"Uncle Wu, what's going on? Does the other party know you're here to see me? Let me be clear, my medical skills are only at the entry-level level, so I'm not sure if I can deliver a baby, but I promise to do my best to help."
"Also, there's a difference between men and women. I'm willing to help, but what if they don't agree? As you know, in our village, gossip is unavoidable sometimes..."
Braving the snow, Zhou Ziwen followed Wu Dagang to the village, asking about the situation. Of course, he was more worried.
He had seen many times how sharp the tongues of the aunties and grandmas in the village were.
Although the other person may not have bad intentions, this matter is always brought up later. How can the man in the other person's family not have some thoughts?
"It's Li Lei's wife who's having a difficult birth. Don't worry, I've explained everything to them. Just go ahead and help. Li Lei is an honest man and loves his wife. If you can help, please do so."
Wu Dagang understood Zhou Ziwen's concerns very well, so he explained them and told him not to worry.
"It turns out to be Brother Li!" Zhou Ziwen's expression relaxed.
He was quite familiar with Li Lei and knew that he was a simple and honest person with no problems with his character.
Zhou Ziwen was also influenced by later generations. When he heard about saving people, the first thing he considered was whether he would be blackmailed.
"I watched Li Lei grow up. If you can keep his wife and children safe, he will be grateful to you for the rest of his life."
Wu Dagang talked a lot to Zhou Ziwen, with only one purpose, which was to let him feel free to act without any worries.
Zhou Ziwen thought, it would be good if he delivered the baby successfully, but if he didn't, it would be hard to say.
Of course, we still have to wait and see whether we are sure or not.
He wasn't stupid enough to ask why the man wasn't rushed to the hospital.
It's snowing so heavily outside. Not to mention whether we can go out, even if we can go out, it will take an hour or so to ride in a ox cart, and it's so cold outside.
If you really go out, it might be even more dangerous.
Li Lei's house was right next to Uncle Wu's, and the two of them talked all the way and arrived in a few minutes.
As soon as he entered the yard, Zhou Ziwen saw a group of people gathered around Li Lei's house.
"Make way, make way, I'm inviting Zhou Zhiqing over!"
Wu Dagang shouted with full energy, then took the lead in pushing through the crowd.
Zhou Ziwen followed behind and squeezed in.
"I heard that Zhou Zhiqing knows medicine. Is that true?"
"Why do you care whether it's true or not? Secretary Wu said it's true, so it must be true."
"Yeah, Zhou Zhiqing is an intellectual. If he knows how to grow mushrooms, how could he not know how to deliver a baby?"
"These are two different things, okay?"
…
The crowd at the door made way for Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen to enter, while they chatted among themselves.
Zhou Ziwen listened to a few words and found that his reputation seemed unexpectedly good.
Many people blindly believe in the concept of continuous birth.
"It seems I'm still famous!"
Just as Zhou Ziwen had this thought, he was interrupted by Li Lei who hurried out.
"Zhou Zhiqing, please, please save my wife and child!"
Seeing Li Lei, who was about to kneel down in front of him anxiously, Zhou Ziwen quickly reached out to support him, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will save me if I can. Let me take a look at the situation first!"
"I'll take you in." At the critical moment, Li Lei was reliable and took Zhou Ziwen directly to his bedroom.
In the living room, Li Lei's parents were sitting on stools with sad faces, completely at a loss as to what to do.
When he arrived at the bedroom, Zhou Ziwen instantly smelled a bloody smell.
Li Lei's wife was lying on the kang with a pale face. Perhaps considering Zhou Ziwen's arrival, she had already covered herself with a quilt.
Next to the kang, Grandma Shao from the village was holding her hand and cheering her up.
"Grandma Shao, how is Sister Liu?"
While speaking, Zhou Ziwen stepped forward, held Sister Liu's hand, and began to take her pulse.
"Xiao Liu is bleeding severely and is very weak. The baby can't come out." Grandma Shao was a little worried.
She is a midwife in the village. She has encountered cases like Sister Liu before, but the results were not very good.
"It's true that I'm a little qi-deficient, and my blood and qi aren't quite sufficient."
At this time, Zhou Ziwen also finished taking the pulse and spoke.
In fact, the problem is very simple. The mother lost too much blood and was malnourished, so her body was a little weak. Now the baby is in her belly, but she doesn't have the strength to give birth to it.
"Brother Ziwen, what should we do now? Do you have any solution?" Li Lei asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Grandma Shao beside her also looked over. She also wanted Xiao Liu to give birth smoothly.
"I do have a way, but I don't know if it will work." Zhou Ziwen pondered for a moment.
"Brother Ziwen, I know you're capable. Don't worry, Secretary Wu has already made arrangements with me. I'm very grateful that you can come and help. Even if there's nothing you can do in the end, I won't blame you."
"You can go out and ask around. I, Li Lei, always keep my word. No matter what the result is, your brother Ziwen is our family's benefactor."
Although Li Lei is honest, he is also a man with his own opinions. His words were so sincere that Zhou Ziwen felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. Sister Liu's current condition requires replenishing her Qi and blood. I happen to have an old ginseng root at home. Go find my wife and ask her to give it to you. You can just bring it here."
"Then there's massage techniques. I know a little bit about medicine. Once Sister Liu's strength has recovered a little, she should be able to give birth to the baby with my massage."
Zhou Ziwen has already looked at Sister Liu's condition. As long as her qi and blood are replenished, the remaining problems will not be too big. Not to mention him, even Grandma Shao would probably be able to deliver the baby.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Lei didn't say much, just nodded and ran towards Zhou Ziwen's house.
At this time, everything you say is empty.
But in his heart, Zhou Ziwen is the benefactor of their family, regardless of whether the child can be born successfully.
"Xiao Zhou, good, what a good boy."
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's idea, Grandma Shao nodded in agreement.
The method of using ginseng to replenish qi is not uncommon, but what is rare is how to get ginseng of a better age.
The older this thing is, the more expensive it is. Zhou Ziwen took out the ginseng without even thinking about it just now. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
If it were someone else, such a precious thing would have been kept as a family heirloom. Even if someone was willing to spend money, they might not sell it!
"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Shao. I'll have to rely on you later. As a man, it's always a little inconvenient for me."
"It's okay, just leave it to me." Grandma Shao nodded.
If there was no other way, she would not want a young man to come in.
In this era, people are still quite particular about these things.
Putting aside the possibility of gossip, the mere suggestion of bad luck is enough to deter people from visiting. (End of this chapter)
