Chapter 020: Assistance
The ox cart soon arrived at the gate of Lizheng's house. His family was a big landowner, and many tenants in the village rented their fields for farming, so Li Zheng was quite wealthy, built a very large farm, and naturally also raised long-term servants and servants.
The gatekeeper heard the servant who drove to pick up the man tell him the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly let him go.
Xiao Yu followed Liu and the others into the door, and before he got closer, he saw several people waiting outside the delivery room. An old lady with gray hair and a rich body sat on a carved circle chair with a cane, and said angrily: "Didn't you say that you have already gone to ask for a doctor?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? If my good grandson ......"
"Second Miss Xiao has arrived!" Someone came to report urgently.
The people who were waiting there immediately got out of the way when they heard the words.
Mrs. Zhou looked up and saw a little girl about ten years old walking hurriedly, surprised by her young age, and a suspicious look flashed on her face. But at this moment, she didn't allow her to think about it more, so she only said repeatedly: "This little doctor, go and see my granddaughter-in-law, please keep the child." ”
Xiao Yu nodded and hurriedly saluted, took off his robe, lifted the heavy curtain and entered the delivery room.
The room was a little stuffy, a woman with disheveled hair and a pale face covered in sweat was lying on the bed, blood was constantly oozing out of her lower body, and the two mothers-in-law were wiping with a white cloth, and a little girl next to her was carrying the blood.
Seeing Xiao Yu come in, the two midwives were stunned.
Xiao Yu suppressed the nausea tension in her heart and stepped forward to check on the mother's situation.
Wen Po saw that he was checking his pulse in a good way, and hurriedly said: "The palace mouth opened two fingers, the mother fainted, and the leakage did not stop, and now the most important thing is to stop the bleeding or save a life." ”
Xiao Yu nodded, she had no problem. Immediately took out a silver needle and neatly pierced it to stop the bleeding. Immediately a few more points were pierced.
Lu woke up with a muffled snort, and then said in a trembling voice: "My child, my child......"
The two midwives were overjoyed.
The most important thing at this moment is to calm the heart of the mother and strengthen her faith. Xiao Yu hurriedly held her hand and said, "I am a doctor, if you listen to me, you will definitely be able to give birth to the child safely, believe me." ”
Hearing this, Lu's death-like face was a little more bloody, and he nodded tremblingly.
Xiao Yu took out a brown pill from the medicine box, asked someone to bring it to the soup and said, "You take it first, this will help to produce the Open Bone Pill." ”
The medicinal fragrance dispelled the dullness of many delivery rooms.
Lu Shi took the pill and drank all the ginseng soup, regained some strength, and relaxed a little.
It didn't take long for the two stable women who had been observing to say excitedly: "It's on!" It's really a elixir, Dr. Zhou's magic hand rejuvenated, and the palace mouth was opened! ”
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. The mother's medical skills are superb, and the medicines left behind are also good. She has prepared a lot of pills recently, but most of them are poison/drug antidotes and some common medicines such as cowardice, antipyretic and diarrhea, and she did not think of making an open-bone pill for midwifery. Fortunately, there is this in the medicine I kept before.
After a little recollection, Xiao Yu took the mother's shoulders into an inch of pricking. After a while, Wen Po touched Lu's abdominal cavity, reached into the delivery door to check, and said happily: "Okay, the fetus has left menstruation, and it is about to come out!" ”
Then in Xiao Yu's stunned gaze, the two stable women helped Lu up and let him grasp the crossbar supported by the bed, one hugged the mother from behind, and the other knelt on the ground.
Xiao Yu had heard that many pregnant women now give birth to children standing or sitting, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes this time. She waited for something to happen and didn't go out immediately. I saw that Lu Shi followed the words of the midwife, and his teeth were clenched in pain, and he didn't dare to shout loudly to waste his physical strength after listening to the words of the mother-in-law, and the sweat was like rain.
Xiao Yu couldn't bear to look at it directly, and there was a little more shadow on the child.
