The old employer gave all the workers a half-day holiday. As one of the foremans, Xu Liu was very happy. He hurried to the door of the canteen, ready to collect his salted fish and rewards and go home.

Another foreman saw Xu Liu's anxious look and said with a smile: "Xiao Liuzi, why are you so anxious? Your wife is about to give birth?"

Xu Liu's wife has been pregnant for ten months, and the due date will be in the next few days. In fact, Xu Liu can take leave and not come, but the temptation of eating three meals a day is too great. It happened that this morning Xu Liu saw that his wife Wang was not moving, so Xu Liu felt relieved.

Come out to work and make money.

Xu Liu glared at the foreman and cursed: "Little bastard, are you the one who calls me Little Liuzi? Why don't you call me Uncle Sixth?"

Shangbaisha Village has a small population and everyone is basically a relative. Although the foreman is older, he is Xu Liu’s nephew according to his seniority. Hearing Xu Liu scold him, the foreman was not angry and asked: "Uncle Liu

, isn’t Aunt Six full term? Are you so brave, aren’t you afraid that Aunt Six will give birth at home?”

Xu Liu sighed when he mentioned his wife. He had been married to Mrs. Xu Wang for more than ten years. The girl gave birth to two sons, but not a single son. This made the whole village say behind her back that Mrs. Xu was a chicken that couldn't lay eggs, which made Xu Liu

I am also very depressed. This time Xu Wang is pregnant for the third time. In order for his wife to give birth to a son, Xu Liu has spent a lot of money. In order to supplement his wife's nutrition, he went to the sea to fish during the Chinese New Year a few days ago.

"There's nothing I can do. My parents are old. If I don't work, how can I feed the two losers in the family?"

Xu Liu is talking about two daughters, the eldest of whom is already twelve years old. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, she will be considered an adult in two years and can get married.

A worker next to him smiled and said: "Xiao Liuzi, your eldest daughter is already twelve years old. How about she become a child bride for my son and give you two coins?"

Although Xu Liu's family was poor, he was very kind to his daughter and would never let his daughter get married early and go to her husband's family to suffer. So when he saw what the worker said, he angrily cursed: "Fu Shijiu, your son is already twenty, and he is still a child."

You fool, you still want to find my girl, just keep dreaming!"

The workers were jostling here and lined up in two rows to receive food and reward money. However, after waiting for half an hour, the owner's wife did not come out to release the money.

Xu Liu looked ahead and happened to see a village woman from the same village in front. Xu Liu asked: "Third sister-in-law, isn't my boss's wife here?"

The village woman was so busy that she hit the back of her head with her feet and said without raising her head: "No, please wait for a while!"

After speaking, the village woman raised her head and found that the person who had just spoken was Xu Liu, and quickly shouted: "Xu Liu, why are you still here? Your eldest daughter came to see you just now. Your wife Wang is in labor. My boss's wife is going to go to you."

I went home to help your wife give birth to the baby!"

When Xu Liu heard this, he didn't care about receiving any reward and ran home.

Xu Liu's home is in the center of the village, not far from the construction site. Within ten minutes, Xu Liu ran back home. When he entered the yard, he happened to see his father, Xu Tou, the elder of Shangbaisha Village.

The three generations of the Xu family have passed down a single story. When Xu Liu married his wife, he specially hired a matchmaker. He married into the family just because he was in good health and would have a good child. Who knew that the Wang family was really good at having children and gave birth to two losers in a row?

As a result, the Xu family and his son had no status in the village.

Old Xu Tou saw his son Xu Liu coming back and cursed: "You bastard, what kind of job are you going to do when your wife is about to give birth?"

Xu Liu didn't dare to talk back to his father, so he quickly helped old Xu sit down, and then asked: "Dad, please don't get so angry. How is Wang?"

Mentioning the daughter-in-law who couldn't lay eggs, Old Xutou sighed and said, "My boss's wife came just now. I heard it was a difficult childbirth!"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Liuzhen was like a thunderbolt. The Ming Dynasty was different from that of later generations. Even if medicine was developed in later generations, there was no guarantee that a woman would be 100% fine when she gave birth, let alone the previous generations.

The average life expectancy of people in ancient China was only thirty years. In addition to the continuous wars and the fact that ordinary people simply did not have enough to eat, the high mortality rate of infants and mothers was also an important reason.

Shangbaisha Village has a total population of more than 130, but there are only five underage children. This high mortality rate is really a hindrance.

When Xu Liu heard what his father said, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground. A few years ago, a mother in the village, Ms. Zhang, had one child and two dead due to dystocia. The tragedy at that time was still vivid in her mind.

When Xu Liu's two daughters heard that their mother was going to die, they were so frightened that they cried bitterly. The crying in the yard alarmed Sun Jing in the house. She walked out of the house and shouted: "Why are you crying? She is not dead yet! Xu Liu, go ahead."

Find some steady village women to prepare hot water, and go to my house to find Zhao Jing and ask her to bring the medical kit!"

Sun Jing has been providing free medical treatment to the villagers in Shangbaisha Village for the past half month. With the help of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual, he has also treated several difficult and complicated diseases, so he has won the title of Medical Fairy. Seeing what his boss's wife said, Xu Liu knew that his wife

If there was still hope, he quickly arranged for his eldest daughter to boil hot water. At the same time, he rushed to the Zhao Mansion to ask Sun Jing's goddaughter Zhao Jing to come over.

