This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 344 Young Master Hua Delivers a Baby

It was midday.

The dock not far away was quite lively.

Several large boats that seemed to have just returned from fishing were moored at the dock, unloading their full holds of fish.

The residents were preparing to buy fresh fish and shrimp, while the children ran off laughing to watch the excitement.

Luo Zijun followed behind Wang Qiangzhuang and a dark-skinned middle-aged man, turning into a narrow alley that could only accommodate two people side by side.

The middle-aged man's name was Haisheng, and he was a sailor.

The woman who had a difficult childbirth was his friend's wife.

He was talking to Wang Qiangzhuang at the entrance of the inn when his friend rushed past. Upon seeing him, he told him about his wife's difficult labor and bleeding, and asked him to help find a midwife or doctor.

Thus, the scene of the playboy volunteering himself came about.

"Your friend..."

When he saw Luo Zijun, the middle-aged man named Haisheng looked surprised and suspicious.

However, he seemed to remember how formidable Captain Wang was, so he didn't ask any more questions and hurriedly led the two to his friend's house.

The two walked through the narrow alley and came to a house at the corner.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a series of shrill cries and other noises coming from the backyard.

Hai Sheng's expression changed, and he hurriedly led the two to the backyard.

In a courtyard in the backyard, many people stood wiping away tears, and the sound of a woman wailing came from inside the house.

Haisheng rushed over to ask what had happened.

A woman, seemingly recognizing him, wiped away her tears and said, "Shitou's wife just died in childbirth, and the baby didn't come out either. Two lives lost..."

Hai Sheng's face turned deathly pale.

The wailing from inside the house was like sharp needles, piercing the hearts of everyone in the courtyard.

"Poor Stone, he just got married last year..."

"His wife is so pitiful. She lost her parents when she was two years old and was raised by her uncle and aunt. She's been well-behaved and obedient since she was little..."

"Yes, I finally found a good family and got pregnant. I thought life would be good from now on, but who knew... sigh..."

Hai Sheng was saddened by what he heard. He turned around, preparing to lead Wang Qiang and the other man away, but unexpectedly, the young master behind Wang Qiang suddenly said, "Can I go in and take a look?"

Wang Qiangzhuang also turned his head and looked at him.

Hai Sheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then said in a choked voice, "Young Master Hua, the person has already passed away..."

"Stopping breathing doesn't mean you're dead."

Luo Zijun interrupted him, saying, "I've encountered many mothers who stopped breathing during childbirth. It's just a brief moment of suffocation during the pain of difficult labor; it doesn't necessarily mean they're dead. If they receive timely help, they can still come back to life. I don't know what's going on inside. Perhaps they've really stopped breathing, or perhaps it's just temporary, so I want to go in and take a look."

Hearing this, Hai Sheng hesitated for a moment, glanced at the room again, and then decisively said, "Young Master Hua, please!"

After saying that, he went inside first.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to follow, Wang Qiangzhuang suddenly grabbed him, his face serious, as if he wanted to say something. But upon hearing the mournful weeping from inside the house, he swallowed his words and said, "Go in."

The two went inside together.

The windows in the room were closed, and an oil lamp was lit. A woman was weeping by the bedside, with an old man and a young man standing beside her, all with faces full of grief.

Near the foot of the bed stood a midwife with blood-stained hands, tears streaming down her face, her expression one of deep remorse.

A woman lay motionless on the bed, her eyes closed.

She was swollen with belly, her lower body was stained red with blood, she was covered in sweat, and her face was pale.

"Stone……"

Haisheng walked up to the young man and said, forcing a smile, "I brought a... young doctor with me. Let him take a look."

The young man raised his head blankly, glanced at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "The person is already dead. Thank you...! What are you doing?"

He suddenly opened his eyes wide!

The others in the room were also startled.

After entering the room, Luo Zijun did not delay. She immediately went to the bedside, reached out and pressed her hand on the woman's chest to check her heartbeat.

This scene not only startled everyone else, but also surprised Wang Qiangzhuang.

"Stop! You..."

The woman by the bed shouted angrily and was about to rush forward to stop her, but Luo Zijun pushed her away and looked at Wang Qiangzhuang, saying, "She still has a heartbeat, just a weak one. She's not dead, but if we don't wake her up in time, she won't be able to be saved. Captain, come here, I'll teach you how to give her artificial respiration."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback.

