The man grasped Luo Qiao's arm, speaking somewhat incoherently, "Save my wife, don't let anything happen to her. I don't know if there's another doctor, my wife, I'm going to look for a doctor right away."
With the help of the conductor, the other two passengers in the compartment were given different berths. After taking her pulse, Luo Qiao found it to be normal. The comrade from earlier must have been scared.
Soon a broadcast was heard on the train, but after waiting a long time, no doctor came. Luo Qiao had another conductor bring scissors and alcohol, and had him fetch a basin of hot water. Then she used the bedsheet from the opposite bunk to draw a curtain.
In the end, it was a woman from the neighboring compartment who took the initiative to help. At this dead of night, with no hospital near the small station where they had stopped, everyone was tense for over three hours. Finally, the cry of a newborn broke the silence, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
