The group quickened their pace and rushed towards the source of the sound.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone saw a man crying at the top of his lungs while holding a pregnant woman.
The man was in his twenties, wearing a green scholar's robe, with fair skin and a refined and elegant appearance. One could tell at a glance that he was a scholar.
The woman in his arms had fallen into a coma, her gentle face pale.
Sensing someone coming, the man sobbed and hugged the woman, begging everyone, "Please, everyone, save my wife! My wife is having a miscarriage and is about to give birth!"
"The amniotic fluid has broken. Let's quickly build a shelter so that the pregnant woman can't be exposed to the wind!" The village chief's wife called her son to help.
The three brothers quickly took out the sticks for building a shed from the cart, hammered them into the soil, and surrounded the shed with oilcloth on all sides.
The village chief's wife brought her own bedding to the shed and spread it out.
After the shed was built, he helped the man lift his wife onto the bedding and laid her down.
After settling the woman down, Doctor Xu walked quickly into the shed through the crowd with his medicine box.
After taking the woman's pulse, Doctor Xu took out a silver needle from the medicine box and first pierced the woman's Ren Zhong acupoint. Seeing that the woman had not yet woken up, he pierced the Shi Xuan acupoint. After the blood from the fingertips was squeezed out, the woman finally slowly woke up.
The man saw his wife wake up and called her anxiously: "Wife! You scared me to death! We have met a kind person, don't be afraid, everything will be fine!"
A gentle smile appeared on the woman's frail, pale face. It was very light, but it also cost her a lot of strength. She raised a hand with great effort to touch the man's face, comforting her husband, her voice weak and weak, "Husband, don't... don't be sad. If I can't... make it, you have to take care of... take good care of our child."
The man held his wife's hand, shook his head desperately, and said in a choked voice: "Wife! Don't say that, you will be fine. We are lucky to have met a doctor. He will save you."
Then he looked at Doctor Xu expectantly and asked cautiously, "Doctor, my wife will be fine, right? You can save her, right?"
"I'll do my best."
Doctor Xu wanted to say that he could save the woman, but the woman obviously did not have the strength to give birth to a child, so he could only try his best. Then Doctor Xu took out a piece of ginseng and asked the woman to hold it in her mouth, and then he pricked the Hegu, Sanyinjiao, Zhigou, Taichong and other acupuncture points.
"A woman who has given birth before, please help with the delivery!"
"Let me do it!"
There was no midwife in the crowd. The village chief's wife was considered to be more experienced as she had given birth to three children. She was about to enter the shed with a clean cloth, scissors and candles. In fact, they also needed to prepare hot water, but the water now was only enough for everyone to eat and drink. It would take some time to find a water source and she didn't know where to find it.
At this moment, Shen Yanqing came over with a basin of hot water and handed it to the village head's wife. It turned out that when the crowd was busy, Qi Yanxuan took Shen Yanqing to a deserted place to boil water. Although he had never seen a childbirth, he knew that hot water was needed for childbirth in ancient times.
The village chief's wife looked at the basin of hot water without asking any questions. The situation was urgent, so she went in with the hot water.
"Madam, you have to rely on yourself now. Stay awake!" Doctor Xu reminded the pregnant woman.
The village chief's wife covered the woman with a thin blanket, took off her pants, and bent her legs.
I sterilized the scissors on a candle and started working.
"Young lady, take a deep breath and push harder!" the village chief's wife said to the woman.
"ah!"
The woman began to push, but her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't bear it. Doctor Xu was watching her all the time. Seeing that she was sweating from the pain, he gave her an acupuncture to relieve the pain.
"Don't be anxious! Take a deep breath first, okay! Use force!" The village chief's wife was directing from the side.
The woman bit her lips hard and started to push hard as instructed. Her lips were bitten and bleeding, but the baby just refused to come out.
"Blood~Doctor Xu, the pregnant woman is bleeding, what should we do?" The village chief's wife looked at Doctor Xu anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu inserted a silver needle into the Yinbai acupoint. The bleeding gradually stopped, but the pregnant woman's consciousness gradually began to fade.
The village chief's wife wiped the pregnant woman over and over again, and the blood dyed the clear water in the basin red.
"It's stopped! It's stopped! The bleeding has stopped!"
The man looked at the woman who was about to lose consciousness, stroked her cheek again and again, and shouted hard, "Wife! Don't sleep, hold on a little longer, don't leave me!"
But the woman's consciousness was already scattered, and she could not hear the man's voice at all. She could only vaguely see the man's panicked and anxious face and his lips opening and closing. She tried her best to stay awake and hear clearly what her husband said, but she still fainted.
The man's desperate and sad voice made the people outside the shed cry.
Along the way, they have all lost their loved ones to varying degrees. This scene reminds them of their own helplessness back then, the same screams at the top of their lungs, the same helplessness.
Doctor Xu could only sigh helplessly upon seeing this, "Alas, there's nothing I can do."
When Qi Yanxuan heard that Doctor Xu couldn't save the woman, he had no choice but to walk into the shed. There were many people who abandoned their wives and daughters along the way, but this man didn't even abandon his wife when he was escaping, which showed that the two of them loved each other.
Hearing the man's sad and desperate cry, he didn't want to see the two people who loved each other deeply separated from each other.
Qi Yanxuan entered the shed without looking away, only looking at the man and said, "I can save your wife!"
This sentence pulled the man back from the abyss of despair. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Qi Yanxuan, saying in a firm tone: "If you can save my wife, I am willing to be your slave and will never betray you!"
"No need! All of you get out! You are absolutely not allowed to come in unless I ask you to!"
"Okay, okay! Let's go out and leave everything to you, sir!" The man was afraid of wasting time, so he stood up hurriedly and bowed solemnly to Qi Yanxuan.
The man was now trying everything he could to save the situation. He didn't want to miss any opportunity. He looked at his wife reluctantly before walking out.
Doctor Xu and the other doctor had been with Qi Yanxuan for such a long time and had never seen him master any medical skills. They wanted to say something, but when they thought of Qi Yanxuan's abilities, they thought that maybe they just didn't know, so they said nothing more and went out together.
"Aqing! Come in and help me!"
When Shen Yanqing heard Qi Yanxuan calling him, he hurried into the shed.
Qi Yanxuan came to the pregnant woman and used his wood-type ability to repair her body first, otherwise he was afraid that the woman would not be able to hold on.
Then he lifted the quilt, laid the pregnant woman on her side with her back arched, and took out the cesarean section anesthetic needle from the spacer. The long needle was inserted into the pregnant woman's lumbar spine, and the anesthetic was pushed in. After doing all this, he laid the pregnant woman flat.
