Chapter 1052: Save my child
==========
Days slowly turned into months and soon Little Bun's first birthday arrived. His birthday banquet was arranged at the end of the month and Yu Dong planned to spend most of her savings to celebrate Little Bun's birthday. However, to her surprise, she found out that the town had been closed.
The shops were not selling goods as the weather was getting hotter day by day.
Seeing the situation suddenly turning for the worse, Yu Dong heaved a sigh. After selling the vegetables in the town, Yu Dong had to return home where she took out rice, flour eggs and oil out of her space. It was a good thing that she prepared in advance and started saving rations for her family as well as the villagers or else they would be in a lot of trouble.
" Is the town closed today as well?" Shen Li asked when he saw Yu Dong taking out the ration from her space rather than bringing it back in the carriage. He had heard from the villagers that ever since the weather started to get hotter without any rain and increasing humidity, many shopkeepers have started to open their shops on alternate days.
Now the situation was so bad that the shops in the town were getting shut down one by one causing the entire town to be closed on alternate days. It was to save the resources and material from running out quickly causing more panic in the people.
Especially the shops operated by government officials.
" Yes," Yu Dong sighed. She had been trying to save as many resources as possible given that she had a village to take. But with the shops closing and open every alternate day, it was getting harder and harder to save the resources.
Upon hearing Yu Dong's words, Shen Li frowned. He rubbed his pregnant belly and looked at Yu Dong with worry. He then said, " Will everything be fine?"
Yu Dong was aware of his worries which was why she smiled and patted him on the back before saying, " Don't worry even if things get hard, I will make sure that our family will be fine."
This was something that Yu Dong was going to make sure as her family was the tipping scale for her.
" I am not worried about getting starved," Shen Li shook his head, he sat down next to Yu Dong who was taking out the resources and then said, " I am worried that if our village is the only one that has enough food and water to drink then wouldn't we suffer? The other villages might try to harm us."
They had already seen how ruthless humans could be when they were hungry. The last time they were entangled in a mess just because the path to town was blocked but now …the town was having a lack of resources itself! In such a situation wouldn't the villagers of the other villages create a ruckus?
Yu Dong was also worried about this, she knew that she couldn't keep the villagers of other villages out with just a small barricade made of wood which was why she had thought of making a kiln and making bricks and concrete to build a firm and sturdy wall.
The reason she wanted to secure the village like this was not only because she wanted to keep people out of their village but also to make sure that no one would harm them once the fields of villagers started to grow crops.
Once the crops of their village got more and more popular, Yu Dong was worried that the rest of the village would be targeted by others. If that was the case then she might as well secure the entire village, it was just that she was worried about creating bricks and concrete.
She knew how unique and rare those things were, as long as those with evil intentions found out about these two things, they would surely try to get their hands on the formula of bricks and concrete.
Just thinking about it made her head throb.
" I have thought about it," Yu Dong replied to Shen Li with a warm smile even though she was worried about the situation she could not make her husbands worry with her. As the head of the house, it was her responsibility to make sure that her pregnant husband wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Shen Li wanted to say something but then he heard someone crying outside.
" Shiyi, don't …don't worry. I will talk with Madam Yu, she …she will definitely help us. You …you don't have to be afraid. Don't be afraid."
Yu Dong raised a brow and then turned to look at Shen Li who shook his head and then stepped out of the house. As soon as the two of them stepped outside, they saw a mer with a bulging stomach lying on the ground in front of his fields, the woman beside the mer was probably his wife and she was already scared out of her wits after seeing the condition of her husband.
" W…wife, I … I can't take it anymore. The ch..child is not … it is not coming out."
The mer looked at Doctor Gu who was slightly flustered and then turned to look at his wife who was trembling.
" Doctor Gu, do something! Shiyi will die like this," the woman spoke to Doctor Gu.
Just as Doctor Gu was about to say something, Yu Dong stepped forward and then looked at the mer who was lying on the ground with an expressionless face.
"What's happening? Why is a mer with a child lying in the middle of the ground?"
Everyone surrounding the mer immediately stepped away when they saw that Yu Dong had come out of the house. When the woman saw that Yu Dong was out of her house, she looked at her with glittering eyes, it was as if she was seeing her messiah.
" I beg you, Madam Yu. Please save my husband, he was working just fine in the field but suddenly fell and went into labour but now the child is not coming out," the wife of the mer immediately pleaded to Yu Dong while sitting on her knees, this was her first husband and child. She did not want to lose either one.
So even if she was not clear about Yu Dong's skills, she still hoped that Yu Dong would be able to save her husband. After all, Yu Dong could bring the woman who almost died back to life after getting bitten by a snake!
" Alright, get up. I am not a doctor but I will take a look."
