Wei Meng's party found the stockaded village that Xu Shiguang mentioned, and also met the chief. But the chief could not identify the vermin before him seeing A Miao face to face.
"Boss, what are we going to do?" Shen I asked on the phone. "We tried to convince the chief, but she said she couldn't do anything before meeting A Miao."
Shen Xinglan kept silent for a long time then finally said, "I understand. Wait for my order."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xinglan immediately called Le Yi.
"Can A Miao travel a long way now given her health condition?"
Le Yi and Ling Lang were bathing the baby when Shen Xinglan called him. Hearing this, he knew something must have gone wrong.
"What happened? Does A Miao have to go there?"
Shen Xinglan repeated to Le Yi what Shen I had told him.
"Her health is not the only thing I am worried about..."
Le Yi fully understood his fear because anyone would be afraid if they knew that there was a bug in their belly. The more important thing was that A Miao was carrying a baby. When he thought about a bug living with his baby...
"But if you don't tell her, how can you take her there?" Le Yi knew that it was cruel, but there was no other way.
Shen Xinglan was silent for a moment before replying, "I will take her to the hospital tomorrow, and you can take another X-ray of her."
"What do you mean?"
"If the vermin is still around her heart, it means that it will not affect the fetus for the time being, and A Miao can be relieved a little."
Le Yi hesitated for a moment before asking, "And if the position of the vermin has changed..."
"We'd better just wait for the result before taking any action." Shen Xinglan hung up the phone.
Listening silently near Le Yi, Ling Lang frowned and asked, "What happened to A Miao?"
"That is... I haven't told you before, A Miao..."
When A Miao found out that she had to go to the hospital again, she asked confusedly, "Didn't I just have a checkup?" She suddenly felt something and turned pale. "Did they find something wrong during the last examination?"
"Le Yi wants one more picture before drawing any conclusions." Shen Xinglan tried to be calm. "It's not a big deal. It is just for completing your pregnancy files. He said he did it for Ling Lang during her pregnancy as well."
A Miao blinked her eyes and said, "Does this kind of thing also have to piece together as a set..."
"There is no harm in it anyway." Shen Xinglan squeezed her nose. "I'll go shopping with you after the checkup."
A Miao didn't say anything. The next day she went to the hospital with Shen Xinglan calmly, but she still wondered if there was a problem with her body. Soon afterward, Le Yi took the X-ray film back to his office.
"It's still around her heart. It seems that the vermin haven't moved yet."
Shen Xinglan saw the panicked expression in A Miao's eyes when he took hold of the picture, and he knew that she began to suspect something.
"What happened to me?" A Miao grabbed the X-ray picture and found many little white spots. She looked up and blankly and asked, "What are they?"
Shen Xinglan held her hand and said, "A Miao, listen to me..."
He tried to make the whole story as easy as possible, but A Miao's face immediately turned pale after she heard it.
"You mean, there are... vermin... in my..." She couldn't complete the sentence.
Shen Xinglan hugged her. "Believe me, we can take them out. I will take you to Yunnan Province immediately."
"What about the baby?" A Miao shivered. "They... they're in my body..."
Le Yi immediately said, "They won't hurt your baby. From the X-ray, you can see that the vermin only live around your heart. They don't enter the womb nor affect the fetus."
"Just not yet... Is it going to bite my baby? Perhaps it won't bite but eat my child, ah ah ah!!"
A Miao suddenly went wild and stood up, throwing herself at Le Yi. "Cut me open and take them out, take them out!"
"A Miao! A Miao!" Shen Xinglan shouted in pain and held A Miao tightly into his arms. "Listen to me, listen to me. Wei Meng has found a cure, and I am going to take you there now. Don't act like this! Please! Please!"
A Miao's trembling body slowly calmed down under the comfort of her husband.
With sorrow in his eyes, Le Yi tried to persuade her. "A Miao, everyone is trying to help you. You should be stronger. If you give up, how can the baby in your belly survive?"
"Is it Yu Sihan?" A Miao looked up from the arms of Shen Xinglan. "Did he put the vermin inside me?"
