Escape after crossing

"The pregnant woman is in a very bad condition right now, and the baby in her belly is even worse. If you insist on going to see a doctor, not only will you be late, but you may also end up with two dead."

"What should we do now? You don't have any solution?" the village chief asked first.

"I do have a solution, but it's very risky and I'm worried you won't be able to accept it."

"What method? Tell me quickly." asked Old Li.

"Cesarean section to remove the child."

As soon as Jiang Ziluo finished speaking, everyone who heard it couldn't help but gasp. They all knew what Jiang Ziluo's words meant.

The man who had just been squatting at the wall said directly, "No, then my wife will die. No, no..." As he spoke, he shook his head.

"Village chief, don't believe this little girl. She is killing people, not saving them..."

"Yes, village chief, you can't believe her."

"Village chief, tie her up and send her to the authorities. She is a murderer."

"Tie it up, tie it up, tie it up..."

The scene became very chaotic, with people accusing Jiang Ziluo. But Jiang Ziluo was not affected by them, and calmly explained: "If we delay any longer, the lives of adults and children will be in danger."

"But the method you mentioned is different in that it can't save the adults' lives, right? What's the difference?" A villager retorted, with a hint of anger and confusion in his tone.

His voice caused a commotion in the crowd, and others echoed him, expressing their doubts about Jiang Ziluo.

Jiang Ziluo was not intimidated by their momentum. She calmly explained, "Of course there is a difference. If we perform a caesarean section now, both the adult and the child have a certain chance of survival. Although the risk still exists, there is at least a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, we can only sit and wait for death, watching one corpse and two lives."

Her eyes were firm and sincere, as if she wanted to see through everyone's eyes and let them understand her determination and kindness.

However, villagers remain hesitant, fearing that such a risky move may bring greater danger.

"But...what if it fails? Then we won't even be able to save the child?" another villager whispered.

Jiang Ziluo took a deep breath and tried to make his voice more steady: "I know everyone is worried, but we can't give up trying because we are afraid of failure. If we don't take action, the consequences may be more serious. Believe me, I will do my best to ensure the success of the operation."

At this time, the old village chief stood up and asked Jiang Ziluo seriously, "Can both of them survive?"

"I will do my best to keep both adults and children alive, but I don't want anyone to disturb me." Jiang Ziluo said firmly to the old village chief.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, young lady." Seeing that the old village chief actually believed the words of a child, everyone wanted to persuade him, but the old village chief's seriousness, coupled with the coldness and murderous aura that Leng Chenming deliberately exuded, made the whole atmosphere very depressing.

Jiang Ziluo asked everyone to prepare hot water, clean cloth strips and scissors. Before entering the house, she also told Leng Chenming not to let anyone in.

Leng Chenming nodded without hesitation, and then stood firmly at the door, like an indestructible mountain, guarding everything inside the house.

After Jiang Ziluo stepped into the room, she first washed her hands carefully and completed a thorough disinfection. Then she took out a complete set of professional surgical tools from the space. Then she found a headlamp and put it on. After making all these preparations, she took a deep breath and concentrated on the tense and exciting operation.

The people outside the door were extremely anxious. They prayed silently, hoping for a miracle. Time passed slowly in anxiety and expectation, and every minute and every second seemed so long. Finally, a clear and loud baby cry came from the room.

"It's born! It's born!" People were so excited that they couldn't help but cheer. The village chief also breathed a sigh of relief, his face filled with a happy and relieved smile.

However, Jiang Ziluo did not relax at all. She skillfully picked up a piece of ordinary cloth and simply wrapped the newborn. Then she continued to clean the wound for the mother and carefully performed the delicate suture work.

At this moment, there is no instrument that can assist Jiang Ziluo to monitor the vital signs of the mother in real time.

Faced with this difficult situation, she could only rely on her years of practical experience and superb professional skills to complete the suturing work quickly against the clock.

After a long and intense effort, the hideous wounds on the woman's body were finally properly treated.

Jiang Ziluo dragged his extremely exhausted body slowly out of the room and announced to everyone that the mother was in urgent need of adequate rest and recuperation, but was no longer in danger of life.

Upon hearing the good news, everyone at the scene couldn't help but cheer excitedly. They were filled with endless gratitude towards Jiang Ziluo.

The old village chief held Jiang Ziluo's hands tightly and thanked him repeatedly. Jiang Ziluo just smiled and shook his head and said, "No need to thank me. This is my responsibility and obligation as a doctor."

After a short rest and adjustment, Jiang Ziluo once again carefully instructed everyone in the Li family on how to carefully take care of women who had undergone caesarean section, and listed many precautions that required special attention.

Before leaving, she repeatedly emphasized these key points to ensure that everything went smoothly.

After spending most of the day, Jiang Ziluo and Leng Chenming finally got on the ox cart and slowly drove towards the town.

At this time, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and it was almost noon. The village chief originally sincerely hoped to keep Jiang Ziluo and his friends, but Leng Chenming and Jiang Ziluo both politely declined.

They knew that time was running out and dared not delay any longer. Every minute and every second seemed particularly precious, as if they were racing against fate.

With a firm goal in mind, they were determined to get to the town as soon as possible. Along the way, Leng Chenming asked the village chief's son, Daniu, about the bamboo forest agency.

It's not that Leng Chenming forgot to ask, but he was worried that if he told the village chief rashly, he would be wary and unwilling to tell him. Maybe he could find out by asking now.

"Daniu, do you know who set up the mechanism in the bamboo forest?"

Normally, if anyone asked, Daniu would not tell anyone, because he remembered his father's advice. But today, he saw with his own eyes that they saved the people of their village without asking for any reward.

Everyone in the village treated them as benefactors, so Daniu no longer insisted on his father's advice.

"My two benefactors, you may not know that the formation is from our village and has been passed down through the generations. According to my father, only the clan leader knows how to open and repair the formation."

"Clan leader? Not the same person as the village chief?" Jiang Ziluo asked.

"Well, no. Our Daoxiang Village was first inhabited by the ancestors of the Li family, who brought their clansmen here. Later, people of other surnames gradually came here, until here. The clan leader is only the clan leader, and the village chief is the village chief.

Our current clan leader and village chief are both my father. When the next clan leader is elected, if the village chief is not the clan leader, then he will not know this secret."
