Chapter 2305 Inquiry into Abnormalities
Zhao Yong slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Liu Shi on the bed. He walked forward with unsteady steps, each step feeling like he was walking on cotton.
His lips trembled, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word, and looking at Liu, his eyes instantly reddened.
When Zhao's mother saw that Liu was not moving, she immediately burst into tears.
"My dear daughter-in-law, how could you leave us like this! You've left us, the old and the young, all behind. How are we supposed to live?"
You just gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and haven't even had a proper look at him yet, how can you be so heartless..."
Yan Ruyu frowned even more as she looked at the chaotic scene before her, unable to bear it any longer.
She interrupted coldly, "She's not dead. She's lying here perfectly fine, just a little weak."
The crying stopped abruptly, Zhao's mother's sobs caught in her throat.
Zhao Yong also looked at Yan Ruyu with teary eyes, his gaze hopeful as if he had grasped at the last straw.
The midwife pointed at Yan Ruyu: "You girl, why are you still being so stubborn? What kind of time is this to be saying such things!"
Liu is in such a state, her chest is barely rising and falling, and you still say she's not dead?
"I've lived most of my life, delivered babies for decades, and I've never seen a difficult childbirth with so much blood loss, yet both mother and child survive!"
Before the midwife could finish speaking, Liu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly stirred slightly.
Her eyelashes fluttered, she slowly opened her eyes, and her lips moved slightly, uttering a barely audible, faint sound.
"The child... let me see the child..."
Zhao Yong rushed to the bedside: "Honey, are you alright? How are you feeling? The baby's fine, it's a son!"
Zhao's mother, wiping away her tears, hurried over: "I stewed an old hen for you, it's still in the pot, I'll go get it right away!"
The midwife took a step back in shock, muttering incredulously, "How is this possible..."
Yan Ruyu said calmly, "I told you, she's just a little weak, she's not going to die."
She fainted just now due to insufficient blood and energy after the surgery.
The midwife still refused to believe it, stepped forward, lifted the thin blanket covering Liu, and stared intently at Liu's abdomen.
She immediately covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror!
Liu's abdomen was wrapped in gauze, but it was still visible that there was a wound, indicating that it had been cut open.
The midwife looked at Yan Ruyu as if she were a ghost: "You... how did you deliver her baby? Could it be..."
Zhao Yong also saw it, and his face turned pale instantly.
Yan Ruyu didn't offer much explanation: "No matter how the delivery was done, both mother and child are safe. As long as you apply the medicine carefully and do as I say, the wound won't harm your body."
Zhao Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu nodded as well.
The midwife stood there, looking at Yan Ruyu, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
She has delivered babies for decades and has witnessed countless births, from natural births to difficult ones, from births where the mother and child are saved. She has seen it all, but she has never seen a delivery method like this, where an incision is made in a woman's abdomen and both mother and child survive safely.
This is no ordinary medical skill; it's practically divine intervention.
After a moment of stunned silence, the midwife suddenly bent her knees and knelt down directly in front of Yan Ruyu.
Her face was full of pleading and reverence: "Immortal Master, please have mercy and teach me the method of delivering a baby!"
There are only two villages around here, and childbirth is already difficult for women; dystocia happen every year. If we could learn your method, I don't know how many mothers and children's lives could be saved. This old woman kowtows to you in gratitude!
The midwife was about to bend down and kowtow when Yan Ruyu supported her arm.
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "Old man, get up, there's no need for that."
The midwife was helped to her feet, but she still refused to give up, her eyes remaining determined: "Master, please teach me! This old woman will remember it well and will never use it carelessly, only when it is necessary to save a life!"
Yan Ruyu gently shook her head: "The method you saw is not an ordinary delivery method. It can save lives, but it also requires many essential things, none of which can be missing."
These are things that ordinary people simply cannot find. Even if I taught you the method today, you wouldn't be able to use it without the corresponding items. Teaching it to you is simply unrealistic.
Upon hearing this, the midwife's hope gradually faded.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Yan Ruyu added, "However, I have some good medicines here that are specifically for treating women's blood and qi deficiency after childbirth, and can also help with bleeding during childbirth."
There are also several practical massage techniques for childbirth that can relieve the pain of uterine contractions in mothers and help correct the baby's position if it shifts slightly.
These are all practical tools, and I can teach them all to you.
The midwife's eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded hurriedly, "Okay! Thank you, Master!"
Yan Ruyu took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and then took out several packets of medicine powder wrapped in paper, and handed them to the midwife, explaining the usage and dosage of each medicine.
Then he taught her massage techniques step by step, from kneading her waist to gently pushing her lower abdomen, explaining the strength and angle of each movement in detail.
The midwife studied diligently, memorizing and reciting as she went, afraid of missing even the slightest detail. She followed Yan Ruyu's movements with her fingers, mimicking them again and again, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
After teaching the technique, the midwife bowed and thanked Yan Ruyu repeatedly. Yan Ruyu gestured for her not to be so polite, and the midwife left with tears in her eyes.
Yan Ruyu took out a packet of fruit tea and handed it to Zhao's mother.
"Grandpa, here is a packet of fruit tea. Take it and boil it in water for 15 minutes. Give it to Liu to drink. It can replenish her qi and blood and also boost her spirits."
Zhao's mother quickly accepted the tea bag with both hands and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you so much, doctor! I'll go brew it right away!"
Before long, a faint fruity aroma wafted out, and she carried it into the house.
Zhao Yong quickly and carefully helped Liu Shi sit up, and Zhao's mother held a bowl and fed Liu Shi spoonful by spoonful.
Not long after drinking it, Liu's originally pale face regained some color, her eyes brightened, and her voice was no longer as weak as before.
She touched the gauze on her abdomen and whispered her thanks to Yan Ruyu: "Thank you so much for saving my life, doctor. My child and I will never forget your kindness."
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly: "Your baby is much larger than a typical full-term fetus, and the baby is also in a skewed position. This kind of situation would not occur in a normal pregnancy."
Think carefully, during your pregnancy, was anything different? Or did you eat anything unusual?
Upon hearing this, Liu frowned slightly and shook her head after a long while: "My pregnancy was relatively stable, and I didn't encounter anything special. I ate mostly home-cooked food and didn't eat anything else."
Zhao's mother, standing to the side, looked guilty, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), took Liu's hand, and choked back tears of self-reproach: "It's all Mother's fault, it's all Mother's fault..."
When I found out you were pregnant, I was always worried that you wouldn't eat well and that the baby in your belly would suffer, so I tried to make you delicious food every day.
I only wanted the baby to grow strong and healthy so that it could be born safely. Who knew the baby would grow so big and be misaligned, almost costing you and the baby your lives? I'm so regretful..."
