“Huh?”
“What’s going on?!”
Xu Qing felt puzzlement, and a miserable scream sounded. The pain in her lower body made Xu Qing cry. She glanced around and saw a dilapidated house with cracked windows. There were two weak babies beside her. Xu Qing was shocked. She was actually giving birth!
However, Xu Qing clearly remembered that she had been walking by the river before she fainted. She accidentally sprained her ankle and fell into the river.
The moment she drowned, Xu Qing didn’t even have the time to think about anything else. The last thing in her mind was that she felt that the way she died was too embarrassing!
Now, Xu Qing discovered something that made her feel even more despair. She had actually transmigrated. The original owner of this body was giving birth. After giving birth to two children, she died of exhaustion!
This was a small village that was not developed. The Host was only 18 years old this year and had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. She would have been thrown into the river and drowned. Her mother cried and shouted as she saved her. The people in the village blamed her for ruining the reputation of the entire village and chased her to the straw hut at the foot of the mountain outside the village.
A strange movement suddenly came from her stomach. Xu Qing was shocked. The Host was actually pregnant with triplets!
Before she transmigrated, Xu Qing was a famous doctor. She knew very well that if she didn’t give birth to the last child quickly, she would definitely die again!
“Do you need help?” Suddenly, a puzzled voice sounded from outside the straw hut. An old man in a white robe walked in.
“Great… help me… push my stomach…” Xu Qing thought that she was going to die again, but she didn’t expect to have another surprise.
“Push your stomach? How can that be? That’s not how children are born.” The old man frowned.
Xu Qing was disoriented and she did not realize how backward the place she had transmigrated to was. “Are you a doctor? Hurry up and do as I say. This child… is not in the right position and the position needs correction for the child to be born…”
The old man shook his head repeatedly. “This child is gone.”
Just now, the midwife who helped Xu Qing deliver thought that Xu Qing was dead, so she rushed back to the village to report. She happened to encounter this visiting doctor, and the old man rushed over.
He had thought that the pregnant woman was dead and that the two children needed to be taken care of. He did not expect Xu Qing to still be alive and was thinking of a way to give birth to the third child. However, in his opinion, that child definitely could not be saved. He hurriedly opened the medicine chest and took out the ginseng tablets at the bottom of the chest before stuffing them into Xu Qing’s mouth.
Ginseng was the most precious Chinese medicine and even had the effect of reviving the dead. Xu Qing felt the taste of ginseng and instantly felt more energetic.
“This child can be saved… do as I say… okay?” Xu Qing finally reacted. This place was different from her original world, so she could only try her best to explain.
The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded hard. “I’ve never delivered a baby like this for anyone. Whether the baby lives or dies is up to fate!”
People had died in his hands before, but only this time made him nervous. However, this was also a new experience. For a doctor, all sorts of rare cases were worth studying to save more people.
Xu Qing pointed at a spot on her stomach. “Press this place hard… pull in this direction… twice, stop…”
There was nothing worse than the current situation anyway, so the old man raised his hand and pressed down.
“Ah!” Xu Qing screamed in pain. Her lips were already bleeding, and the sweat on her forehead flowed non-stop. She felt that she was constantly bleeding, and that she might bleed to death.
Fortunately, this old man was capable. He pressed a few acupoints on her body and the bleeding stopped.
Finally, before Xu Qing fainted, the fetus was adjusted to the right position. She shouted with all her might and gave birth to the child!
The old man’s hands trembled as he hugged the bloody child and shook his head repeatedly. “It’s really born. It’s a girl. Unfortunately…”
Xu Qing was about to heave a sigh of relief when she suddenly realized that the child was not crying! Could it be that she had suffocated to death? How could the child she had given birth to die just like that?
“Quick… pat her back… She’s still not awake… blow… blow… blow into her mouth…” Xu Qing’s breathing was extremely weak. Heavy blood loss and pain made her eyelids heavy. However, her consciousness told her that she could not faint yet. She still had things to do.
The old man was very impressed with this little village girl who did not panic in the face of danger. However, the child was still dead, so nothing he did would be of help.
Although he was certain that this child could not be saved, he still did as Xu Qing said. Unfortunately, the child still did not come back to life. He sighed. “Sigh… I already said that even if this child is born, it won’t live. It has been in your stomach for too long…”
“Give me the child!” Xu Qing’s hands trembled as she forced herself to stand up. Her eyes were red as she stretched out her hands while trembling. She crossed her index and middle fingers and used four fingers to perform cardiac resuscitation on the little girl’s chest. She controlled her strength as she did CPR once, twice… ten times, twenty times…
Bean-sized sweat kept dripping onto the baby’s face. The old man was stunned when he saw this!
