Chapter 487 Su Xiaoxiao Angrily Confronts the Wizard

Upon hearing this, the witch looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down.

He snorted coldly, "Ha, you want to say this woman is a miracle doctor? More like she's the fraudster!"

Sure enough, the wizard didn't believe that Su Xiaoxiao was a miracle doctor who treated people.

"What kind of doctor? I think she's the one out there faking it all to scam people. I'm only telling you the truth because you seem honest. If you're fooled by her, I won't be responsible. Your wife's condition is critical, have you thought this through, little carpenter?"

The young carpenter was now in a dilemma; he had been hesitating as well.

Now she was even more at a loss, so she squatted on the ground and started crying and wailing.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that the lady lying on the bed had fainted and was on the verge of death, she realized that if she didn't save her now, she might die.

Su Xiaoxiao rushed over and first took the pulse of the carpenter's wife on the bed.

After confirming the pulse, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that the lady's belly was very swollen, as if it was about to explode, and her face was extremely pale; she was about to give birth.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly asked the carpenter to prepare hot water and a wooden basin. After everything was ready, Su Xiaoxiao turned to the witch and said, "Could you please move aside and put away all your ritual supplies? They're in the way."

The wizard was so angry with Su Xiaoxiao that he was about to turn into a fuming pufferfish.

There was nothing she could do; with Qian Musheng watching her intently from the side, she had to restrain herself no matter what she wanted to do.

Qian Musheng wouldn't indulge her. This is a matter of life and death, so she must be extremely careful.

The anxious young carpenter next to her asked Su Xiaoxiao.

"Does my wife have some serious illness? I'm worried that something might be wrong with her health!"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. "No, she's just a little malnourished. Maybe your wife is just physically weak?"

The young carpenter nodded, explaining that his wife had been premature and had always been in poor health. But for some reason, since becoming pregnant, the fetus in her womb had become like Nezha, and even after almost eleven or twelve months, she still couldn't give birth.

This is a very serious problem for anyone.

She had never seen a new mother encounter such a difficult problem before; it was actually the first time Su Xiaoxiao had ever faced one.

What should we do now?

The witch, trying to make her presence known, said, "Nonsense! I think she's in so much pain because of an evil spirit in her body. I never imagined that any other evil spirit could have entered her body and caused her to become like this. As long as we get rid of the evil spirit in her body, we can definitely restore her health and she will be able to give birth to her child smoothly."

The witch was still arguing with Su Xiaoxiao, realizing that Su Xiaoxiao probably knew what she was talking about and was afraid she would take away her livelihood. Su Xiaoxiao stared intently at her and asked, "What kind of evil spirit are you talking about?"

"This must be a female ghost!"

At this moment, the wizard suddenly became very unsure of himself. He probably felt a little unfamiliar with such a lie even when he said it himself.
After all, when it's a lie, no matter how much you try to convince yourself, a sense of guilt will always creep in. Especially in front of someone as righteous as Su Xiaoxiao, the witch's previous conviction was almost completely shattered.

The witch turned to the carpenter and threatened, "Let me tell you, if it weren't for my witchcraft to drive the female ghost out of your wife's body, you would be responsible for the death of both mother and child."

Upon hearing this, the young carpenter became even more confused. To be honest, Su Xiaoxiao didn't know how to describe the situation. Seeing the young carpenter so caught up in his dilemma made her quite angry. Why did this person still believe in witchcraft? Didn't he realize he was already deeply trapped in a vortex of superstition? Didn't he have any idea that he should be aware of this?

Regarding this, Su Xiaoxiao truly admired those people in ancient times and wondered what kind of mentality they had that made them so completely superstitious in ancient times.

However, Su Xiaoxiao also found it quite strange that the superstitions of the ancients still existed, and no matter how she tried to explain them with scientific reasoning, she couldn't make sense of them. What should she do?

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao had no other choice but to look at Qian Musheng helplessly, thinking that Qian Musheng should be able to come and help her this time.

When Su Xiaoxiao thought about herself like this, she realized that some people, even in ancient times, were incorrigible and could not be persuaded no matter what. Su Xiaoxiao also knew that those people's superstition had reached a certain level, and it was impossible to completely eradicate their feudal remnants from their bones.

It's unlikely and unrealistic to completely eradicate feudal remnants from people's minds in a short period of time.

This is a life-or-death moment. It's pointless to talk about grand principles, and it's impossible to completely change a person's mindset in a short period of time.

When the witch saw the young carpenter hesitate, she immediately began whispering in his ear.

"Let me tell you, as the sorcerer you invited, I'm telling you responsibly, you still have to listen to me on this matter. I will take full responsibility for your wife and the child in her womb. You should get rid of this quack sorcerer; he's interfering with my ritual."

It seemed that the young carpenter's heart was immediately bewitched, and he was clearly more inclined to believe the wizard in front of him.

Su Xiaoxiao realized that she was about to be kicked out.

This won't do. Su Xiaoxiao gave Qian Musheng a wink.

Qian Musheng came over and grabbed the witch's hands, preventing her from moving.

Seeing that the young carpenter looked visibly flustered, Su Xiaoxiao confidently told him, "Don't worry, I will definitely cure your wife's illness. I swear on my life that if I can't cure her, I'll pay with my own."

Upon hearing this, the young carpenter waved his hands repeatedly, "That won't do. I invited you here, how can I not do it?"

Su Xiaoxiao continued, "Just keep your heart to yourself."

After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she immediately walked up to the lady and gently touched her neck. Strangely, the carpenter's wife had never been in such discomfort before. She had heard that even though she was a little weak, she was still perfectly normal. How could she suddenly become so weak?
