The environment in the cave is too poor and not suitable for mothers to give birth.
Chunsheng picked up his wife and ran out of the stone house, and finally found an open space. Mrs. Lin stepped forward and touched her wife's belly. She found that the fetal position was even more shifted than before.
The person has lost the energy to be productive, he is sweating profusely, his face is blue, and his pupils are so dilated that only the whites of his eyes can be seen.
There was a large pool of blood underneath him, mixed with the strong smell of blood and spreading in the forest.
Mother Chunsheng was so anxious that she was spinning in circles, trying to keep her son away. It was unlucky for a man to be stained with the blood of a woman who gave birth to a child.
The son is as stubborn as a donkey, as if he is rooted to his wife's side, without raising his butt at all.
The villagers in the cave all escaped. When a few women came and took a look, they all looked sad, thinking that the mother was in danger.
Chun Sheng was so frightened that the temperature in his wife's palms was losing so fast. He held his wife's hand tightly and started rubbing it. His heart was so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out.
"Xing'er, Xing'er, hold on! Our child is already half born. Didn't you make her a little coat and embroidered a tiger head hat? Don't you want to see her put it on?"
Mrs. Lin's palms were all sweaty. She tried her best to be responsible for the patient, temporarily put aside her worries about her family, and inserted needles into several large points on Xing'er's head.
I don’t know whether it was her husband’s words that gave Xing’er hope, or whether Mrs. Lin’s injections had an effect. The semi-conscious mother faintly woke up, her mind cleared for a moment, but she still couldn’t exert any strength in her lower body.
Seeing the blood flowing more and more from the lower body, the women who couldn't bear to look at it had already left with red eyes.
Xiangyun entered the space early, rummaged through the medicine cabinet, and found a ginseng used for life. He was about to take it out of the space, but felt it was too conspicuous, so he pulled out a small piece and stuffed it into Chunsheng's wife's mouth.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lin specializes in gynecological diseases. When she was practicing medical consultation behind her master, she met a Wen woman who was particularly good at correcting pregnancy.
No matter what kind of fetal position, she can correct it in her hands.
Because Mrs. Lin cured her of a hidden disease that had troubled her for many years, Po Wen taught her the technique of correcting the fetal position as a thank you.
"A woman's legs go to hell after giving birth. Many young ladies have lost their lives because of childbirth. I hope that this skill of mine can be used in your hands to save more miserable women."
Recalling the techniques she learned back then, Mrs. Lin kept moving her hands.
Xing'er's painful cry sounded very sad, and everyone's hearts were lifted up. The young ladies who had never given birth turned pale with fright, and the women who had given birth felt the same and kept wiping tears.
Only men can't feel the pain, and some even feel unlucky, so they run away early, for fear that seeing a woman giving birth will bring bad luck.
Big beads of sweat slipped from Mrs. Lin's cheeks, and Xiangyun felt distressed and kept wiping her grandma with her sleeves.
Finally, Huangtian paid off and this time the fetus' head came out first.
Myolie, who was hanging on by ginseng, used her last bit of strength to shout, and then the baby cried "Wow...".
Everyone had a look of relief on their faces and cheered for God's blessing.
"Congratulations on the birth of Chun, and congratulations on Xing'er. Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
Chunsheng Niang happily stepped forward, took the child and took a look, and the smile on her face immediately stopped.
The villagers immediately understood that it was a girl.
Someone comforted them: "It's okay, it's just your first child, you'll just have another baby in the future. Chunsheng and Xing'er are young, and they will definitely allow you to have grandsons."
After hearing this, Chun Shengniang's face improved a little.
Xing'er was so tired that she couldn't speak, and she felt extremely wronged. She lost half her life to give birth to a daughter, and she was not treated well when she was born. No one would feel better.
Fortunately, her husband was always by her side and was as happy as a fool after taking over her daughter.
"My daughter looks like you, with handsome eyebrows and nose. Fortunately, she doesn't look like me, otherwise it would be terrible..."
"My skin is as dark as yours. When the Lin family's Bao was little, she was as fair as a tender lotus root with its skin removed. I wonder if our daughter can be like her in the future..."
