Zhao Hongcun's home is not far from the entrance of the village, and it is also an earthen house with black tiles and gray walls, with three large houses and one and a half huts.

Zhao Hongcun was stopped at the door by several women, not letting him in, and talking to him in a gossipy manner: "The amniotic water is broken, and the child refuses to come out, so it is better to be sent to the hospital of the commune." ”

"There are still dozens of miles to the commune, and there are still a lot of dirt roads, how can Xiao Rong stand it?"

"Second uncle, you quickly think of a way to let the doctor from the commune come and ......"

"Damn Wang Dong, he just ran away at this juncture."

Zhao Hongcun has no daughter-in-law, only one daughter, married to an educated youth who cut in line, and the man has just fled Hong Kong.

The man ran away, and the woman was waiting for labor at home, but she didn't expect to react in advance, but she couldn't give birth, and the situation was very critical.

"You help me watch Xiao Rong, I'll call the commune and find a way to find a doctor to come over." Zhao Hongcun was anxious, just this moment, he was already sweating profusely.

When Song Qiong arrived, Zhao Hongcun had already gone to the nearby village to make a call, and he stood at the door, and from time to time he could hear the painful screams of mothers coming from the room inside.

Song Qiong turned his head to look at the inner room with a straw curtain, and asked a middle-aged woman in the door: "There are no doctors and midwives in the village?" ”

The woman glanced at Song Qiong with some vigilance: "Where are you from?" ”

Song Qiong smiled: "I know Secretary Zhao, I just talked outside, and I heard that there was something here, so I came over to take a look." ”

The middle-aged woman said "oh": "There was a barefoot doctor in the village, and I went there this time, Grandma Chen is a novice and has not picked up a few children, and Xiaorong was born prematurely, and the situation is not very good." ”

"Does that matter?" Song Qiong asked with concern.

The woman waved her hand a little impatiently: "I told you that you don't understand, women give birth to children, who can say clearly......"

Song Qiong was a little anxious, the mother's condition didn't sound good, the amniotic water broke, and the child refused to come out, and after a long time, he would suffocate or even die due to lack of oxygen.

In addition, the time is almost up, and he does not dare to delay it.

As soon as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Hongcun hurriedly running back, sweating profusely and his face was very ugly.

"Aunt Liu, how's it going, how's it going?"

The middle-aged woman at the door said, "I haven't given birth yet, please get a doctor?" ”

Zhao Hongcun shook his head: "The doctor of the commune didn't want to come, so he called the Shangping brigade, but there was no one, so I asked Tiezhu to ride a bicycle, and it would take more than half an hour at the earliest." ”

"How did this come ......?"

As soon as Aunt Liu's words fell, a scream suddenly sounded in the house, and then someone cried loudly, and a woman about thirty years old stumbled out and shouted: "Bleeding, bleeding, Xiao Rong fainted, hurry up and call the doctor, it's too late." ”

Zhao Hongcun's hands and feet were suddenly cold, and at this time, call the doctor again, even if everything goes well, when the doctor comes over, where will it be too late.

Aunt Liu turned around and rushed into the room, Song Qiong's movements were faster, and even grabbed in front of her, Aunt Liu hurriedly reached out and grabbed Song Qiong, and shouted angrily: "Hey, hey, what's the matter with you, a big man, what are you running around?" ”

Zhao Hongcun also hurriedly followed into the room: "Comrade Song Qiong, you come out, don't make trouble." ”

Song Qiong broke into the room and saw several people around the bed, and on the bed lay a pregnant woman with her eyes closed, her clothes disheveled, and sweating profusely, and the pregnant woman was dotted with red spots under her.

There was also a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl, lying in front of the maternity bed, crying "wow", crying and shouting: "Sister, sister-"

Song Qiong didn't care about anything else, and shouted: "I've been a doctor, get out of the way." ”

"You've been a doctor?"

Aunt Liu, Zhao Hongcun and the others were all slightly stunned, and then looked at Song Qiong with suspicious eyes.

Song Qiong's face was a little tender, and he didn't even look like he was twenty years old, which made Zhao Hongcun, Aunt Liu and others dare not believe that he is a doctor.

"What are you messing with, kid? Even if you have been a barefoot doctor for two days, what do you know about giving birth to a child? In front of the maternity bed, an old woman of fifty or sixty years old stood up and stood in front of Song Qiong.

