Bai Jiu: "I have to say, you guys are really something. In a natural disaster, even adults can't survive, and you're still having children?"
Having a child during a natural disaster or apocalypse is undoubtedly gambling with one's life against the King of Hell.
Upon hearing this, the couple blushed.
"We didn't intend to have children; we just got pregnant unexpectedly."
But since she was already pregnant, having an abortion was also a gamble with her life, so she had no choice but to give birth despite the risks.
They bled so much during childbirth that they almost died, but were fortunate to have some medicine they had hidden during the day.
Fortunately, she was born eventually, but Bai Di's health collapsed due to excessive bleeding.
As the group ate and chatted, a baby's weak cry came from the inner room.
Bai Di got up to check on the child, and Bai Shuang followed him in.
On the earthen bed, a tiny baby was crying. The child was only the size of a kitten and very thin. It was obvious that the baby was premature and malnourished. Bai Shuang was worried that the baby might die at any moment and wondered how Bai Di had managed to raise her.
"A few months?"
"It's been four months, Miss."
Given Bai Di's current physical condition, she should have no breast milk at all. Under such circumstances, she was still able to raise the premature baby, which shows how much effort she put in.
After changing the diaper, I ladled some white porridge from the pot, mashed it with a spoon, and fed it to the baby.
Plain porridge is a proper food, and in the apocalypse, it's a rare treat that most survivors can't find.
I suppose the rice I used to cook the porridge was usually reserved for the children.
"Wait, there are still a few cans of milk powder in the car. I'll go get them for you."
Bai Shuang led Bai Jiu to open the car door, and while no one was around, they took some of the supplies from their spatial storage and stuffed them into the trunk.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be strange for a group of people to travel a long distance without bringing any food, clothing, or other necessities?
As for Bai Shuang's ability to freely store and store supplies, neither Bai Shuang nor Bai Jiu mentioned it.
It's not that I don't trust my former subordinates, but in this apocalyptic world, I dare not gamble with people's hearts; the fewer people who know my secrets, the better.
To survive in the apocalypse, everyone has to rely on themselves.
Bai Shuang will help them, but only on the premise of taking care of herself first and keeping the secret.
Bai Shuang gave her six 900-gram cans of infant formula; that was all she could get, as the trunk had limited supplies, and it would be strange to give her any more.
With Bai Jiu's help, they obtained cold-resistant potatoes, monkey fruit, noodles, rice, and other items.
However, the couple absolutely refused to eat noodles or rice during the day.
"It's unreasonable for the young lady to eat at our house and then ask for food."
Don't worry, we have stored grain. The half we saved up on our own back then is enough to last us for several more years.
Bai Shuang knew they were worried about not having enough food on the road, but she believed what they said.
Before the disaster, they both bought houses and had savings. When they separated, Bai Shuang not only gave them two extra months' salary, but also gave each of them an extra million.
In other words, when they were stockpiling goods, the two of them together would have easily 10 million yuan. Even if half of it was squandered by Bai Di's family, the other half would still be enough to last them a long time.
Since they don't want it, they probably don't really need it. If we keep refusing, it will create distance between us.
Six cans of formula, along with some complementary foods, can last them a long time. When they get a little older, they can eat rice cereal or porridge.
"This is what we stockpiled before the disaster. We kept it in the car to drink on the road, but we'll leave some for the children."
When Bai Di saw the milk powder, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to take it, but then he remembered something and stopped.
"Miss, could you please give us the milk powder? You're running out of food on the way."
"It's alright, take it. We have prepared plenty of food. If you really need more, you can go to the Dragon City base and exchange some gold bars for it."
"Miss, here are two cans for you to drink on your way."
"No need, the child needs to be taken care of first."
Bai Di bowed deeply to Bai Shuang. Before the disaster, they hadn't stockpiled any milk powder and had searched everywhere but couldn't find any. They never expected that Miss would come and give such a precious thing to the child.
Shuang also handed her six bottles of spiritual spring water, saying, "This is made with precious medicinal herbs. Add a few drops each time you make formula to enhance immunity and promote growth."
Remember, don't drip too much; her body can't handle it.
So frail and small, Bai Shuang was truly worried that she wouldn't survive.
Bai Di did as instructed, prepared a small pot of milk for the child, and picked up the child to feed him.
Children are very sensitive to the spring water. After taking a sip, it's like tasting something delicious, and they immediately start gulping it down.
Bai Di was a little dumbfounded; her child had never eaten with such relish before.
The child slept for a long time and fell asleep right after feeding, so Bai Shuang took her pulse and examined her body.
"It's alright, he's just thin and weak, nothing else wrong. With better nutrition and careful attention, he'll gradually recover."
She taught Bai Di a set of massage techniques, including abdominal massage, spinal pinching, kneading Zusanli (ST36), and pressing Yongquan (KI1) acupoints, to improve immunity and promote growth.
I checked Bai Di again and left her two boxes of Bai's Ginseng Nourishing Pills, each containing 30 pills.
"This is a special medicine. Take one pill in the morning and one at night. These two boxes are enough for one course of treatment. I can't guarantee whether it will cure you completely, but it will definitely make you much better."
Avoid spicy and greasy foods. If you have a cold or fever, stop taking them.
"Miss, you've given me such precious medicine, aren't you going to use it?"
"I'm keeping this just in case, in case I'm short of energy while traveling. You don't have to, but I'll give it to you if you need it."
"Thank you, Miss. If it weren't for you, my daughter and I might not have survived."
"You're welcome, we've known each other for years."
In the evening, Bai Chang washed some monkey fruit for everyone to eat. Everyone was curious after tasting the crisp and sweet fruit.
