Xu Binghu saw this, shook his head, walked to Lian Ji’s side, his trembling hand reached under Lian Ji’s nose, hoping to detect her breath, as if waiting for a miracle to descend from the heavens.
But unfortunately, no miracle occurred.
He withdrew his fingers and suddenly fell backward, crashing into the wall.
Afterward, he looked at the midwife at the outer door, hoarsely asked, "Midwife, can ginseng dicine bring Lian Ji back?"
His tone at this mont was full of pleading, as if hoping to hear a confirming answer from the midwife.
"Sigh~" The midwife sighed deeply and shook her head.
This sigh beca the final straw that broke Xu Binghu.
He suddenly rushed outside the house, shouting loudly at the sky, "Why, why must Heaven be so cruel to , why must it take Lian Ji away from !"
He lay on the ground, crying bitterly, wailing continuously, his voice so loud it startled the birds in the distant mountains and forests.
At this mont, he curled up on the ground, like a pitiable old dog.
The midwife walked to Xu Binghu’s side and comforted, "Xu Binghu, calm down, you wouldn’t want Lian Ji to see you like this, would you?"
Hearing this, Xu Binghu suddenly got up, then knelt down on the yellow earth, clasped his hands together, and continuously kowtowed on the ground, pleading with Heaven.
"Please, Heaven, give back my Lian Ji! I am willing to give up everything, just let my Lian Ji return to my side!!!"
All of a sudden.
A teor with a white trail streaked across the sky, adding a peculiar color to the originally dark sky.
In the eyes of others, this might be an ordinary event, but to the broken Xu Binghu, it was like a god that could save everything.
He continued to kowtow towards the teor in the sky, "teor, I wish upon you, let my Lian Ji return to my side!"
"As long as Lian Ji can return to my side, I am willing to give up everything."
In these pleas, there was hoarseness, there was pleading, there was despair.
The midwife couldn’t stand it any longer and spoke to persuade.
"Xu Binghu, as a man, how can you be so easily defeated? What you should do now is give Lian Ji a proper burial, and for your unborn child."
"Making a wish to a teor, what does that look like? Can a teor really resurrect Lian Ji? Can it resurrect your unborn child?"
As soon as the midwife finished speaking.
The teor with a long tail in the sky suddenly changed direction and sped straight towards Xu Binghu’s small wooden house.
In a flash, the white teor flew to a distance of less than a hundred ters from the wooden house.
Before Xu Binghu and the midwife could react, this white teor rushed directly into the small wooden house and then beca silent.
At the sa ti.
A plump wild rabbit hopped towards Xu Binghu as if it hadn’t seen him, hopping straight for the gate.
"Thud!" The plump rabbit crashed into the post, blood flowed all over, and it stopped breathing.
Just as Xu Binghu and the midwife were unsure of what happened, suddenly, a baby’s cry ca from inside the house.
"Wah~~~~~"
This baby’s cry was extrely abrupt in the night, and it sounded textbook perfect.
The midwife, hearing this sound, imdiately reacted, dumbfounded, her professional instinct drove her to rush into the small wooden house, speaking as she ran.
"How is it possible? The baby cried? It’s crying? Could it have been born?"
Various questions appeared in her mind.
When she entered the wooden house, she saw a baby with the umbilical cord still attached, lying at the edge of the bed, wrinkled, like an old man, amniotic fluid sared over its eyes, not yet open.
At this mont.
A burst of rapid breathing was also heard in the wooden house; the midwife looked towards the sound and saw Lian Ji had reverted to her condition of labor, the intense pain making her gasp for breath.
The midwife was professional; although she did not understand what had happened to Lian Ji to bring her back from the dead, the baby’s umbilical cord was still connected to Lian Ji, so follow-up work needed to be done first.
Then, the midwife continued her delivery work.
She cut the umbilical cord, picked up the baby, and placed it on the small bed prepared beside Lian Ji.
