The Village Doctress Chapter 117: Being despised
Lin Fufu’s medicine chest contains some muslin cloth boiled in boiling water, a few embroidery needles, a few thin ribbons, a pair of new small scissors, a bottle of shochu, and thin sheep gut threads. This was specially entrusted to Lao Liu to get it.
It’s amazing to say that catgut was around 1800 in the time and space of Lin Fufu’s previous life, but Beirong had already appeared, and the workmanship was only a little worse than ordinary catgut in modern times.
But these catguts are not used to suture human wounds, but to suture the large wounds of injured cattle and sheep on the Beirong prairie.
Later, Lin Fufu asked Lao Liu the reason. It turned out that the Beirong people thought it was made from the small intestines of animals, and anyone who used it for human beings was afraid of accidents...
Grandma Li ran away as soon as she saw Lin Fufu holding the small box that she usually used for medical treatment.
Lin Fufu got into Li Yi's carriage, and the carriage started to drive.
In the carriage, Li Yi stared curiously at the small maroon wooden box in her hand. Is this the medicine box she mentioned?
But he was shy by nature, so he was too embarrassed to ask.
Lin Gospel asked him seriously about the condition of his mother.
"Oh, that Grandma Wang gave birth at full term, and usually eats well, and she is tall, so her strength should not be a problem. It is said that the old midwife also said that the delivery will be smooth after seeing it... But I don’t know how it became like this.” Li Yi spread his hands to express helplessness.
Lin Fufu frowned. According to Li Yi, the condition of the mother was indeed good, but she had to go to the scene to see this.
However, it is reasonable to say that the old midwife should be very experienced after delivering so many children. Since she thinks that Grandma Wang can give birth smoothly, there should be no problem.
Besides, since it was Li Yi who came to pick her up, Dr. Li must have been invited to the house by that Wang Yuanwai. Since Dr. Li is here, there shouldn't be any serious problems.
Lin Fufu looked at Li Yi suspiciously, and asked directly: "It is reasonable for Dr. Li to sit at the house of Wang Yuan's wife? Now the mother is not bleeding heavily, it is reasonable for Dr. Li to be able to deal with it."
As soon as Li saw her asking this question, he touched his head in embarrassment, glanced at Lin Fufu and quickly lowered his head, "Miss Lin, my master is not good at gynecology, and he is a man, so..."
Lin Fufu understood immediately, and sighed inwardly, how many women have been killed by this damned feudal ethics!
"You don't need to say anything, I understand." Seeing that Li Yi wanted to explain, Lin Fufu waved his hand at him, "Let the carriage run faster, even if the mother is not bleeding, but the time is too long, baby If it has not yet been delivered, both mother and baby are in danger."
Li Yi nodded solemnly, which is why he rushed to pick up Gospel Lin.
Informed the coachman to speed up, the coachman of the Li family really drove the carriage into the air, Lin Fufu staggered for a while, only feeling dizzy.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Li saw Lin Fufu's little face turned pale, and looked at her worriedly and asked.
Lin Fufu gritted his teeth and shook his head.
Seeing Lin Fufu was really uncomfortable, so Li had to talk to her to divert her attention.
"Miss Lin, in fact, when my master first went to Wang Yuan's house to see Grandma Wang, he also offered to help look at the situation of the pregnant woman. Although my master is not good at gynecology, he knows a thing or two, plus The old midwife is here, so two of us are better than one, right? The ignorant and ignorant Young Master Wang scolded my master, saying that my master is old and disrespectful, and not worthy of being a doctor..."
After listening to Li Yi's complaint, Lin Fufu was also very helpless, and had to say that Dr. Li is really a respectable doctor.
If it wasn't for the mother and the child in her womb, who would try it even though she knew she was scolded?
"My master was so angry, I was there at the time, and I was so angry that I almost went up to beat that fool, but my master stopped me, saying it was for the sake of two lives, forget it. Hmph, If it wasn't for the sake of the lives of the one big and one small, I would have dragged Master away, no matter what!"
Lin Fufu smiled wryly, "Doctor Li and you both have the heart of parents."
"Hey!" Li Yizhong sighed heavily, looked at Lin Fufu and smiled wryly: "So, Master saw that the woman was getting weaker and weaker, so he thought of you, so let me pick you up Take a look. I'm doing my best, and it depends on whether the big ones are blessed or not!"
Lin Fufu is also dejected. The ancient women really stepped into the gate of **** when they gave birth, not to mention that the grandma of the Wang family still had a difficult labor...
The carriage drove all the way and soon arrived at Wang Yuanwai's house.
As soon as Li helped her out of the carriage, he dragged her in and rushed in, and the gatekeeper couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
Li Yi knew the way, and dragged Lin Fufu all the way to the door of the delivery room temporarily set up by Wang Yuan's family for the delivery of the eldest daughter-in-law.
Madam Wang Yuanwai is a white, fat, long-faced woman with a shrewd face, but at the moment she is also anxious outside the delivery room. Seeing Li Yi suddenly dragging a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl over, she can't help frowning head.
Because of Li Yi's status, she had to ask patiently, "Little Doctor Li, is this the female doctor that Doctor Li said is good at delivering babies?"
The little girl in front of her still looked calm, but her childish and immature face made her never believe that she was capable of delivering babies.
Besides, such a young girl can deliver babies... you won't be ashamed if you say it!
Unknowingly, Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Fufu with contempt in her eyes, "This girl, it's not that I don't believe you, a young girl from a family can understand about women giving birth?"
Lin Fufu saw her contemptuous eyes and a look of distrust on her face. He glanced at her lightly and said, "The cries in the delivery room are so weak that I can hardly hear them. If you delay and don't let me in, your Wang family will be afraid of killing you." A happy event has turned into a mourning event.”
Lin Fufu's reminder hit Mrs. Wang's mind hard. Her face changed, and a look of fear rose in her eyes. She turned to look at Li Yi, "Little Doctor Li, she really knows how to deliver babies." ?”
Li Yizhong nodded, and said anxiously and impatiently: "Mrs. Wang, quickly let Miss Lin in, Miss Lin is a family handicraft!"
The family handicraft dispelled Mrs. Wang's doubts, and immediately stepped aside. Lin Fufu didn't say hello to her, and went in with her medicine box.
The parturient woman inside is lying on the bed, her face has turned white wax, her eyes are closed, and a simple and elegant goose yellow forehead is tied on her head.
An old midwife who was around sixty and wearing a blue summer shirt also had a terrible face, and she just yelled in a low voice, "Grandma Wang, work hard..."
But Grandma Wang only hummed in pain intermittently, the sound was softer than a mosquito, and there was no other reaction at all...
