Chapter 504: Axi Went Premature

The atmosphere in the air was very quiet, Nan Qinghuan squeezed his hand again and smiled, "I just went out to check everyone's seedling, Qinghuan, where did you go?"

"Seedling, what's wrong?"

He still thought she was resting; when he returned, he heard A Mu say the child wouldn't drink milk and was crying, so he prepared to soothe the child first, but Nan Qinghuan was not at home.

Nan Qinghuan hurriedly told Ying everything she knew, and Ying slightly frowned upon hearing it, "Then how do we solve it?"

"I've already thought of it: first go to the Merchant city to look for some insect‑repelling medicine; as for fertilizing this seedling, I'll think of a way, go find senior brother to see if I can mix fertilizer myself."

"Mix it yourself?"

Ying felt a bit sorry for her; the child was only born recently and still needed more rest. He had heard of a man's woman who gave birth without proper rest and was still bleeding, which made him very worried.

"Don't worry about those things; let Li Xiang handle it. What you need to do now is rest at home, I'll take care of the child, and after the confinement period ends we can go out."

Ying was constantly worried about her health, which made Nan Qinghuan feel deep affection; she gently rested her head in Ying's arms, feeling his heartbeat.

"Ying, thank you. I now feel that having a child and having you is truly happiness."

She once thought coming here was the most unlucky thing, but now she feels truly fortunate. The "wild man" she imagined is no longer wild; he knows how to pamper her, cares about her. A woman, finding a man who loves and spoils her, is really not easy.

The bottom line is, she found him.

Naturally, he will also treat her well and manage this family properly.

Ying felt satisfied inside; he gently reached out and embraced her, his palm stroking her hair back and forth—her favorite way, and also his favorite gesture.

It seemed that this could let him temporarily forget worries, forget those things that upset him.

"Qinghuan, our family will be very happy, definitely, no one can stop us from being together."

Ying held her tightly, but his words left Nan Qinghuan a little puzzled; she lifted her head to meet his gaze, and at that moment, stars twinkled in Ying's eyes.

"Ying, what do you mean by that?"

Nan Qinghuan didn't understand why he said that; Ying knew he shouldn't bring up unhappy matters, he smiled, "It's fine, don't rush the fertilizer issue; Li Xiang can do it too, let him try?"

Nan Qinghuan was about to say something when a "ding‑dong" sound suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Ding‑dong, Host, your ancient‑modification merits are boundless; a special reward of Five Hundred Beans, please claim."

Ding ding ding… Soon, the beans were credited, and Nan Qinghuan was delighted, "Got it, Ying, the insect‑repelling potion is here."

"What?"

That day, the couple went again to the long‑unvisited Merchant city; there Nan Qinghuan bought the insect‑repelling potion, and because she had some beans saved, she also let Ying pick out some things he wanted.

But the rugged man chose nothing; everything was selected for the child.

Milk powder to eat, nutritional stuff to drink, and those cute toys; when Nan Qinghuan saw them, she was instantly stunned.

"Why did you take so many things for the child? What about you? Don't you need anything?"

Ying looked very pleased; his hands were full of everything for the child, and in his view these items could be used by the child for a long time, so he was satisfied.

As for himself, it didn't matter; he wanted to leave the best for the child.

"I don't need much, Qinghuan. Are these things really good for the child?"

What diaper? What milk powder? What nutrient solution? What calcium tablets? He hadn't heard of any of these, but Nan Qinghuan told him they were all excellent for the child, so he bought them all.

Nan Qinghuan felt a bit sad and wanted to give him a hug, "Silly man, of course it's the best, but since you spent all the beans, you can't buy the steel knife you wanted."

She knew he had always wanted a steel knife that could cut iron like mud, to use when going out, but thinking of the child, Ying was reluctant to buy anything for himself.

These are all for the child.

"That's fine, we'll buy it next time. Let's go out and let the child try it to see if it's useful?"

In the Merchant city he saw a real Baby Carriage; that was a great thing, indeed far better than the one he made, but now he has no beans left to buy it.

Nan Qinghuan felt sorry for him, "Silly one, okay, once we clear the farmland of the Na Shan Tribe, we'll have more beans to use."

"Really?"

Ying looked forward to more reward beans; with those he could buy more things here. He admitted he liked everything here; it truly overturned all his preconceptions—everything was so advanced and civilized.

Nan Qinghuan was about to say something when a frantic voice from outside came—Dashan.

"Ying, Omu."

Dashan arrived; they quickly exited the space, and just as they put the items away, Dashan rushed in.

"Ying, Goddess, Axi, Axi—"

"What happened to Axi?"

The dusk hung low, the bright moon rose high.

No one expected Axi to slip while cooking; that scared Dashan badly, and she kept crying out that her stomach hurt.

Moreover, there were signs of blood on her lower body.

This made Nan Qinghuan very anxious; Axi had lost a child last time, and this time nothing more could happen.

Soon, when the couple arrived at Axi's residence, they could hear her shouting in pain from afar; Guiguang and Youchao Xuan had already arrived, examining the situation inside the house.

"Qinghuan, Qinghuan, it hurts so much, save my child!"

Axi clutched her belly, her face full of agony, looking as if death were preferable. When Nan Qinghuan entered, Guiguang, seeing her, quickly stood up, "This is troublesome; the child might not survive."

Youchao Xuan's hands were covered in fresh blood; he had just pulled down Axi's pants, and it was his first time encountering such a situation, leaving him inexperienced.

"Goddess, her child isn't ready yet, I'm afraid…"

"Qinghuan, please save my child, I beg you, I cannot lose her again…"

Axi naturally also heard them say the child might be unsalvageable; Nan Qinghuan glanced at Guiguang, then stepped forward to take Axi's pulse. When she realized the child might indeed be premature, she clenched her teeth and looked at Guiguang, "We may have to perform a C‑Section."

"C‑Section? You're crazy; that's an ancient method of C‑Section, and her child isn't full term—only six months old, too small to survive after birth."
