Ayinong paced back and forth anxiously. There were many people crowded in the front yard, all waiting for news.
"Ah...!" A scream came from the backyard, and everyone's heart tightened. Ayinong clenched his fists and punched the pillar hard, causing a lot of thatch on the roof to fall.
Abang said: "Chief, don't worry, Luyi is auspicious and everything will be fine." Ayinong glared at Abang, who quickly shut up and stepped back.
Women from the whole village came to help, bringing in basins of hot water and basins of bloody water. It had been half an hour since the morning, and the situation in the backyard was getting more and more interesting.
An ominous premonition.
"Have the medical officer and Mrs. Wen arrived?" A woman poked her head out from behind the cotton curtain in the back room, with an anxious look on her face: "Hurry up, send someone to hurry up!"
Ayinong glared at Abang again, and Abang quickly agreed and ran out the door.
Starting from this morning, Lu Yi complained that she had a stomachache. After counting the days, it was time to give birth. This was a major event for the entire village and even Dujiangyan. This child belongs to Su Ren. With him, the Bo people of Dujiangyan will have a good life. If this
If something happens to the child, who knows what Su Ren will do.
"Come on, come on!" Abang rushed through the gate with an old lady on his back, and two children dragging the medical officer behind him. He didn't bother to wipe his sweat, and walked through the crowd and went to the backyard. If it weren't for a few women
No one stopped him, but Ah Bang was able to carry Wen Po to Lu Yi's bed.
"Ah...!" The screams became louder and louder, and everyone in the yard raised their hearts to their throats. Ayinong calmed down and turned around a few times. He really didn't want to hear his daughter's screams anymore.
, stamped his feet fiercely, and walked towards the door. No one dared to stop him, so he consciously made way for Ayinong, and watched Ayinong leave the courtyard.
In front of the house is the field that was just opened the year before last. After harvesting the rice, the water was drained. The mud was turned over by the sun and cold, and the pieces were both regular and beautiful. Squatting on the edge of the field, Ayinong sighed. At that time,
Lu Yi wanted to follow Su Ren to the Qiang land, but he was unwilling. In the end, he went, just go, and even brought himself in. Ayinong didn't care about the family style. What he was thinking about now was how to deal with those people.
People explain.
Even though he was outside the door, Ayinong kept looking back, it must be his daughter.
A fast horse rushed over along the village road. The hard dirt road had not been moistened by rain for a long time and became dry. The horse's hooves stepped on it and kicked up a cloud of dust. It was a black horse, strong and strong. Ayinong
I thought the horse looked familiar, and after looking at it for a long time, I finally remembered it. I quickly got up and stood in the middle of the road waiting for the horse to arrive.
"Hey...!" Hawking brought the reins and the big black horse braked suddenly and circled around Ayinong. The huge horse's head shook up and down to show his excitement. He raised his legs and jumped off the horse: "Why is the patriarch here?
What are you looking at here?"
Ayinong shook his head and looked into the room. Hawking followed Ayinong's gaze and saw the crowd in the yard: "What's going on? What happened?"
"Ah...!" A scream came from the yard, the sound was very loud, and Hawking standing on the road could hear it clearly. This scream was very miserable, and it was filled with great pain.
Hawking pulled out his weapon with a "choking" sound, turned around and was about to enter the house.
Ayinong grabbed him and said, "Luyi is giving birth, don't go in!"
"What? Really?" Hawking's face immediately became excited, and he could no longer care about Ayinong. He turned around and rushed into the house, shouting as he rushed: "Sister-in-law, please work harder, big brother is coming."
On the way, I will tell my brother the good news!"
After shouting this, he turned around and came out again. Without any pause, he got on his horse and drove away along the road he came from. Even though he was far away, he could hear Hawking's unrestrained laughter.
When Su Ren heard the news about Hawking, he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't recover for a long time. Sima Xiangru patted Su Ren on the shoulder: "Why are you still stunned? Hurry, who does the child see first, and who will he see in the future?
Who is close to you?"
Su Ren nodded numbly and let Gou Tianming slap the big white horse on the butt. The big white horse neighed, kicked off its hooves and rushed out. Hawking screamed, and he and Huang Shisan followed Su Ren and ran towards Dujiangyan.
I can already see the familiar small village from a distance. All around, the fields that were renovated last year stretch as far as the eye can see. Today's Dujiangyan is no longer the barren land it was before, and all its advantages have been revealed. The terrain here is gentle, and it is irrigated by the Minjiang River.
, is a natural source of grain. In addition, Dujiangyan is backed by Shuangzui Mountain, and has the support of Su Ren's caravan, plus the flawless care of Yelang people, so life in Dujiangyan is very comfortable.
The white horse ran very fast, and the cold wind felt like a knife on his face. Su Ren opened his mouth wide and felt that it was difficult to breathe. The cold wind flowed down the trachea and into the lungs, and his chest felt cold.
"Hey...!" Just as he was about to enter the village, Su Ren took the reins of the horse and stopped the white horse.
