Chapter 114 The Moon of Yesteryear
However, before the investigation results were available, the ex-wife arrived in Yan'an with the refugees and found this place after asking around.
At that time, Xie Ning was bringing a bag of brown sugar to visit Wu Li. She had gone out to do a task after the meeting that day.
Because the arsenal jointly built and managed with the Kuomintang was bombed by the Japanese army just a few months after Xie Ning and his men left, the relationship between the two parties is now very tense.
Her purpose was to appease people and ease tensions. Fortunately, the arsenal was located in the mountains, so only a small portion was damaged, and it was relocated immediately after the bombing.
The location of the arsenal was leaked, and an investigation revealed that Xu Ji had betrayed him. During his escape, Xu Ji was killed by one of his subordinates, Yu Qin. As a result, the trail went cold, and it became impossible to know whether there were any other spies in the factory besides Xu Ji.
Because of this incident, the factory manager He, who was sent by the Kuomintang, was transferred and replaced by a more serious factory manager. Xie Ning only helped restore workshop management and manufacturing. As for the investigation between them, she had no say in it.
In January, the Kuomintang's Fifth Plenary Session, in addition to the issue of the War of Resistance against Japan, also had the policy of "dissolving industry, preventing industry, restricting industry, and opposing industry," and our side also expressed its attitude of cooperating with the Kuomintang but not merging with it.
Therefore, Xie Ning was even less willing to stay with the Kuomintang, otherwise he might not be able to return. This return journey was indeed more difficult than before.
They encountered three groups of bandits on their journey. Although they were called bandits, everyone knew exactly who they were.
Upon hearing that Shen Quezhi's ex-wife had arrived, Wu Li, who was already over eight months pregnant, was so startled that her water broke. "I...I, my water broke, I'm going into labor."
Wu Li gripped Xie Ning's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xie Ning carried Wu Li onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and said to Er Niu outside, "Er Niu, go boil some water and cook some brown sugar eggs."
Then he said to the woman who had just mentioned that Shen Que's ex-wife had arrived, "Please trouble you to go to the hospital and call Dr. Shen."
The older sister was terrified, her face turning deathly pale, and a wave of guilt washed over her. "I...I'll go right now," she cried, and ran as fast as she could towards the hospital.
Wu Li felt waves of pain below her body. She could no longer hear Er Niu's voice outside. She looked at Xie Ning through teary eyes, terrified.
"Bear with it for a bit, I'll go to my yard to get my tools." The two houses weren't far apart, much closer than the hospital. Xie Ning ran back and forth in less than six minutes. She went back to retrieve her medicine box from her spatial storage.
After all, she can't just conjure things up out of thin air.
Wu Li's face contorted in pain, but Xie Ning didn't give her a painkiller injection. After all, this was just the beginning. Xie Ning pulled down Wu Li's pants, looked down to see how many centimeters her cervix was dilated, and then sterilized scissors and other tools.
Follow my breathing instructions in a moment, okay?
"Um......"
Erniu carried hot water in and out, her hands trembling. She had never seen a woman give birth before; it was terrifying!
Then, hearing Wu Li's piercing scream, she almost dropped the basin in fright, only to hear Xie Ning's voice, "It's out...it's out..."
Xie Ning cut the baby's umbilical cord, then cleaned the baby's mouth and patted him until the baby cried loudly. "He's a very healthy boy."
Hearing this, Wu Li felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep.
