153 Dystocia
Sheng Qingqing was dumbfounded, where is this the amiable second aunt Niu on weekdays, it seems to be a different person.
"Third aunt, what's going on? How could the second aunt ...... "bloody?"
Sheng Qingqing looked around and endured the last few words.
The third aunt was indifferent, her tone and expression were calm, and she said lightly: "Oh, your second aunt is helping someone deliver the baby, and there is a daughter-in-law in the village who has a difficult birth." ”
Delivery......
Sheng Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was a midwife, it would be no wonder that Aunt Niu would be covered in blood. And seeing that she and the middle-aged man's face is so ugly, it is estimated that it is because of the difficult birth of the woman who gave birth.
In ancient times, dystocia was a major event, and the probability of death was extremely high, and if you were not careful, it would be a corpse with two lives. Looking at Aunt Niu's expression, it is obvious that the woman who had a difficult birth this time is not very good.
"Third aunt, who is it difficult to give birth?" Sheng Qingqing asked in a low voice.
She felt that it was not good to speak loudly in such a serious situation.
For some reason, the third aunt, who has always been open-minded, also lowered her voice at this time, and she said, "It's your Uncle Sheng's second daughter-in-law." The little girl is only 16 years old this year, and it is the first time that she has suffered a serious crime. ”
The third aunt had a pity on her face and sighed again and again.
Sheng Qingqing swallowed her throat, but her attention was on another aspect.
Sixteen years old......
In modern times, sixteen years old is not yet an adult, and he is in high school, but here, he is already married, and he is even about to become a mother of a child. It's really unimaginable, but the people in the village think it's normal to have a biological child at this age......
Wait, it seems a little wrong.
Sheng Qingqing thought about it, and felt that there was something that she seemed to have overlooked.
If everyone thinks that it is normal to get married at the age of sixteen, then dystocia should not be a good-looking excitement for the people in the village, after all, in such a backward medical environment, dystocia is very common. And once it is difficult to give birth, that carelessness is a corpse and two lives. And such a thing as a dead man is unfortunate everywhere.
"Third aunt, you just said that the big guys are here to see the fun. What is there to see in this bustle of dystocia? Sheng Qingqing thought about it for a long time, and felt that there must be something hidden inside, so she couldn't help but ask more.
The third aunt has always known everything, and immediately explained at this time: "Naturally, I didn't come to see dystocia. ”
She suddenly pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "Do you know who that is?" ”
Sheng Qingqing frowned and looked at the middle-aged man carefully.
looks like he is only in his twenties, his face is white and beardless, and although his facial features are ordinary, his eyes are very bright, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person. And the most striking thing is that his hair is not tied with a cloth band as casually as the men in the village, but is erected with a crown.
The hair crown doesn't look valuable, it's just an ordinary silky one, but the meaning of the hair crown makes Sheng Qingqing can't help but be frightened.
In these days, only those who can wear a crown can read a book. And it's not the kind of reader who knows a few words, you must have been out of the examination room, and at least those who have passed the exam to be eligible to wear a hair crown.
For example, the peasants in Shengjia Village can only tie their hair with cloth belts.
"Who the hell is this?" Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
She was very sure that she had never seen this middle-aged man in Shengjia Village. And this middle-aged man is definitely not from Shengjia Village. Shengjia Village is full of farmers, and there are absolutely no scholars who are admitted to the examination.
"It's not from our Shengjia Village, you naturally don't know." The third aunt talked about this man, but her tone was full of envy, and said: "This is your Uncle Sheng's second son-in-law, surnamed Wen, and he is a talented old man." ”
Sure enough, it's a showman!
And since he is Uncle Sheng's second son-in-law, he naturally has a reason to appear here, after all, it is his daughter-in-law who has a difficult birth in the house.
Sheng Qingqing sighed secretly, and knew it in her heart.
The third aunt over there seemed to be very envious of this Wen Xiucai, and she was still gushing: "Speaking of which, this old man Wen is amazing, he was admitted to Tongsheng at a young age, and later in order to take the academic examination, he would rather delay his marriage." worked so hard, and sure enough, he was admitted to Xiucai the year before last, and your Uncle Sheng valued his character, so he married his second daughter to him. If you want to say that although Si Yatou is good-looking, her body bones are a little worse, otherwise she wouldn't have had a difficult birth today......"
In addition to envy, the third aunt's tone was full of pity, Sheng Qingqing was very suspicious, if the third aunt had a daughter of the right age in the family, she would definitely find a way to marry this Wen Xiucai.
After all, for the village people who don't know a few big characters, being able to read is already a good literary style. At this time, it is really very difficult for the countryside to find a few middle talents. There are also many people who spend a lifetime studying, but in the end, they can't even pass the exam. And like Wen Xiucai, who won Xiucai at such a young age, it can really be regarded as a promising future.
"Listen to the third aunt, Uncle Sheng's daughter had a difficult birth because she was not in good health?" Sheng Qingqing asked again.
