They were actually treating her as a pawnshop.
Ye Ying sized him up, until she was amused by his honesty, "You can't possibly be telling me that you were robbed, right? Or using the name of Feng's to swindle yourself in here, if you want to exchange for money, then show me what you have that's worth it."
Shen Huanzhi sighed in his heart, he did not expect himself to be in such dire straits, forget it, for Xi's sake, it was nothing. He took off the jade pendant on his neck and handed it over to Ye Ying, "To be honest, I was rushed here after falling into the water, all the money and things I had on me left only this jade piece, I don't ask for a sky-high price, but this jade is extremely important to me. If I did not have to take the money to save a life, I would not sell it.
Ye Ying looked at him and took his jade. He could tell it was something from a long time ago when he first touched it, and it was raised in a warm and gentle manner.
He was not lying.
"It's fine to exchange it for silver, and it's fine to negotiate the price, but you must at least tell me your name. If I'm not wrong, you shouldn't be someone from Feng's."
Shen Huanzhi admitted that he did not think highly of her in the beginning, but since he was straightforward, he could not hide it anymore, thus he reported his own name, "My surname is Shen Huanzhi, I am also from Zhejiang, Boss Feng and I can be considered close friends, and due to the circumstances, I was forced to hide something from his, I had no choice but to do so."
"Shen Huanzhi." Ye Ying recited it word for word, "Why do I feel that it sounds familiar, I heard that a Shen Family has been raised in Jiangnan in these past two years, and the one speaking about it is you?"
Shen Huanzhi was startled, he did not think that in this remote place, there would be someone who had heard of him, "It should be, I just started, not enough is enough, if Ye Dong Clan is willing to give me face and I will remember this favor, in the future, I will definitely thank you greatly, but I am waiting for you to save me, but can't say too much, can Ye Dong Clan do a favor?"
She still felt that he owed her a favor, so she liked him a lot.
"If you want to save someone, I wonder who you saved. Do you know which doctor you want to find in the Quadruple Town?"
Shen Huanzhi then asked the right question, "To be honest, my lady, my wife was pregnant and was rushed here with me, the current situation is very inappropriate, I do not know if there is anyone here who can save her, so the silver does not matter, as long as it can be saved, it is fine."
It turns out to be his wife. Ye Ying raised her eyebrows, "Then you asked the right person, there are many good men, but it's not good to have money, you have to have face, I see those two who came with you are from the poor fishing village, the husband will not go, it's better if he brought your wife to me."
Shen Huanzhi was overjoyed, "If that's the case, then I will have to thank Ye Dong's family. I don't know if you have a carriage and my wife's condition is not too good.
"There are carriages. If you can't take it, you can still come. If you want to die in a fishing village, you might as well try your luck."
Ye Ying said that without sparing any face, but sshe was very straightforward, without saying anything further, he ordered her men to send a carriage, which Shen Huanzhi did not dare delay for long, bringing half a carriage of food, and Old Zhang the big fool back to the fishing village.
Aiya, I've lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen something on a wheel. Young man, you're a good man, you can borrow a carriage with just a few words.
Old Zhang talked nonstop all the way. It was probably because he had some food. He talked easily like a big fool, "Go, go, ride a horse …"
Shen Huanzhi shook his head, being able to do it was already enough, but to be able to help these people who could not eat was also considered a merit, he hoped that the heavens would bless them and ensure her safety.
With the food, the entire village would not find it different from watching a living buddha from Shen Huanzhi. Even the foolish mother would feel embarrassed and make things difficult for him, so they helped him carry Xie Jingxi onto the horse carriage politely, "Big brother, I am sorry, but I was just distracted by the situation. Don't take it to heart."
Shen Huanzhi laughed, "Big sister, I have to thank you for saving my wife, I will send someone to deliver the food regularly." He then said to Old Zhang, "Old man, give the child more food. If you can't raise it, give it to me. Don't sell it."
Old Zhang and his wife almost kneeled down when he said that. Everyone in the village came out to watch him leave. If he really did ask Buddha to send him away, then he was the great benefactor of the entire village.
Shen Huanzhi did not dare delay any longer, and carried the unconscious Xie Jingxi all the way to Ye Ying's house.
When the doctor, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, saw Xie Jingxi's stomach, he shouted out, "Ye Dong, quickly go and get the midwife. This child must be born."
