Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 241 Production

Sang Tian couldn't sleep, so she sat by the stove and brewed mulberry and sea buckthorn tea.

But there was a faint sound of commotion outside the door. It sounded like there were still quite a few tribesmen moving around.

Just when Sang Tian was confused and was about to open the cave door to see what was going on.

There was a knock on the door.

Sang Tian opened the door and it was Duo.

Duo's face looked a little anxious, but also mixed with joy.

"What's going on outside?"

"Sang! It's Qin, she's going to give birth! Shu has already invited the woman in our tribe who has been giving birth to babies.

The chief and my father have already heard the news and are rushing over! Many members of the tribe have gone. After all, the Tianlang haven't had a cub in three years!

Let’s go and have a look.”

Sang Tian's heart suddenly changed.

A female is about to give birth!

This Qin was originally a female from the Shanhu tribe, and Shu was her partner.

When she first joined the Tianlang tribe, she was already more than five months pregnant.

Counting the days, it is indeed time.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times when various medical systems are extremely mature, giving birth for women is like walking through the gates of hell.

Not to mention such conditions.

Even though Sang Tian knew nothing about midwifery, she didn't care about anything else at the moment. She put on her shoes and hurried to the third floor with Duo.

……

When we arrived, we found that all the tribesmen had already arrived: the witch, the chief, Shan, Lan, and the others. They were all in the hallway.

Some were busy boiling water, while others seemed to be making ginseng chicken soup, with the witch giving instructions.

Those who couldn't help sat on rocks or wooden stakes beside the aisle, trying not to block the road.

Sang Tian glanced at the entrance of Qin's cave.

I found that the old female named Hong was feeding mycelium fish soup to Qin, too!

The delivery process can take as little as a few hours or as long as ten to twenty hours. It is important to ensure that the pregnant woman has enough water and energy to maintain her strength. After all, there were no caesarean sections in ancient times, and pregnant women could only rely on their own strength to give birth.

At this time, Sang Tian observed that Qin's contractions had become very frequent, averaging once every seven or eight minutes, and the duration was getting shorter and shorter.

She was sweating and panting from the pain, and even eating looked difficult.

However, what Sang Tian noticed was the environment.

During the production process, the production area must be kept clean and tidy to reduce the risk of infection.

Especially the bed where the pregnant woman gives birth, and the auxiliary tools she uses for delivery, such as bone scissors. Of course, the midwife's body and hands must be clean.

Sang Tian knew nothing about midwifery, but she knew about sterilization and keeping hygiene.

This cave is very tidy. I guess Qin is a very diligent female.

Soon, Qin's contractions started to occur every three minutes, and she was about to give birth.

Hong constantly massages the pregnant woman's back and abdomen to relieve pain and discomfort.

The tribesmen brought in ginseng chicken soup, and Hong fed it to Qin quickly.

Then quickly put the bone shears and other things on the oil lamp and burn them.

The two females who helped immediately replaced the animal skins on the kang with new, clean ones. Then, Hong assisted the pregnant woman to find a comfortable position for childbirth.

Sang Tian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he knew the basics, even though Hong might not know the principle behind it.

Immediately afterwards, Hong went outside and soaked her hands in clear wood ash water, washed them, and then washed them again in clean water.

Wood ash water does have a bactericidal effect.

Four buckets of hot water had been brought into the cave.

After Hong went in, she closed the bamboo door.

But the tribesmen could hear the noise inside.

From the cave came Hong's voice and Qin's rhythmic breathing.

The baby was about to be delivered.

It must be that Hong constantly encouraged the pregnant woman to breathe, and guided Qin to take deep breaths and relax her body, which helped to relieve pain and tension.

Soon, they heard Qin's painful screams that shook the sky, and the tribesmen looked distressed and scared when they heard it.

All the tribesmen were worried about her.

Duo sat next to Sang Tian and held Sang Tian's hand tightly.

Sang Tian also had a solemn expression. In the cave, the great mother was screaming in agony. How could she feel at ease in such a scene?

Hong's constant encouragement slowly came.

Shu paced back and forth anxiously outside the cave, and his eyes were almost dizzy from walking around so much.

Everyone was well aware of the dangers of childbirth, how easily two lives could be lost, and they were all eager to stay in this aisle, unwilling to leave.

Pray that Qin and her child are safe.

Fortunately, most ancient females had stronger bodies and were quite powerful. Furthermore, they continued to work even during pregnancy, which in some ways was beneficial for childbirth.

An hour had passed, and although Qin's shouting was not full of energy, at least she still had the strength to fight hard.

During the meal, ginseng chicken soup was delivered again to help Qin replenish her energy.

Another hour passed.

at last,

“Wow—wow—”

A loud cry continued to be heard. Everyone's face looked like they were relieved.

Shu's anxiously pale face instantly showed an expression of joy.

A few minutes later, Hong, holding the wrapped child in her arms, opened the door and lifted the animal skin curtain.

He smiled and said to the tree, "Qin is fine. She just ran out of energy and fell asleep. She's a smart kid."

Hong didn't dare to take the child out, for fear that the child would be exposed to the cold outside, but the tribesmen could see the child in Li Hong's arms through the opened curtain.

The little face was wrinkled and there were tear marks at the corners of the eyes.

Finally, mother and child are safe.

After three years, the tribe finally had a new baby, and Lei and the others' faces were full of joy.

……

Afterwards, Hong invited a witch to come in and take Qin's pulse to check for signs of hemorrhage and to see how her body was doing. Furthermore, Qin was currently weak, so the witch had to immediately prescribe a medicine tailored to her condition.

The tribesmen looked at the witch who came out to take Qin's pulse with a nervous look on their faces. They would only be completely relieved when they heard the witch say that Qin was not seriously injured.

The witch came out and said, "It's nothing serious, just too weak."

Then Cang helped him back to his cave to prepare medicine for Qin.

After hearing this, the tribesmen felt relieved.

After congratulating the tree, they left one after another.

Later, Hong called Shu in and gave him some instructions and taboos on taking care of the mother and newborn.

Sang Tian, Duo Yiyong and the others also left.

After tossing and turning for half the night, and with everyone's emotions in a state of worry and tension, they were all tired.

But Sang Tian still couldn't sleep after returning home.

Fortunately, there was no danger. If there had been any problems, with this ancient medical technology, Sang Tian felt that the chances of success would be slim.

I wonder if the next mother will be able to give birth so smoothly?

As a modern person who traveled through time, I am useless in this matter.

What should we do?

Sang Tian thought, if I also knew medical skills, would things be different?

But Sang Tian finally gave a wry smile and gave up the idea.

I am daydreaming...

Sang Tian fell asleep with an extremely heavy heart...

……

But what Sang Tian could not have anticipated was that although he was unable to learn medical skills in modern times.

But in the near future, he learned a lot of witchcraft and witch doctor skills...

With the capital to help people in this ancient society with poor medical conditions...
