Wente said, "Nothing's wrong for now. Didn't you hear Chunhua's voice?"
If it weren't for Chunhua's occasional whimpers, Aqiang would have already rushed in. Even if he couldn't defeat Leite, he would have charged. Fortunately, Chunhua was still fine, and he could only endure for now.
Shuxin washed her hands and then moved the silver needles. Her master had taught her this, that it could help women in labor with pain.
"Push harder!"
"I see the baby's feet. Push harder!"
Shuyue heard that feet came out first and curiously looked back. With just one glance, she quickly averted her head. Ugh... her psychological resilience wasn't strong enough!
Shuxin noticed her reaction and frowned, "Yueyue, don't look."
Shuyue hummed in response.
The small, blood-stained feet emerged. Fortunately, both feet came out together. Shuxin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it would have been a real trouble if only one foot had come out!
This child was meant to live.
Shuxin grabbed the two small feet and, coordinating with Chunhua, gently pulled outwards. She couldn't pull hard, as the baby's arms hadn't come out yet. Pulling hard could potentially injure the baby's arms.
At this moment, Chunhua was in extreme pain. She could no longer distinguish between contractions and just felt pain, so much pain that she wished she could die immediately. She couldn't hold back any longer and cried out, "Ahhh!!!"
Her cry was sharper than before, like the last breath of someone dying!
This cry directly made Aqiang kneel down, and everyone else's hearts sank further!
But inside the tent, Chunhua felt something slide out from beneath her. Although she had exhausted all her strength, she knew she had given birth to the child!
She lay on the bed, panting weakly, and tilted her head to look at her child.
Shuxin had pulled the baby out when its arms emerged. The little female was bruised all over, a result of hypoxia in the birth canal.
She gently patted the bruised infant until all foreign objects were expelled from its mouth. A faint infant cry then emerged from the tent, growing louder and louder.
Hearing the baby's cry, everyone's hearts, which had been held in their throats, slowly relaxed, and they all smiled.
Only Aqiang knelt on the ground, weeping. No one could understand his feelings at this moment. The joy of a reunion was something no one understood better than him!
Leite and Wente, the brothers, also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been thinking about how they would convince the tribe if she had really been treated to death...
Fortunately, the outcome was a happy one for all.
...
Shuxin placed the infant next to Chunhua and slowly let out a breath. After all, the stamina of females here was much stronger than women in Huaxia. If it were an ordinary woman, she couldn't withstand such a ordeal!
The baby's vitality was also tenacious. If it were a baby from Huaxia, it would already be on an oxygen tank by now. However, this newborn little female was breathing with her mouth open, her bruised body starting to turn red and gradually recover.
She simply wiped her scissors clean, removed all the silver needles from Chunhua, and placed them back into the medical kit. After putting away the tablet, Shuyue could no longer hold back and ran out!
Running outside, she vomited profusely. It was over; she didn't dare to give birth anymore!
Wente was startled at first, then worriedly ran over, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"
The witch doctor saw this and said irritably, "I told you young females shouldn't go in to watch. When it's your turn, will you still dare to give birth?"
Shuyue had no time to speak now, wishing she could vomit out everything she had eaten tonight!
Inside the tent, as Shuxin finished packing everything and was about to leave, Chunhua on the bed said sincerely, "Leite's female, thank you. Thank you for saving us."
Shuxin shook her head lightly, "It was your perseverance and refusal to give up that allowed you to give birth to the child safely. If you hadn't persisted, I wouldn't have been able to do anything."
Chunhua's eyes welled up with tears upon hearing this. All the pain vanished the moment she saw her child.
"Shuxin, I am very grateful to you." She was truly thankful.
Shuxin smiled slightly and turned, carrying her backpack, and went out.
Leite saw her come out and asked caringly, "Xin'er, are you tired? Are you okay?"
She shook her head at the beastman and said to the still stunned Aqiang, "Your female used too much vital energy and strength during childbirth. You need to nourish her well for the next few days. Make her drink plenty of fish soup, meat soup, and bone broth."
"Okay!" Aqiang responded dazedly, his face showing a hint of embarrassment and shame. They had truly saved his Chunhua and child, and he had almost resorted to force against them. Alas...
After instructing Aqiang, she then said to the witch doctor, "I apologize, Witch Doctor. I was rude before, but the situation was critical, so please understand. Chunhua and her daughter are safe. I don't know about the subsequent matters and need you to help with the aftermath."
The witch doctor: "..." What did she take her for! An assistant?
Yiyi's expression was also not good. Her mother held a noble status; when did it become her turn to direct things?
However, the other party couldn't care less about their expressions. Shuxin had already come to Shuyue, who was still vomiting her guts out, and was pressing her acupoints to relieve the nausea.
"I told you not to watch, and look at you..."
Shuyue's eyes were red from vomiting, and she said aggrievedly, "Sister, you were right. I don't dare to give birth anymore. I'm scared!"
Shuxin chuckled and shook her head, "What are you afraid of? With me here, you can give birth however you want."
It had to be said that this sentence was like a stabilizing needle, calming her fearful heart.
Wente silently rubbed her back. He was also scared...
He was afraid Yueyue would scream like Chunhua. He couldn't wait outside like Aqiang. No matter who blocked the doorway, he would rush in and stay by Yueyue's side.
Thinking of Yueyue's childbirth in the future, Wente's face began to turn pale. How could he make Yueyue not feel pain!
The beastman became more and more scared as he thought about it.
Seeing that Shuyue had finished vomiting, Shuxin said, "They are fine now. We should go."
Leite and Wente were eager to leave. They turned and said to Balun, "Father, we won't be attending the tribal meeting today. Xin'er is tired, and Yueyue is also quite shaken. We'll be leaving first."
"Alright, go back and let them rest well," Balun waved his hand with complex emotions. He really wanted to ask about the bright light, but it was indeed inconvenient at the moment, so he could only ask another day.
When the witch doctor came out after handling the aftermath, they had already left.
The witch doctor looked at Balun and said meaningfully, "Clan Leader, Leite's female..."
Balun shook his head, "We'll talk privately. Is Chunhua alright?"
The witch doctor said, "Chunhua is fine. Leite's female does have some skills. Being able to save a female in difficult labor and her child is too important for us beastmen!"
Every year, children and females died from difficult labor in the tribe. One could imagine how important the abilities of Leite's female were to a tribe!
Balun naturally understood and thought to himself, his son had truly found a treasure this time!
