14. Chapter 14 Delivery
Suddenly there was a shout outside and an emergency stop was made.
Guo Qi, who was sleeping fragrantly and having sweet dreams, almost fell out of the carriage, but fortunately Pinying caught her quickly.
"Damn it, do you know how to drive? What kind of skills!" Guo Qi was not fully awake yet, thinking that in a modern car, her driver was driving and training people with her eyes closed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, miss." The coachman's trembling apology made Guo Qi wake up from her daze. When she opened her eyes, she found that the carriage was parked in a forest. She was supported by Pinying and held in her arms. She hurriedly stepped away, embarrassed.
Already.
"It's okay. Be careful next time. It's easy to get into trouble if you stop suddenly like this. Is there something wrong?" Guo Qi pushed her hair, straightened her clothes, and asked the driver pretending to be fine.
"Yes, miss, I am the neighbor next door to Lao Li's family. His wife is going to give birth. I'm here to tell him and ask him to go home quickly." The curtain of the car had been lifted up secretly, and I saw a man with a big head next to the driver.
The burly man rushed to answer for Lao Li.
"Well, then Lao Li, you go back quickly! Let's get out of the carriage and walk back by ourselves." Guo Qi quickly got off the carriage. Of course she had to let him go if there was something urgent. After running for so long, he should be there soon.
"Shadow, give him twenty taels of silver." It seems that I forgot to bring some silver with me. I must bring some with me next time. In ancient times, there were no ATMs everywhere like in modern times.
"Too many, Miss." Lao Li is an honest man. When he heard that he was given twenty taels of silver, his eyes widened. You must know that for people like them, twenty taels of silver is enough for a family for half a year.
"Take it, hurry up." Is twenty taels a lot? I still haven't figured out the ratio between ancient silver and modern money. It seems that there is really a lot to learn.
"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss," Lao Li kept saying thanks.
"Miss, if you don't mind, come to my house for a cup of tea and rest first. It's still a long way from the city. I'll have someone take you back in a while." Lao Li thought for a moment. He is so generous, so it's really not okay for him to leave someone halfway.
should.
If you continue to wait so long for "Okay", the mother will not be able to wait any longer.
The carriage galloped through the woods and soon stopped at the door of a small farmhouse. Before it even got close to the house, a shocking cry of pain was heard coming from the house, and the woman inside screamed like she was dying.
The listeners were trembling all over. Lao Li kept walking back and forth at the door, sweating profusely.
"This woman is really pitiful when she gives birth to a child. No matter whether it is modern or ancient times, but with the advanced technology of modern times, women suffer relatively less. In ancient times, how many women died due to dystocia!"
Lao Li's neighbor brought some stools and set up a table. Guo Qi and the others sat stiffly in the courtyard. Their scalps were numb when the women in the house screamed in pain. They couldn't bear it. They screamed too much.
It's terrible.
"Old Li, the baby cannot be born because the fetal position is incorrect?" The door was suddenly opened, and the midwife's fearful and trembling voice came out.
"I...I" Lao Li was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"You can only save one child for adults. Please decide to keep the baby older and younger? Otherwise, it will be difficult to save the baby," the midwife urged.
"Bao Da" Lao Li said with difficulty.
"Wait, can I go in and have a look?" It turned out to be a difficult delivery, so Guo Qi hurried over and called the midwife.
"Miss, it's better not to go in when a woman is giving birth to a baby." The midwife thought she was joining in the fun and looked at Guo Qi with an unkind tone.
"Miss" Pinying also came over and tugged on Guo Qi's sleeves. When someone gave birth to a baby, why would my own lady join in the fun?
