Shen Qing was infamous in his village as a fierce ger who no one wanted to marry. After being “kicked out” of his home alongside his mother by his biased grandparents and a father who was despe...
Song Kaiji was so panicked that he picked up Shen Qing and ran out. Although he didn't know what happened to Shen Qing - did she get twisted while avoiding the zombies? But the situation just now was tense, and Song Kaiji was infected by the atmosphere, always worried that Shen Qing had a big problem.
It was Shen Qing who grabbed him and stopped him, saying, "Don't go to the hospital... send me back." Go back to the cave.
"How about we let a healing person take a look? This matter is over here. Feng Hao dare not do anything for the time being. If he does something else, the military will teach him a lesson without us having to do anything." This incident caused a rift between the military and them. Shao Nan looked very unhappy when he left. People will not overly blame themselves for their mistakes, but will only focus all their anger on Feng Hao.
"We're looking for Qi Zhan, although... he shouldn't do anything." Although Qi Zhan and Tang Wenjie should have broken up, they are still acquaintances after all. He came to their house for food and drinks for a long time before, so he wouldn't take advantage of someone in need.
Shen Qing shook his head: "No, I roughly know what's going on, but it's best not to let others know." It was after being attacked by zombies just now that Shen Qing reacted in a flash, and all the recent abnormalities in his body matched up.
Although Shen Qing had never given birth, he had seen Miao and Zhao Aiye pregnant when he was a child. Backache, loss of appetite, preference for food with vinegar, easy vomiting... these were fine, the most important thing was that the zombies would attack Shen Qing.
Shen Qing knew that the reason why he was not attacked by zombies was probably because he was not from this world. But if he was pregnant, the child would have half of Song Kaiji's blood, and Song Kaiji would be attacked by zombies.
The zombies were not attacking him, but the blood in his stomach, which belonged to Song Kaiji.
Shen Qing touched her belly, her face was still as pale as before, but there was a warm smile on the corner of her mouth. She leaned closer and whispered her guess, which resulted in a dumbfounded Song Kaiji.
Song Kaiji knew that Shen Qing was a man, and that men could have children. But Shen Qing looked like a man, and he sometimes subconsciously forgot this. When he heard Shen Qing say that she might be pregnant, he was so stunned that he almost let go of his hands and dropped Shen Qing to the ground.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Shen Qing quickly hugged his neck and nuzzled him: "Or do you not like children?" Song Kaiji was usually very nice to Nannan, and Shen Qing was just teasing him. "But it's not certain, it's just my guess."
"No, no!" Song Kaiji denied hastily. How could he not look forward to his and Shen Qing's child! But there was a trace of guilt on his face: "I'm just scared. You just killed zombies... damn Feng Hao!" He had discussed with Shen Qing to assassinate Feng Hao, but he was locked up as soon as he returned. It was really embarrassing and delayed things. Song Kaiji muttered angrily, "I'll kill him tonight!"
"Well, I'm not in a hurry..." Shen Qing's face flashed with guilt, and he touched his nose. If we talk about fear, he is more afraid. He went up the mountain with his cub to hunt wolves, climbing trees, and jumping down from trees... He didn't dare to say these words to Song Kaiji, "We just had a conflict with him, and he died. It's too easy to suspect us. Let's wait a few days until this matter is forgotten."
Anyway, he would be attacked by zombies now, so even if Feng Hao wanted to verify it, he would not be able to verify anything. "Send me back first. I can't be treated here. If people knew that I was pregnant..." He was already suspected of not being attacked by zombies, and if there was a rumor that a man could get pregnant, Feng Hao might guess that he was not from this world.
As a smart brain-powered person, Chen Jiaqian could guess it, so why couldn’t Feng Hao?
Thinking of Chen Jiaqian, Shen Qing pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to go see the doctor. I'll be back tomorrow. You take me to see Chen Jiaqian."
Song Kaiji didn't know, but Shen Qing, who was looking face to face with Chen Jiaqian, knew clearly that Chen Jiaqian had broken her oath and pried into Shen Qing's memory.
Although Chen Jiaqian did not betray him in the end, Shen Qing was still a little uneasy and had to find Chen Jiaqian to get things clear.