The woman was pushed to the ground and was about to pounce on him again when she stopped in her tracks.

"Artificial respiration?"

Wang Qiangzhuang paused for a moment, then immediately walked over.

Luo Zijun bent down, pried open the woman's mouth, took a closer look, and immediately understood what was going on. She quickly helped her up, patted her back a few times, and said, "Captain, come here quickly, mouth to mouth, suck the phlegm out of her throat!" Wang Qiangqiang's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to delay and immediately went over to suck the phlegm out mouth to mouth.

"Some internal force can be used."

Luo Zijun reminded her.

Wang Qiang took a deep breath and, sure enough, sucked out a large mouthful of phlegm, which he quickly spat out onto the ground before continuing to suck.

After taking two more breaths, Luo Zijun noticed that the woman's chest began to rise and fall slightly.

He quickly laid the woman flat and said, "Captain, give her CPR! I'll go get the baby out!"

After saying that, he quickly taught her the tricks of artificial respiration.

As Wang Qiangqiang began pinching his nose and blowing air into the woman's mouth, Luo Zijun had already reached the foot of the bed and spread the woman's legs apart.

The others in the room changed their expressions again when they saw this.

The midwife quickly said, "Young man, you... ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Luo Zijun pushed her to the ground.

The others exchanged glances and were about to stop her when Luo Zijun suddenly shouted, "Two people, one on each side, forcefully spread her legs apart!"

While the group was still in a daze, they suddenly heard a gasp.

The exclamation actually came from Wang Qiangzhuang.

Because at this moment, the woman who was supposed to be "dead" on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and was breathing rapidly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the sight, both surprised and delighted.

"Quick! Help!"

The woman hurriedly got up from the ground and took the initiative to grab the woman's leg.

At this moment, no one doubted the young master before them anymore.

The young man quickly went over and grabbed the other leg.

Luo Zijun's hands were covered in blood as she tentatively probed the awakened woman, saying, "Push harder!"

Once the woman regained consciousness, she immediately began to endure the pain and continue to exert herself.

It turned out the baby was breech and stuck there.

When Luo Zijun accompanied her master to deliver babies, she encountered this situation several times. Each time, her master was able to turn danger into safety, successfully rescue the child, and even teach her the techniques.

Luo Zijun was extremely nervous at this moment, encouraging the woman while gently applying force.

"what--"

A moment later, the woman suddenly opened her mouth wide, let out a painful scream, and gave birth to the child while her whole body trembled.

"Scissors!"

Luo Zijun immediately grabbed the scissors and cut the umbilical cord from the child's stomach.

The child in my arms was covered in mucus and blood, his eyes were closed, he was motionless and made no sound.

The room suddenly fell silent.

All that could be heard was the woman's heavy breathing on the bed.

The midwife beside her sighed and said, "The child is probably... thankfully, the mother is alright, there will be other opportunities..."

The woman on the bed suddenly burst into tears.

The woman was also in tears.

Luo Zijun didn't speak. She used her fingers to pry open the child's mouth, scooped out all the mucus, and then let him lie on her arm while gently patting his back with her other hand.

"cough……"

The child suddenly coughed softly, spitting out a mouthful of saliva, and then suddenly opened his mouth and cried out.

The sound of crying was like heavenly music, like a sudden surprise from the heavens, instantly dispelling the oppressive and sorrowful atmosphere in the room.

"Ah! The child is alive! The child is alive!"

The woman rushed over excitedly, wanting to hug the child, but hesitated. She jumped and shouted in place, her face full of joyful tears.

The woman on the bed was also crying tears of joy.

The others were also very excited and at a loss for what to do.

The midwife stood by, speechless, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Wang Qiangzhuang's eyes were also red-rimmed, but a smile appeared on his face.

Luo Zijun carefully held the crying child, and after making sure he was alright, she gently placed him beside his mother, then lightly flicked him under his legs and smiled, "It's a son, and he looks very healthy."

The baby stopped crying immediately after being placed next to its mother.

The woman on the bed looked at him with tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with a maternal love that was unique in the world.
