Chapter 100 Chapter 100 This guy can actually deliver babies...
Seeing the gate open, the man immediately knelt down and wanted to grab Qin Run's trouser legs, but then he remembered the difference between men and men, so he grabbed Xu Yunfan instead, crying, "Xu boy, please save my wife, I beg you, she is the only wife I have."
Xu Yunfan took a step back, seeing the man desperately seeking medical help, and suggested, "What are you doing? I'm not a doctor, how can I save your wife? If it's really an emergency, why don't you run to town and get a doctor?"
Hearing Xu Yunfan's words, the man, Sun Mu, began to cry and hurriedly explained, "Xu boy, although my wife belongs to the Li family, she has never scolded Run'er. I ask you to save her life."
Qin Run recognized him. This was Sun Mu, a member of the Sun family and a childhood friend of Sun Wu. He had heard that this man had been traveling on a merchant ship in his early years and had only returned two years ago.
After making money through business, Sun Mu returned to the village and married Li Hui from the Li family. When they got married, Qin Run followed Aunt Qin and others to help. When he came back, Sun Mu specially brought him half a bowl of meat dishes.
It has been more than nine months since Sun Mu got married.
On the night Uncle Zhou was bitten by a snake, Sun Mu should have gone to see him. However, the ancients were superstitious and believed that a "dying person" like Uncle Zhou would probably die in two or three days. If Sun Mu went there, he would inevitably bring the aura of death home. And they had an unborn child in the family. One represented death, and the other represented life, which could easily lead to a conflict.
Besides, children are weak and what would happen if they were accidentally hit?
For this reason, no one in Sun Mu's family was able to visit Uncle Zhou, and Xu Yunfan didn't see Sun Mu either, but Sun Mu and the others had heard of Xu Yunfan's abilities.
Those who were bitten by the mountain snake in the past would fall into a coma and be unable to wake up on the second day, not to mention two or three days, and some even died.
Now two days have passed, and Uncle Zhou is still alive and well. What does this prove? It proves that Xu Yunfan is indeed capable and can detoxify such a strong snake venom!
Sun Mu had no choice. Even though Xu Yunfan had let go of those words and his wife was also a member of the Li family, he had no choice.
Qin Run helped Sun Mu up. "Brother Sun Mu, what's wrong with you? Please explain clearly first."
Sun Mu was a man, and it was said that men don't shed tears easily. It was just that he hadn't reached the point of being heartbroken. When he talked about it, tears started to fall from his eyes, and he sobbed and couldn't make a sound. It took him a while to choke up before Qin Run and the others understood.
It turned out that Li Hui was already nine months pregnant. Li Hui's aunt was a midwife and she happened to be in Xiaoli Village helping with a baby today. Thinking that her niece was more than nine months pregnant and was about to give birth, she came to see her.
As a result, Li Hui's aunt found the problem at first sight.
Li Hui's aunt has more than ten years of experience as a midwife. She can tell whether Li Hui's baby is in the correct position just by feeling it a few times.
Li Hui has been pregnant for more than nine months, but the fetus is not in a normal position. This is her first child, and she is afraid that she will not be able to give birth to the child.
If the baby cannot be born, the younger one cannot be saved, but it is considered lucky if the older one is still alive. The most frightening thing is the situation where there are two lives and one corpse.
My aunt's statement was a relatively euphemistic one. According to what they had heard in their line of work, women and boys with malpositioned fetuses, unless it was their second or third child, might still be able to give birth to the child, but in some cases, there might be two deaths, not to mention those who were having their first child.
Often when these women and boys with abnormal fetal positions were sent to the town, the doctors were helpless and told them to go back and leave it to fate.
Yesterday, Sun Mu took Li Hui to Jishidiang for a checkup. Sun Mu hoped that maybe his aunt had touched the baby wrongly, but after the doctor touched the baby a few times, he told Sun Mu that the baby was indeed in an abnormal position.
This time, Sun Mu was completely desperate.
Two days after returning home, Li Hui was about to give birth. She was lying in bed, groaning in pain.
Sun Mu's mother and father were both helpless. Neither the doctors nor the midwives were able to do anything. What else could the two old people do except wipe away their tears?
Li Hui's mother and father from the same village came running over. With no other choice, they suggested that Sun Mu go find Xu Yunfan.
The doctor has no way to deal with the problem of abnormal fetal position, but maybe Xu Yunfan can solve it?
After all, that doctor couldn’t cure the snake venom that had choked the mountain, but Xu Yunfan could!
Didn’t you see Uncle Zhou standing outside the chicken coop and looking at the chickens again and again when he was feeding them yesterday? He just looked at the biggest one and said he wanted to catch two big hens as a thank you gift to Xu Yunfan.
