Chapter 139 The Miraculous Scarface Doctor During a Difficult Childbirth
Picking up where we left off, suddenly an arrow shot out from the dense forest, and Harry yelled, "Watch out!"
Upon hearing this, Ron and Hermione each pointed their wands to the sky and shouted "Protect yourself!" while the other thrust forward with the tip of her wand, sending sparks flying.
The ball of fire struck the haystack and burst into flames, illuminating a black-haired, bearded man-horse who was drawing his bow and shouting angrily.
"Leave our home, humans!"
Harry, enraged, drew his sword and stepped forward, shouting, "You heartless centaur! I haven't uttered a word, nor have I violated any territory, how dare you attack me from behind!"
"I've come specifically to speak with Brother Ferenze; is this how the centaurs treat their guests?"
The centaur was taken aback by these words, then turned and roared, "Ferencer! How dare you bring humans into our home!"
As soon as he shouted, a shirtless blond centaur came running over and was greatly surprised when he saw Harry.
"Harry?! How did you find your way here?!"
Harry cupped his hands and said, "My two heroes and I had already drawn up a map of the Forbidden Forest, with only five places unmarked. We searched them one by one and finally stumbled upon my brother's lair."
After listening, Ferenczek was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, Harry, I don't know why you asked me to come here, but tonight is not the time."
The bearded centaur roared in agitation, "Frenzer, get these humans out of here! If anything happens to the chief because of them, I'll make you pay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad man stomped out the fire and galloped away.
Frenzer sighed, "Please forgive him, Harry, Bane has never had a good temper. And please go back, tonight is a very important day for the centaur tribe."
"It could be a joy, it could be a tragedy, or it could be a mixture of joy and sorrow..."
Harry was completely bewildered, as if he were listening to gibberish. Impatiently, he said, "Brother, stop playing riddles! Just tell me what happened!"
When Ferenze saw him holding the knife hilt, he suddenly remembered the old story and quickly swallowed all the riddles in his mouth.
"Our leader, the Queen, is giving birth."
Harry was startled, and listened more closely. Sure enough, he could hear the woman's mournful moans, which sounded like the neighing of a horse.
He listened carefully to the sound, frowned, and asked, "How long have you been groaning like this?"
"About half an hour ago? Harry, you'd better not ask around—"
"Oh dear! I've never heard of a birth lasting even half an hour. Could it be a difficult labor?"
"How do you know?" Ferenze's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "But there's no need to worry. The stars tell us that as long as we keep going, everything will eventually be alright."
Harry ignored this and listened carefully for a moment. He shook his head repeatedly, cupped his hands, and said, "It's not that Harry is being nosy, but my brother's voice was unusually harsh, which is probably not a good omen."
"If you believe me, brother, I am willing to offer my humble assistance. I am already a master at midwifery, and I can do it with ease. I will make sure that both mother and child are safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Ferenczek paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Harry, but please leave."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Ron and Hermione both turned their heads to look at Harry, their expressions quite strange.
Nagini hovered over his shoulder, hissing, "Harry, have you ever delivered a centaur's baby?"
Harry chuckled and sat down cross-legged. "I've never even seen a mare, let alone had such an experience!"
"If we're talking about mares giving birth, I've handled dozens of them."
Ron and Hermione both froze in shock, and Nagini nearly fell off his shoulder.
How can a centaur and a horse be the same thing?!
What if they used the previous method?
Ron, fearing that the centaurs might have overheard his words and cause him trouble, hurriedly pulled Harry away.
"Harry, let's hurry up and go."
"You can come a day later."
Harry remained seated and chuckled, "These centaurs seem reckless, unlike the meticulous people who know how to give birth."
"Elder sister and brother, please wait a moment. This horseman will surely come to beg us soon."
"Don't blame me for being pessimistic, Harry," Hermione said after a moment's hesitation, "centaur are very xenophobic, and I don't think they'd want you to help them."
"Ha! Sister, just sit down and watch."
Hermione, upon hearing this, said no more, and sat down next to Harry, placing her hand on his leg.
Before long, a great commotion arose in the woods. A moment later, Ferencze returned with hesitant steps, his face showing great hesitation.
"Hmm... Harry, do you really know how to deliver a baby?"
Ron and Hermione stared wide-eyed at these words.
They actually agreed?!
Harry laughed loudly, straightened his clothes, and stood up, saying, "Brother, please lead the way!"
The three followed Frenzer's winding path. Hermione pondered for a long time, still unable to understand, and couldn't help but ask:
"Harry, how do you know the centaurs will definitely come back for you?"
Harry laughed and said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Where there's life, there's hope'? If that mare dies in childbirth, all that talk about dignity and glory is just nonsense."
"Today, let alone myself, even if Ya Ya could understand human speech and claimed to have the means to deliver babies and save lives, she would still need to ask for help."
These words were truly enlightening, instantly resolving Hermione's confusion.
"Harry, you see things very clearly."
"Sister, you flatter me. I'm just a bit more experienced in human relationships."
Ron scratched his head for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But how can you be sure the other centaurs will agree to her doing this?"
"Oh dear! Brother, didn't you hear what Brother Ferenze just said? That centaur who gave birth is the head of the Forbidden Forest."
"Those who sit in the top position must possess some extraordinary abilities; otherwise, how could they command the respect and authority of the heroes from all directions?"
As they spoke, they reached the depths of the forest. Pushing aside the branches and leaves, they suddenly came upon a clearing. The clatter of hooves from thirty or fifty horses echoed restlessly. From within a plain white tent in the center, faint sounds of neighing and groaning could be heard.
The centaur named Bane suddenly stepped forward, looked down at Harry, and said sternly, "Do you really know how to deliver a baby?"
"Bane! Where did your manners go?"
Frenzer, hearing his rude words, feared he might anger Harry and lose his life.
But Bane pretended not to see it and shouted, "You better be telling the truth. I've seen plenty of liars among you humans—"
Before he could finish speaking, Harry glared at him and snapped, "You damned scoundrel! Trying to fool your grandpa with that pathetic face!"
"Even a dog knows to bow and beg for mercy when it's about to die! You, a half-human, half-horse mongrel, dare to bark!"
There's a saying: the Black Horseman is arrogant and boastful, while the Scarface Man curses wildly. Those who ask for favors must bow; how could they not know this? Those driven to the forbidden forest are the losers; how could they not understand this? To find out what happens next, please listen to the next chapter.
