"Prepare plenty of hot water, and take this medicine to decoct. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl."
"The mother is exhausted and unable to give birth on her own. I will now assist her in inducing labor. Everyone else, please leave!"
In any other era, Lin Xue would have had no choice but to have a cesarean section in this situation.
However, this is a magical continent, and with the help of magic, she can help women give birth smoothly.
After kicking everyone out, Lin Xue placed her hand on the pregnant woman's stomach.
After a day and a night of torment, the woman was completely exhausted and on the verge of death.
If the child isn't born soon, both the mother and child will likely be in danger.
Feeling the faint heartbeat of the fetus in her womb, Lin Xue knew that the baby was alright for the time being.
However, the situation is not optimistic.
Using magic, she gently enveloped the baby inside her, helping him adjust his position.
Then, using her own spiritual power, she replaced the mother's power and pushed the baby out.
This time it went much more smoothly, since the mother's cervix had already dilated sufficiently.
Upon realizing that the baby had been born, the mother rolled her eyes and fainted.
Lin Xue ignored the mother and picked up the baby first. The baby didn't cry after it came out, which meant it had been inside for too long and was suffocating.
They scooped out the amniotic fluid blocking his throat and then patted the baby's bottom while holding him upside down.
"Wow wow wow!"
The child, who was already on the verge of falling into a coma, immediately started crying loudly.
Those outside the delivery room who heard this sound knew that the baby had been born safely, and their previous worries vanished.
The new mother's mother-in-law rushed in and took the baby away.
The prepared medicinal soup was brought in shortly afterward.
The woman had already fainted, so Lin Xue could only use her spiritual power to feed her the medicine.
In this respect, spiritual power is gentler than magical power and is more suitable for healing.
"Xue, how is my daughter-in-law?"
After the baby was cleaned up, the mother-in-law took the baby back to the delivery room.
"Find a few people to change the bedding on the beds in the room, replace it with clean blankets, take the dirty ones out to wash and dry them properly before using them!"
"Then clean the soil off the new mother. I have a postpartum menstrual pad here, put it on your daughter-in-law."
"There was also a case of postpartum hemorrhage. Although it was short-lived and I managed to stop it, she still lost a lot of blood and needs to rest."
"Remember to stew more nourishing and blood-tonifying foods for her to drink. Don't be stingy with those nutritional supplements. If you don't take care of her body now, you'll have to spend more money to have children later!"
After giving her instructions, Lin Xue glanced at the baby.
This is a wrinkled baby, whose skin is reddish because he has been in his mother's womb for too long.
Lin Xue took out a little bit of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and fed it to the baby, giving his weak body a little nourishment.
If she continues to drink breast milk, she will gradually recover.
He'll definitely grow up to be a strong young man.
The baby, who had been somewhat listless, became more lively immediately after drinking the spiritual spring water fed to him by Lin Xue.
Although he only murmured a few times and then kicked his legs, he fell asleep again.
It felt noticeably heavier when I held it in my arms.
"Those who survive a great calamity are sure to be blessed with good fortune!"
"This child is blessed. If we raise him well, he will definitely bring honor to the family in the future!"
After praising her a couple of times, he returned the child to the woman.
Lin Xue then rode the unicorn Mary back home.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard the male head of the household call out to her.
"Snow!"
"These are boiled red eggs from home. Take a few back and share them with Grandma Wujiu!"
"The addition of a new member to the family is a joyous occasion!"
Lin Xue knew this was the usual practice, so she accepted the boiled eggs.
These eggs must have been prepared long ago; the shells have been dyed red.
In many places, there is a custom of eating red eggs when a son is born.
Lin Xue didn't refuse and accepted it directly. She then rode Mary back to the villa in the woods.
Wujiu was already waiting at the door. Although she didn't open the door, her eyes were fixed on it.
The Lin Xue family's house has two doors. The inner door is usually open, and only the outer door is in normal use.
But because of the arrival of winter, Lin Xue closed the doors that were hidden on both sides.
The inner door is made of pure glass, so you can see the outside scenery clearly while sitting inside.
Since winter arrived, Lin Xue has kept both doors closed.
Today, perhaps because she was worried about her, Wujiu opened the outer door but kept the inner door closed.
This way, she can sit in the warm room and see what's happening outside.
"Teacher Wujiu, I'm back!"
After getting off Mary, Lin Xue patted Mary's body, and the unicorn automatically returned to the Fairy Herb Field.
Then he opened the door and went inside.
"Why did John call you over?"
Wu Jiu had been worried at home for a long time, and only when he saw Lin Xue return safely and with a normal complexion did he breathe a sigh of relief.
In previous years, if something like this happened, she would go to the village to show it to the villagers.
Whether it was a villager falling ill or a child getting lost while playing outside, she was the one who handled it.
Now that her disciple is at home, she doesn't need to personally intervene.
But the concern remains the same.
"There was a woman in the village having a difficult labor. She had been in labor for a day and a night but couldn't give birth, so they asked me to go and help deliver the baby!"
"Uncle John is really something, not even mentioning the delivery beforehand. You should have been the one to do it!"
"How could I, an unmarried young girl, possibly know such things!"
"Fortunately, I had delivered babies before when I was homeless, which allowed me to resolve the issue smoothly!"
When Lin Xue recounted the first half of the story, Wu Jiu was still somewhat worried.
But after listening to the second half, Wujiu knew that his apprentice was just being silly again.
"That's good now that it's been resolved smoothly!"
"By the way, what are you carrying? They look like red eggs to me. Did the village have another baby boy this time?"
Wu Jiu, with her sharp eyes, spotted the few red eggs Lin Xue was carrying.
Although we boil eggs at home every day, seeing these few red eggs makes Wujiu really want to eat them.
It's no exaggeration to say that they're sharing in the joy.
When Lin Xue handed her a few eggs, Wu Jiu immediately took one, peeled it, and ate it.
"Teacher Wujiu, these eggs are already cold. Why didn't you let me heat them up for you?"
Lin Xue didn't expect her teacher to be so eager. She had never seen her teacher like eggs so much in the past.
If it weren't for the fact that there's not much to eat in winter, and eggs are very nutritious, plus Lin Xue had raised quite a few chickens before.
Even in this cold winter, with the protection of Lin Xue's magic, the livestock shed remained warm, so the hens did not stop laying eggs.
On the contrary, because they were eating well, they laid eggs even more frequently.
