Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Her Child Was Born

After the contractions subsided, Xuan Jinyu lay on Su Guanzhang's shoulder, breathing softly. Her lips, previously pale, had regained their rosy redness, and the allure on her face was captivating.

The things that were not finished just now still need to be done, and it is less than an hour before dinner time.

We can't let Xuan Jinyu starve anymore.

They had just opened their hearts to each other and kissed each other tenderly. At this time, the two of them were in perfect harmony, and Xuan Jinyu could easily see what Su Guanzhang was hesitating about.

"I'll wait for you here, just go and come back soon." She spoke first.

Su Guanzhang still held her in his arms, without moving.

Xuan Jinyu kissed his chin and said, "After I give birth, I won't be able to see the wind. You will also have to go out on your own to find food."

She touched the man's somewhat relaxed face and said, "Just consider it as early adaptation. Besides," she laughed, "You forgot, I still have divine power!"

She is very powerful.

In the morning on the cliff, not to mention that she kicked a man in black until he vomited blood; just talking about when she threw firewood at those men in black, she seriously injured one of them with each hit, which helped them a lot.

Su Guanzhang also recalled her fierce battle record back then, and a smile appeared on his lips. "Well, Jinyu is really amazing."

Seeing her eyes light up instantly and her whole person become more lively, he knew she liked it, so he continued to praise her: "Jinyu also contributed a lot in the battle this morning. She is truly as capable as any man."

This seems a bit of an exaggeration.

Xuan Jinyu couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, and felt her ears starting to feel hot.

But no matter how much praise she gets, she will accept it all, especially the praise from this man, which is so rare!

"You've become much sweeter." She touched the man's lips.

Su Guanzhang kissed her index finger on her lips and said, "I promise I will change."

But you changed it too quickly, Xuan Jinyu thought.

She still felt that she had no real feelings at the moment. After all, her mother-in-law Xu Yu Niang had spent twenty years trying to change her cold and taciturn personality.

"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, he gently held her hand.

Xuan Jinyu came back to her senses, hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek, "No."

There was a very crisp "bang" sound, which echoed in the cave. Xuan Jinyu was stunned for a moment and her face slowly turned red.

"This is a reward for you. Keep up the good work." But she didn't escape after all. She just didn't dare to look into his eyes when she spoke.

Su Guanzhang hugged her tightly and kissed her still rosy lips again.

Finally, he put his hand to her forehead, helped her breathe more smoothly, and said, "Jinyu, this is the reward."

Male fox.

Xuan Jinyu's face grew hotter and hotter. She pushed him and said, "Hurry up and leave."

If she continued to kiss him, she would really go hungry for dinner, which would be a slap in his face. He had just said in the afternoon that he would not let her go hungry.

Su Guanzhang also knew that it was not appropriate to delay any longer. He carried Xuan Jinyu to sit on the stone platform, then stood up and stretched his legs, which were numb from being pressed by her. "If there is any danger, remember to call me loudly."

He touched her face and said, "I'll hear you."

Su Guanzhang indeed won the battle quickly and decisively.

It seemed like less than a quarter of an hour had passed before he came back.

She heard Su Guanzhang calling her name outside, followed by the sound of something heavy being dragged on the ground. Xuan Jinyu supported herself on the stone platform, slowly put on her shoes, and walked out holding her belly.

"Are you still going out?" she asked, glancing him up and down.

He didn't seem to be dirty, but it might be because the thin dark blue jacket was resistant to dirt, so it couldn't be seen.

Xuan Jinyu thought casually, staring at his arms exposed after he rolled up his sleeves.

Su Guanzhang took a look at her face and saw nothing unusual, so he felt relieved. "The bamboo has been cut, so there's no need to go out again."

What did he use to chop it? Didn't he kick it that afternoon?

Thinking about it, she asked.

Su Guanzhang showed her the bamboo strip in his hand, "Use this, after infusing it with internal energy, and it will be as sharp as a sword."

Now, Xuan Jinyu, like her third brother, felt that his internal energy was very useful.

She had seen him dry clothes and hair easily in the past, and just now she saw him dry the stone platform with just a sweep of his palm, but she didn't feel anything.

But now that I see him using a thin piece of bamboo as a sword, I feel that this is a bit too powerful.

Xuan Jinyu thought, maybe in my heart I still yearn for this more intuitive kind of force. Oh, I shouldn’t have called him a rough warrior before.

However, there is a more important matter at the moment, and all other thoughts must be put aside for the time being.

"Husband, were you injured on the cliff?" Xuan Jinyu asked a little uneasily. It was only at this moment that she remembered such an important matter.

