Chapter 33 Wei Shengxue: Before starting the class, let’s do a forceps delivery
Wei Shengxue let the man go from under her feet and looked away expressionlessly.
"Master..." Princess Yangzi took a step forward and was interrupted by the young woman next to her just as she started to speak.
"Master?! You're the Master of Mount Tai!" She spoke quickly and hurriedly, but clearly. "Master, please save me! The fetus is in a weird position. If I can't be reborn, there will be two deaths. Master, please have mercy!"
Princess Yangzi looked at her, moved her lips, but finally said nothing.
"Master! You are the Master brought back by His Majesty!" The man was covered in the dust of the courtyard and was being helped by servants to sweep the dust off his clothes. When he heard her words, a light of hope suddenly lit up in his eyes.
He knelt on the ground, crawled over using his hands and knees, and kowtowed. "Please, Immortal Master, save my children, save my wife! I'm willing to sacrifice my life! Please, Immortal Master, save them!"
Wei Shengxue tilted her head to look at him, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
She didn't understand why the man who had just murdered without hesitation would now give up all his dignity and beg for her.
As far as she knew, people in this world rarely performed the ritual of kneeling, which was a very serious etiquette.
Noticing the increasingly weak atmosphere in the house, Wei Shengxue suppressed this doubt in her heart and turned to walk into the house.
"Yangzi, wait for me outside."
Princess Yangzi, who had just raised her foot, retreated again.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your mercy! Thank you, Immortal Master!" The man's head and face were covered in dirt, mixed with the blood he had just knocked out. He looked extremely embarrassed and miserable, but his spirit was much better than before.
"Your Highness, I'll go in first." The female doctor, half covered in blood, saluted with her arms crossed and hurried back to the delivery room.
…
As Wei Shengxue stepped into the delivery room, she smelled a strong and pungent smell of blood.
A sweating woman lay on the bed against the wall, her eyes closed, her chest rising and falling weakly, her lower body covered by a thin quilt. The light-colored sheets hanging over the edge of the bed were stained with large patches of dark red, and the blood that could not be contained dripped along the lines onto the footboard beside the bed.
Tick, tick, tick...
Mixed in with the crying calls, a heavy atmosphere of death was exuded.
Wei Shengxue threw seeds into the four corners, and under the stimulation of spiritual power, small light red flowers bloomed. The swaying flowers dissipated the strong smell of blood and awakened the numb pain of the mother.
In the severe pain, the pregnant woman who had fallen into a coma slowly regained consciousness.
A faint moan escaped from the pale lips,
"It hurts... Mother... It hurts so much..."
"Wake up, wake up!"
The female doctor, half of her body covered in blood, rushed to the bedside in a hurry, which frightened Wei Shengxue so much that her eyebrows jumped violently.
I went outside for a stroll, and they didn't even disinfect or clean up?!
Are you going to deliver a baby or to send someone to hell?
A green spiritual light bloomed on the female doctor's body, and spiritual power flowed through every inch of her body, sweeping away all the dirt.
"Thank you for your help, Master. Look at this..."
Wei Shengxue motioned her forward: "Do as you can, and I will save her life."
She has never learned how to deliver a baby, so it's better to let a professional do this technical work.
Although... she looked around and it didn't seem very professional to deliver a baby under such crude conditions.
"ah--!"
A scream escaped from the mouth of the woman in labor, and just by listening to it, one could seem to feel the heart-wrenching pain.
Wei Shengxue rubbed the goose bumps on her arms and retreated to a corner where she could observe the situation conveniently.
"Madam, please bear with it. The fetus in your belly is in the wrong position. I have to turn it over for you first." The speaker was a middle-aged woman. She looked kind, but in the face of the screams, her hands did not slow down at all.
It was the first time for Wei Shengxue to see someone giving birth naturally, and she was a little scared by the tragic scene.
——No wonder everyone chooses to use petri dishes to cultivate offspring. It’s too difficult.
A stream of spiritual power fell on the woman in labor, and soon the screams disappeared.
The woman in labor moved her body, and the pain that seemed to be gnawing at her heart and bones disappeared. The comfort at that moment made her feel as if she was floating.
"Is this a magic spell? This is a magic spell!" She murmured with joy, "I'm saved! My child is saved!"
She gently placed her hand on her bulging belly and said, "Child, the gods have come to save us!"
I don't know how long it took, until the blood was all over the ground, until the smell of blood was so strong that it forced Wei Shengxue to sprout a few more branches to absorb it, until candles were lit in the house...
The middle-aged woman finally announced:
"The fetus is in the correct position!"
"Madam, you are the first person I have ever seen who is still alive after having completed the correct fetal position. May the immortals bless you and you will surely give birth to a big fat boy smoothly."
"Come, ma'am, do as I say."
"One, two, three, harder! Harder!"
Wei Shengxue felt the spiritual energy consumed in her body and roughly calculated how many times the woman had been on the verge of death, and she was shocked.
"It's horrible, horrible! Giving birth is horrible! No wonder most people in our area don't want to raise children. It's simply a nightmare."
If she had not used merit to repair all her injuries some time ago, she might not have been able to hold on today.
…
"No, I still can't give birth."
