In her previous life, Lan Yao's most frequent job in the apocalypse was treating people's injuries; she was quite skilled in surgery.
Of course, you won't be proficient at first.
But as more people get injured, the skills naturally improve.
Therefore, she was skilled at tasks like cutting open a pregnant woman's abdomen to take out her baby.
After Lan Yao went in, she didn't even look at the people in the small delivery room. She directly rinsed a few small knives with alcohol, which weren't scalpels.
Then, she heated the knife with a kerosene lamp and walked towards the pregnant woman with the knife in her hand.
The others in the room were terrified when they saw Lan Yao in this state. Some of the bolder women spoke up, trembling.
"You, you, you, what do you want to do? Do you want to kill someone? I, I'm telling you, murder is illegal. We, we'll call the police."
Lan Yao glanced at the other person indifferently and sneered: "Why would I kill her if I had nothing to do? It's not like I'm tired of living."
"Isn't it because you're reluctant to spend your family's money and unwilling to send someone to the hospital?"
As Lan Yao finished speaking, she called out to Gu Zixiao outside, "Gu Zixiao, come in."
Gu Zixiao came in. "What's wrong? Do you need my help?"
Lan Yao said, "I almost forgot about that."
Lan Yao pointed to the people waiting in the delivery room and said, "Make them sign and put their fingerprints on the papers, so they don't cause me any trouble later."
Upon hearing Lan Yao's words, Gu Zixiao instantly understood what was going on.
Gu Zixiao smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll do it."
Therefore, the gentle gaze he had initially directed at Lan Yao turned icy when he looked at others.
He pulled out a piece of paper, quickly scribbled something on it, and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and sign it."
"What are you trying to make us sign?"
Gu Zixiao: "Don't you know what you're signing? Or do you not want your eldest grandson anymore?"
Gu Zixiao has always looked down on people who disregard the lives of others.
Isn't it the same whether you have a boy or a girl?
However, he was determined to have a boy.
That's really ridiculous.
"Of course we wanted it. Back then, back then..."
Suddenly another person walked in from outside; it was the middle-aged woman who had run to Grandma Yu's house late at night earlier.
Seeing this situation, she was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
Gu Zixiao didn't waste any words and said directly to her, "Sign it."
Middle-aged woman: "Sign what?"
Gu Zixiao: "Your family doesn't want to go to the hospital. The baby is breech in the delivery room right now, and the cervix is dilating slowly. If this drags on any longer, the baby will really die."
She's carrying a boy. You don't want to kill both of them, do you?
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's eyes reddened. She looked at the old woman in the room and said, "Good, good! Your family used to keep saying they wanted a boy, and now my daughter is carrying a boy. But when I asked your family to take her to the hospital, they refused to go up no matter what."
Our girl is really unlucky to have such a bad in-law as you.
"In that case, any children your daughter has will take my family name, and my daughter will no longer live with your son."
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she looked at Gu Zixiao and asked, "I can't read, can I just leave my fingerprint?"
Gu Zixiao: "Okay. No problem."
The middle-aged woman was also very decisive and pressed her fingerprint directly.
Since the mother had agreed, Lan Yao naturally had to do it.
So, in the dim light, she skillfully performed surgery on the pregnant woman.
Gu Zixiao was somewhat surprised to see this.
To perform surgery in such an environment, the doctor's skills must be exceptionally strong.
As far as Gu Zixiao knew, among the military doctors he knew, very few were as skilled as Lan Yao.
If Lan Yao knew what Gu Zixiao was thinking, she would definitely say, "This is all from practice."
Given the conditions in the apocalypse, it's impossible for you to choose a location or conditions.
That means being ready to work anytime, anywhere, much like a combat-ready medic.
Lan Yao's surgery was clean and efficient; she quickly pulled a rather large-looking boy out of the mother's belly.
The boy looked all wrinkled and couldn't even open his eyes.
Lan Yao cut the umbilical cord, put the baby aside, and took out the thread that Gu Zixiao had just given her to sew up layer by layer.
While stitching up the pregnant woman, she quietly applied some recovery medicine to her body.
The amount isn't large; it's mainly to help postpartum women boost their immunity and prevent bacterial infections.
Even if only a small amount of recovery potion is used, it is still a high-tech product from the apocalypse and can help heal wounds.
Therefore, the pregnant woman, who had just shown signs of heavy bleeding, had her bleeding stopped with the help of the recovery medication. The medication flowed through her bloodstream and helped her recover, giving her some energy.
After Lan Yao finished the last stitch and tied a neat knot, she said to the new mother, "In about half a month, the sutures on your body will fall off automatically. During this time, you should lie down carefully and not move around too much."
After Lan Yao finished speaking, she took the hot towel that Gu Zixiao handed her and wiped her hands. Then she said to the new mother, "Rest well recently. It's best not to eat for the next two days. You can just drink some water."
If a woman in this condition is taken to the hospital, she only needs to receive some saline solution or other treatments.
Lan Yao had none available, so she could only leave him to endure it.
Since we're already alive, we won't die from starving for a couple of days.
Besides, she had already given the other person a recovery potion, so the other person wouldn't feel too intensely hungry.
The new mother gave Lan Yao a grateful smile. Having narrowly escaped death, she had come to understand.
Her in-laws are completely unreliable. If she had known this would happen, she should have listened to her own mother and married another man.
At least they have jobs and some money at home.
If she were in that situation, the other party would definitely not stand by and watch her die.
It's a pity I regret it now.
After Lan Yao came out, she didn't even look at the family. Instead, she said to Grandma Yu, who was waiting anxiously outside, "Grandma Yu, let's go."
Grandma Yu quickly stepped forward, looked Lan Yao up and down, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Lan Yao: "Mother and child are safe."
Grandma Yu said repeatedly, "It's truly thanks to Lan Yao's blessing."
Gu Zixiao followed behind, "Grandma Yu, I thought you were going to say God bless you."
Grandma Yu glared at Gu Zixiao, "What does this have to do with God? Can God help? Wasn't it Lan Yao who stepped in to help? If it weren't for Lan Yao, that woman in labor would have died along with her unborn child today."
Grandma Yu had seen far too many things like this, but there was nothing she could do about it.
It's just bad luck for women to choose the wrong men.
Therefore, as the old saying goes, a woman's marriage is like a second reincarnation; if she is not born into a good family, she will only have a life of hardship and toil.
