Li Erya's pulse was deep and strong at this time. Mu Huaixi didn't find any major problems when he tested her at first. Instead, he was worried that she had eaten too well during pregnancy and the fetus was too big to be delivered.
At this time, she saw that she had severe abdominal pain, uterine contractions came and went, and she complained of chest tightness and headache at times. We suspected that she was suffering from a cold caused by wind and wind, which led to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and the fetus could not be delivered.
However, Li Erya's cervix had not yet opened, and Mu Huaixi could not force the labor for fear of harming the fetus. She asked Sang Dahe to hold Erya's feet in his arms and rub the Taichong point on the back of her feet to help relieve the pain.
Li Erya's screams gradually faded, and Zhang Daxi started yelling again, "Doctor Mu, Doctor Mu, something bad has happened! The baby's hand is out!"
Zhang Daxixi wiped the sweat off her head again and again. She was nearly half-white, but she kept kneeling on the ground to adjust the fetal position for Yu Xiuhong. She really tried her best, but Yu Xiuhong was weak and the fetus in her belly was also affected, which affected the adjustment of the fetal position.
"Doctor Mu, what do you think? Should I put it back in or..." Zhang Daxi looked at the tiny hand that was sticking out alone and couldn't make up his mind.
Generally speaking, all births except those with the head coming out are difficult, but births with the hands coming out first are more dangerous than births with the feet or buttocks, because the overall horizontal position of the fetus makes it impossible to deliver smoothly, and the midwife dare not apply any external force at will, so it can only be stuck awkwardly.
Mu Huaixi frowned and quickly searched the medical books she had read. Finally, she directly inserted the needle into Taichong and Sanyinjiao, using the tonification method to insert the needle three-tenths. She pinched the needle with two fingers and shook the end of the needle at a very small frequency. She didn't know how many times the needle vibrated within a hundred breaths. Then she saw the little palm that had just stretched out slowly retracted due to the rapid contraction of the uterine opening, and she immediately withdrew the needle from the Taiyin of the foot.
Zhang Daxixi was stunned. She was actually afraid of taking responsibility and that was her habitual question during the delivery process. Usually, when encountering such a situation, she would put her hand back, but forcing it back would always cause some damage. Usually, after asking for permission, the family would accept it.
But what had she just seen? How could someone just prick their hand with two needles and have it retract on its own?
Doctor Mu said he was from the health center. When did such a great doctor appear in their mountain village?
She's still a young and beautiful girl!
Zhang Daxi knew that she shouldn't be distracted, but she began to wonder whether Dr. Mu was married. She had a nephew who worked as an accountant in the people's commune, who was just barely a match for her. If she invited this female Bodhisattva to stay at home, who would be afraid of a headache or fever!
Not to mention that if Dr. Mu teaches her a few tricks, she will definitely become the gold medal midwife in Maidiping, no, the entire commune!
Mu Huaixi knew that the two needles she had just placed were no mere jabs. Sanyinjiao, where the three meridians of the foot, Shaoyin, Jueyin, and Taiyin meet, is a major acupuncture point in the human body and a taboo for pregnant women. Tonifying Sanyinjiao can stabilize the fetus, while draining it will promote labor. However, its location is even more tricky than the Ghost Eye, making it difficult to master the proper dosage. She relied on her exceptional sense of Qi to dare to perform this operation.
Her hand was still shaking unconsciously after the needle was removed, and a piece of flesh on her forearm that was invisible to others was shaking like a spasm. This acupuncture method was still too difficult for her now.
Mu Huaixi also knew that forcing it back in would harm both the mother and the fetus. Fortunately, the risk was successful. She belatedly wiped the sweat off her forehead and said to the stunned Zhang Daxi, "Mother Xi, please continue. If the fetus is positioned correctly, I will use a needle to assist in the delivery at any time. Neither the pregnant woman nor the baby can bear it in such cold weather."
