Chapter 18

The Zhang Gamily had no time to pack up their things and rushed to the village’s pond. Everyone from the family was anxious. They left the second daughter-in-law to look out for the eldest daughter-in-law. 

Yang Shifeng also straightened up and looked at the distant backs of the Zhang family with a frown. The village’s pond was very deep. Only a few women who were washing their clothes usually go to the pond. They always warned the children to not play in the pond because people had drowned in it. However, the children were more disobedient and always liked to sneak out and go to the pond to play, which led to the drowning of children every year. Unexpectedly, there will be another one this year. It must be the child who secretly ran to play with the water when he saw that the adults were not at home.

Alas, he remembered that Zhang Jia’s little boy seemed to be only seven years old this year. If such a little boy passed away, the Zhang family would probably cry to death.

At this time, Yang Shifeng suddenly remembered the child who was hit by a carriage in the town last time. The child was also said to be dead by the doctor. But Shiyi rescued the child.

Oh yes, Shiyi!

Yang Shifeng suddenly remembered Shiyi’s superb medical skills. Shiyi might have a way!

“Shiyi, let’s go and have a look!” Yang Shifeng said to Shiyi as he ran up the ridge.

Shiyi lazily raised her eyelids. What are you doing? Why should we go and see him? “

Yang Shifeng threw the sickle to the ground and squatted in front of Shiyi, looking at her. “Shiyi, Xiaosheng, the eldest grandson of Uncle Zhang’s family, fell into the water. I heard that he was out of breath. Let’s go and have a look. Maybe we can save him. “

Shiyi blinked. She looked at Yang Shifeng and asked, “Are you going to save him?”

Yang Shifeng was stunned, pursed his lips, and shook his head, “I won’t, but you will.”

“Oh -” Shiyi chuckled and continued to fan her face with the leaves, “But I don’t want to go.”

“Ah? This… ” Yang Shifeng scratched his head and thought for a moment. He gently touched Shiyi’s hair and coaxed, “Shiyi, the child is going to die. He’s only seven years old. He still has a long way to go. It’s a pity for him to go like this. Shall we go and have a look? “

Unfortunately, there is no kindness in Shiyi’s nature. Even if Yang Shifeng told her that it was a pity, it was in vain. If the person she was going to look at was pleasing to the eyes, then she might have saved the child. Unfortunately, she has a bad impression of the members of the Zhang family. She didn’t forget what the woman in the Zhang family said to her just now. She heard every word and didn’t want to bother with that woman.

Shiyi plucked away Yang Shifeng’s hand. “He’s unfortunate. Do I have to save him? But why should I save him? Don’t tell me that saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda. I don’t believe it.

Shiyi’s words made Yang Shifeng sigh and rub his hands. He didn’t know what to say. Whether she wanted to save him or not, it was indeed Shiyi’s freedom. Since Shiyi doesn’t want to, forget it. He doesn’t want to force Shiyi.

Yang Shifeng once again looked in the direction of the Zhang family and shook his head in pity.

Shiyi also looked in that direction and said, “Yang Shifeng, that child has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much? You are really a kind person. “

Yang Shifeng choked. He never thought he was a good man. He just thought it would be a pity to see such a small child die. Is this what it means to be a “kind man”?

Shiyi swept Yang Shifeng’s face with the grass in her hand and deliberately asked, “Do I look bad to you?”

Yang Shifeng shook his head and looked seriously into Shiyi’s eyes. You’re not bad. Everyone has their own ideas. If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. “

From this period of time, Yang Shifeng has found that Shiyi is a person with very indifferent feelings. She will not invest in other irrelevant things or care about others’ lives and deaths. Shiyi can do things by heart, but others can’t force her to do anything.

But in Yang Shifeng’s opinion, he had never felt such a temperament was bad. Everyone has different ideas, and it’s unreasonable for Shiyi to expect a person to have the same ideas as him. Shiyi is Shiyi, and that is what makes her Shiyi.

Yang Shifeng picked up the sickle on the ground and turned around to continue cutting rice.

“Yang Shifeng, do you really want me to save that child?” Shiyi suddenly spoke behind him.

Yang Shifeng turned and looked at Shiyi with confusion.

Shiyi propped up her chin and said, “It’s not impossible for me to take a look.” Give me a reason to go, and I’ll go. “

Yang Shifeng’s eyes brightened. “Shiyi, would you really like to go?” It would be great if we could save the child. “

“Reason.”

