Qing suddenly remembered that he had brought back a large bag of salt blocks some time ago. He hadn't thought much about it at the time, but he didn't expect that he had already brought it back then.
"But you didn't go to the beach to collect salt blocks, so who collected your salt blocks? Did you trade them with someone else?"
"Yes, I used the meat of three cows to exchange for such a big bag of salt. That should be enough for us, right? If it's not enough, we'll just have to be careful with it, or we'll have to find someone else to exchange it with."
"So much meat?"
Just imagine, the meat from one cow is more than that from three modern cows, equivalent to almost ten cows, all for that one big bag of salt mixed with sand. It's heartbreaking to think about.
But I can't show it. Now I can't even think about having kids anymore. I have to have one, tonight.
Next year, Yong and I will go to the beach to collect salt blocks. We'll collect a lot, since we don't need to worry about where to put them.
She can no longer look at that huge block of salt; the meat of ten cows was exchanged for that roughly 20-pound block of salt.
It seems that salt is indeed very precious in the tribe. It seems that I should spend more time with the women in the tribe and learn more about their lives.
However, the thought of those three huge cows being exchanged for salt still makes my heart ache.
She ate the meat soup in silence, not wanting to say anything. After she finished, Yong immediately carried her into the bedroom.
I originally wanted to avoid it, but the high price of salt spurred me on, so I decided not to bother anymore.
But don't forget to eat the good stuff; keep eating until you're close to giving birth.
Seeing Yong busy on her body, she quickly and secretly took a pregnancy pill so that she wouldn't have to worry about any danger and could give birth safely.
By the time it was over, my legs felt weak. If I dare to eat deer blood again, I definitely won't let him off the hook.
With such a great physique, why would you need to eat deer blood? Aren't you afraid of overdoing it?
The two spent a month in the cave, day and night, before finally stopping.
The reason he stopped wasn't because Yong was tired, but because it was his turn to patrol the tribe. During the winter, everyone could safely hibernate because the men in the tribe had to take turns patrolling to protect the tribe's safety.
To be honest, I felt a sense of relief the day Yong left.
This past month has finally shown her that the tribal warriors' robust physiques are no joke, giving her the illusion that she's about to die in bed.
Even if Yong only needs to patrol during the day for the time being, don't let her feel relieved.
To her surprise, when Yong returned from patrol, he was surprisingly well-behaved on the kang (a heated brick bed) that night. Yong, who usually tormented Qing every night, was now sleeping peacefully with her.
This is so unlike him!
However, it was good to be able to rest for a day. That night, Qing was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
But for the next three or four days, she didn't encounter any green spots, which aroused her curiosity.
As the two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) that night, Qing whispered to Yong, "What's wrong with you these past few days? Why don't you want to have a baby anymore?"
"You don't need to have any more babies. The baby is already in your belly. You won't need to have any more babies until you give birth to it."
Upon hearing this, Qing quickly calculated the time and found that it had indeed been more than a month since she took the fertility pill.
This made her particularly curious, since she, as the mother, hadn't discovered it first, but the father had.
How did you know I was pregnant?
Yong scratched his head, unsure how to explain, "That's how I found out. I knew you were pregnant as soon as you started carrying the baby."
"When did you discover it? Was it the day you came back from your first patrol?"
"Yes, I found it when I came back from patrol that day."
What kind of special ability is this? I really wish I had this ability too. I can even feel that I'm pregnant.
Life after becoming pregnant was no different from usual. Normally, Yong would prepare all three meals a day, but after becoming pregnant, I didn't need to prepare any myself.
Moreover, after she became pregnant, Yongzhen never touched her again. Even when she was extremely aroused and went to the river to break the ice and jump into the river to cool down, he would not touch her.
Sometimes I tease him on purpose, just to see if he can't control himself, but in the end, seeing him jump into the river again and again, I think I should just give up.
When winter was halfway over, the baby in her belly was already three months along. She was fed delicious food and drinks every day, three meals a day, one of which was venison, which made Qing feel hot all over.
He forced himself on her while she was sleeping at night. Yong could have stopped him, but he was worried about hurting the baby in her womb, so he didn't dare to resist.
After it was over, he kept watching Qing and didn't dare to sleep, worried that her stomach might be upset.
Qing was sleeping very soundly at that time. Pregnant women also have needs, you know. Just because someone kicked the baby doesn't mean you can ignore the pregnant woman.
When I woke up the next day, I saw that Yong had dark circles under his eyes and was staring at Qing. I was worried that something might have happened.
Even the patrol duties were covered by someone else, so he spent the whole day keeping an eye on Qing.
After a day, seeing that Qing was eating, drinking, and sleeping well without any reaction, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he has to come every few days, he still worries, but not as much as he did at the beginning.
By the time winter had passed and spring had arrived, the baby in her womb was already six months along.
They dared not cause any more trouble.
Even if Yongxue is very self-disciplined, he will accompany his partner to have sex once every five days. After six months, it was exactly five days. He was about to accompany his partner to have sex when his partner pushed him away, leaving him completely bewildered.
"What's wrong? Qing, are you feeling unwell today?"
"Oh, I'm not feeling unwell, I just don't want to go through any more trouble. I'll wait until after I give birth."
Although Yong didn't quite understand why his partner didn't want to make any changes, he was obedient. Since his partner said she didn't want to make any changes, then she wouldn't.
When spring comes, the snow slowly melts away.
Qing also experienced how difficult winter was. He thought about how he spent six months staying in the cave every day, not daring to go out because the snow was too heavy and he would be buried in the snow in an instant.
I finally understand why we live in caves. Even the cave closest to the ground is four or five meters above the ground.
It was definitely to prevent water from rushing into the cave when the snow melted, which is why the cave was built at such a high place.
When spring arrived, Qing was about to give birth. On the day of her birth, an old woman from the tribe helped deliver the baby.
