Tian Cai didn't keep anyone in suspense. "I'm pregnant. It's been about a month. I'm in good health. I just need to rest and get enough nutrition."
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise. Zhu Cuihua was so excited that she shook Tian Cai's hand and thanked him repeatedly. At the end, before leaving, she secretly stuffed fifty cents into Tian Cai's hand and said, "Doctor Tian, my niece is finally pregnant. People said that we can't tell anyone about it in the first three months. Please keep it a secret. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. This is a small token of my appreciation..."
"I understand." Tian Cai did not refuse. When the woman with the headscarf turned around, the obvious birthmark on the back of her hand reminded her who this person was. So she would treat the money as hush money, and she would feel more at ease if she accepted it from Aunt Luo.
This person is not the niece that Zhu Cuihua mentioned, but is obviously her biological daughter Luo Juan.
The reason why Tian Cai was able to see it was because the birthmark on the back of Luo Juan's hand had a very special shape, like a brown bow, and she was impressed the first time she saw it.
But Luo Juan, this grown-up girl, is actually pregnant! Didn't she say she doesn't even have a partner? Or is it that the child is the son of that so-called workshop director? She dares to get pregnant before marriage these days. Tian Cai is really impressed. I really don't know what kind of storm will happen in the future.
She didn't plan to tell anyone about this matter, and she didn't even plan to tell Luo Xiuyan. It wasn't that she didn't consider her a friend, but the matter involved too many people. Once Luo Xiuyan knew about it, it would mean that Aunt Du and her husband would know about it. Given Uncle Luo's personality, he would definitely talk to Uncle Luo Er about it. By then, it would be self-evident where the news came from.
Tian Cai hadn't memorized so many confidentiality regulations in her previous life in vain. She would never discuss matters involving cases or the privacy of victims as gossip. This was her professional quality, and it also applies to doctors now.
She will also not spread the patient's privacy, no matter whether the patient is pregnant before marriage or has some shameful disease.
Besides, it would not benefit anyone if this matter were exposed. Luo Juan's pregnancy before marriage was a problem of conduct, and although it was not like the ancient times where people were thrown into a pig cage, it was not much better.
Tian Cai locked the door again and went back to the kang to read. Now that the weather was cold and she had more free time, she planned to continue to improve her medical skills and also study the acupuncture book left by Cai Ping.
Tian Cai didn't have a human body model, so he could only identify the acupuncture points on his own body according to medical books. Sometimes when Luo Xiuyan came, he would use her identification. Anyway, at the beginning, the acupuncture points were identified by pointing with fingers, so there was no way to use needles right away.
It didn't take long for her to identify all the commonly used acupuncture points on the body, and she tried the acupuncture methods in medical books on herself.
Every time she saw her so serious, Luo Xiuyan felt reluctant to disturb her. She always felt that Tian Cai exuded an indescribable aura at this time, which made people calm down like her just by watching her.
Picking a good day, Tian Cai put on a cotton jacket and cotton boots, carried a bamboo basket and took his tools and went up the mountain. Before leaving, he also took two roasted sweet potatoes with him in case he couldn't come back at noon.
She wanted to hunt some wild animals to improve her diet, otherwise she couldn't stand eating vegetarian food every day.
Tian Cai walked into the mountains from the southern slope. The snow here had melted. Although the road in the mountains was difficult to walk after the snow, it was more convenient for hunting.
Because there was no sunlight in the woods and there was a lot of snow on the ground, one could tell at a glance what animal's footprints had passed through. The most common animal Tian Cai saw was pheasant.
She ignored the pheasants flying past and continued walking inside. Having had many experiences in the mountains before, she simply climbed over three hills in one breath before slowing down.
Tian Cai planned to set up a few traps in the mountains here, and come over to check every few days. Maybe some small prey could be caught without much effort.
She chose a place with many pheasant footprints and dug two traps more than one meter deep, and inserted sharpened bamboo sticks underneath. Fortunately, the ground was not frozen solid yet, so digging was not difficult. After arranging the traps, she tied a piece of cloth on the tree next to it as a mark.
Soon Tian Cai came to the river where he had met the red panda before. Looking at the footprints on the river bank, he knew that many animals came to drink water in this river.
Tian Cai set up another trap not far from the river, and also inserted sharpened bamboo strips at the bottom. After finishing everything, she walked downstream along the river. On the way, she hunted two pheasants and threw them into a bamboo basket.
Not far from the river, there is a not very high mountain. She has not been to the mountain over there yet, so she plans to go there and take a look while it is still early today, and explore the area around here.
The road along the river bank was very uneven, with tall and short gravel and shrubs everywhere. She had to turn closer to the river and walk on the stones.
"……Um?"
As Tian Cai's eyes swept towards the river, they were attracted by a floating object. She took a few steps closer and saw a person lying on the opposite bank, half of his body still soaked in water.
In this weather, if it's soaked in water, it might be a corpse, right?
Tian Cai walked forward a little further, spotted a shallow spot on the riverbank, found a half-sized stone, threw it over as a stepping stone, and stepped on it to move forward.
She walked up to the man, squatted down, and first tried her hand on the carotid artery.
As soon as it touched her skin, she shivered all over, as if she was touching an ice cube. At this temperature, it was not certain that a person could survive.
As a result, Tian Cai detected a very weak beating under the man's cold neck, and the man was not dead yet.
If it weren't for her keen senses, she would have missed this subtle beat and a life would have been completely lost.
She turned the man over and pulled him out of the water. His messy hair and mud were stuck to his face, and the exposed skin was bluish-white. There was a very obvious swelling on his forehead, and the wound was also whitened by the mud and water. It seemed that he fell into the river because he was injured.
She recognized at a glance that this was the man who lent her the bamboo basket!
Tian Cai grabbed his wrist and took his pulse. The man had been frozen for at least several hours!
The padded jacket she was wearing was soaked. She looked around, trying to find a place that was slightly sheltered from the wind to warm him up by the fire. Too low a temperature would lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the body's normal organs, and coupled with the wound on his forehead, it would be strange if he didn't fall into a coma.
Tian Cai didn't see a suitable place around, so he roughly estimated the distance from here to his home. Then he threw the bamboo basket that was in the way aside and tried to carry the man on his back.
The man was very tall, with long arms and legs. Tian Cai was very strong and easily carried him on his back.
The only difficult thing was that he was unconscious and had no idea how much strength he was exerting. Tian Cai put her hands on his thighs and didn't care about anything else. She had just taken a few steps when he started to slide down. She had no choice but to untie the belt on the bamboo basket and tie the man's upper body to her own.
After testing the tightness and finding no effect, Tian Cai ran down the mountain with the person on his back.
