The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 963: I met an old acquaintance!

Chapter 963: I met an old acquaintance!
Lao Shi dismantled the broken altar in the dilapidated temple and lit two fires, so that the four people could finally warm themselves by the fire and take off their wet clothes and put on dry clothes.

Lao Shi even went out in the rain to cut a few branches, peeled off the bark with a knife, and then strung the dry biscuits that Mrs. Li had prepared for them at home on the branches and roasted them on the fire.

The pancakes were originally baked with oil and salt, and when they were roasted by the fire, the fragrance lingered directly on the tip of the nose.

Lao Shi handed the first baked pancake to Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang thanked him and took it. She then shared the pancake with Qiuxiang.

"Next time we get to the post station, let's buy some dried meat to take with us. If we miss the post station, eating cakes alone won't be enough."

“You should buy it! Buy more!
We have to buy another bag of beans, our horses need to eat too, right?"

"Brother, please consider the horse. If you have candies, buy some more. The horse has suffered a lot following us."

A few people ate and talked while roasting by the fire, which was quite pleasant on this stormy night.

Who would have thought that when Li Sanniang was about to fall asleep wrapped in her cloak, she heard voices coming from the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

Old Eleven picked up the knife beside him and said to Li Sanniang and the other two who had opened their eyes, "Qiuxiang, stay here. I'll go over and take a look."

Qiuxiang nodded, and Lao Shi went to the door with a knife.

When they arrived at the door, the first person to discover Lao Shi was the family's housekeeper.

After some negotiations, Lao Shi went back and told Li Sanniang about the situation.

It turned out that this was a merchant family who were unlucky and were rushing from Shazhou to Liangzhou, but they encountered a night rain and it was difficult to travel. So they got off the official road and went to the side road to look for a place to shelter from the rain.

In this case, wouldn’t that mean we’ve met Li Sanniang and the others?

". Third Lady, I've seen that they are all people who don't know martial arts. They must be telling the truth and are not targeting us."

Li Sanniang nodded and let Lao Shi do what he should do.

After all, this dilapidated temple is not her mother Li San’s home, and any passerby can come in to take shelter from the rain, right?
Unexpectedly, Li Sanniang didn't want to pay attention to this family, but this family came to her with food.

"My wife suffers from a cough, and this temple is filled with dust. Even if she takes medicine, she will still cough a few times.

It is our fault that we have delayed your rest. I hope you will not be angry."

Someone comes to greet you in a nice manner, tells you in advance that there is a patient at home, and even sends you food. What can you do?
I had no choice but to nod my head to agree.

Li Shiyue originally thought that it was just a cough or two, but who knew that in the middle of the night, the lady of this family who was suffering from a cough could not stop coughing.

Now Li Shiyue was no longer worried that the "coughing" sound would affect their rest and delay their journey tomorrow.

She was worried that if the lady continued coughing like this, her life would be in danger.

A doctor has a kind heart, after all, it is someone you have encountered yourself, right?
As soon as Li Sanniang moved, Qiuxiang, who was closest to her, woke up suddenly.

"Third Lady?"

"Qiuxiang, take the medical kit and go take a look."

When the two of them moved, Old Ten, who was just resting with his eyes closed, immediately raised his head.

Senior Brother Shaoyang was sleeping soundly, but he had given himself an acupuncture injection to force himself to sleep and rest.

Senior Brother Shaoyang is worried that he won’t get a good rest tonight and will be delayed in his journey tomorrow.

The three of them walked towards the place where the family was resting, which was on the other side of the ruined temple.

The butler who had brought food to the group stood up immediately and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am a female official in the Imperial Medical Bureau. I was on a business trip and missed the official post station so I took shelter here.

I heard that Madam couldn't hold back her cough, and thought that meeting is fate, if your Madam doesn't mind, can you let me take a look?"

Before the housekeeper could reply, the woman who was half-sitting against the pillar inside asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, is this lady's surname Li?"

Not to mention Li Sanniang's surprise, even the housekeeper himself looked at his wife in surprise. Lao Shi and Qiuxiang were both nervous, fearing that the lady who kept coughing was sent by someone to kill Li Sanniang.

The other hand of Lao Shi touched the hilt of the knife, and Qiuxiang's Emei Spear in her sleeve was also ready. However, the lady smiled and coughed as she said to them, "Third Lady, it's me!"

When the candles were lit, Li Sanniang was able to see the lady's face clearly in the candlelight.

It turned out to be an acquaintance, the person Li Sanniang had saved in the past!
Ah, no, it was Li Sanniang who saved her child back then.

Who is this lady?
It’s Su Wanhui!

At that time, Li Sanniang had just divorced and had not yet joined the Chang'an Medical Alliance as a doctor. She accidentally saved Su Wanhui's only son, Qian Xiaolangjun, in a bakery.

The situation was extremely dangerous at that time. There was a piece of candy stuck in Qian Xiaolangjun's throat. It was Li Sanniang who immediately used the Heimlich maneuver to save Qian Xiaolangjun!

The two families had always had contacts after that, but later, as Li Sanniang entered the Imperial Medical Bureau step by step and became an official, someone from the Qian family worked in the Ministry of Revenue, so inevitably, in order to avoid suspicion, the contacts became less frequent.

So, at this time, meeting Su Wanhui outside Chang'an really surprised Li Sanniang!
"Madam Su, why are you here?"

Before Su Wanhui could say anything, the maid next to her was about to burst into tears.

"Doctor Li, please save our wife!

We were going back to Chang'an to look for you!"

After a quarter of an hour, through the stories told by the maid and the housekeeper, Li Sanniang finally understood why she met Su Wanhui here.

Su Wanhui's husband was later transferred to Yizhou. At that time, Qian Xiaolang was already engaged. The girl's family loved their daughter so much that they said that she should get married after she turned 20.

So, Qian Xiaolang stayed in the Imperial College in Chang'an to study.

Su Wanhui accompanied her husband to Yizhou to take up his post. At the beginning, everything was good. The husband followed her lead, and it was also an unfamiliar place with many new things.

But one autumn, Su Wanhui accidentally caught a cold and was bedridden for several months before she recovered, but she was left with a cough.

Once you catch a cold, you will get sick and no medicine will work.

"The master has invited many doctors to come to the house, and the lady has taken countless medicines, but it has been almost a year, and there is still no improvement.

The master said that we can't delay this any longer, so let us send the lady back to Chang'an for medical treatment!

Who would have thought that I would meet Doctor Li here!

Doctor Li, please take a look at our wife!"

We shall save all the talk of reminiscing about the past until Li Sanniang finishes her consultation.

She put the medical box down, lit two more candles, placed the pulse pillow on top of the medical box, and began to take Su Wanhui's pulse.
