Hans was a devout Catholic who had traveled across the ocean to China more than a decade ago to spread the Gospel of the Lord to the suffering Chinese people.

It's just that Chinese people are conservative in their thinking, and unless they are desperate (such as Bai Sanye), they will not easily accept such a new thing as foreign religion.

Hans traveled from city to city, but his missionary work did not go well.

Later, he came to Jiaodong by chance, and then entered Jinan from Jiaodong to continue to spread the gospel of the Lord.

However, Hans found that the people of this place were simply more traditional and conservative than in other places.

It was only after a few years in Jinan that Hans learned that this place was the birthplace of Chinese Confucian culture.

In this land, Confucianism has long been engraved into the bone marrow.

Not to mention those sour and rotten literati with big pigtails and shaking their heads, even the poor old farmers in the fields can also open their mouths to say words full of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness and honesty.

Even those "superstitious" middle-aged and elderly women, even if they ask God to worship the Buddha, they will only choose the Bodhisattva or the Taishang Laojun, oh, by the way, and what Taishan grandmother!

God or something, the Lord or something, the local people, don't believe in it at all.

In order to preach, Hans resorted to the most common method of their missionaries: charity!

Adopt orphans, give free medical treatment to the poor, etc., etc.

Fortunately, Hans had studied medicine systematically in Germany, and was barely a doctor, much better than the missionaries who only knew the surface.

Rao is like this, after several years of hard work, Hans relied on his medical skills, and only influenced no more than three digits of "believers"!

However, Hans was a devout believer, and made missionary work his life's work, and no matter how difficult it was in S Province, he was still full of energy.

No, as soon as he got off the train, he heard that someone needed treatment, so Hans ran with his medicine kit.

“...... This grandmother's condition is not very good, I'm afraid she will have a difficult birth. The old man is just a doctor, he can't deliver babies, and he asks the young grandmother to invite another master. ”

An old man with gray hair touched Anne's pulse, then shook his head, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Bai Yufen was about to go crazy.

The staff at the train station were very helpful and invited several doctors, but unfortunately, these people began to shake their heads when they saw "Yang Jiuhong".

After half an hour, the situation of "Yang Jiuhong" became worse and worse.

She could grit her teeth and say a few words just now, but now, the pain was so painful that she could only sweat desperately, but she couldn't say a word.

"Young grandma, a missionary came over, saying that he had studied medicine and was very famous in the Jiaodong area. ”

The little maid leaned into Bai Yufen's ear and muttered in a low voice, "It's just, it's just that this person is a man, or a foreigner—"

The Chinese people of this era are still in awe and rejection of foreigners.

The little maid is also well-informed when she follows Bai Yufen, and when Bai Yufen occasionally socializes, she will also meet a noble lady who believes in foreign religion, so she is no stranger to foreigners.

However, if she is not a stranger, she is not a stranger, and suddenly let a foreigner come to see her family, and the little maid is still a little uncomfortable.

Don't talk about the little girl, even Bai Yufen is a little awkward, their Bai family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, but people want a foreigner to treat their family, if the news spreads, that, that-

The little maid's voice was very small, but Anne still heard it, and she bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the sharp pain made her wake up instantly.

"Jade, Yufen, I, I can't do it, it's okay if I'm dead, but, but the child in the belly is the seed of the Seventh Master, and he must not be fine. ”

Anne said with difficulty, "It doesn't matter if it's Chinese or foreign, whether it's male or female, as long as I can save my child, I'm willing to let him cure." Yufen, please, please!"

Anne looked at Bai Yufen with pleading eyes.

Bai Yufen couldn't stand this kind of look, struggled for a moment, and then gave up, "Alas, forget it! ”

A short time later, Hans came in with a medicine box.

Seeing that it was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, he couldn't help but have a big head.

Uh, I thought it was some kind of headache and brain fever, but I didn't expect it to be a woman's dystocia.

However, although Hans was a strict German, he was not inflexible, and he had been preaching in a foreign country for more than ten years, and he had already developed a good pair of eyes.

With only a cursory glance, Hans could tell from the costumes of Bai Yufen and Anne that, well, these two ladies were people of rich birth and had a certain social status.

If such a noble lady can be allowed to join the church, it will definitely increase the influence of their church.

Moreover, churches also need funds to do charity.

Their missionaries were not bankers, and although the church's main expenses were supported by the churches in the country, it was far away.

In the words of their Chinese, it is "far water cannot quench the thirst of the near".

Their Catholic church, if they want to take root and develop well in China, they need to vigorously tap the local gold lord father in China, oh no, it is a believer!

For the sake of the church's development, Hans gritted his teeth and did not refuse to see a doctor as soon as he came up.

"This lady is not doing well, relying on natural childbirth, I'm afraid it can't. I—I suggest caesarean section—"

Hans took the stethoscope, examined it carefully for Anne, and finally said with some hesitation.

"What caesarean section?" Bai Yufen frowned when she heard this.

"That is, to cut open the belly with a knife, to take out the fetus, and then to sew the belly up. Hans spoke Chinese fairly fluently, but he was afraid that he would not be able to express himself clearly, so he gestured with his hands.

"What? Pull your stomach open? So, can that adult still live?" Bai Yufen exploded when she heard this.

As Bai Jingqi's cousin, Bai Yufen certainly values the child in the belly of "Yang Jiuhong", but she is also a woman, and she is a kind and soft-hearted woman.

Not to mention, but also in this bloody way.

Slit open belly?

This, doesn't this make it clear that Jiuhong wants to die?

"If there are no accidents, such as postoperative infections, there will be no problem for adults. ”

Hans knew that if he listened to him, the conservative Chinese would blow up.

However, medical skills are developing rapidly, and as long as you take care of it, you won't have much of a problem even if you have a laparotomy.

"No, no, I can't exchange Jiuhong's life for a child's life. ”

Bai Yufen couldn't listen to Hans's words, she said to Anne with tears, "Jiuhong, it's really not good, we don't want this child." As the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as you are good, you can have as many children as you want in the future. ”

“...... Yufen, I—I want this child. I have already told the seventh master that I will never go to the capital again in this life, so I will stay in Jinan and live a good life. If the child is gone, there is no point in my life!"

Anne took a deep breath and reluctantly said this, then looked at Hans, "Doctor, whatever method you use, as long as you can make my child okay!"

"No, ma'am, I'm afraid you didn't understand me. Now this lady's condition is critical, and if it is not dealt with as soon as possible, not only the child, but also her!"

Hans said solemnly.
