Chapter 105: A Stinky, Smelly Chapter
Song Hongmei introduced them briefly, "This is Captain Lu Zhanlin, and this is Captain Lu's lover, Chu Yue. Sister Chu is skilled in medicine, so she might be able to deliver a cow."
"Her?" Han Shi's thick eyebrows flew up, and doubtful words came out of his mouth.
In his eyes, Chu Yue was a delicate and weak woman, especially when she was with Lu Zhanlin, she looked particularly frail. According to rural thinking, such a woman would probably not even be able to pick up a hoe to work in the fields, let alone deliver a cow. She probably wouldn't even have the strength to hold a child.
It's no wonder that Han Shi made such a fuss and looked down on Chu Yue completely.
Chu Yue felt the contempt in the other person's eyes. She was too lazy to argue and just said calmly, "Whether I have the ability or not, I'll know after I try."
As he spoke, he pushed through the crowd and walked to the center.
“You…you…you…” “Be careful…”
Han Shi wanted to stop Chu Yue, not because of any bad intentions, but because the situation was too bad and he was worried that she, a fair and tender girl, could not bear it.
However, Lu Zhanlin had already blocked Han Shi's way, absolutely preventing Han Shi's hand from touching Chu Yue, and said in a cold and deep voice, "Please let my lover try."
Song Hongmei also hurriedly said, "Sister Chu has delivered babies in the compound before, so she has experience."
How can a midwife be compared to an animal midwife?
Especially a cow of such a huge size!
Han Shi was anxious and angry. He really thought these people were making a fuss! What if the calf didn't come out and the cow was killed? And they just walked away. How would he deal with the villagers' complaints?
Amidst these distrustful gazes, Chu Yue finally saw the cow in labor, and what followed was a... foul stench.
Near this location is a collapsed cowshed. The cowshed itself is smelly, and the cows are incontinent due to fright and difficult labor, so there is a pile of dirty cow dung on the ground around it. The situation is very bad.
If any other woman saw this scene, she would definitely cover her nose and turn away, but Chu Yue only had eyes for the cow lying on the ground.
The cow was very big, almost as big as five or six adult men. Because she was pregnant and had reached the delivery period, the calf in her belly had stretched her belly, making her look even fatter and bulging.
The cow has begun to roll its eyes, its breathing has become weaker, and the air it breathes in is less than the air it breathes out.
This is obviously a very bad situation.
In addition, cows usually give birth while standing, which makes it easier for the calf to be born, but in the cow's current condition, she can no longer stand up.
Because she was lying on her side with her bulging belly pressed against the ground, the difficult delivery situation was made even worse.
Amid the incredulous gazes of the people around her, Chu Yue avoided the dirty cow dung all around her, walked to the cow, checked the cow's condition, and reached out to touch the cow's body temperature.
Fortunately, the situation is not the worst. Although the cow is weak, it has not yet started to suffer from hypothermia, which means it can still be saved.
She walked behind the cow's butt again and looked inside.
"Zhan Lin, flashlight." Chu Yue shouted.
Lu Zhanlin quickly took out a flashlight from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yue. Chu Yue used the flashlight to look inside the cow's birth canal.
The cow has been giving birth for so long that her birth canal has opened and you can reach in and touch the calf's head.
The surrounding villagers also knew about these situations and kept wondering about them.
"What's going on? Who is this? It's time for a calf to be born. Why would we ask a little girl like this to come here? What use can she be of?"
"What nonsense! It's unlucky for a woman to come to a place like this!"
"Captain, huh? Where's Captain Han? Was this woman brought here by Captain Han? Tell us about the situation quickly..."
After they saw the military uniform on Lu Zhanlin, their chattering stopped a lot. Then they saw Chu Yue reaching into the cow's body and looking into the birth canal, with an incredible look on her face.
"She...she can deliver a baby? Can she deliver a calf? Don't be ridiculous."
"I just reached in and touched the calf's head, but I couldn't pull it out no matter how hard I pulled!"
"What should we do... What if the calf isn't born and the cow dies? What will happen to our village?"
While sighing, Chu Yue had already understood the basic situation and withdrew her hand from the cow's body.
Song Hongmei was anxiously watching, "How is it? Sister Chu, can you give birth?"
Chu Yue nodded solemnly, "There is still hope. I will do my best."
This is not only to help the villagers, but also out of her compassion for the cow's life. All things have spirits, and Chu Yue respects every life, and she is deeply touched by this.
For example, the tiger she once delivered was such a ferocious beast that the cub died of weakness after it was born. The mother tiger roared in pain, and then actually adopted a human orphan and kept him by her side. She carefully cared for the baby and let the human child drink her milk so that the baby could survive.
The maternal instinct of animals is above the law of survival of the fittest.
Chu Yue wanted to try her best to save the suffering cow and the calf that had not yet been born.
Han Shi heard Chu Yue's words and immediately rushed over and asked, "Comrade, really? Can you really deliver a cow?"
Chu Yue said again, "I know that both the cow and the calf are very important to you. They are the hope of the entire village. With Sister Song here and my lover here, I won't speak without thinking. I just hope that the calf can be born safely."
After hearing these words, Han Shi's hesitation and contempt became ridiculous, and he stood aside awkwardly.
Lu Zhanlin asked, "What do you need us to do?"
Chu Yue said, "Get the wooden frame. Everyone, carry the frame and make the cow stand up first. If she doesn't stand up, she won't be able to give birth."
Wooden racks and hemp ropes were prepared around the scene. Obviously, these things are often used when cows give birth, so they are prepared in advance.
"Captain Han, are we really going to listen to a little girl? Who knows if she can really deliver a cow?"
Han Shi frowned tightly, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "If she's not allowed to go, will you do it? Can you deliver a cow? Stop talking nonsense! Listen to her! Get on the wooden rack!"
After hearing this shout, those who were originally suspicious of Chu Yue began to take action.
The cow has fallen down. Not only is it huge in size, but it is also very heavy. It is not easy to get it to stand up again, even with so many people helping it.
After the wooden frame was tied up, seven or eight men worked together, and Lu Zhanlin personally went down to carry the wooden frame, but it was still not enough, and the cow still couldn't stand up.
Chu Yue shouted to everyone in the cold wind, "All of you listen to my command and follow the one, two, one. If everyone works together, we can definitely do it. One, two—one, two—one, two—"
“One, two—one, two—one, two—”
Song Hongmei stood aside, shouting slogans loudly along with Chu Yue.
