Li Lanzhen hurried inside, and as she passed the metasequoia tree, she patted it on the shoulder and said...
"Don't worry, with your aunt here, your wife will be fine."
She carried the basket into the house on the west side.
Thinking that if I need anything, I can just take it out of my space using the basket.
As they walked, they began to fill their baskets with things.
First, she prepared wild ginseng. If she could get in touch with Silver Fox, she could ask him to prepare some medicine for women during childbirth.
She thought she should go in and check on Bao Ya's mother first before making any decisions.
Upon entering the west room, I saw that Bao Ya Niang's face was covered in sweat and she was pale.
He gripped a piece of cloth hanging from the roof beam tightly with both hands.
It looks like she's gripping this piece of cloth tightly.
There was a pool of blood under her body, so it seemed her water had broken.
Li Lanzhen quickly took out the wild ginseng, plucked off one of its whiskers, and stuffed it into Bao Ya Niang's mouth.
"Bao Ya's mother, chew slowly and hold it in your mouth without swallowing."
Then he placed the wild ginseng next to her pillow.
Water Buffalo's mother and his eldest daughter-in-law looked at Li Lanzhen with gratitude.
Seeing what they were about to say, Li Lanzhen waved her hand.
"Big sister, how is Bao Ya's mother? How many months pregnant is she? Is she due to give birth yet?"
The water buffalo mother said, "She's only nine months along, which means she'll give birth in about ten days."
I never expected that this damned thing would push her down despite her being heavily pregnant.
"Just wait until my daughter-in-law gives birth, then I'll storm into their house and beat them to a pulp!"
Li Lanzhen heard that her eldest son's wife was also due to give birth.
So I wasn't too worried, but I wondered if she had hit the child when she fell to the ground.
Li Lanzhen slowly reached out and touched her protruding belly.
"Does it hurt? Where does it hurt? Tell us, did the baby in your belly bump into the ground?"
Bao Ya Niang chewed the ginseng root and put it in her mouth. Although she was weak, she was in much better spirits than before.
She endured the pain in her stomach and said, "When I fell, I was protecting my stomach and lying on the ground with my back down."
It was their little grandson who came up and kicked me in the waist.
The water buffalo mother said, "Good! Good, eldest daughter-in-law, you've done your part. Give birth to this child for your mother, and you'll be a great hero to our family."
Li Lanzhen also shouted, "Don't shout loudly. Even if it hurts, bear it and listen to your mother."
The water buffalo woman said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, the child's head is still not visible at this age."
Listen to me, when I tell you to push, then push. My mother and I will work together to bring my grandson into the world safely. You must also live a good life.
Our whole family is alive and well, alive to show these bastards!
As she spoke, Buffalo's mother gently massaged Bao Ya's pregnant belly with both hands, observing the condition of the baby inside.
A short while passed, and Bao Ya Niang's belly remained unchanged; there was still no sign of the baby being born.
At this moment, Bao Ya Niang was covered in sweat and had no strength left.
Li Lanzhen quickly plucked another wild ginseng root and put it in her mouth.
She realized that this wasn't a solution.
If a woman experiences severe postpartum hemorrhage and the bleeding doesn't stop, that would be a serious problem.
I don't understand medicine, let alone childbirth.
She thought she still needed to go find Silver Fox.
But what should we do if there are too many people and too many eyes around here?
Suddenly, she thought of a good idea.
"Big sister, I'm going to use the restroom, I'll be right back."
Without carrying her own basket, Li Lanzhen hurriedly went out.
There is a simple toilet at the back of the yard.
The frame was made of a few pieces of wood, and the four walls were made of bundles of thatch.
The toilet door was also made of a bundle of straw. Whoever needed to use the toilet would move the bundle of straw aside, and the next person would see the door open and not come in.
Li Lanzhen entered the toilet and quickly slipped into the spatial dimension.
As soon as he entered the space, he shouted, "Silver Fox, catch three old hens, clean them up, and put them away for me."
Get me some hemostatic drugs used for childbirth.
"Look, what other medications does a woman need for childbirth? Bring them all over me."
After shouting, Li Lanzhen rushed into the space warehouse.
I took a few pieces of soft, fine cotton cloth and a small cotton quilt.
They also packed two jin of millet, one jin of brown sugar, and four goose eggs.
As she came out of the storeroom, she saw that Silver Fox was carrying a small bundle.
"Auntie, here you go. These are pills that women need during childbirth."
He then took out three packets of pills and explained their properties and usage to her.
Li Lanzhen said, "Thank you. Please prepare three old hens for me quickly, slaughter and clean them, and put them here."
After saying that, he quickly left.
She stuffed the pills into her bosom and hurriedly returned to the house where Bao Ya's mother had given birth.
Upon entering, they found that Bao Ya had already fainted.
The water buffalo's mother shouted loudly, but couldn't wake her up, and anxiously paced around on the ground.
Upon seeing Li Lanzhen, he immediately grabbed her hand, tears streaming down his face.
"Sister, what should we do? My eldest daughter-in-law is also a poor girl."
What should we do?
Li Lanzhen comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I suddenly remembered that I have medicine in this basket."
There's someone in our village who knows traditional Chinese medicine; she also knows how to deliver babies, and she prepared the medicine pills.
When the water buffalo's mother heard that there were pills, she was overjoyed.
Li Lanzhen pretended to take the pills out of her bosom.
She picked up the bowl from the table and took out a bowl of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.
He lifted Bao Ya Niang's head, fed her half a bowl of spiritual spring water, and then fed her the pills that Silver Fox had mentioned.
The water buffalo mother kept slapping Bao Ya's face.
Soon after, Bao Ya's mother slowly woke up.
...
A child's cry broke the cloud of sorrow hanging over the family.
Water Buffalo's mother skillfully wrapped the child up, placed the child, wrapped in a tattered garment, at the head of the bed, and busied herself cleaning up Bao Ya's mother.
Li Lanzhen noticed that the baby's face was a little bluish, perhaps because it had been in her womb for too long.
The crying was very weak.
Li Lanzhen quickly brought over the half-bowl of spiritual spring water that Bao Ya Niang had left to drink.
He then plucked a wild ginseng root and stirred it inside.
I picked up the child and slowly fed him a few sips of water.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself, "Drinking this water shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Looking at the tattered clothes wrapped around the child, Li Lanzhen took out a small cotton quilt and a few pieces of cloth from her basket.
They wrapped the child in a piece of fine gray cotton cloth and then wrapped him in a quilt.
At this point, perhaps because the baby's body had warmed up, or perhaps because it had drunk the water earlier, it stopped crying and fell asleep with its eyes closed.
"Oh my god! Eldest daughter-in-law, eldest daughter-in-law!"
"Girl, come quick! Look, the eldest son's wife is bleeding heavily!"
Li Lanzhen put the child down and looked at Bao Ya's mother. Her face was getting paler and paler, and blood was flowing continuously from her body.
She quickly put the pills that Silver Fox had given her, which were specifically for treating postpartum hemorrhage in women, into her mouth and fed them to her.
The water buffalo's mother quickly fed her another half bowl of water.
After a short while, she stopped bleeding.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting their minds at ease.
Water Buffalo Girl quickly and efficiently cleaned up Bao Ya Niang.
I picked her up, placed her on the clean mattress next to me, and covered her with a blanket.
Dad rolled up the soiled mattress and carried it outside.
Amidst the chaos of war, Li Lanzhen was also in a state of panic!
She had never seen a woman give birth!
She saw it for the first time today, and it really scared her!
She picked up the child and sat on the bed, catching her breath.
He was startled by a roar and jumped up!
