Chapter 9: Caesarean Section

  "Ah!" Old Mrs. Liu couldn't help but exclaim: "Rong Jie has gone mad, she...she's not saving people, she's clearly killing them!"

  The old lady was also startled, but she tightly grasped the arm of the big madam, pulling her so that half of her terrified thoughts were dispersed.

  The second lady couldn't help but cover her face. It's all over, it's all over. If the relatives see such a corpse, they'll probably be ruined.

  No way, if it were the second wife who went, she would have sent Rong Jie directly to the official and pushed everything onto her head!

  No, no, it's not a push, she was doing a good deed from the start!

  Shi Yu's face changed, and this Rong sister was too reckless. If they continued like this, if by any chance they lost control... No, it was certain that they would lose control!

  What a pity! Such an intelligent girl was originally a good seedling for studying medicine. Alas, today she's probably going to be ruined!

  Liu Bo's heart was unhappy that his stepmother had given birth to a younger brother, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but close his eyes. This time, his stepmother probably wouldn't survive.

  Shangguan Chen furrowed his brow, although he had previously supported Liu Rong, but now he couldn't help but worry in his heart. Even if it was a normal person, going on like this would probably be the end of them, let alone a pregnant woman with a child in her belly.

  Liu Rong, however, was fully focused and had not originally intended to make a vertical incision from the lower abdomen up to the upper abdomen, as this method would affect a woman's chances of becoming pregnant again and increase the risk of rupture during a second pregnancy.

  But now it's too late for Er Nai Nai's situation to come horizontally, because only vertically can the least blood be shed and the child taken out the fastest.

  In such a situation now, without blood transfusion tools to supplement the blood in the pregnant woman's body, it must be done with minimal bleeding.

  Liu Rong took a deep breath, she had to hurry! Otherwise, the more blood was lost, the pregnant woman would not be able to hold on.

  The more anxious you are to hurry, the slower your hands move.

  She must be calm, she has to be calm, two lives are in her hands!

  Her knife, seemingly casual, slashed at Erniang's belly with a tightly controlled force, neither cutting too deep nor slashing too long. This was just a test slash to determine the thickness of Erniang's skin and flesh.

  After all, there is no instrument next to her that can take pictures of the surgical procedure. She wants a cesarean section and can only rely on her own experience and feelings.

  All it takes is one careless move and you could scratch a child, leaving scars at the very least, and in the worst case scenario, directly causing an infant to lose their life.

  Liu Rong wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Mother Chen, wipe the sweat for me, can't let the sweat flow to my eyes!"

  "Yes!" Chen's mother hurriedly went to get a towel for Liu Rong to wipe her sweat.

  Liu Rong stared unwaveringly at the spot she had scratched, it was too shallow, needed to be a bit deeper, her hand controlled the force, gradually increasing, the skin slowly opened up more, and the crimson flowing out also affected her judgment.

  It's still not enough, Liu Rong added a bit more force, the pregnant woman's body trembled slightly, and Liu Rong hurriedly stabilized the dagger, motionless: "Someone come and hold down the second madam, can't let her move around, or else the child might get hurt."

  At some point, the maids and servants had all withdrawn, leaving only Li Mama and Chen Mama to assist Liu Rong. The room was now occupied by Liu Dà Niáng, Tàifūrén, Dàfūrén, èrfūrén, Shǐ Yùyī, as well as Liu Bo and Shàngguān Chén, who were standing near the door, able to see into the room but not very clearly.

  "Didn't you hear what I said? Quickly help me hold down the second grandma!" Seeing no one coming forward, Liu Rong couldn't help but shout loudly.

  Shi Yu gently shook his head, stepped forward to help Liu Rong press down the second lady, such a dedicated medical skill, dedicated to saving people's good seedling, what a pity, this will be when he helped Rong sister for the first time, also the last time.

  The madam saw Dr. Shi come forward, thought for a moment, and instructed the second madam and Liu's wife: "You help the old lady out, lest she be frightened, and take the second young master and the crown prince with you, I'll stay here to help." As she spoke, the madam also came forward to help Lyu Rong hold down the second wife.

  With the help of the two, Liu Rong immediately continued. Finally, under the skin, a wrinkled and slightly red skin was exposed. A smile appeared on Liu Rong's face, this is the baby's body.

  Determine the position of the baby, Liu Rong took a deep breath and began to enlarge the vertical slit. The previous incision was not large enough and could not take out the baby yet.

  Before long, part of the baby's body was exposed, and only the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's body was also exposed.

  The baby's body was red and a bit frightening, Liu Rong was shocked in her heart, she didn't take the child out quickly, first using the scissors that were placed aside to cut the umbilical cord, then quickly took the child out and handed it over to Li Mama.

  "Spank the kid's butt and make him cry out loud!"

  Before long, a loud cry was heard, and the child's loud crying voice came out, making everyone in the delivery room breathe a sigh of relief. The gaze at Liu Rong was also filled with surprise.

  This is the first time in this world that someone has had a Caesarean section and the child has survived!

  Liu Rong, however, had just instructed Li Mama and was now intently staring at the needle and thread in her hand.

  Under everyone's astonished gaze, she threaded the needle with one breath.

  This is the second tough battle, with a surgical wound length, she at least needs to be stitched up for twenty stitches.