The couple was extremely grateful to Mrs. Lin for saving her life. Even though Xing'er didn't understand pharmacology, she knew that the things she put into her mouth helped her stay alive when she was tired of giving birth.
With her shallow knowledge, she couldn't think of anything else besides ginseng, which was more expensive than gold.
The whole delivery process was carried out on the ground. Mrs. Lin knelt on the wet and muddy ground for most of the time. The pain in her knees was already unbearable.
Xiangyun supported her grandma distressedly, but her body was too small and she couldn't help her at all.
Mrs. Lin was worried about the injury on her granddaughter's palm, so she was reluctant to let her help her.
After finally standing up and looking around, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The young people in the village who had promised to take good care of the Lin family's women and children stood scattered around the cave.
The eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren were nowhere to be seen in the crowd.
The nerves in Mrs. Lin's temples were beating wildly, and a bad feeling swept through her body.
"Where is my eldest daughter-in-law? Where are my grandchildren?"
When the villagers heard this, they suddenly slapped their foreheads and hurriedly picked up the handy shovels and wooden sticks around them. Not sure if they really just remembered it or if they were pretending, they ran collectively towards the Lin family's stone house.
Old Mrs. Lin, who was left crying with tears running dry, collapsed on the ground again.
Leaving aside Mrs. Lin's side, when Zhang and Cao Ayao arrived looking for Tianci's voice, they found that he had already passed out, facing the mud.
Mrs. Zhang tremblingly picked up her son, her palms felt wet and hot. When she spread them out, she saw they were all covered in blood.
"God's gift! God's gift!"
The great fear made her lips and tongue dry, her tongue seemed to be stuck to the roof of her mouth, and she could not speak without trembling.
His eyes were frightened, and tears were struggling to fall from his eyes.
Fortunately, Tianci heard his mother's voice, opened his eyes slightly, pointed his finger in the direction where the criminal left, and spoke in a weak voice.
"Second aunt and others stole our food..."
Zhang's voice was trembling and unsteady: "I know, mother knows, I will take you to grandma to bandage the wound first..."
"No, chase the people first. They also stole A Bao's gold bracelet."
Tianci was dizzy, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, and he was still holding on to the hem of his mother's clothes.
My sister's gold bracelet is very important and cannot be stolen by thieves!
Cao Ayao: "Sister-in-law, you take the children back first, and I will chase them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man was already running towards the direction Tianci pointed just now.
At the foot of the mountain, seven or eight men driving an ox cart, in order not to attract attention, chose a road that was rarely used by people. Along the way, they happily hummed a little tune and thought about where to go for a cool meal.
A pair of gold bracelets circled around and landed in Zhao Ruoxia's hands.
"When we get to town, melt it and make me a pair of larger ones."
The man beside her bit the silver, glanced at her, snatched the gold bracelet and put it in the money bag.
"What kind of gold jewelry does the farmer bring? Just buy a pair of silver-plated ones. If you have the money, it's better to buy some good wine and food. Brothers, you have worked hard this time. When you get to a safe place, once the food is sold, you will benefit!"
The men shouted loudly: "Big brother is mighty! Big brother is awesome!"
But he didn't notice that a young man suddenly jumped out not far away, holding a wooden stick in front of everyone.
It was dark, the surroundings were quiet, and the shadows of the trees were swaying and whirling. At first glance, I thought there were a lot of people coming.
Taking a closer look, the opponent's facial features were straight and his limbs were slender. At first glance, he was not fighting material.
When Zhao Ruoxia saw that it was Cao Ayao, she wanted to cover her face with the hem of her clothes. Her eyes were darting around. After confirming that he was alone, she became bolder and stopped covering up.
The men escorting the bullock cart didn't even ask. They rushed forward, waving wooden sticks and hatchets, and hit important parts of the car.
Cao Ayao was born and raised in the countryside. Apart from his courage and sense of responsibility, he was no match for men.
After only a few attempts, he was pinned down and beaten, leaving only the strength to resist.
His back and legs were beaten severely with sticks several times. The gangsters didn't want to let him go. They laughed ferociously and slammed the hatchet on his head.
The boy who was beaten so hard that he couldn't stand was about to bleed on the spot.
