Chapter 284 Tribal affairs, there are people in the dark night(1/2)
Xia Dao and the women were so anxious that they were sweating profusely.
They have encountered this situation before, and usually use gentle and outward traction to correct the fetal position and help it deliver.
But it was of no use to this ewe. Xia Dao and several women worked hard for a while but did not help it give birth.
Wang Wei couldn't help it either. He had never raised animals before, so he was very lacking in animal breeding.
If this continues, I am afraid that both the big sheep and the little sheep will die.
Wang Wei suggested that the ewe should be caesareaned directly. He thought that people could perform the operation to give birth, and so could sheep. This was also to accumulate experience for the future.
He asked Xia Dao to wait and ran directly back to the hut.
Knock first.
The door was only opened a crack, and Hu Meizi was behind it. It seemed that they were not finished yet.
Wang Wei asked Mei, Su Xiaoxiao, Li and others to go to the sheep pen to operate on the ewe giving birth. He said that this was a rare learning opportunity, and he could also gain experience in operating on women with dystocia in the future.
The woman in the room suddenly became quiet.
"Your Majesty, sheep are different from people."
"I know, so you need to practice."
Mei came out of the house with a bad look on her face. She was obviously shocked by Wang Wei's bold idea.
Li also came out of the house and said, "Your Majesty, how about I go have an operation?"
Wang Wei didn't expect Li to be so bold. Judging from her normal expression, she shouldn't be afraid.
So I pulled her towards the pharmacy, where there were knives specially made by Wang Wei in the pharmacy, which could also be used for surgery.
Mei, Su Xiaoxiao, and Hu Meizi were worried and followed them, leaving only Hua and Shi Yun.
They first went to the pharmacy to get a scalpel, twine, needles, tools for bandaging, etc.
In the sheepfold, Wang Wei asked Xia Dao to move a table and asked several women to stand around with torches held high.
The ewe was pushed down and placed on the table. Several strong women from the breeding team grabbed the ewe and fixed it.
Li held the knife and didn't know how to start.
Wang Wei asked her to cut open the sheep's belly.
It turned out that she didn't know whether to cut it horizontally or vertically.
Wang Wei asked her to cut it horizontally.
Li's hands were shaking a little, and she was obviously starting to get scared.
Wang Wei held her wrist and squeezed it to reassure her.
"Don't be afraid. At most, one ewe will die, but the lamb can be saved."
Li's eyes became firm as expected, and she nodded.
Then came the moment of her performance, when she made the first cut and the ewe felt the pain.
It was very frightened and cried out, maybe thinking that these two-legged beasts were trying to harm it and wanted to break away and escape.
But how could it break free? It couldn't move as it was being held down.
Wang Wei asked Xia Dao to cover the ewe's head with a piece of animal skin to reduce its uneasiness.
Li continued to gently make an incision on the ewe's abdomen, and blood immediately poured out.
As time passed, everyone just couldn't speak.
Li's technique was very unfamiliar at first, but he gradually became more proficient.
Wang Wei saw that Li was no longer afraid, her hands no longer shook, and she became very focused.
Until she completely opened the ewe's abdomen and could see the fetus inside the ewe. Then she slowly took the baby out of the mother's uterus, gently and quickly. Then she cut the placenta and took out the lamb.
This ewe was pregnant with two lambs. Even if the ewe died, Wang Wei felt that the Xia tribe still made a profit.
The next step is to clean the wound of the ewe and suture it.
This step was completed by Mei and Su Xiaoxiao. They felt scared at first, but after looking at it for a long time, they felt that it was just the same.
Xia Dao uncovered the animal skin covering the ewe and found that it was still rolling its eyes. It raised its head with difficulty and looked at the baby sheep beside it, with love and hope shining in its eyes.
I don’t know if the ewe will survive the crisis safely. It seems to be fine now, and we will need to observe it more in the future.
The Xia tribe did not have anesthesia, so the pain this ewe suffered can be imagined, but no one can imagine it.
For everyone, especially Li, this process is full of tension, fear and joy. It is a miracle of life and a testimony of the deep feelings between animals and humans.
Wang Wei asked Xia Dao to prepare a sheltered pen for the ewe. The environment should be clean and hygienic to prevent its wound from being infected. He also fixed it to prevent it from moving around until its wound healed.
Through this operation on the ewe, everyone felt that they learned a lot.
The ones who felt the deepest feelings were Mei, Su Xiaoxiao and Li.
Wang Wei thought maybe he could give them more opportunities to practice performing minor surgeries on animals.
All of them smelled of blood, so they went to wash up and returned to the hut.
Wang Wei saw Hu Meizi, Shi Yun, and Hua all sewing.
Unexpectedly, Hu Meizi also started learning to do needlework.
But when she saw Wang Wei, she immediately threw away her underwear and needle and thread.
"I just took a look and didn't do anything."
Everyone in the room laughed at her behavior.
"It's okay. It's okay even if I do it. I've done it too, haven't I?"
Shi Yun said: "Don't worry, I will finish sewing soon."
"Shi Yun, I heard that there are some small tribes around the Zhi tribe. Send more people to visit them. Maybe they also have linen."
"I found two. The Weaver tribe said that their linen is not as good as the Weaver tribe's."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's good or not. These can be improved. The key is to find a way to let them all grow hemp."
"I see."
Wang Wei saw that the underwear she was sewing was obviously a few sizes too big. It was not what she was wearing at all.
"You sewed it for Xia Feng, right?"
"Um."
"Tell Xia Feng that this underwear is still in the testing stage, so it is produced in small quantities to prevent the hunting team members from thinking that the Xia tribe is doing something special."
When Shi Yun heard this, he threw away the needle and thread in his hand and stopped working.
"Your Majesty is still thinking carefully, I almost forgot."
"It's okay. I said it's okay to try it on. Right now, the Xia tribe is short of linen, but after we plant a lot of it, we'll try to make it available to everyone in the Xia tribe."
Mei said: "The sewing is almost finished. Only Xia Feng can wear this."
Shi Yun said: "The king is right, Xia Feng is in the hunting group, and no one else is. Xia Feng can't be too special."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her and Aunt Fox's underwear and walked out.
"Hu Meizi, don't you live here?"
"I'll go back to sleep."
She followed Shi Yun out.
Su Xiaoxiao closed the door and asked:
"Your Majesty, is Shi Yun angry?"
"Angry? Why didn't I notice? Don't think so much. I am doing this for Shi Yun's good. I will wait for her to sew it for Xia Feng to wear. Seeing that no one else has it, Xia Feng will definitely not wear it. Xia Feng may even blame Shi Yun.
cloud."
Mei said: "The king still understands Xia Feng."
"This is what I like about Xia Feng. Okay, it's too late, go to bed."
It was about eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and someone in the Xia tribe had already started snoring.
Wang Wei also wanted to go to bed a long time ago. He was really tired every day.
However, tonight was really a bit unsettling. Just when he fell asleep, he was woken up by Mei, saying that the person on duty had noticed someone approaching the Xia tribe.
Wang Wei turned over and sat up, quickly dressed and ran out.
The seven hunting groups were waiting for him outside the tribe's gate.
The Xia tribe's night watch team now is not the hunting team, it's mainly because Wang Wei wants them to train them, so in order to ensure sleep, separate night watch personnel are formed.
Tonight, when they were patrolling, Dabai noticed something unusual, and his loud screams alerted the people hiding in the darkness.
The night watchman went to check and found several people in the dark. They did not run away when the night watchmen came.
