"Be prepared. Remember what I said. Don't be afraid. Your hands must be steady. Haven't you two dissected more than ten corpses? At the critical moment, I will ask someone to take the others away. Then you can do it. Do you understand? "
Wang Juan stood in front of a female doctor and a female doctor, instructing the two of them word by word. The female doctor appeared to be more mature, and her thirty years of age gave people a sense of security. The female doctor took deep breaths. This was the first time she was facing a challenge.
"I know, little girl. I will treat her as a dead person. Even if I have to bleed a lot, I will save the child." The female doctor looked calm. This was also the first time she faced such a situation. As long as there was a difficult birth, she and her assistant would use surgical methods to deal with it.
"Okay, take a bath, change clothes, spray alcohol for disinfection, and come in with me." Wang Juan waved her fist at Zhang Xiaobao, who was standing not far away, and took the two people into a nearby room to prepare.
There was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth. It was time to test the theory of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two people were also very nervous, not only because the experiment was related to their mother, but also because they respected other lives. They didn't want to fail this time.
In fact, the equipment for blood transfusion had been made. The needle was made by a craftsman and had been distilled and disinfected. The tube for infusion was made of a vine of a plant that they didn't know until now. It was not dangerous for animals to use it. At the same time, it could withstand a short time of distillation.
The observation tube was made of a fish float. After drying it and soaking it in alcohol, they could vaguely see the flow rate of the liquid inside. What they couldn't solve was the verification of blood type. It was really difficult for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to confirm this. The two people were very eager to find a way to find out the blood type of others, including their own.
When they couldn't confirm this problem, they didn't dare to take risks. For example, it was useless to ask their immediate relatives for blood transfusion. Children might not have the same blood type as their parents.
In this case, the two people made some physiological saline. The concentration might not be so good. They could only try to distill the salt as much as possible to extract purer salt. There were still impurities in it. Another preparation was to ask people to take a fast boat to Hainan Island to get coconuts. If possible, they would dig up the coconut trees. Even if the trees died on the way, the coconuts on them could last for a while.
The coconuts were not for eating, but for infusion. Although there were other impurities in them, most of them were glucose.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know how to make glucose, so they had to use this equally dangerous method to replenish the water needed by the human body. At least it was more useful than drinking water in the case of blood loss.
The room used as the delivery room had been disinfected over and over again. There were rows of candles and bronze mirrors inside. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were now studying how to put tin foil and mercury film on the transparent glass. The price of glass was high, and it couldn't be directly made into a flat plate. However, this was not a problem for the two of them. How expensive could it be? If there was no flat plate, they would cut it out with a large piece.
As long as the craftsmen made it, they would be paid 100 strings of coins. They would give any materials they wanted. No matter how much it cost, as long as the two people's business groups could afford it, they would get it. All of this was to make a glass mirror so that the delivery room would have a shadowless effect for their mother.
In order to not let people lack oxygen, the delivery room was built high and big. This way, it didn't matter if there were more candles. Otherwise, people would suffocate to death before waiting for the child to be born.
Wang Juan could be considered to have a close experience of the layout of the delivery room. When the three of them came in, the midwife was already prepared. The mother was waiting to deliver the child. The mother's husband also entered the delivery room under Zhang Zhong's notice and stayed by his wife's side.
Originally, this was absolutely not allowed, but Zhang Zhong's reputation was good. When he posted the notice, no one objected. To the people, the good official had not done anything wrong, and everything he did was for the sake of them.
The servant girls sent by the inner courtyard were all at the level of five stars. Each of them looked very capable. They were in charge of boiling water in another room and used copper basins to hold it. The door of the delivery room was not opened at all. Outside were the family members of the couple inside. This was the woman's first time giving birth, so the family members were more nervous. They sat on chairs specially prepared for them and stared at the door of the delivery room.
If her daughter-in-law had not been brought here, her mother-in-law would have personally come to help. But when she saw that her daughter-in-law was taken over by the good official's people, as a mother-in-law, she did not ask to stay by her side.
She and her mother-in-law had already seen the lineup set up by the good official. The place they casually saw was something that the two families could not afford even if they used up all their money. They could not afford those few hundred candles, not to mention that there were so many copper mirrors, gauze, and dazzling white cotton cloth. When the two families sighed that the good official's family was rich, they were even more grateful to the good official.
They did not know that this was an experiment that the young master and young lady of the good official's family had done for their mother. They only thought that the good official valued ordinary people like them. They also knew who those servant girls who were busy in the outer room were. The markings on their bodies already told them that these were the best servant girls in the good official's family. They did things steadily and flawlessly.
