Chapter 1: Rescue

Amidst the rolling hills, a goat path cuts through the mountains.

Wei Ruo carried a bamboo basket on her back and walked on the path, the weather was just right in early spring, and the evening sun shone on her white face.

Although the distance of Yunping Mountain was far for her, there were surprisingly many rare wild herbs in the mountain, it wasn’t a waste for her to come all the way here early in the morning for this trip.

From the foot of the mountain path out, turned into the official road not long, Wei Ruo heard not far away from a group of noisy people.

A luxurious carriage was parked by the roadside, surrounded by a number of attendants in front and behind, a great battle.

Wei Ruo stopped walking, and with the mentality that it was better to do more than less, pretended not to see it and lowered her head to continue walking forward.

However, these people still found her, and a man in fancy clothes walked over at a brisk pace and blocked Wei Ruo’s path, “Where is the nearest medical center?”

The voice was urgent and the expression was a little frightening.

“There are no medical centers around here, the nearest one is in the county town, which is also seventy to eighty miles away from here.” Wei Ruo bowed her head and replied.

“What about a steady woman? Is there a village around here that has a steady woman?” The man asked again.

“No.”

Wei Ruo’s reply made the man’s face grow more and more ugly.

Seeing that the man stopped asking, Wei Ruo didn’t want to be nosy and turned around with the intention of leaving.

Just two steps away, a woman’s screams were heard coming from inside the carriage, as well as the anxious voices of the maids:

“Hang in there ma’am, ma’am is fine, we’ll find a doctor soon.”

“Hands, I see hands, what do I do? It’s hands! It’s going to kill someone!”

“Water, bring hot water and ginseng tea!”

Wei Ruo frowned a bit and couldn’t help but stop.

The person in the car should be in labor and in critical condition.

Should I care?

It’s better not to care, it’s easy to get into trouble if you do, this group of people are not very good to mess with!

Just as he decided to move on, there was another scream from the woman.

How can she leave? Lives are at stake, and she’s a child!

Wei Ruo glanced back at his bamboo backpack, pondered for two seconds, and ultimately did not hold back and chose to turn around and walk back.

Seeing Wei Ruo approaching the carriage, the attendants immediately stopped her.

“I know a little bit of medicine, and I happen to have some freshly picked herbs in my bamboo basket, so choose to believe and let me into the wagon right now at once, or I’ll leave right now.”

Wei Ruo succinctly gave the man two choices.

Hurry up and answer, if he said he wouldn’t treat her, she’d immediately turn around and walk away to save herself the trouble!

The man’s brain at the moment is dumbfounded, he heard the maid say that she saw the hand, the woman giving birth if the first thing to come out is the hand, it is the same as half of the body into the ghost gate!

At that moment another hiss came out of the wagon, a sound that struck the man’s heart hard.

The man didn’t have time to think anymore, “I’ll give you a chance to try, keep my wife and son, and you’ll have no shortage of honor and wealth!”

Getting the go-ahead, Wei Ruo took a big stride onto the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a gorgeously dressed woman was howling in pain, her head covered in sweat, her hands clutching the maid next to her.

Wei Ruo looked down at the woman’s body, the amniotic fluid had broken, but the fetus was not in the right position, making it difficult to deliver.

Thankfully, the amniotic fluid hadn’t run out yet, and the fetus’s hand hadn’t quite made it into the birth canal.

Wei Ruo fished out a cloth bag from inside the bamboo basket, which contained an acupuncture kit and some commonly used medicines.

Took two pieces of dried ginseng out to the woman to contain, and instructed the maid to get some water, preferably sugar water tonic soup, to feed the woman.

Wei Ruo calmed the woman’s emotions, “Don’t cry and don’t shout, keep your strength, I’m going to give you needles to relieve the pain now and then help you correct the position of the fetus, don’t be nervous, relax as much as you can.”

What? Orthopnea?

Positive fetal position at this time?

More needles?

The maids on either side of them were as pale as dirt when they heard this.

This is something that even the most experienced stabilizers in the capital would not dare to do! It’s too dangerous to correct the position of the fetus at this time!

Wei Ruo didn’t have any nonsense, quickly washed her hands with the hot water available on the carriage, opened the acupuncture bag, picked up the long and thin silver needles, undid the woman’s clothes, and accurately placed the needles in several positions.

Before long the woman’s body was pierced with more than a dozen silver needles, easing the woman’s paroxysms of pain.

Then under the unbelieving gazes of the two maids, the child’s already outstretched hand was tucked back in!

The maids’ pupils quake and they almost shrieked.

Wei Ruo then pressed her hands on top of her stomach, gesturing as if she was playing Tai Chi, pressing the fetus in her abdomen to slowly rotate.

The two maids inside the carriage who saw this scene were once again too shocked to speak, the child inside her stomach was really moving!

Time passed by the minute, and the crowd waiting outside the carriage became more and more anxious, as if they were being roasted on a stove.

Is that girl from earlier really okay?

It’s okay, right? What if it’s not ……?

God bless, Buddha bless!

An hour later, a baby’s cry broke through the gloom that hung over the heads of the crowd.

The crowd looked at the carriage in surprise, followed by an outburst of cheers.

Accompanied by the cheers of the people outside, Wei Ruo inside the carriage handled the child’s umbilical cord and then cleaned up the woman in labor to stop the bleeding.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Wei Ruo let out a long breath before dragging her tired body out of the carriage.

Just after saying that he could go in to see madam, the man in Chinese clothes couldn’t wait to get on the carriage to see the woman.

After a while, reminded by his wife, the man got out of the car to look for Wei Ruo, wanting to thank Wei Ruo and give a heavy reward, but found that the woman who had just saved his wife had already disappeared ……

Why did he leave without saying goodbye when he had promised the woman honor and wealth?

Walking on the path home, Wei Ruo began to have a flesh pain.

The woman was just given ginseng tablets and herbs to stop the bleeding, worth a lot of money!

Damn ah! When she was studying medicine, she swore that using the skills taught by her master to save people could not be used for the purpose of obtaining payment, so she couldn’t save people couldn’t manage to ask for money, and couldn’t collect people’s rewards!

Sometimes when she thought about it, she had been reincarnated once again, and it shouldn’t matter if she didn’t keep the vows she had once made.

But when it really came to that, the old Master’s face would run out of her mind, making her unconsciously keep that vow.

Because she knew that whether she had lived again or not, her skills had been taught by her master, and her master’s teachings should never be forgotten.

So next time you come across this kind of thing it’s better to stay out of it, blood loss!

Wei Ru carrying a bamboo basket in the direction of home, originally the road home there is more than an hour will be able to finish, but the rescue consumed too much physical strength, the back of the road really can not walk.

Three hours later, a separate courtyard appeared in front of Wei Ruo.

This is the place where Wei Ruo has lived for ten years: dark tiles, gray walls, chrome green bricks, vaguely dilapidated.