It seems that she is not doing a very good job as a wife.

When she reached the bottom of the cliff, she was only focused on the sight of the blade cutting through his throat, and she forgot that he might have other injuries on his body when she couldn't see them.

At this moment, she also remembered the scene of him being submerged in the crowd of people in black.

Seeing that she was only staring at her hands, Su Guanzhang threw the bamboo stick aside and stretched out his arm to show her, "You are not injured," he said.

His hands were covered in dust, so he couldn't touch her. He leaned over and rubbed his face against her forehead. "You're not injured, don't think too much."

He laughed as he spoke, and put his arm around her. "I just took off all my clothes except for my undershirt. Didn't you see clearly?"

Xuan Jinyu also remembered this and touched her belly.

Pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. Could it be that she has already started to become stupid? She thought uncertainly.

But soon, she was burned by the scorching temperature of his body and pushed him away.

Thinking back to the teasing in his words just now, Xuan Jinyu glared at him softly.

lecher.

"It's time for you to work." she said angrily.

Su Guanzhang only teased her for a moment. Seeing that she was shy and knew when to stop, he quickly stepped back two steps and continued with his work.

"Would you like to sit for a while?" He asked Xuan Jinyu before he started working.

Xuan Jinyu shook her head. She'd sat long enough and decided to stand for a while. "If I get tired of standing, I'll go back to the stone platform and sit down," she said.

So Su Guanzhang first processed the bamboo he brought back.

Xuan Jinyu didn't know how many bamboos he had cut down. She just saw him continuously pulling bamboos into the cave from the entrance behind him. Section after section, bamboos one after another were dragged into the cave by him, as if there was an endless supply.

He split the bamboo tube from slightly above, and with just one stroke of the bamboo sponge, the entire tube was divided into two halves of uneven size.

Su Guanzhang took the larger half in his hand and carefully cut off the middle bamboo node, thus obtaining a large connected bamboo tube.

The shape of this bamboo tube is slightly different from the ones made in the afternoon.

The batch of bamboo tubes from the afternoon could stand upright, easily enough to hold soup or water, and could even be used as bowls. But this batch, however, clearly couldn't stand upright and could only lie horizontally.

Xuan Jinyu guessed, is this going to be used as a small wok?

She thought so, but did not say anything. She watched quietly as Su Guanzhang piled two batches of bamboo tubes together. The number was quite impressive.

Su Guanzhang had made all the bamboo into bamboo tubes. He obviously had no intention of making a bamboo chair because he was worried that Xuan Jinyu would not be safe sitting on it.

By this time, he had washed and dried the big stone that he had brought back from the bamboo forest with him just now, and laid out bamboo leaves that had also been washed and dried, and asked Xuan Jinyu to sit down and continue watching him work.

He brought back two more big stones, which was enough.

He brought slate, large stones, and a pile of bamboo tubes to the mountain spring, cleaned them, and placed two large stones side by side, leaving a space in the middle for a fire, which became a simple large stove.

Several stone slabs were laid one after another, and a shallow pit was carved out in each of the two middle slabs so that their stoves could cook different foods at the same time.

Su Guanzhang placed a triple bamboo tube in the shallow hole he had just dug on the stone slab, just enough to fit the smooth bottom of the bamboo tube.

Now that the stove and the simple "pot" were ready, Su Guanzhang and Xuan Jinyu gave some instructions and went out again. This time he came back even faster than before.

He flew back using his Qinggong skills, and Xuan Jinyu already knew why he moved so quickly.

Su Guanzhang brought back many small fish, wrapped in a large leaf; some wild vegetables, and a slightly reddish stone.

"This is rock salt." Seeing Xuan Jinyu staring at the stone, Su Guanzhang explained, "Sometimes when we're on the march and there's no salt, we use rock salt as a substitute."

Xuan Jinyu once again witnessed his strong ability to survive in the wild, and then she quickly remembered the afternoon meal.

"Was the roast chicken we just had also been rubbed with rock salt?" she asked.

The roast chicken was savory, with the seasoning and cooking time controlled just right.

Su Guanzhang replied "yes" without stopping his hands. He quickly placed the cleaned fish on the triple bamboo tube stuck in the shallow pit on the stone slab, added water, and covered it with the bamboo slices that had been shaved off earlier.

Only then did Xuan Jinyu realize that he had brought back some firewood.

The firewood was piled between two large stones and soon the fire was lit.

After doing all this, Su Guanzhang stopped what he was doing and said to Xuan Jinyu with some regret: "Jinyu, the conditions are simple, I'm sorry to have wronged you."

