Chapter 115 The Mother in Labor 11
"Host, host, get up quickly, someone is coming."
Ziyue quickly put on her clothes, left the space, and opened the door of the clinic. A commotion erupted on the road in front of the door.
Crying, shouting, footsteps, the barking of village dogs, and the painful groans of women—all these sounds mingled together, growing ever closer.
Ziyue quickly invited the woman in. It turned out that the pregnant woman was about to give birth. They had hired a midwife and planned to have the baby at home, but the woman was having a difficult labor.
The midwife was at her wit's end and quickly had everyone carry the woman to a large hospital.
These days, you can't just go to a big hospital anytime, especially in the middle of the night. The family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Someone suggested that they could try taking him to Old Wang's place first.
Everyone was startled when they saw the little girl open the door. "Where's Old Wang? Where's Old Wang? Call him out quickly! Someone's about to die!"
A sharp, piercing sound rang out, like chalk slicing across a blackboard, causing Ziyue to frown involuntarily.
"Dr. Wang is at the house next door. Which of you should go over there quickly and call him over?"
"Then who are you? What are you doing here?" someone next to them asked.
"I'm a newly arrived village doctor, a former educated youth who just came to the countryside."
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Ziyue with expressions of disbelief and suspicion.
After all, Ziyue looks really young. If someone like that claims to be a doctor, who would dare let her treat patients?
The commotion in the middle of the night woke up many villagers, and many came to see what was happening.
Some villagers were genuinely worried about the woman in labor, while others were simply there to watch the spectacle.
Ignoring the doubts and whispers of the crowd, Ziyue stepped forward to take the pulse of the woman in labor. And you have to admit, her cold demeanor was quite intimidating.
The woman's husband came over and cried to Ziyue, "Doctor, doctor, you must save my wife! You must save her!"
At this moment, Uncle Zhong arrived. He looked at the condition of the woman in labor, shook his head and sighed, "This woman in labor is too late. Even if she were sent to a big hospital overnight, she probably wouldn't survive, regardless of her age."
Upon hearing this, the woman's husband sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Stop crying. It'll be too late if we send them to a big hospital anyway. They won't be able to save either one. Let me try. We'll save one if we can." Ziyue interrupted him.
She hurriedly told everyone to go out and prepare hot water, scissors, needles and thread, etc. Although everyone found it unbelievable and basically doubted her, what could a little girl of such a young age know?
But seeing Ziyue's cold face and her intimidating aura, he obediently walked out.
After all, this is a matter of human life.
Uncle Zhong looked at Ziyue seriously: "Ziyue, how confident are you?"
Ziyue replied, "Seven points."
Uncle Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll vouch for you, so you can come with confidence." With that, he went out to comfort the family members.
Inside the room, the woman in labor had already fainted from the pain.
"Xiao Jiu'er, scan the mother's physical condition."
"Okay, host."
Ziyue first gave the new mother a sip of diluted spiritual spring water, and then took out sterile needles and thread, scissors, iodine, cotton swabs, gauze, anesthetic needles, and so on from her spatial storage.
As for the ones she had others prepare, she didn't intend to use them; they were just a smokescreen.
More than an hour later, a child's crying came from inside the room.
"It's born! It's born! Hahaha, my baby is born! Haha, ha... Waaah..."
The man first laughed, then cried softly, and finally burst into loud sobs.
The woman next to her was also constantly wiping away tears with her sleeve.
"She actually survived! This young girl looks so young, but she's really that amazing!"
"Yes, yes, who would have thought that a girl who looks only in her teens would have such amazing medical skills?"
At this point, everyone came to their senses and started chatting, and the atmosphere became lively. Just now, none of them dared to speak loudly.
Twenty minutes later, Ziyue came out carrying a baby wrapped in a small blanket. "Mother and baby are safe, but the mother should not move now and needs to be observed here for another two days."
The new mother's husband immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times to Ziyue, tears streaming down his face. "Thank you so much, thank you so much, really, thank you, thank you. You are my child and my wife's savior. Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you."
The man was incoherent, tears streaming down his face, seemingly at a loss for words, only able to express his gratitude repeatedly.
Ziyue quickly told someone to get up and handed the child to him. He carefully took the child and hurriedly asked, "Doctor, can I go in and see my wife now?"
"Yes, but there shouldn't be too many people. The new mother needs quiet to rest. You can go in by yourself, but be careful not to touch her, especially her abdominal wound," Ziyue instructed.
"Okay, okay, I remember, I remember, I promise I won't touch her." The husband kept promising, then carefully handed the child to the old woman beside him and went inside.
The old woman, the one with the sharper voice earlier, was now holding her child, looking embarrassed, and bowed to Ziyue.
"Thank you so much, young lady. You are a great benefactor to our family. I was so sorry for offending you earlier. I was just too anxious. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. My name is Zhao Qiuhua. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to us."
Several other family members also came over to express their gratitude.
"It's okay, I understand. Children shouldn't be exposed to the wind. Let's take him home quickly."
"Okay, okay, doctor, my daughter-in-law will need your help again. If she needs anything, just have my son Zhang Guodong let us know." After saying that, she thanked them again and again before the group took the child home!
The other villagers who had been watching saw that the family had already left, so they all said goodbye to Ziyue and went home to continue sleeping.
Although it took some time off from sleep, seeing the new educated youth doctor and the fact that Zhang's young wife and child were both safe and sound was a happy occasion.
Uncle Zhong's family quickly told Ziyue to go back and rest, and to call them if she needed anything.
After everyone had left, only the pregnant couple remained in the clinic.
Ziyue entered the ward and instructed the husband, Zhang Guodong, that if the mother woke up, she should not move around and should call her immediately if anything happened.
Also, new mothers should not eat or drink for six hours. After six hours, you can prepare a bowl of millet soup or a bowl of radish soup to help with gas expulsion.
Two days later, you can eat some semi-liquid foods such as noodles, noodle soup, wontons, and steamed egg custard. After a week, you can eat normal meals.
If the wound heals well in a few days, you can start taking supplements, such as light soups like black chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, or pork bone soup.
The husband listened very attentively and nodded repeatedly.
After giving her some instructions, Ziyue went back to her room to rest.
This is really exhausting, happening in the middle of the night.
Actually, given the substandard hygiene conditions of this small clinic and her current experience with Western medicine, performing such a surgery is still a bit risky.
However, she has the magic spring water, so saving the mother's life shouldn't be a problem. It can be considered that she used her magic touch!
However, she didn't use much of the spiritual spring water.
Using diluted spiritual spring water to keep the new mother alive only slightly speeds up the healing process; she will still need to rest properly for some time to come.
