Chapter 37 Persimmons and oranges sound delicious and sweet.
(37)
Although Shen Changyi told her not to move, Li Shanglu felt that she still had strength, so she stood up and made some preparations.
She felt inexplicably flustered, and she actually hoped she could feel some pain. Now she felt nothing, which was too abnormal.
They prepared everything that would be needed for delivery according to the parenting and medical books.
Elder Teng spent 49 days specially refining a scar-free blood-clotting dew. Furthermore, the pain-relieving powder and Qi-restoring pills sent by the sect leader were both rare treasures.
Li Shanglu moved carefully, reached out to take the elixirs on the bedside, and drank them with water.
While he was drinking the medicine, two midwives rushed in, but there was no sign of Shen Changyi.
"Madam, please lie down quickly. We will start right away!" They had found these two doctors a long time ago. Knowing that the delivery would be in the next few days, the doctors were always waiting for news.
Li Shanglu glanced behind her and frowned, "Where's Chen Changyi?"
The other person was stunned for a moment, seemingly surprised that she would still have the leisure to care about others. He didn't bother to answer, but was busy helping her adjust her posture. "Don't worry about him for now. You are the most important thing right now. Come, put the pillow under your waist..."
"This belly...why does it look like I have two of them?"
"Two? Oh, really!"
Li Shanglu listened in astonishment, his mind going blank.
She was actually pregnant with two children. Now, the two names that Shen Changyi came up with could really be used by that idiot.
The baby's loud cries soon filled the entire Shutong Pavilion.
Everything went smoothly, surprisingly smoothly even with two children.
There was almost no pain or struggle during the whole process. When the cub came out, she took the time to take a look. It was so ugly. She couldn't tell who it looked like. Anyway, it was just scary ugly.
She felt slightly hot and sweaty, but not tired. The two doctors cleaned her up, covered her with a blanket, and brought the cubs to her.
"Madam Sword Immortal, they are twins, a boy and a girl. Master Sword Immortal is truly blessed."
Li Shanglu glanced at the two brats and couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. It was really ugly.
Never mind, I'll just give you a hug.
She reached out and held one of the cubs in her arms. It was soft and small, like something extremely precious and fragile. Li Shanglu couldn't help but hold his breath. He was so close that he could barely tell from the child's eyebrows and eyes that the child was her own.
Although, it's still ugly.
Li Shanglu handed the cub to the doctor's arms, then took out the prepared thank-you gift from his storage ring and handed it to them, "Thank you, doctors."
The doctors accepted all the gifts without hesitation, smiling and saying auspicious words, "No need to thank us, we are also blessed by Madam Sword Immortal's good fortune. These two children are brother and sister, and the brother was born earlier than the sister. I believe he will be a good child who can protect his sister in the future."
Li Shanglu listened absentmindedly for a long time before she asked again, "Where's Chen Changyi?"
The tone was slightly dissatisfied.
She gave birth to two children for Shen Changyi, and gave birth from dusk to dawn, but Shen Changyi never showed up from beginning to end. Where did he go?
The two doctors looked at each other, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Well...after Master Sword Immortal brought us here, he said he was too tired and needed to rest for a while."
After he finished speaking, Li Shanglu fell silent.
Is he tired?
He was just going to see a doctor, and the round trip was at most five miles. How tiring could it be to use the earth escape technique?
His heart sank, and Li Shanglu stopped talking.
My mother said that when she gave birth to her, my father stayed outside the door, crying and shouting louder than my mother. He was afraid that something might happen to my mother. After she gave birth, he rushed over, hugged my mother, fed her water, and wiped her sweat.
But Chen Changyi couldn't do half of what his father did.
Li Shanglu had heard that many men would show their true colors after a woman gave birth to a child, and would no longer cherish the woman once they got her.
Shen Changyi, this idiot, doesn't he really think that after she gives birth to a child, he doesn't have to be attentive to her anymore, right?
Oh, I really shouldn't let him get what he wants.
The morning sun emerged from the clouds, and the sky was covered with misty fog on the top of the mountain.
Under the plum tree on Gushan Mountain, blood-red petals fell on the white Taoist robe, gorgeous and eye-catching. Shen Changyi was soaked in snow water, gasping weakly, and his red fingertips trembled as he grabbed the floating snow on the ground and stuffed it into his clothes.