The young lady and the doctor also personally went over. With such importance, the two families felt a lot more at ease. To be able to let their grandchildren give birth in such a place was also a kind of honor for them.
If it were their own family, they would just take out the best things that they could usually give to their daughter-in-law and daughter. They could not compare with the arrangement of the good official at all. Comparing the two conditions, the difference was obvious.
As a result, not only the two families were waiting, but also the families of several other pregnant women who were about to give birth. They also wanted to see if their children could be born smoothly in such a situation.
Everyone knew that giving birth to a child for the first time was akin to wandering in front of the gates of hell. It was too common for an adult or a child to die. If seven out of ten such cases could be born, and both mother and child were safe, then it was God taking care of them.
They did not know that this probability was absolutely not allowed by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's requirement was that they could give birth to an average of one hundred children, and there could not be two cases of death. This probability was actually very low. If it were the two of them at that time, unless there was a special disease, it would be really difficult for them to die with the support of a lot of money.
The delivery room used some means of soundproofing. The sound outside could not be transmitted in, and the sound inside could not be transmitted out. Of course, if the sound was too loud, it could still be heard.
Zhang Xiaobao stood outside, next to the two families. He found a chair and sat there. At this time, there was nothing for him to do. He had already known the information in advance, including whether the pregnant woman's family members had any diseases before, the pregnant woman's health state, and so on.
As time went by, more and more people came to watch the show. Most of them were some old people and women in the family. The men were still working and did not have time to run around.
With more people, there were more people talking. If it were not for the soundproofing effect of the house, the noise outside would have been transmitted in. The old people had experienced many things. They were nothing more than chatting about some things, such as which neighbor's daughter-in-law did not make it, which child had an older brother or sister, and so on.
As they talked, they also sighed. After all, it had been so many years, and they had long lost the sadness of that time.
The women who did not have children yet knew the danger of giving birth. They were also nervous, as if they were also inside. The mother and child had died, the child had died, and the mother had died. They had heard too many things like this, so they could not help but be afraid. However, they had to go through this in their lives after all.
In fact, everyone was looking forward to it. They hoped that the place made by the good official could keep the mother and child safe. Some people had already silently muttered words of blessings.
Zhang Xiaobao heard them and did not stop them. This was the case in this era. Not only the common people, but also some medical doctors used some curses when treating patients. Zhang Xiaobao felt that this method also had a certain scientific reason.
Sometimes, whether a patient could be cured or not depended not only on medical methods, but also on the patient's psychological state. Many people felt that the pain had lessened after taking the medicine, before the medicine took effect. In fact, it was because of psychological reasons. The stronger the desire to survive, the more confidence they had, the greater the chance of survival.
The pregnant woman inside could not hear the blessings of others at all, but it did not matter. With a man by her side, the pregnant woman could feel safer and have greater confidence in the child that was about to be born.
They waited for two hours, but there was no news until now. Zhang Xiaobao began to feel anxious. He was afraid that there was something wrong with the thing that he and Wang Juan had designed. When they went in just now, they said that the amniotic fluid had broken. It had been two hours, and this was very exhausting for the pregnant woman's physical strength.
Not only Zhang Xiaobao was anxious, but the others were also anxious. Many people were sweating. The only difference was that Zhang Xiaobao's sitting posture and expression did not change. He was still the same as before.
After waiting for another half an hour, Zhang Xiaobao ordered a servant in the inner courtyard who was guarding next to him, "Go and call my mother. Send the fourth-rank noble dress to be disinfected first. Go and come back quickly."
"Yes, Young Master." The servant seemed to know that things were not going to be easy, so he ran away without saying another word.
Seeing the servant leave, Zhang Xiaobao still sat there calmly without a frown. Others would think that the young master of a good official was confident, but in fact, only Zhang Xiaobao knew that his heart was beating fast.
At this time, he was trying his best to control the speed of his heartbeat. He was using his breathing and psychological suggestions to stabilize his heartbeat. This situation should not happen to him, so he had to maintain his stability at all times.
In this aspect, he admired the aerospace personnel of those countries the most. They clearly knew that there was danger, and they clearly knew the consequences of failure and the glory if they succeeded, but when they checked their bodies before boarding the spaceship, the data that their bodies showed was no different from normal. How strong did their mental fortitude need to be to do this?
Zhang Xiaobao knew that he still needed to train. Some ace test pilots were like this. When they clearly knew that the spaceship was in an accident, from their tone and operation, there was no fluctuation at all. He did not know how they trained. Even some of the special forces instructors he met abroad did not learn this kind of thing.