Yang Shifeng paused, his mind moving quickly for a moment, and suddenly smiled: “Shiyi, well, if you go and have a look at the child, I’ll make you some braised meat and give you fried meatballs.” Is that okay? These two things can only be eaten in the new year, and they are very delicious. “

Shiyi’s attention naturally gravitated toward these two things, which sounded delicious and were something Shiyi had never eaten before.

Looking at Shiyi’s appearance, Yang Shifeng smiled quietly and added another chip, “Shall I make you a tofu soup? It tastes delicious.

“OK, I’ll go.” Yang Shifeng’s bargaining chip was successful. Shiyi thought Yang Shifeng’s reason was quite good, at least it attracted her.

When Yang Shifeng saw this, he secretly lifted the corners of his mouth, gently rubbed Shiyi’s hair with his big palm, bent down to pull Shiyi up, and the two ran quickly to the pond in the village.

When they arrived, the open space beside the pond had been surrounded by three people on the inner and outer floors, and people in the village talked about it one after another.

“He’s really out of breath. I have sinned! “

“A child drowned this year. This happens every year. Why don’t these children listen? “

“It must be that everyone in the family went to the field to harvest rice. As soon as no adults were watching, they ran to swim, and an accident happened. “

“Hey, you must tell the children in your family that they can’t come here to play with water. It’s too dangerous. “

“Yes, yes, we must make the children obedient when we go back.”

Yang Shifeng’s face tightened and he took Shiyi to squeeze into the crowd. He successfully squeezed in with his tall figure. As soon as he entered, he saw Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang kneeling beside the child, crying. The eldest son of Zhang kept holding the child and was extremely sad. The child in his arms was pale and had no fluctuation in his chest.

He’s out of air.

Yang Shifeng hurriedly squatted down next to Fifth Uncle Yang and said to him, “Fifth Uncle, the child may still be saved. Let Shiyi have a look. Shiyi is a doctor. “

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth, and his eyes were full of sadness. “What? Is there still hope? But… But he’s out of air… “

In order not to waste time, Yang Shifeng grabbed Fifth Uncle Zhang’s shoulder and said quickly, “Fifth Uncle, it’s better to try than to do nothing. There’s always a glimmer of hope, isn’t there? “

Fifth Uncle Zhang was a little more rational and nodded and said, “Yes, yes, it’s better to try than to do nothing. Then save the children quickly. “Eldest son, put down the Xiaosheng and let them try. “

When the eldest son of the Zhang family heard those words, a glimmer of hope also rose in his eyes. He carefully put down the child in his arms and took the initiative to make room for Shiyi, “Please save my child.”

Shiyi squatted down without saying a word, looked into the child’s eyes, and said, “Let the people around us spread out; don’t surround us!”

Although they didn’t know why they couldn’t surround them, the people of the Zhang family believed it. They immediately dispersed the people around them, and soon everyone retreated a few feet away.

Shiyi clasped the child’s mouth, let it open, stretched out two fingers, took out all the foreign objects in his mouth and nose, and then stripped off all the child’s clothes and exposed his chest.

The people around her looked at Shiyi and were too nervous to speak. They wanted to see what she was going to do, but the next scene made everyone open their eyes and cry in surprise.

Shiyi held the child’s nose with one hand and broke the child’s mouth with the other. Then, in full view of the public, she took a deep breath, bent over and covered the child’s mouth, did the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and blew hard. The next second, she raised her head, took another breath, and blew air into the child’s lungs.

After doing it several times in a row, Shiyi placed her hands on the root of the child’s sternum, and then slowly pressed down, and then quickly released, and then pressed and then released, and after doing one set, she repeated the previous action of blowing air into the child’s lungs.

Everyone around looked dumbfounded. They didn’t know what Shiyi was doing. Some people thought her brain was abnormal. What’s the meaning of kissing a child? Can you take advantage of such a young child?

Gradually, everyone began to talk about her again. Many of them felt that Shiyi was fooling around. A good child couldn’t live in peace when he died. He had to be tossed about like this. They wanted the Zhang family to make her stop quickly and stop bothering the child anymore.

The Zhang family hesitated when they heard some people’s comments. Looking at Shiyi and the children, they didn’t know what to do.

