The man called Agui was currently introducing today's seafood to Murong Shu and the others. When he heard that his wife was having a difficult labor, he was so shocked that he dropped the seafood in his hand to the ground.
Then she asked the visitor anxiously, "Guizhi was fine when I left home this morning, how could she suddenly have a difficult delivery?"
"I don't know the specific situation. Third Aunt asked me to call you. Go back and take a look quickly." The man who ran to call Agui was sweating profusely, fearing that a second late would delay Agui's return to see his wife.
"Hey, I'll go back now." Agui ran away in a hurry without even saying hello to Murong Shu, and didn't even wait for the man who came to deliver the message.
"Big brother, can you take us to Agui's house? I know some medical skills." When Murong Shu heard that it was a difficult labor, he wanted to see if he could help.
The man was originally going to chase after Agui, but was suddenly stopped by Murong Shu, looking surprised. He never expected that the nobleman from the capital city also knew medical skills and was willing to help them. When he realized what was happening, his face was filled with ecstasy. "Please come this way, nobleman. I know a shortcut."
So the man led the way in front, and Murong Shu followed quickly behind. Maybe because Murong Shu was a delicate lady, the man did not walk fast. Murong Shu thought of the man's anxiety when he came to deliver the message just now, and asked the man, "Big brother, can you hurry up? Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for a woman."
"The noble has caught up with us." The man walked a lot faster this time. He didn't expect the noble to be so kind. He admired Murong Shu and his group even more in his heart.
In modern times, Murong Shu is a general practitioner and sometimes has to work in the emergency room. So when he hears about a woman having difficulty in giving birth, he becomes even more anxious and walks faster.
"Shu'er, slow down, don't be in a hurry!" Mousse, who practiced martial arts himself, could barely keep up, but Liu Zhi, Wen Jing and Rong Yunnan were already beginning to fall behind.
"Second Uncle, human life is at stake. Walking faster may help save lives. Let's hurry up. I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Murong Shu felt that time is life, and a minute of extra time a doctor can gain may sometimes mean life for the patient.
When they arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered outside the yard. Only then did Murong Shu realize that the man named Agui was the eldest son of the head of the village.
"Why are you here, my dear? I'm really sorry that my eldest daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery and may not be able to entertain you."
The head of the village was filled with anxiety and guilt. His eldest daughter-in-law was giving birth to her first child, but she had a difficult labor. The whole family was very anxious and scared, and the doctor they had invited from the city had not arrived yet.
"Uncle San, you are a medical practitioner. Please let you go in and check on Sister Guizhi. Maybe there is still hope!" The man who led Murong Shu was the son of the second brother of the head of the village. When he saw that the head of the village had misunderstood him, he hurried to explain.
"Please help my eldest daughter-in-law. If you can't, please protect her."
When the head of the village heard that Murong Shu knew medical skills, he immediately knelt down in front of Murong Shu. His eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law had a very good relationship. If the eldest daughter-in-law died while giving birth, he felt that his eldest son would not be able to survive and the family would break up.
Murong Shu quickly supported the village head who was about to kneel down and said, "I will do my best. Please let me in first. If you delay for a while, your eldest daughter-in-law will be in danger."
"Everyone, make way and let the noble man in. Agui's mother, please bring the noble man in quickly!" The head of the village shouted and the people gathered at the door immediately dispersed. At the same time, a lady came out of the delivery room in a panic. Judging from her dress, she should be Agui's mother, whom the head of the village had just called, and also his wife.
"Hey, here you are, please come in, my lord." Although the woman was a little nervous, she didn't care about anything else at the moment and quickly invited Murong Shu in.
Murong Shu entered the delivery room and saw a young woman lying on the bed. Her face was pale, as if she had used up all her strength in giving birth. There was another woman next to her who was talking to her, and her voice was already filled with tears.
Murong Shu didn't waste any time. He sat down beside the bed and felt the young woman's pulse. Then he had a rough idea in his mind. He asked the women some questions about the parturient, and then began to give instructions in an orderly manner.
"Auntie, do you have eggs and brown sugar at home? Go and cook a bowl of soup for your wife first. And use the ginseng leaves to make soup and keep them for later." Murong Shu took some red ginseng slices from the pharmacy of the Space Hospital and handed them to the headman's wife. These ginseng slices were artificially grown, and the effect was not so good. The main reason was that they were afraid that the pregnant woman would get tired and faint.
"Oh, thank you so much, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I'll go right away, right away." It's no wonder that the village head's wife was so excited. She had never seen so much ginseng in her life. The noble man gave her so much at once that her hands were shaking. But this was to save her wife and children. If it wasn't the wrong time, she would have kowtowed to the noble man a few more times.
"Go and boil some more hot water. We'll need it later." When another woman heard that hot water was needed, she quickly ran to the kitchen.
Seeing that they had all gone out, Murong Shu took out gold needles from the space hospital and gave the woman in labor a few injections. He then helped the woman massage the Hegu acupoint to speed up the opening of her cervix.
After a while, the woman was given an injection to induce labor. The reason why the woman was unable to give birth was because of poor uterine contractions, so Murong Shu gave his wife oxytocin to induce uterine contractions.
Not long after the oxytocin was injected, the woman felt waves of pain in her stomach. At this time, the headman's wife brought in some brown sugar and egg water and ginseng soup.
"Guizhi, how do you feel?" The headman's wife brought brown sugar and egg water to the bedside, helped her daughter-in-law sit up, her eyes full of concern.
"Mom, Zhi'er feels more pain than before, but it seems like the baby is about to come out."
"Thank you very much, sir. God bless you. Drink this quickly and you will give birth to the baby safely. Thank you for your hard work, Zhi'er. Mother will be here with you." The headman's wife had given birth to several children. She understood what the daughter-in-law said and was grateful to Murong Shu.
"Auntie, please let your wife drink it quickly. She may give birth soon." Murong Shu estimated the time and felt it was about time.
"Hey, Zhi'er, let mother feed you." After Guizhi finished a bowl of brown sugar and egg water and half a bowl of red ginseng soup, the attack began after a quarter of an hour.
Under the combined effects of Murong Shu's golden needles and oxytocin injections, Guizhi's contractions became more and more intense, and she finally gave birth to a baby boy. The baby's loud cry made everyone waiting outside feel relieved and also injected new vitality into this small fishing courtyard.
When Murong Shu walked out of the delivery room, the head of the village and Agui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Murong Shu several times. They were full of gratitude to Murong Shu. Without this noble man, they would not have such a complete family.
"Hurry up and get up. It's just a piece of cake. Don't take it to heart." Murong Shu hurriedly helped the father and son up. In her opinion, she was just doing an ordinary thing.
"Sir, you saved this child. Please give him a name!"