Song Qiong was anxious, and when he saw Aunt Liu and Zhao Hongcun pulling him, and the old woman blocking herself, he couldn't help but be furious: "Human life is at stake, are you in the mood to joke with you?" ”

"Secretary Zhao, I have been a doctor, and my level is definitely better than that of ordinary barefoot doctors, if you believe me, let go of your hand and let these idlers go away; If you don't believe it, I'll leave immediately, I still have things, you can afford to delay, I can't afford to delay. ”

In the sixties and seventies, there was a shortage of doctors with formal medical education in China, and the higher education system was repeatedly impacted. So they selected some people from the countryside to receive short-term training and provide general medical care to the villagers after they returned, and these people were commonly known as "barefoot doctors".

Song Qiong actually didn't work as a barefoot doctor, but only learned a little from the barefoot doctor in the village. However, after he arrived in Lungang, he once followed an old Chinese medicine practitioner and practiced medicine for more than ten years, and had some unique skills in acupuncture and moxibustion and health preservation of Chinese medicine.

I haven't practiced medicine for a long time, and it is a relatively rare case like a pregnant woman in labor, if it weren't for the critical situation, Song Qiong would not have taken action.

But that's it, but people stop it, and Song Qiong is very annoyed.

Zhao Hongcun hadn't spoken yet, and the grandmother standing in front of the bed had already pushed Song Qiong impatiently: "You are an idle person, don't make trouble here, leave immediately." ”

Zhao Hongcun was a little hesitant, but thinking of what Song Qiong said, Xiao Rong really couldn't afford to delay, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold the old woman: "Grandma, Xiao Rong is very dangerous now, let Doctor Song take a look." ”

He didn't have any confidence in Song Qiong, but the situation was urgent, so he had to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor.

There are also faint expectations in his heart, feeling that Song Qiong, a young man, looks very calm, he doesn't need to lie, maybe he really has some skills.

But I think this idea is unacceptable, it is wishful thinking, a little child under the age of twenty, he is afraid of blood when he sees it, and he will give birth to someone?

Hearing Zhao Hongcun say this, Aunt Liu also let go of her hand suspiciously, and Grandma Chen was so angry that she stomped her feet: "Hongcun, you are really confused-"

A little girl in front of the bed looked at Song Qiong and kept wiping her tears: "Are you really a doctor?" Please, save my sister. ”

Song Qiong didn't care about being angry with Grandma Chen, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on the mother's condition.

"Grandma, the doctor won't be able to come for a while, let him try, it won't be worse." Zhao Hongcun explained, and hurriedly walked behind Song Qiong: "Doctor Song, then, then please leave it to you." Please save my daughter and the baby in her womb......"

"He's a milk baby, and it hasn't been long since he came out of his fucking belly, how does he know about a woman giving birth......" Grandma Chen chattered beside her, but didn't come up to pull people again.

Song Qiong no longer paid attention to these disputes, stepped forward to look at the situation of the pregnant woman, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He can still deal with ordinary problems, but if the situation is too serious, it is not something he can handle.

The pregnant woman was red and bleeding, but the situation was not too serious, and those people had never seen it, so they were so flustered. But if you continue to toss like this, the situation will be difficult to say.

Song Qiong groaned slightly, and then had an idea.

He stretched out his hand and pinched the pregnant woman's midriff, and the pregnant woman quickly "sighed" and slowly opened her eyes.

"Don't move, don't be nervous, I'm a doctor, the child is doing well now, but you must stay awake and calm." Song Qiong said. Without the cooperation of the pregnant woman, if you want to give birth to a child, you can only have a caesarean section, and in this era, a caesarean section under such conditions is almost like suicide.

The pregnant woman's face was wet and pale, but she couldn't hide a rare pretty, and she nodded weakly but firmly.

Song Qiong couldn't help but have some admiration, people in this era are relatively poor materially and spiritually, but the most important thing is tenacity.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Seeing the pregnant woman in shock wake up, Zhao Hongcun, Aunt Liu and others couldn't help but be slightly excited, this young man really seems to have some means.

The little girl cried with joy and cried out, "Sister—"

"Secretary Zhao, hurry up and prepare a bowl of brown sugar water, there is no brown sugar, and white sugar is fine." Song Qiong turned back and commanded quickly.

Zhao Hongcun did not hesitate this time, and hurriedly asked who had brown sugar at home, although there was a shortage of materials, but Yuehai as a sugar production area, the village could still get a little sugar, and soon someone agreed and ran back to get the sugar.

"Send another person to the barefoot doctor's house in the village, find out if there is a medicine box left, if so, bring all the medicine and tools, preferably to find the silver needle......s for acupuncture," Song Qiong then ordered.

Seeing Song Qiong's command, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what he asked, someone immediately agreed, and he did it immediately.

