Before nightfall, Qinling and his group found a clearing at the foot of a mountain to rest.
Liu Zheng hurriedly went to fetch Doctor You.
After hearing Liu Zheng's description, Doctor You had a general idea of what was going on.
Tao Zhi was still eating those tooth-sour preserved plums when she heard that Doctor You was going to take her pulse.
Still unsure, ask Doctor You.
"Dr. You, did you notice something wrong with my complexion?"
Qin Luo also leaned over to listen, just in case she needed to intervene.
Dr. You watched Tao Zhi eat preserved plums, and his own teeth felt like they were chattering.
"Extend your hand, let me take your pulse!"
Tao Zhi extended her right hand for Doctor You to take her pulse, while Qin Xian stood nervously to the side.
Qin Yundu also gripped the hem of his clothes with great concern.
After taking the pulse, Doctor You sighed.
Why now? Even a few months later would have been fine!
After saying that, he glared at Qin Xian again.
Qin Xian looked completely bewildered, and then he heard Doctor You say...
"Your pulse looks very stable, but you should still walk less and sit as much as possible. No matter how good your health is, you need to take care of yourself at this time. Eat more every day and don't go hungry..."
Qin Xian suddenly grabbed Doctor You's arm and asked sadly.
"Dr. You, how much longer?"
Dr. You stroked his beard and did some calculations.
"It'll be about seven months. There's no rush to prepare the things; we can get them ready once we get to the resettlement location. You just need to take good care of her these days!"
Qin Xian's vision was blurred by tears, and not wanting Tao Zhi to see, he wiped his eyes haphazardly.
Tao Zhi was still eating the preserved plum with a completely bewildered expression.
Qin Xian pulled Doctor You aside
"I understand, Doctor You. I'll have to trouble you to prescribe more tonics, any amount of silver is fine!"
Dr. You waved his hand
"Tao Zhi has a good constitution. As long as she eats normally and doesn't go hungry, she shouldn't take too many supplements. If the fetus gets too big from the supplements, it will be difficult to give birth later!"
"What?" Qin Xian's shout startled Doctor You, who patted him twice on the back: "You brat, what are you yelling about? What are you yelling about? You scared me!"
Qin Xian gripped Doctor You's shoulders tightly with both hands.
"Dr. You said Tao Zhi is pregnant? Not that she's going to die?"
Doctor You slapped his hand away.
"You brat, get off me! When did I say she was going to die?"
"Didn't you say we'd prepare the supplies once they arrived at the resettlement location? Shouldn't we be preparing...?"
Dr. You angrily smacked him on the forehead several times.
"I'm talking about the things that children need and that production requires. What on earth are you thinking?"
Qin Xian was actually quite happy after being hit, and he picked up Doctor You and started spinning around in circles.
Seeing this, Mu Xiao rushed over and pointed at Qin Xian.
"Put my father down!"
Qin Xian put down Doctor You, hugged Mu Xiao tightly again, and then turned and ran.
This left Mu Xiao completely bewildered, so she turned to ask Doctor You.
"Father, has he gone mad?"
Dr. You chuckled twice: "When you become a father, you'll probably be even crazier than him!"
Mu Xiao blushed at his words.
"Father, don't worry! I will definitely find a good girl so you can hold your grandson as soon as possible!"
Doctor You stroked his beard: "Good, good, good, hahahaha~"
Qin Xian returned to Tao Zhi's side, grinning foolishly. Tao Zhi shouted at Liu Zheng.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, quickly let Sixth Cousin come and see, Qin Xian seems to have gone mad!"
Qin Xian was still smiling when Qin Liang and Liu Zheng arrived.
Qin Liang slapped him on the forehead, and he looked at Qin Liang with a grin.
"Sixth cousin, Miaomiao is here!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Liang and Liu Zheng happily congratulated the two.
Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then pulled Qin Yundu to her side.
"Yun Du, did you hear that? Miao Miao is here. Your mother didn't lie to you, did she?"
Qin Yundu was also overjoyed and at a loss for words.
"My little sister's here, hehe~ My little sister's here!"
Everyone was happy for Qin Xian and his wife. Liu Zheng held Tao Zhi's hand.
"Sister-in-law, starting tomorrow you won't have to walk anymore. There's enough room for you in the donkey cart. And you don't have to cook anymore, I'll do it all from now on, so our little Miaomiao can have plenty to eat in her belly!"
Tao Zhi gets excited as soon as she hears there's something delicious to eat.
"Sixth Sister-in-law, it's fine whether you walk or not, but you can't go back on your promise to cook me something delicious!"
Liu Zheng immediately guaranteed
"I won't change it, I'll make it for you every day, right now, and I'll put extra oil in the fried dough!"
"Okay, okay, let's go together, I can't stay still!"
As Tao Zhi spoke, she pushed Liu Zheng to make fried dough cakes.
Qin Luo took a bottle of folic acid and called Liu Zheng aside.
"Auntie, this was given to us by Lord Kang. Please have my younger aunt eat one every day; it'll be good for her!"
Liu Zheng took it and gave it to Tao Zhi.
Qin Luo summoned the Cloth Bag Squad again, and also called Qin Xian and Mu Xiao over.
The two were very curious about what the children were going to do.
They used to not let anyone near them when they gathered, but they made an exception today?
Qin Luo clearly stated the purpose of gathering them together.
"My aunt is going to give birth to our little sister. I think the whole village should celebrate. Do you all agree?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Agreed!"
"Okay!" Qin Luo looked at Qin Xian and Mu Xiao.
"Uncle Mu Xiao, Uncle Xiao, would you be willing to help us?"
The two of them spoke in unison: "Yes!"
"Alright! Then you all come with me!"
Qin Luo led everyone as they ran into the mountains.
They stopped where the clansmen and villagers couldn't see them.
She clasped her hands together in prayer towards the night sky.
"Lord Kang, please grant us three large wild boars! We beg you! Thank you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, three large wild boars appeared on the ground with a thud.
