Meanwhile, Jing Shu felt that, having assisted several people in giving birth, there was no reason she couldn't manage a goose with dystocia. Why not control the goose's breathing to help it lay its egg?
Sadly, controlling the egg inside was impossible. Jing Shu closed her eyes and let the goose struggle for a while. It exerted itself mightily, but to no avail—the egg wouldn't even begin to emerge, and attempting to retrieve it manually might crush it.
If it really came down to it, they might have to break the egg.
This must be because it hasn't laid eggs in so long. It seems like the rich food was also a mistake. Breaking the egg might work this once, but we can't do that every time, can we? The lionhead goose has to get through this hurdle. Maybe with enough pushing, it'll eventually stretch things out.