The best thank-you gift the village chief's family could offer was the big hens that laid eggs every day.
Sun Mu's parents thought so too, and they didn't believe Yun Fan really had a solution.
Although Li Hui is different from Uncle Zhou, she is giving birth to a son, but at this moment, who cares about the taboos between men and women regarding physical contact.
Is reputation more important or human life?
Several elders hurriedly asked Sun Mu to find Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan’s previous concerns were not groundless. Look, something happened today.
Xu Yunfan was a little confused. Although he was well-read and had read some books on Chinese medicine, and had also learned some acupuncture and moxibustion, and in order to be a good grandson, he had even learned massage. But as he said, he had very little practical experience.
Before, at his cousin's house in the countryside, he was forced to climb a tree and performed the "external rotation technique", but at that time he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating and he had forgotten how he did it. Today, he was asked to go and show Li Hui, but how else could he see except with his eyes?
Xu Yunfan was in a dilemma and wanted to refuse, but seeing Sun Mu crying, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. Besides, those were two lives. The older generation said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Xu Yunfan didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to have a clear conscience. In the end, he could only helplessly say: "Run brother, come with me to take a look."
A soft-hearted person cannot accomplish great things. Li Hui is a member of the Li family, but the child is innocent. If he wants to take revenge on the Li family, he should not joke about things like human lives. Besides, it doesn't mean that all the people in the Li family are bad guys. After all, you can't kill a group of people with one stick.
When Sun Mu took Li Hui to the town to see a doctor, everyone in the village knew about Li Hui's abnormal fetal position.
Li Hui is going to give birth tonight, and some uncles and aunts can't sleep, so they all come to see her. If... they can at least help.
Seeing Sun Mu wiping his tears and inviting Xu Yunfan over, the people crowded in the yard looked over one by one, feeling puzzled.
No, Xu Yunfan can detoxify snake venom, but can he also deliver babies?
But he is a man, how could that be possible?
But if you say he can't do it, then why is he here?
That must be why I came to check the situation.
It's impossible that he's just here to join in the fun, right?
Noticing that the aunts, mothers, and uncles were staring at him, Xu Yunfan quickly walked into the yard, pursed his lips, and asked Sun Mu, "Should I go in directly?"
He is a man after all. According to the rules, he should not watch or enter the room when someone else's wife is giving birth, but he didn't go in. Sun Mu invited him here. Could it be that he wanted to hear Li Hui crying?
Li Hui in the room was crying and shouting, and the midwife kept asking, "Oh, what should I do? Sister, my dear, has that Xu kid come yet?"
"Come in, Xu boy, please." Sun Mu couldn't care less at the moment.
Xu Yunfan pushed the door open and went in, then closed it again.
On the way here, Qin Run said, just do your best.
As soon as Xu Yunfan entered, several women in the room looked over immediately. When they saw that it was Xu Yunfan, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if Xu Yunfan would be able to handle the things they couldn't handle. He inexplicably gave people a sense of security that with him around, nothing was a problem.
Because the sun was setting, the yard outside was not yet dark, but there was no light in the room except for a dim oil lamp.
Fortunately, this was childbirth. If it was something else, what could a spark as small as a soybean do?
Xu Yunfan frowned and walked to the bedside in the dim light, not even bothering to greet the others. "When did she start the attack?"
"It's almost half an hour."
"Have you prepared anything to eat?" Xu Yunfan asked while touching Li Hui's belly. He found that the baby was indeed in an abnormal position, and judging from Li Hui's belly, the baby was not too big.
"Xu boy, please save my child." Li Hui had heard about Xu Yunfan's experience in detoxifying snake venom. Now she was extremely scared and her body was in great pain. The double torture had made her lose hope. She did not ask for anything else but only asked Xu Yunfan to find a way to ensure the safe birth of the child she had been carrying for nearly ten months.
After touching her belly, Xu Yunfan touched Li Hui's pelvis, then heaved a sigh of relief and soothed her, "Okay, Sister Li, listen to me, I won't hurt you, don't be afraid, everything will be fine, you and the baby will be fine, it's okay, your problem is easy to solve, it's all small, don't worry, your malposition is not as scary as they say, just look at me, don't be afraid, put your legs down first, and do as I say."
Xu Yunfan's two consecutive "Don't be afraid" made Li Hui really relax a little. Xu Yunfan's words were like a reassurance that made Li Hui feel more at ease.
Xu Yunfan, who can detoxify snake venom, said she was fine, so she was definitely fine.
