Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Winter passes and spring comes.

The days of hibernation are not necessarily good, and the days of food shortage are even more difficult. Fortunately, the wild boar meat and dried wild vegetables that Zhou Leng hid helped the four people in his family survive the severe cold.

Spring returns to the earth and everything revives.

Although spring means Liu Wuqing's work will become harder, it also means that he will get more food this year.

The matter of the village hunter Chen being injured was ultimately left unresolved.

After a quarter of rest, Hunter Chen's arm had returned to normal, but without his tongue he could no longer express himself, and his personality became somewhat gloomy, as if he was a wild wolf lurking in the dark, ready to give Zhou Leng a fatal blow at any time.

The two men had met in the mountains before. Perhaps it was because Hunter Chen was lying in wait that they met. One of them was holding a kitchen knife and the other was holding a hunting rifle, looking like they were ready to go.

Hunter Chen made countless assumptions and mental preparations, but seeing the other party's fearless look back and dark eyes, he finally chose to turn around and leave. Deep in his heart, he was more inclined to ghost revenge, otherwise he could not explain the other party's excellent skills and the fierce and hateful eyes looking at him.

The rumors were slowly worn away during the idle days, leaving only the news that Wan Xin, who had undergone reform, had good medical skills.

It is rumored that hunter Chen's arm was finally cured thanks to Wan Xin's treatment. A good and cheap doctor is more valuable in this village than a hunter, which makes everyone happy.

Zhou Leng's daily life has changed from picking wild vegetables in the mountains to picking herbs in the mountains. She can take a simple look at the villagers' basic headaches, fevers, children's minor illnesses, and women's illnesses. As for serious illnesses, they really have to rely on luck.

Zhou Leng was preparing herbs in the yard. The yard was no longer what it was when they first arrived. The wall built by everyone in the yard with wooden stakes looked safer than the original dead branches. Various herbs were drying on the wooden racks on the west side of the yard. The two children also surrounded their mother, asking questions.

From afar, someone's heart-wrenching cry came: "Doctor Wan, this is terrible, please come with me quickly. Doctor Wan."

Zhou Leng frowned slightly, and she whispered, "Tingyan, go into the house and get mom's medicine box."

The two children ran into the house quickly, perhaps they also felt the nervousness and anxiety of the visitor.

A sweaty man ran out of the yard and shouted, "Doctor Wan, come with me to my house. My wife is having a difficult delivery. Come quickly. She's dying."

Liu Tingyan came out of the house holding a medicine box. He brought the medicine box to his mother without any hesitation. He had absolute trust in his mother.

After Zhou Leng took it, he said to him, "You and your sister can't leave the yard. Be smart. Mom will be back soon."

"Come on, mom."

Liu Tingfang agreed and raised his fist.

Zhou sneered and nodded, but she felt heavy inside. The environment here was simple, the conditions were limited, and the types of herbs were also limited. He should be sent to the clinic as soon as possible instead of coming to her. But she could understand the other party's poverty, and was afraid of the reality that she was powerless to change the situation. She was even more afraid of being sued and making the life that had just improved worse.

These were two lives. Although she had many concerns in her heart, she still took the initiative to follow. Even though she was quite indifferent to people, when it came to human lives, she still couldn't remain indifferent and watch them die.

An ordinary farmyard. From afar, many villagers can be seen gathered at the door. Some are walking around anxiously, while others are discussing in whispers.

"Doctor Wan is here." someone shouted from the crowd.

Zhou Leng was suddenly stared at by many pairs of eyes, some with contempt, some with hope. She quickly walked into the house to check on the woman.

In this era, it is rare for babies to be too big. After all, every household is in a state of hunger, with little food and many children, so naturally the income is not enough to make ends meet. However, this couple had been married for five years before they had such a child, and the man was the only child in the family. Now that they finally have a child, they naturally want to supplement it as much as possible, the more the better.

The result now is that the baby is too big to be delivered, the pregnant woman is almost out of strength, and the village midwives are helpless.

The people performing shaman dance in the yard were singing and shouting. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, her emotions were very well expressed.

Zhou Leng looked at the man's expectant eyes and said calmly and quickly:

"Your wife needs to be sent to a health center for an episiotomy. It needs to be done in a sterile environment. If I treat her, there is a high chance of infection. It is very risky and may even endanger her life."

An old woman behind the man asked:

"It will take a long time to go to the county clinic, and the child will suffocate to death. Doctor Wan, if you do it, will it not harm the child? It will just hurt my daughter-in-law a little. We farmers are very healthy, so just do it."

Zhou Leng frowned slightly and turned her gaze to another woman, who should be the mother of the woman in labor. She waited for her to protect the woman who was struggling desperately, but she said nothing.

The woman who was obviously the pregnant mother-in-law spoke again:

"Doctor Wan, please help our family. We don't have the money to go to the clinic. All the money we saved over the years went into her belly. Who would have thought that now, let alone a boy, we can't even have a girl. Our family has been a single-line family for three generations. We should have found someone with a prosperous family background to marry."

The mother of the pregnant woman retorted:

"Do you have any shame? If your family hadn't coveted our family's wealth, we would have wanted to find a live-in son-in-law. If I hadn't married into your family, my daughter might have had a daughter long ago. Now she's suffering like this."

Seeing that the two women were about to fight, the men in charge of the two families glared at their women, and the two women pouted and stopped talking.

The husband of the pregnant woman frowned. He said with difficulty, "Doctor Wan, please do it. If...if something happens, please keep it small, keep it small."

Zhou Leng sighed secretly, and she said quickly and loudly:

"Fellow villagers, I could have performed surgery before, but the environment here is too bad. In the future, if you encounter such a situation, it is best to send the person to the health center. You have just heard about their family's situation. Now I have no choice but to perform surgery to save people. If anything happens, the villagers will help me bear witness."

"Doctor Wan, don't worry. We know that if it weren't for you, there would be two dead. Please go quickly."

The surrounding villagers echoed.

Zhou Leng said quickly: "Boil some water, and don't disturb me."

After Zhou Leng entered the room, he took off his outer coat, took out a simple surgical gown that had been boiled in water and dried from the medicine box, put it on, and then began the operation in the simple environment.

Episiotomy is a surgical procedure to expand the birth canal. It cuts about 4 to 5 centimeters at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the perineum. This is a very difficult and major operation in this situation. Without anesthesia, the parturient bit the towel and sweated in pain. The village midwife tried her best to cooperate with Zhou Leng.

Half an hour later, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the room. People outside the room looked at each other excitedly, and the husband of the woman in labor pushed the door open to see the baby.

"Don't come in. Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't your wife's life important?" Zhou Leng cursed angrily.

Hearing the sound, the man stopped pushing the door.

After waiting for another half an hour, Zhou Leng took care of the mother and child before leaving.
