Chapter 118. Human Life at Stake
"Master said that as long as third Madam and young master can be saved, any amount of money will do."
Su Qing was about to leave but stopped when she heard little Hai's last sentence.
He had to earn back all the money he had spent buying the talismans. Furthermore, saving the third Madam and her son would increase her medical skills and merit. This was an excellent opportunity that she couldn't miss.
"I can save him."
Su Qing walked over to the shop assistant and said. The shop assistant glanced at her and smiled,
"Young master, don't joke around. It's a matter of life and death, two lives!
"I can save him."
Su Qing looked at her and repeated the words. The shop assistant saw that Su Qing's confident and steady appearance did not seem like she was joking. If he could save the third Madam, the old master would reward him. Since little Hai had already gone to find a doctor, why not take him to the backyard to have a look?
Thinking of this, the shop assistant eagerly invited Su Qing to the backyard.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble young master to follow this little one to the rear courtyard."
Su Qing pointed at the horse.
"Find someone to help me keep an eye on him."
"Sure, no problem."
The waiter nodded his head. Even if Su Qing had not helped to save the third Madam, they would have found someone to look after the horse.
Su Qing followed the shop assistant to the backyard. The shopkeeper frowned when he saw Su Qing and called out to the shop assistant,
"Xiao Wu, what's going on?"
"Master, this young master said he can save third Madam."
"Nonsense."
The shopkeeper frowned. How could a young man without any hair on his mouth be able to cure?
"My ancestor was an Imperial physician, and there was a secret recipe for women's difficult labor."
Su Qing could tell that the shopkeeper didn't believe her, so she said this indifferently.
Imperial physician?
This was a lofty statement, and the shopkeeper immediately believed her a little. You can't judge a to please the old master, but he snatched her away.
21:23
Su Qing followed the shopkeeper to the backyard. They walked through a street paved with green book by its cover; the sea can't be measured by its volume. Many people with special abilities looked like ordinary people.
"Then I'll have to trouble the young master. Xiao Wu, look after the shop; I'll take young master over."
The shopkeeper ordered Xiao Wu to leave the counter and led Su Qing to the backyard.
Xiao Wu looked at the shopkeeper's back sadly and cursed him in her heart. She finally had a chance to please the old master, but he snatched her away.
Su Qing followed the shopkeeper to the backyard. They walked through a street paved with green stones and entered the courtyard of a high-rise building. He realized that it was a courtyard with four entrances. It was built with pavilions, carved beams, and painted pillars. It was imposing.
Su Qing concluded. The shop's owner was wealthy, and judging from how he decorated the courtyard, he was not just an ordinary merchant.
The shopkeeper brought Su Qing into the last courtyard and saw an old man in his fifties wearing a long robe pacing back and forth in the yard with an anxious expression. The door to the room was tightly shut, and the screams of women could be heard from time to time.
"Master."
The shopkeeper told Su Qing to wait outside while he reported to the old master.
"Him?"
The old man turned around and looked at Su Qing suspiciously. Su Qing looked back at him indifferently. His face was calm and elegant, but the clothes didn't give him strength. The old man couldn't believe it.
"It's fine if you don't believe me. This is a blood-clotting pill. Give it to your wife, and it'll stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding stops, trust me, and I'll make sure they're safe."
Su Qing held a brown pill in her hand and spoke arrogantly.
The words "I'll make sure they're safe" made the old man look at her. He nodded and ordered someone to bring the pill into the room.
"If the young master can protect my Lin'er, this old man will give you any money you want."
The old man cupped his hands at Su Qing and told her the money first.
"Well, that's good. My consultation fee isn't cheap. A home visit costs thousands of gold."
Su Qing didn't stand on ceremony and told him how much she needed to pay for the treatment.
The old man was stunned for a moment. This was a bit of a lion's mouth!
The shopkeeper's face changed. He regretted bringing Su Qing here. He had asked for so much money. Wasn't he extorting money?
"It's fine if you can't bear to; I'll leave now."
Su Qing looked at the old man's expression and smiled. Then, he turned and left.
Those who believed in her-she would save them. Those who did not think she would not force them.
She would take the blood-stopping pill as a good deed. Anyway, she wouldn't lose anything even if her merit points increased.
"Little brother, please wait."
The old man saw that Su Qing turned around and left without hesitation. He started to believe her and quickly called out to Su Qing.
Su Qing turned around and looked at the old man indifferently. The old man said,
"As long as you can protect my Lin'er and my wife, it doesn't matter if you're my daughter."
The boss had agreed!
The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief, but simultaneously, his heart was in his mouth. What if he couldn't save her? Then this young master would not be able to leave Jin City and would also be implicated.
"The bleeding has stopped; it's stopped. This is a godly medicine!
At this moment, the midwife's surprised voice came from the house. The old man looked at Su Qing with joy and cupped his hands,
"Young master, please save my wife and Lin'er."
Su Qing nodded and followed the maidservant into the room. The bed curtain in the inner room prevented the pregnant woman from being seen. When she pushed open the door, she could smell the pungent smell of blood. The basin on the ground was already stained red with blood, and a pile of blood-stained cloth was in the corner.
A group of maidservants and biddies were guarding the bed, nervously waiting for the midwife's instructions.
"Excuse me, the godly doctor is here."
The head maidservant who had brought Su Qing in told the other maidservants to make way. She went over and pulled open the bed curtains.
Su Qing saw a pale, handsome face. She looked very young, probably in her early twenties. Her face was covered in sweat, and her hair was wet. Her lips were bloody from biting too hard. She didn't care about the difference between a man and a woman when she saw Su Qing. Her eyes were filled with the desire to live.
Su Qing walked over. A woman's lower body was also covered with a blanket at this time, but this was taboo enough.
To save his wife and child, the old master had gone all out. He did not avoid being treated. The doctors were all men. If it were not Su Qing, it was doctor Jiang from the city's Hundred Kindness Hall.
Su Qing first touched the pregnant woman's stomach. The pregnant woman's belly was hard because of contractions. The midwife saw how Su Qing felt about the position of the fetus and was even more convinced that this divine doctor had some skills.
"The fetal position is incorrect; it's a standing fetal."
After Su Qing touched it, she said with certainty. The midwife nodded,
"It's dangerous because the baby hasn't turned yet."
Since Su Qing's [ medicine ] skill rose to Level 5, she could make the judgment independently without Xiao Qi's diagnosis. She took the pregnant woman's pulse and realized her body was frail. Although the bleeding had stopped, she had lost too much blood earlier and could lose two lives at any time.
Su Qing asked Xiao Qi to make a blood-replenishing pill for the pregnant woman so that she would have the strength to give birth after the baby was correctly positioned.
The pregnant woman was very obedient. She would eat anything as long as it could save her life. She swallowed the pill without hesitation. After drinking the medicine, her pale face regained color, and her body regained strength.
"I'm going to reincarnate you now. It'll hurt a little; bear with it."
Su Qing looked at the pregnant woman and said. The pregnant woman nodded. She could bear the pain as long as she could quickly unload her load.
After Su Qing finished speaking, she slowly touched the pregnant woman's stomach to adjust the baby's position. During this process, the pregnant woman screamed in pain.
The expression of the old man in the courtyard suddenly changed.
"Why is she screaming even more miserably than before?"