Zhao Jing was busy helping distribute food and reward money at this time. Xu Liu ran over panting and said: "Girl, my boss asked you to bring the medical bag!"

When Zhao Jing heard that his godmother was looking for him, he quickly went back to the house and picked up the medical kit, which was the emergency first-aid kit that came with the commercial vehicle. In addition to simple medicines, the most important thing in it was the two pairs of disposable latex gloves.

Zhao Jing rushed to Xu Liu's home and walked into the house to see Sun Jing looking solemnly at the mother Wang on the bed.

After receiving preliminary training from Sun Jing, Zhao Jing knew some medical knowledge. Seeing this scene, she asked: "Mom, how is the patient?"

Sun Jing took off Wang's pants and said: "The situation is not good. Now the mother's amniotic water has broken, but the baby's position is not correct. It needs to be returned to the right position first! Zhao Jing, hold down the mother, and I will reverse it."

just!"

Zhao Jing followed her godmother's instructions and stepped forward to hold Wang's hands. Sun Jing reached out and touched the mother's belly and said, "This is bad. The baby's position is horizontal. This is difficult to handle!"

While rubbing the mother's belly, Sun Jing said: "Zhao Jing, remember, there are several types of abnormal baby positions, breech position, occipital position and transverse position. The occipital position is divided into occipito-posterior position and shoulder position, but

The most dangerous one among them is the horizontal position!"

Sun Jing became more motivated to be a teacher, and while using the inversion technique, she actually explained to Zhao Jing how to deliver a baby and various problems encountered during delivery.

It is true that Sun Jing is a doctor, but she is a pediatrician. Although she cannot say that she knows nothing about obstetrics, she is basically as familiar as a mountain. What I just said was what Sun Jing saw in the manual. Now Sun Jing is also very nervous.

After all, this was her first time delivering a baby, so while explaining the process to Sun Jing, it also relieved her own tension.

Inversion surgery is the only way to prevent abnormal baby posture, but this treatment needs to be used when pregnant women are seven months old. Now that Wang is about to give birth, it is really too late. In addition, Sun Jing herself is a two-handed swordsman.

The baby has never been delivered before. At this time, the mother's amniotic fluid has broken. Using inversion surgery will speed up the delivery of the baby.

Under Sun Jing's vigorous rubbing, the baby soon stretched out an arm from the birth canal, and Ms. Wang screamed in fright: "Madam, she's born! She's born!"

Xu Liu outside the door heard his wife shouting that she was pregnant, and thought she was really pregnant. He rushed into the house and saw Mrs. Wang lying on the bed full of blood, with her legs spread apart and a baby's arm sticking out of her body.

. Xu Liu, a grown man, had never seen such a battle before. He screamed in fright and sat on the ground.

Sun Jing was also sweating profusely at this time. When she saw Xu Liu coming in, she cursed: "Xu Liu, what are you doing here? Where is the mother-in-law you asked to find? Does she still have hot water?"

Xu Liu was so frightened by the scene in the room that he could not speak. He crawled out tremblingly. After calming down, he quickly went to find someone according to Sun Jing's instructions.

When Sun Jing saw the children coming out, she calmed down and thought about how to solve this problem recorded in the book.

However, the Barefoot Doctor's manual does not mention how to solve the problem of dystocia. It only says that in case of transverse dystocia, caesarean section is the only solution. There is no other solution.

Sun Jing calmed down and said to Mrs. Wang: "This lady, I can only protect one person now. Do you want to protect yourself or your child?"

When Mrs. Wang heard what Sun Jing said, she knew in her heart that she would die today. In order to leave a heir for her husband, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "My wife, protect the child! I must leave a heir for the Xu family!"

Seeing Wang's resolute look, Sun Jing thought that when she gave birth to Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng was lying in the back position. If she had a normal delivery, she would never have been born. Thinking of what she had suffered at that time, Sun Jing decided to take a gamble, Sir.

All kids want it!

Sun Jing asked Zhao Jing to hold Wang down first, and then walked out of the house. At this time, Xu Liu had found two women who were setting fire to boil water in the yard. Xu Liu saw Sun Jing coming out covered in blood, and quickly stepped forward and asked: "My boss

Madam, how is my aunt?"

Sun Jing explained the situation and then asked: "Xu Liu, your wife is in a transverse position. If she does not have a caesarean section in this position, she will die. Now I want to perform an operation on her. Do you agree?"

Xu Liu didn't know what a caesarean section was. Hearing that his wife was saved, he quickly said: "My wife, please save my wife and child!"

Hearing what Xu Liu said, Sun Jing nodded and said: "I am a doctor. It is my bounden duty to treat illnesses and save people. I will try my best to save both adults and children!"

Only then did Xu Liu understand the meaning of what his wife said just now. Xu Liu was about to hesitate and wanted to save the child, but Sun Jing had already turned around and went in.

Sun Jing returned to the house and said to Zhao Jing: "Go out and get a basin of warm water!"

Zhao Jing went out to fetch warm water as instructed. After Sun Jing washed his hands, he opened the first aid kit that Zhao Jing brought, and various first aid items appeared in front of him.