The third aunt's face stiffened, "It's not because of this, I just said it was smooth, and there are other reasons." ”
Sheng Qingqing pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She also guessed that it was so, if it was just because of the poor body and difficult birth, the people in the village would not be so interested in coming to see the excitement, even if the difficult birth was the daughter-in-law of the Xiucai master, then in the final analysis, it was only a woman with a difficult birth, and it was really impossible for half of the village to put down their work and come here to see the excitement.
"What is the reason for that? I looked at the second aunt and didn't look very good, didn't she ......"
The third aunt hurriedly waved her hand and interrupted her later words.
"It's hard to talk nonsense." She pulled Sheng Qingqing and said, "I don't know what the specific situation is, so it's better to ask your second aunt about it." ”
Sheng Qingqing also has this intention, although the third aunt has a hearty temperament, she really speaks in an incoherent manner, and she can't get to the point after talking for a long time.
The two of them crossed the crowd and walked towards Aunt Niu.
Because the relationship between the third aunt and the second aunt Niu is very good, the people in the village saw that it was the third aunt, and no one stopped her.
"But why did you find a second aunt to deliver the baby?" Sheng Qingqing was a little curious.
The third aunt said: "She knows a little bit of medical skills in the village, and Wen Xiu heard about it, so she came to her." ”
Aunt Niu actually doesn't know how to use medical skills, at most she knows a little try. But apart from her, most of the village women are ordinary village women who can't read a single word, and Wen Xiu is not very relieved to let them deliver the baby.
"After all, it's a difficult birth." The third aunt sighed.
If you are not careful, you will have two lives, of course, you have to be careful, not to mention that I heard that this is Wen Xiucai's first child, so naturally you can be as cautious as you can.
As they spoke, the two walked in front of Aunt Niu.
Aunt Niu had been talking to Wen Xiucai all the time, with a solemn expression, and it was only when the two of them walked in front of them that they found them.
"Girl?!" Aunt Niu was very surprised, and she couldn't care about Xiucai for a while, and asked repeatedly: "When did you come back, are you okay these days?" It's hard work all the way, why didn't you rest at home. ”
Sheng Qingqing hurriedly shook her head, "I just came back, and the carriage I took is not hard." I'm just here to see the situation, second aunt, you're busy. ”
Aunt Niu was just excited just now, but she didn't react, and when she said this, she immediately understood that Sheng Qingqing should have come to find a pair of younger siblings.
"I can't get busy right now." Aunt Niu sighed and said, "Zhi Yatou and Siming are playing at your Uncle Sheng's house, if you want to find them, go ahead." ”
"Can't get busy?" Sheng Qingqing was a little surprised.
Looking at Aunt Niu's blood, she should have experienced a tough battle, why can't she be busy now? Could it be that the condition of the pregnant woman has stabilized? But looking at Wen Xiucai's solemn expression, it doesn't seem like this.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Aunt Niu lowered her voice and explained: "I have made Si Yatou's body a little more stable, but that is only temporary, if you don't want to collapse blood, there is still a lack of a few medicines, those few medicines are cherished, and you need to go to the town to buy them temporarily." ”
Buy in town?!
Although Shengjia Village is not far from the town, if you go temporarily, it can be regarded as a long distance, even if you take an ox cart, it will take at least three or four hours to go back and forth.
It takes three or four hours to save people, and it's just a joke.
"Most of the medicinal materials are ordinary, and the second aunt also has them at home, just those few flavors of medicine, I cherish them too much......" Aunt Niu also sighed again and again. Most of the medicinal herbs are very ordinary, and usually their family needs to dry the herbs to sell, so these herbs are available. But as for the few flavors that are missing, each of them is not something that can be picked in ordinary mountains, and it is not commonly used, so the cattle family did not store it.
But I didn't expect that now there are two lives hanging on these medicines......
Sheng Qingqing was speechless, even Aunt Niu couldn't help it, she definitely couldn't help it. She can only cook, and she can't go into the kitchen to cook a dish for her right now......
Wait a minute!
Thinking of the kitchen, Sheng Qingqing's eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of a good solution.
"Second aunt, I went to Cheng's house these days to do things for Young Master Cheng, but I got a good baby as a reward!"
Aunt Niu was very cooperative, and asked in surprise: "What is the reward?!" ”
Not only her, but even Nawen Xiucai and the third aunt pricked up their ears and listened, I don't know why she was talking about medicinal materials just now, but she suddenly mentioned this matter.
The fame of the Cheng family in these ten miles and eight towns is really extraordinary, from the old man to the drooping child, everyone knows the fame of the Cheng family and the mystery of the Cheng family.
At this time, Sheng Qingqing said that he got a good baby in the Cheng family, and none of the people did not believe it.
After all, a few days ago, Sheng Qingqing was picked up by the Cheng family's carriage, and almost the entire village knew about it. Even if there were a few things that I didn't know, they were all told by Aunt Niu.
Aunt Niu's original intention was to let the people in the village know that Sheng Qingqing was now promising, so that the people of the Cheng family would value it and invite her to work. didn't expect it, but now Sheng Qingqing was exempted from an explanation.
