228 Survival (7)
After twenty days in the desert, they had run out of ammunition and food. Finally, the great wizard blind cat ran into the dead mouse and found Shaquanzi, and a group of men ran to the shallow spring like crazy, lying on the ground, and drinking desperately.
Tuoba Yan commanded everyone and kept saying: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone fill the water bladder, leave immediately, and let the people behind pick up the water." ”
The people in front of them reluctantly left the sand spring, Ye Letian and Jimmy took the women to the spring, drank water and poured water, and by the way, they washed their faces and hands with water in their hands, and washed away the dust of the wind and sand for many days.
The faces of the people of the Qingyun Department finally showed a smile, as if the haze above their heads for many days had all dispersed and they were happily on the road.
However, one wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. Just one day after the army walked out, Yeletian suddenly heard Jimmy running over and said anxiously: "Oh no, there is a pregnant woman about to give birth." ”
"This is about to be born, can we still hold on, we are about to get out of the desert." Yeletian was shocked, she had never given birth and didn't know how to cope at all.
Jimmy is also a big girl, so frightened that her hands and feet are cold, she said eagerly: "The pregnant woman screamed miserably, the amniotic water was broken, and she couldn't wait." ”
Although Ye Letian has never given birth, he also knows the meaning of the broken amniotic water. She forced her composure and said to Jimmy, "Go and ask if there is an old woman who can deliver the baby, and have someone set up a tent, light a fire and boil water, and prepare to deliver the baby." ”
"Okay, okay." Jimmy took a couple of little slave girls to get busy. Ye Letian went to Tuoba Yan, who needed water to deliver babies, and in the desert, the most scarce thing was water resources.
"Water. Fortunately, we passed by Shaquanzi and brought a little. Tuoba Yan said, "You take mine, as well as Alem and Abutai water bladders, you find a big pot and boil it." ”
"Maybe not enough." Yele was embarrassed, "I heard that when a woman gives birth to a child, she takes a turn around the ghost gate, and a pot of water is enough." ”
"This ......," Tuoba Yan was a little embarrassed, "that's all the water, we still have to drink it." And, who knows when we'll be able to get out of the desert. ”
"Let everyone contribute a little water, so many people, there are always two or three pots." Yeletian suggested.
Tuoba thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, "You put the pot up, and I'll have someone take a sip of water." ”
Inside the tent, the mother broke out in a cold sweat and was in unbearable pain. Jimmy found an old woman who had delivered dozens of children, and she and several able-bodied women were in the tent and began to deliver the baby. Outside the tent, Jimmy and several slave girls stacked matches together and set up a cauldron to boil water. Ye Letian quickly ran over and commanded: "One pot is not enough, two more pots." ”
"How can we have so much water?" Jimmy wondered.
"The Khan said that he would ask the herdsmen and soldiers to provide us with a little water." "Go and find some more dead branches to make the fire stronger." ”
Jimmy beckoned more women to pick up twigs around the area, and Khan came over with some soldiers. Everyone poured a small half pot of water into the pot, and in a few moments, a large pot was full.
"Kedun, the pregnant woman is about to give birth." The mother-in-law who delivered the baby shouted from the tent, "I want hot water, a knife, and a clean white cloth." ”
"How can there be a clean white cloth?" Jimmy was in a hurry, how long had they not bathed in the desert, and they were covered in sand, and there was something clean somewhere.
"I have a clean white cloth." Yeletian secretly grabbed Jimmy and whispered, "Use the silk that wraps your breasts." ”
"That'...... All right. Jimmy couldn't think of any other way, so she and Yele poured into the tent, undressed and took out a clean "white cloth".
Everything was ready, and the pregnant woman began to scream, hard. Yele leaned out of the tent and watched as the slave girl went in with a basin full of hot water and came out with blood. Ye Letian was terrified to watch, and combined with the crying of the pregnant woman, it was really earth-shattering.
The rest of the herders also gathered in front of their tents to pray for the pregnant women. Soon, the three pots of water ran out, and Ye Letian hurriedly pleaded with the people around him, "Whoever still has water, let's contribute more." ”
Yeltan had already poured his own water and had to turn to the herders for help. Some people quietly shook their water bladders, listening to the sound that the water had bottomed out, and they didn't want to contribute. While everyone is hesitating, Jimmy is the first to pour all his water bladders into the pot until it empties.
"There were a lot of women here, and most of them had children. Even if you have not been born, you will be born in the future. Can you bear to watch pregnant women suffer? Jimmy said to the women.
Hot water can disinfect and stimulate contractions, which is very important. The women knew this, and some thought about it, picked up the kettle and poured it out.
Jimmy continued to mobilize: "You men, don't you have children, and even if you don't, don't you want children in the future?" Think about your own women giving birth, what if there is a lack of water? Human life is at stake, don't be stingy, it's a big deal that we will turn around later, and then go back to Shaquanzi to get water. ”
Men think about it, pregnant women are in a hurry to use water, and they are embarrassed not to help. After a while, another pot of water had accumulated, and now, the pregnant woman had been giving birth for an hour.
Finally, only the cry of the baby came from the tent, and the cry was loud and loud in the desert. Yeletan, Jimmy, the midwives and the herders all smiled, and new life was born in this barren desert.
"Great, great, gave birth to a boy, mother and child are safe." The midwife didn't care about washing her bloody hands, and happily ran out to report the good news to everyone.
Some die on the road, others die on the road. Along the way, I have experienced too many hardships and obstacles. However, at this moment, when the crying of the newborn baby came, everyone heard hope.
Everyone hugged each other and cried, and Jimmy and Yeletian also hugged each other tightly. It was as if the kid belonged to everyone, and everyone was excited. Just then, someone suddenly heard a bell ringing.
"Kedun, I seem to hear the camel bell."
"I heard it too, there are so many camel bells."
"Camel bells? How can there be a camel bell? Jimmy was a little nervous, afraid that it would be a sand thief.
Ye Letian gently shook Jimmy's hand, "Sand thieves like to hide, there can't be a camel bell." Maybe it's someone passing by, maybe they'll be able to take us out of the desert. ”
"Great, we're saved!" Jimmy shouted. When the herdsmen heard this, they rejoiced again.
"Yes, we are saved." Tuoba Yan actually rode a horse and came from the front. Jimmy was wondering where he got the horse, but saw a person behind him, it was Qin Luo.
"Qin Luo!" Jimmy yelled again and ran over excitedly.
Qin Luo rode a horse and smiled, and said to everyone: "The Baisha Department is willing to let us take refuge, and sent a camel team to guide everyone. There is water and food on the camels, so let's eat and drink openly. ”
"Qin Luo, you saved Qingyun again." Tuoba Yan was grateful, "I thought that this time Qingyun would not be able to survive, but I didn't expect another village." ”
"If it weren't for the Khan who could lead the people of Qingyun across the desert, I wouldn't be able to help everyone." Qin Luo couldn't help but be impressed by Tuobaran, it was unimaginable that he could lead so many people through the desert safely.
Fortunately, all suffering will eventually pass, and the light in Yele's mouth has come.
