Chapter 815: Chapter 794: A Moment of Life and Death! (Part 1)
The rough ride on the carriage caused Su Pan’er and her companions to lurch violently, almost causing Aunt Xiao to take a tumble to the ground.
Yet, the hand with which Su Pan’er administered the acupuncture needles remained as if glued in place, unwaveringly steady!
One after another, the silver needles fell in succession, without the slightest deviation, firm as Mount Tai.
Aunt Xiao stared in a daze at the silver needles in her mistress’s hand, completely forgetting to react.
As soon as the carriage carrying Su Pan’er set out, Su Huarong and Lui Muyi didn’t dare to delay and immediately took action.
Su Huarong took several children onto two carriages and personally carried Little Yanyan onto one of them. He turned to look at the children for a while, then called Qingwen aside and gave her detailed instructions.
Qingwen’s face showed a trace of panic, but she responded much better than Su Huarong had expected. She respectfully acknowledged his orders and then returned to the carriage.
Afterward, Lui Muyi and Su Huarong each took a carriage and headed off in different directions.
By the time a deputy general under Jun Ruochen, Lord Zhang, arrived with several hundred troops in pursuit, the two groups had already traveled a great distance. He immediately ordered the troops to chase in both directions, while he himself turned back to the ruined temple.
Lord Zhang’s subordinates scanned the area around the ruined temple and quickly reported the situation.
"There is a puddle of blood outside the temple, but no one was left inside; evidently, the injured person was also taken away."
Injured?
Although Lord Zhang didn’t understand why there would be an injured person, it didn’t stop him from following the trail.
"Look carefully, see if there are any other traces or clues around!"
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers quickly dispersed to search every nook and cranny.
Before long, they brought back news: "Reporting to Vice General Zhang, bloodstains have been discovered on the mountain path on the other side of the ruined temple, extending far into the distance."
A trusted aide immediately approached.
"This person was injured yet not abandoned; instead, they were covered by two teams during their withdrawal. It seems this person is no ordinary individual. Vice General Zhang, what do you think we should do...?"
Lord Zhang was originally traveling with Qin Feimo via a small path crossing over Deicide Mountain, heading towards the Wumeng Department.
Upon camping nearby and dispatching soldiers to scout for enemy intelligence, his men discovered a suspicious group. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t require his personal involvement, but ever since Qin Feimo issued the Decree of Guilt and abdicated, Lord Zhang had been living in discontentment. Now with the chance to lead troops alone, he went out for some fresh air, and upon receiving the report, he pursued them.
Hearing his subordinate’s reasoning, an idea crossed his mind.
"Quickly assemble the troops, follow the blood trail and pursue! We must capture this person!"
With those words, the soldiers’ spirits soared, and they eagerly prepared for action.
Pursuing the trail, they indeed found the bloodstains not far ahead, and with their hearts buoyed by excitement, they continued the chase.
No wonder, for as Xiao Min was in childbirth and the coachman was driving the carriage in a bid to escape, the bumpy ride spilled quite a bit of blood. The stains slowly dripped through the crevices of the carriage, creating a trail as they moved forward.
Even though Su Pan’er, who was busy saving Xiao Min’s life, noticed the blood, she had no time to cover it up.
Rescue like fighting fire!
Neither Xiao Min nor her child in the belly could wait any longer!
It wasn’t until Su Pan’er inserted the last of the silver needles into the acupuncture point that she took out an especially long silver needle from the bottom of the Medicine Box.
This needle was clearly custom-made, as long as Su Pan’er’s own palm.
It made even Aunt Xiao widen her eyes in astonishment!
"Madam, this needle..."
She glanced at the large needle that was so long and then lowered her head to look at Xiao Min’s round belly with the standard-length silver needles inserted, unable to help but swallow hard.
Her words caused Xiao Min, who was enduring another wave of labor pains with closed eyes, to open her eyes. As soon as she saw the large needle in Su Pan’er’s hand, she couldn’t help but scream out loud, reaching out to grab Su Pan’er’s hand.
"Madam, madam, save me, save my child! I don’t want to die..."
If one could live, who would wish to die?
Su Pan’er didn’t respond, but rather lit the lampwick and carefully sterilized the large silver needle.
Given the crude situation, she had no choice but to sterilize the needle by burning it with fire, aiming to achieve the purpose of disinfection.
Still, she continued to reassure Xiao Min with a calm and composed voice, "Don’t panic! As long as you cooperate with me, I will make sure you have a safe delivery. Even I have not given up, you must not give up either! Understand?"
The labor pains caused Xiao Min to scream continuously, with the strength of her grip on Su Pan’er’s wrist leaving several red marks on her hand.
She could barely nod her head.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side the whole time."
Su Pan’er was inwardly anxious but maintained her composure on the surface, patting Xiao Min’s hand gently, "Let go of my hand, I need to flick the needles for you!"
When Xiao Min finally released her wrist, five finger marks remained.
Su Pan’er acted as if she didn’t see them, and raised her hand to flick the silver needles one by one, her speed dazzlingly quick.
The fourth flick of the needles!
Upon another flick, her internal force would fully travel down the needles into Xiao Min’s body to protect the fetus, rejuvenating the weakened mother. At that point, with another push, she could...
But just at that moment, suddenly a disturbance came from outside the carriage!
Su Pan’er’s complexion changed, and she sharply turned her head to look towards the back of the carriage, her eyes flashing with several streaks of killing intent!
That sharp gaze startled Aunt Xiao greatly!
Her heart skipped wildly for several beats, before she managed to recover from the shock.
Soon after, sounds of horse hooves, clashing swords, and pursuit resonated from outside the carriage, all those noises merging into one chaotic tumult.
Aunt Xiao, terrified, no longer cared about her body being covered in dirty blood from rolling on the ground, and scrambled up hastily, quietly lifting a corner of the carriage curtain to sneak a peek at the situation behind them.
Upon looking, she could no longer contain her panic!
She turned her trembling voice towards Su Pan’er to report, "Madam, madam, they’ve caught up! They’re coming after us, so many people! So many troops..."
Aunt Xiao was so nervous that she couldn’t stop shivering.
Her gaze fell on Xiao Min, whose complexion was pale as death.
Xiao Min’s demeanor was clearly in bad shape, the densely packed silver needles surrounding her belly looked terrifying.
Even without hearing Aunt Xiao’s words, the carriage’s sudden jolts and occasional bumpy leaps were not an optimistic sign. Upon hearing her mother’s words, hope gradually fading from her heart, leaving only a resigned silence, she called out a bit fearfully.
"Madam..."
"Don’t talk! Keep your breath steady!"
Su Pan’er scolded, her hands moving without slowing down, with adept skill, "This is the last flick of the needle, I will needle you again shortly. After this next insertion, you cooperate with me, and try your best to deliver the child as soon as possible. Now, don’t exert yourself randomly, wait for my signal before you push hard. Understand?"
