"Mother, Aunt, what should we do now?" After picking up Zhen Wanwan, Qu Huaiyuan didn't do anything else. He just stood there blankly, looking at the group.
The elderly women present looked at him in surprise, seemingly not expecting his reaction. It was Grandma Li who was the first to recover and hurriedly instructed, "Yes, just hold Wanwan like this, and then carry her back to my cave..."
"Okay!"
Upon receiving the order, Qu Huaiyuan rushed headlong toward Zhen Wanwan's cave.
It started to drizzle again outside, and Qu Huaiyuan blocked the occasional drizzle that blew into the corridor.
As he was about to disappear from their sight, Grandma Li and several other elderly women jogged to keep up with Qu Huaiyuan's pace.
He had walked this road countless times today, but this was the first time he felt it was so long. The soft, delicate person in his arms lay fragilely in his embrace, yet he had no romantic thoughts whatsoever.
Because of the close proximity, he could clearly smell the strong stench of blood, and the stronger the smell, the heavier his heart became.
He hadn't felt this afraid when he was fighting those people earlier, but now he felt that if he slowed down even a little, the person in his arms would perish.
Therefore, he walked quickly and steadily in the dark, just to reach his destination as soon as possible.
Zhen Wanwan was unaware of the thoughts of those around her, but the pain she felt was very real.
What kind of human suffering is this?!
She was in unbearable pain, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked through. The pattering rain was making her feel even more irritable.
She no longer cared about Qu Huaiyuan's presence. Unconsciously, she took the pill out of her spatial storage and put it directly into her mouth to swallow. However, the pill was a bit big, and she accidentally swallowed it.
If she survived the pain of childbirth but swallowed the pills, she might die with regrets! Zhen Wanwan thought to herself.
Fortunately, she was lucky; the pill melted in her throat and took effect quickly. She could no longer feel the pain as soon as she reached the entrance of the Zhen family cave.
Wang Cuihua had just finished tidying the bed and was about to boil another kettle of water when she bumped into Qu Huaiyuan carrying Zhen Wanwan in.
She was so frightened that she almost fell into the campfire, but Qu Huaiyuan anxiously asked Wang Cuihua, "Sister-in-law, what should I do now?"
"Huh?" Wang Cuihua was taken aback for a moment, then immediately instructed Qu Huaiyuan to place the person on the bed: "Just put him here!"
Qu Huaiyuan stood stiffly and carefully delivered Zhen Wanwan safely. He stared blankly at Zhen Wanwan on the bed, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Wang Cuihua quickly settled Zhen Wanwan in, and seeing that Qu Huaiyuan was still standing there without moving, she disregarded politeness and directly chased him away.
"Master Tongsheng, please leave! I'll take care of things here!"
Although she didn't understand why it was Qu Huaiyuan who brought Zhen Wanwan back, she figured that her mother-in-law would always be there to hold up the sky if it fell, so she just needed to make sure the person was settled!
Qu Huaiyuan obediently left the cave, but he was worried about the people inside and paced back and forth anxiously.
Several elderly women couldn't keep up with Qu Huaiyuan's pace and arrived late. As soon as they arrived, they grabbed Qu Huaiyuan and asked him questions.
"Huaiyuan, where is she?"
"I've already put her inside, and my sister-in-law is watching over her!" Qu Huaiyuan hurriedly pushed the person into the cave after seeing that everyone had returned. He only relaxed after seeing that the delivery was proceeding smoothly inside.
Zhen Wanwan felt ashamed as her lower body was stripped naked, but she knew it was something she had to go through. After cheering herself up, she completely relaxed and cooperated with the group.
Everyone present was a woman who had given birth, especially Aunt Zhou, who had given birth to six children and was very experienced. She was the midwife for this delivery.
Aunt Zhou gently instructed, "Wanwan, you must not shout loudly, otherwise you won't have the strength to push when you give birth."
Zhen Wanwan understood what he meant; that's what doctors always said in TV dramas...
"And remember to breathe in and out in sync with my commands later..."
"Don't use too much force, or your lower body might tear, and you'll suffer a lot afterward..."
"..."
Because of the field production, Zhen Wanwan was also afraid of bacterial infection. She kept every word of their experience in mind and dared not miss the slightest detail, for fear that she might accidentally die.
Life is precious, she doesn't want to die!
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had prepared everything for production well in advance, and that they could use it directly after sterilizing it.
Because she had taken painkillers, she could no longer feel any pain in her lower body and even had the mind to think about other things. Seeing that Grandma Li and the others were busy taking care of her, she felt fortunate.
Fortunately, the Zhen family did not discriminate against girls in this life, and she did not have to be afraid of being abandoned even if she became pregnant out of wedlock. The original owner was both lucky and unlucky. She had such a family who loved and doted on her, but her own life was bitter and short.
For the original owner, getting pregnant out of wedlock was probably the most painful thing, not to mention having to raise the child alone for the next few decades and never feeling her husband's love.
For her, this was a blessing. In her previous life, she had an unhappy family. Her parents divorced and abandoned her. She grew up and lived alone. She was filled with fear of marriage and had no interest in men, even feeling disgusted by them.
But only she knew that during holidays, while everyone else had homes to return to and families to look forward to, she could only lie alone in her rented room eating instant noodles.
She longed for family affection, so meeting Zhen's family was a blessing for her. For the original owner, getting pregnant out of wedlock was the beginning of misfortune, but for her, it was a stroke of luck.
In her past life, she didn't want to get married. Now that she's transmigrated to an ancient era where not getting married is a sin, she's definitely resistant to it. However, getting pregnant is a great help in solving her marriage problem.
How wonderful it is to not have to integrate into other people's families, not have to stay at other people's homes, and not have to take care of other people's parents!
Aside from the instability of her journey to escape famine, she is quite content with her current situation.
She will never get married again in this lifetime. Her pursuit is to become rich and raise her adorable child. Men are out of the question.
A sudden clap of thunder interrupted Zhen Wanwan's thoughts, and at the same time she felt something slip out from under her.
"Waaaaaah..." A loud baby's cry rang out, heralding his birth.
Aunt Zhou exclaimed joyfully, "Oh my, she's given birth! She's given birth!"
"Wow, how is it so fast? Let me see!"
The women who came to help gathered around the child, but Old Lady Li showed no joy. She went to the bed and gently wiped away Zhen Wanwan's sweat with a pained expression.
Zhen Wanwan knew her mother was worried about her, so she forced a smile and comforted Old Lady Li, "Mother, I'm fine. Go and see if the child is pretty."
Grandma Li was clearly misled by her and said reproachfully, "How can we tell if a newborn baby is good-looking or not?"
"Hehehe..." Before Zhen Wanwan's laughter had faded, she suddenly felt something strange in her stomach.
