Medical Concubine Allure

Chapter 18 Helping You Out
I was really lucky today, after walking for a few miles, I came across a new year's car pulling firewood, which happened to be Erni's grandma's neighbor in the village, and the two little girls took the opportunity to get on it, saving a lot of energy.

When we arrived at the gate of the city and looked at the sun, it was almost noon.

Waking up early in the morning, I only ate a bowl of porridge. If it wasn't for the ox cart to bring it over, Ruoya would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Seeing the old man driving the ox cart take out a piece of blackened pancake from his bag, Ruoya could only feel her mouth watering, and the hunger in her stomach seemed to be getting worse.

She turned her face away and didn't look at it or think about it. For such a big girl, no matter how hungry she is, she can't ask for food.

Hearing the old man chuckled, he stretched out his big hand in front of them, but it turned out to be a piece of black pancake.

I heard the old man's simple and honest words, "Big girl, come, eat a little, it's not good."

Ruoya took it with a blushing face, and Erni was even more impolite. She wanted to get acquainted with the old man, and asked him for a piece of black pickle lump, and the two of them just ate it.

Not to mention, this pancake mixed with wild vegetables and black lump pickles is really delicious in the world.

Ruoya grew up so big, it seemed that she had tasted such delicious food for the first time.

She knew that her family's life was too hard. The two meals a day were porridge and wild vegetable soup, which were so scarce that they could be seen. When would their family be able to eat this wild vegetable pancake?

Seeing that the family can't even eat porridge, hey!

They were all poor people who bought some odds and ends, and the soldiers guarding the city gate let them go after a brief inspection.

The old man driving the ox cart brought a load of firewood to the West Market, and Erni and Ruoya came down at the gate of the city.

After all, the capital city is different from the small village they lived in. There are people coming and going everywhere, and there is an endless stream.

The clothes on people's bodies are also much better. Although they are not necessarily made of silk and satin, the material is not something that country people can imagine.

There are shops on both sides of the street, selling everything, and there are hawkers along the street shouting "sweet and fragrant candied haws..." "Big bowl of wontons..."

The aroma came along with the shouting, and the tip of the nose was tickled seductively, making the two big girls, Ruoya and Erni, salivate.

Er Ni was walking on her left, looking around with insufficient eyesight, slurping her saliva and laughing: "If I can sell the eggs at a good price today, I'll also have a bowl of Chaos..."

Ruoya just pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and suddenly there was a rumble in her stomach, her eggs could be sold at a good price, but it was still a question of whether her own herbs could be sold.

Are you going to leave empty-handed?If this is the case, they won't be able to get out next time, and Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Chen will definitely stop themselves at home to be married.

After walking for a while, she and Erni parted ways.Erni went to West Market, while she went to Guangyuan Hall.

Last time, the boy Er Shunzi made it clear that Guangyuantang's business was not doing well, and she really didn't know how to flatter her when she came here.But for those few copper coins, she had to be thick-skinned.

She paused at the door, gritted her teeth, and went in.

There was no one in the room, Ruoya couldn't help being startled, could it be that the Guangyuan Hall was about to close after not coming for a few days?Even the sitting doctor and the buddy were dismissed?Just why is the door still open?
Just as she was thinking wildly, she heard a snoring sound from behind the counter. She stood on tiptoe and looked inside. Er Shunzi was drooling and sleeping soundly!

She breathed a sigh of relief and called out softly, "Brother Shunzi, brother Shunzi..."

Er Shunzi woke up with a start, still holding the feather duster in his hand, looking around in a daze for a while, before he saw who was in front of him.

"Are you here again?" Er Shunzi smiled reluctantly, "Our shopkeeper will be closing tomorrow."

"That's right, I was the one who was abrupt." Gu Ruoya only felt that her footsteps seemed to be heavy, she slowly packed the cloth bag on the ground and stuffed it into the back strap, and then slowly went out the door after carrying it on her back.

The sun outside was just overhead, and the scorching sun made people feel dizzy. She stared at the gradually thinning crowd on the street, not knowing where the road was.

Suddenly, four or five big men rushed out from the corner of the street, followed by two trembling women supporting each other, and they seemed to be running towards this side with all their strength.

Ruoya subconsciously leaned against the corner, looking at this, what is the urgent matter of this group of people?
I saw these people rushing to Guangyuan Hall in a hurry, and a big man in the lead shouted while running wildly: "Doctor, doctor, help me."

Ruoya couldn't help but wonder, why come here when the pharmacy is about to close?

Before I could figure it out, I saw the big man in the lead knelt down towards the boy with a thud, "Little brother, please ask the doctor to come out and take a look. My mother-in-law has been born for a day and a night, and she hasn't given birth yet. Our Isn’t there no other way? As long as you save my wife and baby, I’ll be your pharmacy’s bull and horse…”

He kowtowed on the green bricks in front of the pharmacy, his forehead was already bruised.

Er Shunzi had never seen such a battle before, rubbing his hands and jumping back and forth, not knowing what to do. "We are closing soon, and all the doctors in the hall have gone home. What are you doing here? Besides, how could this pregnant woman be carried here?"

There were more and more people watching outside, including the parturient woman, several big men and women inside.

Ruoya looked carefully at the pregnant woman lying on the door panel with her stomach stretched out through the gap between the crowd. Her complexion was sallow, her hair was wet and stuck to her face, her eyes were closed tightly, and she seemed to have passed away.

But she could clearly see bright red blood oozing drop by drop from under the raised door panel.

The blood of the dead will not be such a color!
So, this woman is not dead yet, there is still hope!
But if it is delayed any longer, it will be hard to say.

The woman's husband was still kneeling and kowtowing, Er Shunzi couldn't take it anymore, finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, went in and called the shopkeeper to come out.

The shopkeeper of Guangyuantang was a chubby middle-aged man, who came out on a very hot day wearing a Lu silk straight gown and swinging a lacquered folding fan.

Thinking about it, he was reluctantly invited out from the back hall by the boy, and he kept talking while walking, obviously eating lunch.

He approached and bowed slightly to the big man who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, as if he wanted to help him up, but when the big man saw the shopkeeper coming out, he had to kowtow desperately, so he didn't care about anything else. of.

The fat shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, rubbed his fat chin, and squeezed out a sentence, "You man, don't kneel here, I'm also a small business. This mother is like this, this is not to damage my reputation ?"