Perhaps Wang Juan had some understanding of this. After all, she also knew how to fly planes and tanks. She even learned how to operate warships and submarines. Although the time she learned was relatively short, and she did not learn it in the military academy, the women's special operations team, or the Special Second Division, she still learned it. After all, her family was not ordinary. They casually used their connections to get their children to experience it as a form of entertainment.
After this matter was over, he would have to ask Wang Juan more. His ability was only to self-hypnotize himself to avoid the lie detector.
When Zhang Xiaobao adjusted his heartbeat by changing his mind, the people around him who knew who he was also calmed down. After all, his expression and posture were too calm, making people who saw him unconsciously filled with confidence in him.
"Xiao Bao, what happened?" It did not take long for the Jang Wong Clan to come over. Logically speaking, the Jang Wong Clan should not be so obvious at this time, but her belly was really not small.
Others did not know, but the Zhang family knew that the Jang Wong Clan was pregnant with twins this time. The most amazing thing was that Wang Juan's mother was also pregnant with twins. It was also because of this that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan set up this experimental delivery room.
It was not that there were no twins here, but the probability of them surviving was too low, less than one in ten. Zhang Xiaobao did not want anything to happen to any of his family members. Therefore, Wang Juan tried her best to read all kinds of books to correspond with her own ideas. If she wanted to make a real disinfectant, it would be best to find a way to measure blood type.
Seeing the wife of a good official come, the people consciously made way for her. They had no choice but to do so. The Zhang family's guards formed a protective circle around the Jang Wong Clan. Everyone became a target of suspicion in their eyes.
This was also arranged by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They did not allow anything to happen to their family members due to negligence. According to Wang Juan's words, if the family members were hurt, it would be an insult to the Second Special Branch and a blasphemy to Xiao Bao's intelligence.
How could the Jang Wong Clan refuse the arrangement of her son and daughter-in-law? When she arrived, she already knew some things, but she did not understand why her son asked her to come. She did not know how to deliver a child, so she asked this question.
"Mother, you're here. In a while, go in and do the disinfection. Then, wear your fourth-rank noble lady's clothes and go inside to comfort the mother. She needs support, the support of faith."
When Zhang Xiaobao saw that his mother had come, he immediately stood up from his chair and went to her side and said respectfully.
"Oh, mother understands. Cuckoo is inside, right? Mother will go now. " The Jang Wong Clan nodded and walked to the disinfected room. She already knew the meaning of faith a few years ago. To put it simply, it was the support of her heart, just like her son and daughter-in-law. As long as the two children were not anxious when they encountered something, the family would be relieved.
To reach this level in the family, in fact, they relied on the decisions of her son and daughter-in-law. As long as the two children did not give up, the family would persevere. Until now, the two children had never given up. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they could endure. This was the white jade pillar that held up the sky, and the golden purple beam that supported the sea, as mentioned in the story of her son and daughter-in-law.
No one knew that the real power of the Zhang Clan and Wang Clan was not the restaurant chain, nor the wharf of Little Luoshui, nor so many strange things, nor the husband's official position, let alone their own family. The main reason why the Zhang Clan and Wang Clan could be so successful was because of the two children who were always ignored by others. As long as the two children were alive, everything else could be lost.
This was their faith. As long as the two children were fine, the Zhang Clan and Wang Clan would not be defeated.
While the Jang Wong Clan was thinking about these things, she was also thinking about how to encourage the woman who was about to give birth.
'This is all I can do. A fourth-rank noble title should be able to cheer her up. 'Zhang Xiaobao thought to himself as he watched his mother enter the room. He sat back down in his chair and thought to himself.
At this time, the delivery room was working hard. The baby had not been born yet. Originally, part of the baby's head had already come out, but the baby's neck was entangled by the umbilical cord, and part of it was still on the ear. The midwife was still foolishly trying to get the baby out. When Wang Juan saw this, she asked the midwife to push the baby back.
The most important thing was that if the umbilical cord really went out, the baby would be strangled to death. It was not that the baby could not breathe. When the baby was just born, it could hold on for a period of time without breathing. What was afraid was that after the baby's mouth and nose came into contact with the outside, the lungs would start to replace the umbilical cord to carry oxygen. Then, the umbilical cord would easily cause the baby to die of hypoxia.
"Gloves." Wang Juan shouted to the doctor. The doctor trembled and brought over a pair of gloves made of sheep's intestines.
