The horse walked through the field road, entered the village, and stopped in front of a farmhouse. He gently shook the woman in his arms and called softly: "Gardenia, we are here."
Gardenia opened her eyes, got off the horse with Ling Jiyun in her arms, and walked a few steps on the mossy stone road. Ling Jiyun knocked on the firewood door. An old man in clothes walked out of the house. He was about seventy years old and gray.
His beard fluttered slightly in the cold wind, he tightened his clothes, came over and opened the courtyard door, looked at the stranger in front of him, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a cold and handsome face, and felt inexplicably palpitating. The woman in his arms was actually
Wearing plain clothes makes it easier for people to approach, and an old voice sounded: "Who are you two looking for?"
Ling Jiyun said: "We want to stay here. Is there a house?"
The cold voice revealed a domineering tone that could not be refused. It was obvious that the old man was slightly startled. Gardenia smiled and said again: "I'm sorry, uncle, we are from other places and want to stay here.
I wonder if there are ready-made houses that can accommodate us?"
The old man relaxed his expression. Although Ling Jiyun was a little repelled, he was afraid that if he glared at him, he would have to go see his ancestors. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he would rather tell Gardenia: "This girl, we are here
…….”
Before the old man finished speaking, he saw a man running over in a hurry, panting and saying: "Village chief, it's not good, my second daughter-in-law has a difficult delivery and is about to die."
"What? Wasn't it fine yesterday?" The village chief asked eagerly with his eyes wide open. The second baby is the only child in the family. A sister got married, and the whole family pointed to him to continue the family line. The second baby's daughter-in-law came here, but
What should I do?
"I don't know either. Last night, the second baby's daughter-in-law said she had a stomachache. The second baby thought she was going to give birth, so she sent her mother to find Po Wen. After she came, Po Wen has been busy until now. The second son's daughter-in-law even fainted.
She has been unable to give birth for several times, and Erwa’s mother has been kneeling in the yard asking God to bless her. Please come with me and have a look.” The man said as he picked up the village chief and walked towards Erwa’s house.
Gardenia pulled Ling Jiyun and said, "Let's go take a look, maybe we can help."
He tapped the tip of her nose affectionately and said softly: "You know my gardenia has a good heart."
"Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to keep up." Ling Jiyun blushed and turned sideways. Ling Jiyun took her hand and followed the direction in which the village chief left.
In a yard, a bare apricot tree was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the snow melted by the sun slid to the ground along the tree trunk and flowed into a small ditch on the side.
A woman knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, praying with tears to God to bless her daughter-in-law for a safe delivery. Many people had gathered inside and outside the yard, some comforting the woman kneeling on the ground, and some from time to time.
Looking inside the house, some people are just waiting anxiously, hoping that the second daughter-in-law can pass this test.
The man pulled the village chief into the yard, and the woman immediately stopped kowtowing, grabbed his hand firmly, and cried: "Village Chief, please save my wife there, our family will continue the family lineage through her.
, if there is any evil person, my ancestors who have the nerve to go to the underground..."
The village chief is also worried. He is not a doctor, so how can he save his second daughter-in-law? The only stable woman in the village is here, and there is no doctor in the village. If you get any disease, you have to walk for two days to see a doctor in the city. This
But what to do?
The door of the house opened. On a very cold day, Po Wen was sweating profusely from her work. She looked at the village chief and said, "Village Chief, I have been taking care of children all my life, and I have never encountered anything like this.
All the methods have been used, and now that the person is dying, let Erwa's family prepare for the funeral."
Listening to Wen Po's assertion, Erwa Niang shouted loudly to the sky: "Oh my God, do you really want to cut off the incense in my family?" After saying this, she fainted before taking a breath.
Erwa, who had been sitting uneasily, hugged his mother and cried: "Mom, mother, wake up, wake up."
Erwa suddenly felt that everything around him had become quiet. He looked up and saw two noble strangers standing outside the courtyard. The villagers gave way one after another. Ling Jiyun helped Gardenia go in, and Gardenia walked in from behind.
Ling Jiyun came out of his arms and looked at the woman lying in Erwa's arms, and knew that it was the Erwa Niang mentioned by the man who had just informed the village chief. Gardenia looked at the woman holding Er Wa Niang and shedding tears.
The man said: "Are you the second child?"
Erwa's eyes widened and he nodded. He watched Gardenia pick up his mother's hand to pull out her pulse, and then watched her press the position on her lips under his mother's nose. He didn't know what she was going to do. It only took a moment, Erwa said.
The baby girl woke up.
The second baby shouted in surprise: "Mom, Mom, you're awake, it's great."
When Erwa Niang woke up, she saw a delicate and smiling face. A woman helped Erwa Niang up, but she saw Erwa kneeling in front of Gardenia, kowtowing: "This girl, please help me."
My wife."
Po Wen came forward and said, "Don't beg, your wife is about to die."
He helped him up and said, "Let me go and have a look."
Erwa gratefully led her into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a fishy smell. It turned out that the water in the wooden basin was red.
Gardenia walked to the bedside, explored it, and found that there was still a trace of breath. Then she carefully checked her abdomen. The baby was still moving, and was not holding its breath.
"Do you have any silver needles?" She asked Ling Jiyun to carry her out without bringing anything with her.
Erwa shook his head, ran into the yard again, and asked loudly: "Who has a silver needle?"
Po Wen said: "I have it. It was left by my old man when he was alive. Although I don't know how to use it, I have always kept it."
"Aunt Xia, please go home and bring it to me. Please, please."
Aunt Xia said: "Okay, you wait, I will get it." Aunt Xia ran out of the yard, it was better to save someone's life than to create a seventh-level float.
In the meantime, Gardenia was pinching the second daughter-in-law.
Erwa walked in with a silver needle, "Go and get a basin of hot water, and ask Mrs. Wen to come in," Gardenia said.
"Oh, okay——."
After a while, the stable woman came in, and she pushed the second baby out.
"Girl, what do you want me to do?" Aunt Xia asked uneasily.
Gardenia said: "Please help me pinch her."
Aunt Xia smiled in embarrassment: "My old man was a doctor in the village, but he only taught me how to deliver babies."
Gardenia pointed to the acupuncture point in the human body and said, "Pinch it right here."
"Oh, okay." Aunt Xia responded and pinched the second daughter-in-law's hand.
Gardenia took out a silver needle and aimed it at the Xiaohai, Gongsun and Xuehai points of Erwa's daughter-in-law. It was obvious that Erwa's daughter-in-law had moved. Sister-in-law Xia said in surprise: "It's moving, it's moving."
Gardenia still didn't dare to relax and said, "You are trying harder."
Aunt Xia responded, and with a little more force, the second daughter-in-law woke up. "You're awake, I thought you wouldn't survive."
The second daughter-in-law looked at Gardenia helplessly, and Aunt Xia said, "This girl saved you."
