Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Delivering Puppies

Seeing that just a few more turns and she’ll be able to see the edge of the North Slope, Beisitian helplessly pauses her steps once more, looking at the big wolfdog, panting heavily with its tongue hanging out but still stubbornly following her. She really is a bit exasperated.

The wolfdog, seeing Beisitian turn back, whines softly, its eyes surprisingly carrying a pleading look.

Beisitian looks up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, "Following me is useless, I don’t know how to deliver babies, let alone puppies!"

That’s right, this wolfdog wants her to help deliver puppies!

This wolfdog is indeed very smart. It knows that although it has barely survived, its severe injuries have not yet healed, and it lacks the strength to give birth. But it just happens to be the time for delivery, and Beisitian is the only human who can help it, especially since this human had just saved it!

Beisitian estimated that it was probably the fight with the bear that triggered an early response than expected!

"Aowoo~~"

The wolfdog’s voice was very low, with strong pleading, at least that’s how Beisitian felt when she heard it.

The wolfdog, already exhausted, slowly huddled on the ground and no longer had the strength to stand up.

Seeing its drooping eyelids, hot air spewing from its nose, Beisitian’s heart softened, but then she remembered that she indeed couldn’t help with delivery. In her previous and current life, she was a maiden who had never dealt with such a matter.

With a ruthless heart, Beisitian turned and left, hearing no sounds following her, meaning that the wolfdog no longer had the strength to continue.

"Giving birth to puppies is something you’ll have to do on your own!" Beisitian mumbled to herself as she walked, but her pace gradually slowed down and soon she halted on the spot.

Beisitian stood there for a long time, looking back at the wolfdog—it had switched from squatting to lying on its side on the ground, those dark brown eyes filled with pain and confusion.

Beisitian thought she must have gone mad, not only understanding the dog’s intentions for help but now also seeing confusion in its eyes?!

She clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and turned back.

Beisitian quickly walked to the wolfdog’s side and whispered, "I really don’t know how to deliver, but I’ve seen mares give birth; I can only try to help you, but it mostly depends on yourself!"

The wolfdog whined softly again, unknown if it understood or not.

Beisitian looked around. This was not a good place for delivery; the surroundings were too open, and there was no water. Even if not discovered by other carnivorous animals, various difficulties would arise during delivery.

She had seen people deliver foals, and more water was fed in between.

They are all animals, so it should be the same principle.

Beisitian gently patted the wolfdog’s head, "We can’t stay here, can you still stand up?"

She could tell that the dog should not have reached the due date yet. Although not specialized in this matter, she has studied and learned various fields.

As the saying goes, you may not have eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run!

The wolfdog had collapsed, not because it was about to give birth, but because it was yet to recover from serious injuries and was exhausted by following Beisitian over such a long path.

The wolfdog, seeing Beisitian returning, its dim eyes brightened, seemingly understanding her words, struggling for a long time before standing up.

One human and one dog headed toward the edge of the river Kao Shan.

This river is small, rumored to originate deep in the mountains, flowing through Kao Village. Before there was running water, many households in the village relied on this river for supply, commonly using the river water for irrigation.

The distance to Kao Shan River was not far, but the wolfdog - walking and stopping - took a quarter of an hour to reach.

Seeing the rippling gleam of Kao Shan River, the wolfdog could walk no further, collapsing to the ground, even the air exhaled from its nose carried blood streaks.

Beisitian knew it had reached its limit, letting it lay honestly, as she ran to the river with a water bottle to fetch water.

Upon returning, she heard the wolfdog whining painfully; it was about to give birth!

Beisitian immediately became tense, placed the water bottle aside, and knelt with one knee on the ground watching the wolfdog’s painful state, yet unsure where to start.

The fact that she had practiced as a Mystic Doctor all her life quickly calmed her down. She tried hard to recall the process her master took her through when they watched a mare give birth in her previous life.

The mare reportedly had a difficult birth, with a leg coming out first, signaling a complication!

Many thought both the mare and foal were doomed; some gleefully suggested the innkeeper start boiling water to stew horse meat.

In the end, her master took action, successfully delivering the foal, leaving both mare and foal safe and sound!

At that time, her master did not rely on Mystic Doctor skills; Beisitian witnessed the whole process. Her master first pushed the foal’s leg back, then inserted his hand to pull the foal’s head out.

Beisitian thought then, there was nothing her master couldn’t do!

Beisitian recalled that after pushing the leg back, her master pushed along the mare’s belly. Remembering this, she started pushing the wolfdog’s belly clockwise.

"I’ll gently push; you try to exert force!" Beisitian said to the wolfdog, seeing no response, she couldn’t help but smile wryly; after all, it’s a dog, not every word could be understood.

Beisitian had to guide it with action, finally, slowly, it learned how to cooperate with her.

Soon, the first wolf pup was born!

The little one was slimy on the ground, covered in a film of slime, and the wolfdog bent to lick it, swallowing the membrane.

Beisitian turned away, trying not to look, lest her stomach turn upside down.

Soon, with the wolfdog’s cooperation, the second pup was born.

Beisitian endured her sweat, how many more were there in this belly?

Delivery is extremely physically consuming for both humans and animals, explaining the wolfdog’s tenacity in following Beisitian.

The third little wolf pup refused to come out, Beisitian felt its belly, her eyebrows furrowing, feeling that the little wolf pup inside was sideways?

Beisitian wasn’t entirely sure; half an hour passed, and still, the third little one didn’t come out. She grew anxious.

She gave the wolfdog water several times, then suddenly recalled. She extracted a little from the Polygonum multiflorum, adding it to the water bottle and feeding it to the wolfdog.

After drinking the water soaked with Polygonum multiflorum, the wolfdog seemed to regain some strength. Under Beisitian’s continuous massage, the third wolf pup finally came out!

Beisitian felt somewhat relieved; fortunately, it wasn’t as she feared; if the pup inside were sideways, that would have been troublesome.

After the third wolf pup was born, a large clot of blood also emerged, which the wolfdog bent down and gobbled up without hesitation.

The placenta is highly nutritious for it!
