miaomiao using sign language and tilted his head, looking very cute.
"You will surely become more skilled if you practice and learn with your mother."
Xiaobao nodded, gave a smile and looked at Xu Miaomiao: Xiaobao will definitely study hard.
Xu Miaomiao smiled knowingly.
"Where is Doctor Xu?"
An old servant hurried to the shop and started asking Song Weiwei a lot of questions.
"Don't worry, I'll go call her right away." Song Weiwei responded. Just as she was about to go find Xu Miaomiao, she saw her coming out.
"What happened, old man?"
"My wife is about to give birth, but the birth is a little difficult."
The old man spoke in an anxious tone, with some anger between his brows: "But that young woman said that my wife is a woman, and it is inconvenient for an outsider to assist in childbirth. I heard that there was a female doctor here, so I hurried over."
"Don't worry, I'll go with you right away." Xu Miaomiao explained to Song Weiwei while packing up the medicine box: "Weiwei, you take care of the store. If there are any illnesses like a minor cold, Xiaobao can take care of it."
After saying this, he hurriedly followed the old servant and left.
After a bumpy ride in the carriage, Xu Miaomiao hurriedly arrived at a large mansion.
There were quite a few women in the house, and Xu Miaomiao saw many of them just cleaning.
"Hey, this is the doctor you hired for my sister, right?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a young woman in pink gauze. The charm between her eyebrows and eyes was so fascinating that people could not help but linger. The strands of hair on her head added to her charm.
"Xu Miaomiao has met my wife."
When Xu Miaomiao saw the dress of the visitor, she knew that she was the young lady that the old servant had just mentioned. She quickly bowed and said that the lady was about to give birth, so she hoped that this woman would not be embarrassed.
But things don't always go as planned. The woman bowed slightly, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, you are too polite. I have had a headache these days too. I hope you can help me."
As she spoke, the woman touched her head and sat down on a stone chair beside her, then stretched out her arm for Xu Miaomiao to feel her pulse.
Xu Miaomiao frowned and touched the woman's arm: "My lady is fine. The lady is still waiting. Bye."
Just as Xu Miaomiao and the old servant were about to leave, they heard the woman behind them knock over the teacup and said angrily, "Xu Miaomiao! I am the most beloved woman of the master. You have to think clearly today."
The old servant beside him was also anxious. He looked at Xu Miaomiao who had stopped and didn't know what to say: "Madam Xu..."
Xu Miaomiao turned around, with a rare firmness between her eyebrows: "Young lady, I don't care who you are, I only know that I am a doctor, and my patients are still waiting for me. Please forgive me for being rude."
After saying that, he left, no matter how the woman behind him shouted.
"Okay, Jishidiang, right? I will make sure you can't keep your business open!"
The woman's roar echoed throughout the courtyard, scaring the birds in the trees away in panic.
"Mammy, this is Doctor Xu."
The old slave took Xu Miaomiao and introduced her to the old lady in front of them. The old lady was so excited when she saw Xu Miaomiao that she almost knelt down with tears in her eyes: "Madam Xu, I beg you, you must save Auntie Zi, she has suffered too much in her life."
"Madam, you don't have to do this. I will try my best."
Xu Miaomiao helped the old nanny up and followed her into the house.
The room was filled with the smell of blood. The woman on the bed had beads of sweat on her forehead. She fell into a sleep powerlessly. Her legs were clamped high up and only the child's arm could be vaguely seen.
"Why is this kid here sideways?"
Xu Miaomiao hit the nail on the head. The woman at the side spoke with disgust in her tone: "It was that little lady Li who bumped into me and caused the fetus to turn sideways."
"I see."
Xu Miaomiao responded and immediately took out an acupuncture needle and gave the woman a few needles on her head. The woman woke up with a big gasp.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao, he pleaded, "You must be the female doctor they were talking about. Doctor, please save my child."
"Don't worry, ma'am."
After Xu Miaomiao finished comforting the baby, she immediately used acupuncture to turn the fetus' direction.
The silver needles pricked the woman's body, causing her to choke and sob.
It took a long time for the fetus to return to its normal position.
"Madam, the fetal position is back, you still have to push harder."
Unexpectedly, the woman was so weak that she couldn't utter a word. She spoke incoherently: "I, I'm really exhausted."
