Chapter 486 Wizarding Practice
"Little carpenter, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry and covered in sweat?"

Su Xiaoxiao has gotten quite familiar with the villagers these past few days and doesn't seem to have any sense of boundaries.

We're all neighbors, so if something happens, we should help each other out. Everyone has their own troubles sometimes, right? If we keep emphasizing so-called boundaries, then we'll just have to shoulder everything ourselves when problems arise.

If you don't help others, why should they go out of their way to help you? Speaking of which, some young people have recently learned some kind of sense of boundaries from somewhere, and they always say things like how others don't have a sense of boundaries. They are actually quite independent people.

They won't need anyone to help them in the future, nor will they encounter any situations where they feel their stirrups are too short.

"Dr. Su, something terrible has happened! My wife! Please go and see her quickly, she seems to be dying!"

"Didn't you only get married six months ago? What happened to your wife?"

It turns out the carpenter's wife is pregnant, and now they're facing a tricky problem—probably a difficult childbirth.

Su Xiaoxiao's guess was correct. Based on the carpenter's intermittent description, Su Xiaoxiao could roughly deduce that the carpenter's wife had a difficult childbirth. When she reached her due date, she struggled terribly at home but still couldn't give birth.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized it was a matter of life and death, so she quickly packed her things and prepared to go with the young carpenter to take a look.

Qian Musheng also said he wanted to come along, so Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take Qian Musheng with her to the carpenter's house.

The carpenter's house was on the west side of the village. As soon as Su Xiaoxiao arrived at his door, she heard painful screams coming from inside the house.

But besides the heart-wrenching cries of pain, there seemed to be someone jumping and shouting.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the carpenter with complete confusion.

"Why is someone singing in your house?"

Upon hearing this, the young carpenter respectfully explained to Su Xiaoxiao, "No, Dr. Su, it's a shaman I invited from outside. Dr. Su, please keep your voice down, or the shaman will think you're blaspheming the gods."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard this, a smile that showed disdain for others.

"Your house is already in such a state, why would you invite a witch doctor? You really are ignorant and foolish!"

The young carpenter was stunned. He was about to say that Su Xiaoxiao's words were somewhat blasphemous, but Su Xiaoxiao didn't give him any face.

He retorted directly, "The sorcerer's tricks are just a hoax, and you even accused me of blasphemy. Let me ask you, if she could cure your wife's illness, why are you rushing to me in such a hurry?"

"This……"

The carpenter was speechless after Su Xiaoxiao's retort, but he had already invited the wizard over.

It turned out that his wife had complained of a stomachache and was rolling around in pain in bed. He went to the county town to see doctors, but they couldn't find anything wrong.

So, having nowhere else to turn, he sought out a sorcerer. The sorcerer had been performing rituals at their house for a day and a night, but his wife was still crying out in pain.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "What kind of wizard is this? He's just here to scam money."

However, people at that time were very superstitious, so Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to swallow her harsh words.

Qian Musheng wasn't going to let him off the hook. She immediately said, "You really are stupid. Even a good doctor can't do anything about your wife, and you still invited a sorcerer. Those people are just charlatans!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said to the carpenter, "I think you should let me in quickly to see what's going on. Don't continue to believe that wizard's words, otherwise, I'm afraid your wife won't make it through the night."

After saying this, Su Xiaoxiao lifted her skirt and stepped into the carpenter's house. As soon as she entered, Su Xiaoxiao smelled a very unpleasant oily odor, and the whole house was filled with smoke, making her vision very blurry.

Su Xiaoxiao covered her nose and asked the carpenter, "This room smells terrible. Quickly open the windows and tell your wife to ventilate it. Look at how damp this place is, is it even habitable?"

Su Xiaoxiao spoke frankly, and the young carpenter was about to do as she said, but at that moment a woman came out from the innermost part of the house.

She was wearing strange, messy clothes, and looked like she had some serious problem.

Anyway, no normal person would dress like that. Su Xiaoxiao saw that she was staring at her with a very scary gaze.

It felt like she wanted to devour her, but Su Xiaoxiao ignored her.

But she spoke to Su Xiaoxiao first, "Little girl, what do you know? There are unclean things in this house, and this great god is casting a spell to drive those unclean things out of the lady's body."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that all of this was the work of a wizard, who looked particularly sinister.

Facing the witch in front of her, Su Xiaoxiao thought this woman was nothing but a big fraud. Su Xiaoxiao didn't mince words and directly addressed her, "Auntie..."

"Huh? You called me 'Auntie'? Everyone else calls me 'This Great Immortal,' and you actually call me 'Auntie'?"

Su Xiaoxiao actually wanted to call her, "Auntie, just shut up!"

But she was still too soft-hearted. "Auntie, do you know that giving birth requires a better environment? If you keep covering the mother like this, she might suffocate."

"you……"

"What do you mean, 'what do I mean'? I'm just saying you can't do it this way. You know, doing it this way could easily suffocate the mother and the baby."

The young carpenter, hearing this from behind, became anxious and wanted to go open the window.

What are you saying?

"How dare you call me 'auntie'? You've gone too far!"

Su Xiaoxiao noticed the witch seemed a little anxious. She absolutely couldn't let this young girl challenge her position; that wouldn't do. If no one believed her anymore, wouldn't she lose all her business?

Su Xiaoxiao saw that the wizard's face was red with anger, and he was pointing a trembling finger at her.

"Get out of here! This is a place where gods cast spells, not a place for a little brat like you to run wild."

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that the wizard was getting serious, she guessed that she had touched a nerve to make her so angry. It seemed that she must have really angered the wizard to be acting like this.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also knew that this person must be very difficult to deal with.

Despite hearing the wizard curse her like that, Su Xiaoxiao remained calm.

"Master, please don't be angry! This is the divine physician I invited; she is no ordinary young woman."

Upon seeing this, the young carpenter quickly stepped forward to explain, fearing that further misunderstandings might arise and something bad might happen.
