Facing his wife's savior, Xiao Liang didn't know what to say.
He was not good at words, and even when he expressed his gratitude, he only said a few words over and over again, but Lin Mengya could tell that this brother Xiao Liang loved his wife very much.
It is said that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, but the relationship after sharing adversity can withstand the test better.
She stopped the young couple's excited movements and said gently, "Now that you two have just escaped from the predicament, you should not be too emotional. As long as you remember to take good care of yourself before making any plans, there is still a long way to go.
It is a rare fate that you two can support each other."
He Niang choked with excitement, but her strength was exhausted after being poisoned. She could only lie in her husband's arms and look at her benefactor with grateful eyes.
Brother Xiaoliang hugged his wife tightly, nodded repeatedly and said, "My benefactor is right. The greatest blessing in my life is meeting He Niang. When my benefactor saved He Niang, he saved our family. From now on, I will just be a cow and a horse."
I will also repay my benefactor for this kindness."
Lin Mengya thought for a moment and then reminded, "Those things can be put aside for a while. I think the most important thing now is your wife's body. You two should know that, right? He Niang was pregnant before and later had a miscarriage."
"
As soon as this matter was mentioned, unspeakable pain appeared on the faces of the couple. ??
Brother Xiaoliang clenched his fists and said with self-blame, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on taking revenge on those people, Mother He wouldn't either."
He Niang's thin and frail body trembled slightly, and she couldn't bear it any longer, and two tears fell from her eyes.
After all, it was their parents who failed to protect their child, so that child left them.
Lin Mengya sighed, people are always like this, only after losing something will they know how to cherish it.
"I won't say much else. It's just that after the miscarriage of the child, Mother He has not taken good care of her health, so it may be difficult to have children in the future."
Lin Mengya understood best how much ancient people valued heirs, and there were only a few couples like Wushuang and Bai Su.
Telling her now is also to prepare the couple mentally, because some of the medicines she takes may affect their bodies. She doesn't want to complain later.
When the two of them heard this, they felt even more sad.
But what they are sad about is not that they may not be able to have children in the future, but that the child they lost will never come back.
In the end, Brother Xiaoliang hugged his wife and said firmly to her, "Mother He, don't worry, even if we two don't have children in the future, I will
We will raise the next generation of our family as our own children. When we are old, we will rely on each other. I will take care of you and you will take care of me. How about we die together?"
He Niang could no longer cry. She just shed tears silently and kept stroking her sunken belly with her hands.
"Okay, Brother Xiaoliang, from now on it will be just the two of us."
They will never forget that child. That little one only lived in her belly for a few months and left in a hurry before he had a chance to see the world.
When they were alive, they were a family of two, but when they died, they were a family of three.
After thinking about it this way, the couple felt that death was not so scary.
Lin Mengya sighed, alas, it’s true that the hemp rope only picks out the thinnest places to break, and bad luck only seeks out the poor.
All she can do is cure the couple so that they can live healthy for decades more.
For the rest, we can only see what God wants.
But what Lin Mengya didn't know was that because she accidentally discovered He Niang's poisoning, she controlled the situation in time, so most people escaped without knowing it.
But I don’t know if God has eyes, or if there is a destiny somewhere.
Those slave traders were inadvertently contaminated with He Niang's blood and thus became infected with this toxin.
In addition, they were worried and mistakenly thought that they had an epidemic, and those who were captured by them drank the antidote mixed with ginger soup after boarding the ship, so they were fine.
But this group of people were all tortured by Lin Mengya's medicine. After returning to the island, they spent all their money on seeking medical advice, but the doctor was just a man of honor.
Seeing Qian's face, he prescribed a lot of medicine to them indiscriminately.
After that, not only did their disease not get better, but it also tended to get worse and worse. It was then that they realized that they might have been deceived by this doctor.
But by that time, they no longer had the ability to sail back, and they could only live in the boat as despised by others. In the end, the poison on He Niang also made them suffer a lot, and they became neither human nor ghosts, which can be regarded as suffering.
retribution.
However, this is all a matter for the future.
In recent days, the weather has been calm, and their journey has rarely become leisurely.
But Lin Mengya and the others did not let go
Don't let your guard down. After all, this is the ocean. Nature may turn its back on you anytime and anywhere. All they can do is take precautions before they happen.
