Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Ye Shuangshuang felt that many of the ideas of the founder of the Taian Dynasty, the Grand Ancestor Emperor, were very modern, far ahead of his time, much like a transmigrator.

But if you carefully examine the life of the Grand Ancestor Emperor, he really doesn’t seem like a transmigrator. The Grand Ancestor Emperor had only one Empress and two concubines in his life, and they were not for love; they were brought into the harem for political reasons.

Moreover, the Grand Ancestor was an emperor on horseback, who loved to expand his territory and conquer the world, rarely did he involve himself in sentimental affairs, nor did he enjoy composing poetry. Apart from his forward-looking vision, he showed no signs of being a transmigrator.

Also, Nanzhao was a place conquered early by the Grand Ancestor, and he eagerly established Nanzhao Prefecture, seemingly wishing to develop Nanzhao, but he died before the construction could begin.

Once the Grand Ancestor Emperor passed away, his successor retracted all preferential treatment towards Nanzhao, had no regard for Nanzhao, and even regarded it as a haven for exiling criminals.

Whether the Grand Ancestor was a transmigrator is not important to Ye Shuangshuang; what matters most now is to find a place to settle down.

Today, not having to rush on the road was a rare occasion, and Ye Shuangshuang wanted to take a good rest and sleep in, as she hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.

But when looking for an inn, she discovered that communicating with the locals was complete gibberish; neither party understood what the other was saying.

The scenery here in Nanzhao was so beautiful, and the weather had warmed up, everyone was well-equipped, and the journey had mostly been in a camping mode, so long without communication, she had forgotten that the language of Nanzhao was different from that of the Central Plains.

In the end, Ye Shuangshuang communicated with the shopkeeper using pen and paper, and paved the way with Silver, finally getting a place to stay.

Later, Ye Shuangshuang again used Silver to pave the way, with the shopkeeper’s assistance, bought a small two-story courtyard house in Nanzhao Prefecture, finally providing a nest for everyone to settle in.

After getting a house and buying all kinds of furniture and daily necessities, the first thing Ye Shuangshuang did was to find two locals who could speak the official language, to teach the Ye Family the Nanzhao language.

Ye Shuangshuang didn’t know how long the Ye Family would stay here, but to survive in a place, not understanding the local language and being unable to communicate was absolutely not feasible.

Fortunately, most of the residents in Nanzhao Prefecture were Han people, so the language was quite unified, and even the few ethnic minorities living there spoke the same as the Nanzhao Prefecture people.

Moreover, most minorities lived in the mountains, needing no interaction, since Nanzhao had many hills, and the climate was very favorable, living in the mountains was quite easy.

Ye Shuangshuang was the fastest to learn the language, followed by Ye Jingyi and Ye Jingfei. These two were younger and quickly adapted to another language, while the others struggled a bit more.

Among them, Ye Feiying and Ye Fangchen were the slowest learners. To Ye Shuangshuang’s surprise, Bai Menghan and the Shen Family learned surprisingly fast, able to communicate outside after just three months.

Though the two spoke slowly, they could at least make themselves understood.

Once Ye Shuangshuang learned the Nanzhao language, she planned to open a medical practice, to diagnose and treat patients.

Ye Shuangshuang was someone who acted immediately on her thoughts. Once she decided to open a medical practice, she couldn’t wait any longer, almost immediately looking for available properties for sale.

Ye Shuangshuang didn’t plan to rent a place; renting was too troublesome. She wanted to directly buy a shop, and then hire a few servants to take care of daily life for the family.

Opening a medical practice didn’t cost much; Nanzhao was remote, property prices were low and worthless; with 100 taels of Silver, Ye Shuangshuang bought a shop in an excellent location.

After buying the shop, Ye Shuangshuang casually renovated it, installed medical cabinets and some small items necessary for a medical practice, and started taking patients.

But Ye Shuangshuang was a bit too young, so many people didn’t trust her medical skills. Ye Shuangshuang didn’t care; she was happy to tinker with making medicine balls by herself every day.

Besides tending to the medical practice, Ye Shuangshuang spent most of her energy on nursing the health of the Ye Family. Now that everyone was living together, there was no shortage of money, life was very good.

Ye Shuangshuang originally thought her medical practice wouldn’t have visitors for at least half a year, but just as she was thinking this, people came in.

It was a man, dressed in what seemed to be Bai Clan clothing. This man rushed in and seeing Ye Shuangshuang, immediately approached emotionally, speaking rapidly in Nanzhao dialect.

The man’s speech was very fast, yet very simple in meaning. His wife was giving birth, but complications arose, and now the child couldn’t come out, having been stuck for a whole day and night.

The hired midwives had no solutions and suggested preparing for funerals. Not willing to see both wife and child die, the man ran out, finding the nearest medical practice to seek help.

Simply put, the man didn’t trust Ye Shuangshuang’s medical skills but rather, driven by urgency, sought desperate measures in desperation, thus arriving at Ye Shuangshuang.

With lives at stake, Ye Shuangshuang dared not hesitate, grabbed her medicine box and ran after the man, luckily, his residence was within Nanzhao Prefecture.

And it was very close to Ye Shuangshuang’s medical practice, just a couple of streets away, where the courtyard entrance of the man’s home was wide open, and crying sounds seemed to emanate from inside.

When Ye Shuangshuang followed the man inside, wails filled the place. Hearing them, the man was even more anxious, pulling Ye Shuangshuang to rush further in.

Inside the house, a woman with a large belly lay on the bed, her eyes unfocused, covered in sweat, her hair all wet and stuck to her face.

Beside the pregnant woman sat an older-looking woman, holding her hand and crying, her eyes filled with despair.

Several other women were present, varying in age, all with tears in their eyes, looking mournful, as though the woman still breathing was about to die the next moment.

The man, witnessing this scene, found his legs giving out, kneeling to the ground and unable to move forward, collapsing where he stood.

Ye Shuangshuang quickened her pace, went over to set down the medicine box, grabbed the woman’s wrist to check her pulse, and then felt her belly.

This household seemed quite wealthy, so this pregnant woman ate very well, and the child in her belly was over-nourished and quite large, making birth difficult.

Even more troublesome, this child was in an abnormal position, and the pregnant woman herself was petite, so natural birth was impossible.

Ye Shuangshuang took out her silver needles, using a few to first stimulate the pregnant woman’s energy and spirit. Sure enough, after being needled by Ye Shuangshuang, the woman’s face showed more blood color, and her unfocused eyes gained consciousness, turning towards Ye Shuangshuang.

Seeing the woman coming to her senses, Ye Shuangshuang then turned to the women in the room and said: ”Who will go out to get something for her to eat? She needs to eat to regain strength.”

The women in the room exchanged glances, then the woman who was sitting and crying beside the pregnant woman earlier was the first to react. She immediately got up, grabbing two other women, and rushed out.
