Xinghua Village
Tao Yaoyao stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the big stone monument in front of her and then turning her head to look at the towering mountain, where they fell.
Just now, they could go to Guandao along another road, and then they could find someone to take an ox cart back to Kyoto City, but Xie Lan brought her here. It was obvious that he didn't want to go back to Kyoto City for the time being.
But why should she stay and accompany him on his adventure?
"The reputation of a woman in the boudoir is the most important thing. I have been missing all night. If I don't come back, my concubine will probably spread the news about me not returning home at night."
Tao Yaoyao said and turned to leave, but Xie Lan stepped up to block her way.
"Didn't Miss Tao want to cancel the engagement? If the second Miss Tao really did this, I'm afraid it would be too late for you to be happy." Xie Lan exposed her thoughts, "Why, Miss Tao regrets it and wants to marry the third prince again. Already?"
She would be crazy to want to marry such a scumbag.
She just cherished her life.
It's just that what Xie Lan said makes sense. This is indeed a good opportunity for her. Even if she can't cancel the marriage in the end, she can still give herself a bad breath.
Moreover, it was only two hours away from the official road here. She was already exhausted. How could she have the strength to walk for another two hours?
That's all, the worst she can do is just act according to circumstances.
"Your Majesty should not just bring me to the entrance of the village to enjoy the scenery." After thinking about this, Tao Yaoyao began to test Xie Lan's next plan.
There is only this village in this mountain. Xie Lan obviously decided to come here temporarily after discovering the iron ore. So, his purpose of coming here is related to the iron ore.
No matter who wants to mine iron ore privately, they will definitely find nearby villagers to work there. This place is closed, and even if a few people die, the news will not spread outside.
If it wasn't a coincidence this time, they wouldn't have discovered this. And if he wanted to know more about the iron mines, it would be best to come to this village to inquire.
However, such a village should be very exclusive, and they had to think of a reason to make the villagers believe them before they could stay and investigate.
While Tao Yaoyao was thinking about it, she saw an ox cart coming not far away. A woman was chasing behind the ox cart. The woman ran and cried, "If you go faster, it will be too late and the mountain will not be able to see Qiu Ping." Just one glance.”
"Mom, we understand, please go back quickly."
After the man finished speaking, he raised his whip and hit the cow hard on the buttocks. When the bullock cart passed by them, the people were so anxious that they didn't even look at them.
Tao Yaoyao's expression changed slightly, and then she pulled Xie Lan forward.
"Auntie, please wipe your tears first. What happened at home?" Tao Yaoyao took the handkerchief and wiped the woman's tears thoughtfully. The woman felt relieved at this moment, raised her head and saw the stranger in their eyes, and then She was very well-dressed and said vigilantly, "It's nothing, it's just that my younger siblings are having a baby, which is a bit dangerous."
When a woman gives birth to a child, who has not been through the door of death? After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked back.
Tao Yaoyao asked, "Didn't you invite the midwife?"
"Please, but unfortunately, the only midwife in the village has gone to her daughter's house to drink full-moon wine and won't be back until tomorrow. Qiuping's fetus is not in the right position. Uncle Wang said, I'm afraid she won't last long."
When the woman said this, she sighed heavily.
"I'm a doctor. If you don't mind, sister-in-law, I can go over and deliver the baby to your younger siblings." Tao Yaoyao was just thinking about how to quickly win the trust of the people in this village, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
The woman did not know them and did not dare to take them back easily.
Tao Yaoyao reminded her, "Human lives matter, and if we had bad intentions, my sister-in-law would have been in danger long ago."
The woman thought so, but she still struggled for a while before agreeing to take them back.
"Your sister-in-law went out to send a message. Why hasn't she come back for so long? Xinghua, please go out and take a look."
In the yard, a white-haired mother-in-law was walking anxiously in the yard. After the woman named Xinghua heard this, she immediately ran out of the house. Just as she was about to run to the door of the house, she saw her sister-in-law leading her. Two immortal-like people walked in.
Xinghua was only fifteen years old, and she had reached the age to propose marriage, but she had never seen such a good-looking man.
She couldn't read and didn't know how to describe his good looks, but she just felt that he was different from all the men in the village. Just one glance made her heart beat faster and she couldn't take her eyes away.
Xinghua stared at Xie Lan so boldly that it was difficult for Tao Yaoyao not to see her.
The roots of troubles.
"Sister-in-law, where is the mother?"
Tao Yaoyao opened her mouth to break the silence, and the woman immediately pulled her into the house. When she came to the door, she didn't bother to explain to the old woman and pulled her in.
"Mom, if you have anything to say, I'll talk to you later. I'll take her in first to deliver the baby to my siblings."
The mother had no strength at this time, but the cervix was only about seven fingers open. Tao Yaoyao went over to press the fetal position and found that the baby's fetal position was extremely abnormal.
If a silver needle had been used to correct the fetal position at the beginning of delivery, the mother might have been able to give birth smoothly, but now the mother has no strength, and the baby has already reached the cervix. In this position, there is no way to adjust the fetal position.