“Cough, cough, waaa…”
Suddenly, the baby spoke. Although her voice was weak, she was really alive!
Xu Qing couldn’t hold on anymore. Her tense nerves relaxed and she fainted on the old straw bed.
The old man, who had witnessed everything, decided to stay because he still wanted to ask this woman how she had adjusted the fetus’ position and saved that baby. Most pregnant women were risking their lives when they gave birth. If this method could be popularized, it would definitely save countless lives.
He was suddenly glad that he had traveled so far. This was a huge breakthrough in his medical skills. He hurriedly went forward to take her pulse. He had to do his best to save her. At this moment, a cry sounded from outside the door.
“Little Qing, my daughter…” A middle-aged woman with patched clothes ran in with tears on her face.
“Qu Feng, don’t cry. Your daughter has at least given birth to two sons…” The old lady behind Madam Xu said with a look of pity. She was the midwife who had run out just now.
When Grandma Song realized that Xu Qing was no longer breathing, she went to call for help. It was a pity. Qu Feng and her daughter, Xu Qing, were very upright people, but in the end, bad things happened one after another.
“Who are you? Why is there another child here? She… she actually gave birth…” Granny Song looked at the last baby girl and was stunned. She looked at the old man with blood on his hands and holding Xu Qing’s hand, and her heart skipped a beat. Was he eating people?
“What are you doing?” Qu Feng cried sadly. She was shocked to see the situation in the room.
Under their shocked gazes, they saw that the old man continued to take Xu Qing’s pulse seriously. Under Qu Feng’s anxious and shocked gaze, he slowly said, “I’m a doctor. When I passed by here, I saw her and helped her. She lost too much blood and gave birth to three children. She’s exhausted and unconscious, and her body is too weak. I’ll prescribe a few medicines for her. Brew them and let her drink them.”
After giving birth to these three children, she narrowly escaped death. The old man felt her pulse and knew that it would probably be difficult for her to give birth in the future. However, he did not say this. He had a feeling that this little village girl would still have a way…
“Thank you, Doctor.” After Qu Feng froze from shock, she thanked him excitedly. She had lived in a small village her entire life and had never seen any big shots. However, when she saw that the other party was dressed nicely, had white hair, and was taking her pulse extremely seriously, she naturally believed him. However, when she received the prescription, although she did not know the names of many of the medicines, she recognized the ginseng and deer antler on the prescription. Her face instantly paled. “Doctor… how much does the medicine cost?”
The old man froze. “About ten thousand.”
“Ten thousand?” Qu Feng was stunned. A bottle of medicine cost ten thousand. In Xu Qing’s situation, it was impossible for her to recover with just one bottle. Even a hundred thousand was not enough! This money was an astronomical figure to Qu Feng, who was poor. Her hand that was holding the prescription kept trembling. “Doctor, can you prescribe some cheap medicine?”
“No!” The old man refused sternly. If it was ordinary medicine, how could it save lives?
Granny Song, who was at the side, shook her head helplessly. It seemed like Xu Qing would not survive. “Qu Feng, forget it… There are still three children to raise…” She had already wiped the three children clean and could only wrap them in rags. Their appearance made one’s heart ache.
Qu Feng looked at the weak child and then at the unconscious Xu Qing. Her eyes were red. What should she do? She didn’t have any money in her hand, so how could she save her daughter? If she asked the Xu family for money, they wouldn’t give it to her. Moreover, they couldn’t take out this amount. Moreover, her daughter was chased out by the Xu family, so how could they save her…
Just as Qu Feng was hesitating,
“Take this money. Go get the medicine first.” The old man handed Qu Feng a stack of money.
“Doctor… how are we going to repay you…” Qu Feng was so shocked that she did not dare to take it.
“I never save people beyond hope!” Putting aside the fact that he wanted to discuss medical skills with her, since he had taken action, he could not watch her die. Otherwise, wouldn’t that ruin his reputation?
Qu Feng was grateful. She didn’t waste time and quickly went to get the medicine. Granny Song also left. After all, she had nothing to do even if she stayed. This family was too pitiful. She didn’t even want the money for the delivery anymore.
