Chapter 457 Difficult Childbirth
There was a midwife nearby. Seeing Fang Nanzhi and her child walk in without a care in the world, she was stunned for a moment, thinking it was the woman's eldest daughter. "What are you doing in such a hurry, little girl? You opened the curtain and didn't even know to close it. What if your mother lets outsiders see it?"
As he said this, he hurriedly pulled the curtain.
"Hurry up and go. The delivery room is unlucky and not a place for a little kid like you to play around."
"She is not my mother, I am here to save her!" Fang Nanzhi said, opening the medicine box beside him and taking out the silver needle.
The midwife was startled and angry: "Don't mess around, this is not the place for you to mess around!"
As he said this, he prepared to step forward and grab the needle.
Doctor Li's breathless voice suddenly came from outside the curtain: "Quick, first pierce Guanyuan, then Dadun, Hegu..."
The midwife was stunned for a moment, and Fang Nanzhi had already started acupuncture. The silver needles were steadily inserted into the three Guanyuan acupoints below the pregnant woman's navel, which could restore yang and rescue the patient.
The next few acupoints were next to the toenails, all of which were used to stop bleeding. Doctor Li said that the acupoints could be inserted very quickly, so Fang Nanzhi inserted the needles with both hands.
Outside, the old woman kept asking what happened and whether it was a grandson.
Doctor Li frowned when he heard this, and took advantage of the moment to say to the man without even looking up, "Don't just stand there. Take the medicine bag and boil the medicine with your mother first."
"Boil over high heat until three bowls become one bowl, then boil again. Be careful not to burn it."
Jishidiang prepares a batch of herbal medicine bags every month for emergency treatment, including heavy bleeding in pregnant women. They are all specially formulated and extremely effective.
Inside, Fang Nanzhi also said, "Wipe the blood off her body and bring a new basin of water."
The midwife was at a loss, but when she heard her calm words, she subconsciously did as she was told.
On the bed, the pregnant woman was barely breathing. Only when she learned someone was trying to save her did she regain some energy: "W-Will I still be alive? I'm so cold."
Fang Nanzhi, who was giving acupuncture, didn't know whether he could survive or not, but she was determined.
"With me and Doctor Li here, you can survive."
The pregnant woman didn't quite believe it at first, but after hearing this, she felt a little relieved, but she still had more doubts: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. I'm very good at acupuncture. Over the years, no one who has received acupuncture from me has died!"
Fang Nanzhi felt that every word he said was true.
She'd only just learned acupuncture, and she'd treated less than ten people, and all of them were still alive and well! Isn't that amazing?
The pregnant woman pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly and said nothing more.
She lived a lonely and miserable childhood, was hungry, cold and always beaten. It was her husband who protected her and ensured she had enough food to eat. She loved her husband and was willing to live in a small house with him, but her mother-in-law always urged her to have a son in private.
After much difficulty in getting pregnant, she was unable to give birth and suffered from abdominal pain before her death. Even if she survived by chance, she would be blamed by her mother-in-law for not giving birth to a son.
She has been lonely all her life and doesn't want to stay here anymore.
This little girl is good at talking. I wonder if her child will be as smart and cute as this girl?
Unfortunately, she was afraid that she would never see the unborn child.
Seeing that there seemed to be a sense of relief on her face, Fang Nanzhi frowned. The master once said that when treating a disease, one should not be afraid of the difficulty, but should be afraid of the patient having no will to live!
If this is the case, even gods cannot save you!
What was the reason? Fang Nanzhi suddenly had an idea. Was it because the mother-in-law had been shouting for a son, was she afraid that she couldn't give birth?
At this time, the midwife said happily: "Less! There is really less blood!"
Fang Nanzhi responded, casually saying, "Well, I'll stop the bleeding soon and continue the delivery."
The pregnant woman slowly opened her eyes: "Can I still give birth?"
Fang Nanzhi said confidently: "Yes."
At this time, the man hurried over with medicine, opened the curtain and handed it in: "Medicine, medicine is here!"
Seeing the pale face of the woman on the bed and the basins of water stained with blood, his eyes instantly turned red: "Little Doctor, what's the situation? Is there any hope?"
Fang Nanzhi's amber eyes looked directly at the man: "If the situation is critical, do you want to save the older child or the younger one? If you save the older one, she won't be able to give birth."
The man said without hesitation: "Of course it's Mr. Bao!"
His wife doesn't mind his family's poverty. She manages the household and takes care of his mother. He should cherish such a wife. As for the child... at worst he can pick one up and raise one in the future.
But he still hesitated: "But, is my child really hopeless?"
Fang Nanzhi simply withdrew the needle and took the medicine bowl: "The patient's mood cannot fluctuate too much. You go out, I will feed him."
Outside, when the mother-in-law heard this, she was so anxious that she wanted to lift the curtain and come in: "Protect the little one, protect the little one!"
The man was also angry and pulled the man into the yard: "It's already this hour, and you are still saying these words..."
Fang Nanzhi went to see the pregnant woman again. She shed a tear and laughed while crying.
"Please, little doctor, feed me the medicine."
The medicine was just out and was boiling hot. She blew on it spoonful by spoonful before putting it into the pregnant woman's mouth.
The time spent during this period can be regarded as rest. After drinking a bowl of medicine, the pregnant woman finally gained some strength and the bleeding stopped completely.
Fang Nanzhi fed her a piece of candy and asked her to eat it and swallow it.
Then she took a deep breath and held the silver needle in her hand: "Okay, should I start inducing labor?"
The midwife and the pregnant woman both responded.
The silver needle in his hand fell, and within a moment, the pregnant woman felt unbearable abdominal pain and cried out in pain.
Afraid that she would bite her tongue, the midwife immediately stuffed a towel into her mouth and said, "Take a deep breath and push down hard, just like taking a shit. Don't scream!"
Fang Nanzhi didn't know much about midwifery, but after thinking about it, she stepped forward to help in whatever way she could.
"Don't hold your breath, right! Take a deep breath!"
"Exhale..."
Outside, the fiery red sunset gradually sank to the west, the sky had turned a little dark, and three or two stars were twinkling in the night sky.
More than four hours later, the first cry was finally heard in the courtyard.
The pregnant woman had completely lost her strength and fell into a coma.
Fang Nanzhi took the patient's pulse and confirmed that there was no serious problem, just exhaustion, and then he felt relieved.
Then he quickly took out a medicine to replenish Qi and blood from his medicine box. Just then, his mother-in-law came running in. Perhaps because of what her son had said, she only whispered, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Fang Nanzhi just stuffed the medicine into her arms and said, "You boil it first. Boil the water over high heat, then simmer it down. Boil three bowls of water for one bowl."
Although the mother-in-law wanted to ask more, she thought of what her son said and stopped asking. She took the medicine and went to boil it quickly.
The son said that she was a good daughter-in-law, who did not mind the family's poverty and served her sincerely. They could have more children in the future. There were very few women who treated their sons as sincerely as she did.
She listens to her son.
Soon, the medicine was ready and the pregnant woman was given the medicine again, and she slowly woke up.
The heavy stone in Fang Nanzhi's heart fell, and a drop of sweat fell into her eyes. She was shocked to realize that she was already tired and sweating profusely, and her clothes were soaked with sweat.
Oh no, she has become a little stinky kid.
