Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 644 Farewell

After receiving Yuan Qing's promise, Zhang Renzhi looked at Song Ying again and bowed deeply to the ground. "Doctor Song, I beg you to use your wisdom to save my wife from this bloody disaster. I will be grateful to you."

"Don't worry, Master Zhang. Sister Lingwan treats me like a sister. As a doctor, I will do my best even if I meet a stranger."

"Thank you!" Zhang Renzhi thanked him again, gave some instructions to Nanny Zhang and Yanqiu, then stood up and left the cabin.

Yu Lingwan felt a pain in her stomach and heart. She clung to the side of the boat, staring at Zhang Renzhi's figure, and pleaded, "My husband."

In the wind and rain, Zhang Renzhi's figure swayed, but he didn't turn his head. He said to Poyun, who was collecting the cables on the deck, "Poyun, you stay and protect their safety."

Po Yun knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice hoarse but every word resonant: "Master, I must follow you! You gave me my life, and I swore an oath long ago that I will follow you wherever you go in this life!"

As he spoke, he turned sideways and said to Yu Lingwan in the cabin, "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely protect the master's safety. As long as I am still breathing, I will never let the thieves harm the master!"

In despair, Yu Lingwan seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope and nodded vigorously: "Husband, take Poyun with you!"

She endured the pain, grabbed the side of the boat and stood up with difficulty, "If you don't agree, I will go with you!"

Zhang Renzhi paused, and finally turned around. Through the pouring rain and the dark night, he saw his wife's face as pale as paper, but her eyes were determined.

In his peripheral vision, Po Yun was kneeling straight with a determined look on his face.

He closed his eyes and finally gave in: "Follow closely."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped off the boat.

Poyun kowtowed to Yu Lingwan, stood up and followed.

Yuan Qing chased them out, stood on the deck, and bowed deeply to the backs of the two men.

Unable to see Zhang Renzhi, Yu Lingwan could no longer hold on and fell down.

"Mrs!"

"Sister Lingwan!"

"Mrs!"

"Shh~" Yu Lingwan's forehead was covered with sweat, but she hurriedly stopped the three people, "Keep your voice down, don't let him hear, or he won't feel at ease when he leaves."

Song Ying's heart was heavy, and her eyes were hazy. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and said in a deep voice, "I will deliver your baby. You have to hold on, so that you can be reunited with Master Zhang one day!"

Yu Lingwan bit her lower lip tightly and forced a smile. "That's right, I will hold on and wait for the day I can reunite with my husband! Sister, I leave the child and I in your care."

At the door, Yuan Qing knocked on the boat wall and handed over a fish lantern, "I found a lantern."

"Great!" Nanny Zhang was delighted and added, "Fishermen in this area usually have cooking utensils on their boats. I'll go get them! Maybe they have cuttlebone powder and sea snake wine to stop the bleeding!"

Yanqiu explained, "Madam Zhang is from Mindi and grew up in a water town. It is said that they usually travel by boat."

"Is it also burned with dragon oil?" Song Ying asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Nanny Zhang responded as she lit the fish lantern and began to search in the boat.

Clay stove cooking utensils, small copper kettle, iron plate,

Song Ying nodded, and together with Nanny Zhang and Yanqiu, they began to clean up the cabin. They first drained out the accumulated water, and then searched for usable cuttlebone powder and sea snake wine. She also found a horseshoe crab shell, saying that fishermen used it as a birthing basin.

Looking at these things, Song Ying felt more confident about the delivery. He took out the silver needle and took out a ginseng from the small box where the medical books were kept. This was originally brought with them just in case when they were on the road.

As a man, Yuan Qing was not able to enter the cabin at this time, so he rowed outside, trying to stay as far away as possible.

Nanny Zhang disliked Yanqiu because she was an unmarried woman and had no experience, so she drove her out to row the boat, leaving only her and Song Ying, the midwife, in the boat.

Rumble!

Pale lightning split the sky, suddenly illuminating the entire river surface. Muffled thunder rolled deep in the clouds, as if thousands of troops were fighting in the sky.

Chen San was awakened by thunder. Raindrops were hitting the thatched roof. Thinking of his dilapidated fishing boat, he was still worried and groped his way to get up.

That is the food for the whole family. If it gets too much water in it and sinks, that would be terrible!

After putting on his straw raincoat and bamboo hat, he pushed open the door. A gust of wind carrying moisture blew in his face, making him shiver.

He pulled down the edge of his hat and went out with the fishing lantern. The wind was blowing so hard that he staggered. He braved the wind and rain all the way and finally arrived at the river bay where the boat was moored, but he could not find his own fishing boat.

Chen San thought he had come to the wrong place, so he raised his fishing light to check his surroundings. "Yes, where is my fishing boat?"

He was a little panicked. He searched for the place where the fishing boat was anchored in his memory and groped his way underwater. He searched the area back and forth but didn't see any trace of the fishing boat. However, he found a four-claw iron anchor with the rope on it broken neatly, obviously cut by someone with a knife.

Chen San flew into a rage. He stood in knee-deep water and cursed, "Which unscrupulous bastard stole my boat? My father paid for it with his life! You son of a bitch, if I catch you, I'll stuff you into a mackerel cage and sink you into the sea! Let you, my son of a bitch, taste the Dragon King's dirty tricks..."

Another flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shiny object on the willow branches hanging in front of him while he was cursing.

He subconsciously held up the fish lantern and took a closer look. It looked like a purse with patterns embroidered with silver thread.

Only rich people can afford a purse embroidered with silver thread!

Chen San's heart skipped a beat. He walked over quickly and took a closer look while holding up the fish lantern. It was indeed a purse embroidered with silver coins, bulging with it, and tied to a willow branch with a tight thin rope.

Chen San's heart began to pound. He dropped the four-claw iron anchor and directly pulled the purse down. Because he used too much force, his palm was stained with a lot of green willow juice.

Feeling the shape of the ingot in his palm, he ignored everything else, stuffed the purse into his arms, turned around and ran home.

Chen San ran home in one breath, his heart still pounding. He opened his purse tremblingly, and his eyes immediately widened: Wow, a silver ingot of fifty taels!

He stuffed the purse into his arms again, holding it tightly against his chest, feeling the soft touch of the purse.

After a full cup of tea, he finally calmed down, took out the silver ingot again, and thought about what happened tonight.

The purse was tied to a willow branch, so it definitely wasn't dropped by someone else. Considering that the boat was gone, it was obvious that his boat was taken away and the other party left money to buy it.

Fifty taels! His family's fishing boat was only worth twenty taels when he bought it, and it has been used for so many years that it is already in tatters. It would be good if it can be sold for five taels of silver now.

Chen San was overjoyed and hurriedly woke up his sleeping wife, "Old lady! I've made a fortune! I've met the God of Wealth..."