Hawking ran ahead, ran far away, and then turned back: "Brother, what's wrong? Why did you stop?"
Su Ren took a breath and shook his head slightly: "Don't rush in. Let's go together when Brother Sima and the others arrive!"
"Why?"
"There are not so many reasons, just wait if I ask you to wait!" Su Ren raised a rare serious face and glared at Hawking.
Hawking did not dare to ask any more questions. He could only look at the village in front of him and muttered.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
A woman rushed out of the house happily, her hands still stained with blood. When she saw Ayinong, she quickly knelt down and said, "Chief, it's a brat! It's a boy!"
"Okay..." The whole village cheered. The boy meant that the Bo people like him would always be protected by Su Ren, and from now on, the blood of Su Ren would flow in their Bo people.
Ayinong let out a long breath and motioned to the woman kneeling on the ground to get up: "How about Luyi?"
"Mother and child are safe!"
There was another shout of applause. This was a great thing, and everything was safe, so Su Ren was told that everything was safe, and the Bo people all felt relieved.
Abang approached Ayinong and said, "Chief, would you like to give the child a name? How about calling it Su Gou'er?"
Ayinong was shocked, and slapped Abang with his backhand: "He is a Bo person, and he is my grandson, Ayinong!"
The whole courtyard was silent, and no one dared to say another word. Abang covered his swollen face. He did two wrong things today, which made the clan leader unhappy. Ayinong gasped and pushed.
Kai'abang left the yard again.
The Bo people were silent. Everyone had their own ideas about the child's surname. Although Ayinong said that he would not be named Su, he did not make it clear that the child would be named A. It seems that Su Ren still needs to come to this matter.
Decide.
The brigade led by Sima Xiangru arrived at the village only in the afternoon. Su Ren and others waited for a full hour and stood in the field without lighting a fire. The cold wind blew several people's noses with runny noses.
Gou Tianming quickly took off the wine bottle and handed it to Su Ren, asking Huo Jin: "Why are you here? Didn't you go in?"
Huo Jin nodded, looked at Su Ren, and did not dare to say more.
After taking a sip of wine, Su Ren threw the jug to Huang Shisan and came to Sima Xiangru: "Brother Sima, do you think Ayinong will agree to us to persuade the Bo people who stayed in Bo land? That one
If the copper mine falls into the hands of Heibingtai or the King of Huainan, the consequences will be disastrous. The best way is to get it. I still want to keep the copper mine without resorting to the last resort."
Sima Xiangru shook his head: "It's difficult! There is definitely no problem with Ayinong's persuasion, but it's hard to say whether those Bo people will be as we expected. Once uncontrollable factors arise, no one knows what will happen in the end.
, you come and I fight for it, it’s better that no one wants it!”
"What a pity!" Su Ren sighed.
Sima Xiangru smiled slightly: "It's not a pity. We can just start mining again in the future. Didn't you think so too back then?"
Su Ren took a deep breath, got on his horse and said, "Let's go! Enter the village!"
Hawking asked: "Where to go? To my sister-in-law's house, or..."
"Go to the Ayinong chief's house!" Su Ren immediately mounted his horse and turned onto the main road into the village.
Hawking muttered: "Isn't Ayi's farm home just like my sister-in-law's home? It's so troublesome to say!"
As soon as the group arrived at the entrance of the village, Ayinong and others greeted them. A woman took out her newborn child and held it in front of Su Ren like a treasure. With a smile on her face: "Mr. Su, take a look, it's a baby."
boy!"
Su Ren was at a loss for a while. He had never held such a small child before, and it was still his own child. The child was ugly, wrinkled all over, and his face was a little blue because of the cold weather. He only took a look at Ayinong.
He quickly said: "The child is so small, what are you doing with him? Why don't you go back quickly!"
The woman took the child back from Su Ren's arms and ran away. Su Ren looked at the woman's back and sighed. As the former county magistrate of Dujiangyan, Sima Xiangru had a good reputation among the Bo people and had already interacted with several of his relatives.
The acquaintances started talking. However, those Bo people had no intention of talking at all and just stretched their necks to look at the motorcade behind Su Ren.
Ayinong bowed to Su Ren, and Su Ren quickly supported him. From the moment the child was born, Ayinong's identity changed. He was no longer the leader of the Bo people who used to be attached to Su Ren's side.
Now Su Ren is the grandfather of his child. Therefore, Su Ren can no longer put on airs. Even if others don't say anything, he still feels sorry for himself.
"Is she okay?"
Ayinong nodded and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Hawking chuckled and shouted: "It's time to move things!" The Bo people immediately became excited. Regardless of men, women, old or young, they all crowded to the side of the motorcade, leaving Sima Xiangru standing alone.
Gou Tianming smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Sima. These people are still busy working for food and clothing. Etiquette and other things can only be left behind. Don't you always say that you only know etiquette if you have enough in the warehouse?"
Sima Xiangru nodded and smiled slightly at Gou Tianming: "Yes, it's me who has the portrait! Let's go, follow sir, we have something serious to say." (To be continued)
