Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Traveling and stopping along the way, what should have been a journey of a few hours was dragged out until almost dark.

Bai Suihe felt that the weather here was much warmer than in Zhang County, and she also saw many tropical plants.

"It wouldn't be bad to exile them here."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "The climate here is better, and there are many more varieties of fruit. Lychees, which are very rare in Beijing, can be found here."

Bai Suihe was certainly familiar with the terrain here; this was the Guang Province of later generations, and it was much closer to the sea.

"Then let's come back in the summer to enjoy these fresh lychees." Bai Suihe saw the sun already setting on the horizon. "Can we get to the county town before dark?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "There shouldn't be much of a problem. If we can't make it, we can stay overnight in a nearby village."

More villages have sprung up near the county town. Since they have a lot of stuff with them, they can sleep on the carriage as long as they find a place to stay.

This cart was specially ordered by them after they arrived in the county town, and it was much more comfortable than the oxcart they had used before.

Just then, an unexpected incident occurred. Zhou Xingshun, who was driving the cart, glared at the children blocking his way and shouted, "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

"Please, kind sir, save my life..." Two childish voices came from outside the car.

"What happened?" Gu Kaiyuan lifted the curtain. If he hadn't reacted quickly and protected the baby, the child would have been frightened awake.

“Master, these two children suddenly rushed out,” Zhou Xingshun and Song He followed them out. The two of them were also responsible for taking turns driving the carriage. They knew that the sudden stop of the carriage had disturbed their master inside.

"Please, kind sir, save us..." The two children kept kneeling in the middle of the road and kowtowing. Gu Kaiyuan frowned. "We are just passersby. Please step back."

I've never seen anyone beg like this, especially two young children. "Where are your adults?"

"Sir," the older girl said timidly, "my father went into the mountains and hasn't come back, and my mother is about to give birth. Please, sir, save my life."

Upon hearing that she was a new mother, Bai Suihe's heart softened. "What about your other family members?"

Go quickly and get a midwife; if that doesn't work, seek medical help.

The little girl looked up, her face streaked with tears. "We came from the village to borrow some money from our maternal grandparents, but halfway there, my mother twisted her ankle and started having stomach pains."

We haven't seen anyone around, so we have no choice but to beg for your help. We beg you to have mercy and save my mother's life. I will repay you with my life as your servant.

Seeing the little girl in front of her, who was only seven or eight years old, speaking so logically, Bai Suihe couldn't help but soften her heart. It is said that poor children learn to be independent early, let alone in ancient society.

"Where is your mother now?" Bai Suihe suspected this was a trap, but what if it was?
Even if it turns out to be a trap, isn't that what she's been hoping for?
She was now fully armed, but just to be on the safe side, she took out an antidote pill and handed the bottle to Gu Kaiyuan, who was the main fighter here, so it was only right to take precautions.

"My mother is just ahead, please, kind person, save my mother!" The two children continued to kowtow, this might be their only hope.

“Madam, I’ll go take a look first.” Zhou Xingshun handed the riding whip directly to Song He, jumped off the carriage first, and pointed at the little girl, saying, “Take me to see her first.”

Seeing that they were willing to help, the little girl immediately stood up with joy and ran quickly in the direction he had just pointed. "Mom, I found someone to help me!"

The little boy wanted to follow, but Song He stopped him, saying, "You little rascal, just wait here. Don't go over there and cause trouble."

A moment later, Zhou Xingshun came running back, covered in sweat. "Master, Madam, there is indeed a woman about to give birth, and she has fainted."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…” It seems I need to do good deeds for my daughter today.

Bai Suihe said, "Let's go take a look. This is the middle of nowhere, we can't just leave it like this." With that, she jumped off the carriage first, followed closely by the two maids.

When they saw the woman about to give birth, they couldn't help but gasp.

She may have fallen and hit her head, as there was blood on the back of her head. The mother was also pale, and she didn't open her eyes despite the little girl calling and crying beside her.

Bai Suihe had studied medicine for a while, and although she couldn't treat patients yet, she still knew some basic knowledge.

I went over and checked his pulse to make sure he was still alive. I quickly pressed a few acupoints. As soon as he woke up, he looked for his children everywhere. Seeing his two children wiping away tears beside him, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Suihe looked at the back of the head again; there was no more bleeding.

She didn't forget to comfort the child, "Don't be afraid, Mom is alright."

Seeing Bai Suihe and the other strangers, she tried to force a smile, but the pain in her abdomen caused her forehead to break out in a cold sweat. "Honorable ones, the two children are ill-mannered, please don't hold it against them."

Bai Suihe comforted her, "Now is not the time to talk. Your condition is not good. We need to find a midwife or doctor for you as soon as possible. Do you know where there is a midwife around here?"

The woman shook her head. "I don't know."

After saying that, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, clutching her stomach and panting heavily.

"This can't go on. Let's get him into the car first and find someone to save his life as soon as possible."

Bai Suihe and her two maids worked together to lift the person onto the carriage.

"Little girl, do you know where there's a doctor around here?"

Bai Suihe could only place all her hopes on the slightly older girl, but the girl shook her head.

Do you know where the midwife is?

The little girl still shook her head, completely bewildered.

“I know there’s a midwife in the next village. My mother said she’ll have the aunt from next door invite her.”

But I don't know where she is, I can't find her house..."

"Where do you live? We'll help you get home."

The little girl pointed to the mountain path they had come from, saying, "We'll arrive after crossing two mountains from here."

Bai Suihe, "..." Well, their carriage can't get through such a narrow road. Once they've crossed those two mountains, the woman in labor can't wait any longer. She immediately said to Zhou Xingshun and the others, "Let's hurry to the village ahead. Stop and ask any passersby where a midwife or doctor is."

With no other choice, Gu Kaiyuan grabbed the two little ones by the arm and carried them onto the carriage, then sped off towards the county town.

If there are no villages nearby, they can only try to get to the county town today in the hope of saving their lives.

While rummaging through the medicine bottles, Bai Suihe took out the medicine that Granny Pang had prepared for her from her spatial storage. It was a mild and nourishing medicine, as the new mother's body was too weak and she probably couldn't support her childbirth.

The two children stared wide-eyed at Bai Suihe, wanting to ask a question, but not daring to speak.

Bai Suihe: "I just gave your mother her medicine; it's good for her health." (End of Chapter)