  In such a situation without surgical suturing needles and catgut, all of this was a test for Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong bit her lower lip tightly and began to insert the needle into Er Nainai's skin. The different sensations of the needle made it very difficult for her to sew the wound, but despite this, her hands didn't tremble in the slightest.

  This is the most basic quality of a medical staff, especially surgical staff, and will never harm patients in their hands due to their own instability.

  Madam Chen looked at Liu Rong's painful sutured skin, her mouth opened and closed again.

  "Otherwise, let Madam Chen help you stitch up the wound for Er Nai Nai!" The big madam couldn't bear to watch Liu Rong's needlework and finally spoke up.

  Liu Rong looked at the blood oozing out of the wound, then glanced at herself who had only sewn three stitches. At this rate, she wouldn't be able to save Er Nai Nai. Finally, she nodded towards Da Fu Ren: "Chen Mama, you come and sew up the wound, it needs to be fast and meticulous."

  Just as Old Lady Chen was about to take the needle and thread from her hand, Liu Rong furrowed her brow: "First go wash your hands with strong liquor, after washing your hands come back and replace Second Madam's stitches, otherwise the bacteria on your hands will infect Second Madam!"

  Mrs. Chen was slightly stunned, although she didn't know what Liu Rong said, she still nodded heavily and quickly walked to the basin of strong liquor to wash her hands, washing them three times before walking back in front of Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong sewed two more stitches at this moment, and then handed the needle and thread over to Chen Mama.

  It's no wonder that Chen Mama, an ancient woman who specialized in needlework, was able to handle the awkward thread with ease. Even on her first try, Chen Mama stitched up Second Madam's wound much faster than Liu Rong could.

  Liu Rong let out a slight sigh of relief, and her head suddenly felt dizzy, her body swayed, but was caught by a pair of large hands.

  Liu Rong looked up and saw Shi Yu, who had helped her earlier, maintaining a shocked and surprised expression as he stared at her, as if looking at something strange. He kept staring until Liu Rong felt uncomfortable all over, and she opened her mouth to say to him, "Shi Yu, can't you look at me like that?"

  Shi Yu's face was full of awkwardness, he was really too surprised, and probably the twists and turns of this life were not as many as today.

  A little girl gave birth by cesarean section, doing something that no one had ever succeeded in and would never succeed in, unexpectedly succeeded.

  He also came up with such an incredible wound suturing method, which is simply a genius in the medical field. Thinking of this, Shi Yu looked at Liu Rong as if he had seen a rare treasure and asked: "How did you think of using needle and thread to suture wounds? If this method is applied on the battlefield to those injured soldiers, I don't know how many border warriors can be saved."

  Liu Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. According to Shi Yu's words, there is currently no method of suturing wounds, but she inadvertently came up with an innovation, and it's unknown whether it will have any impact on this world.

  She's now exhausted to the point of near collapse, yet she still encounters such a curious baby: "Probably because I'm a woman, having seen so many needlework, I thought that if I can sew fabric, why can't I sew wounds?"

  Saying that, Liu Rong didn't want Shi Yu to continue asking her questions, so she casually asked Li Mama: "Li Mama, is the child a boy or a girl?"

  Mrs. Li carefully held the baby wrapped in a hundred-family cloth that had been prepared ahead of time, and when she heard Liu Rong's question, she was taken aback: "You delivered all these children, how could you not know whether they are boys or girls?"

  "I really didn't know." Liu Rong rubbed her nose, earlier she was too nervous and didn't even think to check if the child was a boy or girl.

  It's also good luck that Er Nai Nai's body is fine, so apart from the difficulty of the surgery, there were no other problems.

  The patient didn't have a massive hemorrhage, otherwise it would've been all over. Thinking about the conditions and tools used for the surgery made Liu Rong's back break out in cold sweat.

  "It's a son! After the second wife, I finally have someone to rely on!"

  Mrs. Li couldn't help but laugh, at this moment, Rong Jie looked like a real child for the first time, before that, whether it was trying to save Er Nainai or doing surgery for Er Nainai, she didn't look like a child at all.

  Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel heartache, and yet let such a child pay so much for the second wife and her children. What if Madam Wang holds onto what Rong Jie'er said before and wants to drive Rong Jie'er out of the house?

  Upon hearing Li's mother's response, Rong Jie also couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a boy; with this method of production, afterwards there would be no way to have more children.

  "It's all sewn up, Sister Rong. Come take a look, is this okay?" Chen Mama asked, showing it to Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong hurried over to take a look, the wound was stitched very neatly, much better than hers. She really didn't expect that this person who used surgical knives would be worse at stitching wounds with ordinary needles and threads than an embroiderer.

  "That's all, just be careful not to let the wound touch water or anything unclean. Whatever is put near the wound or touches it must be boiled in hot water and sun-dried before being given to Erniang. When you handle these things, your own hands must also be soaked in strong liquor before touching."

  Liu Rong instructed carefully, it's not over yet, the key is the healing time of the wound behind, if anything goes wrong, it could cost Er Nai Nai her life.

  "Ah, got it." Li's mom responded cheerfully.

  "Now that everything is ready, let's go out and tell everyone the good news. There are too many people in the house anyway." The big madam said with a smile to Liu Rong, who was smiling and watching from the side.
