Escape after crossing

"Oh, I got it, Dad. Don't worry, I will be careful." Da Niu responded obediently, indicating that he would listen to his father.

Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming lowered their heads silently, only focusing on eating the steamed bread in their hands. The food this morning was pretty good, in addition to the steamed bread, there was also a bowl of rice porridge.

Strictly speaking, though, this can't be called porridge, since there are only a few grains of rice floating in the bowl.

Despite this, they still cherished every mouthful of porridge, feeling the warmth and satisfaction brought by the tiny grains of rice. In this difficult environment, having such a simple breakfast is already a blessing.

Just when a few people were halfway through their meal, suddenly, a few villagers ran towards the village chief in panic.

One of the women, who was about 45 years old, burst into tears as soon as she saw the village chief: "Village chief, please save my daughter-in-law quickly! Wuuwuwu..."

The village chief was shocked when he saw this, and asked quickly, "Don't worry, don't worry, what happened? Explain the situation first, don't just cry."

However, the woman seemed to have been frightened and lost her mind. She just kept crying and was completely unable to explain anything.

Seeing this, the other villagers following her hurried forward, and after they calmed down a little, they explained the whole story to the village chief.

It turned out that at midnight yesterday, Li Laogen's daughter-in-law showed signs of going into labor.

The family quickly invited an experienced woman from the village to help with the delivery, but unexpectedly, the woman was in constant pain, and the baby still had not been born smoothly until this moment.

Now seeing that the pregnant woman was about to run out of strength to give birth, the midwife was anxious and sweating profusely, but she had no idea what to do. She could only helplessly tell them to go find a doctor. She had never encountered such a situation before.

Li Laogen's wife came to the village chief anxiously, wanting the village chief's son, Daniu, to go out of the mountains to invite a doctor. However, as soon as she arrived, she said only one sentence and started crying.

After understanding the situation, the village chief frowned and said, "It will take at least half a day to get a doctor back and forth. By then, I'm afraid Zhuzi's wife won't be able to hold on. Daniu, quickly harness the ox cart, pull Zhuzi's wife on, and quickly go find a doctor. I hope we can still save her life."

At this moment, Jiang Ziluo stepped forward and said loudly: "Let me go and take a look. I am also a doctor. Maybe I can help."

In fact, Jiang Ziluo did not deliberately conceal her medical skills. She really only knew some gynecological knowledge, and she only knew a little about obstetrics and other fields.

When everyone heard Jiang Ziluo's words, they all looked at her, with surprise and expectation in their eyes, but more of doubt. They didn't believe that this little kid could be a doctor.

The village chief stood up and said to Daniu with a serious expression, "Daniu! Quickly harness the carriage and go to Zhuzi's house immediately. We have to go over and see what the situation is."

So, the group headed towards Li's house again. When they arrived at Li's house, they immediately felt a strange atmosphere in the air.

I saw a young man squatting at the foot of the wall, clutching his hair with both hands, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.

On the other side, an old man was holding a pipe, puffing on the tobacco leaves one after another, as if he wanted to relieve his inner tension through the smoke.

There was an old woman next to them, who kept sighing and muttering to herself.

"I have never encountered such a thing in all these years! Why can't this child be born? Oh...what should I do?"

The old woman's words were full of helplessness and worry, which moved people.

"What's going on with the Wang family now?" the village chief asked anxiously.

The midwife, Mrs. Wang, looked panicked and hurriedly replied, "Oh, village chief, I really have no idea what to do! A whole night has passed, but the baby won't be born!"

Jiang Ziluo knew very well that human life was at stake and she had to understand the pregnant woman's condition first. So she immediately said, "I'll go in and take a look first." After saying that, she prepared to step into the house.

However, seeing how young Jiang Ziluo was, the old lady Wang couldn't help but feel suspicious. She stopped her and asked, "What can a young kid like you, who is still wet behind the ears, see? Besides, the person lying in the room is a pregnant woman!"

Facing the doubts, Jiang Ziluo showed unusual calmness and determination. She explained in a calm tone: "Don't worry, although I am not proficient in delivering babies, I am a doctor after all. Please allow me to go in and check on the current physical condition of the adults."

At this moment, Li Laogen, who was puffing out smoke and surrounded by smoke, slowly raised his wrinkled head.

His eyes first fell on Jiang Ziluo, then he scanned the entire room, and finally stopped at his son, and slowly said:

"No! Absolutely not! There's a woman lying in there, how can we let a man in? If we do that, where will our Li family's reputation be in the future?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ziluo was so angry that he laughed out loud. Human life is at stake! At this critical moment, he is still entangled in this face issue! The person is already dead, what is the point of this illusory face?

"Old man, don't you understand? Two lives are at stake here! What is the most important thing?"

Jiang Ziluo asked sternly, but at the same time he did not forget to observe other people's reactions. The result was very disappointing, but then he thought, this problem exists even in modern times, not to mention in the feudal ancient times?

Leng Chenming wanted to speak, but Jiang Ziluo stopped him. Then Jiang Ziluo let his long hair that was tied on top of his head fall down, and everyone was even more surprised.

The village chief was also surprised, but he was the first to react. "Mrs. Wang, hurry up and take the people in to see what happened to Zhuzi's wife first."

Jiang Ziluo did not delay any longer, and walked into the room quickly, and tied up his hair again. The room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the pregnant woman's face was as pale as paper, and she looked very weak. Jiang Ziluo quickly checked the pregnant woman's condition and had a rough idea in his mind.

Li Laogen wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the village chief: "What are you doing? Stop messing around, just sit down and wait!"

"But...Village chief, you see, she is still a child, how can she see a doctor? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?" Li Laogen said anxiously.

"Why is it delayed? Didn't you see that the big ox hasn't harnessed the ox cart yet? What's wrong with letting the little girl go in and take a look during this gap? That's saving lives. Old man Li, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so confused?" The village chief replied angrily.

Since Jiang Ziluo stepped into the house, Leng Chenming has been paying close attention to everyone's words and actions in the house, fearing that these people would hurt Jiang Ziluo out of impatience.

Jiang Ziluo did not rush to draw conclusions, and asked the old woman a few more questions. After he had an idea, he walked out of the room and asked the people outside.
