Chapter 43: The Birth Storm
The streets were full of people fleeing in a panic, those driving carriages, those walking on foot, and those leading donkeys and sheep, and the road out of the city was extremely crowded. Li Yuche's horn became more and more impatient, but no one gave way, so he had to move forward at a fast pace.
"Are all these people deaf?" Li Yu slammed the steering wheel and said angrily.
"If you kill two people, no one will give you way." Wu Gong quipped.
"In times of war, survival is the most important thing, and at this time, as long as it is not the sound of gunfire, nothing can scare these people." Wang Chuanxiong's face was a little haggard.
Zhu Ge frowned and looked at the fleeing people outside the window, thinking that Wuji Town should be safe at this time.
Wuji Town is only a few dozen miles away from Long County, and Zhu Ge and the others walked for several hours to arrive.
The black and shiny car entered the town and caused quite a stir. After all, although Wuji Town is a town, it is just a poor and remote area that is a little larger than an ordinary small village. The children ran behind the car, and Tie Dan looked out happily in the car. Some adults couldn't help but be curious and followed along to join in the fun.
The car stopped outside the mayor's house, and it wasn't until Zhu Ge walked out that the big guy realized that it was the mayor's friend who had sent the mayor home. But with their mayor, there were not only two strangers, a child like dried vegetables, but also a familiar face.
"Hey, isn't this the bandit leader on Wuji Mountain?" Someone began to whisper.
"Look, why did the mayor help him out of the car? Looks like you're hurt? ”
"How does the mayor get involved with bandits......"
Zhu Ge naturally noticed the eyes of the townspeople, so he had to lower his head and help the martial arts into the courtyard as soon as possible. Wang Chuanxiong got out of the car and squatted under a nearby crooked-necked tree to retch, as if he was motion sick, and Li Yu stood behind him and patted his back.
Tie Dan got out of the car and chased a group of children and disappeared, not knowing where to play.
Zhu Ge struggled to help Wugong into the house and settle him to lie on the kang.
"Why is it so hard!" Wu Gong lay down and sat up again.
Zhu Ge thought about it, opened the wardrobe, took out the tiger skin that Zheng Liang brought down from the mountain and gave him, and spread it on the earthen kang.
"Isn't this mine?" You can't be wrong about your own things.
"This is ......" Zhu Ge didn't know how to explain.
"Alright." Wu Gong lay down sullenly.
Seeing that Wu Gong was lying down, Zhu Ge came to the yard, fetched water in the well, and watered the vegetables in the garden.
The cucumbers in the yard have fallen off their flowers and formed little fat cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, and cabbage are also growing well, but they have not been watered for a few days, and some of them have wilted. The flower furrow next to the stairs is full of unknown small flowers, which are waiting to bloom.
Wang Chuanxiong was half-pushed and half-refused to be carried in by Li Yu, and immediately became energetic when he saw this courtyard.
"You're so nice here!" He shook off Li Yu and walked quickly to the yard to watch Zhu Ge watering vegetables, "I have always wanted to have such a yard, planting some herbs and vegetables, which can save a lot of money and be convenient to use." ”
"This is the house of the former mayor, last year the Japanese devils came, killed both of them, and the new mayor was not sent to the top, so I lived here temporarily, when someone came from above, this place is not mine." Although the words were light, Wang Chuanxiong still heard Zhu Ge's reluctance.
"Since you like it, buy it, do you have any other relatives in this mayor's family?" Li Yu couldn't bear not to pick a fat cucumber at hand.
"I have two daughters and I am married."
At this time, two people ran in from outside the courtyard, and hurriedly shouted at the door: "Mayor of the town, sir, many people have entered the village." ”
When a few people heard it, they thought it was a devil coming, but when they went out to take a look, they realized that it was a refugee from Long County who had escaped.
There were about a dozen or twenty people, and one of them, a man in his fifties, was talking to the townspeople.
Zhu Ge was called over.
"This is our mayor, you better tell him."
As soon as they heard that the mayor was coming, more than a dozen people seemed to have seen a savior, and they sent him to kneel.
Zhu Ge saw that behind the crowd, a pregnant woman was half-sitting on a big rock, sweating profusely and covering her stomach, as if she was about to give birth.
Wang Chuanxiong and Li Yu also followed, after all, it is a place, and those with sharp eyes will recognize it.
"Isn't this Dr. Wang on the street!"
"Isn't that the medicine merchant Li Yu?"
After all, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever, Wang Chuanxiong has seen a lot of patients, and he can also see a few who are somewhat familiar, although Li Yu doesn't know anyone, he can't stand the fame in Long County, and there are few people in the county who haven't seen him.
"Doctor Wang, you can show our family cuihua, it's about to give birth!"
Zhu Ge hurriedly took the pregnant woman's husband and his daughter-in-law to his house. The rest of the people looked at Zhu Ge with hope, and he had to say, "Big guy, let's rest in the town first and drink some water." ”
Wu Gong was lying on the kang and touching the tiger skin to think about his majesty on the mountain, when the door of the bedroom was kicked open from the outside.
When Zhu Ge entered the house, he remembered that there was still an injured person lying here, but he couldn't stand the wailing of the pregnant woman, so he dragged his martial arts to the tip of the kang in a tiger skin. Let the pregnant woman lie on the kang.
"What is this for?" Wu Gong saw that he was going to give birth, but he was still lying on the kang.
"Block him!" Wang Chuanxiong pulled the curtain and stuffed it into Li Yu's hand.
"Zhu Ge, hurry up and boil some water."
Li Yu turned his back to the pregnant woman, holding the curtain to block the martial arts, and the two of them listened to a scream of pain that was higher than a louder, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.
"It's a good thing that men don't have to have children." Wu Gong covered his heart and shivered when he heard it.
"If only I could give birth." Li Yu glanced back at Dr. Wang, who was busy delivering the baby, and said with a grudge.
Wu Gong nodded, then shook his head again.
"What do you mean?" Li Yu said with a smile.
"I can't bear it."
Because he was in too much of a hurry, Zhu Ge, who couldn't care about wiping off the soot on his face, came in with a basin of hot water, and put the basin next to Wang Chuanxiong with a face.
When Dr. Wang, who was already busy, saw him like this, he took the basin and shouted: "What are you doing with so much scruples at this time!" This pregnant woman has a difficult birth, so hurry up and find an experienced midwife in the town, I can't do it alone! ”
Zhu Ge ran out with a red face.
Wu Gong looked unhappy, thinking about when it would be the turn of Lao Tzu's people to shout at others.
"This person has such a temper when he gets busy, don't take it to heart." Li Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and said helplessly.
