Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 129 Painful
"Little lady, it seems that the sky is about to change, let's go back quickly, don't let the gentleman worry."

As soon as Su Tong hesitated, Ah Zhen had already greeted her and helped her out to get into the car. Sure enough, the weather was about to change. It was originally a sunny day, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered with overcast clouds and strong winds blew up.

Pedestrians on the street immediately quickened their pace, and small vendors also swarmed away in a hurry. Su Tong saw from a distance the group of girls from their family running over with big and small bags, and even A Xia, who had always been steady, ran with flushed cheeks Looking healthier and more energetic than usual.

Su Tong couldn't help laughing, and Axia was obviously not very embarrassed. He casually stuffed the candied haws in his hand to Xiao Yao, and said with a smile: "At my age, I can't compare to those young ones. I'm out of breath after walking a little."

In fact, A-Xia is only in her twenties this year, which is not very big. Women in the Song Dynasty often married late, and they did not shy away from second marriages. She has saved no less than five hundred guan for the money she can spend. And as the business gets bigger and bigger, the money will be more and more, and she is also a rich woman.

Su Tong once thought about having another relationship with A-Xia.

Although Miss Su herself doesn't want to get married so much now, she can hide from this kind of thing if she can, and let's talk about it if she can't, but she still understands that women in this era need a man after all.

It's just that Aunt Thomas tried to persuade him a few words, but Axia still refused to say anything.

She is considered the most mature among this group of women, because she has suffered the most, spent the longest time with those kidnappers, and has a persevering temperament. She is not embarrassed to talk about this topic, and she is anxious to be asked by Aunt Ma. , then wryly smiled and said: "If they can, they still have to find a man, even if they recruit a wife, they have to start a family. I don't care. I have a man. If he doesn't divorce me for a day, I will always marry."

Only then did Aunt Ma know that A-Xia had a husband, so she couldn't help persuading her: "Why don't you send a letter back, maybe your husband is still looking for you? Our little lady is kind-hearted. You have found a job, Axia, you are so capable, the money you have accumulated in your hands in less than a year will be enough for you to go back decently, if your husband knows, he will not offer you up as a Bodhisattva!"

After hearing this, A-Xia's eyes just turned red, and she refused to say anything, but she always seldom cried, and now that she was wronged like this, Aunt Ma couldn't bear to say more.

Su Tong didn't take it seriously, A Xia is very capable, with her here, Miss Su's troubles are much less, and it is not a good thing for a husband like A Xia to go back, let alone this era, just change In the 21st century, how many husbands can have no grudges against their wives who have been trafficked.

Axia's current situation is even worse than Xiaotao and the other little girls. After all, Xiaotao and the others are not married yet, and those kidnappers have left them innocent in order to sell them for a good price. If you can really find a husband who knows the cold and the hot, and is honest, this matter may not have much impact, but it will be very difficult for the few remaining husbands who have husbands.

They even refused to let Su Tong want to deliver letters for them, and Su Tong could guess what they were thinking, probably in their hearts, they were guilty and afraid, although this kind of guilt was unnecessary at all, it was wrong Not these poor women, but this is the way things are these days, women are born to suffer.

A group of people gathered under Su Tong's carriage in a lively manner. A Xia first stretched out her hand to help Xiao Yao into the carriage, and then went up herself, saying to Su Tong: "Little lady, let's go east, we don't know what happened in the west." What happened, it was in a mess, a group of people were crowded, and even the road was blocked."

Su Tong nodded. If it was different, she was always very lively, so she had to go and see, but now she was surrounded by a group of women, so it was better not to make too much trouble.

A group of people got into the carriage, and just walked a few steps, they saw waves of howling coming from the west.

"Son, Erya, you have such a hard life, Erya, don't leave your parents behind, they have nothing but you!"

"Guo Da, Guo Da, why are you so hard-hearted!"

As the sound came, four or five people gathered around a cart and approached slowly. Su Tong looked around and saw that the cart was covered with straw mats, and lying on it was a pale woman with blood dripping all over her body. , The smell of blood came out.

Walking beside the car was Dr. Ma whom I saw in the pharmacy just now. Dr. Ma was carrying a medicine box with a gloomy expression on his back, apparently very unhappy.

Su Tong was stunned for a while, thought for a while and suddenly got out of the car, and walked towards those people. A Zhen was startled, and hurriedly followed, and said in surprise: "Little lady?"

"Doctor Ma?" Su Tong ignored his maid and shouted loudly.