Wen Po suddenly said solemnly: "The fetal position has not been corrected, and it has been born." ”
Xiao Yu's heart sank when she heard this, she really couldn't do anything about it. Lu's face was also pale. But seeing that Wen Po was not alarmed, she helped Lu Shi to lie down without panic, and comforted: "The old body has been delivering babies for many years, and I have encountered such things several times, so I will do my best." ”
At this time, Lu's back on the couch, Wen Po washed her hands with hot water and scalded them, and reached into the delivery door and said: "The old body tries to push the fetus to a straight point without making the umbilical cord entangled." ”
How can this midwife have such ability? Xiao Yu was impressed by it.
"Alright, the head is at the delivery gate." Soon Wen Po took a long breath and said, "Take the decoction." ”
Xiao Yu was amazed. These midwives are worthy of being midwives for many years and have their own skills. Immediately took the decoction handed by the maid and gave it to Lu to eat.
"Hard, good, harder!" Wen Po shouted, "Come out soon, hard!" ”
Lu Shi listened to Wen Po's command, couldn't help moaning, and suddenly shouted, and then his expression was relieved and tears flowed.
"Born!" Wen Po shouted loudly.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he saw a mother-in-law picking up the newborn baby, red and wrinkled, and suddenly smiled easily, and persuaded Lu: "Don't cry, this is a happy event, don't cry your eyes." ”
Wen Po patted the baby's little buttocks twice, and a loud cry rang out.
"Raw! Raw! Outside the door, the crowd shouted, their voices excited, and some people wept with joy.
Wen Po shouted out happily: "It's a big fat boy!" ”
Then one of them picked up the scalded scissors and broke the umbilical cord, wrapped the small pieces left on the baby's body with fine twine, and wrapped them in soft cotton cloth. The other cleaned up the filth under Lu's body.
Then the two smiled and wrapped the newborn in a padded jacket and carried it to the door.
Mrs. Zhou and Li Zheng came over early, lifted the cloth pocket and looked closely, it was really a kid, a heartfelt baby, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Xiao Yu sweated profusely and squeezed out of the delivery room from several people.
Xiao Pei, who was waiting outside, was very happy to hear that Lizheng's daughter-in-law gave birth smoothly and that the mother and child were safe, and that a boy had been added. Seeing Xiao Yu coming out at this moment, he hurriedly greeted her and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, with a smile on her face.
"Ah Yu saved two people this time, it's really hard for you."
"I'm just trying a little bit, and I'll never dare next time. This time, the main reason is that the two midwives have high skills and do not panic. Xiao Yu shook his head and said, and then talked about Lu's production.
Although it was a simple narrative, Xiao Pei listened to such twists and turns, his face was still pale, and he was very lucky.
A few people next to him had recovered from the excitement of hearing Tian Ding at the beginning, and when they heard Xiao Yu say this, Mrs. Zhou said repeatedly: "Thank you for the help of the little doctor, the two stable women have also worked hard." Please come to the lobby for tea first. ”
Li was busy asking people to prepare a thank-you gift, and his wife Wang went in person with a smile on her face.
Xiao Yu knew that he didn't know much, and hurriedly said: "I'm not a doctor, and I don't know much about medical science, but fortunately, I happened to have a few precious prescriptions left by the ancestors of the Xiao family." It was the two stable mothers' magic skills that made the young lady's mother and son safe. ”
Everyone said: "Second Sister Xiao is too modest." ”
The two stable women and the maids waiting in the delivery room were full of praise for Xiao Yu's pills and medical skills.
Xiao Yu continued to explain that she was not good at medical skills, but seeing that everyone was not humble to her, she had to give up.
After a while, Wang and his son Zhou Qingui took out a thank you gift, and Xiao Yu and the two Wen Po were all carved gift boxes. Wang said with a smile: "It's just ten taels of silver and a ruler, it's not worth anything." ”
Ten taels of silver! The two stable women were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't stop saying auspicious words in their mouths.
Xiao Yu accepted it after a little excuse and said goodbye.
When a few people were leaving, Mrs. Zhou also told them to remember to come to watch the ceremony at three o'clock, and Xiao Yu responded with a smile.
Li Zheng still sent a mule cart to take everyone home.
