The pregnant woman was due to give birth in August. She started having abdominal pain around noon today. She thought she had eaten something wrong, after all, it was not the right time yet. However, at the end of the You hour, her water broke, and her family hurriedly called a midwife.
After the midwife came, she entered the labor process according to experience. However, there was only abdominal pain but no signs of delivery. She took the medicine to induce labor and there were contractions, but it was already past midnight and there was still no movement. The pregnant woman was in excruciating pain. The midwife felt that something was wrong and asked someone to invite the Arabic doctor.
Zi'an checked and found that the cervix was very dilated, but judging from the contractions, she was ready to start labor.
"Doctor Ayu, what's the matter?" the midwife asked while wiping the sweat off her face. Li Qi's wife's belly was too big, and she was so thin. She couldn't give birth for a long time, which was really worrying.
"I'll give her acupuncture first, and then you can have someone make a medicine to induce labor." She had also seen folk medicines to induce labor, and usually they didn't contain heavy drugs, but at these dangerous moments, time was life.
After a few injections and taking the oxytocin, the cervix slowly opened and the contractions became more frequent. Zi An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's time to prepare for the birth."
The midwife exclaimed: "Dr. Ayu's medical skills are superb. After a few injections, the patient is fine."
Zi'an smiled and looked at the pregnant woman whose face was twisted in pain. "During childbirth, you push with the contractions. When the contractions come, push hard. When the contractions stop, you breathe in. Do you understand?"
“I know…I know!” Li Qi’s wife’s face looked as if it was soaked in water, and even her hair on her forehead was wet.
Next, the delivery went smoothly and a boy was born.
The midwife held the child in her arms and laughed, "The belly is so big, I thought it would be a big fat boy, but I never thought it would be this small."
Zi'an was slightly startled, looked at the pregnant woman's belly, reached out and touched it, "No, there is another one."
The midwife exclaimed, "Twins?"
Li Qi's wife's mother-in-law came in with clothes and bedding. When she heard there was another baby, her hands trembled with joy, "Really? Really twins?"
When Li Qi's wife heard that there was another one, she was a strong mother and thought she was exhausted, so she drank a mouthful of ginseng soup and continued to work hard. The second one came out crying loudly, and this time, it was a girl.
Twins, a boy and a girl.
"Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, come and see, your wife has given birth to a son and a daughter for you..." Li Qi's mother rushed out and told everyone.
Zi'an stood in front of the bed in a daze, as if his head was hit by something, and many fragments of memories flooded into his mind.
The midwife brought the baby girl over and said happily, "Doctor Ayu, this girl is so pretty. She is so pretty."
Zi'an's face was wet.
"Doctor Ayu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" The midwife asked hurriedly when she saw that she looked strange.
"It's okay, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Zi'an walked out in a daze, forgetting even to bring his medicine box.
Upon seeing this, the midwife quickly asked the Li family to send her away.
"No need, I'll go by myself."
"No, it's going to rain soon."
As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, he saw a ray of light splitting the sky, followed by a loud thunder.
"It's already late autumn, why is there still thunder and heavy rain? Really, the weather is getting more and more weird." Li Qi muttered, but because he was in a good mood today, even if he complained, he said it in a relaxed manner.
When he came out with his umbrella and raincoat, he saw that there was no one at the door. He looked around blankly and asked, "Where is Doctor Ayu?"
With a loud bang, thunder struck, and he shrank back trembling in fear.
The rain poured down with great force. Zi'an walked in the heavy rain, feeling like a fool.
The prime minister's residence, the prince's residence, the palace, the northern desert, Wolf Tail Mountain, Miaojiang, giving birth in a cave, twin boys and girls, her daughter, her husband...
Her name is Xia Zian, not Ayu.
She was trembling all over, and it was hard to tell whether it was tears or rain on her face.
Murong Jie waited in the clinic for a long time. Seeing that it was raining heavily, he asked the medicine boy An where he was going to see patients. The boy told him the address, and he took an umbrella and went out.
Just after I walked out a short distance, I saw a person walking in the heavy rain. She had no umbrella or lantern and was walking very slowly. She was the only one on the dark and rainy street.
Just by looking at a shadow, Murong Jie knew it was Zi'an.
He was extremely anxious, so he quickly went up to her and took out an umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain. "It's raining so hard, won't they take you back?"
Zi'an raised her head, her face covered with rain. She stretched out her slightly trembling hand, her lips also trembling slightly, her heart was filled with grief. She felt sorry for Lao Qi, her daughter was missing.
"I... I'm fine." She concealed the words on her lips, but her heart was shattered by the thunder.
"Go back quickly." Murong Jie sighed and wanted to pick her up, but he was afraid that she would be disgusted, so he had to help her walk.
Zi'an couldn't walk anymore, her legs were shaking violently, especially when she saw Lao Qi, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Will you carry me back?"
Murong Jie was startled and looked sideways at her.
It was hard to tell what the expression was on her face, except that she looked very tired.
Murong Jie squatted down without hesitation, and Zi'an slowly lay on his back, with her face pressed against his. Her heart felt as if it was being pricked by thousands of needles.
Back at the clinic, Murong Jie watched her take a shower and change clothes.
After changing her clothes, he wiped her hair. Her long black hair fell down like a waterfall, but her face in the bronze mirror was still pale.
"I want to go next door and take a look."
Next door, Chu Jing was lying.
Murong Jie didn't want her to go, but knowing that she now regarded Chu Jing as her father, he said, "Okay, go ahead. Come back soon. He should be asleep."
"Can he sleep on a night like this with thunder and lightning?"
Zi'an said softly that he shouldn't be able to sleep on a day like this, and she wouldn't let him sleep. A person who had committed so many evil things would be tormented in pain on a day like this.
Zi'an put on a black coat and went out.
Murong Jie wanted to go with her, but she stopped him, "I'm just going to see him."
Murong Jie had no choice but to stop and look at her anxiously.
Although he knew that she had not recovered her memory, when he saw how kind she was to her enemy, he was filled with anger and pity, anger towards Chu Jing and pity for Zi'an.
What would Zi'an do if she knew that her so-called father had abandoned her daughter and bit off Hu Tou's legs
Zi'an stood at the door of Chu Jing's room, quietly looking at the carvings on the dark wooden door.
Chu Jing indeed didn't sleep. He had been lying in bed all these years. Zi'an made a wheelchair for him, but he seldom went out.
There was no point in him leaving the house before he got the ring and Scarlett.
Lying down for a long time will develop a keen hearing.
He could accurately distinguish footsteps, and even on such a chaotic and rainy night, he knew that it was Xia Zian standing outside the door.
On stormy nights like this, she was worried about him and always came to check on him to feel at ease, and it was the same in the past.
He curled his lips and sneered, "Qin Zhou, even if you come, so what? With Xia Zian as my shield, what can you do to me?"