Shen Xinglan looked at her and said, "I promise you that I will make him suffer."
"I'm fine now." A Miao quickly wiped her face. "When are we going to set off?"
Shen Xinglan carefully wiped away her tears and said, "The sooner, the better."
"Then let's go home and pack things up," A Miao said firmly. "Let's set off in the afternoon so that we can take the vermin out sooner."
Although she was scared, she knew that she couldn't do anything now. People need to find reasons to be strong because no one can be brave for you.
With Shen Xinglan and so many friends there for her, A Miao felt obliged to be brave for the sake of Shen Xinglan, herself, her baby, and everyone else.
"It's not the first time you've fallen into despair. Shake off the despair like you did before." Ling Lang rushed to see A Miao before she left. She hugged A Miao and said, "I'll be waiting for you here."
A Miao nodded firmly and said, "Okay."
Four hours later, the private plane landed in the city of Kunming in Yunnan Province. Then they took the train and arrived at Dajiang City the next morning. After five hours of traveling by bus, they reached the stockaded village where Wei Meng was staying.
"Shen, do you want to take a break?" Ouyang Jin asked, looking out the window. There was a vast expanse of beautiful wildflowers covering the sides of the road. Ouyang Jin came along with them to help out.
In order to make A Miao feel comfortable, Shen Xinglan had asked others to find a caravan from the nearest city to provide some room for A Miao to stretch herself out.
"Let me help you get around!" Shen Xinglan said. Strolling halfway, they found that it was time for a meal.
Shen II and Little Demon were responsible for driving. They parked the car under a hillside. There were a few horses not far away, so someone should be living nearby. The food was bought at a hotel downtown and kept in a heat-preserving canister. A Miao only had a little and then stopped.
Shen Xinglan helped her walk among the wildflowers. When they set off again, A Miao felt much better than before and even had some fruit. Then she lay down and chatted with Shen Xinglan. After only a few words, she fell asleep, breathing smoothly.
"Boss, there are still 20 kilometers to go."
When the sky began to get dark, they were close to their destination.
A Miao had not woken up yet, and Ouyang Jin heard her cell phone vibrate.
"Shen?"
Squinting at the caller's number, Shen Xinglan said, "Help me with that."
"..." With a moment of hesitation, Ouyang Jin went to the front and pressed the answer button.
"A Miao!" The voice of He Shishi came from over the phone. "How could you not tell me about such a big thing? How dare you go without informing me? Where are you now? I am coming to find you!"
Ouyang Jin said, "Shishi..."
"..." He Shishi paused for a while before hanging up the phone suddenly.
Ouyang Jin sighed helplessly as he heard the beeping sounds of the phone.
"Here we are." Shen II turned his head and glanced at him.
Seeing a person running at them in the distance, Little Demon unfastened her seat belt and said, "It's Shen I."
"Boss!" Shen I ran to the front of the car.
When little Demon opened the door, Shen Xinglan was holding A Miao in his arms. He said, "Find a place to rest first."
"It's all settled. Come with me!"
Wei Meng and Ding V stood in front of a bamboo building.
"She's not awake yet?" Wei Meng looked at A Miao, confirming that she was asleep.
Shen Xinglan said with a rather low voice, "Let her sleep. Wait for me outside."
Then he entered the bamboo building, put A Miao carefully on the bed, and checked the surroundings thoroughly. He found that it had been cleaned up already because it was so clean here. Everyone else sat down at the stone table in front of the bamboo building. Wei Meng first spoke to him after he came out.
"The chief is a woman in her 50s. Xu Shiguang helped her once before so she agreed to help us. But..."
Shen Xinglan looked at the surroundings against the moonlight and found that this bamboo building was on the far side. So he asked directly, "What requests did she make?"
"She had no requests." Wei Meng shrugged her shoulders. "However, she said that no one here is raising any vermin nowadays..."
Ouyang Jin suddenly screamed, "What did she mean? Isn't it vermin?"
"The chief doesn't think so," Wei Meng said. "She said from her mother's generation, the methods of raising vermin have been lost."
