The heat of summer subsided and Bajun ushered in autumn wind.

The harvest this year was not good, so the county magistrate Jiang and Mrs. Jiang reduced their food and clothing in the mansion and began to provide relief to the people.

When doing these things, Xiaoman and the children of the Jiang family also went to help together, and even Jiang Susi, who was devoted to reading the books of sages, came.

Most of the people who come to seek relief are thin clothes and pitifully thin.

When Jiang Susi and the others went to help the food supply, Xiaoman walked aside and helped the doctor prescribe the patient.

The schoolchild in the pharmacy is more skillful than her, so Xiaoman can only help a little.

More than an hour later, Jiang Susi asked someone to call Xiaoman back to drink medicine and have a good rest.

Xiaoman stood up, his wrists and waist were sore. She rubbed her wrists and walked back. Just as she was about to return to the county magistrate's mansion, she found a girl curled up and hid there under the tall stone lion, her thin body trembling, like a little beast that was feared by someone.

She walked closer and slowly squatted in front of the little girl.

The little girl raised her face and saw Xiaoman who was treating the disease at the door. She thought she was also a doctor, and tears came out in a flash.

"Wuwuwu help...Living Bodhisattva will save me."

Xiaoman was surprised and asked her: "What's wrong with you?"

Are you sick?"

The little girl leaned against the stone lion, her clothes were gray, and her palm covered her abdomen and looked painful.

Because she cried too miserably, Xiaoman was also worried, but the other party looked hesitant and refused to say it. She persuaded: "You have to tell me where I feel uncomfortable, otherwise the doctor will not be able to treat you."

"My stomach hurts and I'm bleeding..." The little girl's face turned red and she said these words in a stammer.

When Xiaoman heard the bleeding, he became nervous. He looked at the wound on her body and asked in confusion: "Where is bleeding, why can't I find it?"

Her head was pressed very low, and her voice was weak.

Xiaoman asked for a second time, and finally heard what she said, and was stunned for a while.

Then he let out a long sigh, comforted her gently, and touched her messy hair.

"You're not going to die, it's okay."

"But it's been bleeding, what should I do..." She didn't believe it, and continued to ask with tears in her eyes, but her body still couldn't stop shaking.

Xiaoman frowned: "Have your mother taught you these things?"

The little girl's eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't know what Xiaoman said meant.

There were many people in the mansion. Thinking that she might be still scared, Xiaoman found a maid and asked for a cloak.

The little girl was covered in dust and she hesitated to not take it over, for fear that she would be blamed if it was dirty.

Xiaoman patted her and put it on her personally: "It's okay, follow me."

Mrs. Jiang noticed the movements from Xiaoman, turned her head and asked the maid beside her to ask.

When Xiaoman came out with the girl, it had been a long time since the girl's clothes had also changed, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look at people.

Yu Guang, a doctor who had been treating others, glanced at her and did not say anything more. He just wrote a prescription and handed it to the schoolchild.

The girl endured the abdominal pain, and then stopped with a pale face after walking a few steps.

The schoolchild grabbed the medicine and handed it to Xiaoman: "Miss, this is a medicine to replenish blood and replenish qi. You can take it to that girl."

"good."

The work of helping the people was done for a long time, from morning until the sky was dark, and the fireworks-like sunset gradually returned to the dark purple.

Jiang Ruoruo came to persuade Xiaoman and asked her to go back to rest, but she refused.

You can see how the common people struggle to survive at the bottom of the house at the close range. The impact you face in this way is impossible for the text in the book.

After leaving the prime minister's mansion that trapped her, she saw many things she had never seen before in Yizhou and learned a lot of truths.

Although she did not listen to the school with the man, she also read a lot of books, but she still didn't know what she would do in the future.

Han Shi and Jiang thought that they all had their own ambitions and ideals, and even Jiang Ruoruo knew what path they would take in the future.

Only she lives comfortably every day, but when she looks carefully, she is confused and confused and does not know the way forward.

As the sky darkened, the doctor and the medicine boy were about to leave.

Mrs. Jiang asked the maid to urge Xiaoman, but she did not rush to leave, but instead called the doctor.

