Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 643 Entrustment

Zhang Renzhi raised his eyes and asked Song Ying, "Doctor Song, after the water breaks, can you deliver the baby as soon as possible?"

We are not far from the accident site and it is not a suitable place for production.

Song Ying frowned. After the amniotic fluid broke, the sooner the better. The later, the more dangerous it would be. "Lifting her hips will slow down the flow of amniotic fluid and buy more time for the delivery."

He needed to raise his hips, so holding onto them wouldn't work. Po Yun said, "Go get those boards that were just thrown away!"

"careful!"

At this time, they had not escaped far, and Po Yun was very fast, so he brought back the wooden board in just a moment.

Song Ying took off her outer oil-silk dress and spread it on the wooden board, then said to Zhang Renzhi, "Let Sister Lingwan lie on her side."

Yuan Qing quickly took off his straw raincoat and put it on Song Ying, then put his own hat on her.

Even at this moment, Song Ying felt a warmth in his heart. His eyes fell on the small bookcase he had just taken over and he said hurriedly, "Give me the bookcase."

Yuan Qing understood what he meant and took the book box and handed it to her. Song Ying placed it under Yu Lingwan's buttocks.

Yu Lingwan hurriedly said, "No, these... contain medical books that my sister treasures. If they are... contaminated by dirty blood..."

Song Ying pressed her shoulders and said, "You can copy the dirty books again. Your sister and the child's lives are more important."

As he spoke, he had already placed the small bookcase under her hips.

When Nanny Zhang saw this, she hurriedly took off her oil-silk dress and covered the bookcase with it. After thinking for a while, she took off her coat and spread it on top to make it softer.

Tears welled up in Yu Lingwan's eyes. She wanted to say something but was interrupted by a new round of pain. Song Ying handed her a handkerchief and asked her to bite it, to prevent her from biting her tongue too painfully and to slightly block out her cries of pain.

Yuan Qing thought for a moment and said, "Brother, as Sun Tzu's Art of War says, 'When the enemy is weak, we must attack them.' The enemy has boats and is adept at water, so they must think we will stay away from the water. Why don't we do the opposite? Go down the river and find another boat to leave."

Zhang Renzhi's eyes lit up. They were women, children, scholars, and a pregnant woman. They certainly couldn't outrun those military men on foot. They might have a chance of survival if Chu Dajiang and others stopped the thieves and left by boat!

Besides, if we have a boat, our wife can also give birth!

At that moment, the three men lifted the wooden board together. Po Yun was responsible for one side alone, while Yuan Qing and Zhang Renzhi were responsible for the other side together.

Song Ying, Yanqiu and Nanny Zhang walked on both sides, and Song Ying checked on Yu Lingwan's condition from time to time.

After walking about two miles under the cover of reeds and trees, the river narrowed and turned into a hidden bend.

Under the lightning, a small black-sailed boat was quietly moored in the shade of weeping willows, with a faded red cloth hanging on the bow.

Yanqiu hurried forward to check it out. Although the boat was old, it was ingeniously designed. Even in the heavy rain, there was only a little water inside, and there was a half-filled fishing net on the bow.

Several people quickly carried Yu Lingwan inside. Po Yun didn't stop at all. He put down the plank and jumped down. "Subordinates, go cut the anchor!"

Yuan Qing quickly reminded him, "Remember to give the boatman some small change. Not too little, not too much!"

Poyun responded and admired Yuan Qing even more in his heart. He felt that Yuan Qing was worthy of being valued by his master. He had a noble character and even at this time he adhered to morality and refused to take other people's property easily.

But Yuan Qing said, "The boatman must be angry because we lost it for no reason. He will make a fuss about it and let everyone know. If the thieves see it, they might guess that we took the boat away.

Leaving enough money behind, the boatman, feeling guilty, dared not let anyone know, which helped us buy time for a while."

Po Yun was stunned, so this was why he asked him to leave money?

He asked, "Why can't you give too much?"

"Most people are timid. Giving them too much money would only make them uneasy. They're afraid of being implicated in a major crime, so they dare not accept it."

Po Yun was stunned. Even at this moment, he had to praise Yuan Qing for his understanding of human nature!

On the boat, Zhang Renzhi suddenly pulled out a blue-covered account book from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Qing. "My dear brother, this is of great importance. If I die, you must hand it over to the court."

Yuan Qing looked at the account book and didn't take it. "Brother, you..."

Song Ying tilted his head to look at the account book, and suddenly realized: "Is this why those transport troops came?"

Zhang Renzhi nodded. "Now is not the time to go into details. Once you look at this account book, you will understand what I did today."

As he said this, he bowed deeply to Yuan Qing.

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingwan suddenly grasped Ren Zhi's sleeve. The sharp pain in her stomach and the fear in her heart intertwined, and her voice changed. "My husband, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Renzhi's expression softened. He leaned over and tucked her sweat-soaked hair behind her ear. "I'm their target. If we all work together, no one can escape. You stay with Brother Yuan and the others first. I'll lead them away, and then I'll come find you once it's safe."

How could such words possibly fool Yu Lingwan? She shook her head vigorously, "No, you're weak and powerless, how can you fight those jackals? Let's go together. They won't think we're going by water, right? Let's row faster and leave here early to find the authorities. Oh, right, didn't Captain Chu say earlier that this place is not far from Dongchang Prefecture? Let's go to Dongchang Prefecture to report to the authorities!"

Zhang Renzhi smiled bitterly and wiped the tears from her eyes. "This matter is of great importance. Many officials along the way are probably already in collusion. If we rashly go there, we may very well be walking into a trap."

Yu Lingwan was trembling with panic, "Then you can't go and die!"

Zhang Renzhi's eyes were red, but he straightened his back and said in a firm voice: "As scholars, we eat the emperor's salary and should work for the benefit of the world. Why should we cherish our lives?"

Yu Lingwan was in pain and anxious. "What about our child? Chen Ge'er hasn't even met you yet, and there's also the child in my belly, and my mother-in-law is still waiting for you at home. She just lost her husband, do you want her to lose her son as well?"

By the time she finished speaking, she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Zhang Renzhi's lips trembled slightly, his Adam's apple rolling up and down a few times before he suppressed the bitterness and forced a smile. "Look at what you're saying. I'm just going to distract them, not stand there and let them slaughter me. Don't worry, I will keep my life and go back to be filial to my mother, and share the joy of family life with you and your child."

Yu Lingwan shook his head and wanted to say something else, but he had already turned to Yuan Qing and bowed deeply again: "Brother Yuan, my wife, children and this matter are all in your hands!"

Seeing how determined he was, Yu Lingwan knew she couldn't make him change his mind, so she closed her eyes in despair.

At this moment, she felt that the labor pain in her belly was not as severe as the pain in her heart.

Yuan Qing pursed his lips, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he still solemnly returned the greeting: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust."

He had guessed some of it before, but he didn't expect the matter to be so serious and those people to be so cruel as to kill people to silence them.