Shen Xinglan frowned and said, "Then why did she want A Miao to come here in person?"
"Because after Xu Shiguang told the chief the symptoms of A Miao, she thought that they were all in line with the characteristics of vermin."
"Will the chief be able to meet us tomorrow?" Shen Xinglan asked.
"Yes, she said that as long as A Miao is here, she can see her at any time."
Looking at his watch, Shen Xinglan found it was almost nine o'clock. "Go back to take a rest." Without knowing when A Miao would wake up, they could not do anything tonight.
Up until they went for a rest, A Miao still hadn't woken up. Shen Xinglan barely slept the whole night, he kept touching her nose from time to time to make sure that she was really sleeping. Doing so relaxed him a bit.
In the morning, Wei Meng came to knock on their door. She arched her eyebrow when she saw Shen Xinglan.
"Still not awake?"
"No."
Wei Meng walked into their room and saw A Miao quietly sleeping on the bamboo bed with a round bulge on her stomach which went up and down along with A Miao's breathing.
"She is truly asleep," touching her neck, Wei Meng said. "Would you like to wake her up?"
As they spoke, A Miao moved her eyelids.
"A Miao," Shen Xinglan called out.
When A Miao slowly opened her eyes and saw Wei Meng, she asked confusedly, "Mengmeng, why are you here?"
"We have arrived," Shen Xinglan said. He went over and helped her up. "You have slept for the whole night. Do you feel hungry?" Shen Xinglan asked.
"A whole night?" A Miao asked. Hearing that, she came to her senses immediately.
"I've been asleep for that long?"
"Yes," answered Shen Xinglan, who was putting a cup of tea up to A Miao's mouth. "We are going to meet the chief. Don't worry about anything."
Wei Meng stood up and said, "I will go first. Later, I will send Ding V to pick you up."
Little Demon managed to get a bowl of porridge somehow. A Miao had some along with a few dishes then she heard Ding V calling them outside. Walking out of the bamboo building, A Miao found that the stockaded village was pretty large. The highest place was the chief's.
It took them about 10 minutes to get there. Wei Meng stood at the door and nodded at her. "Come in."
"Is she the one you mentioned who is suffering from vermin?" said a middle-aged woman who was sitting on a chair placed in the middle of the house. She was wearing a costume of ethnic minority decorated with numerous delicate silver ornaments.
A Miao nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you. Please help us!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Shen Xinglan barely slept the whole night, he kept touching her nose from time to time to make sure that she was really sleeping. Doing so relaxed him a bit.In the morning, Wei Meng came to knock on their door. She arched her eyebrow when she saw Shen Xinglan."Still not awake?""No."Wei Meng walked into their room and saw A Miao quietly sleeping on the bamboo bed with a round bulge on her stomach which went up and down along with A Miao's breathing."She is truly asleep," touching her neck, Wei Meng said. "Would you like to wake her up?"As they spoke, A Miao moved her eyelids."A Miao," Shen Xinglan called out.When A Miao slowly opened her eyes and saw Wei Meng, she asked confusedly, "Mengmeng, why are you here?""We have arrived," Shen Xinglan said. He went over and helped her up. "You have slept for the whole night. Do you feel hungry?" Shen Xinglan asked."A whole night?" A Miao asked. Hearing that, she came to her senses immediately."I've been asleep for that long?""Yes," answered Shen Xinglan, who was putting a cup of tea up to A Miao's mouth. "We are going to meet the chief. Don't worry about anything."Wei Meng stood up and said, "I will go first. Later, I will send Ding V to pick you up."Little Demon managed to get a bowl of porridge somehow. A Miao had some along with a few dishes then she heard Ding V calling them outside. Walking out of the bamboo building, A Miao found that the stockaded village was pretty large. The highest place was the chief's.It took them about 10 minutes to get there. Wei Meng stood at the door and nodded at her. "Come in.""Is she the one you mentioned who is suffering from vermin?" said a middle-aged woman who was sitting on a chair placed in the middle of the house. She was wearing a costume of ethnic minority decorated with numerous delicate silver ornaments.A Miao nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you. Please help us!"
