"Lost?" The old man looked her up and down and asked with concern, "Why did you come here alone? Did you come out alone?"
"No, I came out with my friends to pick mushrooms, but they got separated and I got lost." Xia Yucheng quietly threw away the stone in his hand.
"Hey! Why do girls go to the mountains to pick mushrooms? What about your friends? Are they still in the mountains?"
"She is from here. If she knows that I am lost, she should go back and notify someone to find me. Grandpa, can you please take me out?" Xia Yucheng's tone was pleading.
Although the old man has white hair and wrinkles on his face, his body is upright and full of energy. Moreover, he looks very kind-hearted.
He looked at her pitiful and embarrassed look and nodded: "Come with me! It's getting late now and it's impossible to go down the mountain. Go to my house! My wife is here, don't be afraid!"
The old man's home is on a gentle slope deep in the mountains. It consists of several blue-tiled houses. At this time, smoke is already rising from the chimney in the kitchen.
"Old lady, we have a guest!" the old man shouted into the room.
Ah Huang wandered happily in the yard, wagging his tail and barking at Xia Yucheng from time to time, but it was just a friendly bark.
The old man sat down in a bamboo chair under the eaves and took a piece of cloth to wipe the black old-fashioned shotgun.
"Here it comes, here it comes!" An old woman also wearing a blue cloth came out with a smile. When she saw Xia Yucheng, she looked around and said, "Hey! Whose girl is this? Lost in the mountains, right? She's injured.
No?"
Of course, Xia Yucheng also knew that she was in a state of embarrassment. She smiled sheepishly, shook her head and said, "Hello, mother-in-law, I got lost and fell down. It's okay!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt nauseated. She quickly waved her hands and ran outside Chaimen, bending down and letting out bursts of retching.
What exactly happened here?
She covered her chest and waited for a long time before straightening up.
"Girl, are you... okay? It's so dangerous to go hiking like this!" The old woman walked up to her, with a look of concern on her face.
"You got it?" Xia Yucheng looked back at her and asked doubtfully, "What's got it?"
The old woman smiled and said, "My child!"
She took Xia Yucheng's hand and put it on one of her own hands, then put the other hand on her pulse, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have it!"
Xia Yucheng's eyes widened and she looked at the kind and kind old woman in disbelief. She was surprised and happy. How could she say yes?
Is she dreaming? Is she living in an illusory world?
She looked at the dark woods in front of the house, and then at the old woman, with complex emotions of expectation and uneasiness hidden in her eyes.
"Mother-in-law, I...am I really...pregnant?" Her heart was beating uncontrollably. Her menstruation was late and she kept feeling nauseous and vomiting. Could it be that she was really pregnant?
Isn't it difficult for her to conceive? After taking the medicine for so long, is it the end of all the hardships?
She was a little excited, and her eyes instantly became moist.
"Girl, come here! Come to the house, let me take a good look!" The old woman took her hand and returned to the house.
There is a square wooden table in the center of the room, and four benches placed in four directions.