If it gets colder, the pain won’t go away.
An unknown amount of time had passed before his limbs became cold and numb, and Shen Changyi's breathing became shallower. Noticing that the severe pain was showing signs of easing, he was finally able to concentrate on circulating his spiritual energy, and his body gradually recovered its temperature.
He walked back to Shutong Pavilion, his boots stepping on the snow with alternating deep and shallow steps.
Shen Changyi pushed open the door and saw two doctors rushing towards him happily, holding the child.
"Master Sword Immortal, they are twins, a boy and a girl. You are so lucky!"
He opened his eyes slightly, and the pain in his body seemed to be gone. He walked past the two doctors and came to Li Shanglu's bed.
"Shanglu, how are you?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Li Shanglu had been looking at him since he entered the door. He looked like he had fallen into water, his whole body was wet, and a chill came over him.
"Stay away from me, are you trying to freeze me to death?" She said with a cold gaze and a harsh tone, "Where have you been?"
Hearing this, Shen Changyi took a half step back, not knowing how to explain, "I..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, two doctors hurried out to smooth things over. "Madam's birth was smooth and there is no problem. From now on, you just need to take good care of yourself. Master Sword Immortal, would you like to change your clothes first? Madam will be easily sick if she gets cold."
Shen Changyi nodded quickly, looked at Li Shanglu, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and went to change his clothes first.
After the two doctors left, Shen Changyi carefully walked to the bedside and stuffed a piece of warm jade into Li Shanglu's quilt.
The two little cubs seemed to be tired of crying. They lay down beside Li Shanglu, with tears on their chubby little faces, and fell into a deep sleep.
Li Shanglu didn't even look at Shen Changyi, he just held the handkerchief and wiped the tears of the two clown children.
Chen Changyi stared at her in a daze. The gentle look of her wiping the child's tears somehow softened his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. "Shanglu, you've worked hard."
"You still know how hard I've worked?" Li Shanglu sneered, "Why don't you wait until I'm dead before you come and comfort me?"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Changyi subconsciously raised his hand to cover her lips, his brows furrowed, "Don't say such things."
Shang Lu will be fine. He has calculated it dozens or hundreds of times, and Shang Lu will definitely be safe.
Li Shanglu grabbed his cold hand and shook it off, saying impatiently, "Get away from me! You're still touching me after getting soaked in the snow."
Shen Changyi quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes swept over her, and after confirming that she was in good condition, he finally looked at the two little cubs sleeping beside her.
So small.
So cute.
He couldn't help but smile and whispered, "Shanglu, they look so much like you."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu lowered his eyes to look at the two clown children with wrinkled faces, and twitched his lips slightly, "Like you, just as ugly as you."
Shen Changyi didn't think it was ugly, but rather felt happy to hear her say that, "It really looks like me, look at his mouth."
He pointed at the cub's tightly pursed mouth, then at himself, "They look the same."
This idiot didn't get her sarcasm at all. Seeing his silly smile, Li Shanglu snorted and the anger in his heart inexplicably dissipated.
Shen Changyi looked at the two little ones with fondness and said softly, "This is Yan He, and this is Shuning..."
Hearing his words, Li Shanglu propped his chin up on his hand and said coldly, "Who allowed you to name them?"
Shen Changyi choked and whispered tentatively, "What does Shang Lu want to call them?"
In fact, Li Shanglu didn't think of a name at all, she just simply didn't like the way Shen Changyi made decisions without her consent.
She pondered for a moment, her eyes sweeping across the table not far away, on which was placed the fruit sent by the sect leader.
After a while, Li Shanglu pursed his lips and whispered, "The big ones are called small persimmons, and the small ones are called small oranges."
Shen Changyi was silent.
Li Shanglu was a little embarrassed and angry, "Why, I named my child, and you have objections? I can name him whatever I want."
She knew it sounded casual, but it was obviously a child's name, and humble names made it easier to raise the children. The two little kids looked so thin and small, it was a good thing they could be raised. This idiot didn't know anything.
"Hmm..." Shen Changyi said cautiously, "I have no objection. Shang Lu's name is better than mine."
