Just now, he seemed to have seen Xi. He saw that the two of them were separated by thousands of miles, and that they were unable to touch each other.
He always had the feeling that his Xi was waiting for him somewhere. Maybe it was the reaction between loved ones, or maybe it was purely his intuition that was deceiving himself, but no matter what, he had to find her. Whether she lived or died, he could not let her wait alone at a place that he could not see.
Without waiting for daylight, Gu Yun walked out of the house. The cold of the winter night made him extremely uncomfortable, he wrapped himself in the fur coat and saw Zhao Zhang walking towards him from afar.
Zhao Zhang had been asking and searching day and night about, and it was no less than what Gu Yun had endured. When he saw Gu Yun coming out, he said anxiously, "Elder, it's still early, it's not too late for you to go to sleep. I'm outside watching."
"Zhao Zhang, I can't sleep."
Zhao Zhang's heart stung. In his memories, there had never been a time when Gu Yun was this depressed. When a person was not afraid of death or hardship, the one he feared the most was that he would have no place to entrust his willpower to.
"Master, I don't know if there is good news or not." Zhao Zhang tried to give him some hope, "It's news from the Manager Li. When Young Master Shen entered the water, their boat followed behind him, they did indeed lose it, but there are some general direction, after searching for it for a few days, they heard that they have locked onto a piece of water, but that water area's hull was not easy to enter, the underwater whirlpool is extremely large, and the Manager Li is currently searching for an opening."
Gu Yun frowned, "Bring some people with you to help him, don't miss any hope."
"Yes, I will go right away. You should just go in and avoid the cold." Zhao Zhang paused, "Master, I know you don't want to hear this, but you have to think of Madam. Once she returns, I don't want to see you fall down again."
Gu Yun did not say anything, his gaze was fixated on the dark sky, "Zhao Zhang, regardless of whether she returns or not, do not hide anything from me, I can hold on."
Can you hold on? Zhao Zhang thought that since his wife was not coming back, his whole family would not be able to hold on.
Xie Jingxi narrowly escaped death and finally heard a cry at dawn.
The wailing sound resonated through the sky and pulled Xie Jingxi's soul back. Xie Jingxi's lips curled up into a smile and she closed her eyes in relief.
Shen Huanzhi powerlessly squatted on the ground. During this day and night, his heart had sunk a few times, as if he had been tormented for a lifetime, and countless of times he had thought that Xi was about to leave. The moment the child came out, he had a feeling that he had been reborn.
"Husband, quickly look. It's a male doll." She hugged Shen Huanzhi as if she had forgotten about whether or not a man should be in the delivery room, and said to Shen Huanzhi like she was offering a treasure, "This is the first time I have been a father. Seeing how nervous you are, I can tell that you are in love with your wife.
Shen Huanzhi's heart had yet to calm down, before he was forcefully pushed into a corner by his father. He frantically took the child in his arms, his entire body tensed up and the weight of the child was sufficient, the strange thing was that he actually trembled and opened his eyes, although it was just a slit, but Shen Huanzhi's first thought was that the child looked like Xi.
Aiyo, so many children have been delivered by me, and I've rarely seen anyone open their eyes. This child is fated to be with you.
Shen Huanzhi also forgot that this child did not belong to him at all. This child kept looking at him, and still smiled at him, as if she was happy that she had become Xie Jingxi's father. He arrived in front of Xie Jingxi's bed with the child in her arms, "Look, Xi, he's smiling at me."
Xie Jingxi had already fallen asleep, he did not know who he was laughing with, but looking at him, it really looked like a family of three.
The midwife went out to report the good news and everyone knew that Shen Huanzhi had gained a big fat boy. Ye Ying gave her a lot of silver and sent her away, instructing the little girl in front of him to take care of Xie Jingxi. After doing some good things, she busied herself with grain storehouse.
The doctor had been guarding outside the entire time, and after the child was born he came in to see Xie Jingxi, "If you lose your strength, it will take 2 to 3 days before you can wake up, so during this time, do not lose the soup, and do not let the wind blow either.
Shen Huanzhi nodded his head and replied, "Thank you for your help, I will definitely come to thank you another day. I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My surname is Chang."
His surname was Chang, very strange.
When the child and Xie Jingxi had settled down, Shen Huanzhi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. It was only then did he remember that his bones seemed to have been torn apart and reconstituted, and that he had been washed thoroughly by water. Until now, he had not been able to change his clothes and eat a meal, not to mention sleep, and was thinking of finding a place to shower when Ye Ying returned from the front courtyard.