He just had a miscarriage, and his stomach was aching. But while talking, Shen Qing poured two cups of spiritual spring water for him to drink, and the dull pain in his waist and abdomen gradually stopped, which could last until he went to the county town to see a doctor.
The doctor in Anping County thinks my brother's pregnancy is normal, so let's let the doctor in Anping County take a look.
Song Kaiji naturally knew that Shen Qing was right. After thinking about it, he changed direction and ran straight out of the city with Shen Qing in his arms. After leaving the base, he teleported twice and soon arrived at the entrance of the cave.
They hadn't seen each other for half a month, and today they had to separate again after just a short meeting. Both of them were very reluctant to part. Shen Qing held Song Kaiji's face and kissed him for a while, and said coquettishly: "Come pick me up here at this time tomorrow, I'll be back after seeing the doctor."
Song Kaiji also kissed the corner of Shen Qing's mouth and said sullenly: "It would be nice if the cell phone could be used." Of course, it would be even better if he could pass through the cave.
Shen Qing was pregnant. After the huge surprise, Song Kaiji slowly realized one thing.
Is it that only Shen Qing can pass through this cave, or... can anyone of Shen Qing's bloodline pass through it? Song Kaiji's heart gradually sank, because he remembered that day when Shen Qing brought Miao up the mountain. That was Shen Qing's biological mother, but she couldn't see this cave either.
What about their children?
Although this child is a hybrid of two worlds and might be a little different from Miao, Song Kaiji couldn't convince himself to be so optimistic and have a fluke mentality.
Looking at Shen Qing's smiling face, Song Kaiji didn't say much, hiding the bitterness in his heart, and just rubbed his neck: "See you tomorrow."
Shen Qing walked all the way back to the village. This spiritual spring was indeed a good thing. After drinking more, Shen Qing felt much better, but he still did not dare to be careless. He went home, tied up the carriage, and went to Anping County to see a doctor at the largest medical clinic.
He touched his belly, and although he had guessed it was almost right, he was still a little nervous. When he was sick before, Miao invited a doctor to come to the house for a consultation. At that time, Shen Qing was drowsy, and the doctor just thought he was unconscious, so he didn't hide it. Shen Qing had lived a hard life in the old Shen family for too long, and her body was a little weak, so it was difficult for her to conceive.
Shen Qing was very sad at that time. He had always wanted to have a child, even when he and Song Kaiji were not together yet and Wang San wanted to live with him. He was thinking at that time, how can he have a child without getting married?
Not to mention, the child she is pregnant with is the one he loves. Shen Qingduo is afraid that this is just a dream.
He looked at the gray-bearded old doctor in front of him, his wrist still under his fingertips, and asked nervously, "Doctor, how is it?"
The old doctor frowned, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Shen Qing carefully. Then he remembered that there was a famous guy in the county who disguised himself as a man to do business. He was probably the one in front of him.
Shen Qing was still wearing men's clothes, except for the mole between his eyebrows. But the old doctor was old and his eyes were blurry, so he couldn't see clearly. He squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Qing carefully for a while, then withdrew his hand and complained, "Brother, you didn't say it clearly. I was wondering how a man could be pregnant?"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from the lower drawer, covered Shen Qing's wrist with it, and began to check his pulse again.
This guy is careless and doesn't care about things, but he is a very particular person! At his age, he felt awkward holding the little boy's hand: "It's more than three months old, and the fetus is not very stable... Oh, I remember, you killed a group of wolves a while ago, right? The village below sent you to the city with drums and gongs. You don't take your child seriously at all!"
The old doctor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. This guy's body was not suitable for raising children. After finally getting pregnant, he was so careless!
Shen Qing was not used to pampering anyone when he was walking in the county town. But when the old doctor scolded him, he could only accept it with his eyebrows lowered: "At that time... I didn't even know I was pregnant." He looked at the old doctor nervously, "Is the child important?"
"Why don't you ask yourself if your health is serious?" The old doctor glanced at him unhappily. "Your body is not good for pregnancy because you worked too hard in the past. It's just that you have been taking more supplements recently, and you can barely get pregnant. I don't know how much suffering you will have to endure in the future! If you continue to do this, you can't even keep the baby, let alone the baby!"
Giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell for this woman and her brother. Shen Qing's pelvis was narrow, and she wasn't in a good shape for childbirth. She was also going through the hassle of fighting wolves today and tigers tomorrow. She was really asking for her life!
He gave Shen Qing two injections, and Shen Qing really felt much better in his stomach. Knowing that Shen Qing was not short of money, the old doctor prescribed a bunch of medicines and many supplements, and explained in detail how to take them. He couldn't help but scold Shen Qing, telling him to take it slowly and remember not to take too much, otherwise it would be more difficult to give birth to a child when the child grows up. Shen Qing lowered his head and was scolded by him for a long time, and went back with a bunch of medicines and supplements.
The old doctor was still in a bad mood. He walked around the clinic for a few rounds and suddenly he realized: Is this guy married?
Shen Qing returned home and met some villagers on the way. Seeing Shen Qing coming back, they were all a little puzzled: they heard that Shen Qing had gone out to do business again in the morning, how come he came back in just half a day? But now, everyone is more afraid of Shen Qing, and they no longer think of him as a little brother who grew up in the village. The group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward to greet Shen Qing.
Shen Qing didn't care and went back to his home. Miao was also a little surprised. Shen Qing went out in the morning and came back in a hurry not long after. He tied up the mule cart and ran to the city without saying a word. Seeing Shen Qing coming back with a lot of medicinal herbs, she became even more nervous: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment. Lian Ou and Lian Rong were still working in his room, so he didn't mention the fact that she was pregnant for the time being. He just evaded the question by saying, "Not really. These are mostly tonics for the body. Eat them to nourish the body."
After hearing this, Miao agreed: "It's time to take good care of yourself. I used to think that if you eat more good food, your body will naturally get better. Now I know that eating well is just a superficial supplement to make your body not so bad. If you want to take care of yourself, you still have to ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine!"
She also remembered that the doctor had said that Shen Qing was weak and had difficulty in giving birth. But now, looking at Shen Qing, the mole between his eyebrows was very bright, and she was a little confused: Can the color of the mole change? She had lived under the same roof with Zhao Aiye for more than ten years, and she didn't remember any changes in his mole. Now Shen Qing's mole has changed. Bright moles are a sign of good fertility. Has Shen Qing almost recovered and is it not so difficult to give birth?
Shen Qing boiled a large bowl of medicine with spiritual spring water. He decided to drink spiritual spring water every day to nourish his body. For the sake of the baby in his belly, he was not afraid of the bitterness at this moment. He pinched his nose and gulped down the bowl of medicine.
The bitter smell of Chinese medicine filled the yard, driving Lian Rong out of the house. When she saw Shen Qing, she quickly showed him the knot made by Lian lotus roots: "Brother Qing, look, this is a new trick my second brother has learned!"
Shen Qing praised him. Lian Ou was indeed very clever and skillful. The knots he made could be sold in shops in the county. Shen Qing had just grabbed a handful of beads of unknown material and asked him to put them on the knots. Lian Ou was quite clever and sold well with the right combination.
Every ten days, Shen Qing would give money to Lian Ou, but now Second Aunt Lian had other ideas, so she only let Lian Ou take 10% back, and kept most of the money with Shen Qing. She would wait until Lian Ou got married, and then Shen Qing would give it directly to Lian Ou, without having to go through the old Lian family.
It’s better to trust Shen Qing than the Lian family!
But not every piece is perfect. There are still a lot of practice pieces piled up at home that look good from a distance, but have some flaws when you look closely. The time for the lotus root to grow is too short, and the silk thread will still be scratched if you are not careful.
Lian Rong's hands were even clumsier. Shen Qing provided the materials, and Lian Ou, her brother, taught her patiently, but after half a month of teaching, she still couldn't learn it. Lian Rong finally gave up in frustration, knowing that she couldn't make a living from this.
Shen Qing comforted her: "Everyone has different talents. You may not be good at this, but you may have a talent for studying. When the school is built next year, you can go to school. When your brother will learn to weave knots, you can pay him."