"Come to two people, preferably with a little more strength, to help the pregnant woman change to a flat lying position." Song Qiong also instructed everyone to let the pregnant woman lie flat in a "shock position", that is, the cephalothorax and feet are raised about twenty or thirty degrees, lying flat in a V-shape, which can keep the airway open, improve the symptoms of hypoxia, promote venous blood return, increase cardiac blood output, and relieve the symptoms of shock.

The mother's condition has improved, and the expressions on everyone's faces have finally eased a little.

The barefoot doctors and midwives in the village have all run away, and no one in the village understands this, so it is natural that they will be very panicked.

Originally, they didn't have much confidence in Song Qiong, but now that they see him behaving calmly, being sophisticated and mature, and arranging things in an orderly manner, they can't help but rely on him in their hearts, so they are not as nervous as they were just now.

Song Qiong looks young, but he feels trustworthy.

It's Grandma Chen, muttering in her mouth

, but he didn't dare to criticize anything.

Aunt Liu smiled the most: "Doctor, Xiao Rong, is she okay?" ”

"It's not a big problem." Song Qiong said.

Aunt Liu listened to it and was even more happy: "That's good, that's good, thanks to you-"

Aunt Liu is such a person, straight to the point, grateful in her heart, and just say it.

The little girl patted her chest excitedly: "Thank you, doctor." ”

Song Qiong smiled, and then began to check the situation of the pregnant woman's birth.

When a pregnant woman gives birth, it is normal for the amniotic fluid to break and see redness, as long as the blood does not stop flowing, or the fetus is stuck, there is no need to be too nervous.

However, childbirth itself is also a very difficult and dangerous event, especially in the case of relatively poor medical and health conditions, any accident may bring serious harm to the mother and baby.

The risk of premature birth is even greater, because the baby is not fully grown in the mother's womb, and it can be very dangerous if the delivery does not go well.

One of the most common risks is dystocia.

There are many reasons for dystocia, including labor force, birth canal, and fetus.

Song Qiong touched the pregnant woman's pelvis and the outline of the fetus in the abdomen very carefully through the clothes, pondered for a moment, and asked a few simple questions, roughly confirming that the pregnant woman was born prematurely because of palpitations and emotional instability.

This is a relatively easy situation to deal with.

Song Qiong was very attentive in his examination, and even left that important matter behind, not to mention that the pale face of the pregnant woman on the bed gradually turned a shy red.

After a while, the villagers brought white sugar, which was quickly mixed into a bowl of thick sugar water, and Song Qiong asked people to feed pregnant women to drink, which was used to increase blood sugar concentration and restore weak qi, blood and strength.

At this time, someone also carried the medicine box from the barefoot doctor's house in the village, and Song Qiong opened it to see that there was indeed a set of needles for acupuncture, as well as alcohol, disinfectant cotton, some common medicines, and so on.

At that time, barefoot doctors did not need to master many medical skills, but acupuncture was also one of them, and there was even a saying that "one needle cures a hundred diseases".

In fact, the acupuncture technique mastered by the barefoot doctor is very simple, far inferior to Song Qiong, and the effect of treatment is not so good, and it can only play some auxiliary role in the treatment of some common diseases.

The pregnant woman drank a large bowl of sugar water and lay on the bed with one or two moans of pain from time to time.

"Big brother, my sister hurts, can you cure her quickly?"

Song Qiong looked up at the little girl who was talking, with a melon seed face, big eyes, a round and delicate nose, and a ruddy cherry mouth, she was a beautiful embryo.

"Don't worry, your sister's stomach hurts because the baby in her belly is moving, wait for her to rest for a while, and then use a little strength to give birth to the child and it will be fine."

"Really? That would be great. The girl's tear-stained little face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile.

When everyone heard this, they felt more relieved, and the mood of the pregnant woman gradually stabilized.

Song Qiong waited for a while before taking out the silver needle and wiping it with an alcohol cotton wool to disinfect: "Okay, let's work hard, the little guy is already in a hurry." ”

Song Qiong asked people to hold the pregnant woman and let the pregnant woman exert force, and he stretched out his fingers, grabbed the white and delicate feet of the pregnant woman, found the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet, and gently rubbed them.

The pregnant woman tried her best, sweating profusely, the sound of pain became louder and louder, and the others were very nervous.

After kneading for a while, Song Qiong picked up the silver needle, identified the two acupoints of Hegu and Sanyin, and the lightning pierced, and the soft silver needle instantly sank into nearly one-third.

After two stitches in a row, Song Qiong pinched the two needles at the same time, staggered twisting, which made people dizzy.

After a while, I only heard a "wow", and someone shouted excitedly: "Come out, it's a ...... with a handle."