After that, she wiped the sweat from Lian Ji’s body, allowing her to lie flat in the most comfortable position.
So far, the child lived, and Lian Ji lived.
At this mont.
Xu Binghu, who had been outside the house, finally ca to his senses, his wife, his child, both alive! Both ca back from the brink of death.
All at once, he thought of just now continuously pleading with Heaven and making a wish upon the teor.
Originally just seeking psychological comfort, or wishing for an impossibility, yet it actually ca true.
When he heard his own child’s cry coming from the small wooden house, all his emotions were instantly released, he jumped around in the yard just like the plump rabbit that had recently knocked itself dead at his doorstep.
Then, the midwife’s voice ca out.
"Xu Binghu, aren’t you coming in to see your child and wife?"
Hearing the midwife’s voice, Xu Binghu gradually stabilized his emotions, but the redness on his face still revealed how excited he truly was.
"Coming!"
Then, walking into the small wooden house, he saw Lian Ji holding their newborn child with loving eyes, her drooping eyelids clearly showing how exhausted she was.
When Lian Ji saw Xu Binghu enter, she smiled and said, "Husband, co and see our child, so adorable!"
"Okay!" Xu Binghu replied, his voice trembling.
As he walked closer, he saw the wrinkled face of the child and thought, how could it be so ugly?
But soon his eyes filled with love, and he said, "This child looks like , look at this nose, look at this mouth, look at these ears, look at these big eyes..."
After holding the child for a while, Xu Binghu handed the baby to the midwife, while looking at Xu Binghu, "What are you waiting for, go quickly and slaughter that plump rabbit to make a nutritious broth for Lian Ji!"
Xu Binghu, montarily overwheld with joy, quickly patted his head, saying, "Look at , almost forgot it."
Then, looking at Lian Ji with eyes full of love, he said, "My dear, I’ll go make a rabbit stew for you right away, to nourish you well!"
"Husband, don’t overwork yourself!" Lian Ji said.
"Hehe! How can my labor compare to all your efforts, dear!"
Saying so, he walked out of the room, carrying the rabbit that had knocked itself to death, towards the kitchen.
After a while, the midwife walked into the kitchen, having just cleaned the amniotic fluid off the baby, after giving Lian Ji a few precautions, she ca out to find Xu Binghu.
"Congratulations, congratulations! The Xu Family has an heir now!"
Xu Binghu, while slaughtering the rabbit, replied, "This is all thanks to the midwife’s help!"
The midwife blushed at Xu Binghu’s words, "I... I didn’t really do anything."
Then, full of suspicion, she said, "But it’s strange, such a thing, I’ve never seen it before, clearly there was no breath, yet life returned, and both mother and child are safe!"
Then, changing the subject, she quickly explained, "It’s not that I didn’t want Lian Ji to live, but it’s too bizarre!"
The midwife had been delivering babies for decades and had never seen such a thing. She was very confident in her professional judgnt.
Moreover, Xu Binghu had also checked Lian Ji’s breath then, and his reaction confird this matter.
Xu Binghu didn’t say much, just calmly replied, "Maybe, my sincerity moved Heaven, so it let Lian Ji co back from the gates of death."
The midwife laughed and went to Xu Binghu’s side, "This ti, I witnessed a miracle happen, sothing I haven’t seen in my decades of delivering babies, so I won’t charge you the delivery fee this ti."
Clearly, this midwife wanted to use it as hush money.
After all, Great Wilderness Border Village didn’t only have her as a midwife, and once others knew she had once made a wrong judgnt, regardless of whether it’s true then, others would have doubts about her delivery skills.
After all, no one wants soone to declare their wife dead during childbirth, especially when it’s a matter of life and death for two.
Once it gets out, her future delivery career would be over.
Xu Binghu naturally understood the midwife’s aning and replied, "Yes, thank you again, midwife!"
The midwife replied with a smile, "Alright, I’ll be going then, if there are any things you don’t understand later, feel free to ask ."
"Okay!"
