Chapter 207: Divine Child becomes a vet
The mother deer didn't stay standing for long. The prolonged labor had depleted a lot of its strength, and its legs were trembling, whether from pain or exhaustion.
Seeing the mother deer lie down again, Han Cheng and Liang waited a moment before cautiously approaching.
In the natural world, giving birth is the most dangerous time for animals because of their weakness, making them vulnerable to predators. Therefore, animals in labor are especially vigilant.
The mother deer watched Han Cheng and Liang, intending to stand up again when they approached.
Han Cheng quickly stopped in his tracks, and then he and Liang retreated, not daring to disturb the deer further.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Seeing the two men back away, the mother deer relaxed slightly.
Han Cheng scratched his head. It was evident that the mother deer was experiencing difficult labor. Despite wanting to help, Han Cheng couldn't get close to her. This delay endangered the fawn and left the mother deer in a precarious situation.
Han Cheng looked at Deer Lord and nudged its hindquarters, urging it to go comfort its mate.
However, the Deer Lord didn't cooperate. Despite seeking Han Cheng out earlier, it refused to approach its mate.
After waiting for a while and seeing no progress in the deer's labor, Han Cheng attempted to approach again.
This time, he didn't bring Liang along but approached alone. Compared to Liang, he was more familiar with these deer.
Surprisingly, the Deer Lord, who had refused to cooperate earlier, now followed Han Cheng toward the mother deer.
Although the mother deer seemed alert, she didn't stand up this time, perhaps because she recognized the troublesome Deer Lord or remembered Han Cheng, who had often milked her.
Seeing this, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel relieved. Carefully, he approached the mother deer from behind, crouching to examine the hoof protruding from the birth canal.
Due to his previous experience raising sheep and cattle, Han Cheng was not unfamiliar with animal births. Through observation and experience, he gained some knowledge.
Earlier, due to insufficient light, he couldn't see clearly. But now, with a close-up view, he identified the problem.
Only one hoof was protruding from the birth canal.
After thinking for a while, he pulled his right hand out and pressed it against the fawn's head. With his left hand gripping the leg that had been out for some time, he slowly pushed inward.
This process was laborious, and it took a while before Han Cheng managed to push the fawn back inside somewhat. He was already drenched in sweat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly reached his right hand back inside and found the previous position. He grasped the fawn's leg and, with force, slowly turned it back into position.
During this process, the mother deer was in great pain and attempted to stand up several times but ultimately endured it.
After aligning the fawn's front hooves, Han Cheng pulled them outward with all his strength.
His hands and the fawn's body were slippery, making it challenging to exert force.
After straightening the fawn's leg, the mother deer could have given birth without Han Cheng's assistance. However, considering that the amniotic sac had been ruptured for a long time and the birth was delayed, there was a risk that the fawn might not survive. Therefore, Han Cheng continued to assist as a midwife.
It was ironic that as a transmigrator, he not only had to consider childbirth for women in the tribe but also had to help deliver a deer.
Once the fawn's position was corrected, the birth proceeded much faster.
Before long, the fawn's mouth appeared, followed by its head.
Once half of its body was out, with a splash, the rest followed.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Sparrow Tribe breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sparrow Tribe had gained another deer.
Han Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, extending his arms outward to avoid getting dirty.
However, his relief was short-lived. This fawn, which had just gone through a difficult birth, didn't struggle to stand up like the others did after birth. Instead, it lay on the ground, moving slightly.
The mother deer, who had just experienced a difficult labor, turned her head and licked the fawn clean while nudging it with her head, encouraging it to stand up as soon as possible.
As herbivores, they needed to learn to run as quickly as possible.