Now, she didn't believe him. Could she still believe that she was so anxious just now that she had given up her seat to Xu Yunfan's mother-in-law, mother, and aunt?
She could only trust Xu Yunfan, sobbing with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I believe you, I believe you."
It was obvious that Li Hui was still nervous and scared. Xu Yunfan smiled softly at Li Hui, and began to move his hands, comforting her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, giving birth will hurt. You will be a very brave and strong mother. Don't push hard yet. Your baby is in an abnormal position. I will help you turn the baby. After that, just listen to my instructions and push when I tell you to."
Sun Muniang and the other two women were frightened. What the hell was Xu Yunfan talking about?
Turn the child over?
Does he know what he is talking about?
Xu Yunfan must be joking!
Does he understand how soft a child is? How big can a woman's belly be? Can the child in the belly turn? The belly is so small, how can it turn? Twist its head or twist its body?
After all this journey, is the child still an adult?
With such doubts, Aunt Sun and the other two had no chance to ask Xu Yunfan what he meant. After watching Xu Yunfan's actions, they were already stunned, with their mouths wide open and unable to speak.
What did they see?
Xu Yunfan actually twisted Li Hui's belly around. No, not Li Hui's belly, but the baby in her belly.
This...Did Xu Yunfan really transfer the child here?
How is this possible?
How did he do it?
Doctors and midwives have encountered the problem of malposition of the fetus countless times. They have thought of ways to solve it, but... no matter what method they use, it is always unsatisfactory in the end.
After Xu Yunfan twisted the child, he touched it and confirmed that the child was really headfirst. Then he asked Li Hui to use force. "Okay, I've turned the child over. Come on, let's try harder. Sister Li, just listen to me and do what I say. Take a deep breath, inhale... exhale..."
Outside the yard, Qin Run heard the painful sobbing coming from the room, and his heart couldn't help but feel nervous.
After Xu Yunfan went in, the crying stopped.
The people waiting outside didn't know what was going on. Why did the person who was crying suddenly stop crying?
"Run'er, can your husband deliver babies?" Aunt Yi was waiting anyway, so she asked Qin Run.
These days, midwives have never seen a man.
Could it be that the situation overseas is different from theirs?
Qin Run knew that Xu Yunfan was not a real doctor. He was just a half-doctor who had read medical books, knew only theory, and lacked practice.
If he is a doctor, then when the villagers have a headache or fever, they will come to Xu Yunfan. If Xu Yunfan can't cure it, will they spread false rumors such as Xu Yunfan has a grudge against them and is picky about who he treats?
"He can't. He's not a doctor," Qin Run explained for Xu Yunfan. "My husband's family is in business. They own a clinic. Abnormal fetal position isn't just a problem here, it happens there too. Unfortunately, he's seen how the doctor we hired handled it. Yunfan is eager to learn, so he learned a few tricks from the doctor. With Sister Li like this, he has no choice but to give it a try. If he doesn't, is he going to have to watch helplessly..."
"As for Uncle Zhou's snake venom, everyone who was there heard it. The antidote was given to him by his family doctor. So, Yun Fan isn't a doctor. He just happens to know a few things, but he doesn't know everything."
Some aunts asked again, "What? Xu's family is in business? He really is a young master. If that's the case, why did he come to our place?"
Qin Run had no choice but to continue making up stories. "He came here on a merchant ship. Young people love to travel around. But Yunfan was unlucky. On the way, someone robbed him of the money he had with him. Because they didn't recognize the medicine and thought it was worthless, they didn't steal all of it. Later, Yunfan was chased by someone and had to hide in the mountains. That's how I found it."
"That's also quite remarkable." An aunt wiped the sweat from her forehead. "For this woman and this boy to give birth is like walking through the gates of hell, with one foot halfway into the underworld. If the fetus is in an abnormal position, then it's really... If Yun Fan has this ability, then Li Hui and her daughter can be considered to have met a noble person."
Qin Run didn't say anything. His aunt's words were not exaggerating Xu Yunfan's strength and kindness to Li Hui.
And this is the naked reality.
After getting the results they wanted to know, no one was in the mood to talk about anything else.
After all, people are giving birth inside and risking their lives. It is inappropriate for them to chat about irrelevant things outside.
Just as they were waiting anxiously, Sun Muniang ran out in a hurry. Without waiting for them to ask how Li Hui was doing, Sun Muniang came in with a basin of hot water and slammed the door shut again. Then, Li Hui's heart-wrenching howls of pain came from inside.
After waiting for another half an hour, they heard a baby crying and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, everyone knew one thing in their hearts, that is, Xu Yunfan was amazing.
