Chapter 255: Misunderstanding
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying nimbly cut open the pregnant woman’s belly, layer by layer, until she reached the uterus and scooped the baby out.
However, the baby did not move at all. She turned the baby’s body upside down and patted the soles of his feet hard. After Su Ying patted him many times, the baby still did not respond. She placed the baby flat straightaway and pinched his mouth open to see if there was any residual amniotic fluid in his body.
After that, she performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
When Yang Zhong regained consciousness, he saw Su Yin pressing rapidly on the baby’s chest using two fingers, a deep frown on her face
He forced himself up and was about to rush forward when he heard a baby’s cry. The tribal chief was stunned for a moment.
After Su Ying confirmed that the baby was fine, she turned around and saw that the tribal chief had regained consciousness. She placed the baby in his hands and said, “The child is fine now. Clean it up yourself.” After saying that, she turned around and stitched up the open wound on the pregnant woman’s belly.
The tribal chief looked at the wriggling child in his hands. No one knew what he was feeling, but he quickly pulled himself together and wrapped the child in a cloth that had been prepared earlier.
When he saw that the tribal chief had woken up, Zhang Nuo’s nerves tensed up. The tribal chief was not so easy to stop.
“Tribal Chief, City Lord Su is really saving lives,” Zhang Nuo said earnestly.
The tribal chief stood where he was and didn’t move forward anymore. Instead, he watched as Su Ying stitched up the wound bit by bit.
After that, he saw Su Ying take out some obscure item from the cloth bag and stuffed it into his wife’s hand. Finally, she pulled the blanket nearby and covered his wife with it.
Only after doing all this did Su Ying turn around to look at the tribal chief.
“She should be fine now. Fortunately, the child came out in time. However, such a big opening was cut in her belly that it might be dangerous for her to give birth again in the future. It’s best that she doesn’t give birth anymore.”
Su Ying was being so harsh because the medical standards here were definitely not good. If the mother got pregnant again after a few months of recovery, Su Ying couldn’t possibly stay here to watch over her all the time. The possibility of something going wrong was very high.
The tribal chief walked over to the bed in disbelief and reached out to touch Ana’s body. He found that her body was warm, and only then did he believe Su Ying’s words. His wife was really still alive.
Su Ying cleaned the bloodstains on her hands in the basin beside her.
“Zhang Nuo, let’s go.”
Su Ying raised her head and found that Zhang Nuo’s face was almost scratched into disfigurement by the tribe’s women who were trying to barge in.
The corners of her eyes twitched. This kid was quite hardworking.
“Let’s go.”
Zhang Nuo felt a burning pain on his face. After hearing Su Ying’s words, he quickly pushed the women who were on top of him away and turned to leave.
These women were really scary when they scratched people. He was downright frightened so it was better to flee at once.
The two of them were surrounded by the tribe’s warriors when they stepped out of the yurt.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. To be honest, she didn’t want to fight with them. After all, their roasted whole lamb was quite delicious.
“City Lord Su, are we leaving just like that?”
“No one’s coming after us?” Su Ying asked with a frown.
Zhang Nuo shook his head. “No. The tribal chief still seems to be in a dream-like daze. He hasn’t come back to his senses.”
Su Ying let out a breath. Her expression became dejected. “Then let’s walk slowly.”
Zhang Nuo looked at the warriors in front of him. Even if they wanted to walk faster, there was no way they could do so.
“Please wait.”
Su Ying stopped in her tracks, but she did not immediately turn around. Instead, she said with a chilly expression, “What’s wrong, Tribal Chief? You still want to fight me one-on-one, do you?”
Su Ying felt that she controlled her tone very well. Xiao Jin had said before that some fights should be avoided if possible. As for those opponents who were flushed with riches, it might be a better choice to be friends with them instead.
The tribal chief walked up to Su Ying and sincerely gave her a very respectful bow that was unique to the Shepherd Tribe.
“Thank you for saving my wife and child, City Lord Su. You are our great savior.”
The tribesmen were dumbfounded when they heard this. They were still fighting these two to the death just now. How did they become benefactors in such a short while?
“Your wife’s situation is indeed critical. I guess your wife and 1 are destined to meet.”
“It’s snowing heavily outside. Please come inside and talk, City Lord Su.”
The tribal chief’s tone had become very polite.
What Su Ying didn’t know was that the Shepherd Tribe didn’t have a doctor. Whenever their tribesmen fell sick, they would almost always go to other tribes to seek treatment from those tribesmen or get medicine. Thus, they had a sense of reverence for those who had medical skills.
Su Ying didn’t put on airs and followed him into another yurt straightaway.
The inside of the yurt was covered with wool carpets, and it was exceptionally warm when one stepped on it. There were no heating tools inside, yet it was much warmer than the outside.
The tribal chief invited Su Ying to sit on a chair and even instructed someone to bring in the beef, mutton, and wine that they had cooked tonight.
“City Lord Su, I misunderstood you previously. This cup of wine is my toast to you, City Lord Su. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
Su Ying picked up her wine cup and downed the wine in one gulp. “It’s good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. If we can get along peacefully, why do we need to fight?”
“City Lord Su, you are right.”
“I wonder if City Lord Su can tell me about Sky Alpha City. That place is still too unfamiliar to people like us on the outside,” the tribal chief said.
“If 1 say that I don’t know much about that damn place, you probably won’t believe me. I only took over that place a while ago. The previous Empress had committed many evil deeds and was killed by me. I am now fully in charge of that place.”
The tribal chief had never seen how perverted the previous Empress Wei Ji was. He had only heard from his elders that they should stay away from that place.
The people living there were all monsters. This was also why they reacted so strongly when they found out that Su Ying came from Sky Alpha City.
“Tribal Chief, if you are really curious, you can send someone to follow me back to take a look. I plan to buy some cattle and sheep back.” Su Ying didn’t plan on doing this before she came, but now she changed her mind. There were so many cattle and sheep. It would be a pity if she didn’t bring some back with her.
Furthermore, all this going back and forth had taken almost a month. She missed her children and if she stayed away for too long, the two little fellows would definitely think that she had left them.
The tribal chief didn’t agree immediately, but asked, “City Lord Su, how many cows and sheep do you want to buy?”
“Not that many. Give me a hundred cows and sheep each first.”
“When do you want them?”
“Three days later. When your wife’s condition is completely stabilized, I’ll leave.”
When he saw Su Ying speak so frankly, the last bit of doubt in the tribal chief’s heart was dispelled.
“City Lord Su, thank you for your concern. Come, come, come. Please eat while it’s hot. Our beef is definitely not available anywhere else. City Lord Su, try it quickly.”
Su Ying was someone who had almost finished one whole roasted lamb on her own. She felt that she was full, but she had exercised just now. Thus, she picked up a roasted beef leg without any qualms and began to eat in big mouthfuls.
Beef was more chewy than mutton, but it was hard to chew, and her cheeks became sore from chewing.
After Su Ying ate and drank to her heart’s content, the tribal chief ordered someone to boil hot water for Su Ying to wash up before personally bringing her to a spacious and brand-new yurt.
Su Ying was really full tonight, so much so that the burps she released were filled with the smell of beef and alcohol.
She was a little woozy after drinking wine and lay down straightaway on the bed.
Just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she saw a figure walk in..
