Chapter 21: Saving Life and Giving Birth
A heat wave came, bringing with it a bloody smell. The doors and windows were closed. How could the woman in labor bear it?
The first thing Yu Banxia did after entering the house was to open the window slightly.
"Who are you, little girl? Who let you in? And you opened the window? You are a woman who has just given birth. How can you withstand the wind?"
A woman scolded unhappily, but Yu Banxia still ignored her. She opened another window a little and then walked to the bed.
"It's early summer now, and she needs to push hard to give birth. It's so hot and stuffy, and it would be even more troublesome if she gets a heat stroke."
"I am the doctor invited by Xu Yong. Do you want to continue chatting with me or let me save people?" In addition to this woman, there was another old woman and a young woman helping in this room.
Everyone's head was wet, which showed how hot it was in there.
When the midwife heard that she was a doctor, she was stunned at first. Just as she was about to say something else, Yu Banxia had already sat down beside the bed.
He first took the woman's pulse, then opened the needle bag, gave her an injection in the arm, and then rolled it.
After a while, the woman woke up.
"You are awake. This is Xiao Yuan Dan. If you take it, it will help you recover your strength. But it is not cheap. I may need to charge you fifty coins, which is already a very cheap price."
"If you are willing, I will give it to you. If you are not willing, I will not force you to buy it."
"Give it to my new bride. We can afford it." Xu Yong's mother spoke quickly.
The young woman next to her froze in surprise, but then she thought that this was a matter of life and death, so she stopped worrying about it.
Yu Banxia gave her the medicine first, and then said to the woman in labor.
"Your fetus is in an abnormal position. I can help you correct it, but this action will be very painful. But as long as you persist, your baby will be able to come out smoothly."
"Your child may have the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. We can't delay too long." When Yu Banxia said this, everyone present was shocked.
There was also a look of inquiry in the midwife's eyes. This little girl was really amazing.
Just by taking the baby's pulse, I found out that the baby was in an abnormal fetal position and the umbilical cord might even be wrapped around the neck?
"Girl, just come on. I'm not afraid of the pain, as long as my child is okay." The woman in labor had regained her strength. Xu Yong's mother saw that she had regained her strength in a short time after taking the medicine.
I also began to trust Yu Banxia more.
Yu Banxia nodded, opened her medicine box and took out a porcelain bottle.
After opening it, a strong aroma of wine spreads out.
Then they saw her find a basin, pour out the wine, and soak her hands in it.
Then he walked up to the midwife and said, "Sorry, please make way."
The midwife responded blankly, then obediently gave way. It was only until Yu Banxia stood in her original position that she reacted.
"How can an unmarried girl like you be a midwife?" The midwife said as she was about to go over, but was grabbed by Xu Yongniang.
"Since the young doctor is here, just trust her." Hearing Xu Yongniang say this, the midwife had no choice but to agree.
Yu Banxia reached in with one hand, quickly touched the child's feet, pushed him up, and used the other hand to touch her belly.
In order to prevent the mother from feeling too much pain, she still used some of her special powers.
"Ah..." The woman in labor finally screamed in pain. The people outside showed joy when they heard her scream again.
"It seems that this young doctor is really amazing. It hasn't been long since he went in, and the patient has already woken up."
"It seems like he really has some skills."
Although the process was painful, with the help of Yu Banxia's special abilities, it didn't take long for the fetus to be corrected.
"Where's the midwife?" Yu Banxia pulled her hand back and shouted to the midwife.
The midwife responded quickly and ran over.
"When your belly feels tight and painful, take a deep breath and put all your strength into this area." Yu Banxia pushed the belly with her hand and said to the woman in labor. Before the woman could respond, a wave of pain came over her.
She followed Yu Banxia's instructions, exerted some force, and then her whole body relaxed.
"Wow..." The midwife skillfully squeezed the liquid out of the child's nasal cavity and spanked the child's buttocks backwards. Soon the child burst into tears.
Yu Banxia walked to another basin of water.
"Auntie, please help me scoop some water so I can wash my hands." Yu Banxia said to Xu Yong's mother.
Xu Yong's mother hurried over, her face full of joy, and kept thanking him.
"Thank you so much, young lady. If it weren't for you, my grandson and daughter-in-law would be in danger."
Yu Banxia smiled at her and said, "As a doctor, your job is to save lives and heal the wounded. Otherwise, what's the point of learning medicine?"
"Sister-in-law, it's a big fat boy." The midwife had already taken care of the child.
The young woman had also wiped the child's body and wrapped him in a swaddle.
"Oh, hahaha, my third child has a successor now, has a successor now, hahaha..." Xu Yong's mother was very happy.
"Old woman, what's the baby?" Old Xu outside also asked happily.
Xu Yongniang quickly replied: "It's a grandson."
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
"Mom, how is my new bride?" Xu Yong's voice also came in.
Xu Yong's mother glanced at her daughter-in-law who was in good health, and once again sighed that the medicine Yu Banxia had given was good.
They were only charged fifty cents, which meant they got a great bargain.
"I'm fine, son. You've hired a good doctor. We must thank him later." Xu Yong's mother smiled happily.
Outside, Xu Yong, his mother-in-law and others were all smiling happily.
"Some damage is inevitable during childbirth. This medicine can help you recover soon." Yu Banxia took out another porcelain bottle and gave it to her with some cotton swabs wrapped in oil paper.
"This cotton swab can only be used once. Repeated use will cause the risk of infection."
The woman in labor wrote down everything and was very grateful to Yu Banxia.
"Thank you, young doctor, for saving my life today. I saw two shadows, one black and one white, standing beside my bed earlier."
"After you came, the two men said that they couldn't take this person away today, and then I was rescued by you. You are my savior."
"Young doctor, please give my baby a name." The woman in labor said to Yu Banxia with a smile, holding the child.
Yu Banxia looked at the little guy and then said with a smile: "Let's call him Jingwang. Jing means prospect and scenery, and Wang means expectation and hope. This name means a promising prospect, implying that he will have a limitless future."
"Okay, okay, I'll call you Jingwang. I don't know what your name is, doctor."
Yu Banxia's words spread, and the people in the yard were also murmuring the name, and they all thought it was a good name.
I didn't expect that Yu Banxia was not only a skilled doctor, but also well-educated.
Those who had previously mocked the old scholar's taking Qiao now suddenly realized that what Xu Xiucai had thrown away was a treasure.
She is good to him and has medical skills. If I marry her, will I still worry about our life?
He is short-sighted and is indeed a thing raised by a widow, not worthy of being shown in public.
This was the thought in the minds of those present.
"My name is Yu Banxia, and I'm from Anping Village." As soon as Yu Banxia said this, the room fell silent again.