Fifth Uncle Zhang looked at Yang Shifeng in embarrassment: “Shifeng is this… Is this girl okay? “

Yang Shifeng’s eyes were firm. He comforted the Zhang family: “Uncle Zhang, even if you don’t believe Shiyi, don’t you believe me? If she’s not reliable, will I bring her to Xiaosheng for treatment? Shiyi is really a doctor with good medical skills. The last time we went to town, a child was hit by a carriage. Doctor Bai in the town said that we should prepare for the aftermath, but Shiyi saved the child. “

People were surprised and looked at Shiyi in disbelief.

Yang Shifeng didn’t want to disturb Shiyi. He continued, “Oh, my grandfather has been paralyzed for more than ten years, but Shiyi has been treating my grandpa’s legs recently. Now my grandpa’s legs can bend slightly. If you don’t believe it, you can go and see my grandpa. “

The crowd exclaimed loudly and looked at Shiyi suspiciously, but most of them believed that Yang Shifeng would not lie. They didn’t expect that this beautiful girl was still a miracle doctor. It seems that the child can really be saved.

The Zhang family now had no doubt and waited with expectation for Shiyi to make the child wake up.

In the eager eyes of the people, Shiyi calmly did rounds of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. When Shiyi pressed the child’s hand back, the child, who had been motionless and had no breath, suddenly spit out a mouthful of water, and then coughed violently.

“Woke up, woke up, he really woke up!”

“Oh, my God, he’s alive again and came back from the dead!”

“She’s really a miracle doctor. It’s great! “

The pot exploded in the crowd.


The author has something to say:

Yang Shifeng: “Shiyi, let’s go and save people.”

Shiyi: “No.”

Yang Shifeng: “If you go, I’ll make you delicious food.”

Shiyi: “OK.”

In the world of foodies, you can only talk to them by using delicious food.

    HELLOO!!! She’s NOT a doctor who has taken pledge guys!! Remember she is someone born “DURING” the apocalypse. She was used to the way of life where there are no such morals that we live in. Only running away, saving herself, fighting zombies and people coming to find her and get close to her, only to use her. Ofcourse she would have this personality. Don’t get shocked, this is normal for what she’s been through. How can you expect her to help others without anything in return when she has never done so before! She has never lived a life like ours. And I find this to be more believable and in-line with her character. I don’t agree with what some people have commented previously.
    experimented on and forcibly taught medical skills. A lab rat of sorts!!

    She was in the apocalypse, period. Give her a break and let her get use to the new world and become acquainted with the morals of a place that she’s never lived in. Everyone’s way of thinking is naturally influenced by their environment.

    I don’t understand why you guys are scolding her🤷‍♀️. She didn’t give the pledge of honour, why should she save them🤨. Why don’t you guys put yourselves in her shoes, she basically grew up in a zombie cruel world, where she has to doubt every single kindness someone gives her. And she was forced to practice medicine, remember. Her moral isn’t like us who were trained to give people helping hands without anything in return

    I disagree with all the posts above me. I like her personality! Besides, she’s not a sworn doctor remember. She didn’t give the pledge of honor to save life, she was basically forced to study medicine as something like a lab rat but she came out on top and used the skill to escape the “government” that trafficked her. AND, she came from an apocalyptic world! In that kind of world, where she not only had to survive against hordes of zombies, she still has to escape the clutches of the people running after her. Do you think she’d be a saint if she came from that kind if background?

    Not helping at this moment was sociopathic of her. Her old world still had people doing things for each other and her whole existence / creation was to save people, so it’s not a foreign concept to her. ML should also be able to speak up when something is wrong, it’s not cute that she’ll save a life only he makes her food.

      Yeah they had people doing things for each other but she also mentioned that people didn’t care for others beyond their loved ones. I agree that it wasn’t cute to have her bribed with food to save the child, but objectively I don’t necessarily disagree with her. IMO since she is aware of the situation and has the knowledge, morally she’s obligated to help, which is the reason why we don’t like her rn. If she didn’t have the knowledge or wasn’t there when the accident happened, I would say she has no moral obligation to help.

    I wonder if its okay to tell every time that she’s a doctor. Remember, it’s ancient era. What if something bad happened or people will scheme her. Anyway, thanks for the chapter

    eh, while i do believe that we should not set fire to ourself just to keep others warm, i also do not like how the fl is at the moment. i hope she’ll get a character development later. bc seeing her act like this in this chapter is kinda doesn’t sit right with me.

    i wish authors allow their male leads to conflict with their fls with this type of things.let them not see eye to eye at times. like irl couples. misunderstandings shouldn’t just be a novel’s only way to give couples conflict. differing opinions, can also be a good way to let us see who the characters are and let us see just how they’ll deal with.