The middle-aged woman's drawn-out voice sounded cold and cruel.
"The master just now chose Bao Da."
Before the female doctor she was looking at could react, Wei Shengxue got angry first: "I said, I will save her life."
The middle-aged woman immediately nodded and smiled apologetically: "Your Excellency is right. It is my ignorance. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he took out a pair of scissors from the package he brought with him, and said happily in the woman's ear: "Madam, this pair of scissors has successfully delivered dozens of babies. It carries good fortune and will definitely help you give birth to the young master smoothly."
The scissors were red and black. Wei Shengxue thought that the matte texture of the scissors was well made, but when she looked closely, she saw that they were covered with layers of dried blood.
Wei Shengxue:!!!
"stop!"
"You, you, you used this dirty thing on her?!" She was so shocked that she stuttered.
The middle-aged woman shrank her neck and dodged reflexively. This was her subconscious reaction when facing a distinguished person.
Then she stammered and explained her previous words again, which successfully made Wei Shengxue's face even greener.
She directly took out a pair of unused scissors from the space and handed it to the doctor: "Here."
Half an hour later, a cry echoed throughout the yard.
"My child..."
The doctor wrapped the child up and placed him beside her pillow. "He's a very healthy boy."
"That's good."
She caressed the child's face for a moment, then raised her head and tried to smile, expressing gratitude and relief at having survived. "Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving my life."
Wei Shengxue expressionlessly took back the branches that covered half the room, shook her head silently, and turned to walk out of the delivery room.
In the courtyard, excited shouts continued to be heard one after another. She walked to Princess Yangzi's side in a sullen voice and said, "Let's go back."
It was obvious that they were not in high spirits, and the group had no objection. Weishengxue went straight to the corner to set up the formation. Just as they were about to leave through the teleportation formation, a child's voice rang out.
"Sister Fairy, wait a minute."
Wei Shengxue turned around and saw a little girl who was not even as tall as her thighs.
She hid her annoyance and showed her gentleness and kindness to the child: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"
The little girl took out a handful of wild grass from her bosom, picked out the best one, held it high in both hands, and said, "Fairy sister, this is for you. This is the blessing herb I picked for my mother. Thank you for saving her."
Wei Shengxue took the wilted weed and smiled at her: "Thank you for your gift, I like it very much. As long as your mother takes good care of herself, nothing will happen to her."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and teleported away with everyone.
------
Standing in the corridor of the palace, Princess Yangzi looked at the immortal who was still unhappy, and tried to find words to comfort her, but she couldn't even guess why she was unhappy.
This made her feel a little discouraged. It was in vain that she claimed to be considerate. Now even the people couldn't see her mood written on their faces.
She mentioned, almost for fun, "That little girl heard about the Hundred Herb Festival from somewhere. It's supposed to be used for praying for blessings during ancestor worship. I'm afraid she listened halfway and thought it would bless her mother, so she hurried off to pick it."
"Hundred Herb Festival?"
"It is said that if you gather one hundred kinds of grass and offer them during ancestral worship, you will be blessed with peace and safety in the coming year."
Princess Yangzi looked down at the wild grass in her hand and said, "This is radish, a wild vegetable. Both the roots and the leaves are edible."
Xu Shen's Shuowen Jiezi mentioned: "Lu Radish is similar to turnip, but its fruit is like a small turnip."
Although this book didn't exist at the time, people had already started eating this wild vegetable. However, the precious princess knew about this thing because she had done something similar before.
Pulling herself away from her memories, Princess Yangzi noticed that the Immortal's mood seemed to have improved a bit, so she quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "Master, why are you feeling so sad? Why not tell me? Perhaps Yangzi can help you understand."
Wei Shengxue had no intention of hiding it, but her mood, which had improved slightly, began to fall again.
"Are all the delivery conditions here like this? There's no sterilized room, doctors who go straight into the delivery room covered in dust, and doctors who carry dirty scissors into surgery..." She didn't utter the last word, because in her heart she didn't want to consider that person a doctor.
Princess Yangzi was silent.
These are the delivery conditions for women here. Rich families only have softer beds and more midwives, but the most critical step is still to rely on themselves to get through it.
Giving birth is like taking one foot into the grave; this is no exaggeration. This is also why widows who have given birth are particularly sought after.
Wei Shengxue just wanted to talk and didn't really want any response, so he didn't mind her silence.
"Let's go back to our place and plant it first. We must not let the little girl down with her love."
The guards following behind them stopped in their tracks after they entered the Xianyang Palace and watched their figures gradually disappear in the palace corridor.
-----
"Yang Zi."
"I am here."
“I want to open a training class.”
"Um?"
“It’s a classroom that teaches everyone knowledge and skills.”
After a moment of silence, a soft and gentle voice was heard again in the long palace corridor: "What does the Immortal Master want to teach you?"
"We'll teach you how to deliver babies and what you need to pay attention to during the operation. You know the young doctor we met today, right?"
"She is Dr. Xia's granddaughter."
"Oh~ Then I have to ask her to come with me in the first period." The clear voice was filled with anticipation. "I also have to go find Mo Ge and ask him to make something for me."
Wei Shengxue thought about the crude tools she saw today——
At least make the forceps first.