Now, there is only one way left.
"Searching to remove the child?"
In this era, there was no such bold approach. The woman was surprised and undecided. Tao Yaoyao reminded her, "You only have time for a cup of tea. If you don't make a decision, one or two of them will die." "
The woman was about to go out to discuss with her mother-in-law. The mother-in-law opened her eyes weakly and said, "Save my child. Let's do a dissection. It doesn't matter. Even if I lose my life in the end, it doesn't matter. I just ask the girl to save my child."
"Brother and sister, what are you talking about? Nothing will happen to you or the child." The woman rushed out and pulled her mother-in-law in. This mother-in-law was a sensible person. After hearing what Tao Yaoyao said, this might be a good idea. After being half alive, she almost didn't hesitate and let him disembowel her.
"Mom, wouldn't this be too risky? What if..." The woman still felt it was a bit risky.
But the mother-in-law said, "It's better than one corpse and two lives. Otherwise, how can we explain to Dashan when he comes back?"
The woman thought about it and felt that this was the only way.
Tao Yaoyao is not an obstetrician and gynecologist. This is her first time delivering a baby or having a caesarean section. However, this is not a complicated operation. As long as she is prepared for disinfection and infection prevention, it will be no big deal.
Hot water and wine are ready.
"let's start."
The woman stood aside and acted as Tao Yaoyao's assistant. It was the first time she saw someone opening a mouth on her stomach. She was very scared, but she held on.
"The child was touched. Hurry up and find something to pick up the child."
The old woman had already prepared a small quilt. After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, the woman immediately brought the things over. As soon as she came over, she heard a piercing cry.
"She's pregnant, mother, my second sister-in-law is pregnant."
"Okay, okay, that's great."
Xinghua and Grandma Lai hugged each other and burst into tears. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Xie Lan next to her. Xie Lan was standing under the jujube tree. The noon sun hit his cold face, making him feel tired. Somewhat soft.
He was already very handsome, and he shone more and more under the light and shadow. After Xinghua peeked at him, she blushed and looked away.
It would be great if such a good-looking man was her husband.
"Thank you so much for today, girl. If it weren't for the girl, my daughter-in-law would not be able to pass this test."
During lunch, the old woman entertained them with the best things at home, and she kept saying thank you at the dinner table, which made Tao Yaoyao feel embarrassed.
"I'm a doctor. It's what I should do to treat illnesses and save people. And the fact that we met today is also my fate with your family. Auntie, you really don't need to be so polite."
The old woman was almost sixty this year, but Tao Yaoyao called her aunt, which made the old woman happy and the smile on her lips never fell.
"Sister, are you and this young master together?" Xinghua couldn't help but interrupt.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at Xie Lan, and then nodded pretending to be shy. Xie Lan didn't understand what she meant, but Xinghua guessed what she meant, and immediately lowered her face in disappointment.
After the woman saw Xinghua's thoughts, she followed her words and asked, "Why did you two come to our village?"
This place is located in a remote place, surrounded by deserted people, and far away from the city of Kyoto. Ordinary people don't know this place at all. They are well-dressed, and they don't look like people who would come here.
"Actually...hey, forget it, I look at my aunt, and my sister-in-law is a very good person, so I won't hide it from you. In fact, we eloped."
Tao Yaoyao put down his chopsticks. After saying this, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears.
"My parents disliked his poor family background and refused to let me marry him. However, he and I had promised for life. How could I break that promise? So the day before my parents were going to force me to get engaged, I married him. Sneaked out.
Who knows... who knows, he was still found by his family. We were hiding and hiding, and we ended up here by accident. "
When the woman saw them, they were indeed in a sorry state. Now that Tao Yaoyao said this, she thought it was reasonable.
But, this young man with such a good temperament is actually a poor man?
Both the woman and Xinghua were a little unbelievable.
After Tao Yaoyao saw their suspicion, she sighed and explained, "His father and my father are close friends. His family used to be a wealthy family, but it was only some time ago that their family fell into decline."
So that's it.
It turns out you are so good at making stuff up.
Xie Lan felt that none of the theater troupes in Kyoto City could act like her.
"Do you think I want to play the role of a miserable mandarin duck with you? If sister Xinghua hadn't fallen in love with you, I was afraid that you would ruin your life, so I wouldn't bother to make up such a story."
After the woman prepared a room for them to live in, Tao Yaoyao couldn't stand the way he looked like she was taking advantage of him, so she took the pillow on the bed and threw it away.
"Aren't you in a hurry to get down to business? Why are you still here?"
At this time, a strange male voice came from the yard. Tao Yaoyao and Xie Lan went to the window to look, and saw a man hurriedly entering the mother's house.
This person should be Qiuping's husband Dashan.
Wait a moment
"Did you see the small debris on his body?" Tao Yaoyao had just seen such small debris on the miner's body. It should be iron filings from the iron ore.
There are these debris on the mountain, does it mean...
"You're so lucky."
