"What's going on? Two pregnant women collided? They're so big and still come to the market. Don't you take yourself too seriously?"
"With so much blood, he can't survive, right?"
"The younger one at least has a husband, but why is the other one just a little girl with her? Where's her husband?"
"Hey! I know that Xiuhong from Maidiping gave birth to five girls and only one is left. If this one in her belly is another girl, Xia Dazhuang's mother will send her back to her parents' home!"
More and more people gathered to watch the fun, and the crowd was noisy, but the market was still going on. The sound of gongs and drums coming from somewhere was more chaotic than Mu Huaixi's pulse at his fingertips.
"doctor!"
"Doctor!! Please!"
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, please save my wife!"
Mu Huaixi's head was swollen from all the shouting. She stood up suddenly, took a deep breath, and said to Jiang Wenyuan, who was also anxious, "It's too late. Prepare to give birth on the spot."
"Okay," Jiang Wenyuan nodded, picked up the stethoscope and blood pressure monitor and walked forward. "I'll go check the basic vital signs. I'll need you to work harder later."
After all, Jiang Wenyuan is a male, so he would not take the initiative to deliver a baby for a pregnant woman unless it is absolutely necessary, so as to avoid causing unnecessary family conflicts.
Mu Huaixi nodded and pointed to the table that Deputy Captain Zhu was carrying. "Deputy Captain Zhu, evacuate the crowd and use the table and bed sheets to block the wind for the pregnant woman."
"We are familiar with building trenches," Deputy Lieutenant Zhu immediately gave the order, and the veterans who followed him immediately took action. Some went back to ask people to move things, and some half-gently and half-forcefully persuaded the villagers who were watching the fun to leave.
Luo Rui, who had wandered around somewhere, came back and said, "I've found out that the one who brought her daughter is Yu Xiuhong from Maidiping. She's already sent for her husband. The other young couple is Sang Dahe and Li Erya from Sangjiazhuang. They came to the market to buy New Year's goods."
"I have also asked someone to pick up the medical equipment on the military card. If you need anything else, please tell me and I will arrange it immediately."
Luo Rui was indeed sharp and efficient, which calmed Mu Huaixi's fluttering heart a little. She licked her dry lips and said, "Buy a large basin of hot water. If possible, ask if there is a midwife."
Jiang Wenyuan is more inclined towards surgery. Although Mu Huaixi is a Chinese medicine practitioner who does not have any specializations, he has no experience in delivering babies. Although the midwife has not studied medicine systematically, she has rich experience in delivering babies. If a midwife is in charge, the survival rate of the mother and fetus will definitely be greatly improved.
Luo Rui nodded and left. Mu Huaixi turned around and hurried back to the two pregnant women. Jiang Wenyuan also completed the preliminary examination. Yu Xiuhong's heart rate and blood pressure were not optimistic.
Wang Xiaohua's face was solemn. "Yu Xiuhong woke up after taking Qingxin Powder, but she's not very conscious. Her limbs are limp and she can't move them. Her belt is tied in a knot, so I can't check anything further."
Wang Xiaohua was very puzzled. She was obviously pregnant, but why did she tie her pants so tightly? Wasn't she afraid of being uncomfortable?
"I'm going to get the scissors," Jiang Wenyuan hurried off, and Li Fengjuan took his place. "The young couple is seven months pregnant, about thirty weeks. I can't get anything out of Yu Xiuhong, and the little girl is just crying. Judging from her belly, she must be seven months pregnant too."
Mu Huaixi nodded. She squatted down and felt Li Erya's pulse. The pregnant woman lying on the ground burst into tears, "Doctor, doctor, wuwuwuwuwuwu, am I going to die? My stomach hurts so much! I don't want to give birth anymore!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Sang Dahe was so anxious that he was sweating, but he did not forget to wipe his wife's tears. He moved his lips and wanted to ask Mu Huaixi how she was, but she dissuaded him with a look.
Mu Huaixi touched Li Erya's belly again and barely judged that she was still in the contraction period. The contraction frequency was not high, so he told Li Fengjuan who followed him, "You keep an eye on her. Wait until everyone is around to check down there. If you still see blood, come and call me."
Mu Huaixi broke off another piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the mouth of Li Erya, who kept crying out in pain. "Don't cry, your face will get chapped soon."
Mu Huaixi found that the young couple was very loving. Although Li Erya was a wife, she still had the naivety of a young girl. If she was asked to save energy for the child, it would probably not be as effective as getting a chapped face.
Sure enough, not long after she finished speaking, Li Erya stopped crying and asked her, "Doctor, this malt sugar of yours is delicious. Where did you get it from? I'll ask Dahe to buy some later."
Mu Huaixi simply broke off a large piece and gave it to Sang Dahe, asking him to watch and eat slowly. She then went to Yu Xiuhong's side. Her little girl was kneeling beside her with tears in her eyes. When she saw her coming, she kowtowed and said, "Please, doctor, please save my mother!"
"Go find that sister and ask her to go to the stall to ask for a bowl of hot soup." Mu Huaixi was afraid that the bloody smell would scare the child, so he sent her to ask for hot soup.
The little girl wiped her tears and left. Coincidentally, a pair of scissors were delivered. Mu Huaixi picked up the scissors and was about to cut Yu Xiuhong's belt, but Yu Xiuhong, who was half-dead just now, woke up immediately, grabbed her pants tightly with both hands, and glared at her fiercely.
Mu Huaixi was startled by the hatred in her eyes, but someone beside him squatted down hurriedly, took the scissors from her hand, and patted Yu Xiuhong's hand with pity, "Oh, Xiuhong, don't be afraid. You tied your belt before, and the child wouldn't run away. Now that the child is about to come out, you should let go."
Yu Xiuhong slowly loosened her hand upon hearing this, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the visitor expectantly, "Happy..."
"Yes, it's me. Mrs. Xi is here. Don't worry, just be obedient," the old lady said perfunctorily, while neatly cutting her trouser belt. After pulling twice without any luck, she turned her head and whispered to Mu Huaixi, "Doctor, these cotton pants are absorbing too much blood. Did I cut them?"
Mu Huaixi already knew from Luo Rui that this person was Zhang Daxixi, the best midwife near Maidiping, who happened to be at the market, so she hurriedly carried the person over.
"Oh, so much blood!" Zhang Daxi frowned and pinched her fingers, then rubbed Yu Xiuhong's belly. The more she touched, the more serious her expression became. She waved at Mu Huaixi and said in a low voice, "Yu Xiuhong's belly is more than eight months old. As the saying goes, seven months of life and eight months of death are not. Her fetus is in a transverse position and the bleeding is not stopping. It's better to call her husband over as soon as possible."
Mu Huaixi frowned and pressed down slightly on Yu Xiuhong's belly to feel around. Although she didn't know much about fetal position, she could feel the painful struggle of the baby in her belly from the touch, but the struggle was getting weaker and weaker.
"If I can stop the bleeding, can you correct the fetal position?" Mu Huaixi took out the gold needles she carried with her and discussed with Zhang Daxixi. Mrs. Xi frowned and didn't dare to say too much. She just said that she would try it herself.
Zhang Daxi moved Mu Huaixi out of the way, and Erya, who was eating candy on the other side, saw it. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and suddenly burst into tears, "Auntie, Auntie, save me, Auntie, Auntie, I'm dying of pain!!"