Ye Ying looked at Shen Huanzhi, and without saying a word, he went to find someone to get his.
Shen Huanzhi did not know if the child's power would last for another month as he worriedly asked, "Are you sure she can give birth right now? With her current state, how could she have any strength left? Furthermore, the child is not even close to a month yet, this …"
The doctor checked Xie Jingxi's pulse, and then rubbed her stomach, "There's no choice but to give birth, your excellency's condition is not good, and it will affect mother and son. If you keep them for another two days, they won't be able to keep you alive."
Hearing that, Shen Huanzhi panicked, he did not know if this doctor was reliable, but he did not know who to believe in that moment, "Right now, everything is fine, you must tell me the truth."
"Don't believe me, there's no one else in the Quadruple Town who can save her, and right now they can't be born immediately. I'll give her a bowl of soup and give her a few acupuncture points first, she hasn't eaten anything in a few days, how can she still have the strength to live, the child is raised so big, it will take her life."
Poor Shen Huanzhi also didn't have such experience, and although he was burning with anxiety, he didn't know how to respond. He could only listen to the question, "About that, you have to guarantee Master's safety, if you can't do it, if you can't … In any case, you will definitely protect the Lord. "
After all, the child was not his, so he could not say that he had abandoned the child. However, he thought that Gu Yun would also make the same decision.
Shen Huanzhi was unable to intervene and could only watch from the side in a panic. That doctor had more use than he had imagined, but after giving Xi a few needles, Xi actually started to gradually regain consciousness.
"Is this your wife? "Come and give her some ice cream." That doctor saw him standing there in a daze and said in a bad mood.
Shen Huanzhi took a handkerchief that was soaked with water and helped her wipe his hands. In the end, it was not his, so he could not wipe his body.
After tormenting for half the night, Xie Jingxi finally managed to mutter to herself, "Is it Brother Huanzhi?"
Shen Huanzhi nodded his head, "It's me, Xi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? The doctor said that you have to give birth soon, can you bear it?"
Xie Jingxi blinked her eyes, "Listen to the doctor, if you don't, it'll be too late, I can handle it."
She knew what the doctor said was true, so she decided to leave her life to Providence and let Shen Huanzhi coordinate with her husband. As long as she was awake, she would be able to determine which parts were okay and which were not, it was much better than being brainless like Shen Huanzhi.
Xi heaved a sigh of relief, "Then alright, Xi, I'll have to bet my life on this, don't worry, I'll always guard you, I'll guard you in Gu Yun's place, it's fine if you treat me as him. As long as you can survive this, I'll pay back the debt you owe the heavens."
Xie Jingxi tightened her grip on his hand. She owed Shen Huanzhi a debt that she would never be able to repay in her entire life.
During the next day, Xie Jingxi passed the days in intense pain. She had not recovered her strength yet, so she did not dare to shout loudly, for fear of wasting her strength. Thus, she gritted her teeth and forcefully endured the pain, causing several layers of her bedding to be drenched in sweat.
Shen Huanzhi had been guarding her the entire time, her hand was being gripped so tightly that it had lost all feeling, but he couldn't care less right now, he could only sweat for her. No wonder everyone said that a woman's child was like a ghost, it was truly an unbearable feeling.
The midwives came in and saw that Shen Huanzhi was still there, they were extremely frightened, "But I can't do that, you have to go out and guard, how can I do that?" He had never accepted a new student in front of a man before, even as a midwife, he was nervous.
How could he let her face this life and death situation by herself? If she could not endure it, letting him accompany her for the last time would also be good, so Shen Huanzhi rejected them straightforwardly, and turned his back to them, "You can give birth properly, and just treat it as if I wasn't here. As long as mother and son are safe, I won't treat you unfairly."
How could she treat him as not being here? The midwife wiped the sweat off her forehead and reluctantly treated him as a wooden stake to be delivered to Xie Jingxi.
Xie Jingxi had long since been prepared in her heart, but it was still much more difficult than she had imagined. She had thought that her will was relatively strong, and after drinking a few bowls of soup consecutively, she still fainted several times, and every time she was about to die, his grandmother, Old Man Ji, and Gu Yun's face would always appear in front of her. They were all looking at her from afar, but she was not close.
But this time, she could not die, Gu Yun still needed her, and at the last moment of life and death, the only thing remaining in her mind was Gu Yun. This man who could bear everything for her, how could she lose her?
