Tang Yueshan went with him to the place where the Zhang Family was giving birth—it was a small rock cave at least a hundred feet away from here, originally used for storage.
The Zhang Family lay on a stretcher flat on the ground.
The old woman wasn't a midwife, but compared to men, she had some experience with childbirth.
She stayed inside to assist with the birth, while Shangguan Qing and the others all waited outside the cave.
"Do you have wood?" the old woman asked as she came out.
"What size?" Shangguan Qing asked.
The old woman replied, "Not too big, just enough for her to bite on so she doesn't make too much noise or hurt herself."
Shangguan Qing pulled out the wooden stopper from the water pouch: "Will this do?"
The old woman shook her head: "This won't work."
"How about this?" Shangguan Qing then pulled out the wooden hairpin from his head.
The old woman shook her head again: "That won't work either."
