Chapter 178: Another troublemaker arrives
The young apprentice was completely stunned by Wang Youcai's sudden slap.
He never expected that the county magistrate would not even give his master any face.
If I had known, his master was the former head of the Imperial Medical Academy, a position equivalent to the seventh rank.
The magistrate of Changle County in front of him was merely a lowly ninth-rank official; how dare he disregard his master like this?
But before he could figure things out, Wang Youcai slapped him again.
They beat him until his eyes were sparkling, and even knocked out two of his teeth.
It was so tragic that it made one's heart tremble.
Wang Youcai was also startled by the powerful slap he had delivered.
"I... I actually have such great strength..."
The boy spat out two back molars, and pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He suddenly knelt on the ground, covering his swollen and red cheeks with his hands, sobbing incessantly.
Wang Youcai was extremely annoyed by what he heard, so he kicked him to the ground.
"Bah! If you dare bark like a dog again, I'll throw you in jail!"
As the local official in charge, he is the law here.
The young apprentice wanted to continue wailing, but upon hearing the magistrate's words, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
Just in time.
He looked up at the crowd and saw that his master had come.
"Woooooooo..."
The apprentice wanted to complain to his master, to express his inner pain and how he had been humiliated by the lowly official in front of him.
The sage doctor was leading a man dressed in fine clothes as he approached.
He maintained his initial arrogant demeanor.
Even when he saw Wang Youcai, he didn't take him seriously at all and said coldly.
"Who dares to bully my disciple?"
When Wang Youcai saw that the speaker was a decrepit old man with half his body buried in the yellow earth, he replied lightly.
"I am acting in accordance with the law. Do you have any objections?"
As a high-ranking official of the Great Yu Dynasty, he naturally didn't care about the old man in front of him. Even if, as the medicine boy said, he was the former head of the Imperial Medical Academy, what did it matter?
Everything he's doing now is standing up for the eldest prince and avenging the future of the eldest prince's concubines.
Wang Youcai looked at the group with great confidence.
Upon hearing his words, the half-immortal doctor was so angry that his liver trembled. Back in the day, he was someone who could enter the imperial harem.
He not only treated the concubines, but also had the honor of accompanying the head of the Imperial Medical Academy to treat the Crown Prince.
Now, even some nobody dares to bully him; it's simply outrageous.
The more the doctor thought about it, the angrier he became. His face turned extremely ugly, and his deep eyes swept over everyone with anger.
"You petty official, how dare you talk about acting in accordance with the law? I ask you, what law are you acting in accordance with, and what are you doing in accordance with the law!"
"Let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, I won't be so polite..."
Wang Youcai glanced at the man following behind him, thought for a moment but realized he didn't recognize him. He figured he was just a rich man's son.
His face darkened, and he spoke in a hoarse yet penetrating voice.
"Hmph, how I handle matters according to the law is none of your business, you lowly commoner."
"If you dare to utter another word, I will throw you all into prison!"
His words nearly made the fortune teller vomit blood from anger.
He pointed at Wang Youcai with his right hand, unable to utter a word for a long time, only able to make humming sounds.
The two men made quite a commotion, and the onlookers began to discuss whether the former head of the Imperial Medical Academy would be imprisoned by the county magistrate.
Just at this time.
The crowd stirred again, and many simply dressed commoners emerged.
Their eyes were filled with panic as they looked around as if searching for something.
Russian qing.
They finally spotted their target and, ignoring the county magistrate and his yamen runners, headed straight for it.
Fang Xiaoxiao had already set up a temporary operating room for the little girl.
The operating room was enclosed by screens, with a wooden frame bed in the center, along with a wooden IV stand. On the stand, sheepskin bags served as glass bottles for IV infusion.
Below the sheepskin bag are two very thin sheep intestines, which are used for blood transfusions.
Looking at the extremely simple operating room, Fang Xiaoxiao naturally felt a pang of sadness.
She knew that things would be different in modern society, but living in ancient times, everything was scarce, and even glass bottles, which were commonplace, seemed incredibly precious here.
It's almost impossible for people in ancient times to have blood transfusions or surgery if they encountered a major accident.
This is the thought.
Without further ado, she quickly gave instructions to Old Zhang beside her.
"Go and see if the little girl's relatives and friends have arrived yet. If they haven't, tell her mother first and ask Wenjian to help find some people to donate blood."
The quickest way to find out blood type is naturally through parents and relatives.
However, if too much time is wasted, even if a suitable blood type for the little girl can be found in the crowd, it will be too late.
Therefore, we are racing against time now and cannot afford any more mistakes.
As she instructed Old Zhang on what to do next, she handed him the blood type test strips.
She came up with this blood type test strip by chance while researching lipstick shades, and made it on the side. She never expected it to come in handy today.
Although Old Zhang couldn't understand what she was saying, he knew he just had to do as she said.
In terms of getting things done, he wouldn't dare say he's as good as many people, but he's definitely no worse than the average person.
After watching Old Zhang leave, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately spoke a few words to Xiao Cui beside her.
Xiao Cui nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
Soon, the preliminary work for preparing for blood transfusion was basically completed.
She quickly walked out of the makeshift operating room and looked at the girl's mother.
"Sis, have your period started yet?"
The girl's mother looked somewhat dazed, but still nodded to indicate that she had arrived.
She pointed to a group of people in front of her who were looking around.
Upon seeing them, these people hurriedly ran over.
A woman of similar age to the girls' mothers burst into tears as soon as she approached her.
"Little sister, why is your life so miserable? Your husband has only been gone for a short time, how could Nai Nai have encountered such misfortune!"
"Woooooooo..."
The girl's mother seemed to have found her pillar of support, and tears streamed down her face as she hugged her older sister and cried.
At this moment, she was like a dam bursting, releasing her long-suppressed sobs without reservation.
Fang Xiaoxiao, standing beside them, was in tears.
She could understand the heartache in the eyes of the girl's mother at that moment.
Anyone would be devastated if their husband had just passed away and then their child suddenly suffered such a tragedy.
It is truly remarkable for a woman to continue caring for her child after learning of her husband's death.
But it seems that fate always likes to play tricks, making the unfortunate even more unfortunate.
It seems to prefer watching human tragedies rather than happy endings and comedies.