She took a piece of clothing and casually threw it at Shen Huanzhi, "Hurry up and change your clothes, there's no one left."
Shen Huanzhi laughed as he received the clothes, "Ye Dong Clan, you are considerate."
Ye Ying glanced at him, "I am not the type of person who does not repay kindness with favors. Every yard is a yard, the clothes and food have to be paid with silver."
Shen Huanming was stunned. He thought to himself, "A lady like you. You're dressed like a bandit and you're not as adorable as your Jiangnan girls."
"Come on, Ye Dong, I, Shen Huanzhi will keep my promise. When the time comes, you can have whatever you want."
Who needed his silver taels? Ye Ying was unhappy, why did it seem like she owed him? This guy, she really doesn't know what's good for him!
Shen Huanzhi changed his clothes and used a few mouthfuls of rice, immediately feeling that he was alive. He thought about it, since Xi was already born, he had to quickly think of a way to notify Manager Li, he did not have any silver on him, it would be inconvenient to be tied down here, thus Shen Huanzhi walked out of the Ye Family residence.
Just as he was looking around, he realized that there were people surrounding the grain storehouse entrance. Shen Huanzhi thought that there was a business trip, and was about to go to the granary at the side, when he suddenly heard a shout that entered his ear. He frowned, and stopped to listen carefully.
"Go and call your shopkeeper out, do you know how to handle matters? I, Yueyue, am here to collect the rent, I've never seen your face before!"
Shen Huanzhi had seen a lot in the business world, and there were always people who dared to bully others without showing their face. Almost instinctively, he knew that they had to bully a weak girl like Ye Ying, Shen Huanzhi thought for a bit, then decided to help.
It was indeed a vile habit of the locals, and this man was none other than the leader of the locals who had come to suppress the populace. He was a lackey sent by the locals to bully the populace, and when he saw the sky filling up the town, he would use silver to drive away the misfortune of those families.
was a girl, but she was definitely not a weak girl. When she heard the noise, she immediately moved a chair over and sat down, and with one leg stepping on the chair, she responded to Shen Huanzhi's description.
"Second Fatty, what's going on, last time I got beaten up too lightly, right? I have a thick skin and I'm not afraid of being beaten up, I, Ye Ying's dignity is not something that anyone can look at and trample on. If you want money, be polite. I have to bring you tea and water as if it was my ancestors who gave it to you! "
However, his face was swollen as he took on the role of a fatty, and still looked down at Ye Ying from above, "Shopkeeper Ye, don't you dare disrespect me. Our master had personally instructed you, in the entire Quadruple Town, no one dares to be rude to us. If it wasn't for a woman like you, we would have already sent people to beat you up."
Ye Ying sneered, "Hit me? "Tell your elder to come beat me up and beat me to death. Who's going to give you so much silver a year? I'll spend money to buy some peace and quiet, and next time, ask someone else to come and collect it. When I see your face, tell them that I don't want to give it to you."
"You!" He was so angry that he wanted to beat her up, but he didn't dare to move even a few steps away from her. This woman's body wasn't even big enough, and she didn't hesitate to beat people up. The last time she hit him still hurt.
"Just you wait!" In the end, after Er Pang said those harsh words, he called for his men and left. He suddenly saw Shen Huanzhi's face and stopped to stare at him. Where did you get that dog barricade from, do you have a face? Since you paid the money, you should just settle down at Quadruple Town. "
In his entire life, he had never seen someone so unreasonable. This place was bought by someone, and they even had to collect money to settle down here. No wonder Old Zhang said that Quadruple Town wasn't something that could be moved here just because they wanted to.
"I don't think there's such a rule in the laws of the Great Chen. What? You spent silver to buy this land from the His Majesty? I never heard that you have to spend silver to stay here."
Ye Ying frowned, who told him to come out and wander around without a care, she had to blame her for forgetting to remind him, the one with the surname Shen looked at the tender skin, not knowing whether she should endure the beating or not.
When Er Pang met someone like Shen Huanzhi, who did not even open his eyes, he finally found someone to make up for his loss of face, and his face twitched, "Even if the His Majesty himself were to come, he would have to pay for it, and our rules are such that even without paying the silver, let alone staying at the Quadruple Town, you can't even stay for a moment. If you were to pass by, other than paying for lodging fees, you also have to pay Lord Li Zheng a toll, if not, you will directly smack him out, regardless of killing him!"
Shen Huanzhi was not angry, he was smiling instead, with both of his hands behind his back, "If you want to say it like that, I will not be giving you the silver anymore. How about this, find someone from your clan to come over for a chat, I have long eyes too, take a look at who he is."
