It was getting dark, and Yu Linglong led Ye Yun and the two of them to the wooden house where they lived.
Zuo Qiu's arrangement was very good. Considering that Yu Linglong's belly was getting bigger and bigger, she could no longer do many things by herself. Some time ago, she asked Gesang for help. Gesang arranged for two old women with childbirth experience to take care of them nearby.
They are good people who take care of people. They are all immigrants from Tianhuo Dong of the Miao ethnic group. Gesang has known them since he was a child. However, Gesang is a cultivator, and his appearance will not change much in another hundred or two hundred years.
These two of hers
My playmates when I was young are now grandmothers. In the difficult life in the mountains, their youth has been gradually worn away by the wasted years.
These two old ladies are quite strange. The old lady named Danzhu is not tall, with a short figure and a huge waist.
The old woman named Zama is thin and tall. She seems to stand out among the women around her. The average height of the various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang is lower than that of the people of the Central and Western Regions. There are two main reasons for this.
Firstly, it is due to geographical reasons. Southern Xinjiang is full of mountains. People in Southern Xinjiang are destined to walk on mountain roads from birth. In order to adapt to life in the mountains and forests, they chase prey.
, their legs began to slowly degenerate. The blood in the body was passed down from ancestors to the next generation. Therefore, both men and women in southern Xinjiang are generally not tall.
Take Gesang, for example, who is regarded as the most outstanding young woman in southern Xinjiang. She is relatively short. If Bailiyuan stood next to her, she would be more than half a head taller than her.
The second reason why people in southern Xinjiang are not tall is their diet. The Shiwanda Mountains provide them with abundant meat, but they lack dairy products, grains, fruits and vegetables. Their lives are not as good as those of the people in Central China.
Of course, it is not that there are no tall people in Southern Xinjiang, but only very few. Only about two people can reach the height ratio of Middle Earth. Only one or two people out of a hundred or ten people will have particularly outstanding height.
For example, the war slaves around Gesang, such as the man who slept with Yang Juaner for several months, was called Amulei, a giant Zhuang man.
Another example is the middle-aged woman named Zama in front of Ye Xiaochuan.
Danzhu and Zama could speak some simple Chinese dialects before. In order to take care of Yu Linglong during this period, they learned some more from a few old Zhuang women they knew well, and they were able to cope with their daily interactions with Yu Linglong.
.
Danzhu and Zama, who saw Yu Linglong bringing two people over and preparing dinner, immediately became unhappy. Although there was food relief from the Middle Kingdom, most of the food was distributed to the young warriors who went on the expedition. As strategic leaders,
There are not many grain reserves in the rear area. Wanyuan Mountain was called Yuanlong Mountain half a year ago. The reason why the name was changed is because this place
More and more people gathered, already exceeding 10,000 people. In order to get good luck, the tall Yuanlong Mountain near the camp was changed to Wan Yuan Mountain.
The population is increasing every month, but the food supply is not increasing much. Therefore, the women and children here live a relatively poor life. They can barely provide food and clothing for pregnant women and babies. Most women are in a state of hunger or semi-starvation.
There was no food left in the rice vat. A large piece of bacon hung on the beam was for Yu Linglong to replenish her health. So when she saw Yu Linglong leading two people to eat, the Miao girl, who had always been hospitable,
Their faces dropped. Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou looked at the simple wooden house where Yu Linglong lived. There wasn't even a candle, and there was only half a bowl of lamp oil left in the black oil lamp. It was already dark, and they couldn't bear to light it.
, just burn a few pieces of rotten wood in an old iron basin to take photos.
Keep warm.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Your living environment is too shabby, and the hygiene is not good. The kitchen and bedroom are all in a wooden house, which is not good for babies." Yu Linglong sat down with Danzhu's support, with a big belly.
On a wooden stool, he said: "Master Ye really doesn't feel pain in his back when he stands and talks. I also want to live in a five-star luxury imperial suite. I have to have that condition. The conditions in Shiwanda Mountain are already difficult. I can be here
I am content to raise my baby with peace of mind and wait for the delivery. But food is a bit scarce, so I can only treat you to a bowl of porridge. Speaking of Ye Daxia, you can bring some more food to southern Xinjiang. Since the war started, the Buddhist monks and nuns
We no longer send food here. Everyone left their former homes with their families and came to the western part of the mountains. The food was given to the men who went to the front to fight. The life of women and children in the rear was really miserable." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ye Xiaochuan said
I will never believe that the lives of these women and children in the relatively stable strategic rear area are so miserable. It has entered winter now. Although the winter in southern Xinjiang is not as cold as that in Central China, it occasionally gets colder.
There will be some snow.
Ye Xiaochuan felt that southern Xinjiang lacked more than just food. Looking at Yu Linglong's wooden house with bare walls, he could imagine that other women and children in southern Xinjiang might not have enough food and bedding for the coming winter.
It's just that the interruption of the grain road cannot be solved in a short time. The six tribes of heaven and humans have already left the southern border and are watching eagerly along the Yingzui Cliff. It is difficult for the Buddhist nuns and monks to transport grain here again.
However, we cannot just watch tens of millions of women and children from the five ethnic groups in this state of semi-starvation.
So he nodded and said: "I will think of a way to deal with the food issue. Although the Sixth Department of Heaven and Humanity has blocked the connection between Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, the area of Shiwanda Mountain is so large that cultivators should be able to find gaps to enter and exit."
of."
Pregnant women should not be treated badly. Ye Xiaochuan took out the half of the deer from the Qiankun bag that he was reluctant to eat last night. He also took out a lot of rice flour, as well as a lot of bacon and salted fish, and piled them all in the wooden house.
He first entered southern Xinjiang and purchased it in Xifeng City and Yulong Village. At that time, there were more than 300 disciples of the Zhengdao sects who entered the mountain. Ye Xiaochuan purchased more than one grain, including dried meat and snacks.
Several sacks, planning to buy them
Shanhou and Wangcai ate together. They ate almost enough in the jade slip hiding cave. When they came out, they found other people to replenish some, and now they all contributed. Danzhu and Zama, who had just shamed Ye Xiaochuan.
, his eyes widened immediately when he saw that Ye Xiaochuan had brought out so much food supplies. Then he bowed to Ye Xiaochuan excitedly, and kept speaking poor Chinese language to express his gratitude.
Thanks.
Yu Linglong sat lazily on the wooden stool, looking at Ye Xiaochuan, and said: "Why are you pitying me? I, Yu Linglong, will not starve to death." Ye Xiaochuan said: "You and I are incompatible with good and evil after all. You
I really don't care about your life or death, but the child in your belly is innocent. Since you chose to give birth to him, you must be responsible for him to the end. Raising a child is not easy, and you must keep up with the diet and nutrition.