Wang Juan put on the gloves, took a deep breath, and reached her hand in to untie the umbilical cord. It was the first time she was doing this. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, but after all, her psychological quality was very strong. She forced herself to enter the state of mind when she was practicing sniping. Her hand went around the umbilical cord little by little. At this time, she found that the baby was really a little too big.
She did not know whether it was because too much nutrition was transmitted from the mother's body or because the baby's genes were like this. Wang Juan's movements were very careful, mainly because she did not have the relevant experience. She could only take a risk. Whether the baby lived or died depended on luck. She was also afraid that she would put the baby in the wrong position. If the baby's feet came out first, she would have to put them back in.
Fortunately, it was Wang Juan. If it were someone else, the midwife and the man guarding the wife would have fought with their lives. How could they put the baby's head back in when part of it was exposed?
They did not dare to oppose Wang Juan's identity. First, they trusted her. Second, they were afraid that if they offended Wang Juan, she would kill their whole family.
The man let his wife grab his arm all the time. People who had not experienced it would never know how much pain a mother had to endure. Just by looking at the man's arm, one could guess that it had been scratched and bloody. At this moment, the man did not feel any pain at all. The arm that was working was still strong and powerful.
Perhaps it was because the pregnant woman usually did a lot of work, so until now, she was still fine. Her eyes were very firm, and when she looked at her husband, she could still smile.
At this time, Jang Wong Clan appeared in a gorgeous noble dress. Under the light of the candles, she looked like a fairy in the sky. If only her belly was smaller, it would be more perfect.
The man was stunned and did not dare to look directly at her. The pregnant woman's eyes lit up, and she looked very excited.
"Don't worry, the child will definitely be fine. My master has already found someone to predict that this child will have a bright future. Sister, you can even become a titled noble lady like me. Just bear with it for a while and it will be over. Back then, it was even more difficult to give birth to Xiao Bao. Just look at Xiao Bao now and you will know.
Jang Wong Clan did not need anyone to teach her. She smiled and lied to the pregnant woman, but her face was so serious that no one doubted her.
Her noble dress really played a role. The pregnant woman nodded and took two deep breaths. She looked at her husband and actually still had the strength to speak.
"The wife of the great official said that this baby will have a bright future. I will give birth to him now."
The man nodded and secretly looked at Jang Wong Clan again. He was confused by her dress, jewelry, and the great motherly smile.
The people outside were also waiting. After another half an hour, a baby's cry with a very strong penetrating force was heard. Some people in the crowd immediately cheered.
As the side door was pushed open, Wang Juan came out first. She calmly nodded at Zhang Xiaobao and smiled at the two families. She said, "Mother and child are safe. Congratulations."
Other than Zhang Xiaobao, who was still very calm, everyone cheered happily. Wang Juan also calmly walked in front of Zhang Xiaobao. The two of them held hands and left as if nothing had happened.
The experiment could be considered a success for now. The rest would depend on the mother's confinement and the child's condition.
"It turns out that giving birth to a child is so difficult, especially under special circumstances. It is not easy to be a mother." Wang Juan's eyes looked into the distance and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
"You don't know? Have you never given birth to a child? You were already thirty years old. "Zhang Xiaobao asked with confusion.
"I don't have a boyfriend. How could I give birth to a child? You are so capable. Didn't you investigate? "Wang Juan glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and asked.
"I only found a part of your personal situation. The person who took the money didn't know much. In the local police department, there was no useful information in your file." Zhang Xiaobao told the truth.
"What about you before? You didn't have a child? "Wang Juan asked again.
"Me? I was amazing. The women who were willing to be with me had a master. I changed one every day. Sometimes it was three. I didn't even give them a title. I don't know how many children I have now. Anyway, I can't remember clearly. There was one day when ten women were with me. That night … "
"It was a hundred, right? How can ten show off your ability? Look at me. Don't hide. Didn't you survive a lie detector test? Someone like you still wants to deceive others? When you sleep at night, you either turn around, lie on your back, or crawl with your limbs open and head tilted.
You have learned a lot of things. Tell me, if you are used to hugging women to sleep, why do you sleep in that position? Don't you have any consciousness because you don't sleep? "
Before Zhang Xiaobao finished, Wang Juan laughed and said.
"Anyway, I have a lot of women. Those women …"
"I understand. I understand your mentality. You are so old. If you say that you don't have a woman, people will laugh at you. You didn't scam people. You didn't manage the construction of schools and roads in the country. You didn't have time to build orphanages and maintain them. You put all your energy into women. I know."
Wang Juan interrupted Zhang Xiaobao again. However, her smile made Zhang Xiaobao feel bitter.