Doctor Ma raised his head and saw that it was Su Tong. He hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young lady, you haven't gone back yet? This day is about to change." Indeed, it was cloudy at the moment, and just after noon, the street The light was as dim as dusk, and walking on the opposite side, it was hard to see clearly at a little distance.

Su Tong smiled: "Just go back, what's going on?"

"Hey." Dr. Ma sighed, "That's the second daughter of the old Liu's family. She had a miscarriage and was bleeding profusely. I prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding, but it didn't help much. Even if she survived, I'm afraid. It will be difficult to have children in the future. Erya married Guo Carpenter just last year. Because of this, Guo Carpenter's mother insisted on divorce Erya. Hey, the old Liu family is also stubborn, so they took After signing the divorce papers and taking people away before he is healthy, Er Ya will not survive after such a toss.”

Su Tong was stunned, and Ah Zhen said in shock, "Just... just because of a small illness, the Guo family is going to divorce their wife?"

There was silence all around, and Guo Da's face turned red, and he didn't even dare to lift his head. After a while, Guo Da's younger sister squeaked: "Our Guo family has his only seedling, Erya can't Well, our Guo family will be gone, and besides, Erya is suffering from a serious illness, so she is already among the seven, so naturally we have to divorce her."

"Sin, since our second girl married into your Guo family, she has worked hard every day, serving her parents-in-law, and dare not be slighted. Even she loves you, my sister-in-law. You eat dry food at home, and she keeps talking at home. Eat thinner ones sparingly, the old hen at home has laid eggs, and will always be tight to your in-laws and you first.”

Erya's mother wept bitterly, "Now that she is suffering, you treat her like this. Is there any reason for this? This, this... I will go to the Yamen to sue you, and sue you for disregarding human life!"

Guo Da grabbed his hair and whimpered, beating his thigh while crying.

But his sister was annoyed: "Don't talk about this, our Guo family doesn't take advantage of it, even if we go to the yamen, the people in the yamen can't say that our Guo family shouldn't divorce Erya, who made her sick, even sacrificed You can’t even pay homage to your ancestors, which family is willing to stay, if you want to make trouble, go ahead and make trouble, anyway, our Guo family is right!”

Erya's mother suddenly lost her voice.

There are a few folks around who are also sad, and they all sigh, but no one can say that the Guo family has done something wrong. If the woman suffers from a serious disease, if the husband's family is willing to show mercy, then it is the generosity of the husband's family. If not, it will be divorced. , It's also normal, no one can fault it.Even if it is reported to the government, this is also an unsolvable problem, and the government must not take care of this matter.

At this time, Erya struggled to wake up, his eyes were confused, and he looked at Guo Da in a daze for a while, Guo Da felt soft, took Erya's hand and cried: "Don't blame me, Erya, don't blame me, I can't If you don't follow my mother, you should know, my mother is not in good health, I can't make her angry."

Erya was speechless, her face was pale and covered in cold sweat, she looked at Guo Da, suddenly curled her lips, and sneered: "Okay, okay, rest well, when I die, I don't need to enter your Guo family's ancestral grave." Well, save yourself the nausea."

Before finishing a sentence, she was dying.

Smelling the strong and pungent smell of blood, Su Tong sighed, walked over quickly, opened the medicine box that A Zhen was carrying, took out a silver needle from it and said, "Don't talk so much, let me find a place to Give you an needle to stop the bleeding, don't worry about anything, it will pass."

A Xia also leaned forward and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead.

Xiao Yao gritted his teeth, without saying a word, and clenched his hands tightly. The six women around Su Tong couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely uncomfortable. They always felt miserable. Now seeing Erya, they don't know why , suddenly felt that a woman like Erya was actually worse than them.

A Xia sighed, and murmured: "How can you marry someone? What's the use of being married, you can only be rich and honored, which man is willing to share weal and woe with a woman?"

Su Tong didn't say a word, just looked at Erya's parents.

Erya's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically, "Thank you little lady for your mercy." In fact, she can't do anything, as long as someone is willing to help now, even if Su Tong seems unreliable, she can only do it. Admit it, you can't just watch your daughter die.

Su Tong breathed a sigh of relief, just now it was not far from the pharmacy, Doctor Ma asked Erya to be sent to the pharmacy, and smiled at Su Tong: "I didn't expect the little lady to give acupuncture? Only Doctor Su can do it in our pharmacy, It's a pity that he has been away for a few days and has not returned."
