Chapter 327: Performing a C‑Section on the Mother Gorilla

When Ying arrived with Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan and found Jingang, the pair of apes were hiding in a Cave, and the mother gorilla kept screaming, a sound that tore at people's hearts.

"Roo—roo"

Jingang seemed to sense someone trying to rush out to attack, but as soon as it heard Youchao Xuan's voice it ran straight to his side, then glanced at Nan Qinghuan rubbing against its master, looking very anxious.

Nan Qinghuan naturally understood what was happening, "Don't rush, I'll take a look. Ying, you stay outside and watch; Youchao Xuan and I will go in to see the situation."

Ying wanted to go in, but fearing a wild beast outside might disturb Jingang's wife giving birth, he dismissed the thought, tightened his grip on his Spear, nodded, "Alright."

That "Alright" made Youchao Xuan feel that Ying had truly changed a lot; when Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan entered with the medical kit, inside Jingang's wife was crying out in pain.

That sound made anyone who heard it feel distressed and heart‑wrenching.

Seeing Youchao Xuan and Nan Qinghuan arrive, the mother gorilla looked at them pleadingly, touching her swollen belly helplessly.

Nan Qinghuan carefully approached the mother gorilla; the mother was now a bit irritable and she still feared it might hurt people, so she said, "Youchao Xuan, distract its attention, soothe it well; I'll check the situation."

Youchao Xuan had never seen this mother gorilla before; he only dealt with humans. Could he manage this time? "Goddess, can we save it? It seems it may not be able to give birth."

The mother gorilla's lower region kept bleeding, a sight truly heartbreaking.

Nan Qinghuan said nothing, first examined the fetal position and found a problem; the mother gorilla had little strength, so natural delivery seemed impossible.

"Trouble, her fetal position is abnormal; we may have to try a C‑Section."

"C‑Section?"

Youchao Xuan was completely stunned—what is a C‑Section? Nan Qinghuan said nothing, took a sedative bought from the Merchant city out of the medical kit, and said, "I'll try it first; no matter what we must try. Youchao Xuan, I know you'll think this is incredible, but watch closely. If next year when I give birth I cannot deliver, I will have to rely on you."

"Me?"

Youchao Xuan widened his eyes, a little frightened; rely on him? At that moment he felt the responsibility on his shoulders was too great, and he thought he could not accomplish it.

"Yes, humans and animals are essentially the same. Watch closely and help me. I'll first give it a sedative so it falls asleep, then help me shave its fur cleanly. I need to perform a C‑Section to take the baby; hurry, if we are slow the mother and child will die."

Youchao Xuan dared not delay; although he had never heard these things before, he listened carefully, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Alright, Goddess, tell me what to do."

"Quickly."

This was Nan Qinghuan's first time delivering an animal, and it was a C‑Section—very risky—but she saw the mother gorilla had no strength to give birth, so this was the only option.

Give it everything!

Quickly, she injected the sedative into the mother gorilla; the mother sensed danger and tried to claw at her, but she easily dodged. Soon the mother lost most of her strength, yet its eyes kept staring at them, making Youchao Xuan nervous.

After shaving the fur, the mother gorilla's huge belly was exposed, and faintly something could be seen moving inside; he felt the power of life for the first time.

So marvelous.

"Goddess, what do we do next?"

Nan Qinghuan swallowed, "Make the candlelight brighter; I need more light."

But the candlelight was insufficient; having no choice, she summoned Da Bai and Xiao Bai here, and soon the Cave was bright as daylight.

With the light, she could operate; she calmly took a scalpel from the medical kit. She had previously performed a C‑Section on the locals here; at that time A Yue tried to burn her, calling her a Disaster Star, but she saved those people, and that child is now about a year old.

So she decided to give it a try.

The sharp scalpel gently sliced the mother gorilla's abdomen; instantly the mother became agitated and tried to move, but Youchao Xuan held her down.

Because of that movement, blood spilled out and seeped in.

"Goddess…"

"Hold steady."

She proceeded calmly, continuing the incision; fortunately she had done this before, so it wasn't that hard. After the blade cut through the abdomen, it reached the second layer.

Animals are like humans; when skin and flesh are cut, a pitch‑black thing hides inside, curled up.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that everything was absolutely worth it.

Trembling, she pulled the baby out of the abdomen; it was her first time seeing a gorilla infant—a pinkish lump in the blood, with barely any hair, its skin looking crystal‑clear.

The mother gorilla kept watching them; indeed maternal love is great, gorillas are no exception.

Though it had no strength, it still opened its eyes to see what these people would do; when it saw its baby emerge, tears swirled in the mother gorilla's eyes.

Nan Qinghuan quickly handed the baby to Youchao Xuan, then began suturing the mother gorilla's wound. Fortunately the space had decent equipment, and the mother had not lost much blood. Nan Qinghuan used sterile suturing to close the belly; although it looked ugly and some blood flowed, it would not cost the gorilla its life.

With everything done, dawn was about to break outside.

Ying and Jingang could no longer wait outside.

"Qinghuan, how is it?"

Jingang rushed in toward the mother gorilla, then licked her body; Youchao Xuan, seeing Jingang's anxious expression, finally smiled while holding the baby.

"Jingang, you're here—congratulations on becoming a father."

"Wuwu…"

Seeing the baby, Jingang immediately took the baby away; the three of them lived happily together.

Witnessing this scene, Ying truly found it unbelievable.

"Qinghuan, you're really amazing."

Youchao Xuan also admired Nan Qinghuan's medical skill, "Goddess, you're truly incredible; I thought it would die."

Nan Qinghuan, a little tired, yawned, "Don't worry, it won't die; it just needs extra care these few days to prevent infection. Youchao Xuan, please look after them."

She was too busy now to tend to Jingang's wife, so Youchao Xuan was naturally pleased, "No problem, I'll take care of them. But Goddess, regarding everything you just did, you said that later your baby…"

When the baby was mentioned, Ying became very nervous; seeing the blood on the mother gorilla's belly frightened Ying.

He grabbed Nan Qinghuan's hand, "Qinghuan, does giving birth cause a lot of blood?"

Nan Qinghuan was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Of course, children are formed from the mother's vital blood, so it will."

Hearing that, Ying's complexion turned sour.

He suddenly didn't want the baby anymore.

If Qinghuan is covered in blood, he doesn't want that.

Too dangerous!

?? "Qinghuan, we only need this one kid, I'm afraid you'll feel pain and bleed."