Xuan Jinyu touched her belly and said, "It's great that I can still drink fish soup." She wasn't really that squeamish. At least she had survived the past six months of exile.

And after falling off the cliff, she realized that being together as a family is more important than anything else.

All external affairs are secondary. Supporting each other is the most important thing.

Unfortunately, she was protected too well during her exile and was unable to understand it.

However, although she didn't feel much better after tormenting him all the way, at least this piece of wood gradually came to her senses.

This is also a good thing.

She gave him a small smile.

In the middle of the night, Xuan Jinyu was awakened by the severe contractions in her stomach.

Su Guanzhang was awakened almost at the same time as she opened her eyes. He subconsciously reached under her body and quickly picked her up. "Don't be afraid, the baby is about to come out."

Her amniotic fluid had broken, and Xuan Jinyu's undergarment was a little wet, but fortunately her skirt and the outer robe underneath were not wet.

Su Guanzhang quickly wrapped Xuan Jinyu in her thin jacket and cloak. He himself wore only a middle garment, draped a thin jacket over his hands, and carried her out of the cave.

Xuan Jinyu was sweating profusely from the pain and tears kept falling down.

With the faint moonlight, Su Guanzhang saw her appearance clearly, and his heart tightened and then ached.

"Jinyu, don't bear the pain. You can bite me." He kissed her sweaty forehead.

At this time, Su Guanzhang had already hung up the outer clothes of the two and carried Xuan Jinyu down to the warm water lake.

The temperature of the warm water lake at night is actually slightly higher than during the day, making it more comfortable to soak in it.

The lake water gently washed over the lower bodies of the two people, which were completely immersed in the water, gradually relieving the excruciating pain.

Xuan Jinyu slowly released her bite on Su Guanzhang's shoulder and leaned her head against him somewhat weakly. However, her body, which had curled up unconsciously just now, had completely relaxed under the soothing of the lake water.

Su Guanzhang had just taken off her lower garment and hung it on the tree, making it easier for him to reach out.

After a while, he withdrew his hand with a gloomy look.

She was in so much pain, but she was only able to open three fingers.

Too slow.

Feeling her warm breath brushing against his neck, and the wetness on his shoulder when her eyes unconsciously brushed against his, he almost couldn't control his emotions.

He took a deep breath, trying to force himself to calm down, but it was in vain.

In the end, Su Guanzhang couldn't help but hug her tightly.

"It's okay, Jinyu, don't be afraid." He held her pale little face. "Don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you." He almost muttered to himself.

The hands that held her cheeks were shaking; the usual indifference in his eyes was long gone, and now it looked more like a bottomless cold pond, his eyelashes trembling, and the water in the pond was broken.

It seems that he is more afraid!

Xuan Jinyu had asked him that afternoon if he wasn't worried or panicked. What had he said then? He'd contradicted himself so quickly.

However, she was deeply attached to Su Guanzhang, who was worried and afraid.

This kind of him moved her more than his previous calm and composed look, as if he wouldn't even frown even if the sky fell.

Xuan Jinyu raised her hand and touched his eyebrows, "Don't be afraid."

Taking advantage of the buoyancy of the lake water, she stepped on his feet, hugged his neck, and kissed his lips. "The baby and I will be fine, right?"

The moonlight shining into the lake was extremely bright and shimmering, reflecting her serious and beautiful eyes, and Su Guanzhang's heart miraculously calmed down.

"You and the baby will be fine, I promise." He leaned in and kissed her, softly and lingeringly.

The night was exceptionally long, but both the husband and wife were filled with anticipation.

They talked about the unborn baby, the future of their family of three, and the baby's name and nickname.

The morning light is dim and mist is rising in the mountains.

Looking up, I saw that the whole mountain was wrapped in thick fog and surrounded by clouds, which was as beautiful as a fairyland.

The two of them had no intention of appreciating it.

A strong pain came over her, and Xuan Jinyu, who had been struggling all night, became breathless; but soon she felt a loosening under her body, as if something had left her body, and her mind was a little confused for a moment.

She fell limply on Su Guanzhang, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Su Guanzhang holding her with one hand and quickly fishing something out of the water with the other.

Before she could react to what it was, she heard Su Guanzhang's voice.

"Jinyu, look, this is our daughter." Su Guanzhang held the child in the hand that was supporting Xuan Jinyu, and patted the soles of the child's feet with the other hand.

Xuan Jinyu's eyes, which were about to close, opened again.

daughter.

Her child was born.

This will be the only child they will have in their lifetime.

The satisfaction in her heart came to her mind belatedly, and she became a mother.