"Hey hey!" Zhang Daxi agreed repeatedly. In order to show off in front of his future niece-in-law, he really took out all his skills. Seeing Yu Xiuhong gradually losing her strength, he encouraged her, "Xiuhong, if you keep trying, the baby will come out. If it's a son, you will enjoy happiness in the future."
Zhang Daxixi didn't have any idea of favoring boys over girls, but she and Yu Xiuhong were both in Maijiaping, and she knew her family situation well. Not having a son was a knot in her heart.
The word "son" was like a spark that ignited Yu Xiuhong's gradually dimming eyes. She gritted her teeth and persevered, determined to hold on even though her stomach was churning.
son!
The son who carries on the family line!
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and Yu Xiuhong felt a chill on her face. It was her eldest daughter who was panicking and wiping her tears. She closed her eyes, raised her hand with difficulty, and wiped away the tears on her eldest daughter's face. "Don't cry, Daya, all women have this hurdle..."
Yu Xiuhong's eyes were blurred. She listened to the young man next to her patiently coaxing his wife, and tears could not stop flowing down. It was obvious that she and her husband were like this at the beginning. When did it start to change?
She was full of complaints, but she still pleaded with Mrs. Xi sincerely, "Sister Zhang, you must, you must keep the child. This is the bloodline of the Xia family!"
"Shut up and try harder," Zhang Daxi wiped the sweat off her forehead in annoyance, thinking that the reason why she and Dr. Mu didn't go to the market and kneeled on the cold ground was just to save the child and the adults' lives.
Mu Huaixi didn't say anything. She was squatting between the two pregnant women. Her ears were filled with the women's screams all the time. She put her hands on each wrist, keeping an eye on the progress of both sides. She really couldn't divide her attention.
The sun moved lower in the sky, and many stalls in the market began to evacuate. Before leaving, I saw the area surrounded by soldiers and heard the continuous screams of women coming from inside, which made me curious.
"What's going on?"
"Two big bellies collided, and blood was all over the floor. Luckily, there were veterans here to learn from Lei Feng, and there were doctors from the health center here, otherwise..."
"Health center? We have a health center in Mai Diping?"
"It's not in Maidiping, it's run by the military district. There's a really amazing female doctor there. I just saw her. She gave her two injections! Two injections! The pregnant woman came back to life!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I saw it. With just one injection, the pregnant woman's bleeding stopped! Do you know what it's called? This is the Six Meridians Divine Needle, a technique known only to the Medical Saint! One injection can determine life or death. Even the King of Hell wouldn't dare snatch her away!"
"So amazing? Then why hasn't the baby been born yet after all this time?"
"Giving birth? Do you think we're just squatting in the toilet? Some people take two or three days to give birth, and they both had miscarriages. It must be difficult for them to give birth!"
A group of people gathered not far away and were talking about something. Suddenly, they heard the clear cry of a baby. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, "It's born!"
"It's born!"
Mu Huaixi held the newborn baby and handed it to the child's father with some embarrassment. Then he whispered to Wang Xiaohua beside him, "Did I slap him too hard?"
"No," Wang Xiaohua lied, looking at the baby's red buttocks. "Didn't the matchmaker say that you have to beat it until it cries?"
It's strange to say, it was obviously Yu Xiuhong who opened her cervix first, but in the end it was Li Erya who came first, and she only had some blood stasis, so Mu Huaixi just used a little needle and she gave birth smoothly.
"Erya, we have a son!" Sang Dahe held the cradle and cried loudly.
Li Erya's face turned pale, but she still turned her head to encourage Yu Xiuhong beside her, "Sister Yu, keep going, our two families are so destined to be together, everything will be fine!"
She originally wanted to get married to Yu Xiuhong's family, but then she thought about having a son and her elder sister also wanted to have a son, so she quickly changed her mind. However, she didn't expect that she would have a special connection with Yu Xiuhong's child.