Small tomatoes and small oranges are also good.
It sounds delicious and sweet. He will only eat persimmons and oranges from now on.
Soon, the sky brightened. Lord Du Heng heard the news and came to congratulate, followed by Elder Teng and Qiu Hanyu...
The sect leader arrived late, her eyes dark and gloomy, as if she hadn't rested well. She looked a little tired, but she still forced herself to show concern for Li Shanglu, "Shanglu, you need to rest well. Did you take the pills I sent you earlier? They are excellent tonics for women..."
Li Shanglu nodded and said softly, "I've eaten it all. Thank you, Sect Master."
When facing the sect leader, she would always be unconsciously infected by the other party's kindness and tolerance, and her mother's appearance appeared in her mind.
The sect leader looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but after a while, he held it back.
Li Shanglu noticed her hesitation and asked in a low voice, "Master, is there anything you want to say to me?"
The Sect Master's eyes trembled, and his voice was choked with sobs. "To be honest, seven days ago, Du'er received news that the demon generals were appearing in the Southern Territory. Those demon cultivators feared the Sword Immortal Master and had always been very well hidden. This time, the news we received was also brought to us by more than a dozen Taiyin Mountain disciples at the risk of their lives..."
Xie Du originally wanted to ask Shen Changyi to get rid of the demon general, but Li Shanglu was about to give birth those days, so Shen Changyi refused. In order to delay the demon general, Xie Du went to the Southern Region alone.
For seven whole days, there was no news.
The sect leader was extremely anxious, but did not dare to speak out. He only waited until Li Shanglu was able to give birth to the child safely and smoothly before coming to ask Shen Changyi to come out and eliminate the demon.
However, as soon as she entered Shutong Pavilion, she couldn't say anything. Shang Lu had just given birth to a child and her body must still be weak. How could she let Shen Changyi leave her side at this time?
Ke Duer is her child.
The people in the Southern Region who were harmed by the evil cultivators were also other people's children.
"I know I was too selfish in this matter," the Sect Master shed tears and said softly, "Shang Lu, I don't ask for your forgiveness. I will do my best to make amends. Please let the Sword Immortal go and exorcise the demon."
Hearing their words, Shen Changyi, who was holding Little Orange, slowly lowered his gaze to the Sect Master. After a long while, he silently lowered his gaze and did not speak.
Li Shanglu stared at the tears on her face. Even the leader of the immortal sect was a flesh-and-blood person.
But isn't Chen Changyi also his parents' child?
It's just that his parents are gone.
"Shen Changyi."
She called out, and Shen Changyi came over in response.
Li Shanglu looked him up and down for a long moment, then asked suspiciously, "How powerful are you?"
After the words fell, the sect leader and Shen Changyi were stunned.
He didn't know how to describe it, and then he heard Li Shanglu whisper, "Demon General, can you defeat him?"
Although no one knows what kind of person the Demon General is, he sounds like he is no small character. Xie Du has been gone for seven days without any news. I believe that the Demon General must be so strong that Xie Du cannot handle him at all.
Since coming to Ming Zhou Sect, Li Shanglu has seen all kinds of things in the world that he has never seen in his life.
Shen Changyi said softly, "I can beat him."
"real?"
"Um."
He answered calmly, which made Li Shanglu's heart gradually calm down.
"Then go ahead." Li Shanglu took Xiaojuzi from his arms and said in a low voice, "Come back soon."
Shen Changyi looked at her deeply, and slowly curled his fingertips. "Wait for me for three days."
He always wanted to be a good husband and a good father, but he overlooked that his wife was also the best wife in the world.
Shanglu is much stronger than him.
The Sect Master closed his eyes and bowed, "Thank you, Master Sword Immortal, and thank you, Shang Lu. I will remember this kindness."
Li Shanglu coughed lightly twice, feeling a bit uneasy, and stuffed the little orange into her arms. "What's the point of being so kind? Please don't be idle. Help me take care of the child."
Hearing this, the clan leader's eyelashes trembled, and he nodded gently, holding Little Orange in his arms, "Hey, this child looks so much like you."
Li Shanglu: ...
Where exactly is she wrinkled?