"Miss, please give me some advice if you have anything to do."

The doctor has been working hard for a day, but his tone is not impatient.

He is the one who treats Xiaoman on weekdays, and he has a good temper.

"Doctor Ye, today I saw many women who have been waiting for a long time, but they still hesitated to step forward.

I ordered someone to come forward to ask, but they were vague and refused to explain the reason..."

Doctor Ye has a white beard, his face is as wrinkles as mountains, rocks and ravines, but his eyes are still calm and sharp.

He spoke, his tone was a little helpless: "I have practiced medicine for many years and have seen countless diseases, but only women's diseases are very rare."

"What disease is so rare?"

Dr. Ye shook his head: "It's not that illness is rare, but that people don't see a doctor."

If you are sick, you should see a doctor. However, women suffer from bad diseases. Unless they are forced to do so, they will avoid medical treatment and are ashamed to tell the doctor in detail.

But more of the poor families don’t know that they are sick at all, but just think that it is a minor problem that will eventually delay the disease.

Female doctors are rare, and they feel ashamed of this, so I can’t help it.”

The schoolchild on the side responded: "No, it was possible that it could have been cured, but in the end it became a serious illness and died.

Half because of thin skin, and half because I really don’t understand, and don’t treat illness as a disease.”

"Doctor Xie, Xiaoman understands."

Xiaoman bowed to Dr. Ye.

After everyone left, the maid asked Xiaoman: "Miss, you asked the doctor what disease did you have just asked?"

"I'm asking about the woman's illness."

After she said that, she also looked at the reaction of the maid beside her.

Sure enough, the maid widened her eyes and looked like she was choked.

"Women...women...why are they asking these questions! They are men, and the lady is not sick, so what are they doing?

It's really...inappropriate."

The maid knew that Xiaoman had a good temper and was in a hurry and was out of order. All the common words that Jiang thought about came out.

Xiaoman smiled and asked, "What's your reaction when you came to Kui Shui for the first time?"

The maid's face turned red and she turned her head and didn't want to say anything.

Xiaoman said again: "I guess, do you think you have suffered some injuries and think you are not going to be able to do it?"

The maid who was poked was ashamed and angry, and her face turned red and refused to look at her.

"It's true."

Thinking of the little girl crying and huddling behind the stone lion during the day, Xiaoman pondered for a moment, and for the first time in his heart, he felt the urge to do something firmly.

——

Xiaoman wanted to compile a medical book written only for women and informed Mrs. Jiang about the matter.

At first, Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Xiaoman would have such an idea, but she still persuaded her: "There is already a "Women's Sutra" in the world, and the records are very detailed. Why do you do this more than anything?"

"The "Women's Classic" is obscure and difficult to understand, and no one will read it except the doctor.

There should be a book that ordinary women can read and understand at first glance, so that they can know what disease they have, what is wrong, and how to do it.”

Xiaoman said, taking a deep breath, as if he was determined.

"Brother and Ruoruo both think it's useless. Although I think it may be useless, if it's useful, it may help many women, and I still want to try it."

Mrs. Jiang looked at her with deep eyes, her face softened, and her eyes were as gentle as spring water.

"I didn't know before that you still have such ambitions.

Your mother knows that she should be happy. If she hadn't gone to the capital, she would have been a famous female doctor all over the world."

After she finished speaking, she pulled Xiaoman's hand, put it on her lap and patted it twice, and said proudly: "When I first met you, you were white and thin, and you were timid and didn't like to talk to others, like a rabbit.

Now you have learned how to get along with others and have what you want to do. No matter what the result is, your adopted mother will help you.

I think I was born into a talented family and lived a comfortable life, but after getting married, I had to restrain myself and I could not make any mistakes in my words and deeds.

Over time, I have to forget what I used to be.

Han Shiyan is arrogant, but as long as he doesn’t make big mistakes, I will not punish him severely.

The same is true for you. If someone thinks that your words and actions are weird and contrary to common sense, you don’t have to pay attention to them.

No matter what you do, someone doesn’t like it, but he wants to live up to his true intentions.”
