Liu had her own little scheme.
Life in the mountain village is not like that in the capital. There are many inconveniences, such as doctors. What if someone has a headache or fever?
She had inquired and found that there weren't many people in the entire mountain stronghold who knew medicine, and most of them were skilled in treating external injuries. This was normal, since it was a bandit's den and injuries were inevitable.
What if the woman gets sick?
So Dr. Zhu's wife became her main focus of interaction. She knew a little about gynecology, and more importantly, after becoming close friends, she became like family to Dr. Zhu, and Dr. Zhu would always pay more attention to her when she saw a doctor.
Actually, you don't need to at all.
Upon learning that he was treating Chu Jinjin, Doctor Zhu felt as if he had received a tremendous mission and immediately came with his medicine kit.
In Black Hawk Stronghold now, Jie Du is number one, and Chu Jinjin is number two.
Thinking about it carefully, apart from the time she went to the palace and clashed with the Empress Dowager, Chu Jinjin had never seen a doctor. Common illnesses such as colds and fevers that are common in spring and winter were completely avoided by her.
Dr. Zhu switched his hands from left to right, then from right to left, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, but he remained silent.
Unable to contain herself any longer, Madam Liu asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter?"
It wasn't that Dr. Zhu didn't want to talk about it, but rather that the matter was too significant.
As far as he knew, Chu Jinjin was not yet married.
It's hard to describe how a young lady from a prominent family, who is still underage, is pregnant. Moreover, I've heard a lot of gossip from my wife these days. Chu Jinjin has many suitors: the prince of the Northern Desert, the emperor, Zhan Qin, and even the chieftain of our own village.
Whose child is this?
Anyway, it's not the chieftain's.
After a fierce internal struggle, Doctor Zhu gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask, Miss Chu, is your period late?"
Chu Jinjin immediately understood and sighed, "It's too late."
Doctor Zhu's words shifted between distant and close: "The pulse indicates pregnancy, but my medical skills are limited, and I don't have much experience in gynecology. Perhaps the chieftain could go down the mountain and hire a specialist..."
Chu Jinjin was no longer listening.
The wish she made that night actually came true; she really was pregnant.
It felt very unreal.
Chu Jinjin touched her unchanged lower abdomen, and there really was a little life inside. It was truly amazing.
So the question is, what should we do?
No one knows exactly what will happen on her journey to the Northern Desert for a marriage alliance, but there will be no shortage of dangers. She can manage on her own, but it won't be convenient to fight with a child in the future.
By the time I came to my senses, Dr. Zhu had already left.
Liu's expression was unusually serious: "Jinjin, what do you plan to do?"
"I don't know, I need to think about it carefully." Chu Jinjin covered her head and sighed. "Mother, don't tell Zhan Qin yet, let's talk about it after I've thought it through."
Madam Liu also sighed deeply, her eyes suddenly reddening: "My daughter has such a tragic life."
A woman's pregnancy is of utmost importance, second only to marriage. Mother and daughter are of one heart, and she could feel the love that Chu Jinjin herself might not have realized. She couldn't bear to part with the little life in her womb, but she also had to go to the Northern Desert for a political marriage.
Now let's talk about Zhan Qin's side.
There may be subtle signs that foreshadow many things.
Chu Jinjin went into seclusion, and as her husband, he naturally had to give her his full support. So at most, he would stand outside the courtyard at night, silently watching the faint light shining through the crack in the door. She was so close yet he couldn't get close, and there was nothing he could do; she was right beside him.
You can hear it as soon as you call out.
I stayed in that state until bedtime before going back to my room to rest.
The entire Black Eagle Mountain stronghold was busy. Liu was busy having fun, Jie Du and the others were busy with the upcoming battle, and he couldn't be idle either.
Zhan Qin decided to draw a proper military map of Black Hawk Mountain and the surrounding mountains.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. With a map, you can set up traps and mechanisms before battle, and make more intuitive and correct responses during combat.
There are many wild beasts in the mountains, and he was accompanied by a middle-aged couple.
Three days ago, after completing a map of a mountain range, the three were on their way back when they came across a dilapidated temple.
Zhan Qin never believed in ghosts or gods, nor did he burn incense or worship Buddha. He always believed that if there were gods, then those gods must be human.
Only humans can create miracles.
For example, Chu Jinjin.
The middle-aged couple, the man's surname is Wang, and everyone calls the woman Sister-in-law Wang.
Upon seeing the temple, Wang's gaze suddenly softened, and she chuckled softly, "This temple hasn't collapsed yet."
She was one of the earliest women in Black Eagle Mountain Village. After getting married, she had not conceived for several years and was extremely anxious. One day, she passed by this place and on a whim decided to pray for a child.
She got pregnant not long after returning home.
Wang Ge's gaze softened, as if the past was relived. He looked at Zhan Qin and said, "Mr. Zhan, please rest for a while. My wife and I will go inside to fulfill a vow."
Zhan Qin himself didn't believe it, but he never stopped others. He learned that the statue inside was of the Goddess of Fertility, otherwise why would he have gone in as well?
The wooden horse made by her maternal grandfather was placed solemnly in Chu Jinjin's room, which shows that Jinjin really wants a child of their own.
He wanted it too.
This temple has probably never been very popular. Black Eagle Mountain is too steep, and it's not easy to get there. Besides, most of the people who come to the Goddess of Fertility are women.
Once it became a bandit's den, even fewer people came.
Most bandit women are bold and outspoken, so they don't really believe in such things. It can only be said that this goddess who grants children is not very lucky.
The temple was dilapidated, with cobwebs covering the corners and dust covering the ground. The Goddess of Fertility had an eternal smile on her dusty shrine.
Seeing that Zhan Qin also bowed solemnly, Sister Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhan is an outstanding person, and his future young master will surely be smart and well-behaved."
Zhan Qin blurted out, "I like daughters?"
"Right? I also prefer daughters. Boys are too naughty, and you can never have enough to worry about." Wang, who has a son and a daughter, said this, which sparked her discussion. She complained, "But when my daughter is naughty, she really drives me crazy."
