"Premature birth?" The patriarch's face looked even more grim. None of his husband could be present when his daughter-in-law gave birth. "I...I'll go ask the doctor..."
"Oh, old man, don't go. It's dangerous over there! We managed to escape with great difficulty..." Mrs. An almost cried. "Youcai has already gone to see Mrs. Gao Bai. She has experience in delivering babies and will be here soon!"
"Okay... okay!" the patriarch responded in a low voice, and then looked at his sons aside, "You three, please stay away!"
Xia Qiyue calmed down the children and calmed down her sister before she dared to leave them aside and come over to see Liu Jiajia.
"Sister Qiyue, you are finally here, I...I am going to die, wuwuwu..."
Liu Jiajia was lying there, with the An Wang family next to her. When Xia Qiyue came over, the patriarch had already taken his sons to borrow bedding. If the daughter-in-law was going to give birth soon, she would at least have to surround her to block her.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's okay. Maybe it's just fetal gas. You scared me. It's okay! It'll be fine in a while!"
Although the original owner had given birth to two children, Xia Qiyue could also find that feeling in her memory, but she still didn't quite understand it. However, in order to comfort Liu Jiajia, she had to act like she was very experienced.
"Sister Qiyue, it hurts too much, it hurts too much...wuwuwuwu, I'm going to die..."
Liu Jiajia would turn over and over again and would say that she was in too much pain.
"Aunt...has your amniotic water broken? Have you seen any redness?" Xia Qiyue was frightened and quickly asked Mrs. An on the side.
"Not yet, maybe it's the fetal movement, but I don't know how to correct the fetal position, so I'm afraid I'm going to give birth prematurely..."
It was more than 20 minutes after Gao Bai and An Qian were found. Both of them had some injuries. Gao Bai had a large burn on the back of her hand, but as soon as she came over, she didn't care about her wounds.
He quickly asked Liu Jiajia to lie on her back and began to examine her.
"The fetal position has been moved. I will try to correct the fetal position. If it doesn't work, I have to deliver the baby. You can't keep dragging it like this. The talented family is in danger!" Mrs. Gaobai raised her head and said sweatingly, "Sister-in-law Qian,
Please help me!"
An Qian immediately knelt down to help her, and the two of them rubbed Liu Jiajia's belly. Xia Qianqian couldn't understand, so she could only do something she could do.
She returned to her younger siblings, and while no one was paying attention, she quickly took out a few hard-boiled eggs from her space. There was no brown sugar in her space, so she could only put the prepared white sugar water in another water bag, and then took it out.
He took out two meat buns and hurriedly sent them to Liu Jiajia.
Since everyone knew that she had money on her, and since Maoshan Town was not affected by the disaster, she could buy anything, no one would doubt her when she took out these things.
"Jiajia, eat quickly! It won't hurt anymore when you have strength!"
Sure enough, when she saw eggs and steamed buns, Liu Jiajia lay down and started eating, forgetting to complain about the pain.
Xia Qiyue stood aside with a water bag. When Liu Jiajia took a few mouthfuls, she put the water bag at her mouth to give her water.
After drinking so sweetly, Liu Jiajia glanced at Xia Qiyue in shock.
"Eat quickly, it's important to replenish your strength!" Xia Qiyue urged.
"Thank you...Thank you sister Qiyue...wuwu..." Liu Jiajia's face was full of tears, and her mouth was full of eggs. She slurred her words and said her thanks while crying and eating.
It's almost unbelievable that when a woman gives birth to a child, she really goes through hell, and if she's not careful, she won't be able to come back.
After about half an hour, Liu Jiajia's voice softened and she gradually fell asleep from exhaustion.
"The fetus is in the right position, so it's unlikely that she will give birth. Sister-in-law Wang, please take good care of her... I... our daughter-in-law is also injured. I have to go back and take a look..." Mrs. Gaobai was sweating profusely, but she didn't dare for a moment.
After delaying, he ran back.
Mrs. An Qian was not in a hurry to leave, and she and Mrs. An Wang stayed by Liu Jiajia's side.
Seeing that everything was okay, Xia Qiyue returned to the children. Xia Qiyue sat on the ground with her two children, but did not dare to sleep anymore.
She was afraid that she would be shaken again and die in her sleep when she fell asleep.
"It's cold on the ground. Get up and I'll make a mattress for you!" After Xia Qiyue finished speaking, she successfully took out the old mattress while it was pitch black and couldn't see anything.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ke'er asked softly.
"never mind…"
I originally wanted to buy a carriage, but now... well, it's nothing...
Until daybreak, Li Zheng and the clan leader went to find the guardian again.
Everyone waited for half a morning, but what they found was that the guards couldn't take care of them at all, and the losses in Maoshan Town were quite heavy.
"We can only go to the capital. There must be someone at the emperor's feet..."
Li Zheng decided that everyone must prepare to go on their way, regardless of whether they were injured or not.
After all, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will be freezing in a month. The further north you go, the colder it gets. Although there is no shortage of water on the road ahead, the bedding, clothing, and luggage will be burned to pieces, making the conditions even more difficult.
"It's already noon, shall we set off tomorrow?" The clan leader asked Li Zheng's opinion.
Because in Shanbei Zhuangzi, these two people are the backbone, and now everyone is like a headless fly, relying only on Li Zheng and the clan leader for support.
"Okay, those who have money can quickly go to the city to buy some rations and come back. How can we survive without rations on the way?"
Those families with a little money, after listening to Li Zheng's advice, asked the uninjured family members to buy food rations and supplies. If they had enough money, they also bought some bedding and other things.
And for those who don’t have much money on hand and can’t find a way to cry, there is An Lao Zhuang’s family here.
An Lao Zhuang's eldest son was injured when he encountered a pack of wolves. He was treated for two days but failed to return. His money was wasted and he died.
During the Earth Dragon's Turn last night, although there were many men in the house, all the bedding and clothing were snatched back, but they didn't have much food rations, so it was difficult for the whole family to handle this journey.
"When will I be the boss... Wuwuwuwu, I want to go home!" Wang Dazuizi was the first to not hold back, crying and calling her to go home.
Then it was like opening a faucet valve, and one after another people wanted to go home.
"It's better to be at home than to be buried in a foreign land! I will die at home!"
"Yes! Let's go home! I'm not going to the capital. I don't know how long this journey will take. It's okay for the officials to take care of us when we go to the capital. But if no one takes care of us like now, we will still be dead!"
Once you have such an idea, it is like a wildfire that spreads uncontrollably.
But Li Zhengyouyou gave a bad news: "The center of Earth Dragon's transformation this time is Liulin County. It's not even sure whether our Shanbei Zhuangzi is still there! There is only one way in front of us. Let's go to the capital to try our luck, or die on the way."
!”
The way to survive is right in front of you. If you can't get to the capital, you will starve and freeze to death.
"Sijin, come here!" Xia Qiyue waved to An Sijin, who was standing helplessly next to his mother.
"What's wrong, Fourth Sister-in-law?" An Sijin hurriedly ran over.
"You take this money first. It's the wages I gave you in advance, and it's also to thank you for coming to save us in time last night!"
