Shen Dafu anxiously shouted to the front, "Uncle Yanshan! Stop, my wife fell down!"

Shen Yanshan turned around to see what happened, and the voice sounded like Shen Dafu.

Shen Yanqing and Qi Yanxuan looked at each other and followed. When they got closer, they saw Wang Yulan sitting on the ground, her upper body leaning on the two women, holding her stomach with a painful expression.

Wang Yulan is a new daughter-in-law who just married into Kaoshan Village a few years ago. Her husband Shen Dafu is a butcher in the village. His family conditions are considered good in the village. When every household eats brown rice and vegetable dumplings, only Shen Yanshan and his son are hunters and have no shortage of meat. His family can eat meat often. Although Shen Dafu looks big and strong, everyone in the village knows that he loves his wife.

Not far away, Shen Dafu hurriedly ran over, pulling Doctor Xu.

Poor Doctor Xu was stumbling as he ran with a medicine box on his back, and he almost fell.

When he came to Wang Yulan, Shen Dafu let go of Doctor Xu and hurriedly took his wife from the woman's arms.

"Wife! Wife! How are you? Where did you fall?" Shen Dafu was nervous and at a loss.

"My...stomach...stomach hurts!" Wang Yulan was in so much pain that she broke out in a sweat and couldn't speak clearly.

Shen Dafu quickly called out to Doctor Xu, "Uncle Xu! Come quickly! My wife has a stomachache!"

Doctor Xu had just stood firm when he heard Shen Dafu calling him. He hurried forward, but was suddenly released from his position while running all the way. He almost fell on his butt.

After taking Shen Yulan's pulse for a few breaths, Doctor Xu said seriously, "Your wife is having a miscarriage. She is three months pregnant."

"What...what? Pregnant?" Shen Dafu was confused. After realizing what was happening, he quickly asked, "How's my wife? She fell down. Is she okay?"

"She's fine, but with all the hassles of traveling, being frightened and falling, the baby may not be saved. And later on..." Doctor Xu shook his head and sighed before he finished his words.

After hearing what Doctor Xu said, Wang Yulan pleaded with him in a panic, "Uncle Xu, please help me. This is Dafu and I's first child."

As she spoke, tears began to flow and she sobbed. She didn't cry even though it was so painful just now, but now when she heard that the child might not be saved, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Shen Dafu also had a sad face, but when he saw his wife crying, he hurried to comfort her and wiped away her tears. "Wife, don't cry."

"Doctor Xu didn't say it was definitely lost. Even if it was, it would be his fate. Now everyone is fleeing famine, and he will suffer if he comes out. We just have to do our best!"

After hearing this, Wang Yulan buried her face in her man's arms. She felt extremely guilty. It was all because of her accidental fall. She cried out in suppressed tears, and the villagers around her also looked distressed when they heard it.

Shen Dafu hugged his wife and looked at Doctor Xu and said, "Uncle Xu, just do your best! It depends on whether this child can do well on his own!"

Doctor Xu took out 100 grams of astragalus, 15 grams of ginseng, 20 grams each of angelica, white peony, cooked rehmannia, and mistletoe, and 25 grams each of yam, dodder seed, and Sichuan pepper from the medicine box.

Instruct Shen Dafu to "take the abortion-stabilizing medicine three times a day, boiled in water and taken."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Shen Yanshan said to Shen Dafu: "The terrain here is rugged and not suitable for overnight stay. Let's set up camp in front!"

Shen Yanshan and the other two continued to lead the way. Shen Dafu's luggage was carried by his brother Shen Dayou and his family, while he carried his wife on his back and hurried on.

A bustling crowd of people walked along the rugged mountain road.

After an incense stick of time, everyone came to a flat place to set up camp. Near Qi Yanxuan's tent, there were originally the village chief, Shen Kui, the three Youqing brothers, and Doctor Xu's family, who had more contact with them. Now, Shen Dafu and his brother's family have joined the crowd.

Shen Dafu was worried about his wife, so he set up a tent near Doctor Xu for fear that something might happen to her.

After the shed was set up, Shen Dafu was boiling medicine for his wife when he saw the village chief coming over. Not knowing what was going on, he asked, "Village chief, is there anything I can help you with?"

The village chief handed the herbs in his hand to Shen Dafu and said, "I found these from the herbs our family has collected recently. I asked Doctor Xu, and he said they are all used in pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

"Your wife has been taking pregnancy-maintaining medicine for a while now, and you definitely don't have enough herbs at home! Take these."

Shen Dafu took the herbs with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you, Village Chief!"

The village chief patted Shen Dafu on the shoulder and left without saying anything else.

Afterwards, other villagers came to see Shen Dafu one after another, all to deliver medicinal herbs.

Shen Dafu and his wife were so moved that they wiped away tears.

Qi Yanxuan was also touched when he saw this scene. He was used to seeing all kinds of ugliness in human nature in the end times, but he had never seen a scene where everyone helped one family in trouble.

Perhaps he had seen it before, back when he was still living in that peaceful era. But those memories were too vague, and he couldn't quite remember.

He only remembered the selfishness of human nature in the apocalypse. People pushed others into piles of zombies in order to save their own lives, and killed people without blinking an eye for a bite of food. Those who were willing to sacrifice for others had already died in the early days of the apocalypse. Those who survived were all covered in blood, including him.

Breaking away from his memories, Qi Yanxuan returned to the tent.

Seeing Qi Yanxuan's face look a little strange when he came back, Shen Yanqing asked worriedly: "What's wrong? Did you encounter something unhappy?"

Qi Yanxuan calmed down and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just saw a scene and remembered some past events."

Shen Yanqing knew that Qi Yanxuan's background must be complicated, and he really wanted to know, but he felt that Qi Yanxuan must have a reason for not telling him, and he believed that one day Ah Xuan would tell him.

Shen Yanqing pecked Qi Yanxuan's thin lips lightly. "I'm glad you're okay! Don't think too much."

"Um!"

As he spoke, he took out a twenty-year-old ginseng and handed it to Shen Yanqing, then continued: "You can take this to Shen Dafu. The other herbs in the pregnancy-preserving medicine are easier to find. I guess Doctor Xu doesn't have much of this in stock, right?"

Shen Yanqing took the ginseng and said, "Okay! Ah Xuan, come with me!"

Qi Yanxuan thought of Shen Dafu's red eyes. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of someone treating her like this. She quickly waved her hand and said, "I won't go. You can go."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanqing kissed the other person again, and then took the ginseng to find Shen Dafu.

…

Shen Dafu's hands holding the ginseng were trembling slightly, and he knelt down to Shen Yanqing with a plop. "Yanqing! Thank you... Thank you!"

All other herbs are available, except ginseng, which is hard to find. Uncle Xu only has enough for one day, and he is ready to take the risk to go out and look for it. This is really a timely relief!

Shen Yanqing pulled him up and said, "If you want to thank you, you should go to thank Axuan. He gave it to me. I was just responsible for delivering it."

Shen Dafu choked up a little and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I'll go thank Yan Xuan right away!"

Then he walked towards Qi Yanxuan's tent...
