Chapter 23 Practicing Medicine

"Did the afterbirth fall off?" Zhangzhu hurriedly asked the midwife.

The midwife said, "No, I haven't come down, and I reached in and pulled it out." ”

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier?" Waiting for the hot water to come in, she cleaned her hands again and again, she put her hand in, she was shocked, something was wrong. At this time, she suddenly remembered a case that her mother told her when she was a child, and the situation was really similar to what she is now.

"Master, may you not have this possibility?"

Shui Jing hurriedly asked, "What is possible?" ”

"The mother is actually pregnant with twins, one of whom has been lost and the other is still in the body."

Her words surprised the women present, and the midwife said in disbelief: "Twins? How can it be? ”

"I think it's likely."

The eldest lady hurriedly asked, "So is the remaining one still alive?" ”

Zhangzhu said: "The amniotic fluid has been polluted, and there is another mother who has shed so much blood, and her vitality is greatly damaged, how can she still save the other." It's going to kill her. ”

Shui Jing took the pulse of the mother again, and then pressed her stomach, she nodded and said, "What you said may be true." ”

"Then find a way to get the other fetus in the body to come down as well."

As soon as the eldest lady's legs were weak, she knelt on the ground.

changed the treatment strategy, and the water purifier and the two of them were busy. If it is said that treating the old man in front of him is just a hand, then the patient in front of him is the first time that the two have really joined forces. The unfazed appearance of the palm beads and the hidden medical skills attracted the attention of the water purifier for the first time.

Under the joint efforts of the two, after some tossing, the other fetus was successfully delivered. The fetus was also stillborn, with a bruised face.

The midwife showed the stillborn child to the woman: "Like the previous one, it is a son." ”

The eldest lady didn't look away, she didn't dare to look at it, she just muttered: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate." ”

The midwife took the stillborn out to deal with it, and the afterbirth garment fell smoothly. The mother's face has turned blue-gray, her lips are pale, and she looks dead.

Shui Jing shouted: "Hurry, be fast." ”

Zhangzhu did not dare to slack off, pinching the silver needle to stimulate several key acupuncture points in the human body. By the time the two were tired and out of breath, the mother's condition was finally getting better little by little.

The two of them tried their best to rescue, and finally saw a faint glimmer of hope.

Gradually, the mother's heartbeat was already obvious, and the blue and gray on her face gradually faded, and the two breathed a sigh of relief. Zhangzhu was so tired that he couldn't stand on his feet and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was no longer in trouble, the eldest mother knelt down to the two and kowtowed to gratitude: "The two are really living bodhisattvas, living bodhisattvas." ”

Zhangzhu hurriedly went to help the eldest lady up, and said: "It's her life that shouldn't be extinguished, she has a strong sense of survival, and if she wants to live, we pulled her." It is also a kind of luck to survive such a dangerous situation. ”

The eldest lady boiled sugar water eggs for them, but the water purifier didn't even eat the eggs, and said to Zhangzhu: "You eat it, you also need to make up for it." ”

"Hmm." Zhangzhu picked up the bowl, probably tired and hungry, and the most ordinary food in the past became the best delicacy in the world at this moment.

The eldest lady boiled millet porridge for Shuijing, and added some brown sugar to the millet porridge.

After eating, Zhangzhu asked the eldest mother: "Is your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at home?" What about your son? ”

The eldest mother said helplessly: "I was arrested at the end of last year to fight, and I don't know if he is dead or alive." ”

Zhangzhu saw the pain in the eldest mother's eyes, and heard the eldest mother say: "I have a total of two sons, the eldest son was arrested last year, and the younger son left three years ago, and he also went to war, and he has not come back for three years." The eldest son said that he wanted to inquire about the younger son. But I always felt that nothing good would come out. ”

The successive wars have brought down the people and the country. What the people want is stability.

The Xie family is a family of military generals, and there are several generals who were born and died for Da Chu, and exchanged their blood for the prosperity of the Xie family. But at this moment, Xie Ruoyi hates war, and in her opinion, war has taken everything away from her.

Zhangzhu walked behind Shui Jing, and the road back to the nunnery was so far away. After walking for a while, Shui Shui squatted down and said to Zhangzhu, "Come up." ”

Zhangzhu looked at the somewhat thin back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can still walk." ”

"What kind of strength is it, you have not recovered, you have followed me for such a long way, and participated in the rescue, your body has long been unbearable, right?"

"It's okay, I'm not as delicate as Shitai imagined."

Shui Jing insisted: "You are my patient, and I have the obligation to take care of my own patient, so don't bother talking anymore, come up." ”

Zhangzhu couldn't refuse the kindness of Master Shuijing, and finally climbed onto that back.

The water purifier looked short and thin, but he was extremely powerful, and he walked quickly and smoothly with the palm beads on his back. The palm beads lay on the back of Mrs. Shuijing, and she pressed her face up, and she couldn't help but remember that her mother also carried her like this when she was a child. The thought of her mother made her heart tingle. Her mother is not only a skilled doctor, gentle and virtuous, but also has all the good qualities, and in her opinion she is the best woman in the world.

But why is there no good reward for giving birth to good people, but in the end it ends like this. When my mother resolutely jumped off that ancient well, what kind of despair and grief should she have.

She and her mother are separated by yin and yang, and they will never see each other again in this life and this life, and she wants to lie on her mother's lap again and be coquettish, and then shout "mother". But all of this has become a luxury.

Leaning on his warm back, he felt something wet slip down his face and soak it on Master Shuijing's robe. Is she crying? When she thought she would never shed a single tear again, she finally cried.

Zhangzhu was embarrassed to lie on Shuijing's back again, she raised her head, she couldn't bear the tears wetting Shuijing's clothes, she raised her sleeves and wiped the tears on her face. She looked up at the clear blue sky, and somewhere there were clouds like cotton balls, and she seemed to see her mother standing on the clouds and looking at her tenderly. Although her mother is gone, in Zhangzhu's view, she is just protecting herself in a different way.

Shui Jing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the girl on her back was crying?! She clearly felt the slight tremor of the girl's body, as well as the faint wetness on her clothes.

Finally returned to Jingci Nunnery, Bao Yan had been waiting impatiently, and finally saw that Zhangzhu had returned safely, she was relieved, but she quickly noticed that something was wrong and shouted: "Girl, your clothes are covered with blood, and the wound is cracked again, isn't it?" ”

Zhangzhu looked down, and there was no pain in her body, it was the blood of the mother.