Shen Qing was in a good mood. Now that she was pregnant, she loved the child more and more. She coaxed Lian Rong not to be unhappy. After thinking for a while, she said, "These practice works are useless here. How about this, you sew some headbands and attach these little things woven by Ou Ge'er to the headbands. Since May Day is coming, you and Ou Ge'er can take them to the big market in Miaoqian Village to sell. Although they are a bit rough, they can be sold at a lower price at the market, and there will definitely be people who want them. After selling them for money, how about we each get one?"
Lian Rong was confused. What was the difference between this and Shen Qing giving her money? "May Festival Fair, Brother Qing, are you going?"
Shen Qing shook his head: "I won't go - I came back temporarily today, and I will leave tomorrow. It will take a long time for me to come back."
There are still many things that have not been dealt with over there.
Feng Hao was like a madman. The blood test strips for entering the city would be thrown into the trash can after confirming that they were not infected with the zombie virus. How could they tell which one was Zhang San's and which one was Li Si's? Feng Hao wanted to find Shen Qing's, but the captain of the patrol at the city gate thought Feng Hao was sick and ignored him. Feng Hao ran to the city gate by himself and took the trash can away.
Inspection Captain:...Well, it’s just some garbage anyway, just think of it as the cleaners picking it up early today.
Feng Hao was really patient. He tested hundreds or even thousands of people entering the city every day, trying to find a needle in a haystack. However, he was disappointed. None of the test strips contained antibodies to the zombie virus.
But there is one sample that looks strange no matter how you look at it.
Feng Hao held the test paper and asked doubtfully: "...hermaphrodite?"
There were so many test strips, and the genes were different. He did find a super male, not to mention the peaceful times, but now it was the end of the world, and the super male's genes might be more likely to survive.
Then there was this suspected hermaphrodite. This set of genes was a bit strange, and it seemed to be different from ordinary hermaphrodites. Feng Hao stared at it for a long time, but it was ultimately irrelevant to vaccine research, so Feng Hao threw the test paper away in frustration.
No, this is not right. He had a very clear feeling that Chen Jiaqian was lying to him. Although he didn't know when Chen Jiaqian had contacted Shen Qing and the others, Feng Hao no longer believed Chen Jiaqian's lies. He believed more in himself, his brain, his memory, and his judgment - this Shen Qing would definitely not be attacked by zombies, at least that was the case on the day he met him.
As for now...did he encounter any situation and his physical condition changed? Today, the zombie attacked Shen Qing. Although Feng Hao made many excuses, he knew in his heart that he was not lying.
Feng Hao made up his mind and went to the inspection team again, hoping to get all the test strips from the past six months. The inspection team leader looked at him like a madman: "You don't think we would keep those test strips after we tested them every day, do you? Are they some kind of precious things? Of course we would clean them up and burn them after a while, right?"
However, seeing that this madman looked like a scientific researcher who had become stupid from studying, the inspection team leader still felt a little bit of sympathy. He pointed to a small room near the city gate, which contained several large trash cans, like a small garbage transfer station: "The ones that were not burned are all over there, you can take whatever you want, and the ones that were burned cannot be changed for you anyway."
There were test strips piled there for more than a week. The cleaners were lazy recently and hadn't taken away the ones that were supposed to be taken away yet. Feng Hao was very disappointed. Shen Qing hadn't shown up at the base for half a month. The ones from more than a week ago must be useless. But before leaving, Feng Hao swept a few test strips on the ground that were very old. I guess the cleaners dropped them on the ground when they were transporting them away and never cleaned them up.
Although he knew there was little hope, Feng Hao still picked up all the test papers with old dates on them and took them away.
The inspection team leader looked at him lying on the ground picking up test papers and shook his head in his heart: This guy has gone crazy doing experiments, he is really pitiful.
The next day, Shen Qing thought it was almost time, so he returned to the end of the world. Song Kaiji had been waiting at the entrance of the cave, and saw Shen Qing suddenly appear from the flat mountain wall with his own eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart again about the magic of the cave.
As soon as she saw him, Shen Qing couldn't stop smiling. She rushed over happily and hugged Song Kaiji's neck, full of sweetness: "I guessed right, you are pregnant."
He took Song Kaiji's hand and placed it on his lower abdomen.
What a miracle. Shen Qing's belly was no different from before, still as flat and firm, but inside it was a little life, a child with both of their blood.