But for old people like Ah Qing and others who make a living at sea, this is the face given by the Poseidon.
"If you ask me, it's because of Miss Huo's kindness that you rescued all these people. The Poseidon Goddess will naturally bless us to reach the Iron Ore Island smoothly."
On the deck, Ah Qing, who had just finished teaching, was eating fruit and chatting with Lin Mengya and the others. .??.
The fruits are replenished on the island. Although the freshness is not high, it is already a rare delicacy at sea.
Lin Mengya took her three babies, Ah Qing and Aunt Fang, to play on the deck. The two older babies were running and jumping non-stop.
Only Xiao Fubao, everyone in the family knows that this little girl loves to sleep.
Even Ah Qing was surprised when she saw it for the first time. In her impression, children at this age are very energetic, and some can even cry all night.
She had never seen such an obedient baby who did nothing but sleep and eat all day long.
He was very well-behaved even when he pooped, which was completely different from the brat she remembered.
She walked over, leaned in front of little Fubao, and gently and tentatively touched the baby's delicate face with the little finger of her left hand.
Unexpectedly, the little girl suddenly stretched out a small paw and grabbed her little finger.
Those beautiful big eyes opened, then snapped shut after seeing a familiar person, but the fragrant and soft little white claws were always holding her little finger, which contrasted with her rough and dark eyes.
His big hands are like bear paws.
People like them who make a living at sea are like this.
But at this moment she felt a little inferior.
In fact, it’s not that I have low self-esteem. The main reason is that I feel that I should take good care of myself to avoid damaging the little one’s delicate skin.
With a small claw slightly larger than her thumb, she could break free with just a little effort, but she didn't want to let it go.
Silently squatting next to little Fubao's cradle, smelling the fragrance of milk on the little guy, she was like a satiated beast, looking at the milky cub greedily.
Ah, this little baby is so cute!
Lin Mengya had already seen the interaction between A Qing and her little girl.
Hehe! As expected, her daughter is invincible!
He took Ah Qing into his pocket so easily, she is worthy of being her daughter
!
Not long after, someone came over to report. As soon as he opened his mouth, Ah Qing glared at him.
"Keep your voice down, didn't you see little Fubao sleeping?"
The Tie brothers, who were glared at, automatically lowered their voices, but they were used to loud voices, so even if they lowered their voices deliberately, the voices were still very clear.
"Miss Huo, we should reach our island soon. The idea of our two brothers is that we go back in a small boat first, discuss it with our elders, and then invite a big boat to come closer. What do you think?"
Lin Mengya nodded.
This is understandable. For such a big ship, she is very eye-catching no matter which island she is near.
If it is the kind of island that relies on replenishing supplies and making money from traveling merchants, then that's it.
Iron Ore Island, no, to be precise, the people on this island call it "Xuanhuo Island". This island actually belongs to other people's private islands. If they want to get close, they'd better get the owner's
Agree to avoid misunderstanding.
"That's fine. By the way, Bai Su, go and get the gifts we have prepared for the elders of the Iron Clan, and let the two brothers take them back first. They will be regarded as my meeting gifts for the elders on the island."
As the saying goes, if you are polite to many people, you will not be surprised.
If she can express her goodwill first, then even if the people on the island disagree, at least she won't have any bad feeling towards them. If the business cannot be done without righteousness, even if there is no
If you can cooperate, at least you can't make enemies with others.
When the Tie brothers heard this, they waved their hands and refused.
"How can this be possible?"
"Yes! Miss Huo, this is absolutely impossible! We two brothers have put a lot of effort into eating and drinking on the boat. We can't take any more of your things!"
Although the two brothers are vigilant, they are not the kind of people who ignore good and evil.
In recent days, they have also been observing the Huo family's behavior.
If they were still in a wait-and-see state before, but since Lin Mengya and the others rescued the slaves, the two brothers' hearts have completely shifted towards the Huo family.
As for why, it must have something to do with their own family, but Lin Mengya still doesn't know anything about it yet.
But no matter how much the two brothers refused, Lin Mengya still packed them many gifts.
These things may seem like a lot, but in fact, nothing is too expensive. They are all things that can be used in daily life, and they are definitely the kind of gifts that will give you face.
