Chapter 260 Chun Tao
She exclaimed in surprise, then looked around at Qiao Bin and me and said with a smile, "You're finally back! Let me see whose good little baby this is."
I smiled at her, asked her to play with Qiao Bin for a while, and took her basket to go to the kitchen to cook.
While eating, I asked her if she knew whether Wang Shiba and the others had returned.
She puffed her lips and said, "He's back! He came to see me a few days ago and asked if you had sent a message back. I told him that you had brought the child to this area."
I nodded. "It's good that he knows. Otherwise, I don't know how to send a letter to him if he goes out. Let's just wait for him to come. By the way, how is Seventeen doing recently?"
Xiao Wei replied, "From what I saw, he seemed to... have a conflict with Sixth Brother? They had a fight at Boss Xuan's place in Huichun Hall before, and for some reason, he and Sixth Brother didn't come out together anymore. It was always him and the gangster, or he came out alone. Other than that, there didn't seem to be anything else."
I remembered that before I went to Xiyan City, he came to buy sweet water for Xiaoliu, but he probably didn't coax her well.
Xiao Wei came closer to me and said, "By the way, didn't Boss Xuan come on the day you set out? He questioned me thoroughly! If you hadn't told me the background information you had prepared in advance, I wouldn't have been able to make it up on the spot! Fortunately, Xiao Hui and I always listened to your stories, so we still have some ability to remember them..."
She herself didn't notice anything when she mentioned Xiao Hui, and was stunned only after she finished speaking.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. She stood up immediately to hide her feelings and ran to the window to look out. She turned back and waved to me: "Come and see, what are those people carrying?"
I walked to the window and saw Xuan leading a dozen people carrying shoulder poles with jars of wine hanging on the left and right.
They are going to Huichuntang to apologize.
"They went to apologize. Didn't Anian beat Chuanzi, Mazi and Laomu that day?" I said to Xiaowei.
Xiao Wei stuck out her tongue: "Boss Xuan is usually very gentle and refined, but his sister is so fierce! She doesn't have the dignified appearance of a princess."
I remembered how she always stroked my hair when we were at Wushen Mountain, and I shuddered: "She... just try not to provoke her."
I had some money in my hands, no longer had to worry about food and clothing, and I had to take care of my children, so I didn't want to open the shop anymore. But unfortunately, there were still regular customers who always came to drink tea and chat. In order not to disappoint them, I still insisted on opening the shop every day.
That day, Aunt Gao was happily drinking sweetened water and teasing little Qiaobin in my shop when a woman came running in panic. She looked inside and shouted to her, "Aunt Gao! Chuntao's water suddenly broke and she went into labor prematurely. Her father went to find a midwife, but she went to another town to deliver the baby. You should go back and take a look! Her father and her husband don't understand!"
Aunt Gao hurriedly paid the bill with shaking hands and said to her, "I'll go right back! Can you ask your son to run a trip for me and find Xiaoliu from Huichun Hall to take a look!"
When I heard about this, I said hello to Xiaowei and asked her to look after the store, and I accompanied Aunt Gao to the butcher's house.
Chuntao screamed miserably, which made her father and Mazi so anxious that they were running around and sweating all over their heads and faces.
Aunt Gao went into the inner room and took a look. She came out and pulled them aside and muttered, "I see...something is wrong. How come the child's head is not outside? Why do I see feet?"
Ma Zi was so scared when she heard this that she started to cry: "What should I do?! I have never given birth, so I don't know! Go find Brother Liu!"
I went forward to comfort him: "We have sent someone to invite him. He will be here soon. Don't worry."
Aunt Gao pulled me aside and said, "I feel like you're going to have a difficult birth... When you gave birth to your Qiao Bin, was your head also coming out first?"
I, I haven't given birth either, so I don't know! But I have seen the drama, Chuntao's fetus is in an abnormal position, and if it takes too long to give birth, she will easily suffer from hemorrhage and exhaustion, and the baby may also be at risk of suffocation.
I could only nod: "I can't remember clearly, it seems like... wait for Sixth Brother to come and see if he has any solution."
As he was speaking, Wen Xiaoliu came running over hurriedly, carrying a medical kit on his back, followed by Chuanzi.
Aunt Gao rushed over and said, "Is Xiaoliu here? Come and help look after Chuntao!"
I quickly made way for them and told them, "Sixth brother, Chuanzi, Chuntao seems to be in an abnormal fetal position, with her feet facing outwards."
When Xiaoliu heard this, his face turned serious and he said to Mazi, "Come with me."
Ma Zi cried and said, "Sixth brother, I, I can't do it! My hands are shaking so badly."
Chuanzi also said at the right time: "Sixth brother, I, I also... Besides, she is Mazi brother's woman..."
Xiaoliu said helplessly: "None of them are useful! If Seventeen hadn't gone to the mountains to collect herbs--"
I immediately volunteered: "Let me help you."
Xiaoliu glanced at me and nodded: "Okay, Aunt Gao will also go in and help."
I quickly took the things from Chuanzi's hand and walked in with them.
Chuntao, who had been crying out loudly and softly just now, now had a pale face, was sweating profusely, and was moaning. She was breathing in less and out more.
Xiaoliu bent down and saw that Chuntao was bleeding profusely, and the blood had soaked the mattress beneath her.
Chun Tao said with trembling lips: "Sixth brother... I'm afraid I can't do it... You, please take good care of Ma Zi and the child for me."
Xiao Liu took a breath and comforted him, "Don't think too much, it's okay, I'll straighten it for you, it might hurt, just bear with it for now."
After saying that, Xiaoliu stretched out his hand to me: "White cloth, wine, and scissors."
I took out the wine from her medical box and gave it to her first. She opened it and got her hands wet. Then I handed her the scissors and white cloth.
She spread the white cloth under Chuntao. Aunt Gao didn't dare to look at her anymore. She closed her eyes and muttered something silently.
Xiaoliu reached out his hand, grabbed the fetus's feet and turned them slightly. Chuntao let out a heart-wrenching scream, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Aunt Gao was so scared that she ran out quickly, and said to Gao the butcher as she ran: "Brother, why don't you... go and get ready, this is too dangerous."
Seeing that Chuntao was unconscious, Xiaoliu took the opportunity to go forward and start cutting.
Blood gushed out, and I wiped it again and again with a cloth. Suddenly Xiaoliu frowned, felt her pulse and said, "Not good! I'm afraid she can't hold on."
I saw Chuntao's face was pale, and I remembered Xiaoliu's blood that could bring the dead back to life. I found a needle and handed it to her, saying, "Punch her with it. Let her hold on. It will be fine after we take the baby out in a while."
Xiaoliu was stunned, took the needle and looked at me silently.
I stood up and said, "Sixth Brother, let me bring in another basin of water."
After saying that, I picked up the basin of water and left her some alone space.
After I got the water and comforted the girl who had stopped me to ask questions, Chuntao's face had regained its rosy complexion, and she closed her eyes and breathed heavily, as if she was asleep.
I saw a piece of white cloth wrapped around Xiaoliu's fingers, and I knew that she had pierced her finger and used her blood to save Chuntao, so I shouted outside, "Aunt Gao, come and give me a hand! Chuntao can be saved!"