Xu Qing was unconscious for four days. Qu Feng sat at the head of the bed with her rough hands holding a pair of thin hands. She looked at the person on the bed with exhaustion. As she watched, tears fell. “Little Qing…”
Xu Qing felt that it was very noisy. She wanted to leave, but she realized that she couldn’t move. That’s right… she seemed to have transmigrated to the body of a woman who had given birth. Then, in order to save that child, she used all her strength to give birth to that child. She thought that she would die in a time and space where technology was backward. She didn’t expect to still be alive.
Xu Qing tried her best to open her eyes and saw that the woman beside her was already in tears. She felt terrible. This was the Host’s mother, an extremely gentle woman. However, the Xu family was simply a blood-sucking den. Qu Feng’s husband was extremely cowardly, her in-laws were mean, and there were a few sisters-in-law who caused trouble. Even if Qu Feng gave birth to a few children, life would still be difficult for her.
But even so, Qu Feng still tried her best to protect her daughter, who was about to drown. She had also lost the money she had brought from her family, including one of her precious family heirlooms. Without money, Qu Feng was like walking on thin ice in the Xu family.
“Mother…” A weak voice sounded.
“Little Qing? You’re finally awake! That’s great…” Qu Feng was overjoyed.
“Mother, I’m hungry.” Xu Qing looked at the ecstatic Qu Feng and her heart warmed. She was originally an orphan with nothing but medical skills. Now that there was someone who loved her in front of her, how could she not cherish it?
“Alright, Mother will cook for you now!” She immediately went to the kitchen and busied herself.
A smile appeared on Xu Qing’s pale face.
“How lucky.” The old man sighed.
Xu Qing was not surprised to see the old man who suddenly appeared in front of her. “I knew you hadn’t left. Thank you, old man!” Xu Qing smiled. She could feel that her health was improving. It must have been done by this doctor. Although she knew some advanced medical skills, she was definitely inferior to him in terms of regulating her body.
“My name is not old man, it’s Bai Xian! How rude, hmph!” Bai Xian was unhappy that Xu Qing called him an old man. He only looked old and had not reached an old man’s age at all!
“Oh,” Xu Qing replied calmly. However, she was extremely grateful. Her many years of being an orphan enabled her to cover up many of her emotions.
“I won’t bicker with you!” Bai Xian was curious and asked all the questions he had been holding back from asking for the past few days. “How did you know that you had to press that area to give birth to the baby? And why did you touch the baby’s heart with your finger that day? Why did she really revive? You know medicine?”
Xu Qing raised her eyebrows and was about to say something when she saw Qu Feng carrying a bowl of porridge.
“Doctor, you’re here too? Have you eaten? There’s still rice and porridge in the pot. I’ll bring it for you.” Qu Feng saw Bai Xian and was not puzzled as to why he was there. Just like when she saw Bai Xian treating her daughter, she only felt pleasantly surprised. He was her daughter’s benefactor.
“There’s no need.” Bai Xian had a cold expression.
“It just so happens that my family is poor and can’t afford it.” Xu Qing looked at the bowl of porridge that didn’t have many grains of rice and could only smile bitterly. To think about it, he was a doctor. His food, clothing, residence, and travel accommodations were not top-notch, but now? This was really worlds apart from her previous life. She really didn’t know how to live in a world with no technology and outdated information.
“Xiao Qing, don’t spout nonsense. The Divine Doctor is your savior. The medicine you drank was bought for you by Divine Doctor.” Qu Feng berated.
“I said the wrong thing. Thank you, Divine Doctor! Mom, where are my children?” Xu Qing smiled obsequiously. She was grateful for his good intentions, but her expression was still cold.
“Aren’t they beside you?” Qu Feng looked at Bai Xian helplessly. Fortunately, the divine doctor did not mind.
Xu Qing looked embarrassed. It was really difficult to immediately take on the role of a mother. She finished the bowl of porridge that was not really considered porridge and picked up her sleeping daughter. Then, her stomach hurt. Xu Qing gasped. It really hurt! It was really difficult to be a mother!
In the next few days, because Qu Feng still had to return to the Xu family to do farm work, Xu Qing, a new mother, finally began to familiarize herself with taking care of the children. However, her body was weak and she did not have milk. Not to mention that she could not tolerate drinking rice soup every day, and the children were the same.
Xu Qing looked at Bai Xian, who was taking her pulse and stroking his beard. He was dressed in high-quality material. Her gaze changed and she said, “Doctor, can you lend me some money?”
Bai Xian’s hand trembled.
“When I recover, I’ll return it to you double.” Xu Qing saw that Bai Xian still had no reaction. Xu Qing said with a helpless expression. “If you have any difficult illnesses in the future, I’ll help you resolve them!”
